nationwide drive to collect food
for Europe and Asia. Twenty
two trains will leave from various
ports in the next six weeks.

By Frank Jacobs
Tragedy with a capital "T"
cast it's gloomy shadow over the
stage of the University Theatre
Wednesday evening in the guise
of Eugene O'Neill's morbid saga
of crumpled lives, "Beyond the
Horizon."
Typically O'Neill in fashion,
the unhappy rural drama an un
funny play. Bitter climaxes con
sistently followed each other
through use of almost every con
ceivable medium.
Capable in Main Lead
Handling the main lead in,
(to overwork the adjective) cap
able fashion, Eddie McCuIlough
was for the most part successful
in capturing the role of the
pseudo-idealist, Robert Mayo. As
a man waiting out his life for
happiness, McCuIlough had the
unenviable job of displaying
practically every type of emo
tion. Except for the youthful
moments at the play's beginning,
his performance is satisfying.
Just the opposite, however,
labeled Jane MacCuaig's enacting
of the tragedy's villainess, Ruth
Atkins. Miss Mac Cuaig was su
preme in portraying the happy
teen-age girl but fell down dur
ing the latter moments of the
paly. She seemed to subsitute too
much of an external tenseness for
the combined physical and mental
havoc needed in the makeup of a
tired, beaten women.
Commands Audience
As Robert's brother, Andy,
Jack Norman had a knack of
commanding the audience's atten
tion whenever he was onstage.
Norman's performance showed a
very clear transition between the
too-young practical farmer's son
of the opening scenes and the still
practical but mature man of the
world in the later acts. Some of
his furor, however, seemed forced.
Outstanding supporting role was
that of Captain Dick, handled by
Clare Denton. His sprightly per
formance was a tonic. Janice
Crilly also had her lines as Mrs.
Atkins down to perfection. As
the boys' mother, Elaine Lam
phear, although definitely the
mother-type, lacked rieedeu vocal
expression. The father, Don
Nicholls did an excellent job as
an embittered bearded farmer.
The production, as a whole, was
extremely realistic and a good re
sult of a difficult undertaking.
The background music, however,
seemed a bit superfluous.
Performances are scheduled for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings.
Queen for One
Night to Reign
At Tiger Rally
Do you have the pep? Do you
have the spirit? Want to be
Queen for a Night? Friday night
is your grand opportunity, says
Bill Mickle, yell king.
The queen in question will
reign at the pre-Mizzou-game
rally Friday night. The prime
qualification is true good old
Husker spirit! The only other re
quirements are that she be of sin-
UN, 6A'-Bomb Discussion
Ends Three-Day Program

energy stories to more than 50
Nebraska communities, over 100
representatives returned home late
Wednesday from the Nebraska
community leaders' school held on

cluded late in the afternoon with

in planning the school.

opened with a session at which
George L. Clasheen, Washington,
D. C, assistant director of the U. S.
gle status and that she have that
"personality plus." There is no
minimum average requirement.
Anyone may nominate or be
nominated. The rally queen will
be selected by joint action of the
rally committee and a faculty
senate committee from the list
of nominees submitted by stu
dent!. All contestants' names must be
mailed to the Corn Cob office,
Room 307 of the Union, and post
marked not later than midnight
Thursday night.
Nebraskan Staff Challenges
Atomic Energy Commission's edu
cational services, stressed that
adult groups must help schools
prepare people for the impact of
the atomic age.
He urged that principles of
atomic energy not be dismissed as
too complicated to understand.
"You don't have to be an automo
tive engineer to drive a car, and
you don't have to be a nuclear
physicist to appreciate the need
for wise use of atomic energy," he
said.
Morse Salisbury, director of
public and technical information
for the U. S. Atomic Energy com
mission spoke to some 200 per
sons attending a Tuesday evening
session, emphasizing that, as most
Americans know, atomic energy
can be used forxgood or evil, but
most Americans don't realize that
they are in a powerful position to
influence the decision.
Salisbury stated that Nebraska's
community and educational lead
ership is ahead of a nationwide
movement to learn the facts about
atomic energy and its uses and
he urged Nebraska to keep up its
interest.

following conditions prevailing:

(The axe is traditionally ex

It was last seen in the Cornhusker
office. When asked of the where
abouts of the axe, a member of
the Cornhusker staff claimed that
The Daily Nebraskan staff had
stolen the priceless possession. In
reply. The Daily Nebraskan staff
can only state that no member of
its staff would ever sink to such
a low act.)
History of the series between
the two powerhouses is not known
for sure. But, one thing that is
certain is that the present Daily
Nebraskan staff is an odds-on fa
vorite to walk off with a victory.
The exact date for the encoun
ter and place of battle has not yet
been determined. When these facts
are known they will be published
in The Daily Nebraskan.
