UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1015. PRICE 5 CENTS. TheDail y Nelbraskaie MET KLUB PLAY REHEARSALS GOING FORWARD RAPIDLY NOW "THE EASY MARK" ON FEB. 19 Music 1$ Now on the Press and Will Be Sold on the Campus Soon All Parts Are Now in Good Shape The Kosmet Klub music is now on the press and will soon be here. As soon as the music arrives it will be sold on the campus. This music is the best in the history of the club's work. The words were written by Northrup, while the music itself is the product of the genius of Scott. Constant rehearsals of "The Easy Mark" are whipping the play into shape and from all indications it is the best ever. Clever wit. good music, and an exceptionally strong cast com bined are going to please the patrons of the club more than ever before. In Jack Elliott as leading man and Miss Edith Holcomb as leading woman the best talent in the University has been uncovered. In addition to these, Miss Rowley, of dramatic fame in the Omaha High School, and Phil Warner of Lincoln are furnishing the clever est, wittiest and most talented of juvenile leads. Then comes Bob Har ley, without whom no show is com plete. "Bob" predicts he will score a terrific hit this year and has made arrangements with the management to secure a block of seats for out-of-town guests. Orville Chatt, Wilson Delzell and "Lum" Doyle all promise to make things go, and such men as these are bound to ring in their share of bouquets. Mr. Kearney is new to University audiences, but after this play he will live long in the memory of lovers of amateur theatricals. Of the girls in the cast, few need any introduction. Miss Be'ty Doyle, the versatile Leyda sisters, and Eva McNamara all have good parts and are bound to make a hit. Then last, but not least, comes the chorus. This bunch of girls and boys are the great feature of the show. They have taken Scott's tnusic and are handling it like professionals. The production is far on its way to success when it is handled by such a fine collection of singers. All in all, the show Is good and will .furnish to the University on February 19th the best entertainment of the en tire year. Four rehearsals are being held this week and they will be of daily occur rence from now on. " Professor Scott is sparing no efforts to put the touch of professionalism upon those taking part and last night expressed himself as being very well pleased with the work so far. The seats will go on 6ale about the &th of the month. The exact date will be announced later, so that all may have an equal chance for the best seats. Notice All Senior girls out to the party Sat urday afternoon. February 6, at 2:30 o'clock. Ten cents charge.

WELCH GIVES TALKJIN FIRST AID Gives a Very Interesting and Practical Lecture and Demonstration of First Aid Methods The few who attended the meeting of the A. S. M. E. Tuesday evening felt themselves well repaid for any trouble that they were put to in com ing out. Dr. Stanley Welch gave a very interesting and practical lecture on the subject of "First Aid to the Injured." He brought out very clear ly those things which were of prime importance, and the order in which assistance should be rendered, to get results. Following the lecture, he gave a demonstration of the first aid methods of treatment of most cf the more common injuries. The demon stration included the removal of for eign matter from the eye and treat ment of the eye until a doctor can be obtained; bandaging and putting splints on a fracture; stopping loss of blood; treatment of a wound; arti ficial respiration; how to make and sterilize a bandage; making of splints and many similar things, which any one is liable to be called on to do at any time. This lecture deserved a much larger crowd, especially from the engineers, as it was prepared for engineers, and included the treatment of injuries' most met with in engineering work. Junior Notice Meeting of the Junior debate com mittee and all intending to try out for the class team today at 11 o'clock in U. 107-D. Important. C. S. HOBSON, Chairman. ANOTHER MAN III POLITICAL FIGHT Paul Babson Announces Himself as Candidate For Businep Manager of New Cornhusker Today's issue contains the announce ment of Paul Babson as candidate for business manager of the 1916 Corn husker. He is the first man to publicly announce himself for this office. Mr. Babson is a Sophomore engineer and is very well known around the cam pus. He has managed a business of his own ever since coming to the Uni versity. Although no definite announcement has yet been made it is understood around the campus that Ralph Lahr is also a candidate for this position and if so these two men will no doubt put up a very pretty fight for the honor of financing next year's annual rig - 'L - a U CHARTER DAY FETE MIXER COMMITTEE HAS CHARGE OF PROGRAM MATINEE DANCE TO FOLLOW Athletic Stunts of Interest Hope to Revive Enthusiasm in Anniversary of Founding of Charter Day February 15 Charter Day the annual University holiday in commemoration of the founding of the University of Nebraska comes, this year, on Monday, February 15. Somewhat different plans for this! entertainment are entertained by those in charge than were carried out on former celebrations of the same char acter. This celebration will take on the dual aspect of an athletic contest and an all-University mixer. In this way the committee hope to revive the enthusiasm that formerly accompanied the University of the founding of our Alma Mater. The seven usual athletic features of the Charter Day celetffation: The twenty-five yard dash, the twelve pound shot put, the pole vault, the high jump, the fence vault, the rope climb, and the running high jump will start promptly at 2 o'clock, in the armory. It is expected that this part will last about an hour and a half, after which the time will be occupied in dancing and other social entertain ments, until 6 o'clock. Gold, silver and bronz medals are to be given, as in former years, for the first, second and third prizes, respec tively, in these contests. These prize? have already been ordered and will be on exhibition, at the armory, the lat ter part of this week. . Dr. Clapp in forms us that a number of last year's winners in these