which is one of 'man's oldest
professions, is highly inter
esting and technical work."
"It calls for a great deal
of training and experience
before a person can handle
white hot glass, at 1200 de
grees, without being burned,"
he said.
Early Start

The plan used three years

"This is the time of the
years for influenza," stated
Dr. Fuenning, "so there is a

Nixon Plans
Not Definite
On NU Visit
The Young Republicans re
ceived word Tuesday that
Vice-President Richard Nixon
has not made definite plans
to visit the campus while in
Nebraska in March.
Rod Ellerbusch, president
of the Young Republicans,
sent a letter to Nixon request
ing him to visit our campus
w hile in Nebraska.
Following is a telegram sent
to the YRs from Nixon.'
"My thanks for your letter
of Dec. 23 with furthr refer
ence to your cordial invitation
to visit the University of Ne
braska. Unfortunately, it will
not be possible for me to set
up, on a final basis, the sched
ule for the time I will be in
Lincoln in March until some
time nearer to the date of my
visit. I shall be in touch with
you when I have determined
what my schedule will be. Re
gards" Richard Nixon.
Ellerbusch is still in hopes
that Nixon will be able to visit
our campus.
"We have been assured by
state party officials that a
campus visit ranks high m pri
ority for his time while he is
in Lincoln," said Ellerbusch.

in the romance of Sid and
Babe but Gladys, Hasler'f
secretary, saves the day with
a secret key solving every
one's trouble.
Mrs. Bonna Tebo Hayes,
dramatics director for the
show, described the show as
a clever comedy which lends
easily to theatrical staging.
The novel excitement and
gayness of the play capti
vates the audience from the
beginning, she said.
Fine Scenery
Mrs. Hayes mentoned Her
nando's Hideaway and the
rally as two scenes that would
be unusual because of the
fine scenery.
She predicted the fine mu
sic and dance numbers
planned will also help to make
the show a success. Musical
hits featured in "The Paja
ma Game" are "Hernado's
Hideawav." "Steam Heat,"
"Not at All In Love," as wen
as many others.
Mrs. Hayes remarked cast
ing of the play was very diffi
cult because of the number
of excellent people trying out.
She said 50-60 persons tried
out for parts in the play.
She feels the cast repre
sents a good cross section of
the campus as it includes
graduate and undergraduate
: students as well as repre
sentatives from many of the
colleges.
Rehearsals will be held this
week Wednesday through Fri
day at 7:30 in the Student
Union. Seturday's rehearsal
will be held at 2 p.m.
Practices will also be heid
each night next week at 7:30
