Students Collect Dogs, Novels
For Hobbies, Survey Reports
What do the college students
tlo with their spare time?
This past week a survey was
made by The Daily Nebraskan
to determine the answer. An
swers ranged from playing soli
taire to collecting political but
tons. It has been said by many peo
ple that a person with a hobby
is a happy individual, with a
well-rounded personality.
The questions asked were as
follows:
1. Do you have a hobby?
The percentage of students
who have hobbies is much high
er than those who do not. The
results showed that 60 percent

at this time or the studio will
pick the proof which they think
is best to appear in the Corn

courage many student's phobia
for year book pictures is the
fact that frequently the Corn
husker serves as a "blind date"
file for new students. This is
one reason it is important to
look your best. Perhaps the pic

spend their leisure hours on
some pet pastime.
2. What is your hobby?
This question received a great
variety of answers. However,
very few of them were dupli
cates. Students Smoke, Loaf
After the survey of last week,
one person said his hobby was
smoking. Another hobby which
seemed to require much time
was the art of loafing.
Some had cultured hobbies,
others mechanical, and still oth
ers had sports hobbies or just
general collecting. One girl col
lected demitasse cups from all
over the United States. Collect
ing records, stamps and photo
graphs prove most popular.
Among the gentlemen, hunting
seems to be very prevalent.
Different forms of dancing
were mentioned such as folk
dancing, square dancing, and
jitterbugging. Music was rated
high also. One person says that
he spends his spare time com
posing songs.
One of the members of the
athletic department said he col
lected souvenirs from his sport
ing events.
Live Dog's
One girl has dogs for her
hobby not glass or china dogs
but real live ones. She has a
collection of 23 at the present
time. At one time she had many
more.
I Individual sports such as ski
ing, bowling, and boating were
also mentioned.
In the mechanical line some
rebuilt motor scooters and auto
motors, and some built model
airplanes.
Two of the most unusual hob
bies are corn collecting and the
collecting of first edition fiction
novels.
Spend Spare Time
3. Do you spend much time
on your hobby?
A large percentage of the .avo
cationists spent a great deal of
their spare time on their hob
bies. Only 29 percent spent lit
tle or no time on them, prob
ably due to the fact that they
are in school and haven't time
for them.
4. How long have you had
your hobby?
The average number of years
the students have had their hob
bies is from 4 to 8 years. Some
of the hobbies are in the embryo
stage, having only been worked
on for about a year or more.
Others have been developed
over a period of 13 years.
5. Do you think your hobby
is expensive?
Seventy-two percent of the
people polled in the survey said
that their hobby was expensive.

