Theatre Vote Slow
For two days students have been voting for the
plays they would like to see produced this year by
the University Theatre. Of 10 plays, including: com
edy melodrama, dran mystery, approved by
the Theatre advisory v Uee, each student se
lects three. The reason lor a student vote on the
plays is part of the Theatre's move to become an
fcll-out student activil:
This year all stutleni.s may try out for parts in
the plays, which have heretofore been restricted to
members of the University Players. This year also
Theatre participation will be pointed as other school
activities are.
The changes made tnis year are in line with an
tltempt to further the importance of the Theatre
hiid bring it nearer to the position that similar
groups hold on other campuses. In some schools
the theatre is almost as important as the football
team. It cannot be expected to be as important as
Nebraska's football team, but the University
Theatre should be helped because it is a branch of
university activity which should not be slighted in
planning; and keeping a well-rounded university
program.
By last night only 323 students had voted in
the play selection. Tt is hoped that more students
will show their interest today - the final balloting
day. The list of 10 plays approved by the Theatre
advisory committee are all successful Broadway
productions and any of them would be successful
here. It's a matter of choice and we hope more stu
dents will express their choices.

An Egypt!" Pharaoh once said: "I don't know
whether you folks know it or not. but dreams are
plenty significant." Right you are, Pharaoh! You
have given the incentive for this column:
In an attempt to explain the significance of
feme of the more unusual dreams, necessarily we
must deal with case histories. In the interest of
simplicity, we shall call them "A" and "B".
CtiSe A. Subject dreams he is walking home
fiom the doim, pulling a sled behind his motorboat.
Suddenly, his faculty adviser skiis over to him and
Fhouts: -And what do you expect to do with that
leindeer?" Scene changes Stanfoid wins th Rose
Bowl game.
Explanation: Subject's concept ion that he is
walking: home from the dorm expresses a perfectly
normal desire to associate with the opposite sex.
The motorboat. implying summer vacations, means
that he had just taken home a girl that he had met
H the lakes in Minnesota. (Minnesota is cold and
snowy in the winter; consequently the sled, the
leindeer, and the skiis.) The subject brought in the
fcdviser just to make the dream harder to analyze.
And Stanford did win the Rose Bowl game, so that
part of the dream is logical.
a
Case B. Subject dreams that he is being- chased
into Long's Eook Store by a giant owl. Clerk
lcoks up and mutters: "I wish you two would do
your playing someplace else." Owl clubs clerk and
disappears out transom.
Explanation: Subject is lncicly expressing a
sci-iet ambition to Irfiomc a Phi Mela Kappa. (In
cider to do this, naturally, lie must buy books from
f ine Uiokstore. He probably, also, would want to
Mmiy at ni-ht. Hence, the owl. Get it?) The
jik ident with the clerk indicates a strong infei iority
lomplex.
Behind llie News
By David Thompson
Not "Way" Behind
I was gleefully informed this morning that this
column is inappropriately named. It seems that at
least one of my readers (perhaps the only reader)
thinks that it should be dubbed "Way Behind the
News" rather than just "Behind the News." As
far as the subjects presented are concerned, this is
often very true; yet I would like to point out to
Mr. Higgins in particular and my readers in gen
eral that it is not the intended purpose of this
columnist to try and scoop the Associated Press
and other news services. That would obviously be
a bit impossible when one is stationed in Lincoln.
However on many occasions I shall try to in
dicate what developments might be forthcoming as
the result of past happenings. The general purpose
of the column is more to analyze and place the
events discussed in as near their proper perspective
as possible. Another avowed intention of this col
umnist is to set forth the happenings in the foreign
situation as briefly as possible each day for the
benefit of those students who find themselves too
busy with other things to read the detailed news
stories appearing in the daily papers.
By the way, 1 am looking for an ambitious for
eign correspondent who can manage to get to the
Russian front and maintain himself there on the
budget the Daily business staff would offer. He
would certainly come in handy. Perhaps then we
could call this the "Ahead of the News" column.
Can you oblige Tim?
Now that I have justified the column, to my
own satisfaction at least, it might be well to briefly
sketch the day's happenings on the foreign front.
Senator McKellar introduced a bill into Con
gress to repeal the Neutrality Act of 1939. . . .
German troops entered the suburbs of beleaguered
Leningrad. ... A plot to seize the Argentinian air
force was prevented by the quick action of the
Argentinian authorities. . . . That is about the size
of it today, so we'll call it quits.
Social SfylsL Qui
By June Jamieson
1. What does one do at all-university
church night. Is "hat and
heels" dress required, or may
school clothes be worn?
Lincoln churches give parties
and meetings for university stu
dents once a year. Depending
upon the church, dancing, lectures
and games are part of the pro
gram. Dress somewhat mor in
formally than you usually do for
church, and by all means wear a
hat no school clothes.
2. Who does the dating for ex
change dinners, and what are the
rules? Is dancing allowed?
When the thundering herd (or
horde) arrives at the sorority
house, pledges usually follow the
same procedure as at hour dances
and (much as they hate it) ask
the men. Actives are asked or
ask as they chooss. If you already
have a date, you may eat at your
i nouse u you line or you may 'go
to the other house. In fact, if
you already have a date, you have
nothing to worry about except get
ting in on time. University rules
decree that there is no dancing in
houses during the week, so that's
out.
3. The first football rally will
be held Oct. 3. Does tradition call
for anything special in the way
of dress?
Since most rallies are held
on the cold, cold mall or at the
station when the team is leaving,
warm and comfortable clothes will
keep your mind off the weather
and the crowd and on the good old
football spirit. The only thing
that tradition calls for is the red
feather with a white N that you'll
stick in your hatband, lapel or
hair to show that you're a true
Cornhusker. And bring along
your voice.
4. Is there a good way to look
beautiful though drenched on
rainy days?
Unless you have rain-proof hair,
there's no formula in the world
that can withstand a Nebraska
drizzle. However, there are rain
hats to match your reversibles
and rubber boots to keep the mud
off your shoes. Scarves guard
your curls, but maybe your pro
fessor doesn't like people who
comb their hair in class as you
will have to do to restore your
looks. All you can do is wear
your rain clothes and hope that
it stops raining at ten minutes to
every hour which is about the
only time you're out anyway.

Custodians' Meic Uniforms
Are Hive, Mot Olive Drab
A correction concerning the University of Ne
braska custodians' uniforms: the uniforms ate to
be dark blue and not olive diab.
There are no objections against wearing the new
uniforms, but the custodians must buy the suits and
wear them in service of the university. The cus- '
todians held a meeting to decide whether to pur- j
chase the uniforms. A vote- of 27-6 was cast against
the issue. However, this vote was not accepted by .
the authorities. loiter, the custodians were told to
buy the uniforms or suffc l an inconvenient c hange
in working hours.
