The Fall Season
Monday the University Theater begins its annual sea
son ticket sale which will run until Saturday. This year
the group wants a short, snappy ticket drive, with no
month-long begging on the Tassels' knees.
Enthusiasm seems to be the keynote of this years
dramatic group. Faculty director Williams started off with
a bang, and is giving the group a sustained program of in
terest. The back-stage crews, as well as the actors and
actresses, are larger in student participation this year than
ever before, and are all working with concentrated skill to
make this season of plays the best yet.
The five plays this season include such "greats as
"The Wingless Victory" by Maxwell Anderson, "Papa Ts
All" by Patterson Green, "The Skin of Our Teeth" by
Thornton Wilder, "Angel Street" by Patrick Hamilton, and
"Kiss and Tell" by F. Hugh Herbert.
UN's turnout to their annual winter play season this
year should be an indication that the university is getting
back to a peacetime basis, with the old interest in peace
time arts.
The Man on the Mountain , .
AUPs mountain climber in the Union is apparently
stuck not quite half-way up to the summit. With only a
week to go, the fall drive of the All-University Fund com
mittee needs $1,319.50 more from the campus.
This is the only drive to which students will be asked
to contribute until next spring.' Money donated will be
divided with $400 going to the Servicemen's Edition of the
"Nrhmskfln. $1,000 tn the War Fund and Community Chest,
and $1,000 to the World Student Service Fund. In all, 46
relief organizations will receive the benetit ot eacn stu
dent's contribution.
Thia wlr is AITF's last chance to eet the man un the
mountain. It must be might uncomfortable for him just to
be hanging in mid-air:
From Dean Boyles ...
In a letter written in Omaha on her return trip from
Chicago, the dean of women told UN women that they
would be given 12:15 p. m. permission to hear Harry James,
who plays Monday, Oct. 23rd in the coliseum. As a result
there were Great Celebrations in all organized houses, and
Great Toasts of Gratitude at all dinner tables: "For she's a
jolly, good fellow . . ."

Feb. 15, 16, and 17. Quoting
Time magazine, "The Skin of Our

The last two productions will
be "Angel Street," a mystery
thriller by Patrick Hamilton,
scheduled lor March 22, 23, and

comedy, "Kiss and Tell," writ

presented April 25, 26, and 27.

Lcs Said The Better
By Let Glotfeky
Cant. "EDDIE" SCHWARTZKOFF, var
sity football star in the "good old days",
is with a chemical composite company
somewhere in the Pacific. He describes the
thrill of eettiner a copy of the servicemen s
edition of the Nebraskan when he's 6,000
miles from UN as "best expressed by com
paring it to being in the starting line up
against Minnesota." He also enclosed a
voluntary donation of $5 to help continue
the servicemen s edition. And that s a real
compliment!
He continues: Am certain that students
presently attending our University are per
forming to the utmost of their abilities and
are not guilty of taking the great privilege
for granted. Following are some or the
questions often visiting my mind:
Is our enrollment holding its own.'
How is the campus beautification progress
ing? Are we losing many of our professors
to various governmental agencies?" So you
see, even tho our former students are many
miles from their desired and loved base of
operations, they are highly concerned with
present status and welfare of our university.
Putting in words the feeling of educators
and public-minded Americans everywhere,
Capt. Schwartzkoff continues:
The universities of our country are con
fronted with a tremendous responsibility in
discovering and educating, first the United
States, then other countries, to their as
signed obligations in the world as it is today
and will be tomorrow."
Pfc. ALBERT ' JOHNSON, and Pfc.
We hereby apologize a really humble,
down-on-your-knees apology. Seems as if
we said in an earlier column that chances
for going to Harry James were mighty slim.
This was the impression we got from Doro
thy Carnahan, AWS president, who also
said that the special late permission had to
come from Dean Verna Boyles' office.
In the Nebraskan today there is a story
very defnitely giving all of the AWS regu
lated coeds permission to stay out until
12:15 onthat particular Monday night. The
whole trouble is that we, and too many
others, too, just don't give Mrs. Boyles a
chance. "Butch" Hemphill, AWS prexy
last year, said many times that Dean Boyles
was the fairest person imaginable, and that
seems a good idea to hang on to. The dean
of women, no matter who she is, has the
toughest job on any campus, a job in which
she cannot possibly please everyone about
everything. That, too, is a good thing to
remember.
Anyway, thank you Mrs. Boyles, and
after this we'll try not to jump to conclusions.

Miss Lee Returns !
From Washington
WAC Conference
After serving on a personal ad
visory committee of 22 profes
sional women for the WAC to
Gen. George Marshall, Miss Mabel
Lee, director of physical educa
tion for women, returned last
week from Washington, D. C.
Planned to give the general the
civilian women's viewpoint of the
WAC program, the committee
was presented an over-all picture
of the WACs in informal talks
given by war department heads
in Washington and by every army
officer who directs the work of
the corps.
"Each department was so ex
acting in their information, we
felt that every step had been
taken to acquaint us with the
complete WAC program," said
Miss Lee in speaking of the CO'
operation and sincerity shown in
the meetings.
Following the conference, Miss
Lee, with three of the other com
mittee members were flown m

mittee will be held in January

further plans for a more advanced
and complete schedule.
