Humor, drama atOrchesis 'Dance recital art not leg show' says critic BV LUCILLE THOMAS. "Leg show" isn't the correct de scription for the Orchesis recital after all. "Art is mort apt. . Topping the show was "Black Shadows" an interpretation of the negro as composed and danced by Betty Groth and Betty Mueller. Outstanding lor feeling, the three movements expressed the melancholy religion of the "Deep South," and of the childish glee of Harlem as well as the element abandon of rhythm of the primi tive savages. Accompaniments for "Black Shadows" were only the mournful intoning of "Deep River," handclaps for the Harlem ites, and nothing but the stamp of feet in savage beat for the primi tive. Kady praises surrealist. Miss Kady Faulkner, sitting in the front row, thought that the "Lobster at Midnight," surrealism act, had by far the moat "uinph" of the entire performance. The audience howled in glee. Added attractions not in rchearrl: three wheeling Tarzan ladies instead of two, the huge flowing mop of Tat Pope s hair let loose, and a dizzy sign waved by someone baclnaitge Great force In arm movements characterized most of the dancing done by the Bctt 3 Groth am Mueller. Example!., the pugna cious movements oi the primitive savage, the "Hell" salutes in Miss Groth's "Imperialism," which was also characterized with a modi fied goose Htep and a great seri ousness of purpose, and the fren zied movements of Mi3s Mueller in her solo, "The Desolate." A dif ference in the two girls dancing: Betty Groth's movements are more aubtle, Betty Mueller's more baan doncd. Leave out step. The flowing rhythm and calcu lated movement of the Strauss waltz was still lilting. Disappoint ment: They left out the intricate little step that we've been practic ing ever since dress rehearsal. Frceding the waltz, th advanced class did 'Trelude" to a startling accompaniment of drums gourds, (.

Ag college offers activity career parallel to city campus in rewards, honoraries BY CLYDE MARTZ. Side by side with the varied activity program of the city cam pus, and likewise pyramiding up ward to those senior jackpots, the red robes of Innocents and black masks of Mortar Boards, a vast array of activities meets the young ag college aspirant. Though the colleges are Inter locked by the joint representation which both campuses have on the student council, and the pep or ganizations, Tassels and Corn Cobs, ag campus activities branch out into a distinctive agricultural structure. Ag executive board governs. Governing the activities and so cial events of farm campus stu dents and representing to agricul turists t':e same thing that the student council does to both, is a 14 member ag executive board. In addition to controlling the authori sation of parties and restricting students to the standard point Bys tem, this body sponsors the two large all campus parties of the year. Corresponding to the Mili tary ball and the junior-senior prom as hijjhspots of the year up town, these annual dances, the EIDilBCN SUNDAY, AriilL 30, 1939 Heiny offers reduction of only 20 F. A. Good promises non-interference from Railway commission A modified form of 'the Student Council's intercampus bus rate re duction proposal will be submitted tomorrow to the hoard of directors of the Lincoln Traction company by E. R. Heiny, vice president and general manager of the firm. If passed, the change will be the first milestone in the councils fight to improve bus service be tween ag campus and the city campus. Unable, after thoro investiga tion, to meet the request for a 5 cent rate, Ileiny has offered a reduction of approximately 20 per cent, lowering the cost of fare checks from 3 for 25 cents to for 20 cents. An attempt will also be made to reroute the busses so that they will leave each campus shortly after classes are dismissed at each hour. Council fights on. F. A. Good of the state rail way commission yesterday reaf firmed his previous statement that "unless some unforeseen objection is raised, the commission will not hinder the reduction of rates on intercampus busses. The commis sion must pass on every change ir. rates or routes of the Traction company before it can be put into effect. "We shall not stop with this achievement," said Art Hill chairman of the Council Bus com mittee, after a conference with Heiny, "but will fight until we get a system satisfying our original plans." Gives reasons. Heiny gave two reasons for his inability to include a 5 cent fare (See BUS LINE on page 2) spring formal every February, pre sent amid fanfare and applause the queens of farm beauty, the Farmers' formal queen and the Ag goddess, respectively.

We're very glad to welcome the DAILY NEBRASKAN, and we wish you could come out to this campus oftener. The two campuses are coming closer and closer together, I'm sure, and I believe that is a good thing. What we've always needed, of course, is some means of making transportation between the campuses more convenient and less expensive. I am heart ily in accord with any plan that will make that possible, and I am glad to note that students have taken the initiative and have actually stirred up wide spread interest in improved bus service. From all appearances, the Farmers' Fair will be one of the largest and finest fairs we have had in many- years. For one thing, the weather has been very good (knock on wood). If it holds out, we know we will have the largest attendance of recent years. For another thing, we have elaborate plans for tf-e Fair. The board this year seems un usually encouraged; the re sponse of the students has been especially enthusiastic. We're planning a great celebration. W. W. BURR, Dean, College of Agriculture.

I went over to the bam and stalled around until she came in. After exchanging lusty "moos," I began by Interview. "Where were you born?" I asked. Beaming, she answered, "I Was a test lube cow!" Not desiring to go into the finer points of such cxpoi imonis, I asked, "What was the most vivid experience In your life?" "Well, it was just a year ago that three unscrupulous individ uals attempted to kidnap me. As I was about to be carried away, the campus cop came to my rescue. i wo ot the thugs got away, but the other one was left holding the bag." "Are you niurried?" 1 queried, hoping that she wasn't.
