By Actors' Lab Students

AL SAGE
"Claudia."
PLAYS THE PART OF DAVID in Rose Franken's
Betty Schultz, who plays the title role, is pictured
above in four Claudia-like poses.
By Norm Lerer
Rose Franken's "Claudia" will
be presented tonight in the Tem
ple theater at 7:30 p.m. as the
second of three productions being
given by the Actor's Lab, an edu
cational medium for university
students who are enrolled in
classes of Acting and Directing.
The story of the play, as ex
plained by Betty Schultz, who
plays the title role, revolves
around a "mentally immature
woman who grows up through
the realization that she must meet
life on its own terms ... a reali-"
zation, brought in great part, by
the discovery that her mother
has a very short time to live."
Sage as David
Claudia is married to David
(Al Sage), a promising young
architect. Living on a farm out
side of New York, they have
made the place attractive and
have hired a middle aged couple
as caretakers. The caretakers,
Bertha and Fritz, are playod by
June Gast and William Reuter.
Mrs. Brown, Claudia's mother,
is played by Lorma Bullock. Mrs.
Brown is a gentle woman, wtih
an unexpected dash of humor,
and a code of robust contempts,
who is no more happy over the
state of affairs Claudia's im
maturity than is David.
Jerry Seymour, played by Bill
Wiseman, is a young British
author who drops into the David

Olscn Discuss
Education Plan
A four-fold educational pro
gram was outlined by C. Arild
Olsen, representative cf the ed
ucational and religious branch of
military government in Berlin,
Germany, when he met with Dr.
G. W. Rosenlof Monday.
Olsen and Dr. Rosenlof dis
cussed the exchange of students
as well as professors, the recom
mending of individuals for ap
pointment for positions in Ger
many and Austria for the next
two years and the possibilities of
the university setting up an edu
cational sponsorship in Germany
and Austria.
As a part of a special edu
cational mission to this country,
Olsen has had conferences with
officials of Northwestern, the Uni
versity of Minnesota, the Univer
sity of Chicago and the Univer
sity ol Nebraskav
and Claudia Naughton household
one day quite unexpectedly, and
who is amused and slightly per
plexed by Claudia's boldness, a
pose brought about by her hus
band's complete lack of jealousy
and failure to recognize that
Claudia has any sex appeal.
Cast.
It is Claudia's discovery that
she is to become a mother fol
lowed by the realization of her
mother's failing condition that
makes Claudia acquiesce to the
demands that living makes upon
her.
Frances White plays the part
of Julia Naughton, a friend of
Claudia, who introduces Madame
Daruschka .Lorene Novotny), a
successful opera star, to the
Naughton family. A good deal
of robust humor is supplied by
Madame Daruschka, who is given
to sudden impulses of clowning,
a little like an "overgrown New
foundland dog," as the authoress
describes her.
"Claudia" is directed by
Blanche Duckworth and Rex
Coslor.
Criminologist
Makes Clear
News Report
Frof. James Reinhardt, social
psychologist and criminologist, has
corrected the statements said to
have been made by him in yes
terday's Daily Nebraskan.
Inaccurately quoted as saying
that it was the upper crust who
were the war-makers, Prof. Rein
hardt reports that his statement
made at the regional conference of
UNESCO was against the proposal
that "radio and press news be
slanted to the common people
rather than lo the upper crust."
Reinhardt's opposition was made
in two steps: that the news not
be slanted toward anyone, that
the press and radio release news
as it is, that all the people should
be educated to news printed as
facts; and that the common peo
ple are not alone in their need for
education, that it is sometimes the
ideals of the upper crust that are
misdirected and guide us in the
ways of war and peace.
LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA
Board Turns
Down Humor
Mag Appeal
An appeal to the Publications
board for the restoration of a uni
versity humor magazine met with
defeat yesterday because no proof
was submitted that there is a def
inite campus interest in a publi
cation of this type.
A committee composed of Joan
Fankhauser, John Slothower and
Jerry Johnston submitted a dum
my magazine to the board for ap
proval. The plan was to include
a representation of the entire
campus thru pictures, articles and
creative writing in the form of
short stories, poems and humorous
essays.
To Circulate Petition.
Since the Board vetoed the pro
posal, the committee has decided
to turn to the student body for
backing. A petition will be circu
lated thruout the organized houses,
co-ops and dorms. For students
living in Lincoln a petition will be
posted in the Daily Nebraskan of
fice. The petition is to be used only
to prove to the Bward that students
want a college magazine returned
to the campus and the persons
signing it will not be under any
obligation to subscribe to the mag
azine. Workers Needed.
Any students interested in sub
mitting material to be used in the
publication may contact any of the
three committee members. Persons
interested in working on the busi
ness staff may also submit their
names to the committee.

Nebraska People to Make
Effort to Establish Peace
Nebraska people are going to
make a realistic effort to help es
tablish world peace.
The people, in this case, are the
housewife, the business man. the
teacher, the farmer or rancher,
the editor, and the many others
who make up a community. None
will be professional diplomats, nor
"international experts."
'It may seem like a gamble, to
some people, but what can we
lose," says Dr. Frank Sorenson of
the University of Nebraska. "The
scientists tell us we now have a
bomb many time more powerful
than the type used at Bikini; that
another war may denude much of
the civilized world of people."
Co-ordinator.
Dr. Sorenson was co-ordinator
of the Nebraska delegation of over
75 persons rho attended the
mountain-plains roeional confer
ence of the United Nations educa
tional, cultural and scientific or
ganization held in Denver last
week end. It was the first regional
conference held in the U. S. About
1,800 persons from Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska. Now
Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wy
oming attended.
Nebraskans attending the con
ference will be the nucleus of a
state organization to be formed
under the direction of Chancellor
R. G. Gustavson of the University
of Nebraska. He is one of 99 per
sons on the rati anal UNESCO
commission.

plained. Operation.
UNESCO'S program in Ne
braska will operate pretty much
in communities, according to Dr.
Sorenson. It will seek world peace
by attempting to persuade Ne
braska people, through their own

the P.T.A., Rotary, Lions,
farm groups and professional so
cieties, that "peace begins at
home."
"But this program won't appeal
to starry-eyed visionaries. It will
consist of such simple things as
discouraging people from calling
the Chinese 'Chinks.' which is but
one example of how a belittling
word can create a prejudice
against a great people." Dr. Sor
enson says. "We also hope to en
eourape more organizations to help
restore education in war deva

and pencils abroad.
Tear Talk.
"But mainly we hope to get
more people talking about peace,
as remote as it seems, instead of
war. UNESCO won't be a cure-all.
and its success won't be measured
in agreements between govern
ments. We hope to contribute to
peace and security by promoting
ro-oprratinn among p?ain citizens
of all cations through education,
science and culture, snd the free
exchange of information."
