Study Shows
Puhlic Chooses
Police Stories
Police and fire news stories,
either t)lain or fancy, seem to im
press newspaper readers more
than other local government
stories such as those from the city
hall, court house or federal build
ing. This conclusion comes from an
analysis made by the University
School of Journalism. The
school's study, however, used sur
vey material from outside Ne
braska 144 stories from 11 pa
pers. Women, the study revealed, re
member illustrated and feature
stories much better than stories
treated in routine style. The same
is true of men, but the contrast
is not so great.
William H. Hice, university
journalism instructor, explained
the study was limited to local
stories coming from police and
fire coverage, from the city hall,
court house and the federal
building. The objective was to de
termine the extent of reader in
terest and the effect of illustra
tions and feature treatment on
that interest. No attempt was
made to determine the percentage
of readers attracted to the stories
from various sources.
Grads Carry on
St. Fas Parly
Minus Freshmen
An ironic twist of fate has been
interpreted by the Graduate Club
as "just the luck of the Irish!"
Discovering that the regular
meeting day fell on March 17,
Saint Patrick's Day, the club
council reached for its member
ship list to find an Irishman to
saddle with responsibility for the
party plars.
Looking over the names, the
council members found Hansen,
Johnson, Markkussen. Would that
do? Never. They spied Svoboda,
Dzavik, and Kropotnik. These,
too, were useless. Other names
were Coppley, Stauffer, and
Locke. Where, they wondered,
were the O'Halligans, the Mur
phys, and Fitzgeralds?
The brutal answer was that not
a sin;;le Irish name adorned their
list. The 7:30 St. Patrick Day
party in the Union with its Irish
games, dances, flutes, and tasty
dishes would have to carry on
anyway. This, they announced,
was their Shamrock decision of
the month!

D. Barrymore
To Play 'Joan'
Tonight at LHS
Anderson's Play Makes
Second Showing Here
University play-goers will re
ceive their second chance to view
"Joan of Lorraine," Friday at the
Lincoln high auditorium, 21st and
St.
The Maxwell Anderson drama
was first presented in the Temple,
Oct. 29. 30, 31, and Nov. 1. Fri
day evening, a cast made up of
personnel from the New York
and Boston companies and headed
by Diana Barrymore in the title
role, will give their version of
the play. Curtain time is 8:30.
Ingrid Bergman appeared in
the original Broadway production
of "Joan" which was acclaimed
by both the critics and the public
as one of the outstanding dramas
ever to appear on Broadway.
An interesting factor is that
"Joan" is a play within a play.
The story is centered around a
New York rehearsal of a play
dealing with the life of the titled
heroine. What the audience sees
is made up of rehearsals of the
play-within-a-play and contro
versial discussions regarding the
philosophy that Joan of Lorraine
might have had.
The drama's author, Maxwell
Anderson, is well remembered as
the author of such outstanding
theatrical epics as "Elizabeth the
Queen," which starred the Lunts
In 1930, Mary of Scotland with
Helen Hayes in 1933 and such
contemporary hits as "Saturday's
Children," and "The Eve of St.
Mark."
