PLAYERS GIVE
'AREN'T WE ALL'
Packed House Greet First
Showing of Comedy at
Temple Theater
TO BE REPEATED TONIGHT
"Aren't We All," presented by the
University Players Thursday even
ing, was greeted by a house literally
packed. The three-act comedy by
Frederick Lonsdale was particularly
amusing to the Temple theater first
nighters. The play will be repeated
Friday and Saturday evenings and at
a Saturday matinee.
Miss Howell's excellently assem
bled cast welded a harmonious whole
of the theme of the play.
Harold Sumption as Lord Gren
ham, a free and untrammeled English
widower, was the central character,
and sharpened the point of each sally,
upon the "strangeness" of life with a
humorous sympathy that continually
drew applause from the audience. -
As Margot Tatham, Lord Gren
ham's daughter-in-law, Frances Mc
Chesney entered vividly into the
characterization. Her anger at
finding her husband "making love"
to an ex-actress upon her sudden re
turn from a several month's vaca
tion was genuine. Her interpreta
tion of the part was a refreshing bit
of the play.
The erring husband Willie Tatham,
was portrayed by Harold Felton ac
curately, from his consternation upon
the sudden arrival home of his wife
to his delight at her final forgive
ness. His stage personality again
won the sympathy of his audience.
Ray Ramsay, as Rev. Ernest Lyn
ton, a thoroughly hypocritical "holier-than-thou,"
and Ruth Jamison as
his wife, were well presented. Ida
Mae Flader, as Lady Frinton, the
desperate, angler for Lord Grenham,
and Florence Surber, as Kitty' Lake,
the woman in the case, carried their
parts with unusual ability.
Herbert Yenne as Willocke, an
Australian, who threatened to break
into the happiness of the Tathams,
was emphatically different from all
other roles in which he has appear
ed with the Players.
The musical theme accompanying
the play added much to the atmos
phere. The settings, done by Dwight
Kirsch and his students, were rich,
and the color added to the bright
ness of the action.
The cast is as follows:
Margot Tatham
Frances McChesney
Lady Frinton ...Ida Mae Flader
Hon. Angela Lynton ....Ruth Jamison
Kittie Lake Florence Surber
Hon. Willie Tatham ....Harold Felton

"What the Woman's Club Needs Is
Discussion,"
"There are finishing schools and
finishing clubs, which certainly do
finish you; but the most finishing
thing in the world is the average
women's club. I am afraid of them:
their members all have 'clubites,' by
which I mean they want to meet and
be BDoken to. or read to, when wnai
they need is discussion."
Although Miss Gertrude fciy, na
tional chairman of the New Voters

tres, had only one short day to spend
in Lincoln, she was willing to crowu

Presentation March 26 in Armory I
Decided) Associated Women Stu
dents Organisation Gets the Idea
From Other Colleges
"Co-ed Follies" put on by various
oranizations of the campus, is being
planned by the Associated Women
Students for March 26.
This sort of entertainment has
been a part of the school life of many
universities, but till now has never
been attempted at Nebraska. At
Minnesota and Oregon, under the
name of "Co-ed Vaudeville," an an
nual show has proved highly success
ful. So with this in mind, A. W. S.
is instituting a similar affair at Ne
braska. The Armory has been secured for
the evening of March 26, and the en
tertainment will begin at 7:30
o'clock. Any group of girls or or
ganization may compete by entering
a skit, a musical comedy, or any en
tertainment which a group of girls
could present successfully. Any
number of girls over two may enter.
The Associated Women Students
hope to promote closer association
between different organizations and
groups, and if this initial attempt is
successful, they plan to work it out
to such a degree that the girls will
have acts and entertainments such as
are found in Road Shows. Univer-
stiy Night is composed mainly of
boys, and working on the theory that
girls have as much talent, there is
no doubt that the "Co-ed Follies"
will be just as amusing and success
ful.
A small sized stage, with curtains
and regulation stage equipment, is
to be erected in the Armory. Try
outs for the Follies will be announced
and any girls who would like to ap
pear in it can start composing a
short skit.
A. W. S. is sponsoring and inaug
urating this event, which is an essen
tial part of school life in other Uni
versities, but which so far has been
lacking here. It will appeal to all
Individuals, class organizations, study
clubs, literary societies, sororities
and even intersorority groups. It
should prove an excellent opportun
ity to display any hidden dramatic
ability, and all acts will be judged
If the Follies prove successful this
year, in the future the vaudeville
will probably be presented at the Or
pheum for outside audiences, al
though the school showing will be for
girls only.
Prizes for the winning skits will
be worth any effort the actors may
put forth, as it will be money. The
definite amounts have not yet been
decided.
Doris Pinkerton is in charge of
the general supervision of plans, and
will appoint sub-committees later.

