to Increase for Year,
Becords Show.
Figures from the student health
report released by Dean Lyman's
office show that 10,544 university
students received medical treat
ment from university doctors dur
ing the academic year. 1934-35.
Hospital days spent In the uni
versity infirmary likewise show a
gain of 552 over the year before
but records reveal that the meas
les and chickenpox epidemic took
heavy toll during a part of the
year. A total of 539 employes were
examined the past year as com
pared to sixty-five the year before.
Increase is due to the new law
wbicb requires every school em
ploye to take a health examina
tion. Children's nursery school health
record a; the agricultural college
till maintains its high average.
For the two years that Dr. Ruth
Warner, health doctor on the ag
ricultural college campus, has been
in charge of examining these stu
dents between the ages of 2 and 5,
no epidemic has made its appear
ance. A total of 2.327 youngsters
were examined during the year

Depression Not Last.
Haynes declared this depression

last war was a war that will end
wars.
"Depression periods are bound to

stated. "Inasmuch as public works

Children's Play
Delightful to
Young Audience
By Rob Laurens.
Choosing a bit of delightful non
sense, the Lincoln Children's
theater, under the sponsorship of
me university flayers, made its
Initial appearance of the season
with "The Amazing Adventures of
Wiffles and Felisa," on Saturday,
Nov. 2, in the Temple theater. The
afternoon perform" ace drew a
good house of highly demonstra
tive children, who showed no hesi
tation in expressing their feelings,
whether they be favorable or unfavorable.
The play deals with the adven
tures of Wiffles, the dog, and Fe
lisa. the cat, on the Island of Choc
olate Bars. The island, and the
castle of the king and queen, are
peopled with pirates, ghosts,
thieves and the domestic staff of
the monarch of Chocolate-Bar-Land.
With these fierce and terror
inspiring characters. Wiffles and
Felisa precipitated themselves
from one fearsome situation into
another with a rapidity that left
the children in the audience
screaming and shouting with sym- I
pathy.
Outstanding Work.
It is impossible to eo into the
performances of the several char
acters for obvious reasons, but in
passing, mention must be made of
the work of Marjorie Thomas and
Jean Swift, as Wiffles and Felisa.
There was. at times, a freedom
and spontaneity In their charac
ters that could well be emulated
by people supposedly far above
their sphere. General mention,
also, must be made of the ghosts
who, as s whole, did not take un
due advantage of the significance
natural to their position. The
greatest departure from this was
extremely obvious, and resulted in
too great s reaction from tb
children.
Resembled Pandemonium.
From the standpoint of the
handling of the production a dif
ferent picture presents itself.
There were times when the scene
presented one of pandemonium

ter. The antics of the characlCis,

completely unrecognizable that it's
doubtful if they knew their own
