AT CONVOCATION "China's Patriots" is Subject Of Chinese Educator On Monday Morning SUN YAT SEN PRAISED . "How much the Chinese situation is like the situation was In America in the time of Washington.

Gilman, Acting President of Central China's University, at a university convocation Monday in Temple Theater at 11 o'clock, on "China's Patriots".

CHANGE MADE IN PHARMACY DATE Engineers Ask Pharmacists to Celebrate Same Week; Decide on May 5 MAY BE ROUND-UP WEEK "At the request of the engineers, headed by Mr. Mickey, the College of Pharmacy has decided to change the date of Pharmacy Week from April 14 to the date of the engineers open house, May b. xms does not mean that Pharmacy week and En gineers' week have anything in com mon. The heads of the departments hope that by this plan of having the open houses of the different colleges at the same time they may make it of such importance that the alumni will decide to have round-up week as a feature at the same time," Mr. Kenneth Reed, chairman of the com mittee for Pharmacy week said today. "The alumni who come back for round-up week do not see any of the real work of the old school. They do not have the opportunity of learning how the work of the school has pro cessed. If the colleges held their open houses during round-up week, it would give the alumni an oppor tunity to see their alma-mater as it is today. The heads of the different colleges think that this can be ar ranged." Exhibits Not Connected The fact that the open houses will be held at the same time does not mean that they will be connected in any way. The p1a is to be worked out for the ereater convenience of the alumni. Each college will hold its own Droeram and give its own exhibit separately. "The purpose of Pharmacy week is to give the students a chance to express themselves to the public so that they will take an added interest in their profession, and to give the public a chance to more fully realize what Pharmacy as a profession is composed of and what it does for the community. Nebraska College of Pharmacy is a pioneer in the work of Pharmacy Night and other schools are watching her. At a former meet incr of the faculties of schools of Pharmacy, Professor J. B. Burt, head of the Nebraska department, out lined the work of Pharmacy Night and suggested that it be made the regular program of all the schools.

SATURDAY VARSITY PARTY POSTPONED Other University Functions Lead the Committee to Cancel Party; To Tie Giren Later The Varsity Dance scheduled for Saturday evening will not be held,, according to announcement made by members of that committee late yes terday afternoon. Several downtown parties have been scheduled for this evening and the committee felt it ad visable to postpone the Varsity Dance until a later date. The attendance at the last few parties has convinced the dance com mittee that definite steps must be taken to revive the interest in these affairs and their efforts for tbs ust few weeks, will be concentrated in devising new plans for the remaining few parties that they may decide to give. These parties are being given for the benefit of the student body, in an effort to promote a more democratic campus spirit, the members point out, and in order to accomplish this purpose they feel they must make the remaining parties of this year as attractive as possible. The coliseum floor would not be in the best of con dition for this Saturday night and several other features could not be properly arranged so the committee has taken this action. Definite date for the next Varsity Dance will be announced in the fu ture.
