Highlights from the past half,
century will be presented Surv
; day in "I Can Almost Hear It
Now," Alpha Epsilon Rho's mu'
sical revue.
Written and produced by Gay-
lord Marr, the two-hour show
i will include humorous comment
: on the fads of yesterday, as well
' as music which had everyone's
toes tapping in years gone by.
The program will begin at 7:30
p.m. in the Union ballroom. Ad
mission is free.
Bob Vollmer will underscore
the entire presentation with key
board improvisations, ranging
from music which sounds like u
: 1900 player piano to that typical
of a sophisticated cocktail
lounge.
Not Serious Commentary
Considerable research has gone
Into the preparation of this re-
' vue. It is by no means intended
ss serious commentary. Rather it
is hoped to give the students who
ere too young to remember much
of the past half century a sense
of surprise, delight and discov
ery. Many students may be like
Patsy Dutton, who appears in
song specialties throughout the
revue. When told that her Girl-on-the-Police
Gazette costume
would include a feather boa,
Miss Dutton asked, "What's
that?"

Dr. Ralph Bunche, who is

He was awarded the Toppan
prize for the best social science
dissertation of 1934. His topic
was "French Administration in
Togoland and Dahomey." Since
he was personally dissatisfied

fender award in 1945 for his
work on race relations. He
worked in conjunction With
Ounnar Myrdal. Swedish sociolo
gist, on a book "An American

200 'Staters'
Attend First

More than 200 former Boy and
Girl Staters renewed former ac
quaintances and recalled hap
penings of former "States" at the

Girls' State Saturday evening.
The former Staters heard
greetings by Mrs. John Curtiss,

Judge E. F. Carter, president of
1950 Boys' State; and Pon Chinn,
Governor of 1948 Cornhusker

A skit entitled, "Lefterip Ma,"
was given by members of for
mer Girls' State, and a skit pre
senting familiar scenes of Boys'
State was given by former Boy

Rosenqur-t and" E 1 d o n Schafer
were in charge of the skits.

Erickson, 1947, University stu
dent; Pon Chinn, 1948, Univer

An annual event sponsored by
the Big Sister organization, the
style show will be presented a
a conclusion to the 1950 Charm
School sessions which have
taken place throughout the year.
Spring into summer fashions
will be modeled by the -oeds in
three sections of the shiw. All
clothing will be Xurniuhed by
Hovland-Swanson department
store.
A free ticket to the Arthur
Murray dance studio will be
given to each c(,ed attending the
show.
f
prior to World War I are
sketches lampooning suffraget
tes, the "now-I-h a v e-y o u-in-
my-power-proud-beauty" melo
drama which was the theater
fare at that time, a hectic ride
in an early day automobile, and
a flicker flashback which recalls
a pre-popcorn movie program.
The World War is commemor
ated with a sketch suggesting
the motivation behind the song
"Hmkey Dinkey Farley voo."
Flaming youth and the Char
leston usher in the roaring twen
ties. Prohibition, the kind of
comedy which killed vaudeville,
jazz babies and "it" girls, great
lover Rudolph Valentino, the
confession magazine and the
crossword puzzle craze are given
airy treatment in the twenties
segment of the orogram.
During the depression of the
thirties, radio was a fast-rising
entertainment medium. Popular
programs of the decade are re'
called.
World War II
World War II, within the
memory of all, inspired a sketch
involving a cockney coi ple in a
London blackout, a comment on
the homefront war effort, an
eyewitness account of the Navy
on shore leave, and a satiric dis
closure of Hitler's last days in
Berlin.
Highlighting the postwar era
is a sketch which depicts the
problems of a returned GI whose
wife, a former WAC, insists on
operating their home like an
Army camp. An irreverent
sketch, "My Friend Freud," sug
gests the influence of the film
"Spellbound" on the psychiatric
profession. A take-off on Rus
sian radio presents the Soviet
version of an American quiz
program.
"Cornhusker Cavalcade"
Concluding the program is
"Cornhusker Cavalcade" which
returns the audience to the Ne
braska campus and offers a col
orful but questionable solution
to the problem of boosting col
lege enrollments since the influx
of war veterans is on the wane.'
The cast includes Dutch

