George Bernard Shaw's conndy, "Androcles and the Lion," with Jess Coffer in the featured role of And rocles, was presented by the Coffer Miller Players to a crowd that filled the lower floor of the Temple Thea ter last night. This was the second in a series of classical comedies which will be presented by tha company this week. 1 The play centers around the fable about Androcles, a Greek Christian, who pulls a thorn out of the paw of a lion he finds in the forest. Later, when Androcles is thrown into the arena in Rome, the lion recognizes him and refuses to devour him. The characteristic Shavian wit and satire kept the audience laughing most of the evening. Jess Coffer as Androcles, whos9 characteristics were a meek voice and a love of animals, was the star of the evening. His rather naive humour in arguing with his unpleasant wife, and in facing the Roman presecution, was highly amusing. The performances of Lavinia by Martha Miller and of the captain by Arthur Curran, were very effective As Ferrovious, a giant who could not reconcile himself to the Chris tian doctrine of turning the other cheek, Neil Smith contributed a piece of good acting. The part of the Centurion, played by Mark Cole and that of Caesar, portrayed by Edwouard Schmidt, were both well done. Mr. Schmidt also contributed a notable bit of act ing' as Lentulius, a Roman centurion, whose slang and accent were vaguely reminiscent of an English drawing room comedy. - Moli-sre's "The Imaginary Invalid" will be presented by the Coffer-Mil ler Players Wednesday night and will be followed by "The Taming of he Shrew," Thursday. "The Rivals" will be presented again Friday night. The company comes to Nebraska un der the auspices of the University Players.

Hussey, director of the observatory, has re turned from an expedition to South Africa for the purpose of locating a site for a new 27-inch refracting tele scope donated to the University. "Psychology is the study, or sci ence, of human behavior, and the work of the psychologist is to dis cover what laws apply to' the human being, just as the work of the physi cist is to find out the laws governing the physical universe," was the defi nition given by Professor Winifred Hyde, lecturing to the freshman of the Arts and Science college Mon day evening and Tuesday morning, on the subject "Psychology and Life." Miss Hyde sought only to present a general view of the field of psy chology in the first part of the lec ture, illustrating more specifically the kind of things dealt with in a (Continued on Page 4.)

REPUBLICAN CLUB SPONSORS MEETING WILL CONSIDER NOMINATING PLAN Students to Express Stand on Method of Council Elec tions Today. WILL MEET AT 11:00 IN TEMPLE THEATER Although Luis hails from tha trop ics, he is not a "Wild Bull of the Pampas." Luis would better qualify for the title of "Mild Boa of the Campus," for the five-foot boa con strictor who came to Lincoln in a carload of bananas three weeks ago is -evidently afraid of a mouse. At least when a mouse was put in his cage in Bessey hall the other day, Luis refused to have anything to do with him. Luis does not claim to be an Irish sympathizer or a militant suffragst, but nevertheless he is on a hunger strike. It has been about two weeks since he has had food. Found in Fruit Car. The snake was found in a carkad of bananas consigned to Grainger Brothers Fruit company. Luis was placed in .a show window for two weeks, and then was given to the zoology department of the University. He is now being kept in a small cage in one 6f the laboratories. Luis is reticent about his past life, and so it can only be conjectured that he came from Central America where, most bananas are grown. Luis was probably loaded on a fruit steam er in a crate with.a bunch of bananas, He evidently remained in the crate until the bananas were put in the fruit car, and then crawled out, and was discovered when the fruit was unloaded at Lincoln. Won't Eat in Lincoln. It seems that Luis has been several weeks without food, for he has re fused to eat since he has been in Lin coln, and he could have had no food on the trip not unless he ate ba nanas. Zoologists have never proved that boa constrictors do not eat ba nanas, but it appears somewhat im probable they would have no way of peeling them. At any rate, Luis has fasted in Lincoln. Although some meat was placed in his cage he did not touch it. As a rule, boas eat nothing ex cept live animal. Some of the zool ogy students then conceived the bril liant idea of putting a frog in his (Continued on Page 4.) GHI DELTA PHI ELECTS SEVEN MEMBERS National Literary Fraternity Adds, Names to Local "-"Chapter Roll. The local chapter of Chi Delta Phi, national literary fraternity for wo men, recently elected to membership the following undergraduates: lone Gardner, Alice Dougan, Esther Swan- son, Katherine LaMaster, Ruth Schad, Sylva Kunce. Mrs. H. B. Alexander was elected to alumnae membership in the organization. The annual banquet and initiation will be held in April.

Mathers, candidate for the repulican nomination for governor, and W. A. Selleck, republican can didate for congress from this district, addressed the students and faculty members of the University at a special convocation at the Temple theater at 11 o'clock Tuesday. The convocation was sponsored by the University Republican club. Mr. Mathers spoke on the subject of "State Government." He brought out that the three branches of gov ernment as provided by the constitu tion are concurrent upon each other. "The representative of the people as governor of a state should be there for the good of the commonwealth and not to further his own political interests," he said. Touches Big Ittues. Mr. Selleck talked on "Good Gov ernment." He touched upon the big issues of the day. He expressed himself in favor of the payment of foreign debts and said that the gov ernment should never consider can cellation. "The burdens of taxation should be lightened," he said, "The government should not only budget its expenses but congress should see to it that appropriations are kept within the budgets." 1 "I favor the Mellon plan of tax reduction with the following mod ifications, increase the exempt min umum to pre-war basis, so that a head of a family should not have to pay taxes until his income exceeds $4000 a year. The tax on large in comes should not be decreased to the extent outlined in the proposed plan. The government should see that in valid and disabled soldiers are cared for, no matter what be the cost Their services can not be measured in dollars. (Continued on Page 4.) Kansas Advisor to Speak at Forum Dr A. A. Holtz of Manhattan Kansas, adviser to men at Kansas State Agricultural College, will speak at the World Forum luncheon at the Grand Hotel today. His sub ject will be "The Youth Movement in Europe." Dr. Holtz was a member of the American Seminar in London last summer. This organization studies the political, industrial, and economic phases of life in' England, after which the members tour the conti nent giving special lectures to stu dents. There are still a few tickets left and anyone wishing to attend the luncheon may get them at the Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A. offices. Students of the University will be called upon this morning to express their opinions as to the desirability of a change in the present method of nomination for the Student Council, at a mass meeting in the Temple au ditorium at 11 o'clock. Should the students at this meeting be in favor of a change in the present nominat ing method it is probable that a plan providing for nomination by filing will be vested upon at the time of the single tax referendum. The pres ent method of nomination is by ac clamation in coll'Sge mass meetings. A standing vote will be taken to determine whether or not a change is desired in the present method, at tha meeting this morning. Should the majority of students favor a change it will probably be voted upon Tues day, April 8, when tha single tax plans will be considered. Should the students vote to change the nominat ing plan an amendment will probably be made in the constitution of the Student Council. Students are also urged to keep in mind the fact that a majority of at least 2000 votes must be cast in favor of the two single tax questions in order to make the ballot 'effect ive at the coming election. It would be impossible to ask that any activ ity join a voluntary tax movement unless the vote taken would show a potential sale of more than 2000 tickets. Two single tax questions will be presented on the ballot. Students are again urged to state their opinions on the two plans pre sented. The first will favor a tax of $15, which will buy a ticket for athletic contests, publications and charities. The second will propose a tax in .the form of three separate campaigns one for athletics, one for activities, and a third for charities.