RELAY TRYODTS
FOR TRACK MEN
Coach Schulte Holds the First
Elimination Before the
Illinois Contest
Track fans will have an oppor
tunity to witness almost a track
meet this afternoon under the Sta
dium when preliminary try-outs for
the Illinois relays will be held. Coach
Schulte predicts close competition in
some of the events and invites all
track enthusiasts if they wish to see
some exciting races.
Especially in the 440-yard dash
and half-mile run will there be
strong rivalry. In each of these ra
ces there will be entered about five
men, and as they are all about equal
the races should be close. Wyatt.
Davenport, and Dailey, in the 440,
have each made about the same time
while in the half-mile it is a toss-up
between Roberts, Johnson, Ross and
Lewis. The other everts of the af
ternoon will be the hurdles, pole
vault, shot-put and dashes.
A numeral meet will also be held
in connection with the Varsity try-
outs. Men who have not yet won
their numeral will have a chance at
this time to compete for it. Many
men won their numerals in the inter
fraternity meet, but from time to
time meets will be held for those men
who have not yet qualified. The ev
ents will start at 4 o'clock and will
be run on their regular schedule.
The list of men who have already
won their numerals are: Ballah,
Davenport, Reneau, Roberts, Huls
ker, Johnson, Krause, Leffler, Lee,

Deciding to Walk on Dates, Sorority
Girls Come to Men's Aid in Rate War
One Rent-a-Ford Dealer Weakens As
More Than One Hundred Women
Refuse To Ride to Parties
More than a hundred girls, mem
bers of four sororities, have come to
the aid of their boy friends and an
nounced that they will refuse to go
on dates with any men who rent
cars.
The action of the sororities came
today as the result of a fight started
yesterday by individual students of
the University to secure a reduction
in the price of renting cars. The
car-renting agencies in Lincoln last
week announced a substantial in
crease in the price of rentinr their
automobiles ,and daters at thv Jni
versity decided it was unfair.
The sororities which today an
nounced they would not date boys
who rent cars were: Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Phi
and Delta Zeta. The action was ta
ken by the girls voluntarily in an ef
fort to help the male students se
cure the reduction in car renting
charges which they ask.
Miss Priscilla Towle, Lincoln.
president of Kappa Kappa Gamma,
said her sisters would go the limit
in helping the boys secure the price
reduction. She was backed in her
statement by Margaret Nelson, Lin
coln, and Elice Holovitchiner, Oma
ha, her sorority sisters, who helped'
enlist the members of that organi
zation in the movement
Miss Charlotte Baker, Buffalo,
Wyo., president of Alpha Phi, and
Gwenn Lambert, Wray, Colo, a sister,
enlisted the girls of that sorority in
the project. When asked if they
should go into the movement, the
members of the sorority cried,
"Sure."
Miss Frances McChesney, Omaha,
president of the Delta Delta Delta,
and Miss Helen Schwager, Omaha,
enlisted the members of their soror
ity in the movement All of the
girls saying they would do anything
to help out.
Miss Blanche Stevens, Beaver City,
president of Delta Zeta, and Miss
Florence Surber, Sioux City, an
nounced the girls of that organiza
tion had today decided to join the
boys of the University in their ef
forts to seucre lower rates.
The movement was started early
this week when individual men stu
dents decided that they would not
pay the new prices, which call for an
hour charge from 6 p. m. to 6 a.
m., and a charge for gasoline and
oil in addition to a mileage charge
of fourteen cents a mile. Their ex
ample was followed by hundreds of
other boys, and by last night almost
every member of every fraternity on
the campus had decided they would
refuse to rent cars until the price
was lowered.
The new rates, they say, mean a
charge of approximately a dollar an
evening above the old.
Renting of cars at Nebraska has
increased .among men students for b
number of years. Five years ago one
company operated in Lincoln, while
today there are a dozen. This, the
students say, shows that they are
making a large profit, and do not
need the increase. They contend
they wil hold out on the plan until
they secure a Fubstantia) reduction,
probably to as low as ten or twelve
cents a mile with no hour charge.
One Rent-a-Ford company an
nounced today it was willing to go
to eight cents a mile if other com
panies would join suit. This, the
students contend, shows that the
present charge of fourteen cents,
plus gasoline, oil charge, and hour
charge, is too much.
For the first time in many months.
students at the University will walk
their dates to parties this week-end,
and, if the price is not lowered, for
many week-ends to come.
The movement was started by E.
F. DuTeau, Merrill, Wis.
Lowell Observatory Astronomers
Say Life on Mars Is a Possibility
Conditions upon Mars are such
as to make it reasonable to suppose
that life, as we know, exists on the
planet.
This statement was made by Dr.
E. B. Flipher and Dr. C. O. Lamp-
land of Lowell conservatory. Flag
staff, in papers presented recently
before the convention of the South
west section of the American Associ
ation for the advancement of science.
Many astronomers, notably those
of Mount Wilson observatory, Pasa
dena, CaL, do not think that Mars has
conditions to support life.
Flagstaff astronomers, however,
gave the following reasons to support
their beliefs
1. There is evidence that Mars has
an atmosphere which contains axy
gen and water vapors The admitted,
however, in this connection, that the
atmosphere on Mars is probably less
than that on the high mountains of

