Play 'My Sister Eileen 9
BY DEDE MEYER.
The curtain will rise at 8 p. m.
sharp, in the Temple Theater next
'Wednesday night, Oct. 30th, on
the University Theatre's first pro
duction of the 46-47 season, "My
Sisten Eileen."
This delightful adaptation by
Fields and Chodorov, from Ruth
McKenny's laugh-filled best-sell-
er, concerns the story of two sis
ters, Ruth and Eileen, and the
amazing adventures that befall
them during their 12 month's stay
' in a tiny Greenwich village base
ment apartment. Eileen is the
pretty one, whose homey person
ality attracts passes from every
sane man from 18 to 65. Ruth is
plainer, with an ambition bent
towards writing.
Greenwich.
Thru the distracting apartment,
which they rent from boisterous
but sly Mr. Appopolous, whirls
the off-color life of the artists'
metropolis, Greenwich village.
Drunks and gamins, hucksters and
cops, all weave in and out, along
with the leering males who have
been given the address by a for
getful trollop who previously in
habited the place. Strange fungus
grows on the walls, and blasting
in a new subway brings frequent
and startling interruptions from
below.
The drama is climaxed when

Daily Papers
Now Available
To All Students
Patricia Lahr, Union director,
announced Saturday that daily
newspapers will be sold at the
cashier's desk in the Corn Crib.
"This is an experiment designed
to help students obtain papers
more easily," Miss Lahr stated,
and will be only a temporary
measure if they fail to sell. On the
other hand if the ones we have
contracted for prove to be insuf
ficient to meet-the demand we
will increase the number. It all
depends on student reaction," she
continued.
"Due to the increased number
of courses that require a day by
day account of current events and
in order to make papers more ac
cessible to the students we have
adopted this plan," Miss Lahr
aaid.
The Lincoln Star, the Lincoln
Journal, and the Oinaha World
Herald will be sold daily with the
exception of Sunday when the
Crib opening hours make it im
possible to sell the papers.

Saturday afternoon before a crowd
of 36,200 in the eleventh renewal
of the Husker-Indiana rivalry.
Each time the black-garbed
Hoosiers scored it was Benny
Raimondi who engineered the
action. Four times the swarthy
Brooklyn ace fired passes that
ended in touchdowns, and all af
ternoon riddled the U. N. defense.
Sam Vacinti produced the
Huskers' lone score when he
spotted Ed Nyden in the end
zone during: the third quar
ter and rifled a pass which the
co-captain speared just inside
the end zone limit. Vacanti
added the extra point and the
Huskers appeared to be in the
ball same.
At the time of the score the
Indiana squad was sporting a 14

when the half ended. However
after that Husker counter, the
