part in air training program
An armory might have

Lack of proper facilities caused
the University of Nebraska to be
disregarded in the federal govern

In commenting Col. W. H. Oury
of the R. O. T. C. remarked, "The
boys in basic R. O. T. C. have to
drill between the cars instead of
In a decent place nuch as an
armory. If there had been such a
place on the campus, Nebraska

Varsity shows
German film
Students to see picture
set in Alps Saturday
Winterstuerme, the last film in
the series sponsored by the Ger
man department, will be shown
Saturday morning, April 1, at the
Varsity theater. There are three
showings of the film: 6:30, 8:10,
and 9:50.
The story centers about the life
of a young German architect, who,
unhappily married, seeks refuge
high in the Alps. In his wander
ings, he comes to the home of Herr
Favetti. The Favettl family in
lonely and sad because of the
death of a son in the war. The
architect L'l welcomed, and he soon
falls in love with the daughter
and marries her after divorcing his
wife.
Although the play was filmed in
German, subtitles in English
have been added to enable those
who can not understand German
readily to follow the picture. The
Alps form an attractive setting for
the story.