Husker Fans
Ever Ready
To Migrate
That old frontier desire to go
some place has been omni-pre-sent
down through the ages. And
it seems that Husker football
fans never have lost, any of their
inherent longing to migrate. .
At least history shows that Ne
braska students have always
turned out in large numbers for
the annual migration (with the
exception of the war years when
travel was impossible) and had
their share of fun.
In 1940, 800 Nebraska fans
boarded the train and migrated to
K.U. Band members cooked up a
jam session, and bases, tenors,
and sopranos joined in to sing
such masterpieces as, "Be Kind
to Your Web-Footed Friends,"
and "Slewfoot Sue." Train tick
ets sold for $6.45 and the trip
was a 24-hour party.
No Trains
After the war, in 1945, students
migrated to the Nebraska-Iowa
State game at Ames, even though
they had to provide their own
transportation. The lack of train
facilities was blamed on "trans
portational difficulties." Rail
roads reported that due to an in
creasing flow of returning serv
icemen, coaches would be inac
cessible for student travel.
In 1946, train tickets for the
migration trip to Lawrence were
$11.50. This also included the
football ticket.
Rail fare sky-rocketed in 1947
to $20.00 when Nebraska fans
migrated to Columbia, Mo., but
this price reserved you a seat at
the football game.
Sloshy Field
The Huskers went back to
Lawrence again to play Kansas in
1948. Train tickets were $13.00,
which included a reserved foot
ball seat.
Last year, Nebraska fans mi
grated to Ames, Iowa, to watch
the Huskers play Iowa State Uni
versity. Husker spirit wasn't
dampened by the rain, but the
band had trouble giving their
halftime performance on a sloshy
field.
This year the traditional mi
gration trip promises to be better
than ever. Pep groups traveling
on the tram will include the
ROTC band, Corn Cobs, Tassels
and the cheerleaders.
Here's your chance to show
some real Husker spirit, so board
the choo-choo for Lawrence!
By Don Ballard
Monday night wasn't sorority
or fraternity night for University
Theatre people. Instead of candy
passing, group-singing, and small
talk, there was just another night
j of rehearsal for Nebarska's ac
tors, actresses, and- crew mem
bers. But somehow, this rehearsal
was different from those of pre
vious yesrs.
The Temple auditorium, the
paint chipping from its ceiling
and walls, was dark. The stage
was pued Mgh with junk which
had been removed from the west
stadium. A deserted prompter's
stool stood in the middle of the
stage. A Speech 9 work-book lay
on a prop-table, as if it's fresh
man owner had hurridly departed
perhaps upon seeing the ghost
of some long-gone "treader of
the boards."
Indeed, any ghost would have
felt right at home as he stood on
the dust-cdvered stage, looking
over the empty pit where the
foot-lights used to be, out into
the auditorium from which many
of the seats have disappeared to
happier surroundings in the hay
loft summer theatre. Even the
curtain, which, in its day, has
parted to reveal so much theatre
magic, is gone. Gone also are the
many spotlights with which
theatre electricians could create
sunlight, fog, or an eery moonlit
darkness; in their wake is a
skimpy row of work-lights. The
old switch-board is a mass of dis
connected wires all of the
switches and dimmers gone.
There are no new initials or
Greek letters carved in the old
wooden stair-case. In short, the
Temple stage and auditorium
have been condemmed by the
state fire marshall.
Insufficient Funds
Contrary to the last two years,
no arrangements have been made
to open the shows at the Ne
braska Theatre , or on the Wes
leyan stage one of the reasons
being "insufficient funds."
In fact, insufficient funds and
no stage are a combination that
have stopped more than one
Broadway producer, but Nebras
kans don't give up that easily.
Mixing that old Cornhusker
spirit with that old theatre spirit
of "the show must go on," Ne
braska's thespians are going to
give a show in spite of all hard
ships and obstructions.
That is why Monday night
found Nebraskans working on a
"stage" which is built into one
end of a classroom. It is the old
"experimental theatre," Room
201 of the Temple building. The
play which Dean Graunke, di
rector, and the theatre kids will
produce is "Antigone," sched
uled to open Oct. 26 and run for
3 days.
Rehearsal
After a few words on the ne
cessity of perfectly learned lines,
promptness at rehearsal, and si
lence back-stage, director
Graunke began his Monday he
hearsal. When the curtains
opened, ' the entire cast was
grouped dramatically about the
stage. Denny Vernon, as the
Greek "Chorus," began to speak
out tms is not a review of the
play!
Time, tide, and the common
cold have respect for no man, in
cluding Mr. Graunke who was
physically "under the weather"
Monday night. Therefore, he left
it to Mr. Dallas Williams to help
Dick Carson and Jan Crilly
achieve just the right romantic
clinch as they impersonated
Antigone and her lover, Haemon.
Meanwhile, Marjorie Miller
sat off-stage, trying to learn to
knit. As the chorus says early in
the play, she must "knit through
out the play until she leaves to
die." Although costumes were not
ready, Jim Tomasek sported a
kingly cape throughout Monday's
rehearsal to help him learn how
to handle it. Tomasek also
learned that actors must suffer
for their art when he submitted
earlier in the day to a crew cut
another requirement for the
Creon role!
Difficulties
More ' common-place difficul
ties also plague the actors;
among them are night classes,
dietary troubles, studying, and
meeting Uncle Sam's require
ments. Wes Jensby once arrived
for rehearsal wearing his NROTC
uniform, changed clothes for his
part as the Greek messenger, and
departed in a third uniform
that of a Naval reservist,
Production personnel also have
their troubles. Christine Phillips,
production manager, uses all
types of frantic signals to get
correct movement on the stage
without interrupting the speak
er's lines.
Prompter Mary Sidner supplies
lines for forgetful cast members
while the entire costume-crew
are spending every spare mo
ment on the trail of white bow
ties, winged collars, white dinner
jackets, tuxedoes, and tails in the
correct sizes for the "Antigone"
Cast members not previously
mentioned are Rosanna Locke,
Marilyn Morgan, . Dutch Meyers,
Dave Sisler, Harold Storm, and
Jerry Young.
New Stage
As for the little stage, it has
been worked over so that any
play given on it will be up to
the University Theatre standards.
Monday night, Mary Sigler, stage
supervisor, was sewing by hand
on the curtain from the old
Temple stage, making new drap
eries for the "Antigone" set. In
another part of the building, Dick
Garretson, light and sound su
pervisor was readying the por
table sound truck and speaker.
Sixteen spotlights had already
been hung. In the scene shop,
supervisor Ruth Hammond and
her crew had completed a set of
semi-circular risers and were
turning out simulated Grecian
columns and marble furniture.
Basic make-up charts for "Anti
gone" characters were already
on file. It becomes increasingly
obvious with each rehearsal that
at Nebraska the show in this
case "Antigone" must and will
go on!
Which Is Wise?
According to the Daily Lass-O,
an ex-GI at the University of
Alabama advertised for a wife
with 15 children. His explanation
was that he was stationed in
Korea after the last war and
didn't want to go back.
Union to Sponsor

activities pool and committees
