Dramatic Organization Plans
To Give 'Camille' by
Younger Dumas.
Following closely on the final
curtain of 'Torgy." which closed
the most sensational run of the
year Monday, will be "Camille," by
the younger Dumas. This is the
fifth play of the season to be given
by the University Players, campus
dramatic organization.
'Camille" la the story of a Paris
courtesan. Although leads have
not been selected for the play, and
the play itself is still in the process
of trial, the Players are expected
to announce the members of the
cast within a short time.
The story between the lines of
"Camille" has almost a tragic
background. When Dumas wrote
the play he had in mind a cool,
sweet, fragile, phthistic courtesan,
which spirit the Players will prob
ably emphasize. According to his
tory, the woman in Dumas' life
was Alphonsine Pleiss, who did
business under the name of Marie
Duplessis, and who was, at one
time, the talk of Paris. Dumas had

CLASSlECWOF
YEARBOOK ARE OPEN
Juniors and Seniors May
. Ttill Have Photos
Taken.
The junior and senior sections of
the 1933 Cornhusker are still open
for pictures according to Ralph
Spencer, editor. He stated that no
additional pictures, however, will
be accepted for the Greek letter
sections. This announcement fol
lowed the failure of students to
have their pictures taken for the
other sections of the yearbook
after the deadline had been passed
on the fraternity and sorority sec
tions of the book.
"Juniors and seniors who have
not yet had their pictures taken
are asked to do so while the sec
tions are still open," Spencer said.
"The deadline will be announced in
the near future."
Seven hundred and fifty-eight
fraternity pictures have been
taken this year in comparison
with 797 last year. Six hundred
and twenty-two sorority photo
graphs have been turned as to 670
last year. "This is a very good rec
ord, considering the fact that sev
e r a 1 organizations have d i s
banded," Spencer stated.

COMMITTEE PLANS TO

PROM
IR
IN A DIFFERENT WAY
Takes Up Suggestion That
Two Upper Classes Take
Part in Ceremony.
Plans for presenting the Prom
girl in an entirely different way
than that used in previous years
are being made by the Junior
Senior Prom committee. The com
mittee has taken up plans sug
gested by John Gcpson and Ruth
Cherney who are in charge of
presentation, that the junior and
senior classes take part in the
ceremony.
The committee is recommending
that meetings of the two classes
be held in the near future to dis
cuss the part that they will take.
The present plans provide that
only members of these two classes
be on the floor at the time of the
presentation. Definite plans frr
the presentation itself have not yet
been made.
These suggestions follow rather
closely the ceremony used at other
scnools. However, there will be no
grand march. It is thought that by
using this plan, the prom will seem
to be more ot a junior-senior
affair.
