WYER WORLD FORUM
SPEAKER WEDNESDAY
Ohio Engineer to Discuss
Problems of Fuel, Power
And Transportation.
Samuel S. Wyer, independent
Ohio consulting engineer who has
specialized in the economic aspects
of the inter-related fuel, power and
transportation problems, will speak
at the initial World Forum of the
year which will be held Wednesday
noon, November 14 in the Grand
Hotel. The meeting is under the
auspices of the Y. M. and Y. W.
Beginning promptly at 12 o'clock,
the luncheon, to which all students
are invited, will be dismissed in
time for 1 o'clock classes accord
ing to Beth Schmid and Paul Eas
terbrook, co-chairmen for the af
fair. Tickets will be sold at the
Y. W. and Y. M.
Mr. Wyer, who has developed a
philosophy which maintains the
sole justification of any social Ol
der must be the welfare of human
beings, was chief of the natural
gas conservation activities of the
government during the war and
has written many reports on pub
lic utility and economic problems.
For over two years Mr. Wyer
has been giving much of his time
to an educational program directed
at developing a fact-facing mind
toward today'" rnpidly changing
social order. He believes that fact
finding and fact-understanding
should replace our emotional atti
tudes, and that capital must get
less and the workers more of the
nation's income so that the masses
may have the buying power. He
advocates curbing the concentra
tion of wealth in order to provide
economic security for the masses
rather than economic power for
the favored few.

Bobbie Ager Heads Cast o
Brilliant Drama by
Leooold Atlas.
With Bobbie Ager, 13 year old
Lincoln youngster cast in the lead'
ing role, the University Players
will open in "Wednesday's Child,
their next production, in the Tem
ple Theater on Nov. 19.
This brilliant drama, which deals
with the problem of a child's life
almost wrecked by divorce in the
family, was written by Leopold
Atlas and held New York audi
ences spellbound for almost one
year. The play first opened in the
Longacre Theater in New York on
Jan. 15, 1934 and played for 221
performances.
The New York production raised
Frank Thomas, jr., 12 year old lad
of the Broadway show to (stardom,
and he recently completed playing
the same role in the movie version
of the show, which has just been
released. Thomas is now back in
New York playing an important
role in one of the season's out
standing shows.
Young Ager, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lee Ager of Lincoln, will por
tray the same part played by
Thomas. This is the role of Bobby
Phillip.
Irving Hill and Blanche Carr,
both of Lincoln have been assigned
the other leading roles in the pro
duction. Hill, who will be remem
bered for his brilliant character!
zations in last year's shows, no
tably as the young communist in
"Counsellor-at-Law," will pla- the
part of Ray Phillips. Blanche Carr,
also a star of the Players 'ast
year, will take the part of Kath-
ryn Phillips.
The show has twelve characters
in it, including six local Lincoln
youngsters. In addition to Bobbie
Ager, the local children will be
Norman Yule, Jimmie Yule. Ralph
Batty, John Carr and Donald Al-
bin.
Melvin Fielder and Dwight Per
kins, both of whom are favorites
with local theater goers, will also
have roles in this show, as will
Jack Epstein, who distinguished
himself in "Dinner at Eight," pro
duced by the Players last season.
Others in the show are Era
Lown, Arthur Bailey, Roy Squires,
Delford B rummer. Irene Barry,
Elsa Swift and Florence Smeerin.

attention to the fact that a large
per cent of the schools of Nebras
ka increased the salaries of their
teachers this year, besides Tdrling
new courses or old ones which Lad
been dropped. Increases seem to
vary from S to 15 per cent. Home
economics, music, manual train
ing, and commercial arts suffered
most during the period of retrench
ment and showed the greatest re
placement gain.
"The government program of
white collar relief has been of In
estimable value to the members of
the teaching profession," says the
report. "In Nebraska this took
the form of additional teachers
where local funds were inade
quate; study centers, through
which correspondence study could
be carried on; nursery schools for
underprivileged children; and
adult education programs.
Calls for teachers came to the
department from 65 Nebraska
counties and from 18 other states.

