This instrument, purchased by the University Foundation for $22,000, is capable of magnifying an object from 100 t3 20,000 times Rook is the only man on cam pus qualified to operate this com plicated microscope.

The program featured a report ct the convention and state day. The banquet, attended by actives, alumni and patronesses, com memorated the founding of the first chapter of the sorority at Michigan in 1903.

By By DICK FELLMAN Staff Writer The latest fraternity on the University campus, the first of a unique hybrid variety, held an unusual field trip last week. Omicron Epsilon Pi, a new or ganization, officially opened its own formal season. Since the avowed purpose of the group is to have a good time, they re fused to wait for the normal so cial season opener the Military Ball. EIGHT MEMBERS, all highly regarded at the University, have formed the mutually inclusive and exclusive group. Many de tails of the new group are secret However the members' names can be revealed, if they are listed in alphabetical order. We have no seniority over each other," one of the notable members stated. In alphabetical , order, as re quested, the members are: Snooky Coryell, Frank Hallgren, associate dean of student affairs, Joyce Johnson, Cecilia Koehnke, Marshall Kushner, Shirley Led. ingham, Stan Sipple and Van Westover, assistant to the dean of student affairs. THE "OUTING" was held Nov. 20 when the group journeyed by train to the closest Midwestern metropolis Omaha. Everyone interviewed spoke about the weird comments that passerby made as they saw the OEPi group en route. This was understandable. considering they were attired. rather inappropriately, in form als and tux's. Nourishment was served in the form of box lunches. Each lunch, resembling "Fat Boy Elmer's" specialty, with one exception. consisted of one raw carrot, one piece of celery, one banana and one big, round cookie. Each course was taken, in turn, with adequate supplements between each delicacy. ONCE IN the big town, the OEPi octette ventured a few blocks from the railroad station down to Caniglia's Pizzaria to partake of its famous speciality. After proving themselves gour mets, there remained but one stop. They visited Angelo's, sup- ( Enough subject.) Returning to relatively Lincoln, all participated bridge tourney. CONCERNING FUTURE inten tions, one OEPi said, "We have indefinite plans." As far as can be determined at this time, the group intends to participate in many worthy charity functions. "We plan to send a CARE pack age to "Strictly Kushner's" fa vorite 'amico in Italia'," ans wered one of the members. "Seri ously, though, we will help in some local charity drives," he added. On the agenda for the nqar ti- ture include such affairs as a balloon ascension, a feast of wild meat and others bordering on the unmentionable. THE ESPRIT de corps of OEPi is probably its most obvious trait Beyond merely peping up the nor mal mundane events of student life, (they consider them so) OEPi promises to do the Univer sity immeasurable good. (It s a good thing it's immeasurable, too). All eight members have pledged to stick together. Ostracism by the group would be a most ter rible thing," one OEPi mused. latter . j quiet I . 5 wmm mJMX'K ym mm(m .

An obscure little class." Pure Thurber and it was lost. MOST OF the other characters are fairly stock but fun. Richard Marrs and William Klamm were ideally cast as the former Ail American and the university trustee, both breezy extroverts who never permitted the action to lag for a moment. Marrs' big scene where he ex plains the football game with dishes as players on the floor came off extremely well. Again the arena theatre did not do justice to the final action of the scene when Tommy. whose presence is unknown, re moves a teacup from Joe Fer guson's up-raised hand. The comic situation was an- preciated ag the laughter testi fied, but some of us saw onlv the backs of the actors' heads. Barbara Leigh as Tommy's wife does much to keep the plot moving, but it isn't by any means a role touched by Thur- ber's genius. To repeat, those who knew Thurber'g drawings can recognize Tommy, but Ellen is not one of his females. Both she and Ann Corcoran. enacting the role of Barbara Leigh's sister, brought the charm and good looks that are required. As a college girl type with a great deal of sparkle and viva city and few inhibitions, I thought Ann Corcoran excellent. Ruth Ann Richmond as Gwen dolyn, the maid, received her share of laughs and the recogni tion was deserved. By SAM JENSEN Staff Writer "Nebraska revisited looks bet ter than ever. I'm just as sur prised at this as any reader might be," said Norm Leger, journalist turned dramatist and University graduate. Leger, editor of The Daily Ne braskan in the spring of 1949 and past Innocents president, is now involved m the Circlet Theater produtcion of 'The Wins low Boy'." He said that he is "eniovine this experience immensely . . . rarely has it been my privilege to work with such a congenial and hard working director. Fur thermore, all the years I went to the University I attended Circlet Theater productions. I suppose you might say I'm finally getting a chance to undo a thwarted de sire to act at the Circlet." THE FORMER Nebraskan ed itor graduated in 1949 and in the fall entered the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater in New York City.

HE SPENT the summer of 1953 in summer stock in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, "just 20 miles from Gettysburg, which is noted, I believe, for some kind of war fare and a speech that got quite a bit of publicity." After stock Leger decided to "return to Sterling, Nebraska, and pay the folks a visit. While home, not being able to put down im pulses of bam, I got myself in volved in the Circlet Theater production." When asked why an ex-Ne- braskan editor should go into the theater, he answered, "I don't think The Nebraskan should take the blame.
