At The Theatres
In tho days when we had beer
irnruens they were thought of as low
brow, but not so in Austria. Kings,
queens, princes and army officers
were the main features of the pre
war Vienna social whirl. "The- Walts
Dream," at the Rialto the first half
paints a vivid picture of all the gla
mour and feeling that surrounds a
young officer who falls in love with
princess incognito. He loved a
beautiful maid, but when he married
her, ho found a cold princess. The
entire feature is produced on a lav
ish scale, being a UFA production
made in Berlin.
The much heralded "Scarlet Let
ter" has arrived and is showing at
the Lincoln this week. The picturi
zntion of Hawthorne's classic of early
colonial days is really a very true
depiction of the conditions that ex
isted. The tremendous sale of the
novel proves this. The story sur
rounds a mnid, whoso bird sang on
Sunduy and when the minister did
his duty and went to reprimand her,
he found a very charming littlo sin
ner, whom he grew to love tremen
dously, but not wisely. A great sin
was committed and sho was branded
with the Scarlett Letter. A very dra
matic climax provides the solution
of the mystery. Will Rogers' first
pictures of bis trip abroad are shown
in the form of a one reel travel.
Charlie Chaplin and Priscilla Dean
share honors at the Colonial for the
fore part of the week. The reissue of
"Shoulder Arms," Chaplin's classic
of the late war, is proving to be just
as funny now as it was when first
filmed. The feature is Priscilla Dean
in "Jewels of Desire," a mystery
story of a girl who inherits an es
tate from her uncle, but when she
arrives, a groat mystery is waiting
for her. Gloomy Mexican servants,
desperate criminals, reaching hands
and a mysterious map and hidden
treasure all make up the plot.
Last week at the Lyric the Pierre
Watkin Players proved that the world
is run by "Applesauce," yet they re
taliate that statement this week in
What's Your Wife Doing." This
farce is taken from the French, but
the many situations are just as funny
as they must have been to the orig
inal writers. The story concerns a
young man, with but a little money,
who loves a girl whose father thinks
money is everything. So the prospec
tive wooer decides to go in business,
and takes oil for the start. By the
time he accumulates his fortune he

has found out what too many wives

thinks he has. The entire play is
filled with many forceful situations
"Yours very truly, Little Jack Lit
tlo" is one of tho big things at the
Orphoum. This versatile radio artist
is as clever on the stago as he is be
fore the microphone. The feature pic
ture, "An Affair of the Follies," is a
lively comedy of a young clerk who
marries a follies star; he gets SCO
per and she $150. When things don't
go so smooth, she returns to the fol
lies and he leaves to carry out his
hopes and dreams. Things don't go
so well, for some of the former ad
mirers of his wife seem to be show
ering her with attention. But love is
one of the keenest whips known and
all ends well. Billie Dove is tho wife.
Lloyd Hughes, the husband and Lewis
Stone the old admirer.
The old favorite Jimmy Allad and
company are the headliners at the
Liberty the first part of the week.
The act "Southern Romance," is a
snappy minature musical comedy.
The Frank L'ufert company have a
novelty dancing act with some clever
songs. Lillian Faulkner hns some
very novel wooden soldiers and other
characters, more along the Punch and
Judy line. Jack Lipton is an imitator
and vocalist who does things with his
mouth that few musicians can do
with their instruments. Angle and
Felber, "16 and 60", have a distinc
tive turn in that some of the wierd
est clarinet music you will ever hear
is the big novelty of the act.

The annual dinner-dance given by
the Woman's Athletic Association is
scheduled for 6 o'clock Thursday eve
ning, March 3, at Ellen Smith hall.
Any woman who attended at least
one basket ball practice and all W.
A. A. members are invited. Those
who plan to come should sign the
poster on the W. A. A. bulletin board
at once. Dinner tickets cost fifty
cents.
It is at this annual affair, usually
held immediately after the close of
the basket ball tournament, that as
sociation honors are awarded. Hazel
Olds is the only one to receive an
'N" at this time. In order to receive
an "X", one must have earned at
least 1200 points by participation in
a variety of sports. There are only
twelve co-eds in school who have al
ready earned "N"s, since it takes
practically three years of consistent
effort to accumulate a sufficient num
ber of points. To all women having
earned 500 points, class numerals
will be awarded. v
Students of the University of Flor
ida who flood the campus with secret
publications will be expelled.

