For Berne Enslin, director of the Theater, and for the business staff, stage crews and east, the end of the season means the end of a year of hard work. For the students, faculty and Lincolnitea who have Been the productions, the end of the season means the termination, for awhile, of some of the best entertainment to be found in town. It has not been easy for the theater to continue its activities this year. The man shortage has affected it most severely: Flays have been selected that used the minimum of male characters, but the caliber of the productions has not been lowered. Heavy work back stage is done by women workers, and the sets have not suffered. Enslin has been able to put aside these difficulties and work with what advantages he had. It has been difficult enough to overcome these problems without the added burden of inadequate housing of theater offices, props and stage. The play tonight will be up to theater standards. Those who wish to give credit to theater personnel for a fine season's work should make an effort to attend sometime during the week; should help ring down the curtain on another successful University Theater program. Inspect Love Hall . . Visitors at Ag Open House See Unique Teaching Arrangement . . . It i Nursery School BY BETTY LOU HUSTON. City campus students will have an opportunity at the ag campus pen house next Saturday after noon to glimpse something of the workings of three unique features of ag student work. They will htvc a chance to inspect the child development laboratories, the Love memorial cooperative dorm, ard the Starr street home manage ment house. Each of the three institutions Is unusual in that it allows stu dents to put to practical use class room methods and theory in an interesting manner. Laboratory Resembles Playhouse. The child development labora tory has been referred to as a large playhouse. Everything in side the nursery school is built to scale for the twenty chil dren who spend their mornings there. Small tables and chairs, low-hanging mirrors and pictures, an abundance of toys and gay colors make the entire building and the grounds a child's delight Ag freshmen girls begin their Study of the children behind the screens of the observation room with its one way vision. Here they are able to watch them at play and during their lunch hour while remaining out of sight s they advance in their studies, the girls serve as assistants and supple ment classroom study with actual experience in how to meet the reeds of growing children, phys ically, mentally and socially. The home management house at 3220 Starr street, a few blocks from the ag campus, is one of two such houses on the Nebraska campus. The second house is lo cated at 1600 R street Main dif ference between the two estab lishments is that the Starr street house is run on a slightly smaller budget than that of the city cam pus house. Assimi'ate Knowledge. Here ag senior girls put to use the methods and knowledge they have assimilated in four j'ears of college by helping to manage the house during the three and a half weeks one spends liv ing in each house. Responsibility is divided into several units with the jobs rotating from girl to girl every four days. Each girl serves her term as cook, assistant cook, child director, housekeeper and as sistant housekeeper. A real baby lives in the house and always provides excitement and amusement for her many fos ter mothers, as they struggle with formulas and schedules. Love Hall Attracts. Easily one of the most attrac tive buildings on the ag campus is Love Memorial hall, the wom ens cooperative residence hall. The three year old building houses forty-five girls and a housemother. Here again cooperation is the key note as every girl shares in the work of the hall. The ground floor of the build ing contains a series of kitchen and dining units where the resi dents, in groups of four to six, plan, prepare and serve their own meals. Here also the jobs rotate, this time every two weeks, so that every girl works as cook, assistant cook, first and second maid, housekeeper and hostess Each girl spends an average of two hours a day working in the dorm. That provision is also made for relaxation and play is evidenced by the living room with the dis tinctive curved picture window and the large knotty pine recreation room with the cheerful fireplace and coloiful murals. The typical college atmosphere is found in the upper halls flanked by rooms fur nished with double deck beds, matching bedspreads and drapes, and the usual possessions of col lege girls, including teddy bears. YW Efelcs Co-op Group Sponsors Bridge Party For All Campus Women To raise money to send Ne braska coeds to the YWCA sum mer Estes camp is the purpose of the bridge party, sponsored by the YW Estes co-op group, which will take place "Thursday afternoon from 2 o'clock to 4, third floor of tfce Union. , The bridge, 35c a corner, is open to house mothers, coeds and their mothers, and faculty women. Included in the program is a tur key raffle, the auctioning off of a cake and door prizes. Hczel Abel and Gloria Mardis are co-chairmen of the affair. The bridge wiil be the second party given by the Estes co-op group this year, the first being the leap! year dance. V Mail Clippings Pat Chamberlin, Censor Seaman First Class DAVE ANREWS, DU last year, is back on leave after his graduation from the QM school in San Diego. He will report to sub marine school back in San Diego soon. Pvt. TERRY BRANCH, Phi Psi, is with the tank destroyers in Camp Hood, Texas. S gt. NED EASTLACK, Acacia, is with the sig nal corps in North Africa. He has been overseas 13 months and is "just a bit tired of this scenic land of oriental 'enchantment." "After months and months of seeing Arabs and more Arabs, veiled women and more veiled women, camels, palm trees, etc.," he says, "Well, it just makes these everyday sights a little monotonous. Second Lt. JOSEPH BYLER is now stationed with the 385th Infantry at Camp McCoy, Wis. "It's too good to wait a month for!" writes Lt DAVE THOMPSON, A TO and former political col umnist for "the Nebraskan, when he wrote Rags for Servicemen of his new address. He is now stationed at the Charlestown Port of Embarkation, South Carolina, with a control division. Pfc. IRWIN CONE, is with the 70th division at Camp Adair, Oregon. Can't say for sure just where overseas he is, but Lt ROBERT I. PASSER writes that it takes him three months to receive his copy of the Service men's edition. His APO' number is 254 and he is with the service battery of the 66th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. LOIS BRISTOL, former Alpha Chi, has gradu ated from the WASP training school at Sweetwater, Tex. She will now receive various non-combat as signments at army air bases and training fields over the country, relieving male pilots for combat duty.

He will now go on active duty at one of the navy's operational air training centers before being Hell and High Water By Les Glothlty As we plodded sleepily into the Nebraskan office today, we heard a shrill voice screaming at us from the general direction of the Union air conditioning system. Investigation disclosed Donaldine (remem ber, the little coed who got us in so much trouble at the dorm). With a screwdriver and battering ram, we finally released Donaldine, harlequin" glasses, pigtails, dirt and all. She crawled out of her place of confinement, ceremoniously pulled a piece of paper out of her left shoe, and began to relate her week's wanderings, not the least abashed at finding herself trapped in the air conditioning. Donaldine is a hearty soul. "I," said Donaldine, 'have secret information on things which will interest you." "You," we answered, "are not the only one." 'Now listen," Donaldine continued, "I have secret and absolutely reliable information that there will be 15 new Mortar Boards. But, another equally re liable source told me there would be only 12, and I heard around somewhere else that 14 was the right number." "Try counting chairs Ivy Davy. It's simpler," we said. Donaldine pursued her topic, ignoring us com pletely. "And, I have been spending some time in a near-by sorority house, disguised like a closet I get awfully tired of people hanging their coats on my arms, but it works. There is a sophomore over there called Merry Ann Bassoon or something along that line, and boy, has she got things figured out If you got around like that girl, this would be a better column. Anyway, she says the big shots have all their little business settled already, even if they swear they haven't, and little things . like May Queens and attendants are just a, b c to her. In fact I am thinking of working for her instead of you." Having run out of breath, Donaldine took three deep gulps of air and added a parting shot " I bet you don't even know what the junior woman pass word, 'MLC means." At this point Donaldine was hit from behind by junior presidents of three women's organizations and was dragged forcibly from the room. "I don't think they are very happy these days," she managed to gasp as her heels disappeared around the comer. And neither do we! assigned to a combat zone. WARREN R. WATSON, has received his wings and commission as a second lieutenant in the AAF at Douglas Army Air Field, Ariz.
