A ship, forty-five feet long, with
drafts of eight feet, has been designed
and constructed by mechanical engi
neering students, after the model de
u'gned by a German inventor. It
represents a sailing ship in which re
rolving cylinders take the place of
Mils. The air currents blowing
against the large cylinders, or rotors,
causes a vacuum on one side and a
pressure on the other that propels the
hip. In the future this method of
invitation may come into general use
on the ocean. Ed Wanek, '26. is
chairman of the committee; other
members are E. 0. Morton, '26, and
George Horacek, '26.
"The Oil Game" and "The Geologi
cal Family Tree" are the names ap
plied to the two floats to be staged
by the department of geology. "The
Oil Game" shows caricatures of the
promoter, the driller, the lessor, the
lessee, the investor, and the geolo
gist. "The Geological Family Tree"
is a jumble of drawings in which fish,
frogs, monkeys, and human beings all
have their share in ridiculing the the
ory of evolution. A sign above the
pictures proclaims "Tennessee or
Bust!" which refers to the recent law
passed in the state of Tennessee
against the teaching of the principles
of evolution. Frank Pospisil is chair
man of the geology float Those who
did most toward the drawings are
Richard Young and L. I. Tucker.
"Highwaymen" will be the Bign
above the civil engineers' float, in
which two convicts, watched over by
a guard, will be at work on a finished
atone road represented on the truck.
The vehicle will be draped in stream
ers and bunting. Walter Jensen, '26,
and G. F. Sudman, '26, will take the
part of the criminals sentenced to
hard labor, while Murray Miller, '26,
is to impersonate the guard. Leslie
Peters, '26, is float chairman for the
"C. E.'s." Others on the committee
are Walter Johnson, '26, D. D. Lewis,
'26, and Leonard Little, '26.
The electrical engineers' float is
to present a "maiden of the tropics"
among her native palm trees, whose
guitar music will pass into a micro
phone. Charles Bryan, an electrical
engineer, is in charge of the entire
parade. Those instrumental in the
staging of the electricais' float are
Charles Harris, '26, and Frank Meis.
A reproduction of the "Cathedral
of Learning" to be built at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh has been chosen
as the architectual engineers' float.
This building of gothic style is fifty
two stories in height, and represents
the most modern ideas in collegiate
architecture.
All classes of this institution of
10,000 students will be housed in
this building, the cost of which is
at least $10,000,000. Leslie Shields,
Earl Ege, and A. Leicester Hyde are
in charge of the model.
Chemical engineering students'
contribution to the parade will be
a truck driven, they claim, by a new
motor fuel made by atomic disinte
gration. Gases from a flame which
can be seen occasionally are collect
ed and passed through a chemical
scrubbing machine, then given a vio
let ray treatment, condensed, pass
ed through copper coils, and collect
ed in a gas bottle called a carboy.
The agricultural engineers will
not takepart in the parade.
Among the engineers' displays
which fill a number of windows on

Says Chinese Women
Have More Freedom
As national physical diroctor of
the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation in China, Miss Vera Bnrger,
who recently arrived in the United
States on her first furlough, and who
is visiting the University of Nebras
ka as a guest of the Y. W. C. A.,
changes affecting the physical free
dom of Chinese girls.
"In ten days travel recently in
China, a man told me that outside of
mission schools, he did not see a
single girl or woman with unbound
feet," states Miss Barger. "This cus
tom is dying out in port cities, but
inland the custom of binding and dis
torting the feet of little girls is
still deeply rooted." She cited an
incident that brings out the fact that
the binding of girl's feet is rapidly
dying out in port cities.
"In 1921 we gave an exhibition in
our mission school in which a thou
sand girls took part The;- gave the
drills and played games with all the
bouyancy and freedom that a nor
mal use of one's feet unbound and
unhampered gives. The grace and
beauty of movement greatly impress
ed the audience and I belive it must
have had a future affect on their
point of view toward footbinding of

Canvassing City '
To Collect Old
Stadium Pledges
The campaign to get in overdue
Stadium pledges is still progressing.
The city has been divided into dis
tricts and a committee of about 150
is canvassing every student in the
Universi y who has a delinquent ob
ligation by personal solicitation. The
Stadiuu headquarteis is attempting
to get every delinquent pledge paid
up before students leave tho Univer
sity this spring. Many students who
are not able to pay at the present
time are signing time drafts which
will mature some time during the
summer while they are earning money.

is mnde up of a skirt and a loose
upper grament. All of their clothes
display the artistic temperament of
the Chinese girl in the color combi

do not realize that styles change in
China from year to year, just as they
do in the United States. Very few
of the Chinese girls wear American
costumes, even those who have at
tended school in America, do not
wear the American costume after
they return to their native land."
"Many of the girls have had a
struggle with the family," added Miss
Barger, "over tho idea of attending
the Y. W. C. A. school. Some fami
lies still think it is more lady-like to
take small steps and be frail and
flower-like, but the educated fami
lies have quite changed their view

