' Three delegates from the University of Nebraska present ed different phases of the conference at the Vesper services on Tuesday. Eloise Keefer was in charge of the meeting. Mabel Ludlam gave a vio lin solo. The Reverend G. A. Studdert Ken nedy from London was the most in spiring and popular speaker accord ing to Helen Clark who spoke on the personnel of the convention. Es pecially helpful to the delegates was his talk on prayer. Other men of national renown were Bruce Curry, chairman of the National Student Convention Committee; Kirby Page, an authority on national industrial problems; and Howard Thurman, V TV, V.'noVin t ah . . People Foreign Countries Represented Delegates from thirty foreign countries and all colleges and univer sities, from Maine to California, were present. "Too often we think of the Chris tian woman in service as a serious- minded individual with huge oxfords, fraved hat brim and a slouch ac- eomrianied bv a shiny nose," said Esther Svoboda in telling of the sub jects brought up in the discussion groups. "The discussion groups were the core of the convention, and helped the delegates to an intimate understanding of the problems of the modern campus." Seeking Troth "All were seekers for the truth, and everyone spoke with frankness," was the impression of Esther Garner. "None of the meetings were com pulsory, yet everybody went. New lines of thought were opened up. The whole wek's program was care fully planned and carried out with efficiency which helped the spirit of the convention." That the Convention was a mile stone in their lives, or a mountain top experience, as one speaker ex pressed it, was the opinion of all the delegates.

To Be Played oy Joyce Adair And Harold Sumption JAN. 13 IS OPENING DATE "The Music Master", a three-act comedy drama, will be the January number of the scries of plays pre scnted by the Temple Stock Com pany for their i regular course tof dramatic productions during the scholastic year. "The Music Master" will make its initial appearance on lhursday evening January 13, con tinuing through Saturday, with the usual student matinees offered Friday and Saturday. on The title role of Antone Von Bar- wig, the music teacher, will be played by Harold Sumption, and the part of Helen, his daughter, will be taken by Joyce Adair. Both of these Temple players are noted for their unusual ability in carrying heavy leads in the productions offered in the past four months by the Univer sity players. Critics Regard Play Highly Numerous dramatic critics have pronounced "The Music Master" one of the greatest comedy dramas that was ever produced. David Belasco the producer of the "Auctioneer," and David Warfield, one of the greatest actors of the time are the producers of this play, in which War field starred. These same men made the "Auctioneer," which was presented by the University players for their November production. "The Music Master" ran for two years on Broadway and it ranks among the first ten that brought the highest box office receipts on New York's theatrical row. Around Antone Von Barwig, an aged music teacher the play is cen tered. Barwig has forsaken his i brilliant and beloved career to leave Europe and come to America come to America in search of his lost daughter. After many years of fruitless and discour aging search, he discovers that one of his piano pupils is his own daugh ter, now grown to womanhood. A bit of love and romance is portrayed throughout, in which the daughter of the music teacher is the chief char acter. Miss H. Alice Howell director of the University players and head of the dramatic department has started rehearsals for the play.

Delinquency Among Students Shows Three to Four Per Cent Decrease A decrease iii delinquency of from three to four per cent has been ap parent among students of the Uni versity this year over last year, W. Claire Harper, assistant to the dean of men, declared today after com pleting the reports for the third quarter. At the first quarter and at the mid semester, about twenty-one per cent of the students registered were de linquent in one or more of the sub jects for which they were enrolled, Mr. Harper said, while at the third quarter the percentage of delin quency had dropped to nineteen. "At each of the first three quarters of this semester, there has been from three to four per cent fewer cases of delinquency than at the same time last year," he stated. Mr. Harper's report also shows that fewer students have been sus pended from the University this year than were dropped a year ago. At mid-semester this year, 240 students were called before the scholarship committee as compared with 275 a year ago. Only 64 of these 240 were suspended, while 97 were dropped from the rolls of the University the first semester of last year. Fraternity Delinquency Decreased New Course is Offered Law College Freshmen Legal Bibliography, a course dealing with the history and writ ing of law books and the finding of law references, will be offered to freshmen in the College of Law during the second semester. Although the course offers no real credit, students admit that the course is valuable in finding law reference books in future law courses. The course will be offered next semester on Friday and Sat urday at eight o'clock in Law 300. Mr. G. E. Price is the instructor. GROUP PICTURES TO BE SCHEDULED Appointments by Organizations for Yearbook Photographs Must be Made by January 7 January 7 has been set as the final day for group pictures to be taken for the 1927 Cornhusker. All clubs, societies, honorary fraternities and professional fraternities are being called by members of the staff and inf ormed of this date. They are be ing urged to make appointments im mediately for their sittings in order that the time will be sufficient to allow all of the groups to have their pictures made. It is possible that unless the ma jority of the appointments are made within the next week or two, some of the groups will have to take in convenient hours because of the . . i i 1 1 rush lor appointments Dy inose so cieties which find it necessary to wait until the last minute before having their pictures taken. . Appointments must be made by a delegate of the organization with Mr. Larrivee of the campus studio directly. In this way it is hoped that the mistakes which have been made in the past when several people set the appointment for one organization will be eliminated.

Delinquency of fraternities also has decreased with each quarter this year. The percentage of fraternity men delinquent this year is about one and one-half per cent less than a year ago, Mr. Harper declared. Two reasons for this improved condition are advanced. The first, and perhaps the one that has in fluenced the students the most, is the more stringent scholarship rules now in force. As the result of these rules, Mr. Harper believes students have studied a bit harder than in previous years. The second reason is the change m the entrance requirements lor freshmen. A student's eligibility to enroll in the University now is based on the work of his last three years in high school, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, whereas previously the four-year high school course was used as the basis for entrance. One noticeable feature of the scholarship is the improvement among fraternity men, Mr. Harper observed. Last year, he pointed out, was the first in which fraternity men showed a lesser percentage of de linquency for both semesters than non-fraternity men. TICKETS MOST BE EXCHANGED SOON Selleck Urges Students to Get Cage Tickets Before Friday; New Score-board in Place According to John Selleck, man ager for student activities, only 2,000 of the student football season tickets have been exchanged for the basketball season tickets and there are still 1,000 reserved seats left in the student section. The student activities manager urges that all exchanges be made be fore Friday. Exchanges will be made after that time, but it may be dif ficult to get a ticket exchanged just before a game. Every seat is re served and a football ticket will not admit anyone. There is now a new score-board which gives the number of minutes to play and the names of the players.
