dential nomination, will address
University students in a "non
political" convocation, one of
four Lincoln appearances, Wed
nesday. The Oklahoma senator, his
headquarters announced, will
deliver the "non-political"
talk, In which he will cite his
record as a governor, and dis
cuss "issues of foreign policy"
and the future of young peo
ple In the tax program.
The senator's appearance at 8
p.m. in the Union ballroom is
"not a political rally, but a
University convocation," ac
cording to the convocations
committee, sponsors of the pro
gram. Bob LaShelle and Lynn Kun
kel, student members of the
committee, said: "No demon
strations will be tolerated be
fore, during, and after the con
vocation on University prop
erty." The senator's headquarters
announced his itinerary for
Wednesday. He will return to
Omaha Wednesday from Mon
tana. He will come to Lincoln
in the afternoon, arriving at
about 5 p.m.
A reception, ' press conference
and dinner at the Lincoln hotel
will precede his campus appear
ance. The dinner is sponsored
by the Lancaster County Kerr-for-President
committee.
After his program n the
campus, during which he will
talk and answer questions,
Senator Kerr will address the
B'nai B'rUh Lodge, and will
appear on a half-hour broad
cast over radio stations KFOR
and KFAB.
The. Oklahoman will make a
few more appearances in the
state before the primary elec

The candidate, in discussing
his accomplishments as Sooner
State governor, is expected to
point to his record in educa
tion. He sponsored a program
to "take Oklahoma's schools
out of politics."
Under the program, he set up
a non-political board of regents
to govern the state's universi
ties. The Oklahoman, according
to a "balance sheet" prepared
oa his position as a candidate
by Life magazine, is "an or
thodox New and Fair dealer,
a campaigner as tireless as he
is ambitious" and "favorably
know probably to more state
chairmen and convention
delegates than any other
Democrat but Truman him
self." t
Multimillionaire Kerr's "vul
nerable target," according to
Life, is the fact that he "fought
With equal zeal against the
civil-rights program and for his
own and his state's special in
terests." The appearance of Senator
Kerr will precede a convoca
tion address by another candi
date for the Democratic presi
dential nomination. Sen. Estes

mitted in the primary, to be
sponsored by the YMCA and
the YWCA.
A general meeting will be
held on campus preceding the
election, to stimulate "intensive
publicity and campaigning for
candidates."
Young Democrats for Ke
fauver will begin their cam
paign for their candidate after
plans are formulated at a meet
ing Thursday evening, The

Four University coeds were
engaged in a discussion of their
respective English courses while
playing bridge one evening.
Before very long the talk
took on the aspect of "I'm-not-doing-so-well
what's-wrong-with-the-instructor."
One coed
mentioned a recent test which
had been the subject of a good
deal of ' controversy among
bridge circles.
All four were stumped on one
point, and finally one coed
asked, "Well, just what IS the
difference between a tragic hero
and a pathetic hero?"
Her partner quickly replied:
"Only Stepanek knows, and
he's not telling."

The army is the only branch
which has to take equipment
from its reserves. The navy
commitments will be met from
vessels in the "mothball fleet,"
and aircraft commitments are
being met from current pro

not extensive enough, how
ever, to replace equipment
worn out in Korea, arm our
allies and still have many ve

'STREET SCENE' OPENING
Marian Uhe's Acting Highlights
'Generally Weak' Play Tuesday
By DICK MILLER
Staff Reviewer
The University theater produc
tion of Elmer Rice's "Street
Scene" Tuesday night was high
lighted by a few very fine actors
in a generally weak and ineffec
tive play. Besides being sadly out
dated, the play was full of cliches
which, though sentimental and
universal, are still not the stuff of
which good theater is made.
Marian Uhe, as Rose, gave the
evening's most alive and most
convincing performance. Besides
bringing a naturalness and ap
peal to her part, Miss Uhe was
able to make some of her most
ridiculous lines sound convinc
ing. Her performance was most
satisfactory.
Mary Sidner, as her mother,
seemed to be weak In compari
son, although she had, in her
scenes with her husband, a more
polished character than at other
times. Les Mathis grew steadily in
his role throughout the evening,
and Ken Clement gave a capable
performance of a part which of
fered almost nothing to work
with.
The smaller roles were capably
handled, with particular applause
going to Jack Lange for a fine
characterization, to Harriet Ewing
for another, and to Marge Line for
perhaps the best shrill-voiced
shrew ever to grace the Unlver
sity theater stage. Harry Stiver
and Jania McCaw contributed, ex
cellently, the only real humor in
the piay. curt Siemers, wes Jens
by, John Churchill and Pat Loder
can also be commended for their
capable performances.
Good as some of the players
were, it was still a disappoint
ing performance because of the
quality of the play itself, its
sloppy blending of "philoso
phy," "religion," "love" and
"sex." It Is hard to see why such
a play was chosen as a Univer
sity theater production and not
surprising that the actors in
volved had difficulty, almost
csalinual difficulty, in getting