Miss Barger, "I was considered quite

MISS VERA BARGER '
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
Tells of Advancement in Physi
cal Education Among
Chinese Women.
"The big contribution of the West
to the Orient has been through phy
sical education," declared Miss Vera
Barger, traveling secretary of the Y.
W. C. A. and a missionary to China,
Tue-day evening at the Vesper ser
vicef, which was conducted by Caro
lyn Buck. "The Young Women's
Christian Association is carrying out
the same big purpose in lands far
away as here in the United States.
The Association stands for abund
ance of life. We cannot have an
abundance of life if we do not have
the right physical life. We must
learn that our bodies are sacred, that
they are the temples of our spirits."
Miss Barger pictured the life in
China, as the representative of the
University Y. M. C. A.
"Physical education is a real part
of the whole missionary movement,"
she asserted, as she doscribed the
need for education in health among
the Chinese wwomen and girls and
told how she explained to them the
American conception of physical
education.
There has been little in the reli
gion taught in China about the- sac
redness of the human body, she
stated.
"Grace Coppock was one of the
biggest women I ever knew," Miss
Barger declared. "Nebraska can be
iroud to have given such a woman to
China." Few, to begin with, could
do what the missionary thought
ihould be done, she said; and among
the biggest needs was the establish
ment of a physical education school.
"Many of the girls who came to
this school have never heard ' of
Christianity before, have never heard
of God," she continued, as she des
cribed the physical education school
at Shanhai, which she called "the
beacon light of China." She told of
the joy among the Chinese girls
when they celebrated Christmas and
heard the story of Easter for the
first time. Miss Earger said that
the spirit has been changed complete
1v; that the ffirls have already begun
teaching in other schools and have
gone out real Christians.
Under a ruling recently made by
faculty members, no student of No
tre Dame University is permitted to
operate an automobilu.

Will Appear In
Moliere's Play
Darrell Starnes
Darrcll Starnes will play the part
of "The Imaginary Invalid" in the
Friday afternoon and evening nhows
in the University Players presenta
tion of the famous Moliere Comedy,
"The Imaginary Invalid." Mr. Starnes
is a well known University Player.
WILL PRESENT
MOLIERE PLAY
University Players to Appear
May 8 and 9 for Last Time
This Season.
The University Players will close
their season May 8 and 9 when they
will present "The Imaginary In
valid," a satirical comedy by Moliere.
The play will be given Friday after
noon and evening by one cast of
players and Saturday afternoon and
evening by another. Darell Starnes
will play the lead for the Friday
shows and Ray Ramsey for the Sat
urday.
Much of the traditional Moliere
business will be used by the players.
The play is under the direction of
H. Alice Howell. Costumes for the
play are being designed and made by
students of the dramatic department
under the direction of Rose Bogdan-
off, the stage-craft instructor from
Chicago and Carmel-By-The-Sea,
California.
"The Imaginary Invalid" is prob
ably one of the most humorous of
Moliere's comedies and is still being
played in France under the direction
of the French government.
The play is a clever comedy satir
izing the quackery of the medical
profession of Moliere's time. Moliere
mocks the humbuggery of the medi
cal practice of the day. He wrote
and presented this play at a time
when he himself was very ill. He
played the part of Argan, the "Im
aginary incalid."
The story is built around the life
of a hypochondriac, Argan, who
wants his daughter to marry a young
doctor so that he might enjoy his
ill-health to the utmost His wife
wants him to die so that she might
get his money. Upon these two facts
the play abounds in scenes of hilari
ous absurd;ty.
The cast for the Saturday mati
nee and evening show is as follows:
Destroy Dormitory
To Beautify Campus
To beautify the campus and to
make room for future permanent
University buildings, are the reasons
given for the destruction of the ole
dormitory on 11th street near Teach
er's College.
-The old building had lost its beau
ty, and was getting too old for cam
pus use. The University has no in
tentions of building a dormitory in
the spot where the old one stood. Any
future dormitories will be on R street,
to the south and east of the campus.

Date Finally Set for Annual
Event at Scottish Rite Tem
ple, Chairman J. Raymond
Tottenhoff Announces.

President Carl Gray of Union
Pacific Railroad May Be
Speaker Regent Judson
AIso to Make Address.
The date for the annual interfra
ternity banquet hns been definitely
set for Wednesday, May 13, it was
announced by Raymond Tottenhoff,
chairman of the committee, last eve
ning. The banquet was planned for
this evening but due to the fact that
the Scottish Rite Temple had been re
served by the DcMolay, a new date
had to be secured.
Plans are complete for the yearly
event. Prof. R. D. Scott will act as
toastmaster at the dinner. Regent
Frank W. Judson of Omaha will be
one of the speakers and efforts are
being made to secure Carl Gray,
president of the Union Pacific Rail
road, as another. Chancellor Avery
will also be on the list of speakers.
The banquet will begin at 6 o'clock
and last until 8. The Kandy Kids, an
eight-piece orchestra, will be on the
program as an added feature. Pres

fraternities having the highest rat
nigs for the first semester of this
year and the second semester of last
year will also be made.
At the time of the presentation of
the placques, fraternity scholarship
standings for the two semesters will
probably be announced. The custom
of presenting placques was started
last year as a plan inaugurated by
the student and alumni members of
the Interfraternity Council to raise
the scholarship level of fraternities
in the University. The banquet held
last ypnr was so successful that it
was decided that the affair would be
annual. About 800 men were present
last year.
Fraternities have unanimously af
firmed the proposal that tables be
closed on the evening of the banquet.
Tickets have already been issued to
the different organizations. These
bear the date of today but will be
taken as admission to the banquet
when it is held next week.
