rHE Daily: N r AS KAN Set is given CLEAR FIELD FOR MUSICAL COMEDY remittee on Student Organiza CCs Closes May 4 as Date for "The Yellow Lantern." RICHARDS IS PRESIDENT nean Heppner Commends Klub upon Spirit of Co-operation Night Changed Ow ing to Conflict. The night of May 4 has been (le ttered closed by the committee on tu.lcnt activities on account the Kosmct Klub play. "The Yellow Lan tern," which is liClie(,u,ed for that ifht Fred Richards, president of the Kosmct Klub, today gave out in an wnouncement that the late for the play has boon changed from April 27 to May 1 on account of the Shake spearean play which the University Players will present on the April date. According to Miss Amanda Hep pner, who is chairman, the commit tee wishes to commend the Kosmct Klub on the splendid spirit of co-operation which it has shown and the effort it has made to clear the deficit incurred last year. The night of the Uomct Klub play has never before been closed, since it has always been given on a week night. In closing the night this year the committee is endeavoring to aid the Klub in making its production suc cessful, and in no way does it wish to establish a preeeleat to be observed in future years. "The I.ellow Lantern'' is a Chinese musical comedy, written by Cyril L. Coombs, a senior in the College of Law. The production was cho.-cn for the annual musical comedy of the Kosmct Klub in a contest conducted this winter. One of the songs of the play, "un dmieath a Chinese Moon," was fea tured at the Tan-Hellenic rormal, which the Kosmct Klub sponsored this ' winter. The party was given, ac cording to members of the organiza tion, in order to promote friendship among the student.., and is thus re viving a custom which was suspend ed at the beginning of the war. Cornhusker Yell Is Given Big Reception Nebraska is evidently a wild place according to news received from an alumnus who attended a Student Vol unteer Convention at Boston, and was a witness to the amusing situa tion. In the evening different schools pave their class songs and yells and Ih TV-nil Harrison, the main speaker of the evening, gave the Nebraska yell. Ten other Nebraskans were at tending, hut it seemed that Dr. Har rison's was the only voice heard. The, yell seemed to have been appreciated preat deal and the realization ot the truth was not discovered until the next day, when one of the Boston Urn versify representative's expressed en joyment of the evening's yells and dded that the Arabian yell that Dr. Harrison pave was the best of all. It isn't only the N'ebraskans that appre ciates the Xebras-ka yell, but also th people from Boston University en joyed it to such an extent that a check was sent to the Nebraska alum ni associaition. Wonder if they want more yells? After the big tournament at Lin coln, mx teams have entered a meet at Fremont. This is to be a compe tition between Washington and Dodge counties for a trophy cup. A Lenten Thought for Every Day Whatever of dignity, whatever of strength, we have within us will dig Blfy and make strong the labors cf ur hands; whatever littleness de grades our spirit will lessen them and drag them down. Whatever noble flre is in our hearts will burn also in our work; whatever purity is ours will chasten and exault it. For as we are T our fork is and what we sow in our lives that beyond a doubt we all reap for good or for ill in the lengthening or defacing 0f wha ever gifts have fallen to our lot. Sir Francis Leighton. Octette Is Recognized Campus Organization The University Girls Octette was recognized as a campus organization by the committee on student activi ties ut a meeting held Wednesday afternoon. Miss Amanda Hepfmcr, dean of women, is chairman of the committee. The members of the Octette are as follows: Eulah Winter, Margaret Stidworthy, Amy Martin, Jean Holtz, Muriel Allen, Gladys Reber, Marjorie Cooper and Dorothy Sprague. E L TRIP IS POSTPONED Snow-Blocked Roads Force Com mittee to Call off Blue River Auto Journey. The F.ngineers' auto trip to Mil ford, Crete and other points along the Blue River, has been postponed be cause of the heavy snow that block. the roads, Prof. J. G. Mason, chair man of the Engineers' Trip Commit tee announced yesterday. The date of the trip will be announced later, he said. The trip to the Blue River is a part of the annual inspection trip made by upperclassmen of the College of En gineering. The