"Oh, look at the crowd that's here at the basketball game al ready, George. C'mon, let's go sit way up on the top row in the stands so we can lean against something besides other people's knees. By the way, George, why do they call them "stands'' when everybody sits down in them?" "I dunno what the word stands for." "This is nice up here oh, ex cuse me, did I step on your toe?" "No, just my shoe, sister." "George, help my coat off, will you? Thanks. Oh, look. There's the same funny man with the lit tle whistle and the fat stomach. It's a good thing for him, those stripes run up and down his shirt rather than around, isn't it?" "I guess so. Pay attention to the game now. It's about to start and these Sooner sophomores are pretty speedy." Attention, Please. "The very idea. I always pay attention. Two points already, George? Who made it?" "I told you to pay " "Watch the game, George, and don't talk so much. Whee, there goes another one! Nebraska's ure running the red lights to night, aren't they, George?" "Ha-ha." "Goodness, that gun seared me. Is that the half? If it is, then we've just seen the half of it, have n't we? Oh, don't be so solemn. You'd laugh yourself sick if any body else said anything clever like that. Who are all those boys out there on the floor in those white jackets?" Glee Club. Oh, Joy! "The Glee club, hon." "Why don't you belong?" "Listen, I belong to so many clubs now I got club-feet." "Wasn't that a good song? Sort of a parody on Hitler, wasn't it, though? "Now whaddya mean a parody on Hitler?" "Thaf was 'Hcil Varsity,' I thought. Now what's that boy go ' ing to do?" "Play a trumpet solo." "How low?" "Oh, about so low." "Nervous, isn't he, George?

I've been watching him for the . past 30 seconds. It looks easy. Let me catch It, when he throws It up. Ouch!" "You should have caught It before It hit your note, not aft- rwards." "What's Nebraska taking time it for? Is there something on floor? Who's that boy wiping up with a towel?" "That's Harris Andrews. He'll r.rer hear the last of that washer wenan duty, either." "There!

Jurgens and his orchestra arc coming direct from a long and successful engage ment at the famous Aragon ball room in Chicago, where his music was broadcast regularly over a coast-to-coa.st network of the Mu tual Broadcasting system.

Waldemnr Mueller has been cast in the lending role of "High Tor," Maxwell Anderson's new comedy which the University Players will produce for their February offering, opening Mon day night at the Temple theater and showing thru Saturday. Mr. Mueller will star as Van Van Doi n. "High Tor" is a blend of fantasy and realism by the same leading playwright that did "Wintcrset," "Wingless Victory," and "Eliza beth the Queen." The show opened Inst year on Broadway with Burgess Meredith taking the part that Mueller has, and it at tained great popularity. Maxwell Anderson wrote the play on the point that it takes place, the top of Vim mountain, Tor, overlooking the Hudson river.

Mrs. Fisher, well known Nebraska .writer, will speak on this campus on Charter Day, Feb. 15. "Triviality," as defined by Mrs. Fisher, is a concentration of at tention on unimportant details to the exclusion of great things, with a resultant weakening and enfeeb ling of the sense of proportion. "We are drowned in the pres sure of the American tradition that the only things of value are those done in common with oth ers," she declared, speaking on "Triviality, the Evil Genius of American Women." "We simply have forgotten that the best thing to show as a re sult of application to intellectual growth is enjoyment of intellectual growth, whether anybody knows about it or not," Mrs. Fisher ex plained. "You may be perfectly sure whether you are succeeding in the cultivation of your own taste by noticing what you really enjoy."

It Is realized at the outset that such an affiliation would be unique, but we also realue that it is more unique that a choir composed of over 90",, ot registered university students and 10 cart time students or recent alu taincd great distinction without the sponsorship of the university. Of secondary importance to its magnificent spiritual purpose is the fact that the choir may represent the University publicly In the finest way possible by its high performance. Already it has gained national distinction and offers the only challenge among student activities to rival a football team of a large university in attention it has attracted. The council feels a choir of such purpose and excellence should represent itself, not just as a great choir but as a great choir connected with a great university. The council understands that the choir is to be independent of the usual departmental qualifications for giving credits and as such will not give university credits. This naturally places the choir as a unit and responsible to the Board of Regents. So that further credit will be due the university and the choir, the council highly recommends suitable office and reception facili ties so that the choir will feel justified in spending sufficient money to furnish the audition room in a manner fitting the excellence ot the choir and the university. It is impossible for the council to be specific in this matter of quarters but it recognizes this as a strong issue for the complete success of the affiliation. For size, situation, office facilities, and acoustical possibilities, the quarters in thc Temple building now occupied by the alumni office that is soon to be vacated, seem the least the choir should be alloted.

By Mary Steuteville. Dr. R. A. Lyman pays tribute to the students of Nebraska. With all of their adverse criticism from every source, he wants to say something nice about them and he believes that he has good grounds for calling them unselfish, sym pathetic and kind. Calling a Nebraskan reporter to his office, the university doctor told this story, which he believes proves his statements. "The day after Thanksgiving a freshman boy came into my office after apending his vacation at his home in western Nebraska. He was taken to the infirmary and after several days, his case was diagnosed as typhoid fever, the second case to hit the Nebraska campus since the medical service was established in 1918.
