Afterwards . . .
When we first heard about Religion-in-Life Week this
year, most of us thought "Must be another of these 'weeks'
which are pushed onto us from time to time." There was
nothing unusual about a week set aside for religion.
-vMaybe those of us who
resented the fact that a week had been set aside during
which we would be told by some authority or other that
we should be more and more religious. Others of us felt
that most religious meetings tend to be on the dull side
and not to get down to business with the real issues of the
day. Others of us felt that there are too many activities
on the campus anyway, and Religion-in-Life Week would
subject us to just one more. Therefore when we first
heard about this week we weren't too pleased or excited
Enthusiasm is something which is always hard to stir
up. Enthusiasm toward a campaign for more and better
religion is something which is

was Religion-ih-Life Week and the hand which lit the fire
was the Committee of 100, the group of University stu
dents and faculty members who worked long and tire
lessly to make Religion-in-Life Week a success.
Now let's say that the fire was lit last Sunday after
noon when the Committee of 100 held an afternoon retreat
The stew began to warm up when Dr. Koo spoke that eve
ning at the Union ballroom at
when 52 campus organized houses held visitation programs
and it was piping hot at the first vesper service on Monday.
The stew came to a boil when the faculty and student
seminars were held and when the Catholic students held
their evening meetings at St. Mary's Cathedral. And then
as quickly as the week began, Religion-in-Life Week was
over and the thoughts of University students turned to
other things.
But now that our thoughts have naturally turned to
other topics, and our interests to other channels, are we
going to let our pot of religious stew cool down again?
If we try, we can push the boiling stew over the top and
let it bubble over and down giving a something called
religious nourishment to others. If we try, our stew can
feed millions of starving people, enrich them and make
them whole.
The way to make our stew overflow is to keep up
our enthusiasm, make religion not a thing which is thought
about just one week during the year but a subject which
helps us live our lives every day throughout the year. If
we can do this, our pot of religion has been worth while.
It has then served its purpose and has enriched not only
our own living, but the lives of others. g. r.
Midget Grid Players
Invade NU
A mass infiltration of red-parkas
was witnessed by Daily Ne
braskan news editors early Sat
urday. The Invaders numbering at
least 30, swarmed into the Union
with the Campusline as their ob
jective. Forming a semblance of
split-T formation they rushed
heavily for the chow line.
Attempting to call signals,
their leader was ignored as the
team took the offense and the
hashers the defense.
The invaders were a long-shot
probable lineup of Nebraska's
1957-61 grid team.
The tow-headed members of
the Brandeis midget football team
from Omaha were on the campus
to attend the Nebraska-K-State
football game.
Guests Enjoy Meal
The honored guests thought the
food in the Campusline was "de
licious, beautiful, and absolutely
scrumptuous." Plates were heaped
high with spinach, roast beef and
potatoes. Wedges of chocolate
cake and cartons of milk finished
the meaL
They were down to celebrate
as midget champs of Omaha. Last
week, they beat the 1949 national
champs, State Coal, wresting a
20-0 victory.

Assistant Coach
Art Boisnier, assistant coach

also from the midget game pre

Events of 50
As Students
By Joan Kruerer
"I remember when . . ."
A packed Lincoln high school
auditorium laughed at familiar
punch lines, hissed at the villian
and listened to dramatic mo
ments as they remembered "the
good old days" at the "Footlite
Frolics" Friday evening.
Gaylord Marr's troupe easily
captured the audience's approval
as it reminisced from the "good
old days" 50 years ago, through
two world wars, the depression
torn thirties up through 1950.
Those in the audience who re
membered the old time melo
dramas, the corny gags and ro
bust enthusiasm of the old vau
devillians and those who were
too young to remember them,
cheerfully responded to the case's
rendition of the story of an era.
Broadway Touch
There was a touch of Broad
way in the way the cast pre
sented the show, and particu
larly in Gaylord Marr, the ver
satile young showman respon
sible for the outstanding per
formance. He produced, wrote,
directed, narrated and acted in
the revue.
The music of Robert Vollmer
coordinated the entire show. He
provided original music and ar
rangements and well as a con
Lithuanian Student Forced
To Flee from East Europe
One of the newest D. P. stu
dents on campus is Leonardis
Gerulaitis of Lithuania. Univer
sity students have shortened his
name to a more managearjie
"Leo." The first impressions one
receives of Leo are a friendly
grin and a new fuzz-cut.
Leo. 22. Is on? ot the foreign
students brought to the United
States and sponsored on campus
by the Religious Welfare Coun
cil. He is a studentof chemical
engineering. Leo's board is pro
vided by Beta Theta Pi; he
rooms at Cotner House.
It has been six years since Leo
has seen his homeland, now ab
sorbed by the Soviet Union. With
hundreds of thousands of other
eastern Europeans, Leo left his
country with the retreating Ger
man army. Like other displaced
persons, he preferred a question
able future in west Europe to
life under the communists. Lith
uanians have since all but dis
appeared as a race, since the
Russians are determined to erad
icate them.
After years of work in Ger
many, Leo Gerulaitis has now
received an opportunity to start
life anew in America.

