costly production ever offered by the
Players, Mr. Ramsay states.

program of the University Players
for the present season, will be of
fered October 6, 7, and 8, 1927. The
play was written by John Hymer and

Hymer also enjoys the distinction of
being the author of "East Is West.
"Alias the Deacon!' was produced by

finding of one's big or little sister.
At the time when I attended school

Employment
For Students
Found by YM.
Records of the Student Employ
ment Bureau of the University Y. M.
C. A. to date show a total of approx
imately $2,650, that students have
earned as a result of the Bureau's
aid. From 421 student applications
for employment, 99 students have
been aided in securing permanent
part time positions, while 22 have
been placed on odd jobs from time to
time.
The problem of student employ
ment confronts nearly every Lincoln
-business man and University student,
either directly or indirectly. The
business men of Lincoln have assist
ed many university students in ob
taining a college education.
Although a great number of stud
ents are able to secure employment
through the aid of a friend or a rela
tive that resides or has business con
nections in Lincoln, there is a large
number of employers who need stud
ent help, and of students who must
find employment and have no person
al way of fulfilling their desires. It
is the purpose of the Employment
Bureau, which is maintained by the
University, to fulfil both the re
quirements of the business men and
students.
The employment situation at Ne
braska was aided considerably by the
annual drive of the Lions Club,

Your Memory Will Work If You Work
l It, Says Dr. Worcester Over Radio
"Did you e"er stop to think what
a fix you would be in if yon really
had a poor memory?" asked Dr. D.
A. Worcester of Teacher's College,
over the University radio yesterday
afternoon in a talk on "How Is Your
Memory?"
"Suppose, for example, that you
woke up some morning and had real
ly lost your memory. You couldn't
remember how to put on your clothes
or your way about the house or how
to use the silverware at the table.
You couldn't remember sounds vou
heard, and therefore you could not
understand anything said to, you ; nor
the meanings of things seen, so you
could no longer read. ComDlete
failure of memory would reduce one
to the helplessness of a new-born
child, and Jack of memory would pre
vent one from developing bevond
that point.
"But how about those of us who
can remember faces but not hiiiml
who can nevpr renal! figures or
dates? Can 70U remember no names?
Why, yes, you say of coprse I can
remember my own, my family, busi
ness associates, and intimate friends.
Yes, and you can remember Coolidge
and Ktiser Bill and Gene Tunney,
and then Lindberg and Marv Pick-
ford and anybody else in whom you
have taken a particular interest. If
