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.

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

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.

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."

BASEBALL SQUAD HI!
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.