Named to Head
Ag Ak-Sar-Ben
Clayton Yeutter and Bob Radin
were elected "emcee" and co

The Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben. sched
uled for March 17, 1951. Is spon
sored each year by the Block and
Bridle club to give A college

imals. It is patterned somewhat after
the Ak-Sar-Ben show held in
Omaha.
The show co-chairmen, son
sisting of the Block and Bridle
club president. Bob Raun and
Radin, will have charge of mak
ing arrangements for the entire
show. Division and publicity

held on Ag campus later this
year. The committee in charge
will be: Dean Eberspacher, chair
man, and Norman Tooker. Keith
Young and Dean Linscott.
Tbe routine followed a talk
by Gladwin Young, field repre
sentative of the USDA. on the

State Doctors
Will Sponsor
Diabetic Drive
National Diabetic Week is Nov.
During this week the Nebras
ka State Medical Association Is
attempting to find as many of
the diabetics in the State of Ne
braska. The House of Delegates
has passed a resolution to the
effect that anybody can have a
free sugar urine test at any doc
tor's office in the state during
this week.
According to the specialists In
the diabetic field, they believe
there are approximately one
million unknown diabetics. The
Lancaster County Medical soci
ety Is cooperating with the Ne
braska State Medical society and
plans to conduct as thorough
survey in the county as possible.
In accordance with his resolu
tion Dr. S. I. Fuenning. director
of the Student Health center,
v.oa nnnniinrri that all employees.
faculty members and students of
the University can have a sugar
urine test at the health center
without charge.
Appointments need not be
made to take the test, as the
health center has set up special
service to handle the persons
who come in. The results will
remain confidential and will be
made known only to them.
If there are any questions re
garding this diabetic drive, Dr.
Fuenning at the health center
should b called.
Years Pass
Present Tootlite Frolics'
tinual medley of old time songs.
and accompaniment for the vocal
numbers. Among the brightest
spots In the show was his piano
medley of Gershwin melodies and
the presentation of his own com
position "Night Ride."
The satire, comedy and drama
that accompanies any attempt to
present a history of show busi
ness was created excellently by
all members of the cast. The
narrator's script vividly por
trayed each change of show
business during the entire 50
year period.
Depression
And when the revue reached
the depression torn thirties, Lois
Nelson took the spotlight with
an enthusiastic and versatile
impersonation of Mae West. The
five-foot two actress sang, acted
and danced in the revue, and did
all with a professional touch
Her part as an overbearing post
war WAC wife drew many
chuckles from the audience. And
if anyone came to see a flashy,
top version of the Charleston,
they should have been satisfied
when Miss Nelson was finished,
One of the greatest audience
pleasers of the show was Patsy
Dutton with her mimicries of
various records. A listener would
almost believe she was doing the

Ag Student Wins
Essay Contest
. Ernest Rousek, senior in the
University Agricultural college
from Ord, has just been named
the winner in a national agricul
tural essay writing contest.
The Ord student won the top
spot in the essay contest spon
sored by the American Society
of Agronomy. He received a gold
medal and $25 in cash. Rousek's
paper was entitled, "Pioneers
without Plows," and described
the use of sub-surface tillage
operations.
"In many parts of the Great
Plains region today, trash littered
fields are rapidly replacing the
once cleanly plowed seedbeds,"
he wrote. "This does not indicate
that the present generation of
farmers is .becoming careless. On
the contrary, they are following
the soil and moisture conserving
stubble mulch system of farming
which has been developed during
the last 12 years thru the co-operative
efforts of the Nebraska
Agricultural Experiment station
and the Soil Conservation
service."
Rousek said at the present time
more than 28 million acres are
under subsurface tillage.
Campus Grows
As Houses Go
All houses between the Mili
tary and Naval Science building
and the Sigma Chi house have
been moved recently by the
buildings and grounds depart
ment of the University. The area
is to be used as a women's
physical education area.
According to Charles Fowler,
of buildings and grounds, con
tracts will be let this week to
clear and level the area. Work is
expected to start on these opera
tions in the very near future.
The area wil be used as a
parking lot during the winter.
The lot will not be maintained
and all parking will be at the
driver's risk.
Actual construction of tennis
and badminton courts, softball
diamonds and other areas will
begin next spring.

