II PLAYERS IN
ADAM AND EVA"
-Three Productions of Modern
Comedy to Be Given at
Temple This Week.
WELL-KNOWN CAST OF
STUDENTS TO APPEAR
snme Papers in State Receive
Wrong Impression of Story to
Be Produced Tonight.
"Adam and Eva" will be presented
by the University Players at the
Temple Theater, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week. This
splendid production has received a
great deal of advertising due to its
very attractive tit' e. Contrary to the
reports circulated by the press of the
state the play, "Adam and Eva, does
not deal with Biblical characters, but
is the story of James King, a rich
New Yorker, tired of the life that his
very fastidious family has caused
him lead, who trades places with his
business manager, Adam Smith, and
goes to South America for three
months, leaving Adam in charge of
his family.
Miss "Eva" King, the fair young
daughter, contrives with the other
members of the family, to have the
Doctor send the irritable Father
away. But Father learning of the
plot fro"1 old Uncle Horace, decides
to take the family at their word and
go away. We follow the brave young
Adam through his , struggles, as' he
tries to show the family that they
really don't appreciate all that they
have In this world. All seems in
vain, when he suddenly hits upon the
happy idea to tell the family that Mr.
King had lost all' of his fortune. This
tale has the desired effect and in the
last act we see Mr. King upon his
return, finding his whole family,
down on a little farm in New Jarsey
raising chickens for a liviflg.
The story is very cleverly told and
the lines are . bright and sparkling.
The players are working to make this
one of the very best productions of
the season and a delightful set of
6renery has been constructed.
Many Favorites in Cast.
Many of the old favorites of the
patrons return in .this production. Mr.
Walter Herbert comes as Adam. He
Is offering a bright and snappy char
acterization of the title role. Mi'.-s
lima McGowan as Eva is doing some
of the best work of her career with
the University Players. The out
standing character part of the pro
duction is being done by Cyril
Coombs as James King. We lire to
see Mildred Gollehon as the snchbisli
Julie and Herbert Yenne as the poor
temperamental Clinton, her hushand.
Other members in the cast are:
Marian Richardson, Irma Wolfe
Coombs, John Dawson, Floyd John
son, and Hart Jenks.
Seats have been on sale at Ros3 P
Curtice since Monday, and the ad
vance sale has been more than satis
factory. A testimonial of the popu
larity of the University Players and
the state-wide renown which they
have earned, may be found In the fol
lowing letter received last week by
one of the members of the executive
slaff from an up-state dramatic art
devotee:
Dear Adam and Eve:
Excitement reigns high here. What
will bo the price of .admission for
front row. If not too high we would
Ike to contract for 1,000 seats on
demand. All these must be front row
seats. All parties here are canceled
and this own will close up for one
week in order to take In all of the
show.
The Village Choir Is now rehears
ing to perfect themselves in that
beautiful song entitled, "When the
Leaves Begin to Fall."
Squire Jones wishes to have you
secure a few extra pair of Opr'y
glasses for him and a few of his old
time friends.

Gum and let us know by fastest mail

EXPRESS GRATITUDE
Relieved Sufferers Thank Ameri
can Colleges for Money
Sent
With a mesage of gratitude from
the students of Czechoslovokia to the
students of America, whose support
has been largely responsible for stu
dent refief operations In Europe, Dr.
Jaroslav Kose of Plagues is now mak
lng a series of visits to American
colleges and universitiies.
Dr. Kose, who is International Sec
retary of the Czechoslovak Student
Renaissance Movement, was formerly
director of the Students Home in
Prague, which was built and has been
in large part maintained by Ameri
can students through the Y. M. C
A. and Y. W. C. A. Today, with its
6,500 members and Hundreds of ap
plicants it Illustrates both the need,
and the effectiveness of this form of
service.
The World's Student Christian Fed
eration, through which is arministei
ed the support from American stu
dents represented in the Student
Friendship Fund, has its I'rague
Headquarters at the Students' Home,
and Dr. Kose Is in a position both
officially and as a native observer
q speak intimately of the relief work
at that center. He is himself a re
cent law graduate and can speak from
personal experience of student condi
tions. He poinst out that Prague has
for centuries been a university cen
ter for Slav students.
"Thousands of Students", he says
"owing to conditions before Czechos
lovakia became a republic, did not
have an opportunity of higher edu
cation. These students are now em
bracing their rst real opportunity.
They are for the most part students
of the mirddle class proi'esors and
instructors, of employees and hades
men, and also come from the working
class. Thousands oi otners had no
opportunity to continue jtheir edu
cation because of the coining of the
war and these are finishing their in
terrupted education. A student who
enters a'university and does not con
tinue Is unable to enter certain pro
fesslons or enter certain trades,
Hundreds of students are refugees
or have been forced to change their
university with the changing of geo
graphical boundaries. N-jndreds have
come to Prague because the Univers
ities in their own country have either
been destroyed or crippled In person'
Slovakia because it Is a liberal mind
uel. Furthermore, many "Slav stK
dents hav eboen coming to Czech
ed country where they may study
and have larger opportunity to earn
at least a part of livelihood.
"But the unfortunate living con
ditions of thousands of students, their
poverty, their physical condition as
a result of poor fod and poor living
conditions, are In many cases appall
lng. I could give numerous Illustra
tions of the needy worthy case3 all
of them typical. Think of two stu
dents with but one suit of clothes
between them. One of these eats at
11 o'clock that he may return to his
room one hour away in time fcr his
comrade to eat at the same student
boarding house at 2 o'clock. They
take turns attending ciasses and in
doing; such lutside Jwork jas may
help to support them.
"I could tell much of the deplorable
housing conditions, the lack of focd
and heat, lighting, clothing and
boks. The student relief operations
have done effective work In m?etlng
these needs; but the greatest he'p
of all la the moral value of the work,

