. . Simon and Room-mate
Cadet Donald E. Simon of Lin
coln, a former student at the
University of Nebraska, and his
room-mate at the U. S. Military
academy have invented an air

He attended grade and high school
in Lincoln and was a university
junior when he was appointed to
West Point by Senator George W.
Norris following a competitive examination.
Cadet Simon and co-inventor
Hinkley were recently called to

Hilda Beal
To Lecture
At Forum
British Teacher to Speak
On English Civilian Life
At Union This Afternoon
Civilian life in wartime Enar
land will be described in a Union
sponsored forum today at 4 p. m.
in the Union faculty lounge by
Miss Hilda Beal, teacher in York,
England, and lecturer for His
Majesty's forces.
Particularly interested in the
problems of education in the war
and in democracy at work in Brit
ian, Miss Beal will devote part
of her lecture time to discus
sion of education during the war.
She will also tell of female civilian
defense work, and will relate tha
experiences of fellow women work
ers in England.
The number of women drafted
for different services in the war
emergency totals over one mil
lion. Many women have taken
non-combatant posititons in the
armed forces. Women from 17 to
51 are liable to draft foV defense
and war work.
Miss Beal left England from
Cardiff, Wales, six months ago.
The trip here by a small freighter
in a convoy took 28 days. This
is not her first trip, as she was
an AAUW exchange teacher in
this country two years ago.
The speaker is in the women's
volunteer service and the mobile
canteen section service in Eng
land.
In an effort to make "Seven Sisters the
most complete production of the year, the uni
versity orchestra will play the part of making
the show one solid continuation. It will ring
up the curtain and ring it down and in this
manner the mood of the play will not be lost
as usual by a break between acts.
This idea is not new, but is new to the
regular scheme of organization of University
Theatre productions. "Seven Sisters," begin
ning April 29, will give the orchestra a more
important role than it has had in any of the
previous plays.
A brief summary of the work done by the
orchestra this season includes music furnished
for the "(Jay Nineties," "Kast Lynne," and
entre-act music for the other productions,
"Prologue to dory," "Ladies in Retire
ment," and "Androclcs and the Lion."
Tn "Seven Sisters" music will be used as
background to supply the light and bouncing
mood of the farce comedy, ttrahms' Hungarian
Dances and Victor Herbert's Czardas from
"The Fortune Teller" combined with gypsy
dances will add atmosphere to the gay cos
tumes and enchanting scenery of the Hungar
ian cottage.
All effects, the music, costumes and scen
ery arc intended to characterize the Hungar
ian characteristics and national traits.
The orchestra is directed by James Nehez.
Other personnel for the University Theatre's
last production of the year include: Aronita
Daskovsky, Johnson Hean, Marvclla Werner,
Klaine Weiand, Helen Frame, Carlos Atkinson,
Keith llobinson, Kenneth Klaus, Dorothy
Hendricks, and Sam Worsham.

Sure I've heard that there will
be a decrease in enrollment in ag

boast of tho...and that's an in
crease of more than 600 boys over
our present population. It won't
last long tho since they will be
here only over the weekend . . .
this weekend. For the 28th year,
high school boys, taking voca
tional agriculture training, have
met at the ag college to compete
in judging contests.
It'll almost be a family reunion
for the Klingman "boys" since
four of them will be on the cam
pus during the day in various
capacities. Glen is an instructor in
agronomy at the college and is tn
charge of grain judging and
identification, grain grading and
crops and soils management
courses.
