CONTEST
'Bar Nothing Ranch' Named
Prize-Winning Play for
Spring Production.
For the second time in as many
years, Kosmet Klub will present as
its annual spring production a
prize winning play by Herb Yenne
of the dramatics department. This
year the organization has selected
what is considered to be his best
work, "The ' --O'Runch," ("Bar
Nothing Krancii.")
Announcement of the selection
of Yenne's manuscript from those
submitted to the Klub for consider
ation was made yesterday by Jack
Thompson, president of the organi
zation. The author of the play will
receive a cash prize of fifty dol
lars.
"The Bar Nothing Ranch" will
use an all male cast, as has been
the custom in the past. The Klub
had seriously considered the possi
bility of a mixed cast, according to
Thompson, but a canvass of stu
dent opinion on the matter favored
an all male cast.
Play Has Possibilities.
"Undoubtedly 'The Bar-O Ranch"
is one of the best plays ever se
lected by Kosmet Klub to be pre
sented in its annual spring show."
Prof. E. F. Schramm, faculty ad
viser to the group and member of
the committee which judged the
plays submitted, declared yester
day. "It contains wonderful enter -tainment
possibilities and a very
general interest."
"The Bar-Nothing Ranch" is tt
nineteenth play to be presented b
Kosmet Klub since 1911. It is als
the fourth play by Herb Yenne t
be produced. Previous plays by
Yenne which the Klub has present
ed are "Jingle Belles," last year.
"The Love Hater," in 1928, and
"The Dream Pirate" in 1927.
Yenne is a former member of Kos
met Klub.
Tryouts for parts in "The Bar
O Ranch" will be held Tuesday
night, Feb. 21, in room 203 of th
Temple building at seven 'oclock.
All men interested in trying out
for parts, should be there promptly
at seven, Thompson said. A maxi
mum of forty-nine parts is call el
for in the cast.

Lee Young Announces Junior
Section to Close When
Spaces Are Filled.
Emphasizing the point that there
are onlv forty-nine spaces left for
pictures in the junior section of the
1933 Cornnusker, Junior jviuor
Lee Young- yesterday explained
that this means an early closing of
that section. "No more tnan tms
number of pictures can possibly be
accommodated." he said, "because
the expense involved in changing
the layout of the junior section is
prohibitive."
This means that the deadline
will be determined by number
rather than date and that the
deadline may be reached within the
next few days, Young pointed out.
Pictures may be taken at either
Hauck's or Townsend's studios
until the remaining forty-nine
spaces are filled, which will auto
matically complete the section.
He urged that juniors who have
not had their pictures taken for
the yoar book do so at once, since
the first forty-nine will be the ones
who get in. "By the way junior
pictures are coming in," he stated,
"indications are that the deadline
will be reached within the next few
days."
