nounced lntenti6n of not opening tho
theatre doors until U'o close of the
Nebraska-Kansas brfskotball game An
enormous crowd witnessed tho bur
lesque, one, In fact, that demonstrated
forcibly that in tho future larger fa
cilities muBt bo secured for tho affair.
Tho program consisted of eight
numbers. Tho first of theso was a
selection by the Mandolin club. The
next was an original ono-act playlet
writtenjjv Dana Van Duson. It wab
proBontedTjy a cast of four. The
Qlee club rendered two selections.

Mooting," by the Palladlan and Union
societies; "Dqc Lyman's Drug Store,''
by the Medics; "Down on tho Santa
Fo," by tho Engineers; "A Farmers'
Institute," by tho agricultural stu
dents, and "A Picture of Rush Week,"
by tho various fraternities. Of theso,
tho engineers' performance was quite
tho beat.
Tho affair was undor the auspices
of the Y. M. C. A. and was In charge
of a commtoo of which Verne Bates
was chairman. ,
Tho Y. W, O. A. of tho School of
Agriculture has elected the following
officers: President, Edna Day; vice

were in part justifiable.
