Roles of Spanish King, Queen
Are Assigned to Each,
Respectively.
CHORUS CHOSEN SOON
Musical Numbers in Annual
Show to Be Broadcast
Over KFAB.
Portraying the King of Spain
ami the Queen of Spain in the
Kosmet Klub's 1935 spring mu
sical, "Kiss Columbo," will be
Irving Hill and Vance Lein
inger, respectively, according to
an announcement made Tuesday
by George Holyoke, the Klub'8
vice-president.
Hill, who is a junior in the col
lege of Arts and Sciences, in play
ing the role of the king, will por
tray a half-witted person. The
king in his foppishness and child
ishness has a great desire to be
the best dressed king in Europe.
In order to carry out this desire,
he proceeds to cut out paper
dresses for himself. The portrayal,
in its silly humor is bound to prove
amusing to those who attend the
season's musical.
In the role of the Spanish queen,
Leininger literally runs the coun
try, the king being too interested
in his clothes to pay any attention
to the affairs of government. Ac
cording to the off repeated story,
the queen proceeds to pawn her
jewels in order to aid Columbus,
with whom she becomes greatly
enamored.
Final Chorus Chosen Soon.
"Altho one dance for the revue
is now completed, the final chorus
will not be chosen until next
week," according to Holyoke. "The
music is going exceedingly well so
far and we really have many ex
cellent voices in the principal parts
this year," he continued.
Plans have been made to broad
cast over KFAB starting next
week most of the numbers in the
show, which is composed of twelve
tunes.
Art Bailey and Duncan Sowles
have been cast in two of the lead
ing roles, according to a recent an
nouncement Bailey will take the
part of "Peters," impersonating a
pretty secretary to the royal pair
of Spain. The reporter, "Andy."
who bothers everyone in the story
in his search for news, will be
played by Sowles.
Joe Iverson, casting director,
stated that selections were made
from many candidates and that
the result will undoubtedly be ex
ceptionally fine
The show began its third week
of practice Monday, and regular
rehearsals will continue until the
performance April 1 thru April 6.
There are to be four chorus num
bers this year, one of which calls
for tap dancing.

Requirements for Winners

Dean.
The (ailbert M. Hitchcock
$1,000 scholarship to the Co
lumbia university school of
journalism, which is offered ex
clusively to students of Nebras
ka universities and colleges, will
be awarded this year for the sec
ond time to an outstanding stu
dent. However, the school will
open next September exclusively
as a graduate school, according to
word reecntly received from W. A.
Ackerman, dean of the depart
ment, and the winner of the
award this time will be among
only students who have received
degrees. Last year, Mrs. Hitch
cock, the widow of the former
United States senator and pub
lisher of the Omaha World-Herald,
founded the scholarship and it was
awarded to William McGaffin, who
graduated from Nebraska univer
sity in 1932.
Admission to Columbia under
the new plan can be obtained only
by those persons between 20 and
30 years of age who hold degrees
from a recognized university, and
entrance examinations are re
quired of everyone. Three funda
mental courses of study reporting
and copy editing: editorial writing,
policies and research; and research
in publishing policies will be of
fered, and students will have to
add certain elected broadening
courses from the undergraduate
school.
In outlining the objective of the
newly adopted change, the an
nouncement which Dean Acker
man sent out stated: "The transi
tion from an undergraduate school
to a graduate school has been
under way since February, 1932.
It is a natural and logical advance
based upon the school's experience
from 1912 to 1934 and it meets
the educational needs and the re
quirements of the profession of
journalism in a democracy both in
its domestic and foreign reln
tions." Numerous professional courses,
directly related to the three basic
courses, will be taught by individ
ual members of the faculty and
