Since then several of his paintings have been considered for purchase. Works in many styles. Although he works in almost every imaginable medium, nis present exhibition is limited to water color.

Lahr to direct Union OVER THERE Is Europe headed for new horrors? Unrestricted warfare may follow rejection of Italy's peace efforts by Woerner and Steele. Europe will probably experience her first chill of the terrible ho ror that only unrestricted warfare can bring by this coming Sunday. Only the formal efforts of Musso lini to bring peace remain before Hitler hurls his mighty air-force and mechanized army against the allies. And already the allies have completely rejected the terms that il Duce is reported to have to offer. Hitler plans to issue a "peace ultimatum" Friday or Saturday and then if the allies refuse to give in, he has hinted strongly See OVER THERE, page 2. Players end ticket sales Wednesday, last day to buy seasons ducats University Players ticket cam paign will end at 5 p. m. tomor row. Because of difficulty in con tacting students, the drive has been lengthened one day. Friday the Tassels had sold 67J from a quota of 1.500 tickets. "Lack of student interest in this traditional activity is hard to un derstand, in the light of the fact that the University Players is one of the most active organizations of its type in the country," said Business Manager Hunter. "This is our twenty-fifth year. Few or ganizations can boast a better record, and few college theaters will ever present as new and well known productions as this univer sity's own group, he added. More tickets have been sold to day than any other day of the , campaign, and all indications are that salts will continue to increase i " u,c "-"- l"u The Players will present five plays this year. "Our Town," a play without scenery which won the Pulitzer prize last year, has been definitely chosen for the opening production. Campus GOP's gain scant margin of .7 over Demos Student opinion shifted from its 50-50 stalemate of last week slightly to the republican side of the fence with 50.7 per cent of the students interviewed in the weekly DAILY NEBRASKAN political survey favoring a change of parties in the 1940 elections. Interviews with more than one per cent of the student body en rolled in the university this fall showed little change in the popu larity of the presidential candi dates, with the exception that the democrats are becoming more uni fied in their support of Roosevelt, and the republicans are swinging into line behind New York's Dis trict Attorney, Thomas E. Dewey. From the straight 30 per cent following of last week, Roosevelt advanced in popularity to 36.3 per cent, while Dewey moved up pro portionately to 30.3 per cent. No objection to third term. On the question of a third term, 48.5 per cent of the students inter viewed saw nothing wrong with the principle of a man serving 12 years or even more, but many of these were definitely opposed to Roosevelt keeping that office. This figure showed a decided change of face on behalf of the students from Former Mortar Board, P.B.K., yearbook editor replaces Mrs. Yinger Patricia Lahr, Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa of the class of 1939, became the new social di rector of the Student Union Oc- Lincoln Journal. PATRICIA LAHR. . . No false promises tober 1, by vote of the board of managers meeting last week. Miss Lahr replaces Mrs. Veva Mae Yinger who resigned the post in July to study dramatics in Marie Ouspanskaya's school in Holly wood. "My aim is to find a means to bring into the Union the largest percentage of students," Miss Lahr declared as she took over her new office. Plans she indicated are not as yet mature enough for publica tion, adding that it is her desire to never promise anything or to announce anything which she can not make a reality. Familiar with student Interests. "Naturally having been a stu dent on the campus and acquainted with campus affairs and organiza tions, I feel that I have some in sight at least into the desires of the students," the new director explained. Her work in her new capacity, Miss Lahr considers to be one of contact with as many in dividuals as possible. The familiar ity which she has with student in terests, she feels will put her on a plane of understanding with those with whom she must deal. Miss Lahr was outstanding in activities and scholarship during her four years at Nebraska. As a senior she became one of the few women who have ever held the Cornhusker editorship. the 58 percent favorable vote cast last week. Trailing considerably behind Roosevelt and Dewey in popularity were Paul McNutt with a support of 7.5 per cent of those voting, Garner with 6 per cent, Vandcn See POLL, page 4.

The annual "Pansy Bowl" foot ball game, into which the year book team is thrown like Daniel to the lions, must be played with in the next week.

Regler picks 75 helpers Corps of police to look after stadium sobriety Seventy-five "plain clothes" men are to be stationed in the stadium and at the gates by Sergeant Reg ler during football games, mainly, to try to eliminate drinking. Two police captains have been ap pointed to aid Regler and direct the crew. Regler says he intends to en force a Nebraska statute which makes it unlawful to consume al coholic liquors upon property owned by the state. The statute carries a maximum fine of $500 and costs and 30 days in jail. Every bottle of liquor seen will be confiscated and broken, he con tinued, and any drunk person caus ing a disturbance will be arrested. Students co-operate very vrll and very few have been seen drink ing in the stadium since Regler has been stationed here, he said. If a student is caught drinking he is liable to be punished by the university as well as the law. Regler also asks that students do not leave their parked cars un locked at night because valuable articles are likely to be stolen. Many unlocked cars have been seen lately, especially in front of the greek houses. Three bacteriologists write laboratory book Dr. George L.

Are you mice or men? Don't let us draw our own conclusions! Realizing that the yearbookies will lay claim to supreme intel ligence in their acceptance, of they do accept, might we pass on this bit of advice from NEBRASKAN Coach Bierbover commenting on the Cornhusker chances: "Absence of the body will be better than presence of the mind in this game."
