When the University Night com

scheduling a theater, some mmbers

abandoned. This suggestion was over
rated, though, because the Y. M. C.

This was th seventeenth year that
the Nieht has been staged at Nebras

money-making scheme for the Y. M.

entire university and the student
body. One of the features of the ear

LINDSAY SPEAKS
HERE THURSDAY
Noted Labor Leader Arrives
Tomorrow to Discuss
Current Problems
DETAINED BY ILLNESS
Kenneth Lindsay, noted labor
speaker and author, is expected to
arrive in Lincoln early Thursday
morning unless further information
is received late Tuedsay evening.
The prominent labor supporter was
scheduled to come on Tuesday for a
three-day' visit in the city when he
was to be the principal speaker at
a number of meetings and gatherings,
but was detained in Denver because
of illness.
Efforts are being made to induce
Mr. Lindsay to remain in Lincoln
over Friday, since his expected visit
to the city will be shortened due to
his illness, and has necessitated some
change in the schedule of addresses.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, in
Social Science 105, he will speak to
Professor William's class in Modern
Social Reform.
Will Speak at Convocation
This will be the first of his lec
tures. At 11 o'clock Thursday morn
ing he will address a university con
vocation audience in the Social
Science auditorium on "Social Pro
gress and Educational Waste." It is
to be noted that this convocation is
to be held in the Social Science audi
torium. Immediately following the convo
cation program, . Mr. Lindsay will
speak at noon, to an Agricultural Col
lege World Forum. The subject of
the address is indefinite as yet but
it will undoubtedly be on some other
phase of the labor problem. Plans
for other addresses are tentative as

PRIZE DISPUTE
Sigma Delta Chi Asserts Right
To $20 Award Offered For
Priz-Winning Skit
COUNCIL SITS AS JURY
Professor Dodd Will be Judge;
Close Questions of Law
Delay. Case
Trial of the $20 suit of Sigma
Delta Chi vs. the University Y. M.
C. A. has been set for Tuesday, April
19. Prof. E. M. Dodd of the Col
lege of Law will be judge.
Attorneys representing both liti
gants conferred yesterday adn stipu
lated conditions for the trial. Pro
fessor Dodd was agreed upon as
judge and accepted the position after
a conference with counsel.
Richard Elster and Fred Vette,
members of Sigma Delta Chi's legal
staff, are preparing the petition,
which will be filed with Mr. Dodd by
Friday. Robert F. Craig and Lloyd
Marti, for the Y. M. C. A., will pro
bably file a demurrer shortly there
after. Council Will Decide Facts
The Student Council will sit as a
jury, its members deciding the facts
in the case and Professor Dodd ruling
on questions of law.
Previous plans to bring the case to
trial soon were abandoned by attor
neys for both "ides when it was found
that there were a number of close
questions of law that will take con
siderable investigation. It is thought
that three weeks will be ample time.
It had been planned to hold the
trial in the law college moot court
room, but because of the interest
shown in the trial it may be neces
sary to seek a larger room.
Professor Dodd Is Judge
Professor Dodd is professor of
equity, quasi-contracts and corpora
tions. He agreed to sit as judge only
after being assured that the suit
wn3 not frivolou-, and that the plain
tiff seriously intended to get judg
ment. He declared that he would
rule strictly on all points.
The case resulted from the failure
of the University Night committee,
representing the Y. M. C. A., to pay
Sigma Delia Chi $20 which the jour
nalistic fraternity claims it won for
submitting the best skit for Univer
sity Night. The committee was un
able to have the skit presented by Pi
Epsilon Delta, the national collegiate
players, because of a conflict with
"The Merchant of Venice."
Committee Opposes Move
The committee is said to feel that
the failure to present the skit auto
matically cancelled the prize. There
is some question also as to whether
it was actually awarded officially.
Members of Sigma Delta Chi have
charged that other arrangements
i i i i j f ii..
couia nave Deen maue xor ine pre-1
sentation, but that the skit was de- j
liberately suppressed Decause it was
an expose of fraternity pilitics.
In reply, charges have been made
by some members of the committee
that .the award was fraudulent be
cause of the preponderance of mem
bers of Sigma Delta Chi on the com
mittee. Several members of the
Journalistic rou who were 'also
members of the committee assisted
in writing the skit, it is said.

editors have again assembled an array
of literary talent, the quality of
which made the last issue well re
ceived throughout the state.

ness manager, subscriptions have
been coming in at a fair rate in the
interim between publications, and
the quarterly has all indications of
becoming a fixture at Nebraska. The

FRENCH DRAMA
WILL BE GIVEN
Dramatic Club Will Present
"Cyrano de Bergerac" on
April 28 and 29
REVERT TO OLD CUSTOM
"Cyrano de Bergerac," Rostand's
world-famous French drama, will be
presented in the Temple Theater
April 28 and 29 by the University
Dramatic Club.
The presentation of a show by the
Dramatic Club is a reversion to an
old custom of the University for the
annual Dramatic Club show was al
ways one of the high spots in the
year's schedule in past years. ' The
organization has not presented a play
for several years, however.
"Cyrano de Bergerac" is well
known to a large number of Univer
sity students. A number of French
classes have studied it in the original
and one of Prof. Paul H. Grun
mann's continental drama classes also
studies it in its English translation
each semester.
Leon Connell, instructor in the
dramatics department, is Jiioclins
the show and has beep, working with
the cast for several weeks. The show
is already in good shape and by the
end of April, when it is to be staged,
it should be one of the most polished
productions seen on a Lincoln stage
this year.
Three' performances are being
planned, Thursday night, Friday mat
inee, and Friday night. The advance
ticket sale by members of the Dram
atic Club will start immediately after
spring vacation.
