"EAST IS WEST"
First Night of the Production
More Than Satisfactory to the
Audience Thursday Night
LUCILLE FOSTER IN LEAD
Genuine Chinese Tea and Cakes
Served to Patrons During
Intermission
Playing before the largest and Hip
most appreciative audience of the
year, the University Players present
ed the oriental comedy, "East la
West" last night at the Temple the
atre, l.udle Becker Foster playing
the prt of the Chinese lass, Ming
Toy, received a generous share of
the applause for her brilliant acting.
"East Is West" is tbe best piny of
the season in the estimation of the
critics and those who saw the pro
duction last night. The University
Players presented It In the best form
that a play can be presented in, the
acting betrayed careful consideration
of Uio play, the scenery was the
handiwork of artists adding the or
iental touch to the scene that could
not be gained In any other manner.
Quaint little Chinese maidens usher
ed the audience to their seats, served
them tea In th gaerden betwen acts.
Ming Toy, played by Lucile Becker
Foster swayed the audience with
every emotion that she felt. In her
tragic moments everyone sympathized
with her, when she was happy the
whole audience was ready to laugh
with her. Her childish and foreign
simplicity demanded the sympathy
and admiration of everyone. Her
acting was admirable.
Bryan Quigley carrying the part of
Billy Benson the ambassador from
America to China played opposite
Ming Toy. He acted with the skill
of a finished artist drawing a great
share of the applause offered by the
audience. He was Meester Beely
Benson to Ming Toy and a leading
character of the play to everyone.
Lo Sang Kee played by Lewellen
Hawley was a central figure in the
plot. He carried the part of a China
man that was to be loved and he
succeeded admirably. Adapting him
self to the adverse conditions .of
playing the part of the oriental mer
chant he played it well and won much
admiration for his excellent portrayal
of the Chinaman.
The nearest the play bad to a
villain was Charlie Yang played by
Charles Reeves. He succeeded In get
ting the audience to thoroughly hate
him and that was his part. His suave
manner, his unwarranted egotism, his
oerlearlng manner won the approval
of fhne who saw Mm play his part.
He had a horse that he wanted to
get out of a stable. The horse was
a diamond ring the stable was his
pocket, and he was James Potter the
man who would marry Mildred Ben
son ard the man who drew many
lauehs. Harold Fenton carried the
part with credit. His acting through
nut the entire play was deserving of
much praise.
Chang Lea the wicked Chinaman
was played well by Andrew Schoep
pel. He succeeded In Impressing the
audience that the heathen Chinee Is
also barbarous.
The man who sold the women to
make money and was owner of the
Love Boat was played by Herbert
Yenne In his usual superb manner.
He acted well enough to warrant a
generous share of the honors.
The parts of Mrs. Benson and her
daughter, Mildred, were played by
Vera Carter and Myrtle Carpenter. It
was upon the fair Mildred's finger
that Mr. Potter would place the dia
mond and It was the fair Mildred who
arted bored when Jimmy Insisted that
she should become engaged. Mrs.
Benson played by Vera Carter was
the mother of the family. She acted
well the part of a mother who is often
caught between two fires. Andrew
Benson, her husband was played by
Rolla Van Kirk. Ho played the part
of the elderly man who must make
the big decisions.
Hop Toy was played by David Lin
strom. He carried well the part of
the Chinaman. The butler who
couldn't get along with Ming Toy was
Everett. Johnson. The customer and
the servant was Richard Day and
Arnim West. Both were well trained
In their parts and carried them with
success. The Sing Song girls played
by Pauline Gellaty, Ruth Schaab.
Cathryn Parker and Alice Humbert
were the popular members of the
love boat.

To Bring Up Single
Tax. in Open Forum
The single tax for all students is
to be discussed at an open Forum
meeting In the Law building next
Wednesday evening at 7. The stu
dent single tax Is a proposed method
of supporting all worthy student ac
tivities, and consists of a fee to be
charged all students when they reg
ister. The fee Is Intended to cover
athletic tickets, subscriptions to stu
dent publications, and so on.
The single tax was suggested to the
Board of Regents a number of months
ago, but no definite action has yel
been taken. Such a vital topic is
expected to attract quite a number
of students, especially those Inter
ested in affairs of student govern
ment. The date and time have both
been selected, so as' to be convenient
for a greater number. With more
favorable weather than on the eve
ning of the first meeting, those In
charge hope that more students, es
pecially co-eds, will attend.

