Drake University Completes Plans For Rebuilding Of Athletic Field Will Spend $250,000 on Work to Start After Spring Re- lays Held April 24-25. Drake university is completing plans for the rebuilding of her pres ent athletic field into the best sta dium in Iowa, and one of the best in the middle west. This expansion has come about as the result of the growth of the Drake relays, and the growing power of the Drake teams m the Valley. Plans are being made for an expenditure of f 250,000, and ork will start immediately after the relays this spring which will be he'ld April 24-25. The seating capacity Prof. Pound Publishes Article on Walt Whitman In American Mercury "Walt Whitman's Neologisms," by Louise Tound, Professor of the Eng lish Language, appeared in the Feb ruary issue of The American Mer cury, published in New York City. The article tells of the many liber ties Whitman took with the Ameri can tongue in his writings, but it states they are not very formidable when compared with the ventures of American journalists. Walt Whitman, along with bor rowings from the French, Spanish and Italian, made many peculiar coin ages and manipulations when he wished to reach certain effects. When taken from their places, those ex pressions Reem forced and impossible but they are always clear and effec tive. As Miss Pound said, "They sound as he wishes them to sound and they convey the meanings that he wishes them to convey." He was very fond of using agent nouns according to the article. His poetry thronged with human types, classes and personifications, and he had a peculiar liking for feminine abstract conceptions. These feminine conceptions, when compared to some of the present day forms used in newspapers, were by no means pecu liar, but they were rather unusual for the language of poetry he wrote. A striking example of an agent- noun Whitman used is civilizee, a word also appearing in Richard F. DURAND TO BE GUEST OF CAMPUS GROUPS President of American Society of Mechanical Engineers Comes February 13. Dr. William F. Durand, president of the American Society of Mechan ical Engineers and member of the National Executive Committee of Sigma Xi, will be the guest of the local sections of these two societies on Friday, February 13. Dr. Durand will arrive Friday morning in time to attend a lunch eon of the Engineering College fae ulty at the Chamber of Commerce at noon. At 2 o'clock he will give an address in Mechanical Engineering Building 206 on "The Engineering Profession Its Antiquity and its Obligations." A dinner will be given at 6:30 o'clock at the Grand Hotel. All'local eneineers and members of the Uni versity factulty are invited to attend this dinner, arrangements for which are being made by Prof. R. H. Wol cott, Prof. J. W. Haney and Prof. Emma N. Anderson. Dr. Durand has held various posi tions on the faculties of some promi nent colleges, including Cornell and Stanford, where he was professor of mechanical engineering. In 1917, he was appointed chairman of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, an important war-time position. As an author and inventor he has also gained fame, being well known for three books that are important in the scientific world. He is a member of many societies, including the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Sciences. Pershing Rifles Test Over Thirty Freshmen Thirty-three freshmen were pres ent at the try-outs for membership to Pershing Rifles held Thursday eve ning. As soon as all the contestants had reported, they were taken to the east side of the stadium, where they were given an Infantry Drill Regula tion spell-down, and questioned as to the nomenclature of the rifle before members of the organization. Ten men from this group will be selected for membership in the organization at a meeting to be held nert Wednes day evening. will be increased from about 7,000 to 21,000. The Drake relays bring together hundreds of the best athletes from the western, and middle western uni versities and colleges, besides high school athletes from Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Illinois. The building arrangements include ar rangements for a field house to take care of these visiting teams. More than 2,000 athletes take part in the Drake relays every spring. For the past three years, Drake has been a determined contender in the Missouri Valley football cham pionship. As a result they have lined up a home ichedule which includes Valley leaders such as Nebraska, Kansas, Kansas Aggies, and Ames. Burton's "The City of Saints and Across the Rocky Mountains to Cal ifornia." He may have known of it or he may not have. A characteris tic group of personal nouns were cre ated when he shortened other ex pressions, such as savan from savant and habitan from habitant. His coinages of abstract nouns show suffixes -ad, -ism, -ion, -cy, -ness, and -ship. He uses presiden tiad for presidentship and he refers to scientism and partialisms. Whitman writes pomets as a plural to poem and uses Grecia to balance Roma. He exhibits excrementitious, artistical, auroral and infidelistic as adjectival coinages which have been used by others. These coinages and revivals used by Whitman "are not formidable, ac cording to Miss Pound, but illustrate better the tastes of the twentieth century rather than those of the nine teenth. Whitman was a serious poet, and his novel expressions loom rather large, but they point in the direction of informality and individuality in language. Announces Training For Football Men Ernest E. Bearg, Nebraska's new football coach, has requested that all football men, who are not regularly engaged in any other sport, report daily at the Armory at 4 o'clock. Preliminary work will be employed to get the squad in shape for the regular spring football practice. PLEDGE MANY TO SORORITIES All But Five Social Organiza tions Active in Midsemes ter Pledging.

