Over the Coffee Cups
A touch of an eastern college nicety will be
introduced today to Nebraska's students, par
ticularly English department students, in the
form of a "coffee." The success of this take
off of the English afternoon tea-time depends
solely upon the students who have been in
vited to the "for free" affair in the Student
Union.
There appears to be a definite place in
the Nebraska extracurricular calendar for
"coffees." Student-faculty relationship has
never been what is should informal cordial
ity outside of the classroom. When a class
bell rings at the end of the hour, students
mentally thumb their noses at their instruc
tors until the next class session. This atti
tude springs largely from the false idea that
talking to a "prof" outside of clasa is inter
preted as "apple polishing," a trait no stu
dent wants to be accused of. Thus, many
students refrain from ever seeing their
"profs" outside of class and go through a
course without knowing much more than
their instructors' names.
It is hard to knock this notion out of the
heads of students. The "coffees" are the first
genuine attempt to dispel this idea. Hy putting
students and faculty members together over
the coffee cups, it is hoped the self-built walls
of Jericho tumble down. Today's experiment,
employing a successful device of the more clois
tered and cultured eastern colleges, should be
interesting and, we hope, equally successful.

Mrs. Emily Cockroach Points
Finger of Shame at Union
'No Modesty, Manners
Says U Hall Socialite
"Shocking! Utterly despicable!"
exclaimed Mrs. Emily Cockroach,
of U hall, on a visit by special in
vitation to the Student Union to
compare the glories of the newest
building on the campus with those
of her present domicile, the oldest
building on the campus.
"Back home we at least show a
little respect for modesty and
manners," asserted the social
leader in U hall's cockroach cir
cles. "Evidently college boys and
girls aren't being brought up to re
spect the niceties of convention. I
haven't met one young gentleman
since I came in that troubled to
take off his hat inside the build
ing. I have always thought that
taking hats off in the house is one
of the most fundamental, really
most fundamental courteaies of
polite society.
Crap Ettiquette.
"Furthermore, in XJ hall we do
our crapshooting in the basement.
And not simply because we have
no main lounge to play in. Our set
wouldn't play craps in a palatial
main lounge even If we had one."
"Don't you think that situation
can be eliminated with a little stu
dent co-operation?" inquired her
interviewer. "They know that the
lounge is meant for enjoyable re
laxation." "Enjoyable relaxation Really!"
broke in Mrs. Emily, looking dis
gusted. "Really! Have you ever
seen anything quite as unenjoy
able and as unlovely as the sight
of a student stretched out full
length on one of these luxurious
sofas, with mouth wide open, and
taking a very shall we say
noisy nap?"
Uncivilized.
"And you must admit, tho U
hall is a trifle dilapidated, it came
that way thru age; we do not use
our delicate coffee tables for foot
stools. Look at that poor, besten
I down table over there with eight
size lis perched on it.
"Er a yes, Mrs. Cockroach,"
said the interviewer, 'and now
wouldn't you like to drop into our
stunning Corn Crib for a coke?"

performance.
Only one Incident is muffed
that when John Williams hs Mm -dock,
the butler, informs the Curl
wrlgl.ts that their hostess, Olive
Llovd-Hansome, played by Grace
E. Hill, has made complete ar
rangi metils for thtir dcpaiture.
The potential comedy is somewhat
obscured by the iinhutlerlsh man
ner of Murdock. First night tense
ness may be the explanation.
Kay Brown, as a high strung
psychiatrist involved In a love af
fair with a glamorous friend of
his wife, has some outstanding
scenes In "The Astonished Heart"
and makes the most of them.
Marjorlc Bannister, the wife, turns
in a performance nothing short of
all around excellence. After hear
ing her advice to her husband on
his problems, we are almost ready
teady to recommend her for "Ad
vice to the Lovelorn." As far as
acting her role of an irresistable
beauty, Claudine Burt does her
usual swell job.
Virginia Nolte turns in one of
her best performances with the

Old faithful John Gaeth provoked
belly laughter in his portrayal of
the worm that turned, Henry Gow,
the meek, long suffering husband
who, after 15 years of matrimonial
hell, bolsters his courage with a
ecuple of drinks, browbeats his
wife, his nagging mother-in-law
and his sniveling daughter in a
terrific scene, and leaves them for
the South seas.
All in all, it looks as if the Play
ers have turned in another one of
the "best" performances, which
have been so abundant this season.
The excellent stage settings, the
superior brand of acting which
prevails and the novelty of the
triple bill surmount the difficul
ties of shakey old Temple theater
and make "Tonight at 8:30" a
"must" performance.
