The final absolute decision was made by the members of the men's dramatic society and announced by Max Laughlin, president. 'Ml is the opinion of the Klub," Laughlm said, "that a general election of Nebraska Sweetheart would become merely a show between the two political parties. With an election at the door, anyone who is interested has the opportunity to come and vote." Decision Pending. This decision has been pending since the action of the barb party in circulating a petition calling for election of the Sweetheart at the polls Nov. 10. However, the petition .was ineffective. Klub officials said, since every organization has the right to choose its own method of selecting honors sponsored by it. Student Council elections committee will supervise the voting.

Murphy University ROTC units, thru "a process of 'streamlining, have kept apace with modern military methods down thru the years," Col. J. P. Murphy, university com mandant told faculty members at a dinner meeting in the Union last night. "Our goal now," the colonel pointed out, "is to provide 12.000 trained reserve officers annually." This number is equal to a little over one-third of the 35,000 yearly requirement of the army, with the other officers coming from officer training schools. College If Answer. Declaring "we feel that in our contact with ROTC students thru the four year period we are pro viding the service with the best type of officer,'' Commandant Murphy said the answer to this demand for potential officers is the scholastic and social back ground provided by college, in ad dition to military trainnig re ceived.

Nebraska SenBe Uni Play Adds 3, 3 GetsComplication BY JANET MASON. To say the least, complications resulted from the attempt of three young men and three young wom en to live together in the same apartment in the first University Theater play, "Out of the Frying Pan," which was sneak-previewed last night. It seems that, altho the six were living together in all innocence, they were having considerable trouble persuading a few inter ested persons of this. One of the girls' father proved to be an inter ested person and created quite a tsion by arriving unexpected- Tuesday, November 3, 1942 Ann Craft Reviews UN Cadet Corps Reviewed by the new honorary colonel, Ann Craft, Nebraska's ROTC unit will hold its second parade of the year this afternoon at 5:30 p. m. As in the first par ade the cadet officers will com mand the unit while the army of ficer instructors review the bri gade. The starting point will be the same as in last week's par ade. Midway in the parade Ann Craft will be formally presented to the corps as honorary colonel by Col. Dick Arnold, cadet commander. The honorary colonel was chosen at the first mass meeting of the junior and senior ROTC cadets in the Union last Wednesday eve ning. Tradition in previous years had been to elect the honorary commander at an election of the entire student body and to keep her identity secret until the mili tary ball. f . i I ft ly in New York and calling up his daughter to inform her that he was coming over immediately. Dad Arrives. As the boys are feverishly pack ing their belongings to move out, Mr. Colburn is heard at the door waiting for admittance. The hear ty actors waste no time disguis ing themselves as plumbers but when the door is opened they re ceive a rather jolting surprise. Mickey Finns, corpses and cops go together to make up a riotous second act, as the six apartment sharers stop at nothing to get parts in the new broad way play, to be cast soon. When the Broad way producer living in the apart ment below is finally lured up stairs, the boys and girls stage a murder scene for them, with the help of a corpse, created by a Mickey Finn, some catsup and one of the girls' guest. When cops appear in the apartment the boys and girls decide that the scene went over well, especially when the girl is discovered on the floor, still under the influence of the Mickey Finn. The unwinding of this compli cated state of affairs makes an exciting and sparkling comedy to be presented Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday of this week.