Kinsey Report on Female Sex
Previewed in Redbook Article
The forthcoming book, "Sexual
Behavior in the Human Female",
Morris L. Ernst and Davied Loth
viewed in a recent article by
by Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, is pre
appearing in the May issue of
Redbook magazine.
Under the title of "What Kin
sey Will Tell", the authors be
lieve Kinsey's report will show
that the sexual development of
women is slower than that of
men. Only about twenty-five
percent of the females have ex
perienced the climax of emotional
excitement by the time they are
fifteen, as compared with ninety
two percent among males. Wo
men's experience in this respect
does not become comparable
with men's until the age of jiearly
thirty, the article states. -Educational
Problem
This problem poses as a diffi
culty for our educational system,
which is geared to handling
students by age, the article con
tinues, and goes on to declare
that women, unlike men, retain
their maximum sexual drive over
a period of five or six years.
The Redbook article says that
"petting" increases with the
amount of education attained, but
it states that one third of college
women who marry never attain
complete sexual satisfaction. This
is true, the article says, despite
the fact that in recent years, col
lege women have been taught

Lai pest KAM Show

Duis, the show is the largest
ever sponsored by the organiza
tion, which is composed of Uni
versity students interested in the
field of photography.

Council Issues Last Call
For Organization Reports
The Student Council student
activities committee today issued
a final warning to campus or
ganizations which have failed to
turn in their constitutions and
activity reports.
Report forms were mailed
during March to all active clubs
on the Council's records. The
reports call for the following in
formation; requirements for
membership, number of mem
bers, initiation fees, dues, special
assessments, officers, headquar
ters, purposes, aims and activi
ties. "
The Student Council constitu
tion prov ides for the annual
check of organizations. Groups
which fail to comply with the
Council's directives can lose ths
that it is possible for wives to
achieve the same goals as their
mates in this regard.
Sexual Relations
A greater precentage of women
who-, have had a grade school
education or less have sexual re
lations, and when ttie modern
college graduate fr "s to achieve
the satisfaction with her mar
riage partner, the authors state
that she is likely to blame 'either
him or herself. This' dissatisfac
tion is said to contribute to the
Increase in divorces.
One of the greatest destroyers
of marriage, the magazine article
declares, is the inability of a
couple even in the intimacy of
matrimony to tell each other
what they really feel about sex.
The article also discusses the
effect on sexual behavior of
changing customs, the relative
frankness of men and women in
talking about sex, comparison of
what is sexually stimulating to
each of the sexes, and the inci
dence of homosexuality among
women. Also the differences in
sex behavior patterns of the un
married woman as compared to
the bachelor, the variations in
sexual patterns in the light of
differences in race, build and
color, the attitude of women
toward children's sex activities
and the differences in the sex
activities of boys and girls are
pointed out by authors Ernst and
Loth.
Theatre to
'School for Scandal'
With only five rehearsals re
maining until the opening per
formance, cast members of the
University Theatre's fifth play of
the season. "The School for
Scandal," are putting the finish
ing touches on a peculiar type of
movement and dialect.
To be presented May 8, 9 and
10 at the Nebraska theater, the
comedy written by Richard B.
Sheridan, will highlight a form
of characterization which typi
fies eighteenth century Britons.
Strongly satirical, the drama
will poke fun at the stereotyped
actions of oversophisticated Lon
don inhabitants.
Dallas Williams, director of the
Theatre's final play of the year,
said, "The play will be produced
in the style and manner of the
period in which the play was
written. We are not attempting
to be at all realistic in the stage
work. We are attempting to use
the style of acting that was used
in 1777 in London. England," he
said.
"Our modern style," added
Williams, "is quite different. It
is realistic and more straight
forward. However drama of the
eighteenth century stresses arti
ficial and unrealistic action.
British Dialect.
"A unique feature of the com
edy," related Williams, "is the
use of British dialect which will
be employed throughout the en
tire play. It has been difficult to
attempt to train 15 midwestern
dramatists to use the British
dialect."
"In order to obtain the correct
diction, a native of England,
Rita Shaw, has he'ped by serv
ing as diction coach," said Wil
liams. She has also been of great
value to us through her theat
rical experience."
"One of our greatest prob
lems," stated Williams, "has been
to affect the manners of the peo
ple of this period. In Sheridan's
time, they behaved quite differ
ently. Men and women both
were very affected in their
movements. Men were so sophis
ticated and serious in movement
such as bowing that they ap
peared almost feminine."
It is necessary in the play to
protray over-exaggerated man
ners that still appear virile and
not feminine. In this period, men
dipped snuff, wore long silk
handkerchiefs, and lace on their
clothing. Both men and women
wore powdered wigs.
Cast
Cast members are:
Sharon F r i t z 1 e r as Lady

