John K. Selleck
loses no sleep
over Bowl gate
To the ordinary person, $100,000
more or less is something to worry
about, but John K. Selleck, busi
ness manager of the athletic de
partment, isn't worried about the
sum due his department.
Altho it has been 35 days since
Nebraska earned about $100,000
in the Rose Bowl game, the Corn
husker's share of the gate receipts
is still in California. And the check
probably won't arrive for another
month or two.
Selleck explained that all ex
penses in staging such a complex
affair must be taken care of be
fore the two schools receive their
share of the money.

'Key Largo'
Ward, Glenn Nelson, and Max
Whittaker, portraying tourists,
and Kenneth Miller, the deputy
sheriff.
Hunter, commenting on the
play, stated, "In most respects
'Key Largo' is the biggest pro
duction of the years, from the
standpoint of cast, production
problems, and type of drama."
A Full Drama.
The play represents the first at
tempt of the University Theatre
to produce a drama luring the
current season. "Key Largo" deals
with the conflict within a man
that may result from the conflict
in the world itself and has as a
background the Spanish Civil
war.
It is typical of the realistic tone
of Maxwell Anderson's plays and,
according to Hunter "an attempt
will be made to create a symbolic
and expression istic style of pro
duction." "Key Largo" is one of the two
"Best Tlays of 1939-40" as listed
in Burns Mantle which have been
released for production by ama
teur theatrical groups.
