Setting-parlor of modern home in 1926. Players Jack, the person at whom the question was aimed, and a girl still young. She was a freshman at the University of Nebraska in 1925. They were on the sofa. Nothing more startling was their amusement than a glance again through an old Cornhusker "Your" Cornhusker of 1923. They were looking at the picture of the 1923 seniors. Although they were at the letter "H" In the alpha bet and Jack's name began with H the girl scanned the pages in vain for a glimpse of his face. "Your picture surely is here some place," she assured herself as she kept looking. , - i Jack was diplomatic and tried to change the subject "That's a nice rug in this room,' he offered. The girl, only mildly Interested in rugs at this particular time, kept on in search of Jack's picture in the senior section. He knew only too well it wasn't there. He remembered he had been urged to have it taken, but be didn't It was too much bother, he bad said PAN-HEL FORMAL TO HAVE MANYFEATUBES Kosmet Klub Promises Many Surprises for Those At tending Party. "Underneath the Chinese Moon," by C. L. Combs, one of the many un usual clever song numbers to be feat ured In the annual Kosmet Klub pro duction this year will be played as n special number at the Pan-Helleuic formal to be given February 23. Many other clever Innovations will be introduced during the progress of the frolic of the Greeks at the Au ditorium the night of the big formal according to the report of the Kos met Klub which is sponsoring the re vival of the traditional party. The annual affair which has been neglect ed for four or five years promises to be the biggest event of the formal season. The feature song number to be played is an original composition by Mr. Coombs the author of this year's Kosmet Klub musical comedy. It is one of the snappy numbers which will grace the production of the an nual play. The Kosmet Klub is .concentrat ing much time and energy to make the 1923 Pan-Hellenic formal the best party of the University social season. Tickets for the party have been apportioned to the various frat ernities and are in great demand. Several fraternities announce that they have gone "over the top" and !nt more representation. Dictating your letters is a more ex pensive method, unless you count the time you would lose looking up the spelling of words. at the time. He remembered he had argued with ,one of his fraternity brothers that it wasn't worth it. Jack tried to show the girl that he (Mdn't care whether his picture was there or not it was such a trivial thing. But his other college romance had "flunked out." He liked this girl and he cared just a little bit inwardly that perhaps she thought him a cheap skate because he had not had his picture taken for the senior section of the college annual his last year in school. "Why, Jack, weren't you quite prom inent in school affairs? Why didn't you have your picture taken? Here's Cob there's Bill and look over here there's Jim.' The situation was embarrassing. Jack was overwhelmingly "squelched." And the girl in the case had a right to squelch him. He had come to the conclusion that while it had seemed a little thing at the time, memories of school activities are somewhat dimmed in later years, when you fail to see your own face among those of your classmates in your class section. Moral If you are a junior, or senior, have your picture taken for the 1923 Cornhusker at once. The deadline is Monday, February 12.

Miss Royden is rennowned fcr the ability as i speaker, which is largely due to hei intense sincerity, according to Rev Hudson Shaw, of Oxford University. Coupled with this sincerity such qual ities as an appealing voice, a logical mind, courage, and humor are also at tributed to Miss Royden by those who have heard her. Miss Roy don is the daughter of S:i Thomas Roydon and who educated a Oxford. She was denied a degr because if her sex. After a year's A'ork in the slums of Liverpool, she b.'tame aa assistant in a remote Eng lish village her Shakesperean recit als led to her appointment as th first women lecturer on the Oxford staff in 1905. After three years, she resigned to fling herself into the suf frage campaign during which she ed ited the "Common Cause" and lee tured throughout England.

The pulp;; might lose the stigma of being 'rr ard's castle' if the innovation Intro duced at the City Temple- were to become general. Miss Maude Roy den has inaugurated the practice of inviting and answering questions ut on the subject of the Sermon." Pall Mall Gazette, v "She Is a speaker of very unusual charm.

