On Frivolous Side
Week Has Much in Entertainment
By Mary Kierstead.
What fools these mortals be
o we decided to see what was
going on in the entertainment
world, and lads and lassies, what
do you think ? Big things go on in
Lincoln now and then.
For instance we sent our little
girl scout to the telephone the
other day to see what dope she
could round up about a Mr. Jay
McShann. Our little girl scout re
ported the following. Jay McShann
who has Just finished a one year
stand at the Savoy in New York;
Jay McShann whose band Bells the
most Dccca records in the world
today; Jay McShann who has a
twentieth century rythmn and who
starts a week s stand at King s,
tomorrow night.
Well, we wondered. Certainly
our frans of the Uni would not be
mortal enough to let such a band
go by and we, ourselves, decided
to check up.
They'll Be There.
Hank Greene, smooth boy from
the bomber plant at Wahoo and
a Phi Delt, is sporting, as usual
Helen Kiesselbach, one of the best
deals at the Gamma Phi house.
A school-teacher fran of ours,
Lumir Gerner, obligingly remarked
that he will escort Ruth Davis,
summer school gal. Dave Walcott,
efficient man on the Cornhusker
staff, will go with Sidney Ann
Gardner, Theta. Accompanying
Dave and Sid Ann are Buzz Diers,
Scottsbluff, with Martha Ann
Reed, Alpha Chi. Are we boring
you no? Oh we take hints well
enough.
Did you hear about Gertie the
Dinosaur yet? Gertie, it seems, is
to make one of her most recent
appearances at the cartoon show
at the Union Sunday at 8 p. m.
The show, titled "Cartoons from
A to Z, from 1900 to 1940" will
also bill Mutt and Jeff, Steam
boat Willie, and some of the Dis
ney art of the last year or two.
What Doe He Like?.
Bob Bramson seems to like red
heads or did you all ready know
that he liked blondes anyway
that red head of red heads is at
the Lincoln in "Wings For the
Eagle." Oh you had heard about
Sheridan, huh. Sorry Dennis Mor
gan sure has cute dimples.
Soldiers are here to stay it
seems whether Bill Florey objects
or not. Some 350 of them from the
air base are to be guests of the

Understand they are to play
around a bit games, you know
and spend the rest of the evening
dancing.
Lest we forget some more big
stuff let us throw a few kind
words the way of Sonny Dunhm,
at the Pike tonight. Sonny, it
seems, was for some time top
trumpet man with Glen Gray,
started his own band and is a
good boy out Hollywood way. Our
girl scout got us that, too.

Even Better!
The orchestra, vigorously
conducted, played better than
many had anticipated, altho
more than- once the sounds com
ing from the horns were not the
same sounds that the composer
had intended or that Mr. Wish
now was perhaps exoectina.
It was a matter of amazement
too, the number of rather young

After All....
Altho one might think Shostak

for taking time out to compose
an hour and 20 minute symphony
with the Germans knocking over
and blowing to bits the city
around him, he is in reality a real
human and finds more joy in a
second glass of beer and in seeing
his favorite soccer team win than
in finishing a new symphony.

A bill creating such a group

College Takes
Only Lowest
25 of Boys
... In High School
TABOR, Iowa. (ACP). A unique
college, which will accept only
those boys who finish high school
in the lowest 25 per cent of their
class, has been established in this
southwest Iowa town of fewer than
1,000 residents.
This amazing entrance require
ment, setting the educational world
topsy-turvey, was created by Dr.
Robert Enlow O'Brian, preacher,
educator, politician and business
man, the new president of Tabor
college.
Former president of Morning
side college at Sioux City, and
former Iowa secretary of state,
Dr. O'Brian has always wanted to
run a college for the "lower one
fourth" who seldohi get invita
tions to college campuses these
days. Last winter he got his
chance. The president of Tabor re
signed, and the college faced its
second closing in its 80-year his
tory. Some of the trustees asked
Dr.. O'Brian to take over. He
agreed, on the understanding that
he could introduce his scholarship
ideas.
Last September the school
opened with a dozen students; Dr.
O'Brian hopes to add 26 each sem
ester, until the maximum of 200,
set by the new by-laws, is reached.
The course is what Dr. O'Brian de
scribes as the "old liberal arts
course, brought up to date." All
students must master typing and
shorthand, as well as German and
Spanish.
English composition is taught
aa a "remedial" course, stressing
correct spelling and use of clear,
coherent, proper sentences. Mathe
matics is of the statistical and ac
counting varieties. The rest of
the course follows traditional lib
eral arts lines.

ays. Well, well. So we dont
have to write an inquiring re
porter column this week. Pretty
keen, no? Maybe some other
time.
A general letter signed by
Alice C. Lloyd, member advisory
educational council, U. S. N. R.
and dean of women at the Univer
sity of Michigan stated:
It is desired that the group
of young women who shall be
chosen for training as officers
be a selected group who during
their college years excelled in
scholastic achievement and
showed qualities of leadership
and ability to cooperated in
group life."
O'Brian feels. He hopes to see
them get jobs as private secretar
ies, shipping clerks and similar
positions, and "with the prestige
of an A. B. degree and the train
ing of a solid, practical course be
hind them," he believes they can
work up to higher executive posts
or to ownership of their own busi
nesses in a few years.
