(Pdi&n turned Down Auditorium At 1928 KKShow

osmeUfWroduction
of Fall Review Friday
night will mark nearly a
half-century of sponsoring
and producing student dra
ma for student enjoyment
Founded in 1911 by six
upperclassmen, the Klub
staged its first original mu
sical, "'The Diplomat," in
the spring of 1912.
Diplomat
"The Diplomat" was a
musical comedy written by
former University Eng
lish professor, Dr. R. D.
Scott The author later be
came the Hub's first hon
orary member.
The Roaring Twenties
saw the Hub's pony chorus
formed from the ranks cf
hairy chested athletes in
routines noted for their
slapstick and kicklines.
Toward the end of this
era of flappers and "O you
-kid'-'4fce Klub, in 1928, of
fered as Its spring show the
production, "The Love
Hater," written and direc
ted by Herbert Yenne with
original music by Lamar
Burling and Joyce Ayres.
Audiences who saw this
comedy thrilled to the per
formance of All-American
halfback Glenn Presnell
portraying a demure Italian
girl who was violently in
love with "her" sweetheart,
played by "Blue" Howell,
famous running halfback.
'Burning'
Presnell's ove f or "her"
sweetheart was indeed vio
lent and burning with pas
sion. In fact, such a flaring
passion that following the
performance every
thing went up in smoke
even the old Auditorium.
Dr. Rajph Ireland, pres
ent dean of the Dental Col
lege, was directing the pony
chorus at the time of the
fire. He recalls, "'We had
just finished the last show
and had left the Auditorium
early the morning of May,
4th when we heard the
alarm and returned to see
the Auditorium ablaze." -
Dr. Ireland went on to
say that the Klub went into
heavy debt ever the loss of
"all their equipment and
props, including "all the
expensive wigs for the girl
parts, dresses, silk stock
ings, and other articles bor
rowed from girls around
campus."
Dr." Ireland directed the
pony chorus for four sea
sons. In 1936 the Klub attracted
national notice as its spring
review "Southern Expo
sure," written by Chaun
cey Barney, was filmed in
part by Fox, Paramount
and Universal News cam
eras, and shown throughout
the country. j
The boys of the pony
chorus, which toured the
state during Christmas va
cation in "The Ski Steal
ers" really got a treat dur
ing rehearsals of the 1940
show when they were
coached by none other than
"dove dancer," Rosita
Royce, who had achieved
fame as a major attraction
at the '39 New York World's
Fair. t
While visiting in Lincoln,
Miss Royce and her doves .
passed on some tricks of
the trade to Kosmet Klub
hoofers.
The Hub's cast were tra
ditionally male until 1941
when the tradition "was
cast aside and coeds were
once more included in the
Spring musical comedy. The
purpose was to emphasize
talent rather than horse
play. Good News
In 1951, Kosmet Klub
staged 'iat was perhaps
their greatest achievement
A top Broadway musical,
"Good News," was pre
sented by .combining the ef
forts of University Theater
and Kosmet Hub under the
direction of Dallas Wil
liams. Another highlight of the
Hub's history was the in
troduction of Nebras
ka Sweetheart in 1929 fol
lowed by Prince Kosmet
later.
The Hub has produce!
such favorites as Gersh
win's "Crazy Girl," Porter's
musical "Anything Goes,"
"Finian's . R a in b o w,"
"Bloomer Girl," and "Hss
Me Kate." Recently "South.
Pacific," "Annie Get Your
Gun," and "Pajama Game"
have been produced.
In the pages of the Hub's
scrap book names such as
Tom Davies, Ed Faulkner,
Jack Thompson, Ray Ram
sey, Don Kelly, William
McGriffin, Joe Seacrest and
Johnny Carson appear to
represent only a few in a
memorable past

SAD, SILENT SOUND
Gone the sound of crumpling fenders,
gone the rumble of the engines, gone the
always available parking spot. Now the
air at Nebraska Hall echoes to the sound
of marching feet, the harsh command, the
blare of the trumpet. But most often, no
sound drifts from the chained off, empty
area.