California Game Is
Idea of Promoters
The proposed Christmas football
game with the Callfornlans has
fluked out and nothing remains of
the fond ideas of the western pro
moters but lots of worn out press
agent dope according to the state
ment Issued by Graduate Manager
Luther A. Nichols of the Bears. He
expressed surprise that such a game
was serloulsly considered by the fol
lowers of the sport when It Is well
known that California officially de
clared the season closed and would
not participate In any proposed inter-sectional
clash.
The Nebraska officials have nuvcr
Intimated that negotiations were go
ing on for the highly touted battK
The Callfornlans had issued no state

publicity was started by promoters
In Los Angeles.

EUROPEAN TOUR
BASIS OF TALK
BY MGGANDLESS
Nebraska Representative of the
Friendship Tour Talks to Fifty
Students About the Trip
EUROPEANS QUITE CHEERY
Objected to the Food of the Stu
dents but Found Little Trace
of Ead Conditions Expected
Kenneth McCandluss, Nebraska
University's representative on the
American Student Friendship tour in
Europe this summer spoke to fifty
students in the Y. M. C. A. rooms in
the Temple at 7 Thursday night. The
Industrial Research club sponsored
the talk.
It was an Informal meeting in
which the students were allowed to
ask questions and many topics were
discussed. McCandless gave a brief
summary first of the countries he
passed through and the conditions the
students live under. He has just
been in this country six. days and has
not quite gotten so he can feel, at
home yet. He separated from the
regular party on their return trip
and spent the last few months in
Scotland away from all the world, as
it were.
McCandless explained the Pilgrim
age of Friendship "Last year there
was a drive for funds to help stu
dents In Europe. Three hundred
thousand dollars was collected and
sent, from the United States. The
committee in charge of this drive in
eluding Sherwood Eddy thought they
would capitalize on this friendship by
sending representatives of the Amer
ican Student Body. Forty were sent
from this country, and I happened to
be one of the lucky boys. '
"July 4 was spent In England. We
went across the channel in a littte
old tub one night and landed in Ho
and. Students were jolly fellows. Af
ter Holland, we isited the schools
of Poland, Czecho slovakia. Hungary
Austria, France and England agata
We sampled the students' food in a
number of places and always weni
out to get a square meal afterwards.
In Poland, the food placed before us
was a bowl of clabber or curds with
vegetables mixed in and a sour dark
bread. The table was a bare board
I couldn't enjoy the meal at all.
"The main feature of interest was
tha mootinir of the students. Of
course, that is what we went there
for. I have a new respect for the
European students. I have aways
had the impression that they were
sober students doing nothing but
studying and only looking at the ser
ious side of life. We were preeted
in seueh a cheery way by even Ger
man students, that, this Idea was dis
pelled. And when it came to singing
college songs and giving yells, we
weren't In on it at all.
"We had heard so much about th?
suffering over in Europe, we natur
ally' were on the lookout for It. It
did not Impress us so much by being
ever present before our eyes; It
rather was kept under cover. The
students, however, were In many
cases In very serious straits.
"I was rather skeptical as to how
the money we had raised was spent.
For that reason, I looked Into the
matter. Effort has not been made to
hand out money freely. The main
Idea was to help the students help
themselves, and their success In this
was phenomenal. You would be sur
prised the way they have gone after
It to help themselves too. Seventy
per cent of the students did not have
enough money to even exist, which,
by the way, amounted to six dollars
a month. If the student had that
much money he was considered lucky.
All students that went to school had
to fight pretty hard to get enough
funds.
"The student relief provided kitch
ens where they could get their food
cooked. At the time when condi
tions were hardest, the farmers do
nated food and the students donated
heir efforts by cooking it. Books
were so dear that studens set up tem
porary print shops and printed their
book on cheap paper, but still they
had what was needed. The Idea Is
they had to fight and fight hard to
get along.
"The work of the Student Relief
Organization has been so effective
that they have helped the students
get on their feet and they are get
ting along with rery little outside
help jow. There will be rery little
direct relief needed in any of the
European countries this year except

