Ring Down the Curtain
University Theater Players will begin their last run of the season
tonight in Temple with the mystery-drama "The Woman Who Came
to Stay."
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.

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!