group will journey to Omaha during the week of spring va cation to inspect work on new pro jects, and various engineering struc tures now in use. Participation in one such trip be fore graduation is required of every engineering student in either his junior or senior year. The short trip is being made this year. On alternate years the long and short trips are made, for the convenience of students who cannot afford a prolonged rail road journey. T FOR COAST MEET Huskers Are Preparing for Cali forniaSnow Hinders Activities. Final tryouts for the Cornhusker track team making the trip to the Val ley championship indoor meet at Kan sas City and the California meet will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock on the board track on the drill field instead of on the cinder track at Lincoln High school, as previously announced. The deep snowfall neces sitated the change from the cinders to the boards for the tryouts. Tryouts in the 120-yard high hurdles and the 220-low hurdle events will have to be held on the high school track, how ever. The track.-ters worked inside yes terday afternoon due to the deep drifts of snow which covered the board track. The entile corps cf student managers in track were en caged in shoveling snow off the trae1; yesterday afternoon, and it is expected that the job will be finished today in time for the athletes to secure a light workout. At the Missouri Valley conference championship indoor meet at Kansas City March 23 and 24 Nebraka will make her strong bid for honors in the running events. Keith Lloyd and Dave Noble, who copped first and second places at the K. C. A. C. meet last month, are expected to gain points for Nebraska at the Valley meet. The tjuarter-mile relay team, which will be picked from the following 440-yard runners. Ted Smith. Ixmis Trexler. Red Layton, Norris Coats, Eugene McAllister, and several other fast runners, will step off a fast mile. The Cornhusker track team placed second at the Valley indoor meet last year, the Kansas U. team winning by a small margin. Nebraska's prospects for winning a high place in the- in door meet again this year are not bright, because of the stiff handicap resulting from the severe weather con ditions during the past few weeks. Evinger Addresses Chamber of Commerce Prof. M. I. Evinger of the Depart ment of Civil Engineering spoke be fore the weekly dinner of the Seward Chamber of Commerce on "City Plan ning" last Tuesday. About 100 mem bers of the Chamber were present. Frofessor Evinger made the trip at the request of Regent H. D. Landis of Seward, and President Thomas of the Seward Chamber of Commerce. N6INEERS ATURDAY LINCOLN. NEHKASKA, Snow-bound Streets Automobiles Bringing snow-bound street cars, hkiddinff automobiles and slow-plodding pedestrians, a soft February-like .now descended upon Lincoln Wed nesday night to an unusual depth. A thirty-five-mile-an-hour gale grew with the . storm and drifted the ice crystals into every sheltered space. About eight and two-tenths inches of snow, equivalent to eighty-one hun dredths of water fell during the storm, Professor G. A. Loveland, section di rector of the United States Weather Bureau, read from his record sheets yesterday afternoon. Professor Love land's office is in Room 305, Brace Laboratories. "This precipitation is much more than normal for March," Professor Loveland affirmed. "The equivalent of two and nine-tenths inches of rain has fallen since January first. The normal precipitation for that period is one and eighty-four hundredths. And most of that came during March. There were thirteen hundredths on the twelfth, ninety-two on the fourth ;:nd fifth, and eighty-one during this last storm," Professor Loveland ob served, consulting a bound book of carefully tabulated figures. Then the telephone rang. "Hello. Fair tonight. No, it won't be more than five or six degrees colder. Is that right? Well, it won't FOR FhESHMAN GIRLS Senior Advisory Sponsors Enter tainment for Girls in the University. More than a hundred girls attended the Senior Advisory Board dinner for the Big and Little Sisters at Ellen Smith Hall Thursday evening at six e'c'o:k. The hostess organization is composed of thirteen girls of the graduating class who sponsor - the "big sisters" for the freshman girls of the University. The program which followed the dinner consisted of readings by Paul ine Giidley, a dance by RwLillis Schramek. and