Nebraska will be represented by veteran University debaters, Rodney Lindwall and Jack Solo mon. The two Scottish repre sentatives are David D. T. Reid, University of Glasgow and Mal com David Webster-Low, Uni versity of Edinburgh. The question to be debated is "That This House Looks With Favor on the Revival of Nation alism, in Europe and Asia." The Scottish team has been traveling the midwestern area debating colleges and universities since the last week of February. They are under the auspices of the Institute of International' Education. Last Debate Successful Sponsored at Nebraska by the University convocation commit tee, the debate is expected to draw a large audience. Accord ing to Prof. Donald Olson, of the speech department, last year's international debate, a British team from the University of Bristol and the University of Birmingham drew an overflow crowd at the Love library audi- Last Theatre Play Tryout Dates Told Tryout dates for the University Theatre's last play of the year, "School for Scandal," have been announced by Director Dallas Williams. Parts for eleven men and four women will be open and accord ing to Williams all students regularly enrolled at the Uni versity are eligible to try out for Richard B. Sheridan's most famous play. Trials will be held Wednesday, March 29, 3-5 p.m.; Thursday, March 30, 7-9 p.m.; and Friday, March 31, 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. All cast hopefuls will meet In room 201, Temple building. Said Williams, "We are urging all students interested in appear ing in a University Theatre play to try out for the play. We are looking for some new faces." Unfamiliar Style He explained, "The play will require a style of acting with which we are very unfamiliar. The cast, and setting" will carry the style of the period in which the play was written during the 18th century. Tryouts will put great stress on poise, and ease of movement." Williams added. "This play," emphasized Wil liams, "will be entirely different and excruciatingly funny. It has been acclaimed by many critics of drama as the greatest comedy during the 18th century," he said. Gossip Satire There is not a serious moment in the play, which is actually a satire on gossip mongering. All action of, the comedy takes place in the London of Sheridan's day. "Participators will art as peo ple from the sophisticated side of London's life," said Williams. "People of the type portrayed lived by their wits, in those days," commented the director. Rit7 Shaw, a nast star of the theatre, who took the leading role of Joan in "Joan of Lor raine," has been engaged to serve as diction coach an ex pert is needed so that the British dialogue may be presented cor rectly. Miss Shaw has just returned from Germany alter being there for over two years. New Mexico Paper Angrv At 'Polities' At the University of New Mex ico, the withdrawing of an in structor candidate from the race for the city commission was the cause for an angry, editorial in the Daily Lobo, campus news paper. The candidate, a member of the department of government and the division of government research, formally withdrew from the race because, she said, of dif ficulty of campaign financing for people of modest income who do not desire to use public office for personal gain, and of voters' apathy at election time. Previously a state senator had threatened to work for a cut in the university budget if protes tors were not forbidden to taltc active interest in politics. Candidates Record The editorial stated that the candidate had a record of public administration and service that -would easily rival the best any of the other candidates could put up. It lamented the fact that she was an idealist of the type of Jefferson and Lincoln and there fore believed that democracy meant the right of the people to rule themselves. The professor, according to the editorial, did not give up when she learned that the senator would cut the university budget if she ran against him, but did when she found that a certain auto dealer was willing to spend a huge sum of money to "get the right boys into office." The real tragedy, stated the editorial, was that the people of the state do not realize the trem endous power that is in their hand".. torium. It was necessary to broadcast the debate to a.i ad joining room to take care of the crowd. Both members of the Scottish team are advanced graduate stu dents, and according to Mr. Ol son, "Mr. Reid is ex-president of the Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist1 Association and should be well versed on the subject of nationalism." Chairman of the debate will be Eloise Paustian, president of the local chapter of Delta Sigma Rho, national forensic society.

