ANNUAL FUN FEST DRAWS HUGE CROWD University Night in Its Thir teenth Year Proves to Be More Popular Than Ever. PUT ON AT TWO THEATERS Large Committee headed by Raymond Eller Presents Rollicking: Show Shun Is Sold. The thirteenth annual University Night performance was presented Sat urday evening at the Temple and Or p'aium Theaters simultaneously. Nine acts, planned lor the enjoyment of the students, exposed the Idiosyn iraeios of both students and faculty. Both houses wero crowded with stu dents, rollicking with laughter at the jokes played en their classmates. At the Orpheum, the Engineers were the first act. They presentee", "The I yin' Meter," a mind-reading Irans.'t, which they turned on the srait and the near-great, thus reveal "ng the trend of their thoughts. Keith Tyler, Joe Zimmerman, and Rcbert Slayniaker gave ati act en- Med "A Musical Mixture."'

This is a stunt seldom attempted, but it was well staged at the University Night per i'orinance. Bill Wright, Arvid Eyth, and John Fike in a skit, entitled "I A'nt Been Done Kig'at By." were de cidedly humorous. The Corncobs, men's pep society, gave a minstrel show entitled the "Scandals rf 1P23" in which true in cidents of earning life were depicted, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. The Laws staged, fcr thai deck1 ration of the audience, the trials and tribu lations of the atendant on the com- pisition of such program. "Writing the Law Skit" was the title of their offering. Theta Sigma Phi, honorary profes sional journalistic fraternity for wo men, gave sidelights on the most out standing incidents of life on the campus in their skit "TheMorning Shun," the background for which, was formed by the five .columns of a news paper paterned after the "Evening Shun" published by Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity for men, which was sold immediately after the skit by the women's society.' At the Temple, the order of the skits was somewhat different, the Delians having the position immediately after the prologue, when prizes were award ed in the University Night contest, co determine the direction of the progress of the gigantic cat. The Delians were followed by "Dili" Wright wl his as sistants, and the Corncobs had the third place on the program. Theta Sigma Phi followed the Laws, and im mediately preceded the Musical Mix ture. The Military Drill has seventh place, and Marshall and Moore came next. The Engineers, v ith their elab orate equipment, were the final act on the Temple, and after their act, the "shun" was put on sale. A large committee worked for the last few weeks in whipping the pro gram into shape for presentation. This committee, under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A., was headed by Raymond Eller.

STRICT STUDY RULES KEEP 001 FAILURES Doan of Women Compiles Fig ures to Show Better Results from Supervision. University Publicity Office. Scholarship delinquencies among women students of the University of Nebraska for the first semester were mainly among those not living under strict rules that is, who are not liv ing in dormintory or sorority houses. This fact is evident from statistics compiled by Dean Amanda Happner. in dormitories and sorority houses the number of delinquents is compar atively small. It is among women living at home or in rooming houses that delinquency is highest. Further ermore, among women who are work ing their way, wholly or in part, through the University, there are but As a whole, the nunitter of delin quencies the second half of the sem ester is smaller than for the first half. Of 138 dormitory girls, for ex ample, there were 23 delinquent at mid-semester, while only 9 of the same number were delinquent at the end of the semester. Of 414 sorority house women. 60 were delinquent at midsemester, and 54 at the end of th3 semester. Among the 170 resident soroiity girls 33 were delinquent the first quarter in comparison, with 45 the second quarter. In scholarship delinquency among women students in roominghouses, there is a corresponding increase. Of the total number of resident women students (that is, those work ing for their room and board; non sororlty resident girls; and girls living with their own families or with private familes), 17 per cent more delinquent at the end of the first semester. The important fact to be noted is the higher scholarship standard a- mong students who live in organized houses where study rules are enforc edthat is, in dormitories and sor ority houses. Where there are no rules for study, delinquencies in crease. Many of the reported delin quencies are Incompletes" and may be easily removed; but they are evi dences of the lack of supervision of study. The women who observe the rules are, for the most part, those. who keep the standards high. , rrof. O. R.

A Lenten Thought for Every Day A prayer for the day: Our Father, Lord of all Leintr. we realize how limited we are in conmre- hension, but we would know the mean ing of hfe and the reality that lies back of the things we see. Strengthen tnou, U Uod, our understandine-; heln us to see thy power in the universe above us, and to know that in thee all things more and have their beincr. When we become lost in the mazes of our own thinking and confuted in the ways of men, may thy Spirit interpret truth to us, and lead us, through Christ. Amen.