practice?
In 1922 Freshman Week was in-
augurated in one university; In 1023
in three; in 1924 in eight; in 1925
in fifteen; in the fall of 1926 it will
be inaugurated in twenty; in 1927
in one definitely and in one prob
ably; in future (as yet not decided)
in twelve. These numbers added give
total of sixty-one, or 72 per cent.
Do you consider it a success?
Of the twenty-seven that have had
experience with Freshman Week
twenty-six vouch for its success and
one qualifies its reply as follows:
"Need more experience to determine
whether or not a success. To all ap
pearances it seems desirable and
worth while going ahead with."
What ia your main argument for it?
Group A:
It starts the student right.
Gives freshmen knowledge of the
ropes.
So that the new students may be
come acquainted.
Has value in orienting the new stu
dent.
It helps to bridge the gap between
high school and college.
Gets sorority rush and physical ex
amination out of the way before
classes begin.
Saves some maladjustments and
makes men feel that they are part of
the college.
A chance to get settled before up
per classmen arrive, and emphasizes
the "University" in their minds.
It acquaints freshmen with uni
versity routine and gives them a
clearer notion of "what it's all
about."
It provides an opportunity of in
troducing freshmen to university life,
with the whole faculty available to
help.
It gives a better hold over the
freshman class. Helps them get star
ted and creates greater unity both in
social and academic life.
The help it gives in placing the
freshmen in their work free from in
fluence of upper classmen. They told
me how they appreciated the help.
Freshmen have an opportunity to
learn the traditions and program of
university. They learn what will be
expected of them. They learn to bud
get their time.
Gives opportunity for the freshmen
to learn the primary purpose of col
lege and the ideals of the institution
from the college officials rather than
from students.
It affords an opportunity to give
freshmen certain information that
they should have in addition gives
an opportunity to get certain group
requirements out of the way.
Provides introduction to college
life. Students vote overwhelmingly in
favor of it Starts freshmen with cor
rect ideas of our work. Permits clas
sification of students at start, etc.
Gets preliminary registration, rush
ing and examinations out of the way
before classes begin. G;vm the uni
versity information about the stu
dent. Teaches the student a litti?
about the university.
Better preparation of new fresh
men for their work (library, deans'
lectures, etc.) ; better health due to
health lectures: better attitude to
ward duties of university citizenship
(lectures of president, deans of men
and women).
Opportunity for administrative of
ficers and members of the faculty to
give personal attention to the needs
of new students before the rush of
"old" students comes.
Opportunity- for better attention
to students entering college for the
first time.
It gives the freshman a chance to
settle down with a minimnm of dis
turbance, and the faculty a chance

to give them the proper amount of
attention.
Group B:
Orientation of freshmen.
Purpose of freshman days is to or
ganite these htudents ai a chics and
acquairt them with the gencial pro
ccduree of college life.
Freshman Week gives freshmen an
opportunity for first-hand ndvico on
scholastic matters from men.bcri of
tho faculty rather than from upper
classmen.
To orientate members of the class
before the actual opening of col
lege, and to give them information
about the college that they would
probably otherwi.se not gain.
What your main argument against
it?
It has no disadvantage. (This opin
ion comes from iveral universities.)
No argument ngainst it except ad
ditional expense.
Requires more effort on part of
faculty. (Some object to this.)
There is difficulty in getting all
the frwhmcn lo I r:'- 'i ate.
Toe much i ti'.'in itton deluges