ton Hoffman as Mr. Snake. Tom
Stimpfig as Sir Benjamin Back
bite, Bill Klamm as Rowley,
Jack Wenstrand as Careless, and
Charles Huestis as Trap.
"The play is full of situations
which prove embarrassing to the
characters in the play," said Wil
liams. "Some of the scenes pro
duce complications which are
excruciatingly funny to the au
dience." Plot
"Many intricacies make for
extremely clever comedy," com
mented 'Williams. "The plot of
the story is laid in the first scene
of the play. Lady Sneerwell and
Snake are the shadier members

of the group."
"Joseph Surface, supposedly a
moral young man, actually dupes
Sir Peter Teazle into thinking
so when he attempts to win the
hand of Maria, a fair young
lady living under the guardian
ship of the Teazles. However,
there is method in Joseph's mad
ness since he knows that Maria
will fall heir to a fortune at the
ago of 21."
Schemers Lady Sneerwell and
Snake, a professional forger, plot
to place Charles Surface in dis
favor with Sir Peter Teazle.
Snake forges a letter to make it
appear as if Charles was writ
ing to Lady Teazle. The letter
is quite affectionate in its na
ture and it later falls into the
hands of Sir Peter as Lady
Sneerwell had hoped.

humor that is typical of Sheri
dan. In the play, Sheridan has at
tempted to satirize the gossip
mongering society of his day in
London. He also takes a good
natured poke at the men of sent
iment who were so common dur
ing the eighteenth century.
In Sheridan's time, there were
nany plays that were very sen
timental in nature, aach would
have leading characters which
were very moral and spoke many
sentiments.
Sheridan and Goldsmith were
among the first of the play
wrights who decided a definite
change in the type of drama was
in store. Both wrote plays, con
sidered radical in their day,
which have become well known
in the modern day theatre.

Palmer Reports
Business Loss
In Small Towns
Many small Nebraska com
munities face possible extinction
unless they "face squarely the
issue of declining population."
That is the conclusion reached
by Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, head of
the University business research
department, who has just com
pleted a study of factors respon
sible for the decline of business
and population in Clay Center
and in Clay county. This survey
was made at the request of Clay
Center business men.
Seven specific things "which
need to be done to renew the
fading life of the small city, as
exemplified by Clay Center,"
were suggested by Dr. Palmer.
His recommendations are as fol
lows; Suggestions
1. The diversification of agri
culture in the surrounding areas,
especially the more intensive
types of farming such as live
stock production, should be stim-'
ulnted.
2. A city-wide program for the
improvement of store fronts and
renovation of interior displays
should be inaugurated to make
the city's stores as attractive as
the same sized stores in larger
communities.
3. The city should be adver
tised widely over the county by
means of billboards and illumin
ated signs, especially at strategic
corners where signs would helo'
lead trafiic into the business dis
trict of the town.
Improve Retail Trade
4. The town should make an
effort to overcome any specific
weaknesses in the retail trade
lines.
5. The towns should try to en
list the aid of the state division
of resources and industries and
other agencies in attracting new
small factories to the city.
6. The towns should stimulate
local men's efforts to establish
manufacturing.
7. Full co-operation of all city
leaders is essential to any efforts
for the goods of the city. The
cities where this is possible prob
ably are the ones which survive
bs the general population level it
lowered in the region.