To clarify the cable Sch
moker said the students had
applied very late. The com
mittee on friendly rela
tions urged them to apply and
the Council on Student Travel
in Paris had called Moscow
to urge them to make the ap-;
plications earlier, i
The applications did arrive
late but the United States
State Department cut the red
tape and issued the vosas..:
Normal processes had to be
changed because of the late
arrival.
After consultation with the
State Department and the
Council of Student Travel the
decision was made that if
the Soviets change their
minds, the ILS. will not re
ceive them at this time.
"This is a tremendous let
down for the Y and the host
of persons outside our organ
izations who have been most
free with time and abilities
in preparing for the visit of
the Soviet group. Thuugh mo
mentarily -our efforts seem
to toe Sruitless perhaps jiur
orientation will lead ois to ac
tive concern regarding the
disappointment,'" said Janet
Hansen, president of the
campus YWCA.
Three Years
The program, which has
been a three year program be
tween the U.S. and the USSR,
has included U.S. student
visits to the Soviet Union
during the summer and So
viet -visits to the U.S. during
the winter. Twenty-four Rus
sians had been named to
visit .during October and No-,
vember.
'"We do not know if this
cancellation will have sny
bearing on students who would
be traveling from the U.S. to
the USSR next summer but
there may be some change of '
relationships following the
presidential elections," said
Schmoker.
During the summer pro
gram one of the U.S. students
on the student xchange was
dismissed from the Soviet
Union. He will be in Lincoln
Friday meeting with the area
board of the YMCA and also
with officers oi the Student
YW-YMCA groups.
Preparations for the So
viets' visit began last March
when an Executive Commit
tee was formed. Chairmen
were named for five com
mittees. Thirty hosts were se
lected and .an extensive sum
mer reading program was
carried out.
This fal University ani
Wesleyan professors c a n
ducted training seminars for
the hosts and other people
who would be entertaining or
visiting with the guests. Ex
tensive program plans had
been made with governmental
offices, industries, schools
and agriculture areas.
Many Lincoln families had
hoped to show the guests mid
western family life on Satur
day and Sunday evenings,
Farmhouse, Zeta Beta Tau
and Love Memorial Hall as
well as Phi Kappa Taa on
Wesleyan campus bad pre
pared te house the visiters.
The preparations for the
Soviet guests have been a fan
tastic venture of good will for
a great number of students,
the YMCA, the YWCA and
faculty,'" said Jacquelin Wil
kes, executive secretary of
the campus YWCA. '"We have
gained much in the way of
understanding of the USSR.
We stand disappointed but
sua eager if another visit
should ever prove possible in
the future,'" she stated.
JUy Preston, student chair
man of the exchange for the
Lincoln visit, stated, ""I would
like to express my .deepest
appreciation to all those who
have had any part in the pre
paration. Nobody is as disap
pointed as 1 am, but we have
gained much in understand
ing through the study and
considerations which were re
quired in the planning .of the
program.

Nebraska's Dental College
provides practical experience
for aspiring dentists by
means of clinic appointments
made by students and other
people.
In order to. get dental work
done, a student may contact
the dent school business1 of
fice. He is then given a pre
1 i m i n a r y examination ac
cording to Dr. William S. Kra
mer, Chairman of the Perio
dontics department.
After the examination it is
determined wi . sort of work
is needed. The s' s name
is put on a waiting list and
and when a 'snt stut.jnt
needs experience of that type

"Each student must meet
certain specific requiremen
during the semester for each
department," said Dr. Kra
mer. Nine Departments
The Dent College now "has
nine separate departments.
The dcj. 'talents are 1.
Fixed Denture Prosthesis; 2.
Operative Dentistry; 3. Oral
Diagn sis : d Treatment
Planning; 4. Oral Pathology;
5. Oral Sur. n-y) G. "v" "an
tics; 1. Predodontics; 8, Pros
thodontics; and 9, Periodon
tics. . Fixed denture prosthesis is
the study of the replacement
by a fixed appliance an the
crown and bridges areas Al
so under this department are
the studies of dental mate
rials and ceramics.
Dent: VT nits
The restoration of individual
dental units is studied in Op
erative Dentistry. Gold in
lays and gold toils are made
in this department and dental
anatomy is taught.
Oral diagnosis and treat
ment planning (concerns th e
discovery and treatment of
dental disorders and Oral
Pathology is the study of the
disease jjro riion of .he oral
tissues.
Surgical processes relating
to - the mouth and jaw are
taken up in the oral surgery
department and the alignment
of teeth is studied in "the or
thodontics division.
Pedodontics is dentistry for
children and prosthodontics
concerns the replacement of
missing teeth of the dental
arch artificial dentures.
New Department
The newest department is
periodontics, the diagnosis
and treatment of diseases of
the soft tissues of the mouth.
Previously peridontics came
under the .Oral Pathology .de
partment. Five of these fields if study
are considered specialties by
the Dental College. They are
: ostho?.'-:'xs, pedodontics,
orthodontics, oral su: . iry and
periodontics.
'"There are various academ
ics m all fields of study to
extend knowledge in a spe
cial area,'" said Dr. Kramer,
Chairman of the Pedodontics
Department.
A new feature offered by
Dent .College this year is a se
ries1 of refresher -courses.
These two-day courses are
for the benefit of practicing
dentists.
Grants
Another big attraction for
dents are the six student
grants offered each year by
the U.Si Public Health de
partment. 1
"The Dental Student Part
Time Research Fellowships"
are awarded to a sophomore,
juniors and seniors.
Dr. Kramer listed Ihe pur
pose of the grants as "de
signed to acquaint the st"
dent with and interest him
in the techniques of ireh.
"It teaches the studeift the
difficulties and great amount
of work involved,"" he said.
Current Problem
The currrent problem of the
Dental College is !- overcome
lack of the space, accordirg
to Dr. Kramer,
"Space is our most .critical
need," said Dr. Kramer. "We
could get money on grants for
new equipment but we iave
no place to put it."
Currently the only s pa.ee
designed and set aside for
research is the one research
lab, according to Dr. Kramer..
