JOT S&ife Tbfce Toir 0 Broadway Show Fall Revue skits this year fol lowed very closely a central theme, "A Mythical Tour of Broadway." And in this way, accomplished continuity which was dominant throughout the show. The Phi Gams gained transi tion through the "travels" of a taxi which made the rounds to three different Broadway shows. An orchestra background playing the "Manhattan Merry-Go-Round" song then focused attention on a quartet skipping on stage, singing "Happy Days Are Here Again." A Charleston line added zest as a "girl" sang "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." A "South Pacific" theme fol lowed as several love-starved sailors despondently sang "There is Nothing Like a Dame." This sequence was followed by the appearance of three hula girls, starting a major panic among the sailors. Follies of a Ziegfield nature took the spotlight then as the cast sang "A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody." The ATO's produced musical versions of New York City. A spotlight fell on two sailors on leave who decide which parts of the city they want to visit. Jazz Singer With 42nd street as their first stop, the sailors paused to listen to a jazz singer accompanying himself on the piano. A visit to Tin Pan Alley found the sailors watching a sax player in a window doing a mellow solo. Following a night club scene, an orchestra was revealed playing "Dark Town Strutter's Ball." Then a taxi rolled on the stage dropping off Charleston dancers at intervals, who proceeded to go through their routine. Then the taxi returned and -picked up the dancers as the orchestra finished the number. The Betas gave the "hitherto untold story of the great Cyrano de Bergerac." Cyrano's problems were re vealed Instantly when the spot light was directed upon him. An exceedingly long and unsightly nose hung down past his chin. No matter how hard young Cyrano tried to be like his friends his nose always came between them. People would ask him if he was eating a banana or playing a trombone. Sword Duel His troubles are ended after a sword duel during which his long nose gets cut off. A triumphant moment ensued when Cyrano embraced Lady Hildegarten, "won by losing a nose." Special entertainment for be-tween-the-sklt pauses was pro vided by a barber shop quartet, The Keymasters, and also by Jack Chedester who sang a tenor solo. The quartet presented two numbers.

AUF Solicitation Workers Give Impetus to Campaign A group of students who re ceive little mention for the large amount of work they do are winding -up one small campaign and ready to begin another. Members of the All Univer sity Pund solicitations board, these-fltudents -are in charge of Security Topic At Insurance Men's Meeting Individuals and businesses need to take a continuous, long look at insurance if they expect to make it work to the best ad vantage for themselves and American security. This thought keynoted the op ening of the first annual insur ance institute at the University Friday a two-day session which brought nine of the nation's top flight insurance authorities to Lincoln. Sponsored jointly by the Insur ance Institute of Nebraska-and the College of Business Admin istration, the meeting drew a ca pacity crowd of 350 insurance men and students. The institute turned its first uttention to problems confront ing the insurance buyers and heard two talks, one by Rus sell B. Gallagher, Philadelphia, manager of Philco corporation's insurance depurtment; the other by Dr. Ralph Blunchard, New York, proicssor of insurance at Columbia university. Private Business Inadequate Limiting his observations to the life insurance field, Dr. Blunchard said that social in surance schemes, not only in the U.S. but in other nutions as well, are evidence that private initia tive hus not done the job thut the public wunts done. As for the insurance compan ies, Dr. Biunchurd had this ad vice: "Private intit.utions should consider themwjlves us part of the general organization of the public, permitted to administer their own affairs because they contribute to the generul good. Too greut deluy in adopting ttiis uttitude muy gradually transform them into governmental units." As a result. Dr. Ulunchurd pointed out, insurunce is a highly sensitive system whose greutest threuts ure taxes and inflation. Tuxes reduce income, he suid, and inflution lowers the ef ficiency of income. Property Coverage The'second phase of the 'insur unce buyer's problem property coverage was discussed by Cul lagher. He declared thut Ameri cans are awake to the dunger of state-controlled insurance, but suid there is need for the de velopment of brouder-coveruge policies. Gullughor ulso suggested thut thought be given to revising "Ioks participation," so thut both the insured and the -company would stand part. This method, he suid, would enable "normal" losses which ure bound to occur, to be included us part of the general operating costs. The chief use of insurunce, then, would be to cover the big, unexpected losses. The result, he predicted, would be cheuper insurunce rates. . contacting an University faculty members and students asking them to pledge or donate to AUF. The main purpose of the solici tations board to the give all those associated with the University the opportunity to give to AUF and through it to the worthy "or ganizations which AUF funds help support. Adele Coryell, chairman of faculty solicitations, reports that a concentrated drive held the past two weeks was brought to a close last Friday. Each faculty member was -contacted personally and a letter of information was sent out before calls were made. Solicitating Satisfactory Miss Coryell commented that the solicitations have been fairly satisfactory considering that the Community Chest has alreudy solicited the faculty. The solicitations board, made up of upperclassmen who have worked at least one year for AUF, is divided into ten parts and is under the direction of head solicitor, Sarah Fulton. Concentrated drives are now petting under way with the two divisions denominations and honoraries, headed respectively by Bonney Vurney and Marilyn Peterson. Plans are to work with repre sentatives of the larger cumpus groups and send solicitors and speakers to the smaller groups.
