Students May
Submit Queries
To Engineers
Any student who wishes to
submit questions to be answered
by members of the engineer's
forum scheduled for Mar. 5 must
place them in boxes provided in
the engineering buildings before
Feb. 25. .
The forum, which will be spon
sored by the engineers' executive
board, is to be held in room 206
of Richards laboratory at 7:30
p. m. Roy M. Green, dean of the
engineering college, will discuss
the questions which are submit
ted. Because the university's enroll
ment has been increased this year,
the department heads have been
unable to become acquainted with
all of the problems confronting
students. Members of this forum
will attempt to bring forth pro
posed answers as well as point
out difficulties.
Dean Green has expressed a be
lief that difficulties may be cor
rected if they are brought to the
attention of the proper authorities
in an annual forum.
Questions may be of a general
Informative, type, such as, "Is en
gineering to be changed to a five
year course?" or "How long will
it be before a new electrical en
gineering building or a hydraulic
laboratory is built?"
No question submitted later
than Tuesday, Feb. 25, will be
considered for discussion.
Leads In 'Pagliacci' Acclaimed
By First Night Opera Audience
BY SAM WARREN.
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.

University Singers turned in a

75MPH Winds
Cause Damage
To Merchants
Leaving students hanging on to
their hats and racing after books
and papers, a 75 mile per hour
wind roared across the campus
and thru the streets of Lincoln
early yesterday morning. While no
damage was reported on campus,
downtown merchants suffered
heavily as the gale smashed in
store windows and damaged mer
chandise. Main casualties in the univer
sity area were limited to tipped
over mail boxes and several tele
phone and power lines blown
down. Students in nine o'clock
classes reported noticeable effects
in some of the older buildings,
particularly in University Hall
where the wind was said to have
created the appearance of the
walls swaying slightly.
Wind Speed.
Local weather records show
that the winds had a prevailing
speed of 60 to 63 miles per hour
with gusts carrying the velocity
up to the near-record 75. 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. Simon's and Mangel's
both suffered damage to the "is
land" windows at the fronts of
their stores, most of the breakage
coming on the west side.
Cornhusker
Today is the last day that
Cornhusker payments may be
finished up at $2.75, according
to Business Manager Dean
Skekan. After today, the pay
ment will be $3.00.
