Tho program is complete. The
Evening Shun" has gone to press.
Everything is set for the greatest
University Night that students at Ne
braska have been privileged to wit
ness. The curtain will go up for the
first act promptly at 8:15 p. m. to
morrow night at both the Orphcum
ami Temple theaters.
The largest crowd in the history of
University Night is expected to pack
both show houses. All of the tickets
for both places were sold out a few
days ago. The demand for tickets
has been greater this year than in
any other year of the production.
Ten acts will be included in the 1923
production. The management of the
production has arranged the program
so that the Orpheum and Temple will
have the same acts but they will be
put on in a little different order at
both places.
The five full stage acts include a
minstrel show by the Corncobs, Ne
braska's stellar "pep" producers and
a clever act by Theta Sigma Phi, wo
man's honorary journalistic fraternity.
The Military department is offering a
skit that has never been duplicated
on any stage here in Lincoln and very
few throughout the United States.
The Laws hold a prominent place
on the program and are sure to have
an act that will be up to the Law
standard of other years. They are
also offering' something entirely dif
ferent than has been produced in pre
vious years. The Delian Literary So
ciety is offering a modern version of
Coueisms as pertaining to the Univer
sity. It is a clever piece of work car
ried out very well in every detail.
The other full stage act will be put
on by the Engineers who have some
thing entirely original this year. An
unequaled assortment of musical tal
ent greeted the committee when the
call was first sounded for skits but
only the best has been picked from
this large assortment. A Musical
Mixture, featuring Keith Tyler at the
piano and Bob Slaymaker on the
Xylophones with Joe Zimmerman add
ing a few vocal numbers will make
one of the acts. Marshall and Moore
are olTering a skit entitled "Exposed
Facts,'' which is sure to please every
one and is entirely original.
Bill Wright and "Spiv" Eyth are of
fering a black face stunt with songs
and dances and they will also sing
their own and original song, "I Ain't
Been Done Right By," which is one of
the cleverest pieces of harmony of
fered this year. Before the beginning
of the performance, a short prologue
will be offered at which time the win
ners of the "Cat Contest" will be
awarded the prizes. A large number
of guesses have already been handed
in and two prominent University peo
ple are reported to be in a close race
for first prize.
Following the production the "Eve
ning Shun" will be sold in the lobbies
of both the Orpheum and Temple the
aters, by members of Sigma Delta
Chi, men's professional journalistic
fraternity. President Boyer reported
last night that the little yellow sheet
had already gone to press and 2,500
copies are being printed to sell to the
student body. The price will be five
cents and there is no limit to the
number that any individual can pur
chase. A Lenten Thought

The Symmetry of Life
"The length and breadth and height
f it are equal." The Apostle John.
"The length of Life is its push for
ward, the breadth of Life is its out
reach laterally in sympathy with other

upward toward God.
"These are the three dimensions of
a Life. Without the due development
of all, no life becomes complete."

"If anyone thinks that the stPto had
been prodigal In supporting its higher
education as compared with Its po
litical activities, let him make a
scrutiny of the University campus
and of capitol hill," Chancellor Sam
uel Avery told Nebraska alumni last
night in his Charter Day address by
radio. "I do not wish to make in

years. But the old main University
building Is still the home of the in
tellectual activities of thousands of
young people."
Harold V. Holtz, alumni secretary,
a'so delivered an address. The Uni
versity cadet band and the Univer
sity quartet contributed to the pro
gram sent out. beginning at 8
o'clock.
The alumni will elect their presi

it was announced yesterday, each
president calling the meeting to
choose his successor.
The Chancellor's address was as
follows:
This is the University's birthday.
Fifty-fo..r years ago today Governor
Butler signed the bill comonly known
as the Enabling Act of the Univer
sity, providing for the establishment
of an institution of learning. The
University of Nebraska dates from
this initial legislation. On such an
anniversary occasion a "very brief re
sume of the progress of the institution
may be fittingly given, though I be
lieve that the alunint in general are
more interested in the problems of
the Immediate present and the near
future.
Soon after the establishment of the
institution the contract for the first
building was let. Bricks were brought
in wagons from Plattsmouth. The old
main building on a now foundation
is still the center of much of the
University's life and activity. It Is
the University of many of the alumni
and will doubtless stand a genera
tion or two longer. I do not wis
to make invidious comparisons, but
may I mention that the first capitol is
gone, the second one Is about to be
removed, and the third, in process of
construction, is to cost nearly twice
as much as all of the University's In
vestment in buildings during these
fifty-four years. But the old main
University building is still the home
of the Intellectual activities of thou
sands of young people. If anyone
thinks that the state has been prodi
gal in suportlng its higher education
is compared with its political activi
ties, let him make a scrutiny of the
University campus and of capitol hill.
From its humble beginning with a
handful of students, the institution
has grown until it now ranks in total
enrollment oighth ninth among
the tax suported Institutions of the
onntry. If one may Judge by the size
of the institution and the number of
students enrolled in comparison with
the population of the state, it may
be safely said that no University en