a group of songs by Maigaret Stidworthy. Ruth Small played for dajieing. ' At a series of dinners given during the school year, the Advisory Board, of which this year Mildred Hullinger is president, entertains the older girls ar.d the freshman girls whose "big listers" they are. The purpose of the organization is to help the girls of the University to become better acquaint ed with one another. "Lab" Courses Show H. C of Education, Kansas Dean Says Cleveland, O. Business cost-accounting methods, applied to costs ot a state university were described by Frederick J. Kelly, dean of adminis tration cf the Vniver-ity of Kansas, in a paper read here this afternoon before the Departments of Superin tendents of the National Educational Association. Dean Kelly obtained in a detailed study of the year 1S21-22 at the University of Kansas. It was determined that the co.-t. per student credit-hour in tbe var ious major schools of the University was: law, $5.97; art anr sciences. $7.41; education, 111.70; engineering. $14.01; pharmacy, $14.21; medicine. $19.41; University average, $8.74. Student credit hour costs in non laboratory courses were found to ranee from $4.02 for economics to $7.96 for French and $12.46 for an cient languages. In the laboratory courses the student credit-hour costs ranged from $7.47 for geology to $17.76. Averages for laboratory courses was '10.72 and for the non laboratory departments, $5.60. Costs for heat, light and janitor service was found to range from 23 cents per student credit-hour in history to $2.57 for chemistry, averagin 54 cents in the non-laboratory courses and $1.89 In the laboratory ones. "In other words," said Dean Kelly, "science departments require more than three times as much space, per student credit hour, as do the non science departments. "The most in teresting aspect of this cost account ing study concerns its nse in pre paring the following year's budget." Armenia seems to have no standing in the Near East except as an unfor tunate spectator. FRIDAY. MARCH 16, 1923. and Skidding are Order of Day storm much longer. "Storming like furry, she said, where she is ten miles west on 0 street." he explained, replacing the receiver. "Yes, the wind will probably go down tonight, it won't get much warmer tomorrow. It will probably remain relatively cold, but it should begin to warm up Saturday." The lowest temperature yesterday wa. twenty-one degrees, which is by no means a very low temperature, Professor Loveland decided. The wind blew steadily at about thirty-five miles an hour, which indicates a steady high velocity. Thirty-five is the normal temperature for March 15, according to the office records, and the average minimum tempera ture since 1804 for March 15 is twen two. "March is a season of good snowfall here," he said turning again to canvas-backed volume. "In 190(1 twenty inches fell in fourteen days, eight of thrm ci the tenth and eleventh. Twenty-one inches fell in 1012, but they were scattered pretty well through the month. Eight and eight tenths fell on two days in 1014. In 1015 fourteen and two-tenths fell in three days. Well, you see, this snow fall is unusual. In only two or three years since 1S04. when the records began, is it equalled."

BY ADVERSE WEATHER Huskers to Meet Sooners April 2 and 3 But Five Letter Men Back. With less than three weeks before the opening game of the season, the Cornhu.-ker Pastimers face a hard proposition unless the weather man brings on some re;; spring, according to Scotty Dye, newly elected baseball coach. There are only five letter men back this year, about which to build a winning team. The squad has been working out in the Armory all this week on the fundamentals of the game. About forty men are out and there is stiff competition for berths on the team. The letter men out are, Carmen, cap ta:n; Lewellen, Snrha, Petersen, ar.d Russell. Petty, a candidate for the catchers job. got a letter at Ames last year. There are eleven men con tending for the pitcher's job, while five are out for the place behind the bat, and an equal number want to hold down the first sack. Competi tion for the other places is equally keen andWery man will have to show his best form in order to make the team, said Coach Dye. There 'are three men trying out for the position of junior student man ager and two for sophomore man ager. The juniors are, Witner, Fent and Thomas. The sophomore