An increase of $6o'2,020,

At present the university is op

necessary heavy cuts in salaries

fact that continued operation un

Annual Fall Elections Will
Settle Number Questions
Declares Observer.
By the Observer.
Students are again approaching
their annual fall feast of politics
and all the trimmings with the
usual great amount of interest, ac
cording to all indications. Although
lists of candidates as announced
Saturday were by no means crowd
ed so as to create interest there are
several things to be settled at this
election.
In the first place Mortar Boards
are awaiting rather anxiously the
outcome of the election to see how
well their "brain child" fared. Will
it eliminate alliances, deals, and
all other examples of dirty and
petty politics that have been seen
in the past in women's politics or
will the idea be pretty much of a
flop. At the present time, despite
the certain number of rumors that
are bound to be in circulation, it
looks as if the plan is working it
self out satisfactorily.
Filings for Honorary Colonel and
Nebraska Sweetheart do not seem
to run true to old time form ex
cept the fact that no barb woman
is on the lists of candidates for
the two offices. Barb leaders were
rather perturbed over that fact on
Saturday afternoon, but it is said
that a satisfactory answer can be
given. At the same time old alli
ances among the women's groups
seems to have been broken up.
But as many preceding writers
have said women's politics and
women are too uncertain to make
any predictions, and r-nly the final
count of ballots will tell the story.
Switching over to men s politics.
a warm battle is seen in the offing
inasmuch fairly authentic rumor
has it that this election will he a
conclusive test of the strength of
the two factions, which were
formed in last fall's political up
heaval. The usual battle of words has
been going on at a merry pace for
the past week, with purloining of
platforms as one of the bones of
contention about which to center
their arguments. Intensive cam
paigns will probably start Sunday
or Monday with the usual rallies
and ballybooing on the list of ac
tivities. Indications that one of the lar
gest votes cast at a fall election
may result Tuesday were seen, as
barbs went into the campaign In 8
big way to bring out their full vot
ing strength, which indeed would
make a new record for the fall
election. j

Veritable Sieve.
By ARNOLD LEVINE.
A mighty overpowering machine
the University of Pittsburgh's of
fense clawed deeply with all its
Pantheric fury into Nebraska's
Cornhuskers Saturday, left over
35,000 Nebraska fans gasping and
heart worn in its wake, and trun
dled Eastward with an unbeliev
able 25 to 6 victory under its belt.
While it Is doubtful if any of
the crowd that scaled the sloping
sides of Memorial Stadium ex
pected a Nebraska victory, few
were prepared for the shock Jock
Sutherlands' rampant Panthers
handed out. They rocked the Scar
let and Cream banner as it has
never before been even threatened
in Memorial Stadium ; they
snapped the successive winning
streak after it had attained a rec
ord of four years with not one de
feat at home; and they outplayed
and outclassed the Huskers as even
the most pessimistic had never
dreamed possible.
Add to this the fact that 25 to 6
score was the worst defeat ever
suffered by the Huskers in Memor
ial Stadium, and the sixth on the
home turf since the cement walls
were finished, and you have an ap
proximate idea of what that score
meant to the Nebraska team, stu
dent body, and fans throughout
the state.
Yes, few, if any, were expecting
the Scarlet and Cream gridsters to
upset the mighty invaders, but
none were prepared to meet the ef
ficient, business-like manner in
which the Sutherland crew preced
ed to chalk up touchdowns.. Their,
precise, proficient movements, the
products of years of playing to
gether and hours of long, hard toil,
swept the Huskers off their feet.
Not that the Nebraska fans were
fooled they knew that Pitt wa
bringing Westward a team of
champs, knew that the Panthers
were rated as one of the best ever.
But Nebraska has had a notorious
reputation of being a bit too tough
for most of their opposition at
home. Three scoreless ties attest
to that. So there was a spark of
hope in the Nebraska breasts, a
mute devotion to the cause of the
Cornhusker. This year was to
swing the balance one way or the
other. Those scoreless ties couldn't
keep up forever, someone had to
win!
Nebraska realized that Pitts
burgh had a splendid combination
of gridsters, veterans all they
were classed as one of the out
standing teams of the nation. But
but maybe Nebraska would be
able to hold them. Maybe Lloyd
Cardwell and Frank Meier and
Sam Francis could do something to
keep that record clear, to raise the
Stadium walls, temporary bleach
ers, and standing room to watch
the struggle, hoping against hope
for Nebraska.
Those 05.000 were tremendously
disappointed. The Nebraska team,
Nebraska student body was dis
appointed. Pittsburpb's Panthers
