"JIMMY VALENTINE"
LAST PRODUCTION
..tii WEEK SUCCESS BEFORE
V""
HOME AUDIENCE THURSDAY
Will Close Work of Dramatic Depart
ment for Year Original
Cast to Play
The presentation of "Alias Jimmy
Valentine," Thursday night will be the
final production In the dramatic de
partment of the school year and will
practically take the place of the senior
play generally put on about this time.
Both leads and many of the cast
are leaving school for good at the
close of the semester or before and
some others may be called to
Fort Snelling the day after the per
formance. With the general shut down
of social affairs It was thought that
his would be one thing that could be
freely patronized as a final farewell
of many to this department of Uni
versity work.
Original Cast to Play
The cast reached an unusual degree
of "polish" during the week it took
the play on the road and will present
probably the least amatuerish produc
tion of the year. With the exception
of Neil Brown, the cast is unchanged
and the extra rehearsals have made
the prospects favorable to a banner
production.
Tickets are on sale at the College
Book Store and on the campus. Al
though the sale has not been rapid to
date the management hopes that the
chance to "let a little sunshine In,"
during a time more or less gloomy in
spite of anything that can be done
will be appreciated enough by the
University public to draw a full house
Jimmy Valentine," as a character
, became famous from this play. Songs
motion pictures and vaudeville adopt
ed the character for specialty work
and have advertised the play from one
end of the country to the other. For
some reason it has not been presented
in Lincoln at least In the past genera
ticn of University students and this
offered the best chance possible for
the University players to take a play
worth while and at the same time one
of the highest professional type.

Robbers obtained nearly $1,000
worth of merchandise, consisting of
fountain pens and Jewelry, from the
University Book Store some time Mon

by b. B. Gilbert Tuesday morning

ued at $600; five dozen graduate pins,
valued at $100; ten to twelve gold
rings and 75 silver rings were taken
The Jewelry taken was of the best In

Most of the articles were taken
from a showcase. Watch fobs and
fraternity ' jewelry were untouched
There was little disorder in the store
and the front door was left locked
It is believed that entrance was
gained through the front door. The
lock Is an old-fashioned one and could
be easily picked. The door is the
only one to the building. There are
two keys, one carried by Mr. Gilbert
and the other by a clerk. The clerk
was out of town Monday night and
his key was found in his room.
Fourteen years ago the same store
suffered loss by fire and burglary.

First Impressions
As Seen By
Living at Fort Snelling for the first
few days has been something like the
yarn penned by somebody about dis
covering an unearthed, ujioccujprfed,
rich city somewhere in Mexico and
having it all to himself.
There are barracks enough at Fort
Snelling for several thousand men;
most of them are empty as this is
written; in a few days every inch
will be taken.
Captain Rotjehn, an engineering of
ficer and an Illinois graduate; Lieu
tenant Frazer of Omaha, a Crelghton
law senior; Dr. Beckwlth of the Grin
ned faculty and myself have been the
four holding down this one building.
Lieutenant Frazer and . Dr. Beck-

summer and tell a great many
anecdotes about it.

Some Tips To Men Who Are Called To
Report At Fort Snelling Camp
Report, upon arrival, at post headquarters with approval and
equipment cards.
Bring only absolutely necessary baggage. One suitcase should
be enough. Bring soap, hand mirror, other toilet articles; two laun
dry bags will be found handy.
A small, folding camp stool wllj help.
Catch St. Paul street cars on the near side of the corner instead
of the far side as in Lincoln. These are good street cars but their
ways are different.
Follow carefully other advice given by Captain Parker, Ser
geants Allen, Sullivan and Wirth, or others who know a great deal
about military life. '

A Husker Recruit
and their football teams, but one can
always tell them that their bunch has
never -come to Lincoln since our
eleven walloped them. At that, the
Minnesotans are a fine set and the
Nebraska men will be very glad to
meet them in camp.
It is hard to realize that the Ne
braska campus is between 400 and 600
miles from here.
When they say "university" here
they mean Minnesota; in Lincoln it
means, of course, Nebraska. Lincoln
beats St. Paul in streets, as St. Paul
was planned for comparatively few
people and has outgrown its plans
Downtown there is scarcely enough
room for the street cars, actually the
main street does not seem wider than
The Daily Nebraskan office. Nothing
is said herein about Minneapqlis, as
the writer has not yet visited that
country but may do so tonight.