singing In addition to acting. Her
presentation of records by Bea
trice Kay, Cass Daley and Spike
Jones were generally show
stoppers, and the popular Uni
versity of Nebraska entertainer
won much applause,
Vocalists
Sue Kent and Ed Bender
shared vocal honors in the pro
duction. Together they delighted
the audience with "O What a
Beautiful Morning," in addition
to individual numbers. Miss
Kent's well trained soprano was
particularly striking in a French
cafe scene during World War II
history. Bender possessed a rich
baritone voice, popular with the
audience.
When Dick Freeh appeared on
stage, especially in the role of
W. C. Fields, a real flare for
comedy and impersonation was
seen. His act with Lois Nelson
as Mae West left the audience
laughing.
Gus Riedy, in his role as a con
fused and abused husband on a
radiohuman relations program,
in addition to his other appear
ances, really showed accomplish
ment in character parts.
One highlight of the show was
a pantomine set to the music of
St. Louis Blues. The "Fantasy in
Jazz," in which most of the cast
participated, took place in a
honkytonk during the twenties.
Wini Davidson took the leading
part, portraying it well. Scenery
and props used in this phase of
the revue were typical of the well
chosen realistic ones used
throughout the production.
When the show presented its
version of the melodrama its vil
lian and Little Nelle, the au
dience hissed readily at the vil
lian and cheered the heroine.
Miss Nelson, whose exaggerated
actions brought many titters.
Miss Walker's Act
One of the most vigorous ova
tions of the evening was given
by Twila Walker in her comical
testimonial concerning a cure-
all patent medicine.
The dance routine offered by
Bud Imlay drew applause from
the onlookers even before he fin
ished the number.
Final act of the show before
the finale .was the scene in a sup
posedly modern chiropractor's of
fice. Here the contributions of
Marr as the overly energetic and
absent minded doctor kept the
audience wondering what part of
the stage he would move to next.
Others in the cast were Lydia
Nekuda, Wayne Jostes, Jerry
Bryan, Dale and Evelyn Ander
son, Frank Redman, Richard
Shuberg, Dick Carson, Jack An
thony and Eleanor Bancroft.
The show was sponsored by
the women's division of the

ANOTHER FAD Once again the Charleston is more than a city in
South Carolina. It's back as a dance a prodigal returned from the
Roaring Twenties. Though some 1950 University students call the
Charleston a "knock-kneed contortion," a good many of them have
mastered it. Like their parents they have found it's more than a
dance. It's an experience, and pretty good exercise too. At least
that's what student experts Anne Jane Hall and Robert Phelps
(above) say. You have to kick heels, swing arms, snap fingers and
flash facial expressions on and off, they explain.
Communism,
Cause Fight
Communism and segregation
are still live issues on many of
the college campuses today.
University students at Texas
and California are fighting
against the requirement of loyal
ty oaths on the campus.
The campus newspapers lead
the battle to oust the require
ment. The Daily Californian re
ported the action of the exec
utive committee of the Associ
ated Students of the University
of California in a blaEing full
page spread. The A.S.U.C. repre
sents 19,000 university students.
The report stated its belief that
Communism was no longer an
issue in the Board of Regent's
loyalty oath action. They charged
that the action had violated the
principle of tenure and had af
fected the students' education.
The executive committe of the
A.S.U.C. charged:
"The principle of tenure has
been violated by the arbitrary
dismissal of professors who have
served the University up to 35
years. As a consequence of safd
action, we, as students, have been
directly affected in that: (1)
Forty-three courses essential to
the completion of college cur
ricula f re no longer being of
fered; (2) Work toward advanced
degrees formerly offered by the
discharged professors can no
longer be completed; (3) Degrees
received from this University
may not in the future carry the
same academic worth as in the
past."
Student donations totaling $353 t
were presented to the Faculty j
Committee on Assistance to non- j
signers.
The Daily Texan on the Uni
versity of Texas campus was
also busy opposing the Regents' I
loyalty oath instituted for both
universtiy professors and stu- i
dents. '
The University of Texas was j
involved in another incident re-
cently when a flaming Klu Klux ;
Klan cross was placed in front
of the Texas law building.
The "KKK" incident was be
lieved to be connected with the
admission of Herman Sweatt and
other Negro students into the law
school. A threatening letter, at
tributed to the Daily Texan's
editorial criticism of the burning
cross declared the writer's inten
tion of burning another cross in
front of the journalism building.

Segregation
on Campuses
the Daily Tar Heel of the Uni

tested the segregtaion policy of
the University.
The ruling has prevented un
segregated audiences from hear
ing speakers in the University.
The speakers have used the
pulpit of a Chapel Hill church
because of their refusal to speak'
before a segregated audience.
.An editorial in the campus
publication called the ruling "an
absurd policy" and that the policy
"is not only an insult to those
who are forced to be saddled with
the policy, but a blight on the
good sense of those in whose
hands the power to rule has been
placed."
