Masquers' Will Present
"Curse You, Jack Dalton!'1 The
title of this old-time, mid-century
melodrama produced by the
Masquers is also the phrase used
to express the feelings of Egbert
Van Horn, a deep-dyed villain.
The play will be presented four
successive evenings at 8 p.m. in
the Union ballroom beginning
Wednesday. Wilbur Braun, the
author, has taken the best situa
tions from the old melodramas
and incorporated them into one
act play aimed at recapturing the
spirit of the naughty nineties and
early 1900's.
Tom Stimpfig portrays Jack
Dalton, the manly hero with a
heart of gold. Marty Miller plays
Mrs. Dalton, Jack's aristocratic
mother with a heart of stone.
Janet Jensen will be Eloise,
Jack's tender hearted sister.
Poor But Honest
Christine Phillips appears as
the Dalton's maid, Bertha Blair.
She is poor but honest with a
heart filled with goodness. Ber
tha is the heroine of the story.
Lois Nelson is Anna Alvarado,
a Spanish adventuress who is de
termined to marry Jack because
he is the only man she has ever
really loved. She has a heart of
granite. Dave Sisler plays Rich
ard Blair, Bertha's brother with
a heart filled with hope. (As
you can see, these characters all
have hearts!)

NU Instructor
.To Divide Hot,
J. W, Harper an instructor in
the mechanical engineering de
partment of the University has
developed a unique device which
separates air into hpt and cold
molecules.
The first machine which suc
cessfully separated hot and cold
molecules was first invented by
Rudolph Hilsch, a German scien
tist. However, Harper has re
ported that he has found several
new discoveries about the ma
chine since the days of its first
construction,
According to Harper there istance of the machine is its dura-
only one unknown factor about
the machine. No one knows ex
actly how it works. It just works.
Because of its unusual workings,
Harper believes that many im
portant new results will be ach
ieved to aid others in scientific
research.
University Graduate
Harper graduated from the
University in June, 1945 with a
bachelor of science degree. In
1950 he received his master of
arts degree. In the course of his
studies, he has learned from his
experiments that the new ma
chine can be used to liquify air.
This feat was accomplished
by separating hot molecules from
the cold ones and dropping the
temperature to a point where
liquid air is formed.

Smith hall.
The booth ideas written up in
scant outline form must be in
Miss Snyder's office by 5 p.m.,
Wednesday.
Any organized women's house
or organization on the Univer
sity campus may submit ideas
for the Penny Carnival booths.
The Senior board of Coed Coun
selors will then choose 15 of the
ideas submitted to be presented

lain who has no heart at all. Di
rector of the production is Dean
Graunkc.
Egbert, the villain, pursues
Bertha. He threatens to have her
committed to an asylum if she
doesn't give up Jack. At the
same time Anna is chasing Jack.
Sleeping potion is added to the
drink of water for Bertha to lure
her from the Dalton mansion and
condition her for an asylum. Eg
bert insults Bertha so Jack will
give her up and Jack retaliates
by throwing the potion in Eg
bert's face.
Realizes 'Affair'
When Mrs. Dalton realizes the
affair between Jack and Bertha,
she threatens to disown him. Mrs.
Dalton firmly believes a person
isn't anybody unless their name
appears in the social register.
With. the help of dear old fate,,
Egbert loses out and the others
live happily ever after.
A new idea is being tried with
the production of the play in
the Union ballroom. An arena
or a central stage will be used.
The audience will sit around the
stage and lighting comes from
overhead. Seating will only per
mit 150 persons a night.

Liquid air can be manufactured
by other processes, but at a much
higher expense. A vital sub
stance, it is used for obtaining
oxygen for medical purposes. The
liquid air is also used for cut
ting and welding steel.
Picture Reference
Harper built this machine with
pictures as his only reference.
This, instead of hindering his
experiment, led to many other
discoveries that otherwise might
have been impossible. He also
found that the practical impor-
ibility and low construction costs.
Because it has no movable parts,
it will not suffer any appreciable
wear.
After building this machine,
Harper has no intention of rest
ing on his laurels. Instead he
plans to continue his studies on
how the machine works, and how
it may be further applied to
benefit scientific discoveries.
Judging Team
To Stock Show
The University livestock judg
ing team left by train Friday for
the annual Fort Worth livestock
exposition boasting the recent
second place win at the Western
Livestock show at Denver last
week.
They arrived at Fort Worth,
Tex., Saturday and since have
resided at the Westbrook hotel
there. The inter-college judging
contest is today.
Only one change has been
made between the Denver and
Fort Worth teams. It was an
nounced this week by Prof. M.
A. Alexander, team coach, that
Frank Sibert, Ag junior, re
placed Darrel Heiss who could
not maLe the trip. The other
team members are Russel Scheu
kopf, Steve Eberhart, Del Kopf
and Clayton Yeutter.
Customarily the University's
livestock team competes in both
the jjenver and Fort Worth con
tests. However, W. J. Loeffel,
chairman of the department of
animal husbandry, issued notice
that next year there will be only
one trip.
He did not say whether the
trip would be to the Denver or
the Fort Worth show.
Huskerville

been inspecting with an eye to
possible reactivation.
At present, however, they
have not been affected and will

ville housing, stated he knows
nothing more of the situation
than has been printed in the
daily papers. He is hoping soon
to hear more about the matter.
The civilian housing program
at Huskerville will not be af
fected by the call of the Ne
braska Air squad to active duty.
Major Fred H. Bailey of the
173rd fighter squadron, said that
to his knowledge the guard had
To intentions of taking over any
housing at the base or building
any such new units.
Lincoln's Mayor, Victor Ander
son, pointed out that the housing
units in Huskerville are owned
by the city. The housing itself
would be taking over only in the
event that the entire base were
reactivated for military purposes.

