AUSTIN, Acx., Nov. 25. Young
people In American colleges and
universities, the most fertile re
cruiting field for the army and
navy air corps, are four to one
against sending U. S. air force
planes and pilots to Europe to help
Britain, a national student poll
shows.
These figures compiled by Stu
dent Opinion Surveys of America,
together with answers on the war
declaration issue, add up to define
further the state of mind of
today's collegion:
Interventionism has not made
much inroad on the college cam
pus; the sourness left by World
war I has not completely dis
appeared. With the U. S. already convoy
ing and delivering supplies to the
allies and the experts clamoring
that it will not be millions of sol
diers but planes and pilots and
machines that will win the war,
this question becomes important
in future American policy: "Do

No Reason Why, But
Awgivan, With
Feature, Appears Unheralded
By Art Rivin.
Having missed the boat in pre
vious months, the Awgan staff
doubled during November and
came out yesterday with a com
pletely unheralded third edition.
Feature bf the issue is a pic
torial review of "Nebraska's crack
ROTC units," titled "NU's
Army." Accompanying a story ex
plaining and lauding the work of
the unit are a series of snapshots
of routine life in the "armv of
UN."
The usual gore is present but
not in the usual way. Written in
"down" style, the names of the
persons at whom knives are
thrown in the scandal pages are
hidden in the print. The writing
technique is subtle to the nth de
gree, so much so that it becomes
pointless in places.
Only student-written gem in the
rough of syndicated jokes and
stories is Jerry Kathol's "Frustra
tion." Jerry injects all the campus
slang available into a little inci
dent about a mistaken coke date
with a sorority house mother. At
least it's original.

Uni Opera
For tne first time in several
years the school of- line arts will
present a regular opera produc
tion, complete with scenery and.
costumes, when they give "Caval
leria Rusticana" sometime in Feb
ruary, according to an announce
ment made recently by Dr. Arthur
E. Westbrook director of the
school.
Tho operas have been sung in
conceit form recently at the uni
versity, as last spring's "Faust,"
none have been given for several
years with the usual opera pro
duction of vocal and instrumental
music, dramatic coaching and
elaborate scenery and costumes.
Students in Leading Roles.
Students will sing the leading
roles and the chorus parts in the
production. The speech and art
departments of the school will
cooperate with the music depart
ment to make this a success.
Founded on a tale by Verga,
the liberetto of "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" is written by Italians G.
Targioni-Tozzetti and G. Menasci.
The music is by Mascogni. A dra
matic love story, ending in a duel,
composes the plot of the opera.
Given in one act, during which
the orginal, very famous number,
"Intermezzo" is played, the opera
was awarded the prize offered by
the publisher soon after its initial
production on May 17, 1890.
The university production will
be giver, in the Temple theater.
Livingston
Addresses Ag
Convocation
Larry Livingston, nationally
known lecturer on the wonders of
chemistry, will address a specal
convocation of the college of agri
culture students and Lincoln citi
zens at 9 a. m. on Dec. 5. The
announcement was made today by
Dean W. W. Burr who extenl 1
an invitation to the public to il
tend. Livingston will make the illus
trated address while in Nebraska
attending a long series of county
farm bureau meetings.
One Pictorial
. ... By Campus Critics
Usually little noticed as a sub
ject for comment is the advertis
ing. To the business staff go or
chids for turning in an excellent
job of ad-getting and ad-display-ing.
Certainly the November issue of
the humor magazine is not i.p to
par; it is not the equal of either
of the two previous issues. All of
which seems to indicate that the
current edition was a slip and that
with the aid of a little campus
talent (there must be some on the
campus), the Awgwan stock might
go up.