'Tobaccoland' Shown to Bizatl Classes "The New Tobaccoland, U. S. A.," a thirty-minute film by the Chesterfield company, was shown to students of three Business Administration classes at the University this week. The picture depicts the story of a southern tobacco planter and his family as they move through the cycle of a tobacco year. It shows the process of tobacco growing from planting to curing and the combination of tobaccos that go into modern cigarettes. "Tobaccoland, U. S. A." was produced by Louis De Roche mont who has produced such films as "Fighting Lady," "Boom erang," and "Lost Boundaries." It was filmed in full color and graphically tells the story of to bacco, from the rich farms on which it is grown, to its u:e in a product that brings pleasure to more than fifty million Ameri cans. Ti;p Chicngo Tribune reviewed the picture as "a picturesque por trayal of the countryside, crop cultivation and care that create the modern cigarette." Students in classes in market ing, advertising and geography saw the film this week. The showing ot the film was made possible by Chesterfield campus representatives Ted Gunderson, Joel Bailey and Keith O'Bannon.

NU Profs Uphold Lattimore Doubt 'Validity' Of Spy Charges Two Nebraska University pro fessors who are acquainted with Owen Lattimore, named as Rus sia's No. 1 spy in the United Stales by Sen. Joseph McCarthy, have expressed surprise at the charges made against him. Dr. Eugene Anderson, history professor and Robert G. Bow man, geography professor, have expressed doubt as to the validity of the charges. Lattimore's name was brought up in connection with the current Senate subcom mittee investigation of Com munist activity in the United States. The investigation was touched off by Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. Anderson worked for the gov ernment during the war, and from 1945 to 1947 was assistant chief of the division of cultural co-operation in the state depart ment. Although he is not person ally acquainted with Lattimore, Anderson said that mutual friends of both he and Lattimore have only the highest praise for the far eastern affairs expert. Bowman has known Lattimore socially for some years. The two men met at the time that Latti more served as head of the In stitute of Pacific Relations. "Pure Moonshine." Lattimore replied to Mc Carthy's charges Monday with a cable labelling them "pure moon shine." Lattimore's attorney's have announced that they will file a rebuttal soon, since Latti more is now in Afghanistan. "I would let Lattimore answer his critics," Bowman said. "I feel that he will be able to do it very effectively." "I know Dr. Lattimore person ally," Bowman said, "and I know him through his publications. I can say quite honestly that I find it quite difficult, if not impossible to believe that he is in any way connected with com munist activities or that his sympathies lie with communism. The charge is utterly fantastic as far as I can judge from Mr. Lattimore's professional rep utation," Anderson said. Montgomery Lecturer. Lattimore lectured at the Uni versity in March, 1948 as the second recipient of the Mont gomery lectureship. He discussed the struggle between the Chi nese nationalists and communists in his three lectures. He charged the Chaing-Kai-Shek government with "inept bungling, both militarily and po litically." Several State depart ment officials have since made the same charges. Lattimore also praised the Chinese communists for the fight they made against 1he Japanese before and during the last war. Industries Fluctuate WithWeathev Weather is a big factor in the Nebraska industries as well as in agriculture. That is a fact shown by a de partment of Business Research survey released by Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, chairman of the depart ment. The survey showed that there is a 7.1 per cent fluctuation be tween the lowest employment month of February and the high month of August. The study covered the 1939-47 period. Construction companies show ed the greatest fluctuation of the state's industries. This is due to the inability of companies to do construction work during the winter months. Other industries with high sea sonal layoff rates were food, iron and steel, and stone, clay and glass manufacturers. Nebraska has five industries with practically no seasonal lay-, offs. They are petroleum prod ucts manufacturers (mainly re fineries), printing and publishing firms, transportation, wholesale firms and furniture manufactur ers. The study was based on figures from the unemployment insur ance system of the state which covers about 60 per cent of all industries. The biggest excep tion is the railroads.

