Must Have Cornhusker
Photos Taken at Dole's
Hue to a misunderstanding, stu
dents expect to have photographs
taken at studios other than Dole's
and to he converted into individual
prints for the 1923 Cornhusker. This
Is not possible unless the pictures
were taken last year and used for
the 1922 yearbook, in that case, they
are the correct size for the annual
and can be used for this year. All
photographs for the 1923 Coruhusker
must be taken by Dole this year, says
Cornhusker editors. Senior girls are
requested to wear their caps and
gowns.
FOR
EDITORIAL CONTEST
'Physical Development as a Re
ouisite for the College 1
Degree" Is the
Subject.
(Special to the Nebraskan)
Chicago, 111. "1 have long advocated
the ability to swim as a re.iuMtJ cf
graduation fiom colleges," siattd a
well-known eastern sporting editor re
conily, in commenting on Pi IVIta

F. Earl Ar.ih. ny, Oxford gr.iduale
and a representative college man of
the characteristic British type, said.
"With us, there is general ja ticip.t
tion in games. We do n t watvh a
few select men perform and. :.li hough
we have our Oxford teams and Cam
bridge teams, everyone takes ; art in
f.xMball. cricket, bowls, golf and ten
nis. If America makes physical fit
ness a required qualification fO:- grad
uation, she will insure the all-round fit
ness cf students for success."
When Pi Delta Epsilon chose as its
subject "Physical Development as a
Requisite for the College Degree," and
invited a general discussion by Amer
ican undergraduates in the form of
editorials, a point of great interest
was evidently touched upon.
Entry Compulsory
Already Cecil F. Gordon, general
undergraduate chairman of the con
test, has received many letters of in
quiry. P. C. Pack, grand editor of Pi
Delta Epsilon, has announced that,
because of this wide-spread interest,

will be chosen. The Corncobs are
working up a minstrel show- with the
aid of Herbeit Yenne and Ed Wall,
who are specialists along this line. A

Cadet Officers' Club and is something
that has never been shown before a
University audience here at Nebraska.

some interesting sidelights on Uni

one cr two stage acts that night.
The Delian. Palladian and Union
Literary societies have all banded in
skits which are novel in every way
and the Laws are working on a skit

contributions to the University Scan
dal sheet, as it is familiarly known.
Final arrangements in regard to the
handling of the "Shun" have not been
completed but will be announced some
time next week.
Blonde Who Leaves
Blamed for
Who is the blonde woman who has
been robbing fraternity houses in the
last tv.o weeks? Is she sr.mc profes
sional crooks, some denizen of the
underworld, who has made Lincoln
her headquarters, or is she some dar
ing co-ed who is committing the of
fenses, either for the excitement, or
for the necessity of helping herself
through school Whichever is the
case, it is certain that several houses
have been robbed and at least two
of them have evidence that a blonde
is the culprit.
In most cases the loss in the rob
bery has been smalL A few dollars,
some jewelry, and several fraternity
pins have been the total. Most of the
men were mystified as to the identity
of the thief, and so said nothing.
Probably nothing would have been
said until the losses became more
serious, but for the fact that Cupid
stepped in and made the affair take
a more fatal angle, at least to one
man, than the mere loss of money.
There is a certain fraternity man who
is very much smitten with a pretty
black-haired co-ed. Last Sunday night
he went to see her. He had hardly
entered the room to remove his over
coat when the fair one noticed a long
blonde hair on his shoulder. At the
same time, she noticed that his frater
nity pin was gone. You know- the
rest Tears, vain explanations, and a
young man returning home swearing
vengeance on the practical Joker who
had caused him to lose the results of

