Crib: Flood Rages
The Crib seems to be going hug
wild over publicity. First, it was
a burning drape Tuesday after
noon now, this.
At 2:46 Wednesday afternoon,
reporters on The Daily Nebraskan
were startled when the ceiling of
their office, located just below the
Crib, began to drip water.
Further investigation revealed
that Crib workers had inadvert
antly allowed one of the dish
washing troughs to overflow,
causing a minor flood behind the
counter and the seepage into the
floor below. As the reporter
reached the scene, Fritz Hcgwood
was seen busily mopping up the
water.
Today, neither the Lincoln Fire
Department nor the Union fire
siren was needed to avert tragedy.

ally appeared as a-storjr-in the
Prairie Schooner magazine, will
be presented on Mid Country,
weekly dramatic show, over sta

23, at 2:45 p. m.

thirties, who runs away from the
family farm to find work in the
city. The story depicts the dis

the depression years.

rhillips Tells Need.
Mary Claire Phillips, past AUF
director, expressed the needs for
aid thru the World Student Serv
ice fund in a statement to The
Daily Nebraskan.
She said, "A vast number of
students thruout the world are
in poor health, have contracted
tuberculosis, are undernourished,
and are inadequately clothed and
badly housed. Naturally, they're
discouraged and despondent. If
these students are to be the lead
ers of their nations in future
years, an it is the students who
will make the best leaders, they
must be restored to health, san
ity and self confidence. They
must be brought back to their
long-interrupted studies with de
cent living conditions."

Music Majors
Take 'Day Off
For Fall Picnic
"Where were the music ma
jors?" might well be the question
in many minds after 4:00 yester
day afternoon, when the familiar
musical sounds ceased and quiet
ness settled over the School of
Music.
Upon investigation, even the
Temple Theater, where weekly
Wednesday afternoon recitals
take place with clockwork regu
larity, was found empty. The only
clue to this mystery was a sign in
the music building which read,
"Picnic today at Antelope Park
for all music majors and instruc
tors!" Prior to the war, the School of
Music picnic was an annual
spring event. Beginning this year,
however, the picnic will take
place in the fall, due to the
crowded spring calendar. Its pur
pose is to give the new and old
students an opportunity to be
come acquainted with each other.
Although the picnic is spon
sored by the School of Music, the
music sororities and -fraternity
are in charge of the plans, with
Jack Snider, Sinfonia president,
heading the groups. They are
Delta Omicron, Sigma Alpha Iota,
Mu Phi Epsilon, and Phi Mu Al
pha of Sinfonia.

Six skits are scheduled for pre

novelty from our dubious Russian
neighbors which will no doubt do
much to strengthen relations be
tween us and our friends from the
icy steppes. It will also do much
towards causing the MC to resign
his job due to the originality of
the name, "IIooaceHka IIo
pyeckN." Farm House will be on hand
with an epic which should stir
memories of old school days, and
especially graduation days. "Pun
kin Hill Grammer School Gradua
tion" is the title of the takeoff on
education. A tale of the icy North
west is the subject of the skit to
bo presented by AGR. The
Shooiin' of Dan McGrew will be
retold as amended by the "boys

Cossack Chorus
Opens Second
Concert Series
The second of Lincoln's coiT
cert scries to open within a week
will get under way tonight at
8:30 in the auditorium of Lincoln
high school when the Don Cos
sack Chorus and Dancers appear
under the sponsorship of the Lin
coln Fine Arts series.
Serge Jaroff, director of the 32-six-foot
Russian chorusters, is
himself no bigger than the pro
verbial "kid brother" in his first
pair of long pants. All of four-feet-ten-and-a-half,
Jaroff will
take his famous singers who be
came naturalized citizens four
years ago, to 119 cities from now
until March, performing their
Muscovite liturgies, rollicking
Cossack novelties and soldier
songs. The last concert this sea
son will be their 6,182nd since
their origin in 1920.
In thhe spring, the Don Cos
sacks will return to Europe for
their first regular tour of the Con
tinent in nine years. During the
war, however, the chorus enter
tained a combined total of 95,
000 GI's stationed in England,
France, Holland, Belgium and
Germany.
Critics Reports Favorable
Typical of critical acclaim was
one New York Times report that
"The singers display a rich fund
of deep religious fervor, irresis
tible humor, vitality and exuber
ance!" Quite unlike any other
choral group, the Cossacks "can
transform Madison Sq"kare Gar
den into a telephone booth," in
the words of an enthusiastic
World-Telegram critic.
Tickets are on sale today at
Walt's Music Store and at the
high school box office after 7 p.m.
Sinele prices range from $1.20 to
$3.60,
by the Ag Men Social Club. Ama

in the Dell." Activity will center

Swanee" will offer variety In the
way of a musical by the girls from
Loomis Hall.