NU Physicist
Explains Genes
Dr. Herbert jenie, uiuvwanj
psysicist, outlined a theory
which may explain a basic puz
ple of life last week in Omaha.
He spoke before the Omaha
Section of the American Chem
ical society. .
. Dr. Jehle's theory described in
mathematical terms one of the
vital processes of growth the
duplication of genes. Science
has never been able to explain
satisfactorily this process.
The controlling factor in this
marvelous duplication, Dr. Jehle
believes, is still smaller units
within the genes called peptide
molecules.
These, he believes, are com
posed in turn of collections of
atoms of carbon, nitrogen and
other elements bound together
chemically. The peptide cole
cules continually vibrate.
Dr. Jehle said that the theory
was based on work by Dr. H. J.
Muller, famed Indiana Univer
sity geneticist, and the theory
was explained in co-operation
with geneticists.
It could give additional light
on the growth of virus, the sub
stances responsible for polio
myelitis, common colds, influen
za, measles and other diseases.
It may give scientists another
tool to investigaate normal and
abnormal growths.
NU Scientists
Receive Grants
Dr. Walter W. Militzer and Dr.
Carl E. Georgi, University scien
tists, have received a $600 re
search grant from the Louis Liv
ingston Seaman fund which is
administered by the New York
Academy of Medicine.
The grant will be used to pur
chabe special equipment for a
microscope which will help the
researchers study substances ob
tained from bacteria which live
in high temperatures.
Di Militzer is a University
biochemist and Dr, Georgia is a
bacteriologist.
The rets"arch work has been
support by grants totaling $25,001'
from the United States publi
health service during the pas
three years.

'51 Class
Receives
uegrees
Five hundred and .ten students
received their degrees from the
University of Nebraska last Sat
urday morning.
This was the third largest class
in the university's history. The
record high was set in 1950 when
660 students received degrees, fn
1949, 532 students graduated. The
previous high was 190 in 1940
Two of the graduates. Hubert
W. Welton and Peter M. Peter
son won the higher honor for
outstanding scholarship that a
college can give: "Graduate with
high distinction."
Welton, a graduate of the Col
lege of Agriculture, earned his
bachelor of science degree in
education at Kearney State col
lege in 1947. He has specialized
in vocational education at the
University.
Peterson graduated from Arts
and Sciences college. He majored
in history, Latin and Greek. In
addition, he successfully com
pleted an honors course in his
tory. Graduation Significant
The graduation also had sig
nificance for two other mid-year
men. They were James M. Bobi
son. World War II veteran from
Pawnee City, who is now on a
battleship in Korean waters and
Clark Smaha, 45-year-old insur
ance company executive from
Chicago, 111.
Robison served in the Navy
four years during World War II,
When he was discharged from
the service, he entered a Naval
Reserve unit in Lincoln. He en
rolled in the University's Tea
chers college under the GI Bill.
When he was called to the ser
vice in August, he had two credit
hours to be earned before he
could get his University degree
It looked like the credits must
be earned through a correspon
dence course. But the University
Registrar's office took official
notice of his plight and began
re-examining the credits he had
been awarded for attending Navy
service schools during World
War II.
Able To Graduate
Early this week the Registrar's
office informed Robison's wife
who is employed by the Univer
sity, that his sen-ice work en
titled him to two more credits
enough for graduation.
Jim is now aboard the aircrai't
carrier Princeton as a first class
machinists mate.
Smaha started to get his degree
in 1923. He attended the Univer
sity four years but lacked ap
proximately a dozen hours of
credit necessary for graduation.
In the intervening years, he
has obtained the additional cred
its by attending classes at North
western university. These credits
were transferred to his Nebraska
record. He also took correspon
dence courses from the Univer
sity of Nebraska Extension Divi
sion. He is now Field Supervisor
of the Midwest area of the Aetna
Life Insurance company.

Livestock Judging Team Wins
Six Trophies at Denver Show
The University livestock judg-
ing team hit the jackpot on
trophies at the 45th annual run-
ning of the Western Livestock
show last week while most stu-
dents were hitting finals.
The five-man team, coached
by Prof. M. A. Alexander of the
animal husbandry department,
won these awards at the Denver
show: reserve champion team
trophy, fat cattle trophy, breed
ing cattle tropny and sheep
trophy.
Even so, the Minnesota team
nosed out the Huskers for first
place. Nebraska was second,
Oklahoma third. Fifteen mid
western universities competed.
Livestock men throughout the
state poured congratulatory mes
sages into Alexander's lap. The
team came back with five new
ten-gallon Stetson hats.
Clayton Yeutter was. high in
dividual in judging sheep and
was second in cattle. Russel
Schelkopf won fourth in all
classes. Steve Eberhart was sec
ond in sheep, sixth in cattle and
ninth in horses. Darrel Heiss
was ninth in horses. Del Kopf
was second in horses, fourth in
sheep.