EXPECT UNIVERSITY MEN TO GET
FIRST CALL TO CAMP TODAY
FIVE LINCOLN MEN, NONE OF THEM STUDENTS, HAVE
ALREADY RECEIVED ORDERS
Fort Snelling Has Been Prepared For Coming of 2,500 Recruits
Camp Forces Mobilized Calls Will be Scattering
at First
The first call for Nebraska University men to report at the reserve
officers' training camp at Fort Snelling is expected unofficially to
come today. Commandant Parker said yesterday afternoon that five
Lincoln men had received notifications, but that none of them were
University recruits. Reports from the training camp are that the
calls will be scattering at first, for only six hundred a day is to be
the starting rate.
By Richard Cook
(Special to The Daily Nebraskan, via
St. Paul).
Fort Snelling, May 8. With the
calls going out for the chosen ones to
come into the fold at the post, stu
dents at Nebraska University, espe
cially the men who are coming, but
almost as especially the hundreds who
will come "in spirit" if not in person
are perhaps deeply interested in how
the hundreds in training are to live
(luring their three months here.
A big force of cooks is being niobil
ized. There is another force in the
quartermaster's department preparing
uniforms and supplies. There will
be Y. M. C. A. branch offices which
will maintain a bank; and writing
rooms and exchange stores will be
opened where one can buy anything
from a shaving brush to a Dair of
rubber boots.
A University Atmosphere
The university men will be part of
the time in very much of a univer
sity atmosphere, for there will be
stated study periods as regularly as
there will be drills. A heavy sprink
ling of faculty members from various
institutions is expected. Each man in
training will have to pay as much at
tention to his text books as to his
rifle.
600 a Day to Report
Men of Nebraska who have qualified
but have not been ordered to report
for camp as soon as others, need not
be disappointed or impatient. It is
planned to have about 600 men report
every day for 5. few days and the no
tices to come will be sent out accord
ingly.
Candidates who were graded high
est by examining boards will be given
preference. There will be more than
a thousand who qualified but cannot
be called at once on account of the
limited capacity of this camp which
will train about 2,500 men.
Instruction Announced
The course of instruction for each
of the first five weeks has been an
nounced by Col W. H. Sage, command
ing the camp. The schedule contem
plates a ten-hour day, usually five in
the morning, three In the afternoon
and two for study in the evening,
Saturday will be used in bringing up
work that has been delayed by ad
verse weather, and for special things
such as vaccination.
The First Week's Work
Marked attention will be given to
signaling work. The first wek's course
includes: Organization, eight honrs,
evening study, eight hours; practice
marches, three without arms, three;
physical, one and one-half; school of
soldier, three; school of squad, three;
sighting, three; semaphore signaling,
care of equipment, organization, ex

tions for the camp yesterday, a mark
a score below that of the day before.
A continued rush of applicants is ex
pected by Captain S. M. Parker until
he receives orders to suspend exami
nation. Up to date 472 men have been cer
tified as suitable for camp, of whom
it is estimated about three hundred
were University students. Eighty
nine have been disqualified and there
were 81 applications yesterday yet to
be examined.
Two faculty men were among those
disqualified yesterday.
All Gone by May 14
Regarding the calling of men to the
camp, Captain Parker said that he ex
pected all of the first 2,500 who are to
train at Fort Snelling to have been
ordered to report at camp by May 14,
the date set for opening it. Captain
Parker and two of his assistants, Ser
geants Sullivan and Wirth, will also
be ordered to the camp by that time,
it is expected.
