Original Tunes of Students

ARRANGED BY JUNGBLUTH
Members of Organization
Say Music Best in
Several Years.
Ten original songs will be
featured by Eddie Jungbluth
and his orchestra in the Kosmct
Khib's annual spring show,
"The Campus Cop" this year,
Pale Tavlor, Klub member in
charge of music for the show, said
(Win nftprnnnn. All tunes are
ypairi'iu - t
being arranged by the orchestra.
Five students contributed the ten
tunes to be used in the show. They
are being used now in connection
with the rehearsals of the male and
pony choruses and some will be
sung by the leads in the show. The
lyrics as well as the tunes were
written by the students.
Freshman Writes Two Tunes.
Marjorie Souders, Kappa Kappa
Gamma freshman from Auburn,
submitted two tunes which were
accepted for the show. The names
of her songs are "The Cop" and
Separation." Russell Whittaker,
Sigma Chi from McCook and for
mer member of Kosmet Klub, sub
mitted three tunes which will be
used.
Whittaker has written a number
of songs which have been used in
previous Kosmet Klub musical
comedies. The songs to be used
this vear are entitled "O Fool Was
I," "Rhythm," and "Take My Pin."
John O'Neil and Chauncey Bar
ucj. co-authors of the play which
won second place in the contest
sponsored by the Klub for the man
script for the spring show, have
collaborated on two tunes to be
used in the show. The names of
their songs are "Watching My Life
Go By." and "The Street Car Girl."
Writes Tango.
The other student to submit
three songs is Portia Boynton, stu
dent in the dramatics department.
Miss Boynton submitted a tango
entitled "When Love Is Forgot
ten.'" and two songs in fox trot
tempo entitled "I'm Out For That
Man" and "It's Moonlight So
What?"
Members of the Klub said that
the music for this year's produc
tion would probably be the best
that a spring show has had in some
time, yuite a number of tunes
were submitted but were unsuit
able for use in the show, they
Jtated.

living on the farm."

FORTY MILE MM)
Whipped by a forty mile an hour
wind, thick clouds of dust have
swirled over Lincoln since Tuesday
night, with no sign of abatement
or rain Major Beaty, flying an
army biplane, swooped low over
the campus about one-thirty in the
afternoon, apparently searching
for a place to land. Beacons at the
Lindbergh municipal field and the
Union airport failed to give assist
ance, and the plane disappeared
toward Omaha, where officials
said it met the same difficulty.
Dust and grime spread in a
thick layer over the campus in the
afternoon, penetrating into build
ings and classrooms. Extended or
der drill in outdoor military sci
ence classes was made possible by
hand signals, as verbal commands
could not be heard.
Starting in the southwest in the
morning, the wind shifted to the
northwest, then due north during
the day, reaching a velocity of
thirty-seven miles per hour early
in the afternoon. After a high sea
sonal temperature of eighty-five
degrees Tuesday afternoon, a low
of forty-seven degrees was reach
ed Wednesday morning.

Uzzell Acclaims Professor's
Short Story One of
Best in 1933.
LAUDS PRAIRIE SCHOONER
Dr. L. C. Wimberly, professor of
English at the university and well
known writer of short stories, has
been honored for one of his recent
writings, "Censored." This story,
printed first in the May. 1933, issue
of the American Mercury maga
zine, is one of twenty stories chosen
by Thomas H. Uzzell and reprinted
in his current anthology. "Short
Story Hits, 1933."
Chosen out of thousands of stor
ies, the twenty included are con
sidered by Mr'. Uzzell most likely
to have entertainment value to an
intelligent and cultivated group of
readers. "Censored." states the
compiler, "is easily the most im
pressive objective short narrative
printed during the year. It is
written with high skill." Mr. Uz
zell contends that the outstanding
technical characteristic of the lit
erary short story of today is its
straining toward objectivity.
A brief biography of Dr. Wim
berly appears in the book, and
praise for "Prairie Schooner," the
literary magazine edited on the
Nebraska campus by Dr. Wim
berly. Dedicating his volume to
the '"little magazines," Mr. Uzzell
states that the "Schooner" is one
of the two little magazines con
taining "some of the most impres
sive exhibits of new writers ap
pearing today."

FINISHING POINT SYSTEM
Innocents society continued to
bear out general approval of the
plan announced Tuesday night.
Few dissenting voices were
heard regarding the revisionary
measures, although many of those
interviewed declared that ultimate
success and merits of the plan lay
in the definite carrying out of
points stressed in Tuesday's an
nouncement, especially the activity
point system phase.
Professor E. F. Schramm, fac
ulty advisor to the Innocents, de
clared, "The revision is a mighty
good thing for all concerned. I be
ileve it was a necessary move and
will work out to the advantage of
men students and the university in
general.
Improve Activities.
Byron Colliding, president of the
present Innocents society, said,
'Reorganization of the Innocents
along the lines announced Tuesday
will, I believe, attract more stu
dents into the field of activities.
The step is one which has been
needed for several years probably,
and with further effort in the
same direction, I am sure a
healthy condition in mpn's activi
ties will result.