CURRY HOLDS DISCUSSIONS Outlines Qualifications Neces sary for Efficient Group Leaders. DEFINES BOOK AND PROBLEM APPROACH Dr. A. Bruce Curry held the third and fourth of his student forum dis cussion groups in the Temple Thurs day afternoon and evening before a considerable gathering of University students and members of the faculty. In the afternoon meeting he point ed out two ways of going back to the records to find out the ways in which our religion of the present day dif fers from that of, Jesus Christ. Dr. Curry first suggested the book meth od of attaining this end which con sists in analyzing the books of the Testament to get the original ideas and then to make the approach through a problem. Here a problem of the present day is taken and pas sages in the Testament are used to solve the difficulties of the situation. "In the problem approach, right fully called the psychological ap proach, you must first start with the problem under consideration, a life situation. The next thing to do is to find the principles or help from ex perience that might be used in solv ing the problem, and the third step is to work out a program that will ac cord 'with the principles, either posi tively or negatively," explained Dr. Curry. A discussion group made up from students attending the lecture was formed by Dr. Curry who advocates student discussion groups for solv ing campus problems. In explaining the idea of such a discussion group, Dr. Curry gave the following qualifi cations which should be found in the leader of such a group: the leader should ask the questions, hold the discussion to the point, try to get ev eryone to participate in the group, be able to give certain data on the ques tion, and finally, summarize the dis cussion. In the student discussion, the sub ject of student honor was the prob lem used, and the points shown as detiiine.iial t. an 'honor code among the students were the feeling of the student that he is being watched, the fact that the student may not realize what he is here for, and the idea prevalent among the faculty that grades and the required number of hours are the things for which the student should strive. In the evening discussion group, the book approach to the truth was used. Dr. Curry said that the book approach is the graduate approach and then complimented the members of that group on the fact that they were capable of handling it In the book approach of the truth, the fifth chapter of St Mathew sup plied the general text under discus- ... . r sion. in tnis discussion me nve points were considered: What is here? What is meant? What is the problem? What is the solution? Will it work? How? During the discussion of this gen eral text, Dr. Curry said that every person should have some piece of lit erature, poetry, selection from the Bible, or even a letter from a lover to go back to for inspiration, as no one can live in the true sense unless he has something more than the ma terial things to help him in the ful filling of his ideals. "There is more hope for the per son who knows that he is bankrupt spiritually, than the one who is stand ing pat and ready to play the cards that he has," said Dr. Curry. In speaking about the present cus tom of mourning at the death and burial of loved ones, Dr. Curry said that such mourning was not counten anced by Jesus but that it is a custom borrowed from the pagans. DISCONTINUE TWO O'CLOCK PRACTICE Women Have to Reschedule Basketball Practice Tues day and Thursday. The two o'clock women's basket ball practices held on Tuesdays and Thursdays will be discontinued for the rest of the sport season. The gymnasium is needed at that time for other purposes.

All practises should be in by Fri day, February 20. There will be an other week of make-up practice after that date, however. Ten practices are required for team membership. March 2 is the date set for the first round of the tournmament A color tournament and a class tourna ment will be held. Former Nebraska Professor Subject Of Article As Famous Criminologist Dr. Albert Schneider, professor of pharmacognosy at the University of Nebraska from 1919 to 1921, is the subject of an article in a recent number of The Sunset, under the title, "A Famous Criminologist."

"Criminals have been discovered from PRESENT GROUP OF SHORT PLAYS Introduce "The Son of Setewa" by Herbert A. Yenne, Dramatic Instructor. UNIVERSITY PLAYERS ARE WELL RECEIVED Hearty applause from "first night ers" greeted the University Players in their production of an evening's program of five one-act plays Thurs day at the Temple theater. The per formances will be repeated Friday and Saturday evenings, and Saturday matinee. Three plays which had never be fore been staged were produced: "The Son of Setewa" by Herbert A.' Yenne, instructor in elocution and 'dramatic art, and director of the Uni versity Players; "The Silken Bully" by Michael J. Thillips, from the story of the same name by the author which appeared in the Saturday Eve ning Post two years ago; and "It's Time Something Happened" by Ar thur Doyle of Colorado Springs. "Judge Lynch" by John William Rogers, Jr., and "The Valiant" by Holworthy Hall were also presented. Several new members of the Univer sity Players company made their in itial appearance. Elaborate costumes and scenic ef fects aided much in the effective presentation of "The Son of Set ewa," a playlet dealing with the nam ing of Corn Rock. Starving Hopi In dians were forced to trade their chil dren to the Spaniards for corn at the foot of this rock. The scene of the play is at the Witch Water Well. The cast: First Hopi Woman Lillian Schim meck. Second Hopi Woman Ruth Jami son. Wupa Pauline Gellatly. Tai-ho Martha Dudley. Setewa Hart Jenks. Basa Darrel Starnes. Wanima Mariana Cummins. "Judge Lynch" by John William Rogers, Jr., merited its title as win ner of the National Little Theater Tournament of 1924 and the Beasco Cup of 1924. It deals with the prob lem of lynching, showing the utter injustice of mob law. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Joplin Ruth Schrank. Ella, her daughter-in-law Mary Johnson. Ed Joplin, Ella's husband Henry Ley. A Stranger Harold Sumption. "The Silken Bully," which in no way belies its name, was excellently done. The cast: Margaret Callendar Celeste Leech. Nurse Helene Phillips. Douglas Callendar Harold Fel ton. Barney Rogers Harold Sumption. "It's Time Something Happened," by Arthur Doyle, hardly to be styled a playlet .and yet more than a de lightful little interlude! was the one evnet of the evening that can be said not to' have had a moral behind it. The cast follows: Prologue Pauline Barber. She Angel Mrs. Green. He Angel Harold Felton. Playwright Bernard Maxey. Post Edward Taylor. Author Barney O'Lansky. Actress Edna Lenning. Husband Angel Sutton Morris. Three of the older members of the University Players made appearance in the final play of the evening "The Valiant" by Holworthy Hall: Hart Jenks, Neil C. L'own, and Cyril Coombs. The entire -ast follows: James Dyke Neil C. Brown. The Girl Frances McChesney. The Warden Cyril Coombs. Father Daly Hart Jenks. A Jalior Harold Felton. Stage settings were designed and painted by F. Dwight Kirsh, instruct or in drawing and painting, and his class in scene painting. no other evidence than a Rtray hair dropped by the culprit." Dr. Schneider recently won inter national fame in his experiments with Kanpi, a drug obtained in the upper region of the Amazon; and Canna bis Indira, obtained in India.
