More of This Needed Here The new publicity plan of the uni versity should meet with the hearty co-operation of the student organiza' Hons. Not only will an opportunity be given through it to advertise the affairs of various university clubs, but better still, it will bring to public iiotice the university in all its phases We have always believed that Wash ington university should plan a more thorough advertising campaign, par ticularly in regions close to our uni versity, and we saw the llrst step in that direction last year. At that time, a publicity man was sent to various points In Missouri to tell high school frtudents about Washington. This latest move will also do much io ad vance the same cause. Under the present arrangement clips are sent each week to each organisa' tion and each department. These are to be filled out with information con cerning the organization or department. and returned to the chancellor's of fice, on or before Thursday noon. The material thus collected is sent to the university publicity agents, Reubel- Tyler-Brown Advertising company. Mr. Kuebel was graduated from the uni versity in 1907. The news is then sent out to the St. Louis dailies and to about fifty out-of-town papers. Stu dent Life (Washington.) TOO MUCH RACKET The university of Nebraska is on the city campus for all time. Such loca tion has its disadvantages, some of which can be remedied. One of the most annoying and use less pestg we have is the noise. Trac tion engine sputter and explode ; street cars rattle over their noisy tracks; wagons clatter over rough pavements; Burlington and Northwestern engines vie with each other in filling the air with screams and screeches; while on the campus the patient professors wait anxiously for an intermission when they can drop a suggestion to a receptive listener. Most of this noise is useless. Why can't it be stopped? OUR DRAMATICS A scant perusal of our exchanges is all that is necessary to convince one of the high standard of dramatics at Nebraska. At other schools this activity Is very little in advance of the ordinary high school work. The public in other college towns seems to be satisfied with no more difficult productions than "The Private Secretary," "Arms and the Man,'' and others of like standing. Nebraska was In that stage of de velopment five years ago. The recent establishment of the School of Drama has raised this work virtually from a pastime to a profession. Instead of "Mice and Men" and "The Amazons" we now have "Pillars of Society," "The Sunken Bell,' "Ghosts," and the less classical "Believe Me, Xantippe," a series of productions un attempted by any other general school in the coun try. Nor are the performances of these masterpieces in any way feeble. Com- petent critics who have seen the pro- THE (tactions pronounce the talent better than all but the beet professionals on 1.11 RIAKB IWSW now have the rare opportunity of see ing the standard plays produced by real artists. "The Melting Tot" will he no AMAiition to the rule. Let's give it our support. UNIVERSITY NOTICES Girls Club party, Saturday After noon, February 5. in Faculty hall, the Temple.

WISCONSIN SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM ENDORSED Endorsement of the work of Wis- onsin schools of journalism, of which that at the University of Wisconsin is the oldest and largest, was given by the Wisconsin City Editors' asso ciation at its meeting in Milwaukee last week. Paul F. Hunter, president of the City Editors 'association, praised the work of schools of Journalism, and Prof. W. G. Bleyer of the university and other heads of departments of Journalism were elected honorary members of the association. The fol lowing resolutions were adopt Hi: "Whereas, certain educational in stitutions in Wisconsin have estab lished courses in journalism and made them a part of a certain curri culum, and "Whereas, we sincererly appreciate any effort on the part of educators to improve newspaper work, "Therefore, be it resolved, that we as members of the Wisconsin City ti A I L Y NEBRASKA!! Editors' association, Individually and .n nrrantcAtlon. express our ap preciation of such efforts and offer our hearty co-operation; and be it further "Resolved, that we elect as honor ary members the heads of the schools of Journalism in Wisconsin and invite them to attend the next semi-annual meeting of the association." Professionalism When is an amateur? This ques tion has wrought havoc with inter collegiate athletics during recent months. We believe that Walter Camp threw some light on the sub ject when he said, "A golfer who plays steadily under eighty should be classed as a professional, for he devotes too much time to the game to call it as pastime." Herbert Spen cer probably made a nearer approach to the true definition when he re marked to the man who vanquished him at billiards, "Sir, a proper pro ficiency in this game is commendable, but such skill as you show argues a misspent youth."

The par tial eclipse of the sun began at 8:50 J o'clock this morning. It will last ex- jactly two hours and will reach its maximum size at about 10 o'clock. The present eclipse will be total only in central Colombia and in the Guadeloupe Islands. It will be visi- all over South and North Amer- ica, a part of Africa and Europe. In the British Isles it will be seen just two minutes before sunset. The total eclipse in Colombia will last only two and half minutes. Frofessor C. D. Swezey says that the present eclipse will cover about one-half of the sun's surface. Conse quently he thinks that the sky will not be darkened very much. The best and simplest way to view the eclipse is with common smoked glass. Just take a piece of a broken window pane and. hold it over a can dle flame a few moments. The glass will be covered with a black soot, through which the sun may be safely observed. Another way is to darken a room, let the sun's rays enter through a small pin hole or crack and fall upon a white screen several feet away. On the screen will then be seen the spherical shape (would you call it shadow?) of the sun. A pa tient observer can note the progress of the moon on this screen. The next total eclipse that will be seen in. Nebraska will occur June 8, 1918. The area of total eclipse will then cut across Nebraska, Kansas and on down to Florida. It will also be visible in Portland, Ore., and Denver. It will not be seen in Europe. A par tial eclipse of the moon will take place July 14, 1916. It will be visible in North and South America, Atlantic ocean and South Pacific ocean. Professor G. A. Loveland predicts a fair day and only partial cloudiness.