GERTRUDE ELY
VISITS LINCOLN
Representative of National
League of Women Voters
Lectures
IS HONORED AT TEA
"The test of an office-holder is
whether he is interested in benefit
ting the country and the people, or
just in holding office," declared
Miss Gertrude Ely, national repre
sentative of th National League of
Women Voters, speaking at a con
vocation for University women, in
the Temple Theater yesterday morn
ing at 11 o'clock. Miss Ely met many
of the University women personally,
at a tea from 4 to 6 o'clock in Ellen
Smith Hall.
Miss Ely has undertaken to "in
terest all young women in the United
States in citizenship,- voting and in
democracy," at the request of the na
tional league of whfeh. she is one of
the directors, and chairman of the
section on the "New Voters."
"We are fond of talking about our
rights in this country, 'she declared,
"but few of us know what they are."
It is to help young women who have
just become, or about to become,
voters, to understand what this new
power means and is worth. Miss
Ely is travelling through the colleges
and the universities of the Middle
West. Her first experience in a National
party convention she described. It
was the time to nominate the presi
dent of the Unite dStates, "who has
the whole United States in the palm
of his hand." Attending were hun
dreds of the best lawyers, doctors
and politicians of the country. "I
heard nothing intelligent spoken
there," she asserted. "For three
days they had nominating speeches
for men they knew would not be el
ected."
Miss Ely suggested several things
that the new voters might do, among
which was a "Get Out the Vote
Campaign."
Miss Laura B. Pfeiffer presided at
the serving table for the tea given
in honor of Miss Ely in the after
noon. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Deitrich,
members of the local league, were
also guests of the University branch
of the League of Women Voters. Re
ceiving were Ida Mae Flader, Ruth
Clendenin, Helen Aach, Mary Louise
Freeman, Gwendolyn Templin, and
Grace Elizabeth Evans.
there is much larger amount of it on
the planet than most astronomers
think.
2. Clouds of mist are observed in
the Martian atmosphere.
3. Polar caps on Mars, which are
white, behave just as they would if
formed of ice and snow.
4. Observations of the planet's
surface, both by visual and photo
graphic means, show a fine network
of the so-called canals.
5. While Mars in farther from the
sun that the earth is and therefore
receives less light and heat from it,
yet indications tend to prove that it
receives a sufficiency of both. Meas
urements indicate that Mars absorbs
more of the energy it gets from the
sun than does the earth, and deflects
much less of it than does the earth.

HUSKER CAGE
TEAM READY
FOR TIGERS
Meet Missouri Five for Second
Contest of the Week
In Field House
OPPONENTS ARE STRONG
Now Playing Fast Game After Poor
Start at Beginning of
Conference
The University cf Nebraska bas
ketball tosscrs will play their second
game of the week tonight in the Field
House at 7:30 o'clock. The Missouri
Tigers will be the Huskers oppon
ents. Saturday night the Nebraska
five will meet Washington on the
Field House floor.
The Tigers, after a poor start at
the beginning of the conference
schedule, have found themselves and
are now playing a fast game of bas
ketball. Although Nebraska ranks
considerably higher in Valley stand
ings than does Missouri, the game
will be hard fought and the Huskers
can expect no easy victory.
Coach Bearg has been working
his men hard since the Kansas Aggie
game in an endeavor to bring the
team out of the slump they have
been in for the past two weeks. The
Huskers have lost four games in a
row.
The five that started the Aggie
game Tuesday night: Smaha and
Beerkle, forwards, Page, center, and
Brown and Gerelick, guards, looked
like the best combination that has
been seen on the" Nebraska floor this
season. This quintet outplayed the
Aggies the majority of the opening
period. Page, with his towering
heighth, easily got the tip-off, and
played a nice game on both defense
and offense.
Beerkle, starting his first game at
forward this year, aided his team
mates in carrying the ball within
shooting distance of the basket
Smaha and Brown have been the
mainstays of the team all year, and
Gerelick has been in several en
counters. It is surmised that the Husker
mentor will start this five against
Missouri tonight, holding Captain
Eckstrom, Lawson and Elliott in re
serve. NAVY DEPARTMENT
