Offer Receives Fifth Military Award The recent award of the bronze star for "heroic service" topped the list of honors that Lt. Royal A. Offer, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Offer, Hickman, has received within the last few months. Last fall he was awarded the silver star for gallantry in action in France, August 11. In Novem ber he received a purple heart for wounds received in action. In December he was awarded the ex pert infantryman's combat badge and December 11, he was given a battlefield commission which changed his rank from technical sergeant to second lieutenant. The bronze star citation relates: "Enroute to the company com mand post, accompanied by his platoon sergeant, Lieutenant in fer, a platoon leader, observed a group of approximately 20 enemy soldiers who, after having pene trated our lines, demanded the surrender of the occupants of the command post among whom was the company commander. Without regard for his own safety, Lieu tenant Offer opened fire upon the enemy group that had launched its attack intent upon retaking the high ground it had lost the pre vious morning. In the fire fight that ensued, two enemy soldiers were taken prisoners and the re mainder forced to withdraw." Lieutenant Offer is a former student at the university. His wife now lives in Omaha.

'Room Service' Greets Spring With Hilarious Performance WALLY BECKER A fast curtain rang down last night on the fastest play of the current season as the University Players greeted spring with a light and sparkling ROOM SERVICE, which played to a delighted au dience. The room was something right out of Vanity Fair, and it was served to a fun-bent audience by a lusty and light-toed cast. Bill Swanson threw every ruse in the book at the violent Carl Zeigler, who chewed the rug in furious attempt to throw Swanson out of the Whiteway hotel. Broadway Bum Goaded by the dim-witted blun- derings of Broadway bum Fred Teller and prodded in the ribs by country hick Dewey Ganzel, the responsive house called that setae best in which there were a mock death and services over the quite warm corpse of Dewey Ganzel, which responded to stomach stim ulation in a most remarkable manner. Bill Swanson, as Gordon Miller, parripH th weight of the Der- formance on very capable shoul ders, and the bomDastic wan .eig- ler ORrly roared the audience out nf their spats. So realistic and well played was country bumpkin Leo Davis that the hay-seeds lair ly sprouted behind the sun-burnt pars nf paneling Dewev Ganzel. who at times swept the show along by himself. Bunion Characterization Marvin Bowhay's characteriza tion of Bunion was refreshingly free of affectation; at all times he was completely at ease. John Lind At Mills college, the members of fourth floor, Mills hall, are sporting clever black and green match folders with "Fourth Floor" printed on them in gold. One unknowing freshman made the mistake of asking for a light, and then exclaimed, "What's this, a new night club?" apparently stepped right out of a Daguerrotype, and Jim Frans brief appearances were well done. Special mention should be giv en Rnh SmarHirk's Russian Sasha. which fairly reeked of caviar and vodka. Geoffrey Gass kow-towed all over the stage, and the bounc ing antics of Avrum Bondarin as the little doctor firmly established Bondarin as a genuine cnaracier actor. Barbara Jo Jenkins and B. J. Holcomb, though grossly outnumbered, were far from out-acted. It mav have been the the spring fever nr it miffht have been the epicacy, but whatever it is, ROOM SERVICE has it.
