These straw vote results may

Opening the current dramatic

The main theme of the play is
the story of Hannibal's march on
Rome. Why Hanuibal did not en

discussion by historians for year.
Robert Emmet Sherwood attempts
to answer this question in "The

is in the midst of a progressive

that the whole state appreciated
the contribution of the proceeds of
the football game at Denver last
year $6,000 by the university to
the relief of our drouth sufferers.
"During tbe week of Nov. 7 we
are to observe American education

better acquainted with our state
university, the plant itself, its
buddings, and its people and ac

hereby proclaim Saturday. Oct. 29,

people of Nebraska and of our
neighboring state of Kansas to ac
cept the hospitality of the city of
Lincoln and tne University of Ne