EDGE IN PIN MATCH
Barristers Detect Error in Tally
Now Have a Seven Point
Lead Over "Bizads"
The "Bizads" won the first decision
over the Laws in their first bowling
match on the Lincoln Alleys Wednes
day evening, but the barristers train
ed In research and analytics, detected
an eror in the decision of the scorer,
and appealed to the chief scorer on
the grounds that there was an error
in the first count.
The facts of the case are these.
The Laws and Bizads met in combat
on the Lincoln Alleys, and proceeded
to roll A three game series, total pins
to decide the victor. The Laws eas
ilv von the first game with a margin
of sixty-one pins, 839 to 778. The
Bizads took ft spurt In the second
game, taking advantage of the Laws
poor rolling, and won it by a margin
alleged to be eighty-seven pins, their
alleged score being 854 to the Laws'
707. With a presumed lead of twenty-
six pins for the Bizads the third pame
started with the Laws still going bad
and the Bizads keeping up a strong
pace. About the middle of the last
game, the Laws, seeing defeat staring
them in the face, took a brace, an!
brought the game up to a neck and
neck finish. When the game's statiS'
tieian footed up the scores he gave
tho Blznds the narrow margin of
three pins over the Laws., thereby
giving the decison.
After nil of the cheering Bizads had
left, and all but one of the Laws
had also departed, an error was found
in the count of the second game. This
error gave tho Bizads a 854 total
but the recheeking, the real to" was
found to be 841. This changed th?
total to read 2,437 for the Laws, and
2,430 for the Bizads.
Captain Stryker of the Bizads was
the high roller of the evening with
high total of 530, and high singln
with IAS. McKinley starred for the
Laws with a 516 total, and 195 single
game.

TO APPROPRIATE
NASH
AND
MUSEUM
Will be Needed to Conduct the
Two Years According
vdi iteport
Hundred Thousand Debars
Was
A gymnasium for men and women
on the city campus a crying need
for many years has been asked for
by the Board of Regents in its report
to the governor and the legislature
for the coming two years. The re
port will be presented to the legisla
ture, which meets in January, after
recommendations from the outglng
and incoming governors.
Other permanent improvements
asked lor the next two years include
an addition to the museum, costing
$200,000, and additional lands near
the Agricultural College campus,
$160,000. This land is at present
the property of the R. E. Moore es
tate. Detailed report of the budget will
be given out from the governor's of
fice after he has considered it.
A striking fact noted in the report
to the governor is that $396,3S0.72 Is
left over out of the appropriations
for the last biennium, a net Increase
of about $97,600 over the balance two
years ago. This increase is due to tho
economy program adopted by the re
gents after the legislature in special
session cut the appropriations for the
University to the minimum.
The total of $7,221,223.66 which is
shown on the report prepared by L.
E. Gunderson, financial secretary of
the board of Regents, is divided as
follows:
$4,727,606.98 to be secured from
taxation.
$2,493,622.6S to be secured from fed
eral and state cash. fees, sales, etc.
Increases are divided as follows!
$198,496.61 from taxation.
$55,802.96 from cash funds, eti.
The Increases are considered small
for the expenses ineurrde by the big
gest enrollment in the history of tha
school. They provide for new in
creases in salaries but for salaries
for additional members who will nec
essarily be added.
The actual amount asked for main
tainanee for the next two years Is
$5,964,844.94.
Misunderstandings often arise In
the preparation of the budget due to
the fact that, expenses ar" charged
up to the diversity fund which In
reality are not Included in the money
paid out for inp.intalnenee. This
comes about In the following way:
In a football game where over
$20,000 is taken In by the authorities,
about $10,000 is paid to the opposing
team but this amount goes on the
books as a 1'nlversity expense. The
University cafeteria is charged with
an expenditure of over $70,000 while
as a matter of fact about $2,000 In
cash is provided. There is a turn
over of about thirty-six times but
the total amount shows up on the
budget as a University expense.
In an effort to correct this mlsun
derstanding. a plan will be presented
to the legislature to create a com
mercial fund. This fund will pay out .
all expenditures of the kind mentioned
not chargeable to maintainence. In
this way, the actual total spent for
the two years will be shown on the
biennial report. The increased re
ceipts from athletic contests after the
erection of the new stadium will in
crease the discrepancy on the reports
If the plan of the commercial fund is
not adopted.
Four cases of scalping tickets for
the Homecomings game at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin will be tried be
for the student court the first week
in December. These cases will mark
the first which have been tried by U
student judicial organization in ser
eral years.
