Kosmet Klub's annual fall re
vue will be staged Thursday night,
November 20, in a downtown the
atre, according to an announce
ment made yesterday by Bert
Smith, business manager. The
revue, composed of skits by or
ganized houses, is usually held on
a Saturday but due to conflicts,
the date was changed for this
year.
Tryouts for the revue will take
place late this month allowing fra
ternities, sororttiei, and organized
houses plenty of time to prepare
Kosmet Klub pledget and ac
tives will meet today at 4:30
p. m. in the Union. The group
will make plans for the an
nual fall show.
a skit. Letters are being sent to
these groups by Kosmet Klub ex
plaining the tryouts and show.
One of the highlights of the
show is the presentation of Prince
Kosmet and the Nebraska Sweet
heart. Both will be elected by
students at the fall election later
this month. Filings are open in
John K. Selleck's office. Last
vear's Prince was Ralph Worden
and the Sweetheart was Virginia
Bergsten.
Shorten Show.
The show will be shortened
somewhat from past years, ac
cording to Smith, since it has
been too long and drawn out. An
appeal is being made to competing
groups to keep slapstick comedy
pretty much out of the skits and
also to cut down on the cost of
presentation. Themes for the skits
must be unusual and appealing as
former revues have shown, and
the winnine- stunts must survive
a great .deal of competition.
Cuns are offered for the best
skit given by women and the best
eiven bv men. A curtain aci cup
is also offered. Winners last year
were Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Phi,
and Alpha Sigma Phi.
Skits in the past have varied in
presentation but musicals have
proven themselves most popular.
In '32, the first year the best skit
was chosen, the Kappa-DU skit
"Radio Revue," copped first place.
Gamma Phi Beta took the cup
with "College Daze" in '33. Both
were musicals.
Melodramas.
However, a Kappa-ATO stunt
entitled "Ye Old Towne Hall" took
the prize in '34 and since then old
time melodramas have ranked
second highest in popularity with
the judges. In '35 "Lunatic Asy

IKligher Food Costs in State
Advance Living Expenditures
Economists
Higher food costs affect Ne
braska families in two ways ac
cording to mid-western farm eco
nomists. They mean higher prices
for farm products and consequent
better income, but they also mean
increase in living expenditures.
Wholesale prices have already
risen almost 24 percent within the
year, and are usually an advance
signal to consumers on retail mar
kets. Nebraskans will buy most of
their owh apples this year, thanks
to last November's cold snap. Pro
duction nationally is up by 10
percent, however, and the supply
should keep prices In line except
as demand and government pur
chase tend to push them higher.
Nutritionists recommend stor
age of three bushels of apples per
person to insure an adequate con
tribution to diet.
Higher prices for potatoes based,

yields, are in prospect. More than

curring college poll conducted by
means of scientific sampling ref

of the country.
The Nebraskan, like 160 other
undergraduate newspapers, spon
sors the non-profit organization
on an exchange basis. Local poll
results are sent in to the Univer

tabulation, and in return the mem

to the weekly results.

university interviewer. Every time
a survey is conducted he receives
a questionnaire) on national, inter

questions having been pretested
for their unbiased wording. In
structions are also received de

The polls are thus "controlled"
by making sure that the correct
proportions of men and women,
working and non-working stu
dents, ' freshmen and upperclass
men, are represented. The ratios
for each part of the country are
based on enrollment figures of the

Important'
Says Dean
Dean Bengtson, head of the
Junior Division office, today em
phasized the importance of the
first conferences of freshmen with
their advisors saying that the real
purpose of the meetings is "to aid
every problem case."
He went on to say that some
students have taken on more extra-curricular
activities than their
academic programs would war
rant, but that there were others
who don't have enough to do.
"We are really holding these for
the student's own welfare. Those
who don't have enough subjects
and activities to create for them
an interest in university life are
being given more to do. Those that
have too many hours or have en
tered into a prohibitive amount of
outside work are dropping some of
one or the other," the dean ex
plained. "However," he went on,
"the greater bulk of the freshmen
are getting along very well."
