ANNOUNCE CAST
FOR "TUT TOT"
Sixty People Given Places in
Annual Kosmet Klub
Production.
MEETING IS CALLED
FOR MONDAY EVENING
Announcement of the cast for the
192B Kosmet Klub production, "Tut
Tut" was made yesterday by the
committee of members of Kosmet
Klub in charge of tho tryouts held
two weeks ago. The cast includes
nearly sixty people, some of which
will be eliminated in further trials
bo that the total number will be
about fifty.
A meeting of all members of the
east and business assistants will be
held Monday evening at seven o'clock
in the chapel in the rear of the Ar
mory. It is very important that
everyone be present. Practices will
be started immediately under the di
rection of the three directors, C. L.
Coombs, Herbert Yenne and Prof. A.
G. Hinman.
The production this year will see
gome familiar faces of persons who
have appeared in former Kosmet
plays. The list includes twenty prin
cipal parts and choruses numbering
thirty-five. Three choruses will be
used; the pony chorus, a male chorus
and a chorus of eight women. The
last two will appear together in the
play.
"Tut-Tut" is a two-act musical
comedy written by Cyril L. Coombs.
The story is of an archaeologist nam
ed Professor Whereishe who cannot
be cured of his "digging" tendencies
by his wife and daughter. They fin
ally plan a trip for the professor and
the results are surprising.
Six scenes portraying action in
five places are included. The first
scene takes place in America, the
next on board the ship, "Acrobatic,"
from there to Port Said, Cairo and
Tutankhamen's tomb. Some novel
effects will be produced by special
scenery and the music and costumes
will be unusual.
The comedy will be produced at
the Orpheum April 24 and will be
taken to Omaha for presentation at
the Brandeis the following night.
The 1923 and 1924 plays were both
taken to Omaha, showing to large
and appreciative audiences on each
occasion.

PHI DELTS END
CELEBRATION
Phi Delta Theta Observes
Golden Anniversary of
Founding of Chapter.
HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET
ON SATURDAY EVENING
The two-day celebration by Phi
Delta Theta of the golden anniver
sary of the founding of the Nebraska
chapter closed Saturday evening with
the annual banquet at which were the
members of the active chapter and
about 175 alumni. The events on
the day's program were a memorial
service for deceased members in the
morning, a luncheon at the house at
noon, and the unveiling of a memor
ial tablet and a reception in the af
ternoon. Governor Adam McMullen, Mayor
Frank C. Zehrung and Chancellor
Samuel Avery spoke at the noon
luncheon. 1
"The fraternity teaches loyalty,
understanding and friendship," Gov
ernor McMullen declared. "These
are the qualities that are needed in
life and particularly in government.
What a man gains from the textbooks
is important, of course; but the
friendships and the qualities of
brotherhood which he acquires will
remain longer.
"I wish to compliment the Nebras
ka chapter of Phi Delta Theta on its
fifty years of existence at Nebraska.
No institution which has endured so
long could have failed- to have far
reaching effects, and I believe those
effects were good.
"Oftentimes we hear of men who
have associated together closely as
in the colleges of Oxford who have
become famous. There is something
more in this than the caliber of the
men, for surely all the men in such a
group are not of unusual ability. As
sociation had something to do with
it, and such association is present in
the fraternity today."
Mayor Zehrung, in a brief address,
spoke of the advantages of a college
fraternity in forming friendships.
The fraternity, he believed, was
closely allied with the school, and
anything connected with such a "fac
tory of brains" was beneficial.
Chancellor Avery, after giving
some reminiscences of old days at
Nebraska, declared that the associa
tions such as are found in a fratern
ity make a man much better able to
take care of himself in the world.
Many students fail to take advantage
of this contact with others, he Chan
cellor said, not realizing that this
was important in University life.
Phil McCullough '17, of Omaha,
was toastmaster, both at the luncheon
and at the banquet.
Earl Cline of Lincoln, member of
the Board of Regents, spoke in the
afternoon at the unveiling of the
memorial tablet commemorating the
founding of Phi Delta Theta at Ne
braska. Mr. Cline also stressed the impor
tance of acquaintanceships and of the
advantages to be gained from fra
ternities. The criticism of fraterni
ties on the ground that they promot
ed snobbery was untrue, at least in
sofar as western schools are con
cerned. That they failed to promote
scholarship was one criticism in the
past that is now disappearing, he de
clared, for fraternities are making
strides in bringing high scholastic
work.
Robert P. Brewer of Tulsa, Okla.,
national president of Phi Delta
Theta, unveiled the memorial tablet,
bringing to the Nebraska chapter the
congratulations of the national fra
ternity. Many telegrams were re
ceived from other fraternities, other
chapters of Phi Delta Theta, and
alumni, sending semi-centennial
greetings.
Ernest . Bearg, head football
coach at the University; Dr. E. 0.
Weber of Wahoo, Frank C. Builta of
Omaha, and Herbert Cameron '26,
Kearney, president of the Nebraska
chapter, were called on for toasts at
the banquet.