roqu:rfd rll fra'rity men to come

allow freshman week for new women
only, in fall of 1926.
Response of students not entirely
satisfactory.
There is none. It can do no harm
and may do a great deal of good
Group B:
Rushing of fraternities.
Amounts to opening of school one
week earlier.
Expense in time and money to stu
dents iir.d faculty
From one university that does not
have, and does not intend to inau
gurate, a Freshman Week comes the
following:
We have weekly orientation lec
tures for freshmen that gives them
the same material. It is more sound
psychologically to aid the freshman
v-hile he is in contact with his prob
lems than to attempt to teach him
when he has no more than a slight
knowledge of what it all means.
How many day before registration
of the epper classmen do you require
the freshmen to report?
In this tabulation Group A and
Group B are combined. Two univer
sities require their freshmen to re
port one day before the registration
of the upper classmen; six require
two days; thirteen require three
days; eight require four days; six
require five days; none requires si
days; and four require seven days,
How many days are devoted to the
week?
Again we have combined Groups
A and B. Four universities devote
two days; eleven devote three days
eight devote four days; five devote
five days; six devote six days; and
three devote seven days.
Do you give lectures to the freshmen
during the week?
Group A:
Twenty-four answered yes.
Group B:
Fourteen answered yes.
Does the fraternity and sorority
rvshing; period come during the
Frcjhman Week?
, Group A:
Seven answered yes, and fifteen
no. From those answering no a few
remarks may be quoted:
Fraternities and sororities volun
tarily agreed to stay away.
It ends before the Freshman Week
begins. The administration requests that it
shall not interfere with exercises of
freshman days.
We rule against it.
Group B:
Two answered yes, one "Frater-
nities yes," and eight no.
In addition to the informatior
listed above, a number of complete
programs were received. These art
characterized by careful attention tc
! administrative detail and an attempt
1 !to make the whole project attractive
to faculty and student-body.

BOTANY REPORT MADE
IN CARNEGIE YEARBOOK
A preliminary report of four year's
investigation of plant competition, or
the struggle for existence among
plants, carried on by Dr. J. E. Wea
ver of the department of botany and
several graduate students, in coop
eration with workers at the alpine
laboratories on Pike's peak, has just
been published in the new yearbook
of the Carnegie Institution at Wash
ington, D. C.
Dr. Weaver plans to spend a part
of the summer preparing the manu
script of the full report, which he will
publish in conjunction with Dr. F. E.
Clements of the Carnegie Institution.
Senator Warner Gives
Second Radio Address
(Continued from Page One.)
increasing ratner rapidly. So serious
is this menace to American agricul
ture that Congress has recently ap
propriated ten million dollars to fight
it You can see how very essential it
ia that someone in Nebraska have the
power to quarantine against bringing
into the state anything which may
contain the corn borer, either in the
worm or the moth stages. It has been
spreading at the rate of 60 to 75
miles per year, and during the past
four years has reached one county
in Illinois."
According to the speaker there is
now a measure to appropriate $25,-
000 to fight the com borer in case
it should make its appearance in Ne
braska, and $2,200 for special pre
miums or improvements for county
fairs in counties under 50,0000 pop
ulations, by the county boards.
"Tho outstanding economic devel
opment of the age is In the field of
electricity," Senator Warner told his
invisible audience. "Nebraska has no
coal. Our energy must be developed
from fuel shipped in at great ex
pense. The foremost engineers in the
country have checked the possibility
of a hydro-electric plant near Smith
field with watei fro mthe Platte riv
er, and find it favorable. Steps to
make this available for the Nebraska
public seems desirable, and this is the
purpose of the bill.
"Based upon the experience in
Canada and upon the Pinchot inves
tigations in Pennsylvania, the entire
district will be readily within the
reach of sen-ice of a plant. In addi
tion to the direct benefit from cheap
power, the entire district is inter
ested in general distribution of en
ergy. Communities in the districts
outside of the large cities are doubly
interested because it affords the only
hope to them of electric rates reason
ably low. Farmers are most interested
of all. If electric energy is ever made
available to the farmer on a basis
he can afford to pay, it will be as a
result of hydro-electric development
under public control.
Important questions are pending
before this session of the legislature.
They may not be serious at this time.
Some of them may be awaiting solu
tion when you enter the legislature
halls. Give them careful attention
that you may be the more capable of
rendering worthy service when you
are called upon to serve your state,"
were the concluding words of the
Senator.

Freshmen and non-letter track men
worked out Monday afternoon on the

tri-color meet of the seasgn with the
Whites emerging victorious with a
total of 66 points. Blues, winners of
the first meet had 55 1-2 to 48 1-2

Effects of probation week were
noticeable in cutting down the num
ber of entries as well as affecting the
work of those who did run. Sneathen
and Dexter slid through a nice half
mile in 2:5.5, the former breaking
the tape a scant foot and a half to
the good. Chadderdon led a fast field
of milers to the tape in 4:39.5. Grif
fen, a freshman comer, ran handily
to take second.
Easter turned in some nice per
formances to win both the 50 and
220 yard dashes. Wyatt, brother of
Perly" Wyatt, veteran varsity quar
ter miler, turned in a fast 54.2 quar

was slow. Elkins got away to a leap
