Alice Howell, director of the players. Written by Kacnei uromers, prominent author, "As Husbands Cin" is a romnarativelv new Dlav. It first appeared on the New York stage in 1931, wnere aner a long mn in thp John Golden theater, it was reviewed by New York critics as being an exceptionally success ful play. Contrast Minds, The plav concerns the home comine- of two old ladies from Dubuque after a summer vacation in Paris, where they not only fell in love with the city itself but two Parisian eierolos as well. When they return to the United States the Eisrolos come witn mem, ana the audience is treated to a view of European and American minds. According to Mark Van Doren, who reviewed the play in The Nation, "The new comedy by kachel Crothers, 'As Husbands Go' will undoubtedly have the suc cess Miss Crothers usually has. It is full of clever lines, nice people, clear sentiment, and an intelligent perception." Francis Fergusson of the Book man says "Miss Crothers' new play is both sane and realistic. She tells the familiar tale of American women who are bored with the men they know at home and go to Europe in search of excitement and understanding." The cast for the new play has not been announced as yet, ac cording to Miss Howell but will probably be next week. According to Charles Hoff, business manager of the Players, a few good seats are still available for each night.

No doubt it is implied that money is waiting in barrels for the fellow who shakes the right hands or finds a good drag. It looks like attending col lege is good practice for the big struggle after graduation. A snappy new word was coined by Miss Zoretskie to take care of the political phase and the Mectiun to offices. She says there is a grift In the jobs In a large numb-r of cases, referring to the proceeds which "just escape being graft but are far from being gifts.'

Once Nebraska That Way. As a matter of fact there was a time on the University of Ne braska campus when student ac tivities were almost as lucrative for those who held down the com manding positions as the spectacu lar feature article asserts they still are at other institutions. Tales of tho large "bonuses" which business managers of the Daily Nebraskan and Cornhusker pocketed at the end of the year are not entirely imaginative. And not so long ago the senior president was able to make a handsome profit from senior invitations. But this is no longer the case, for the student finances are under the control and watchful eye of the Student Activities office, and what with the close checking of ac counts, grafting is impossible if anything is.