candi dates are Merle Hale and Charles Adams. The Huskers will meet Oklahoma at Norman April 2 and 3. Inclement weather coupled with the presence of few letter men in school seems to make the prospects for a winning Husker baseball team rather far away. With "Speck" Carman and four other letter men as a neucleus around which the team is to be built, the Cornhuskers hope to be in shape by April 2 when they meet the Sooners. PLAYERS STAR IN ERIE'S DRAMA ON INITIAL NIGHT University Dramatists Present "Dear Brutus" Before Ap v preciative Audience at TeniDle. HAWLEY PLAY THE LEAD Production Has Air of Mystery to Be Staged Three More Times This Week. The University Players attempted a very difficult presentation last night in producing Sir James Barrie's de lightful subtle play. "Dc.u Brutus" and succeeded admirably. The play itself is one of Barrie's very best, and Barrie at his best is thoroughly enjoyable al though his bright thrusts at the mod ern life and society in general are not the most apparent sort of humor. The play in a few words is based on what people think; the thoughts that are never spoken to even the most intimate friend. It deals with the in nermost nooks into which a man's and a woman's fancy leads their thoughts when the outward show is given up. It tells of the disappointed hopes; the dreams which may not be divulged. In .diort, the second act takes the characters to a wonderful wood where the "might have been" is the reality and the other two acts deal with the reality; artificial and displeasing as it really is. j But the audience which smiled, I chuckled and laughed heartily dur ing the play seemed to be awake to the unusual truth of Barrie's lines and followed the characters with apprecia tion through the play and came out of the theater thoroughly pleased and a bit thoughtful. As to the Players' work, the play was well done. It showed a great deal of careful work and study. Here and there an occasional reading of a line seemed a trifle too theatrical for such a whimsical bit of drama, but on the whole the cast were faithful to the dramatist and the result was thor oughly enjoyable. Some of the Players deserve es pecial mention for their work and no ore more than L. G. Hawley who as Mr. Dearth gave an excellent inter pretation of the artist whose dreams had not come true. His work in the changing moods and really different characters which are given to him in the play was unusually careful in that he did not overact. Equally well done, was the Margaret of Miss Nancy Forsman. who as the "might have been daughter" in the second act was excellent. Irma McGowan as Mrs. Dearth gave a carefully worked out characterization of a difficult role hut is capable of much better work than she did last night. The scene with Joanna Trout in the first act was splendidly done. Mr. Richard Day as the very egotistical and conceited Mr. Purdie cave a thoroughly nat ural and convincing performance of the part. His appearance was es pecially good and calmness marked throughout. Mr. Herbert Ycnne a Mr. Coade played the flute art:c:iraily ;.nd danced merrily thoruph the sec ond scene to the intense merriment of the audier.ie. The remainder of the cast includes Marguerite Munger, Viola IjOOfcbrock, Fern Hubbard. Dorothy Sprague. Ralph Ireland and Dwicht Merriam. Miss Sprague gave a fine interpretaticn of jo;,nna Trout. Her reading- of the lines was partic ularly good. Mis Celeste Leech and Miss Sprague are playing the same part in alternate performances which is something of an innovation in Uni versity Dramatic circles. The scenery was startlingly orig inal. It was designed and executed by Mr. Andrew Haughseth and Mr. Gilbert of the Art Department. The Magic wood left an unusually vivid memory in the minds of the spectators because of its striking coloring and design. "Dear Brutus"' runs three more per formances at the Temple theater, and to those who want to see an unusually good play played well, it should prove a delightful evening's entertainment. High school girls over the state of Nebraska have organized an athletic association. At the girls' basketball tourney at Havelock a need was evi dent for some organization between the various teams so that they would be able to co-operate in the promo tion of women's sports in high schools. A permanent organization was started with a board of control in charge of the affairs of the association. t
