IBSEN'S "GHOST" AT TEMPLE THEATRE Students of School of Drama Score Hit In Norwegian Author's I Tragedy The School of Drama of the Univer sity presented "Ghosts' to a well-filled house at the Temple Theatre last evening. This play, indicative of its name, is one of the most morbid trage dies that is ever presented upon the stage. It offers opportunities for splendid character work and the cast more than made good last night. Ib sen in this work has presented a con crete example of the "sins of the father" being visited upon, the son. The play is a powerful indictment of Immorality. The work of Essie Jones as Mrs. Alving and Maurice Clark as Oswald, her son, excelled that usually seen in an amateur production. Harold Camp hell in the role of the minister did excellent work. The part of the charming and joyful housemaid was bly interpreted by Louise Dobbs, hile Carlisle Jones, who took a part in the play only two days ago, gave a ery satisfactory interpretation of Jacob Engstrand, the crippled car penter. Professor Grummann, in speaking of the play, said: "It was one of the best amateur productions I have ever 8n. Miss Jones and Mr. Clark gave some very remarkable character in terpretations and the whole cast are o be congratulated upon their work." Make good money this vacation.

White House Professor Discovered It '"Hard -times come in cycles, and a Columbia professor has just discov ered the logic of it." , "Purely cycle-logical, eh?" Judge. INCLEMENT WEATHER FRIHDTO SLUFFER Outdoor Sports and Pleasures Have Been Abandoned While Energy Has Been Expended on Overdue Work While the present inclement weather has seemed a thing to be looked on with disfavor and referred to with dis gust, it really has been a blessing in disguise. "Fussing," tennis and all such finor sports have had to be abandoned, but think how many back themes are be ing written, unknowns worked In chemistry, and lessons studied be cause of this very thing. SCANDINAVIAN CLUB, DISCUSS LUSITANIA Considerable Feeling Aroused by Dis cussion of the Affair Dean Sher man Addressed the Club Quite a bit of feeling Bordering on the intense was the outcome of the Scandinavian Club's attempt to dis cuss the Lusitania affair. Dean L. A. Sherman gave an interesting discus sion on "Scandinavian Letters." Offi cers were elected for the ensuing year. Dean Sherman told in an easy and unassuming way of how he came to be interested in Scandinavian litera ture. One day, by way of diversion, he picked up one of the productions of the Swedish masters and began to translate it. He became so fascinated that he "dropped everything" to be gin a study of the language. Special stress was laid upon the love of na ture which permeates all northern literature. The speaker emphasized the difficulty of translating Swedish poetry into the English and still pre serve some of the spirit, telling how he spent a holiday in translating four lines. The richness of Tcgner's poetry was dwelt on especially. At the business meeting the follow ing officers were elected: President. A. Jensen; vice-president, Knute E. Carlson; secretary-treasurer, Helen Sohlberg; Swedish press correspond ent. Prof. J. E. A. Alexis: Norwegian press correspondent. Prof. A. S. Rid dervold; Danish and English corres pondent, Bennett C. VIg. President A R Swenson spoke of plans for the coming year. Dean Sherman was elected honorary member. When the Lusitania affair came up for discussion the storm broke. A futile attempt was made to adjourn. While no German supporters were present, opinions were given ranging all the way from exemption of Ger many's acts, as well as America's negligence. Professor Alexis was so neutral that he refused to discuss even the literary value of President Wilson's message.

Lincoln Poster Betokens Cheer Rain may come and rain may go, but the brilliancy of the Lincoln Pageant posters shines on forever. Cadets have railed at the effusions of Jupiter Pluvius (when they had to drill), "fussers" have cursed under their breath the treason, of Dame Spring, co-eds have been dismayed by the aqueous conditions, but despite all this, the posters have gleamed "like a good deed in a naughty world." Posted at the most convenient places, with their color and gayety they have silently admonished the discouraged passer-by to "cheer up." The sturdy pioneer looks towards the future with the same undaunted hope as he did when he first saw our campus. The Indians have contracted some of the grouch of their pale-faced brothers. Rising above all. the stately figure of the martyred Lincoln leads a solemnity that should indeed cause the on looker to ponder and think.
