general chairman Monroe D. Glea
son. The decoration committees and
as many of the cadet officers associ
ation as could be present were decor
ating the Auditorium all day yester

streamers, serpenties, balloons, and
other decorations will be used. Sa
bers, machine guns, one pounders,
flags and othe military regalia will
be evident in profusion at the ball

walls for use of the dancers. An
other booth at the end will dispense
refreshments. A ten piece orches
tra will furnish the music.

student colonels and the members of
all the R. O. T. C. units in the Sev
enth Corps Area.

cers. All who are not cadet officers
will view the march and presentation

PLAYERS STAGE
FAMOUS DRAMA
Miss Alice Howell, Hart Jenks
Herbert Yenne are in Lead
ing Roles.
HAUGSETH DESIGNS
SCENERY FOR PLAY
With a prologue that approached
being humorous, and a conclusion
which, in its dramatic and human ap
peal, moved the audience to tears,
the University Plrvers presented the
famous melodrama "Madame X" in
the Temple auditorium last night.
Taken as a whole, the acting was
superb, with Miss Alice Howell, Her
bert Yenne and Hart Jenks in the
leading roles. Cyril Coombs did
some very good acting and received
many laughs.
In comparison with the rest of the
play, the prologue was decidedly
poor, but as the play progressed, it
improved until it approached per
fection at the denoument.
The scenery which was specially
designed by Mr. Haugseth, instructor
in the School of Fine Arts, was good.
The setting in the last act, that of
the court room, was exceptionally
well done and appropriate.
The play "Madame X" is one of
the best known to modern audiences.
It deals with a mother who is turned
out of her husband's house because
of her desertion and who finally sees
and is saved by her son to whom she
is unknown. .
The acting was very difficult but
was done very satisfactorily. The
court room scene, which was by far
the most difficult of all, was so real
istic and so well done, that nothing
but a god impression could have been
left with the audience.
COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
TO BE REORGANIZED
Society of Foreign Students
Revived ; Will Receive New
Members Soon
The Cosmopolitan club, a society
mainly for foreign students, which
was organized at the University be

club was not made operative at that
time. Earl Smith, who was elected
president last spring, is directing the
work.
Membership has been restricted to
men, but this year tne plans are to
admit women also. All foreign stu
dents and a limited number of Amer

spirit of cosmopolitan friendship
between foreign and American stu

at 3 o'clock in Faculty hall. Dr.
Louis Gray will speak on, " Religions
of India.'? .
Engineers Hear . Fee
and Engberg Speak
O. J. Fee and Dean Carl Engberg
spoke Thursday morning at the
monthly meeting of the American
Society of Civil Enginers.
Mr. Fee discussed the many engi
neering problems with which he has
to deal. Hee mphasized the fact that
in the present age, any profession
calls for a certain amount of sales
manship ability.
Dean Engberg gave a fifteen min
ute talk on "Know these things well
of which ye speak lest ye not have
faith."

crying, crying because she had
made a mistake; because she had
been negligent.
Her picture was not in the 1924
Cornhusker.
She had disregarded repeated war

in January. Today, May 15, she

feel repentant, but gaining conso

1923 gridiron season at the Corn
husker banquet. The twenty-one
football letter men of the past sea
son will be present, and together
with the coaching staff will be the
honored guests of the coming feast,
This is the one big chance for all
University men to rejoice over the
recent grid season as well as the sue
cessful completion of the Memorial
Stadium. Last year's banquet was
the largest ever seen at Nebraska
and plans are well under way to
make the coming event even better
than the 1922 affair. The commit
tee of Innocents in charge of the
Cornhusker banquet has a full pro
gram for next Friday night includ
ing two orchestras, the Serenaders
and the Kandy Kids, who, will fur
nish music during the banquet.
Tickets for the Cornhusker ban
quet will be put on sale today in the
Student Activities office for $1.00
and for the convenience of the stu
dents each fraternity house has been
issued tickets
The Vikings and Iron Sphinx will
also sell tickets on the campus dur
ing the coming week. VBuy your
ticket early" is the appeal of the
committee in charge. By setting
the price at one dollar the committee
gives the banquet at nearly cost and
in order to 'handle the meal in the
most economical way, it will be
necessary to know ' how many will
attend by Thursday afternoon.
Next Friday night has also been
set aside for the annual co-ed's cos-

And, above all, she had sold the
Cornhusker on the campus. She had
bought one and she had been vitally
interested in the progress of "the
"Pioneering Cornhusker," but she
had neglected to go to Dole's.
You will have plenty of opportu
nity to have your picture taken
but the sales campaign ends today.
Be certain that your name is on the
list of those who have ordered their
1924 Cornhusker.

of the Cornhusker sales campaign,
Kappa Alpha Theta is still in the

most yearbooks. The race is unus
ually close, the Thetas leading Alpha
Phi by a very small margin. Chi
Omega, Alpha Theta, and Kappa
Kappa Gamma are trailing the lead
ers closely, the outcome of the race
is very much in doubt.
The contest closes at noon today.
This will be the last chance for stu
dents to place their order for a book.
Committees are doing their best this
morning to reach everyone who de
sires a Cornhusker so that no extra
books will have to be ordered.
Each subscription entitles the sub
scriber to vote for five men and five
women who he thinks are representa
tive Nebraskans. The vote has been
very heavy so far, and the race is
close among the leading twenty.
This morning is the last chance to
vote, as the balloting closes at noon.
The ten leading men and women at
the close of yesterday's balloting,
were the following:
Women
Amy Martin, Ruth Miller, Ruth
Small, Josephine Schramek, Helen

Dietrich Dirks, Charles Mitchell,
Welch Pogue, Carl Kruger, Herbert
Brownell, Kenneth Cozier, Robert
Craig, Stephen King.
A page in the Cornhusker will be
given to each of the ten leading stu
dents. These pages will constitute
a special section in the annual of
1924.
Plans for the 1924 book, according
to the editor, are for a larger and
more representative yearbook. The
size will be the enlarged to 9 by 12
inches in contrast to the 8 1-2 by 11
of previous years. The number of
pages will also be increased. The

be awarded them when the Cornhus
kers are published. The twenty
