FRESHMAN ENGINEERS
"Some Phases of Engineering"
It Subject of Orientation
Lecture.
"Some Phases of Engineering,"
was the subject of a lecture delivered
by C. A. Sjogren to' the freshman en
gineers, at their weekly orientation
Monday evening. The relation of
economic problems to manufacture,
and their relation to the engineer,
and the position of the engineer in
regard to the capitalist and the la
borer, were the main topics dis
cussed. "Tire development and adaptation
of various tools, as aids in speeding
up production, is one of the most
siginificant phases of our modern
industry. The progress of civiliza
tion, in the field of production, is
measured by the tools used in ,that
production. We have passed thru
rtone, bronze, and other ages, and
low are in what is called the Iron
Age, and the development of the
time indicates that there may be
another soon, the age of the newly
invented aluminum alloys.
"Until the most recent stage of
development it has been necessary
for highly skilled workmen to lay
out work that required especial skill,

Coffer-Miller Players Present
Sheridan's Comedy, "The Rivals"
With Martha Miller, the star of
the evening, cast as Mrs. Malaprop,
the Coffer-Miller Players presented
"The Rivals" to a partly-filled house
at the Temple theater last evening.
"The Rivals" is the first of a series of
classical comedies to be made to Uni
versity students this week by the
Chicago company.
As , Mrs. Malaprop, who uses the
rieht word in the wrong place, Mal
tha Miller was easily the outstanding
player of the company. Her af
fected manner and studied coquet-
tishness effectively characterized the
period the comedy was supposed to
represent.
The play was a continual round of
lauehs on the part of the audience
and Mrs. Malaprop's unconscious wit
ticisms drew at least half of them.
As Bob Acres, a man who aspired
to "be a eentleman and pretended to

Scholarship Awarded
to Nebraska Student
George M. Buffett, who is at pres
ent working for his masters degree
in the department of chemistry, has
been awarded a scholarship at the
University of Wisconsin for next
year. Buffett received his degree
in the 'Arts and Science college last
June, when he was awarded a schol
arship in the chemistry department
here for this year.
Buffett will receive his masters
degree at Nebraska during the sum
mer sessfon, and will work for his
doctor's degree at the University of
Wisconsin. In addition to his scho
lastic and research work at the north
ern school, he will do a small amount
of teaching.
Lydia under one name, and have him
discountenanced under the other.
Sir Anthony Absolute, the cap
tain's father, almost rivalled Mrs.
Malaprop in his portrayal of man
ners. The presentation was marred only
by the acting of Charles Booth who,
as the conventional valet, overacted
his part in the conventional manner.
Mrs. Malprop showed her versatil
ity by carrying on a flirtation by
letter at the same time she was at
tempting to' bring about he marriage
of her daughter. Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger (Neil Smith) was somewhat dis
mayed, however, to find that he had
been ' corresponding with the aunt
when he had desired the hand of the
daughter. He too, showed his ver
satility in a scene with Lucy, a maid,
when he exemplified his little song
about, the gay Irish man "who loves
whoever he can."
Moliere's classic ' comedy, "The
Imaginery Irvalid," will be shown by
the Coffer-Miller Players Wednes
day evening, and "The Taming of
the Shrew" will be staged Thurs
day. "The Rivals" will again be
presented at the last appearance of
the players Friday evening.

SCHOOL TO VOTE
ON SINGLE TAX
1 1
Two Plans Will Be Submitted
for Consideration by
Students.
REFERENDUM WILL
BE HELD APRIL 8
A mat meeting of all student
it called for Wedne.d.y at 11
o'clock in the Temple, the Stu
dent Council announced late yes
terday, to consider changing of
the preient method of nomination
for the council. It i probable
that the' change will be made by
mean of an amendment to the
conititution of the council to be
voted on at the time of the tingle
tax referendum providing for
nomination by filing, as class of
ficers are nominated. The present
method is nomination by acclama
tion in college mass meetings.
. The' students of the University will
be given an opportunity to' vote on
a single tax plan Tuesday, April 8,
when a special ballot will be taken,
it was announced yesterday after
noon following a meeting of the Stu
dent Council. Two questions will
be presented on the ballot with a yes
and no space below each question.
The first Will concern a tax of $15,
which will buy a ticket for athletic
contests, publications and charities.
The second question to be voted upon
will be the tax in the form of the
three separate campaigns..
Unless a majority of at least 2000
votes is cast in favor of one or the
other of the two questions it will' be
necessary to disregard the vots. It
would be impossible to ask any ac
tivity to join a voluntary tax move
ment unless the ballot wijl show a
potential sale of more than 2000
tickets.
When the Student Council sug
gested the single tax plan for Ne
braska students seemed to favor such
action and various plans were pro
posed. The plan which involved a
large tax which would include all ac
tivities on the campus seemed to
meet much disapproval while the
plan for three drives was received
more favorably. The latest plan
favors the introduction of three sep
arate plans one for athletics, one
for activities and a third for chari
ties. HOUCK WILL VISIT
DELTA SIGMA RHO
National President of Debat
ing Fraternity to Come
to Nebraska.
Stanley B. Houck of Indianapolis,
national president of Delta Sigma
Rho, honorary organization for in
tercollegiate debaters, will visit the
Nebraska chapter April 16. Plans
for his entertainment were dis
cussed at a meeting of the organiza
tion held last night in the Law build
ing. Mr. Houck comes to Nebraska
after making a tour to the western
coast, in which he visited thirteen
chapters.
The local chapter will discuss plans
with Mr. Houck for the Delta Sigma
Rho general council meeting to be
held in Ann Arbor, Mich., the first
week in May. Nebraska will proba
bly not have a delegate at the meet
ing but will be representd by proxy.
The probability of a debate be
tween Nebraska and the University
of Oxford next October was dis
cussed. The Oxford team, which
will tour the country, has included
Nebraska on its tentative schedule.
In about two weeks the fraternity
will initiate Devon C. Eyer, Gayle C.
Walker, and Floyd Leavitt, the three
intercollegiate debaters this year,
who are not members of the organ
ization. Chittick to Speak at