Account Of Epidemics Of Colds?
"Sniffle, sniffle", ain't It the "ber
ries", these colds that are so cruelly
invad,lng the campus? Why it is
simply awful, every one is coughing
or trying to and about a third of the
entire student body '.aire ."laid up",
(Really it is quite pathetic lo see
stalwart young colege men desperat
ely wishing that they could sneeze.
What a woeful expression appears at
all, they wrinkle up their noses, a
spasm comes over their "agile
frames", and-and-they sneeze. This
is indeed a relief for a whilj but It
is only temporary for It appears
again, this time accompanied by a
fit of coughing. A horrible attempt
to control this, especially if it occurs
in a class room, comes next. Often
times this is very embarrassing. It
necessitates excessive rolling of the
eyes, deep breathing, and a slap on
the chest. If a "fur-coated damsel,
with whom he has been carrying on a
vigorous flirtation, notices these fac
ial and bodily expressions- and Im
towns as a means of carrying the
fame of the school far and wide. But
all during these years little has been
done to show the people right here
in Lincoln what the university Is
really ccopmjlishing. And therein
lies the reason for the Variety show.
Lincoln people desire (to , see uni
versity people in action and the Uni
versity wishes to show Lincoln people
what it can do.
University Week will be held dur
ing the spring vacation and the Var
iety Show comes off the folowing Fri
day. If it is a profitable venture,
the Lyceum board will present a
Variety Show every year.
Acts of all kinds will mako up the
show. From unusual features to the
usual dance and musical numbers, the
program will run'along for eiht or
twelve acts. The board particularly
desires acts that are out of the or
dinary. Comedy acts and dramatic
features are also desired. Any stu
dents having ideas yfor 'gold acts
should submit them to the Lyceum
board at the student activities office
Immediately, so that the board m-.y
pass on them and begin work.

"But he who laughs last laughs the

the next day our cynical young thing
is not even in the class room but, as
is found out later, is home gargling
her throat and peering desperately in
a mirror, to find out if her tonsils
haven't swollen up twice their norm

All the places of importance. like
the "Rag" office, are minus at least
two or more of their officials and
over at the CornhusTter office--well,
there just "ain't" nothing doing.
It has been suggested that school
be closed and all the students given
a few weks, or months, to recuper

or not the authorities will just'y real

S
Students fromi 235 Universities
Present Report of
Activities
The folowing report from the Na
tional Student Committee for the
Limitation cf Armaments, represent
ing 235 Mens and omen's universities
ing 235 Men's and Women's universi
ties and colleges, wns presented to
President Harding at 1 o'cIock, Feb
20, by a Committee lod by Charles
Denby, .Jr., Princeton, Chairman:
In view of the fact that the United
Str.tes has assumed an active part in
the attempt to solve some of the pro
blems involved in effecting interna
tional peace, the students of America
have felt incumbent upon them the
obligations of crystallizing their tp-
inions concerning the problems that
confronted the Conference for the
Limitation of Armamonts at Wash
ington.
To stimulate interest in jnd discus
sion of these problems, me National
Student Committee for the Limitat
ion of Armaments was organized.
Through cooperation between the
students of 235 colleges and univers
ities and the National Student Com
mittee collegiate opinion has been
roused and formulated by means oi
debates, mass meetings and publicity
in the college press.
The folowing expressions of opinion
are based on resolutions independ
ently adopted by a large part of the
colleges and universities.
1. It is believed that tho series of
treaties; drawn by the Washington
Conference should be expeditiously
ratified in their entirety by the U. S
Senate because they are definite steps
toward the limitation cf armaments
by international agreement and are
indicative of a genuine tendency to
ward international understanding and
cooperation; and because a failure to
ratify these treaties would -result in
augmented distrust among nations.
2. In addition, the students uf Am
erica comend the spirit which prompt
ed Mr. Wilson to propose the League
of Nations tand the similar 3piri
which moved Mr. Harding to call the
Washington ',Con,ferentC& , because it
manifests a not distant possibility
of an organization of nations ade
quately prepared peaceably to adjust
international difficulties.
3. Furthermore, the students are
of the opinion that the United States
should participate in the Geroa or
some similar conference on condition
that the agenda include balancing
the budgets of Europoan eountrii s,
reduction of land armaments, lre k
Ing down of economic barriers and
German reparations. It is furthei
anticipated that such a Conference
will lead to the adoption of policies
by which in the future international
welfare will predominate over purely
national interests in the conduct of
international economic affairs.
YENNE SPEAKS AT
ART CLUB MEETING
The art club of the University he'd
a meeting from 6 to a on Thursday
of last week in which Mr. Herbert
Yenne of' the dramatic department
told of his visit to the studio of Miss
Ruth St. Dennis. Mr. Yenne also
talked concerning a motion picture
which he saw in the process of be
ing filmed. It was decided at this
meeting that March 3rd should be set
as the limit for acepting work sub
mitted in the competition for mem

the whole a pleasure.
"Before leaving for a neighboring
university, I have tried to put very
detail of my work in the best shape
possible so that the transition to my

possible for the University. Arrange
ments for games, contracts, condition
of files, appointment of officials,

carry on my work. The work of the
state high school basketball tourna
