Nebraska ball games are being!
played this week. There will be
two games every night, Monday
through Thursday until the tour
nament is finished.
First round matches in the table
tennis tournament must be played
by 5 o'clock Friday. The results
may be turned in to Betty Rhoades
at the Pi Phi house or to the WAA
office.
When the Nebraska ball tourna
ment is finished a volley ball tour
nament will be run off if there is
enough interest to warrant it.
Tanksterettes, the girls swim
ming club, meets every Saturday,
except on football days, at one
o'clftck. Following the regular
meeting there is recreational
swimming from two to three. Girls
who failed to sign up for the club
at the activities mart are welcome
to come. Recreational swimming
is open to all girls who are inter
ested. A basketball club meet Satur
day aftrnoon in Grant Memorial
has been suggested. Considering
the hot games that develop in the
intramural tournament, there
should be enough girls interested
in playing to make such a club
worthwhile. How about it girls
do you want a basketball club?

ing and feeling are there the
technique has yet to be fully de
veloped. The importance of making the
audience understand Hans, the
young German hero, is fully
realized by Victor Ferris, who
takes the role. Unfortunately
however, enthusiasm is not the
only requisite. Vic lacks the voice
and bodily training necessary to
give authority and dignity to the
part.
All of the players seemed to
have one or two outstanding cli
maxes which they worked out
beautifully, leaving the lesser parts
unfinished and almost disregarded
in some instances. This created
in the play a series of high spots,
in between which, were long inter
vals of monotony. The construc
tion of the play itself was partly
responsible for this, although if
more time had been alloted for
working out details the play would
have moved much faster.
Betty Rhodes appealing and
vivacious interpretation of Bingo,
and Phyllis Overman's quiet, nat
ural portrayal of Mrs. Hunter were
commendable. Joan Bohrer, with
her surprisingly good English ac
cent, shows possibilities of becom
ing a new name in the University
Theater, with her first role of
Marion Curwood.
A few high spots in the play
were embarrassingly dramatic, as
was evident in a scene played by
Jeanne Racine, In which she reads
a letter of Etna's with over
emotional expression which defeats
the purpose. This is possibly a
sign of deep understanding in
hibited by lack of experience for
proper communication.
Obviously, "Letters to Lucerne"
Is too difficult a play for a group
of university students to produce,
and yet we who have seen it owe
a Jot to Mr. Enslin and the players
for tackling the job. If they had
not done so, we would never have
learned the lesson, about human
beings and our relationships to one
another in this chaotic world,
which the play teach -.
The value of "Letters to Lu
cerne" U in the philosophy it con
tainsa philosophy we all need in
order to understand the people we
are fighting with and against. This
understanding is necessary to form
the basis of our thinking with re

cance of the story and their sin
