Half Ton
Over a half ton of gun powder is
exploded every year by the Univer
sity R. O. T. C. unit here in the fir
ing of over one-fourth of a million
rounds of cartridges. This isn't very
much however, when one considers
that the whole amount could be used
in a fraction of a second in a modern
depth bomb or a "Big Bertha."
All of the powder used here at Ne
braska for practice purposes in a
year is only one-ninth-thousandth of
the amount used by French "seventy

rounds of small ammunition are shot
every year in the gallery in Nebras

the dance at the Rosewilde this eve

Sigma Tau will be awarded the soph
omore in the College of Engineering
who has made the highest scholastic
record in his freshman year. He
must have completed at least thirty
two hours of college work. The
award is made entirely upon schol
arship, with no consideration of the
qualifications which govern the se
lection of Sigma Tau members.
To the civil engineering student
who has raised his scholastic stand
ing most in the past year, Professor
Mickey will award the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers' medal.
The late Benjamin Garner Lammc
has been chosen as the subject of
the picture which Homer B.. Kin
singer, in the name of Sigma Tau,
will present to the "Hall of Fame"
in the first-floor hall of the Mechan

to a custom established ten years
ago. A prominent engineer is al
ways chosen for the annual addi
tion to the gallery. Mr. Lamme was
chief engineer for the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany for thirty-five years. He re
ceived the Edison medal awarded by
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers for his contributions to
electrical knowledge. As one of two
representatives of the Naval Con
sulting Board, Mr. Lamme rendered
noteworthy services to his govern
ment. A number of University of
Nebraska engineering graduates
have come in contact with Mr. Lam

instigation that this portrait was
chosen for the "Hall of Fame."

A crowd estimated at 5000 people
swarmed through the College of En

hibits of the annual Engineers' night.
In the Mechanic Arts building the
equipment, drawings and models of
the departments of civil engineering,
architecture arid mechanic arts were
shown. Prizes for models were won
as follows: first prize, model of Bear
Mountain suspension bridge, built by
I. A. Trively, '28; second prize, pile
driver constructed by Don Roberts,
'25, and Dale Skinner, '25.
Model truss bridges were tested
to destruction in the civil engineer

of A. W. Johnson, '26. In the guess
inc contest conducted as to the
weigh;, supported by the bridges, W

guess of 8,500 pounds supported by
the Warren Truss, winning prizes of
$1.50. Mary Louise Freeman made
the successful euess of 10,500
pounds on the Pratt truss.
Cement blocks were also broken,
by the Riehle apparatus, crumbling
at an average pressure of 1500
pounds.
Souvenir coins were distributed
among visitors. Experiments were
conducted in the various laboratories
of the Chemistry building, including
the dangerous thermite experiments
and other tests regarding the safety
of explosives.
The entire Museum was thrown

TRICE 5 CENTS
KOSMET KLUB
IS SUSPENDED
Use of Ineligible Students in
Production of "Tut Tut" Is
Reason for Action of ' Com
mittee on Organizations.
WAS ORGANIZED IN 1910
Suspension Will Not Take Ef
fect Until After Interfratern
ity Sing on Ivy Day Which Is
Sponsored by Kosmet.
Announcement was made yester
day of the suspension of Kosmet
Klub by the committee on student or
ganizations. The action was taken
as a result of the use by the Klub of
four ineligible students in its recent
musical production, "Tut Tut."
Executive Dean Carl C. Engberg
said yesterday that it had been er
roneously stated that the suspension
of the Klub was due to objections to
certain scenes in the latest produc
tion of the organization. The action
was taken solely because of the use
of ineligible students, according to
Dean Engberg, who added t at ho
felt that the show was of higher tvpe
than the average professional per
formance although there were parts
which were objectionable when .1 wo
considered that more should be ex
pected of University performances
than of professional.
The action will take effect follow
ing the interfraternity sing on - Ivy '
Day, which is sponsored yearly by
Kosmet, as the committee will allow
the Klub to finish out this year's ac
tivities. New members and officers
of the Klub will not be elected this
spring and it will officially cease ex
istence after Ivy Day. The ruling of
the organization committee does not
prohibit a petitioning for reinstate
ment of the Klub at a future time,
however.
By rules of the University, stu
dents engaged in activities are re
quired to maintain a certain stand
ard of. scholarship. They must have
successfully completed twelve hours
uring the preceding semester to
their participation in activities and
must be successfully carrying twelve
ours at the time that they are en
gaged in the activity. Four students
who appeared in "Tut Tut" were not
o qualified.
An attempt was made by the Klub
members to secure special permission
to use the ineligible students before
the production was staged as they
felt that it was necessary for the
ueccss of the show that the students
ppear since preparations had reach-
d an advanced stage. The permis-
ion could not be granted under the
ules of the University Senate and of
the Board of Regents but under the
iicumlaiices the Klub felt that it
would have to go ahead with its plans
nd bear the consequences.
Arthur Latta, president of the
Klub, said last evening, "The Klub
failed in its attempt to observe the
ligibility ruling and will accept the
decision of the committee on student
organizations without protest. I re
gret that certain newspapers have
ast reflections on the type of play
presented this year by Kosmet by
tating that the suspension is due to
other causes than that of eligibility.
"In the fifteen years of its exist
ence, Kosmet nas always maae a
conscientious effort to produce plays
in accordance with the rules of the
University."
The Kosmet Klub was organized in
1910 and has enjoyed fifteen years
of existence on the Nebraska campus.
In the winter of 1910-11 a committee
of students who presented the Junior
play banded together and became
charter members of the Klub. The
first play was produced in 1912 un
der the direction of Professor R. D.
Scott who is an honorary member of
the Klub. Eleven plays were the out
come of the Klub's work since its
founding.
Plays which have been presented
are: "the MatcnmaKers Dy rroi.
R. D. Scott with music by Dorothy
Watkins Reid, 1913; "El Presidente,"
by Earnest Graves with music by Ag
nes Bartlett, 1914; "The Ejisy Mark,"
by RaElph Northrup with music by
Clifford B. Scott, 1915; "The Knight
of the Nymphs," by Maurice Clark
with music by LeRoy Meisinger, Jean
Burroughs and Paul Raver, 1916;
The Diplomat," by Prof. Scott, re
vised with music by Le Roy Meising
er, 1917; "The Most Prime Minister,"
by Klub members, 1921; "The Yel
low Lantern," by Cyril L. Coombc,
1923; "The Wishing Ring." by Cyril
L. Coombs, li!4; and "Tut Tut," bf
Cyril L. Coombs, 1925.
Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi, and
Delta Phi were all founded at Union
College. Kappa Alpha claims to be
the oldest of all national fraterni
ties, being founded in 1825. Sigma
Phi and Dielta Phi were founded two
years later. These three fraterni
ties will erect a memorial gate at
. the north entrance to the campus to
. commemorate the founding of the
'fraternity system.