Liverpool Post SIGMA DELTA CHI WILL NOT ACCEPT CENSORING OF ANNUAL PUBLICATION Men's Professional Journalistic Fraternity Resents Action Taken Yesterday by Student Publication Board Showing Lack of Confidence in Its Judgment for the Sheet. BALLOT WILL BE TAKEN TODAY ON PUBLICATION Boxes Will Be Placed in Social Science Building, University Hall and Library Where Students May Drop Votes Re garding "Censored" or "Uncensored" Paper for Program. Sig n a Delta Chi announced last evening after a meeting at the Cornhusker office that it would not sponsor or have any thing to do with the publication of the Shun at University Night this vcar. This action followed closely upon the decision of the Stu dent Publication Board to censor the articles before publication. The, following statement issued at the close of the meeting, indicates clearly the decision of the membors of the Journalistic fraternity: T TO Will Also Act As Board of Cen sors for Skits on Uni Night Program. To censor the "Evening Shun" and al the skits which will be presented at University Night, a committee composed of the president of the In nocents, the pres'dent of 'Mortar board, and a student member of tho Publication Board was appointed by Chancellor, at the instigation of the acuity committee on Student Organ izations and Social Functions. The committee will be composed ot Valora Hullinger, president of the senior girls' organization; Chauncey Nelson, prisldent cf the men's society. I and Joe Noh. elected by the Publica tion Board to serve. The faculty committee, which rec ommended the appointment of the censoring committee. Is made up of Dean Amanda Heppner, Dean Fred T. Dawson, and Professors Rankin and Sanford, and Professor Scott, chairman of the Inter-Fraternity Council and Miss Marguerite Mo Phee, chairman of the Pan-Hellenic council. The statement issued yesterday by the Chancellor follows: "I hereby appoint the following committee of students to censor the skits to appear in University Nighi and the student publication known as the "Shun": the president of the In nocents Society, the president of Mor tarboard, and one student member of the Publication Board (the Publica tion Board to select its representa tive)." S. AVERY, Chancellor. The action of the Chancellor comes as the result of charges that the ma terial used In the "Shun" and in the University Night skits in past years has been questionable. University Night is an annual . fair staged under the auspices of to. University Y. M. C. A. The "Evening Shun" is a scandal sheet published for University Night by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fratern ity. . Getting a camel through a needle's eye is child's play compared with get ting a progressive idea through a con servative's head. Nebraskans Will Have Chance to Entertain Foreign Visitors Soon Three foreign students Hans Teis ler, Piet Roest, aid Jorgen Wolck are coming to our shores February 12 and will remain with us for three days. They will be our quests and it will be our duty to entertain them and show them, not only the Amer ican spirit, but also the spirit of the Univoj-sity of Nebraska. Last summer, when a group cv American students visitea' Europe, they were given a royal welcome and feted to the last degree. Rates were reduced for them, and regardless ol the condition of Europe, the Amer ican students were made to feel the hospitality and friendliness so char acteristic of European countries. These three young foreigners will be able to give us anthentlc and in There will he no "Evening Shun." For years the "Evening Shun" has ben the head line attraction of Uni versity Night. For y.ravs University Nioht has been iie most talked-of and popular trail. ct m r iho Unlvcr- l of Nebraska. Put there will fce no "Evening Shun." Why? For eleven years Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalistic frat ernity, has edited the "Evening Shun." And this body of men have provided the University's scandal sheet each year gladly and without pecuniary benefit. The men of Sig ma Delta Chi have had complete charge of the paper. But no longer it seems are the men of Sigma Delta Chi capable of judging what should appear In the "Evening Shun" and what should be omitted. A board of censors has been provided. Therefore Sigma Delta Chi will not issue any publication on University Night. It gives way to any organiza. tion or group willing to edit a sheet subject to the censorship of a board composed of the president of the In. nocents, the president of the Mortar boards, and the senior member of the Student Publication Board'. Sigma Delta Chi would not ask such a com mittee to be responsible for anything which might appear in a sheet. Sigma: Delta Chi, as an organization, is will ing and ready to be held responsible. But to force such a task on any com- j mitte would be Imposing too much of an obligation. Sigma Delta Chi does not fear censorship. It is willing to assume this duty itself and answer for anything which appears in the "Evening Shun." But there will be no "Evening Shun." That is unless the students of the University of Nebraska by a popular vote convince the Publica tion Board that they want an "Eve ning Shun." uncensofed. A ballot on the question appears in the Nebras kan today. May 5 Is Bate Set for Farmers Fair The Fanners' Fair board and com mittee chairman met Tuesday evening to discuss the plans for the fair, which comes in the spring.