contests are now out of school and that therefore there is a good chance for some new blood to get into the game and carry off some of the trophies.. The following mixer committee has been chosen: Iva Dunn, Bertha Ehlers, Margaret Rustin, Ethel Stone, Ruth Whitmore, Paul Babson, Lester Dunn Kirk Fowler, Henry Pascale, and Ed Shoemaker. SENIOR GIRLS PLAN AFTERNOON FROLIC Music, Dancing and Kensington For Afternoon's Amusement Re freshments Will be Served Another party for Senior girls will be held Saturday afternoon, February 6, at theTemple. The Black Masques will again be in charge, and a fine time is assured. Those who want to sew will be provided with rocking chairs around a cozy fire, and those who want to play games will finda vatiety arranged for them, and thos who want to dance will find an or chestra prepared to furnish the music. Altogether, every one will find her own particular enjoyment arranged for. Remember what a good time you had at the last Senior parU ? Come out and meet some more Senior girls, then, whom you didn't find time to meet at that other party. Ten cents will be charged to pay for refresh ments. p"f7r?r?r7n Sec ,. h3 r o LbLu- Special Offer UU L-3 FOURTH SYMPHONY Will Be Given at Tuesdays " . 'oca tion Instead of Thursday iMwt bo Long as the Third The Fourth Beethoven Symphony will be given next week at the Tues day convocation, instead of Thursday. All those intending to hear this sym phony will please take notice of the change. After the strain of examina tions, this music wiil probably be most welcome and an extra large audience is looked for. This symphony is much shorter than the third. FRESHMEN MIXER IS WELL ARRANGED Committee Promises Live Party Evening to be Spent With Dancing Games and Refreshments If the Freshman Mixer is not a suc cess it will not be the fault of the com mittee in charge of the affair. All sorts of diversions are being planned for the evening and all reports are that things are moving smoothly. The time to begin has been changed from 8 to 8:15. In view of one if the requests of the committee to the effect that girls come unaccompanied and boys come alone, it is hard to under stand just why the change was made, since the men fussers or would be fus- sers will not be required to wait upon milady for an extra hour or so until the last straggling wisp of hair has been brought to submission anl the coiffure is finished. However, the word of the committee is law. The entertainment will start at 8:15. In regard to the forms of entertain ment there will be something for everyone, varying from dancing for those who think they can , to games for those who know they can't. The dancing will be in the Armory; the rest of the program will Be given in Memorial Hall. An admission charge of twenty-five cents will be made to defray necessary expenses. A large number are expected by the committee, and the chairman urges that all remember the time (Saturday, 8.15), the place (Memorial Hall), and forget the girl. The feminine delega tion will not be wanting in numbers. A LECTURE TO BE GIVEN BY OR. ORR Medical Gymnasium Class to be Favored by Dr. Orr From Ortho pedic Hospital On Thursday evening of this week the class in Medical Gymnasium will be offered a rare treat in the form of a lecture by Dr. Orr of the Orthopedic Hospital.

Mrs. Park, instructor in the course, as well as the whole class are more than grateful to Dr. Orr for his kindness In offering them the opportunity of having this Inter esting and Instructive lecture. in MHLETESAT WORK CHARTER DAY ATHLETES PRE PARING FOR EVENT HUGHES IS NOT A NEW M No New Man on Wesleyan Quintet Huskers Go Through Snappy . Practice Freshmen Mix With Lincoln High Some fifty athletes are practicing daily in preparation for the annual indoor meet on Charter Day, Febru ary 14. The meet is a big feature of the holiday which celebrates the founding of the Cornhusker school, and if present indications are worthy of consideration, it is safe to say that the meet itself this year will be char acterized by feature work throughout. The gym was the setting for a lively scene yesterday afternoon. The work outs for the twenty-five yard dash, broad jump, standing high jump, light and middle weight wrestling, and gymnastics brought forth some excel lent work both from the old men and from the newer pupils of Hercules. Charter Day records which have been passing a peaceful existence for the past two or three years, are doomed to undergo no little agitation when their birthday ccmes around. One or two of them, at least, are slated to go the way all good records go. Wesleyan scribes take issue with the Nebraskan as to the number of years' experience their center, Hughes, has had. According to reports from the Peaceful Spot, Hughes is not a new man on the Wesleyan quintet. Hussey, who is playing guard, was not a regular last winter, although he played in one of the Nebraska games, as well as in several other minor en gagements. This is interesting news. Not only must Nebraska meet a team composed of expert basket tossers, ac knowledged to be one of the strongest in the valley, but they must meet an; aggregation of veterans, men who have been playing together for two seasons. University Place, more commonly known as the Peaceful Spot, is found to be peaceful no longer. Interest in Friday's encounters is reaching a high pitch. The audience which will grace the new Wesleyan amphitheatre Fri day night will be diverse in its make up. Everyone talks basketball out there from the newly elected con stable to dealers in University Place real estate. And then there are those benevolent citizens who will be in at tendance Friday night just to get a good look at the philanthropic sons cf Nebraska whom they have heard so much about in .connection with thfl raising of funds for erecting the new gymnasium. 'Varsity practice last night was very promising, and was unusually good ia view of the recent misfortune. Gard ner at forward is putting up a gcrd consistent game, as is Thiesen. who is alternating with him at forward. Shields at center is ably filling the bounding boots of Seven Myers, whom the team lost with the bepinn'ng cf this semester. After the 'varsity practice the fresh- (Continued on page 2.)