Wendell Bown w-as elected presi

Wednesday evening of this week.
Brown has been with the band for

During the spring vacation the

Fraternity Thefts
many months of effort. At home he
found thut several of the brothers had
likewise lost their pins. Pome had
lost money. Evidently, then, there
had been a robbery and that blonde
woman was the sole evidence. Noth
ing could be done. The men feared
to make the thing known for fear they
would be the recipients of the old
"razz."
On Monday night occurred the sec
ond epidemic in the mystery. The
men of a certain fraternity were all
down stairs at fraternity meeting. The
treasurer was excused to get some
data. As he went up the stairs he
saw a figure come out of the room.
Wondering who the iritrduer was, he
hastened his footsteps. The figure
moved quickly toward the back stairs.
As she went down the stairs she came
into the light and the startled man
saw a tall slender woman with a coif
fure of brilliant blonde hair. He was
too stunned to move for a moment,
and the girl made her escape. The
men of the house lost two watches,
several dollars and three of the cov
eted fraternity pins.
Thus, the case stands. Who is the
girl? In the future every one will
be under suspicion. Every blonde girl
who comes out with a new fraternity
pin will be a suspect. We can hardly
believe that the girl is a co-ed. Fra
ternity pins are too easy to get to
waste the time to steal them. We
must wait and see if the daring ma
rauder continues her raids.

PLAYERS SCORE
BIG SUCCESS ON
OPENING NIGHT
'Bevond the Horizon" Staged at
the Temple Theater Her
bert Yenne and Helen
M'trtin Headliners.
PRODUCED BY STAR CAST
Dramatic Production by Eugene
O'Neill Given Generous Ap
plause Play Directed
by Alice Howell.
Playing to a capacity crowd, the
University Players presented Eugene
O'Neill's "Beyond the Horizon" Thurs
day e oning at the Temple Theater.
Herbert Yenne as Robert Mayo, Helen
Martin as Ruth Atkins Mayo, his wife,
and Neil Brow n as his brother Andrew
played the major rides. The play,
under the direction of Miss H. Alice
Howell, was well-piescnte.l and the
rough spots were so nearly eradicated
I that the whole was narticularly well-
received.
"Each of the three scenes is di
vided into two parts; one part out of
doors, showing th,. horizon, i.n.l sug-go-tini
the titan's desire and dream
and the other indoors showing the
thincs which have come between him
and his dream. In that way is sug
roMed the rythni. the alteration of
longing and loss." says the author in
s; eakinu of his play.
Cjril Ciott.Ls as the father is par-
I tit ularly good m ins pari. ira
I.amz. who pla.-s the part of the
mother, is re.-i'.istic in her part En
thusiastic applause followed the par
ents at the conclusion of the d:amatic
scene of the first act.
Mariam Sargent as the invalid
mother of Mrs. Robert Mayo, plays
a dilficult character with ease and
naturalness. Her continual nagging,
her postures, her conviction of the
seriousness or her illness, all contrib
ute to the favorable impression which
she makes.
Doctor Fawcett, the lung specialist
who comes to see Robert when he is
at his worst physically, is well-played
by L. C. Hawley. His professional
makeup, his air of the man in the
higher walks of life, his attempts at
cheerfulness bear the mark of plausi
bility, and his attitude toward the
whole proceeding is typical of the
sort of character which he was try ing
to act.
John Dawson as Captain Dick Scott
added a distinctly nautical flavor to
the play. As comic relief he also
served an important pu:p:s? in the
makeup of the drama, and did his part
in a way which brought him hearty
aprlause from the audience.
Little Mary Ellen Iawson, Lewel
len. who played Mary, the two-year-old
daughter of the Robert ".'::yc?, was a
winning child, who setmed very nat
ural, and whose actions with the lead
ing characters helped their parts amaz
ingly. William Notion, who appeared as
Ben, the hired man w ho was jibed at
in the town for continuing to work
for the Mayos, has a smart part, but
he took it with a convincing natural
uess and with that spirit which is so
often marked in the hired labor of
the rural districts.
The' scenery in the outdoor scene
was particularly eifective. The view
was one from the top of a hillside
oerookir.z the farm. Perspective,
balance, and detail were accurately
portrayed. Mr. Andrew J. Haugseth
painted the back drop on which this
scene was given.
Miss Alice How. II, who directed the
production was also its business man-at-er.
Herbert Yenne, Cyril L. Coombs,
A. L. E ir kson arid Mrs. E. W. inU
aiso served on the business staff.
A twelve piece orchestra diiected by
William T. Quick plated between the
acts and scenes.