LINCOLNnEBRASKA,
Are American Students as Serious
In Their Work as Those of Europe?
Are American students as serious
in their work as European students?
This question is burldtt again and
again, yet once more it has arisen
from the dead. The occasion of its
resurrection was the discussion after
the addresses of the visiting foreign
students in Social Science Auditorium,
Tuesday evening. After answering
QUBtlons ranging in scope from "Why
did the French occupy tho Ruhr?" to
"Do you personally believe in Hell?"
Mr. Hans Tlesler asked permission
to put "a question to the students in
his audience. He asked if It were
true that American students are
chiefly concerned with tho material,
and with having a good time; or are
they serious about their work? He
asked for the opinion of tho students
in his audience. One of tho profes
sors arose and suggested that a cer
tain student, whom he called by name,
bo called upon to answer this ques
tion. An interesting discussion was
started. Later, the professor, him
self, attempted an answer to the ques
tion, explaining that although It had
been addressed to the students, be
considered himself a juvenile ami
therefore his remarks would not be
out of place.
The question, however, was not
settled, even through the assistance
of the student professor. It was
therefore thought worthwhile to get
the opinion of other faculty members,
who had actually been in Europe and
who had had an opportunity to ob
tain their information first hand.
Professor Fossler was asked his

opinion as to the relative seriousness
of American and European students.
He Bald:
"As a body, our students are not
bo inclined to take themselves ser
lously. But It's a matter of environ
ment and tradition. Our students, as
a rule, are younger than those in
European Universities. I have never
heard American students discuss
questions of philosophy or theonophy,
but in Europe It's the tradition for
students to do such things."
Professor Warshaw bolieves the
American students are not so serious
as the European students because
the conditions under which they work
are different. European students, he
declared, "are a rather select group.
Over there it isn't a question of edu
cating a democracy; it's a question
of educating a select group, who are
recruited from the Intellectual classes.
The foreign student at the completion
of his university work, before he re
ceives his degree, must pass a search
ing examination. He is constantly
preparing or this. Here In America
we have periodic examination and an
soon as one examination is over, the
student loses his stimulus to study.
All through high school the American
student has been treated as a child,
and, when he comes to college, if
takes him some time to learn that ho
is a responsible individual."

TRACK MEN ARE OFF
FOR K. G. A. G. MEET
Coach Schulte Leaves
with Twenty Men
First Meet.
Today
for
The Cornhuskcr track team, with
Coach Schulte in charge, leaves at 1:30
this afternoon on the Burlington for
Kansas City, where it will inaugurate
the 1923 track season w ith the C. A. C.
indoor meet Saturday night. The
Huskcr tracksters went through a
final workout yesterday afternoon.
Coach Schulte will not make a final
selection of the athletes making the
trip until this morning, although it
is expected that eighteen or twenty
track men will be taken to the Kansas
City meet.
Among the events which are on the
program for this meet are the fifty
yard dash, the half-mile, the mile re
lay, the two-mile relay, the high jump,
the pole vault and the shot put. A
majority of the Missouri Valley
schools have teams entered in this
meet, and several exciting contests are
expected. Contrary to general opin
ion the Athletic Club meet is not a
conference meet, and track men can
not win t,heir letters at this meet.
Coach Schulte is pinning high hopes
on two Husker "flashes," Noble and
Lloyd, to win high places in the
dashes. These athletes have been
training hard, and stepped off a fast
fifty in the tryouts last Saturday .
Lloyd running this sprint in 5 3-4 sec
onds, and Noble a fifth of a second
slower.
