PAY UP CAMPAIGN TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK Only two fraternities and one sor ority have not turned In a report to the alumni office on the drive for payments on stadium pledges which all the Greek letter organizations are carrying on. These three: must be checked in by Friday or they will be paced on the list of comparative standings for the last drive as abso ute failures. During the last v. ck the personal solicitation campaign in sororities and fraternities netted a .Tood amount of cash as well as a number of promises to the Stadium Associa tion. The city is being divided into dis tricts for a similar campaign among non-fraternity and non-sorority stu dents and by the end of next week complete results of the last drive will be published. If the students hold ing delinquent pledges in this last group pay up as well as did the others in the personal solicitation campaign the drive will be judged a success. Two or more persons from each dis trict, who are holders of stadium pledges, will be chosen to do the so liciting, and every delinquent will be visited before the end of next week. The plan will be the same as was used among fraternities and sororities and it is hoped that results will be as gratifying. Any student who is a holder of a delinquent pledge, and who has not been visited in any of the drives, will be doing the association a great favor if he will stop at the office ancHnake arrangements to get his payments up to date. Sunday, a list of fraternities and sororities and their standings in the last drive will be published in The Daily Nebraskan. The list will be fig ured on a 'percentage basis. More than 2,500 students regular ly enroll in the education courses at the University of Wisconsin Summer Session.

The play, an out-of-door production, will bo given Sat urday afternoon and evening. No admission will be charged. Herbert Yenne and Dolores Bosse will play the leads. "The Dovil's Disciple" is a melo drama by the famous Englishman, Bernard Shaw. It deals with a man, Richard Dudgeon, who had been brought up in a Puritan community. He rebels at the restrictions of the Puritan life and leaves his home. After the death of his father he is forced to return home for the read ing of the will. After his return he is mistaken for a minister and is taken away to be hung. He bravely accepts the mas querade. Because the English gen eral, whose watch is two minutes slow, will not go by American wat ches, Richard Pudgeon gains the chance to live. During the two min utes, the minister returns to save him and restore his own good name. The play was written a quarter of a century ago. It was first introduc ed to American audiences by Richard Mansfield. Mr. Shaw tries to prove in his play that all good men are cowards and that only blackguards can be counted on to do the right thing. The University Players gave "The Devil's Disciple" as one of their regu lar performances last winter. The cast is: Mrrs. Dudgeon Marion Sargent. Essie Pauline Gellatly. Christy Ray Ramsey.

PRE-MEDS TAKE TRIP TO OMAHA Nearly One Hundred and Fifty Students to Visit College of Medicine Today. WILL INSPECT CLINIC AND ALL LABORATORIES The pre-medic students went on their annual pilgrimage to the College of Medince at Omaha in a special car this morning. About 130 men and ten women, the largest delegation even sent are making the trip. The program for the day includes a clinic at the hospital from 10 to 12 o'clock, lunch at the hospital a visit to the anatomy, bacteriology, and physiology laboratories, and a ball game in the afternoon between the freshman and sophomore medics. A smoker will be hed at a down-town hotel for the men in the evening and the women of the party will be en tertained at a theatre party The purpose of the trip, according to Dr. F. D. Barker, is to give the pre-meds an idea of what the medi cal profession really is and to help them to find themselves in the work. They usually come away from the clinics with a more serious regard for their work and a better realiza tion of what the profession holds for them. The clinics prove to bo a most har rowfng experience for the pre-med as a rule. Only major operations are performed and even the most hard hearted visitor is affected.