DR. JAMES SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
Gives Address on the Federal
System of Brazil Fri
day Morning.
Dr. Herman G. James of the Uni
versity of Texas stated at the Uni
versity convocation Friday morning
in an address on "The Federal Sys
tem of Brazil," that Brazil regarded
the diversity of laws among the vari
ous units which form the United
States of America as an unfortunate
result of the federal constitution of
this country. Dr. James was intro
duced by Chancellor Avery as a
man distinguished in his own right
and by inheritance, being the son
of a famous president of the Illinois
and Northwestern universities.
Dr. James, in speaking of visiting
Brazil, said that it was interesting
to note the manner in which they
had used the Anglo-Saxon form of
srovernment He showed that while
the constitution of the United States
was taken as a model, it had been
adaDted to suit the needs of Brazil.
I The entire address was especially of
interest to students of law and poli
tical economy.
Brazil differs greatly from the
United States in the assignment of
ational and state power. In place
f the diversity of state power
found in the United States, Brazil
places its twenty states under na
tional criminal, commercial, and
civil codes. Only the procedure of
law is left to the states. The chief
source of revenue is derived from
the export tax, a levy being made on
all goods which pass from one state
to another. This is regarded in Bra
il as an unfortunate circumstance.
tne of the commendable features of
their e-overnment is the choice of the
president by the direct vote of the
population.
In describing these governmental
advances, Dr. James invariably used
the word "progress" instead of "evo
lution." He stated, "I don't know
how vou are here, but I have friends
who get a cold chill down the spine
at the mention of evolution.
Dr. James said that Brazil, now
totalling thirty million people, ranks
along with Italy and France in t-ur-odc
and that if the present rate of
development in population, wealth,
and material progress continues, stie
will soon be a factor to be consider
ed in world affairs.

Overcoming a Lincoln lead of five
points in the last half of the game,
Omaha Tech last night defeated Lin
coln high school 13 to 12, in the final
game of the fifteenth annual basket
ball tournament. The victory won
the third state championship for the
Omaha high school in five years.
The game started at 9:30 on the
Coliseum floor. Tech was the first
team on the floor, and was greeted
by a wild burst of applause from the
audience. The game commenced
with sparring around and passing for
a minute or two, with good team
work on both sides. Then Nelson of
Tech shot a clean one through the
basket that did not even touch the
hoop. Witte of Lincoln soon coun
tered with a field goal after break
ing through the Tech five-man de
fense. The first quarter was Tech's, end
ing with a score of 4 to 3. It was fea
tured by close guarding by Tech, and
the ball was in the hands of the Oma
ha team most of the period.
In the second quarter Lincoln open-
ed up. A bad pass by Tech gave the
ball to Lincoln. Witte. star Lincoln
forward of the game, got the ball and
made the field goal that put Lincoln
ahead. Two free throws by Witte
raised the Lincoln score to eight.
Tech was able to make only one
point from a free throw in this peri
od. Score at end of half Lincoln
8, Tech 5.
The Lincoln lead was raised to
10-5 in the first minute or so of the
second half, when Witte made an
other basket for Lincoln. Two free
throws from fouls garnered Holm
of Tech two points. After some floor
work, Nelson, of Tech, slipped the
ball into the basket from the side,
the score was brought nearer even,
Tech 9, Lincoln 10. Lincoln began
stalling in the last part of the third
quarter. A free throw by Kahler,
Lincoln guard, added another point
to Lincoln's score. Just before the
end of the quarter Holm, Tech for
ward, made the basket that tied the
score, 11 to 11.
The game at the beginning of the
fourth quarter became hot, and
tense. The referee had to toss up
the ball four times to get the game
started. Tech was beginning to wear
down the Red and Black team, and
had the advantage on floor work.
A foul on Witte netted the Lincoln
team another point Then Nelson of
Tech flipped a high arched ball
through the basket for the final
counter of the game. With only two
minutes remaining Tech stalled and
the game ended 13 to 12.
