OF
Fraternity and Sorority
Divisions of Yearbook
To Be Finished.
Fraternity and sorority sections
of the 1933 Cornhusker will be
closed next Saturday, Feb. 11, at
both Hauck's and Townsend's stu
dios, Ralph Spencer, editor of the
yearbook announced Monday.
He advised all fraternities and
sororities to insist that their mem
bers have pictures taken for their
section in the annual by Saturday.
In the majority of houses there is
a fine which usualy amounts to
the price of having them taken for
members and pledges who do not
have their pictures in the Corn
husker. Spencer stated that at the pres
ent time 677 pictures have been
taken for the fraternity section
and 591 for the sorority section.
"These figures," he said, "repre
sent a great majority of the Greek
letter students but there are still
a few students who wait until the
last minute. I want to impress
upon them that pictures will not
be accepted after Saturday."

Forty-Eight Persons Take
Part in Portraying the
Life of Negro.
Playing to a fairly large audi
ence, the University Players gave
their fourth drama of the year,
"Peggy," by DuBose Hayward on
Monday night. The play was di
rected by Miss H. Alice Howell.
A well balanced performance,
"Porgy" showed many spots of es
pecial dramatic importance, while
comedy prevailed in many other
scenes. The entire cast of twenty
four, plus a chorus of twenty-four
and seven children all did good
work, while the singing of the
chorus aided by solos by Dorothy
Dean, Evelyn Johnson and William
Molden gave the whole production
an element of life that few shows
express.
Liltiard Does Good Work.
W. Zolley Lerner did his usual
fine work, approaching altho not
equalling his performance last year
in Emperor Jones. Francis Brandt
gave a characterization better than
he has ever done before, while
Dorothy Zoellner played her role to
the fullest. Exceptionally fine work
was done by J. R. Lilliard. in his
double role of Sportin' Life and
Lawyer Frazier. Armand Hunter
gave a good character role, while
Al Tiffany and Nora Osborne also
did good work.
"Porgy" is the story of the ne
