Page 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Thursday, January 6 1949 Weary of Inflation Days? Check These Depression Era Specials Way back in 1933 these were the days when one could buy a five course dinner for 35 cents and the Chancellor's salary was boing cut to $5000 a year. Looking through the cardboard bound, yellowing files of the old archive, the Daily Nebraskans of 1933, we caught a glimpse of an entirely different era. Student life seemed to run about the same prom queens were being elected, lost fraternity pins were still being sought via the classifieds, and the Kosmet Klub was claiming to have found a surprising array of talent for their Spring Show. Advertisement Stock But the advertisements in the Rag reflected the days when a penny was a penny and a dollar wfls really something. Greeks were considering turning over their houses to the University to make the liabilities match the . assets, but a few of the stalwart down town firms still ran an occasional ad begging for student trade. Miller's offered "top of the mode" spring suits (strangely sim ilar to 1948 styles) for the ex travagant price of $18.75. Men's suits were on sale at Simon's for $15.00 made of the "finest wools available." "Nicely tailored" shirts were offered for $1.00 and hand kerchiefs could be cleaned for 2c. Vaudeville Active At the Liberty Theatre, the Glenray Comedy company was presenting vaudeville. "The Mean est Woman in the World." Mati nees were 10c and "good night seats" ran as high as 35c. "Big Midnight Frolic" was on the agenda for the daring ones who would stay up till 10:45 on Sat urday night to get in on it. Not quite so impressive, but still quite exciting were the mo vies "Hot Pepper" was on at the Lincoln, admission, 25c. If you liked to dance, there was a dance tonight at the Pla-Mor. "Admis sion is only 25 cents per person, but dancing is free," the advert isement says. Roses for Milady Boyden's Pharmacy offered a pink rose to each of their dinner guests who came for their 35c five course dinner, consisting of a fruit cocktail, choice of roast young turkey, T-Bone steak, lamb chops, pork chops or pork tender loin, waldorf salad, asparagus tips, f reach fried or mashed potatoes, bev erage and dessert. A lot of in digestion for 35c. Roses for the best girl could be Union Plans First Of Platler Dances Marcia Pratt, chairman of the Union Dance committee, an nounced yesterday that the first J . r 4i nance oi me new program, a Platter dance, will begin at 9 p. m Friday m the Union ballroom. Selected records, refreshments and candlelit tables will be pro vided for the evening's entertain ment. Tickets may be purchased at 15 cents each in the Union of fice Friday evening. The dance will differ from past juke-box affairs in that the music has been selected for extra good dancing. Platter dances will al ternate with Dry Nite Clubs and Unionizers in 1949. Ron Clark Gets Elks Scholarship Ron Clark, Ravenna freshman, has been awarded a Lincoln Elks Lodge scholarship for $150. The award is given annually to a de serving outstate student. One of 65 frosh candidates to receive numerals, Clark saw a lot of actfon in a halfback slot on this year's squad. The 145 pound scat back was one of the lightest men to receive letters. The selection committee for the award was composed of Prof. R. D. Moritz, Stanley Barnett, Gregg McBride, Walt Dobbins and Tom Connelly.

"Mere words can't do this ..mart bracelet justice" said the ad about the metallic band gaily decorated in red and white with U of N in silver. Run Free Hose A new shipment of silk hose had just been received by a down town shop and each pair was go ing for 60c; but you could buy Kantrun "they simply can't!" hose for a dollar. But the biggest news item of the year was the mass meeting of all students who were greatly up in arms about the legislature's proposed cut in funds for the Uni versity. Everything from political influence in the educational sys tem to the fading away of the University in view of. smaller funds was read into the proposal. At any rate, the legislature fin ally rejected the idea after mass demonstrations by students and the University continued on its merry way. Theatre Closing Throws VJrench in Activity Plans The brisk action of campus of ficials in closing the doors of the Temple Theatre auditorium has thrown a wrench in the plans of many university groups. The opera, the Kosmet Klub Spring Revue and the remaining University Theatre productions of "Othello" and "I Remember Mama" are perhaps the three most important productions that have had to cancel or change their plans. Oust for Faust Fine Arts school director, Dr. Arthur Westbrook, has announced the definite cancellation of this year's opera choice, Gounod's "Faust." Stated Dr. Westbrook, "We have had to cancel the opera for this year as the Temple theatre auditorium is the only place in which to present it. Since choral work has not really begun, the chorus is entirely unaffected. However, some of the performers in the leading roles had been re hearsing their parts for several months. Future opera plans are also indefinite. We are moving our weekly 4 p.m., Wednesday re cital to the Social Sciences audi torium. This will be probabliy be the place for all weekly recitals until the end of the year." Sub for Klub Kosmet Klub president Norbert Tiemann has stated that the dra matic club's plans are indefinite. "However," stated Tiemann, "the Klub's Spring Revue will probably be produced in a downtown theatre." Previously, the Spring Revue was in the Temple. Delay for Play? Robert Black, director of the forthcoming University Theatre production, "Othello," has stated that the University Theatre is in the process of securing a stage for this year's future productions. Stated Black, "Plans are still in the forming stage, but we ex pect to arrive at a definite agree ment soon." K State Dishands NSA After Year After little more than a year's activity on the Kansas State cam pus, the National Student Associa tion has been disbanded. The ac tion wat taken at a recent Student Council meeting. The Council felt that the college wasn't getting full benefit of the organization, established as a Council sub-committee. NSA members also agreed with the Student Council's stand that "the college hadn't been deriving the benefit from the organization that the money put into it war ranted. Stated the Kansas NSA chair man, "This campus is taking care of its own problems by means of. SPC and other committiees and really dosen't need the help of a national organization."
