an instrument if you smile and
talk the Red Cross can use you,
too!
All University students with the
above talents (and any others)
are invited to take part in the
Red Cross College Unit's "Talent
Tryouts" tonight at 7 o'clock in

tertainers for local institutions
These include Veterans' hospital
the State Mental hospital, chil-
drens' homes and hospitals and
old peoples' homes.
All types of entertainers and
hosts and hostesses are needed
by the Red Cross for parties,
programs and special events at
the local institutions. These
events are sponsored regularly by
the campus organization.
Talent File
The "Talent Tryouts" are de
signed to build up a talent file
for the use of Red Cross com
mittee chairmen, George Wilcox,
Jean Bay. Gloria Larsen, Anne
Figge and Carla Renner. The
chairmen will call on entertainers
throughout the year for appear
ances under Red Cross sponsor
ship. At the tryouts tonight, each en
tertainer or group of entertain
ers will be scheduled for audi
tioning upon their arrival. Each
will be heard and rated by the
committee for use in an insti
tution. All Talent Needed
All types of student talent are
needed by the Red Cross be
cause of the range of the group's
entertainment program. Often
times, the group needs a group
to distribute Christmas- or Val
entine cards. Students may also
be requested to perform in audi
torium and ward shows, to play
ping pong or dance with patients,
or simply to visit a patient, an
invalid or convalescent.
Last fall, the units sponsored
a "Truth and Consequences" quiz
show at the Veterans hospital.
Members also distributed greet
ing cards on holidays throughout
the year.
Easter Party
In the spring, some 250 Uni
versity students took part in a
large auditorium Easter party at
the hospital. A "Crazy Hat" and
"Easter Queen" contest were held
during the show, made up of
student entertainment acts.
The Rod Cross also entertained
orphans and underprivileged
children last year at a St. Pat
rick's party and an Easter Egg
hunt.
A Red Cross Christmas project
at some fifteen local institutions
included caroling, parties, skits
and Christmas gifts. Organized
nouses on the campus cooperated
in the mass project.
The committee chairmen plan
an enlarged program of activi

Ski Enthusiasts
Will Organize
Ski enthusiasts on the campus
who are interested in forming a
ski club will meet Wednesday
night at 7 p.m. in Parlor X o
the Union.
The club, a new idea on cam
pus, is intended to promote skiing
by Nebraska students. Those or
ganizing the club have several
aims.
Experience Not Necessary
First they want to get as many
students as possible with skiing
experience interested. (Many stu
dents from Colorado and eastern
states have done extensive ski
ing). It is emphasized however,
that experience is not necessary
for those who would like to ski.
Secondly they plan to join the
American National Amateur Ski
Association. This will enable
members of the club to get special
rates when traveling to ski re
sorts, purchasing equipment, etc.
