The school of fine arts produc tion of "Pagliacci" on the Temple Theater stage last night proved again that Italian opera can be a good show as well as a collection of high caliber hit tunes. Out standing principals in the leading roles plus a large chorus and an alert orchestra combined for a production that was, on the whole, more than satisfying. When baritone Cleve Genzlinger returned for a curtain call at the end of Tonio's "Prologue," which opened the action, he had already established himself as the aud ience's favorite. He has a certain richness of quality that commands 1 the llstner's attention. Genzlin ger's entire performance as the ugly clown who was tauntingly spurned by the actress Nedda, was excellent, especially as the villainy of his character became more apparent. In the role of the leading clown who must carry on the show de spite a broken heart, Richard Kou pal sang Canio's arias with a studied placement that during episodic climaxes rose to mo ments of power. Naturally enough, the familiar aria "Vesti la guibba," was well-received. The feminine lead, Nedda, was the goal of the publication board in adding to the staff a special feature editor. Readers will have a better knowledge of future plans of the fine arts department, of projects such as operas, plays, and other student productions and stories of general interest. Applications Applications may be obtained from Dr. Swindler at the school of journalism in university hall. The deadline is Wednesday noon, Feb. 12, and applications must be turned in at Dr. Fellman's office, 108 social science building. Interviews will be held at 4:00 on Thursday, Feb. 13, and stu dents must report to Dr. Fell man's of lice at that liuie. Salaries for assistant business manager and special feature editor will be $20 and $10, respectively. Kosmet Show Scripe Contest Closes Today Today is the deadline for stu dents to submit manuscripts for the Kosmet Klub spring review. .All entries should be turned in to Fred Teller, president of the men's dramatic organization, by 5 p. m. if it is to be considered elig ible for the $50 that will be awarded the writer of the winning script. Scripts submitted should be adaptable for presentation" by an all male cast, should contain a ponychorus scene and must in clude songs with original words and music. Authors Retain Rights. Authors of the plays will retain full rights to show except that the Kosmet Klub will maintain the right to be the first to produce the winning musical in its spring review, the exact dates of which have not yet been announced. The reviews, which have not appeared on the university cam pus since pre-war years, have always been overwhelmingly suc cessful, according to Teller, who has been active in various phases of dramatics thruout the univer sity, and it is expected that this year's production will bring back year's production will return with all of its glorious color and humor. ably handled by Margaret Shelley whose soprano voice displayed a pointed, high luster quality heard to best advantage in the higher register. Nedda 'a difficult "Bird Song" in the middle of the first act was well Jone as was the love duet with Silvio which followed it closely. But it was in the sec ond act that Milss Shelley pulled her best stunt. There Nedda plays the part of Columbine in the traveling troupe's comic show, "Pagliacci." Coy, and not a little saucy, Columbine's bantering proved to be the real clowning of the evening and drew considerable laughter from the sell-out aud ience. Dale Ganz as Silvio and Robert Rouch as Peppe, the Harlequin, completed an excellent cast. Mr. Ganz has a resonant baritone of a brilliant color that made the love duet with Nedda one of sev eral high spots of the show. And as for highlights, Mr. Rouch's "Harlequin Serenade," sung in a vibrant, soft-toned tenor, was certainly one of them and de served the applause it received. The more than 100 voices of the University Singers turned in a creditable rendition of the several See OPERA, Page 2, CoL J UNCOLN 8, NEBRASKA Refunds for second semester subscriptions to the AWGWAN magazine will be made the week of February 10-14, In clusive.

Advance forecasts tell of dropping temper atures and snow flurries which are predicted to come to the Ne braska area this morning. Roaring in from the northwest, the winds did the greatest amount of damage to O street stores such as Magee's Ben Simon and Sons and Mangel's. The Magee estab lishment reported two eight by sixteen feet plate glass windows broken and much of the window display's merchandise torn by flying glars.
