Asks Doormen
At Union Party
A toy or ten cents will be the
price of admission at the regular
juke box dance jointly sponsored
by the Union and War council
tonight in the Union ballroom.
If every student will do his

might be disappointed, the "Toys
for Joy" box in the front hall
of the Union will soon be filled.
Coeds may help to make this
Christmas a joyful one for the
poor children of Lincoln by sacri

Last year the organized houses
who had Christmas parties con
tributed their ten cent toys to the
campus toyland headquarters.
They are urged to repeat the plan
again this year.

There were funnier lines in the
play than those of Mrs. Yoder, but
Lucy Hapeman has timing, the
essential quality of a good comedy
actress.
The role of Papa gave Carl
Ziegler a chance to show his dra
matic ability. As the cruel, old
Mennonite farmer Zeigler was
convincing, more than that he
made the audience dislike ths
character he portrayed.
