Romulo Soldevilla Heads
Cast of New Theatre Play,
'Androcles and the Lion'
lionuilo Soldevilla as Androclos heads the newly selected
east for the next production of the University Players, "And
rock's and the Lion." The other leading character, Magiraera,
will he taken by Jane Dalthorp.
In the part of the romantic lead is Darrell Peters, and
Marjorie Christianson will help him over the tender moments.
Kohert Black will have the title part of the lion, but he will
have no lines.
Originally written as a satire on Christianity, this play has
now become a satire upon dictators and abolition of men of free
thought due to the present world conditions. It introduces a
new type of drama to the University Theatre, that of the
classical comedy.
(ieorge Bernard Shaw, the author, is one of the greatest
What the well-dressed man will wear this
spring seems a rather insignificant question
during a period of war. But as long as there
are men to wear trousers not khaki ones
there will be fashions and styles.
So this is the Daily Nebraskan fashion edi
tion. Through the advertising and the news
columns, the Nebraskan has attempted to show
what clothes will be shown for spring and also
to report the effects of the war on style trends.
On thing is sure: The war has exerted
some influences already on men's fashions, and
it is sure to cause more changes from now on.
The military influence has been very much
in evidence this winter with the rising popu
larity among students, for example, of the
short length fleece coat worn by members of
the empire's defenders. Then, there have been
so many civilians wearing shoes patterned
after those worn by American army officers.
The spring stock of local stores is at about
normal, but how much of the summer clothes,
already ordered that will be delivered is still
in question.
Most far reaching effect of the war on
clothes is anticipated in the fall line which will
feel the full blow of government priorities of
materials. In the autumn will undoubtedly
come "V-for-victory" suits with no vests, no
pleats but more of that in accompanying ar
ticles. Regardless of fashions, stylos, clothes, a
whole nation is agreed on one point: The best
dressed man in the country, on any campus, is
the man wearing the uniform of the armed
services.

Duly, Russel Finish Five
Years of Subtillage Studyj
By Dale Wolf.
Experimentation is the main
purpose of the ag college.
One of the most important stud
ies which has been carried on by
the agronomy department is the
work of F. L. Duly and J. C. Rus
sel. They have how completed five
years of study of a new method
of tillage whereby land can be
prepared for a crop and brought
to harvest without destruction of
the residues of the previous crop.
This method is called "subtillage"
or "subsurface tillage."
A number of new implements
and attachments have appeared on
the market, in response to the
demonstrations of the success of
this method. The method continues
to show marked effectiveness in
the control of erosion and runoff.
It is reasonable to expect that
this method will eventually be
used to control erosion and store
moisture on thousands of farms
in areas of low rainfall.
Dairy Club Hears Weed.
The Varsity Dairy cjub will
have Earl G. Weed, director of
public relations for Foote and
Jenks, Jackson, Mich., as a guest
speaker for the next regular meet
ing Wednesday, March 11. The
meeting will be held in the audi
torium of the Dairy building at
7:30. Mr. Weed will show the
film, "A Fortnight in Mexico."
Since much of our supply of
vanilla beans must come from
Mexico, this should prove to be
very interesting. Mr. Weed has
shown this picture ut other uni
versities and all reports seem to
indicate that they have been well
received. AH those interested are
invited to attend.

Survey Shows U. S. Students
Think Allies Will Win War
Nationally . . .
By Sam Holmes Jr., Associate Editor
Student Opinion Surveys of America
AUSTIN', Texas, March 5 While a plur
ality of college students believes that there is
a possibility of the United Nations losing the
war to the Axis, the latest Student Opinion
Surveys of America poll shows that almost as
many believe the Axis will "probably" be
defeated, and nearly as many think the Allies
definitely will win.
"Which one of these statements comes
closest lo expressing your attitude about the
present war!" a nation-wide cross section of
college students was asked in a poll taken co
operatively by college editors from Maine to
California. A panel of four answers was then
presented to the interviewees. The statements,

"The United States will win the war"
according to the majority f students ques
tioned on the nation's number one
subject. However, most of those ques
tioned did not believe the United Nations were
doing all possible to win the war. Most stu
dents felt the internal situation in the United
States was bad.

have to wiu the war. 1 think England has
reached the peak of her production, but that
we haven't begun to produce all we are
