PETROVA TELLS
. OF HEMREER
Sur and Author of Hurri
cane" Deplore Fact that
People Are Shallow.
WOULD STIR THOUGHT
AND BRING PROGRESS
Madame Olga Petrova, star and
,uthor of "Hurricane", told Univer
Bty of Nebraska students at the con
Tocation in the Temple theatre Mon
day morning of her career and of the
things she had in mind when she
te "Hurricane". .
"Hurricane", the atorjr of an Im
migrant Ciech-Slovak family in
Texas, was written to show the neea
of training women for a profession,
,id Madame Petrova, who explained
that sue at least hoped to stir op an
argument through it. "It is only
through argument that we can pro
rress, ' she sa.d.
Training in the professions and
trades is necessary, aeoareil Madame
Petrova because all women are not
born to marry and because all mar
ried women are not happy. The need
of better regulation of families was
also emphasised.
Madame Petrova deplored the fact
that the American people go to the
theatre only to be entertained. She
declared that the theater should give
aomething worth while something
to think about in addition to enter
tainment Writing has always been Madame
Petrova's chief interest She began
as a reporter on the London Tribune.
Ia a f ? months she was assigned to
the gay night court and came into
contact with a strata of society which
she had not known before. She soon
saw that she was not going to get an
pportunitv to write about the thines
the wanted to and went into the
theatre to make money to carry on
her writing.
Madame Petrova was introduced
by Paul H. Grummann, director of
the School of Fine Arts. She ap
peared at the Orpheum theatre last
tight in "Hurricane".
SCHOOLS WILL STUDY
ENGINEER EDDCATIOH
College of Engineering Will
Participate in National'
Study of Problem.
At the conference by W. E. Wick
endon, director of investigations for
the Society for the Promotion of
Engineering Education, Dean O. J.
Ferguson of the College of Engineer
ing and a committee of the faculty,
it was agreed that the College of
Engineering would participate in the
national study of engineering educa
tion with a view to determining what
its needs are and how these may be
met
One hundred and fifty engineering
schools mill participate in the divided
program, with each school concen
trating on one phase, thus making a
more detailed investigation possible.
Interesting and valuable material is
already being made available by this
national study. Dean Ferguson is
chairman of the committee of en
gineering faculty members, with Pro
fessors G. B. Chatham, W. L. De
Baofre, H. J. Kesner, E. E. Brackett,
0. E, Edison and J. Smay on the com
mittee. This committee conferred
with Mr. Wickendon as to the details
ef the general program that would be
undertaken locally.
Very vital questions are coming to
the front relative to the past experi
ences and present practices of col
ore. Projects are under way for
the study of the entering students
and their preparation for taking op
engineering. Other s todies relate to
the teachers of engineering, the
scope and field of work of the col
ore, both in education and industry;
the educational requirements and
standards of engineering schools, the
value of placement examinations and
general intelligence tests, and oppor
tunities for vocational guidance.
At a faculty meeting more detailed
information was given to assist in
the selection of a limited Bua.er of
definite projects to be undertaken.
The faculty committee will prepare
a report for faculty consideration
cert week, recommending a definite
plaa of work with committee organi
sation to carry out the project

HOLD TRYODTS FOR
DRAMATIC STUDENTS
Announce Rules Governing
Acta; Names Must Be in by
Thursday Noon.
Tryouts for the Dramatic Club will
be held at the Temple Theatre Thurs
day evening at 7 o'clock. The fol
lowing rules will govern the tryouts:
1. Any regular student in the
University is eligible.
2. Each applicant must try out in
part of a scene from some play, orig
inal or otherwise.
3. The name of the applicant title
or play, role, and time for tryout
must be left at the offices of the
Dramatic Department before Thurs
day noon.
4. Three minutes will be granted
to each individual applicant Five
minutes will be granted to any two
applicants trying out together.
The Dramatic Clnb is one of the
oldest organizations of its kind on
the campus. It was first organised in
1900 for the purpose of promoting
interest in Dramatic activities. The
records of the club show that the
first meeting was held in the old
University Chapel, February 28,
1900. H. Alice Howell, who is now
the head of the dramatic department
and director of the University Play
ers, was elected president, and Miss
Bailey secretary-treasurer
During the twenty-four years the
Dramatic Club has been on the Uni
versity campus, it has produced and
sponsored many public performances
at the University and also in down
town theatres and out over the state.
During the war, however, many of
the old and active members were en
gaged in war work and the club suf
fered as a consequence. It was dur
ing this time that the University
Players began to be recognised as
the leading dramatic organization at
the University and has held that posi
tion for a number of years.
This year the members of the club
plan an active program. Many plays
are under consideration and as soon
as the new members are initiated
work on the public performances will
begin. All students are urged to try
out While the number admitted will
be limited to those showing real
ability in dramatic work, the club of
fers an opportunity for students who
are interested in public performances
to develop their talents along that
line.