The University Theater pre sented a broad interpretation of Kaulman and Hart's satire of the talkies, "Once In a Lifetime," Monday evening. At I he Ne braska Theater. The comedy, an exaggerated version of movie land's transition from silence to sound, at times was handled quite well by the large cast, im personating typical Hollywood stereotypes. The best acting job of the eve ning was turned in by veteran Abe Katz. As the slow-witted but very likeable character of George, he displayed the needed sprightliness in movement and words and at times seemed to be the entire show. From the time of beini; destitute in New York to the later scenes where he has become the shining light of Hollywood, Katz perfectly main tained his boyish innocence and delightful stupidity. As the two other members of the migrating trio, Mike Shana han and Lois Nelson tried to give the play the sparkle and life for which it calls. During a good percentage of the play, es pecially in the latter scenes, they were successful. The first min utes of the play, however, lacked certain spontaneity and ease. Miss Nelson was at her best in the final two acts, where, as a self-styled voice instructor for the movie colony, she made ex cellent use of the sarcasm and wit her part demanded. Morgan Should Ease Marilyn Morgan was very pleasing s the would-be ac tress. Her ease in acting and general understanding of the part helped add to the play a natural movement. Bill Line and Edward Prado, ilthough displaying an idea of thiir parts as dialect-speaking exerutives, at time failed to bring out the spirit of their parts be cause of too-extreme broadness and a nek of variation. The in flections Jivariably were handled quite well, the high intensity needing tonng down in spots. Like many of the other Kaufman-Hart comeiies, "Once In a Lifetime" was ml without its share of rich, snail character roles. The best job in uiacting one of these smaller parts was done by Clare Denton, the well-paid writer with nothing to write. Denton deftly became tre bitter but always witty playvrght. It was one of the best characteriza tions of the year. Also very enjoyable was Twla Walker, who, as columnist Hekn Hobart, was a typical gusher cf Hollywood gossip. Her very ob vious affectations gave a needed lift to some of the earlier secies. Small but Good Probably the smallest pa-t of the play belonged to Joe Koore who played an experienced sigfl- Alpha Zela Pljns Member Smoker Alpha Zeta, Ag men's honor ary, will hold a get acqjainted smoker for sophomore and junior men whose scholastic average qualifies them for membe-ship in the organization. The smoker will be held at 7:30 p. m. Thursday at the Ag Union- lounge. Membe-ship in the honorary is limited to a few sophomores and juniors who are in the upper two-fifth of their class. According to the commit tee in charge, however, since the invitation list may be incomplete, any student who believis he is in the tipper portion of his class is urged to attend. Robert Raun, Wayne Niclson and Merwyn French are in charge of the smoker. A convocation and b; nquet are planned in conjunction with the initiation in April. According to Alpha Zeta Chancellor Merle Stalder, the guest speaker for the convocation will be some noted Alpha Zeta alum outside of Nebraska. Jr. AEi-Sar-Ben fo Dance Colleges Still Bar Milwrit V EntrCCS J Although college students are overwhelmingly opposed to the quota system, it is still being used by many colleges to bar entrees on the basis of race and religion, charges Arnold Forster, Civil Rights Director of the Anti Defamation League, in the issue of Look magazine released Tues day. Administrators of liberal arts colleges questioned were unani mous in condemning the quota system, yet study of the applica tion forms of 518 colleges dis closed that over 92 percent con tained at least one question which could lead to discrimina tion. According to surveys just com pleted, only one out of ten seniors prefer colleges which discrimin ate. Almost 80 percent of the non-Jewish seniors are willing to work beside members of minority groups. A growing number of students did not want to set any limits short of inter mairiage to their association with minorities. removcr. Appearing only once, his interpretation of the unpre tentious role never-the-less was a noat success in becoming the character. Others who showed up quite favorably included: Jane MacCuaig and Janis Crilly who gave hilarious per formances as two glamour-girl harpies from the silent screen. Dennis Vernon who, thru clever character transition, perfectly embodied a catastrophe of Holly wood mis-typecasting. "Once In a Lifetime" will be given again Tuesday and Wednes day evenings at 8 p. m. Ag Countryman Magazine Larger The Cornhusker Countryman, monthly college of agriculture publication, is out this month with a larger 28-page magazine. Pegged the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben issue, it presents a two-page spread of pictures and material concerning the next Saturday show. On the editorial page, Country man editor Eleanor Erickson ap plauds Ag Exec activities regard ing the proposed Ag tennis courts and is censurious toward the pro posed teacher evaluation plan. And of course, the Ag Union situation is hashed and rehashed. Dean Lambert, in his "Dean's Corner," pats the Missouri Basin development plan on the back. He believes that the success of "Mo" development directly pro portional to the enthusiastic par ticipation of farm families. The Countryman may be pur chased at the magazine's office in the Ag Union or at a booth in Ag Hall. It sells for 15 cents a copy.
