Moribund Theater."
Author Flavin, whose book,
"Journey in the Dark," his third
novel, won the $10,000 Harper
award for the best novel of 1943-
44, will thus return to his first
interest in literature the theater.
He had arrived late at writing
as a profession. For a brief
period after leaving college he
tried his hand at short stories,
but abandoned his efforts to enter
his family's manufacturing busi

He was in his late thirties when
he again turned to writing, this

he had three plays on Broadway

6 A Hunting We Must Go,9 Say
Girls in Preparation for Ball
BY JIDGE MASON.
"Girls, ahunting we must go!"
shouts Jo Martz, dashing out of
the Nebraskan office to make
preparations for the coming Mor
tar Board "Snowball." There's
nothing like a turn-about party
to raise the morale of war-time
coeds, according to Jo.
There's something special about
this party, though, because in
keeping up with this age of blind
dates the MBs have instigated a
special device so no one will be
disappointed everyone will be
wearing a mask! There's one little
catch to it, however. The coeds
have to foot the bill, including
corsages, transportation and what
ever the coy date wishes to eat,
and rare is the man who orders
just a coke at refreshment time.
Wear Masks.
Coeds can buy masks for them
selves and their dates Thursday
and Friday of this week and also

statement regarding Jones, now on

Point, followed a four hour joint
session of the Board of Intercol

Regents in the Union yesterday
afternoon.
When questioned as to the uni
versity's moral obligation to take
Jones back even after his contract
expires, Shaw stated that the point
was not discussed in the joint
meeting, since members of neither
board wished to bind future
boards by taking a definite stand
on the matter now.
"Thore is no disposition on the
part of the regents nor the athletic
board members to deal unfairly
with faculty members now in
service," Shaw stated. "The uni
versity will continue its policy of
recognizing all moral and con
tractual obligations to any per