"A Square Deal for the Farmer" is

monopolized one will be advocated !
also by Mr. Thomas.

organized labor for collective bar
gaining, and will favor the Child
labor and Minimum Wage amend
ments. If elected, Judge Thomas will pre
vent the control of the nation's
money by any one class through ad
ministration of the Federal Reserve
and Farm Loan Banks. He disap
proves of the Mellon scheme for tax
reduction, and he favors adjusted
compensation for World War vet
erans and a fair wage scale for pos
tal employees.
Exploitations of our national re
sources for private gain will be op
posed by Judge Thomas, but he will
urge the construction of deep water
ways to the Gulf and Atlantic ports
and the development of the inland
rivers for navigation.
He will help repeal the obnoxious
features of the Esch-Cummins Bill
and bring about a reduction in rail
road rates. A referendum on war
except in cases" of invasion, and a re
vision of the treaty of Versailles in
accordance with the Armistice will
be encouraged by Mr. Thomas.
Judge Thomas was norn in 1869
and has lived in Seward county for
fifty-five years. He has attended the
University of Nebraska and the Uni
versity of Michigan. .Since 1891 he
has practiced law in Seward.

India, referring to Americans in In

too self-minded. They think that
they have the best religion, and noth
ing else is good. When they go there
they think that Hinduism has no phil
osophy as compared to Christianity,
but the fact is j-ost the opposite.
"Kipling is a lot of bunk,' h de
clared, when a iked as to the truth of
that writer's portrayal of Indian life.
"Kipling has no doubt touched some
of the mystic powers of the Hindus,'
he went on, "but be has given them a
fictitious form. He is interesting, no
doubt but a native does not appreci
ate him. He speaks lightly of the
facts; he is full of the false idea of
Western superiority.'

PRICE 6 CENTS
WOMEN ENTER
BAND CONTEST
Band Will Serenade Sorority
Turning in Most Money
Wednesday.
ASK STUDENTS TO GIVE
TEN CENTS FOR A TAG
Many sororities have entered the
contest to collect money to send the
band to Notre Dame, according to
Emmett V. Maun, chairman of the
campaign. The sorority that turns
in the greatest amount of money will
be given a concert or serenade by
the band at any time that the sorority
may ask. The one-day campaign, to
be held next Wednesday, will be in
the form of voluntary contributions
and every student will be asked to
give ten cents.
. If each student will give ten cents,
it will be possible to send a forty
piece band to South Bend. The mem
bers of the band will pay at least half
of their own expenses, so that they
will be making somewhat of a per
sonal sacrifice themselves. Each
student should be willing to con
tribute so that the South Benders
may hear the original production of
"Thare Is No Place Like Nebraska."
If the band is sent to Notre Dame,
Nebraska will be represented by ap
proximately five hundred students
besides the alumni that will come to
South Bend for the game.
Down-town stores . ill send one
hundred and twenty-five students
and many will go by train while quite
a large number have arranged to
drive through in cars. This will be
our biggest game of the season and
nothing" will help Nebraska more
than good rooting.
Students will be given small tags,
Wednesday to show that they have
contributed towards sending the band
to South Bend. There will be many
placards on the campus Wednesday
with such slogans as "Send the Band
to Notre Dame" and "Nebraska Band
at South Bend." The sororities will
solicit for one day only and the win
ning sorority will be announced in
The Daily Nebraskan the following
day. The winning sorority will have
the privilege of naming the time at
which the band will give them their
concert
