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. Last year, the four

AUF Solicitation Workers
Give Impetus to Campaign
A group of students who re

winding -up one small campaign
and ready to begin another.

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.
A drive which received first
impetus last Friday morning is
being finished thut of organi
zation solicitation.
Fourteen presidents and lead
ers of campus organizations help
ed AUF publicize the drive by
wearing signs and lutmy caps ad
vertising thut they were on pro
bation until they turned in their
donations to the AUF. The mock
arrests were made early Friday
morning.
