Community Chest Symbolizes
American Democracy at Work
By Fritz Simpson
A man once said, "I complained
about my shoes until I saw a man
who had no feet." The Commu
nity Chest, affording a means to
do something for the man who
needs a helping hand, is the very
symbol of this philosophy.
Community Chest is the sane,
practical and intelligent solution
to the multiple needs of the so
cial welfare field today.
Why Should I Give?

By Lee Harris
The democratic controlled con
gress swung into action following
the president's "State of the
Union" message in an attempt to
put over a quick follow-through
of his proposed tax-welfare-labor
program.
Democratic leaders hoped to
have many of the president's pro
posals in their final forms by the
time he takes the oath for a full
four-year term on Jan. 20.
While GOP leaders were1 busy
blasting Truman's program and
labeling it "socialism' it was gen
erally conceded that most of his
proposals would be in for less
opposition than was expected
would lind quick passage.
LOSSES HEAVY
The blizzard that has tied up
Nebraskans in the western part
of the state for the past several
days has subsided, but many thou

question, "Why should I give to
the Chest?" Well, why should we
care whether a little, homeless
orphan is guaranteed 12 months;
of food ai.d clothing, shelter and ;
doctor's care9
Why should we care whether j
helpless, homeless old people have j
a place to eat and a comfortable i
i place to sleep? Why should we
caie whether or not America has
a year-round training program in
good citizenship, character and
Americanism for our vouth?
What Can I Give?
Obviously, the question is not.
"Why should I give?" It should
be. "What is my share, what ean
I give?-'
Yes, the Community Chest is
an enterprise bringing together
Catholic, Jew and Protestant,
white and colored, the well-
known and the little-known in

i manity of America.
It is the symbol of good busi
ness in the financing of the vol

welfare work.

loss of live stock was expected
to be heavy.
As yet the losses have not been
reported as farmers and ranchers
have not had the chance to get
any kind of estimation.
PETERSON TAKES OATH
Gov. Val Peterson was admin
istered the oath of office by As
sociate Justice Edward F. Carter.
Peterson was silent later when
questioned about the subject of
taxation. He re-advocated his be
lief that there should be more
legislation to redistrict the school
system in the state.
Iowa Demands Payment
According to Iowa State college
officials, the federal government
owes that institution nearly $920,
000. President C. E. Fnley says
that the deficit has arisen since
the government ceased payments
for veterans' educational costs at
the end of last summer.

"TO BE OR NOT TO BE?" The question has been answered and
the Temple Theater is boarded up. The crepe hanging from the
auditorium doors could indeed rightly be termed "Crepes of Wrath"
if the feeling of theater stalwarts are taken in account. Eddie Mc
Collough and Dona Jean Saum bid the theater a final farewell.
Curtain!
Condemned Temple

The creakinc floorboards, plas-1 Several times each season, the
ter-cracked walls and deephued
curtains of the Temple Theater,
altho very unsafe and very in
flammable, still afford the cam
pus a notable share oi memories.
In the past decade or so, the
condemned auditorium has seen
just about a little of everything
that is dramatic. Smash hits
clothespin turkeys, quite a his
tory is connected with the boarded
up theater.
Varied Drama Produced
It is difficult to name a theater
that has produced a more varied
array of the world's dramatic of-
ferings. To name a very few of
them: "You Can't Take It with
You," "High Tor," "The Road to
Rome," "Tovarich," "Romeo and
Juliet," "Our Town," "Cyrano de
Bergerac," "Winterset, ' "Yellow
Jack," "The Man Who Came to
Dinner," and the list would prac-
tically fill the rest oLthe paper.
In 1932, the University Theater,
on the basis of its protessional
calibre of work, won rights to
stage Broadway hits the minute
they closed their runs. This en
abled the players to produce such
plays as Thornton Wilder's "Our
Town" and Dubose Heyward's
"Porgy," (dramatic forerunner of
"Porgy and Bess") while the suc
cess of the dramas was still on
the lips of the public.
"What a Life" Staged
This grant from Broadway per
mitted the University Theater to
be the firrst amateur theatrical
group to stage "What a Life," the
comedy that inspired the Henry
Aldrich radio series.

Play to Go on Road
Before the theatre's banning, it
had been planned to send one of
this season's plays on the read.
The last production to travel was
Maxwell Anderson's "Joan of
Lorraine," last year.
On the University Theater's
plans for this year, Robert Black,
director of "Othello," B. C. (be
fore closing) commented that the
theater is contemplating the use
j of either a campus stage or a
! downtown theater. "We will not
know anything definite for a few
days," commented director Black.
So hold onto those tkkets. You
