Union Becomes Typical Large Western
Saloon for Birthday Party Friday
By Pat Chamberlin
Gambling, shooting, racing, and fortune telling will
convert the graduating Student Union into a large-scale
replica of a typical Western saloon Friday night, May 1,
when a gala carnival party will celebrate -the Union's
fourth birthday.
Sixteen campus organizations will set up concessions
on the second and third floors of the building for a
moderate admission fee. All profits from the various
booths will benefit either the Red Cross, Student Foun
dation, WSSF, Fort Crook recreation center, or the USO,
as desired by the Indivvidual organization in charge.
Parlors X, Y, and Z will house a gigantic arcade.
Rat and turtle races will be run by ACBC and the
YWCA respectively. The turtles will be further enlivened
by the naming of the animals after the campus big-shots
all running to the goal of all-campus presidency. The
rats will be lively enough, as guaranteed by Dwight

'Seven Sisters' Begins
Three Day Run Tonight
Helping Widow (iyurkovies find matrimonial catches for
her three oldest daughters will keep you amused and guessing
the entire evening, as you watch the performance of "Seven
Sisters," the last production of the Unversity Players' 1041
i' season.
The play is intended primarily to entertain with a brilliant
portrayal of Hungarian national traits and social conditions.
Together with the gay costumes of the peasant elass, it is an
ideal combination of rippling good humor, light romance, and
romping fun. Chief value of "Seven Sisters" is to be found in
the light and bouncing mood combined with characteristic Hun
garian national traits and social customs.
Costumes Large and Various.
An exceptionally large number and variety of costumes are

Morrill Museum Acquires
Huge Armored Dinosaur
. . . From Carnegie Museum
Morrill hall museum has ar- for the unearthing of the water
ranged to secure a huge armored
dinosaur for its noted collection of
prehistoric fossil skeletons, ac
cording to announcement Tuesday
by Dr. C. B. Schultz, director. The
museum does not contain any
dinosaurs at present.
An exchange of some Nebraska
mammal material will be made
with the Carnegie Museum of
Pittsburgh to secure the new spe
clman which belongs to the old

earth's history. Some 80 million
years old, the dinosaurs lived
during about the same age as

ROTC Completes Warm-up
For Government Inspection
. .
Nebraska cadets went thru their
final warm-up on the parade
grounds yesterday afternoon, in
preparation of their annual feder
al inspection which begins today.
With the advice "to come back
with an extra dose of polish on
their belts, buckles and shoes," the
military department completed its
final preparations for the inspec
tion today, and is marking time
with its perfect record of passing
reptiles here but no dinosaurs. The
university's new acquisition, some
20 feet long and 11 feet high, was
found in Utah in the dinosaur na
tional park area. The rise of the
Rocky Mountains which drained
the inland sea doubtless contribut
ed to the extinction of the great
reptiles, according to Dr. Schultz.
The university museum director
arranged for the exchange of ma
terial in Pittsburgh on the way
hack from a recent trip to New
"Sork City. He viewed the dino
saur at the Carnegie museum and
reports that it is as complete as
any ever found. It has large, per
pendicular bony plates running
above its vertebrate column and
several large spikes, on the end
of its tail all of which should
make it a popular object of mus
ijum visitors' attention when it
arrives on the campus In the near
future.

chairman of tne YWCA booth.
Plan Zoo
Perhaps a better name for the arcade would have
been the Student Union Zoological gardens what with
the Cornhusker Co-op's live ducks also swimming in the
arcade. Edwin Flynn of that house gaily invites the
carnival goer to toss a ring over a duck's unsuspecting
neck. But you can't have the duck even if you do.
Also in the arcade will be popular penny pitching
run by the Alpha Phis and Chi Omegas, while the
Student Foundation, as always obsessed with the idea
of covering the state of Nebraska, will urge the crowds
to throw a dart at their own county.
The gambling element will be furnished by Gamma
Phi Beta, whose chairman is Roberta Burgess. These
Gamma Phis have planned a roulette game with betting,
winning, and losing, all for the price of one. Another
