of the witness at several points with
Judge Dodd sustaining the objec
tions in most cases. At one point
Marti said, "I object to his repeti
tion." The court had to be called to
order to quell the laughter.
Crowd sentiment was evidently
strongly, for the plaintiff. Cheers
greeted remarks favorable to Sigma
Delta Chi while hisseB were heard
throughout the evening at question
able statements of defense witnesses.
Plaintiff attempted next to' estab
lish copy from the Daily Ncbraskan
as evidence with Lee Vance, manag
ing editor of the Nebraskan, as testi
mony. Court refused to accept the
copy as evidence on Attorney Marti's
objection that it was only hearsay.
Frandien Next Witness
Julius Frandsen, a member of both
the University Night committee and
Sigma Delta Chi, was next called to
the witness stand. Frandsen testi
fied that he saw the1 story on the
prize submitted to managing ed
itor of the Daily Nebraskan and
claimed- that he could identify the
prize submitted to the managing ed
story as to the essential facts.
At this point Royce West was re
called to the stand for further cross
examination. He claimed during this
examination a discrepancy between
the statements of the Daily Ne
braskan in regard to the offering of
the prize and the actual conditions.
The Daily Nebraskan quoted West
as saying that a prize was to be given
for the best skit submitted. He

collegiate players. Attorneys for
me plaintiff questioned him as to
why he had never obiected tn tha
statements published in the Ne
braskan as being false. The cross
examination was broken off when
West was asked, "What share in the
proceeds from University Night do
you get?" Attorney Marti objected
and the objection was sustained.
Nelson Takes Stand
Paul Nelson, a Nebraskan reporter
next took the stand. He was asked.
"Are you a reporter on the Dailv
Nebraskan?"
"Yes."
"When did you take that office?" I
"It isn't an office as yet."
Nelson was handed a sheet with
a news story on it and asked if he had
seen it before. "Yes," he replied,!
"In substance at least it is the story !
that West dictated -to me at the Ne- j
braskan some time ago." Marti ob-l
jected to the story as evidence as the
plaintiff hadn't established where it
came from. The objection was sus
tained. Attorney Craig then took the
floor to question the accuracy of a
new reporter such as Nelson had ad
mitted he was at the time.
Hunt Next Witness
Joe Hunt, a member of the Uni
versity Night committee when called
to the stand testified that he was not
present when the committee decided
to offer a prize nor when it voted on
who should receive the prize, so was
dismissed.
Edward Morrow, another member
of both contesting organizations, took
the witness chair next. Morrow said
he was present at the meeting when
the committee voted to offer the
prize. He said that in hia under
standing the $20 was to be given to
the best skit submitted; that there
was no limitation placed on the offer
except the date. Craig interrupted
him to remind him, "Remember that
you are under oath to tell the whole
truth and nothing but the truth,"
which brought another gale of laugh
ter from the audience. ,
Frandsen Recalled
Julius Frandsen was recalled to the
stand after Mr. Morrow's testimony.
He admitted that he was chairman of
a Sigma Delta " Chi committee to
write the skit and that the skit was
submitted to the University Night
committee.
Lee Vance was recalled to the
stand again and testified that Royce
West gave him information as to the
winning of the prize. When ques
tioned, he said that West had told
him to put the announcement in the
Nebraskan.
In cross-examination . the evidence
showed that "West never objected to
the story until the question of not
paying the money came up."
Defense Calls Jones
Defense opened up their case with
Merle Jones on the witness stand.
He testified that it was understood
in the committee that the group win
ning the prize were responsible for
getting Pi Epsilon Delta to present
the skit In the give-and-take of the
next few witnesses, it was admitted
that no objections had ever been
made to the published report of the

West on appearing on the stand
again admitted that he had taken the
skit to Herbert Yenne to seei about
getting it produced. Attorney Elster
asked West, "Was there any provis
ion for profit to you if the proceeds
passed a certain amout?"
"Yes."
n "Did the proceeds reach that
amount?"
"Yes."
"Then if the defense wins, you
will Win $20."
"No, only about $10."
Craig Argues West's Advantage
Attorney Craig tried to show at
this point that West had an advan
tage to be gained by Sigma Delta
Chi's winning the case, also because
of reduction of assessments.
Ethylyn Ayres repeated the esti
mony of Merle Jones in large. Elice
Holovtchiner was called by the de
fense but was not present. Merle
Jones reappeared on the stand to
testify that no formal vote on award
ing of the prize had ever been
called.
Herbert Yenne then took the stand
for the plaintiff. Asked if the skit
was submitted with the idea of pro
ducing it, he said, "Oh, yes, without
a doubt." He added, "I understood
last year that the Players would pre
sent the prize-winning skit annually.
The University Night date was
changed and I sent the skit back to
West with regrets that we couldn't
present it at that time."
Recess Follows Testimony
A recess followed the closing of
the testimony after which Elster
summarized for the plaintiff, Marti
for the defense, and Vette closed the
arguments for the-plaintiff.
Attorneys for the plaintiff were
Fred Vette, and Richard Elster. At
torneys for the defense, wera Lloya
Marti and Robert Craig. The jury
was composed of Stedman French,
Arthur Sweet, Emerson Mead, James
Jensen, Richard Vette, Glenn Buck,
Alice Johnson, Eloise MacAhan, Lin
coln Frost jr., Tom Elliott, Ernes
tine McNeill, Esther Zinnecker, and
Ruth French.
HIGH SPOTS OF THE TRIAL
At the opening of the trial the jury
was composed of fourteen members
of the Student Council, but after the
recess there were only thirteen. One
of the jurors did n it return in time
to hear the attorneys sum up their
cases and was not allowed to vote in
the final decision.
V. Royce West had his finances
well examined. It was discovered that
if the verdict was given to the Y. M.
C. A. he was winner about ten dol
lars, while if Sigma Delta Chi won
he would also be ahead the amount
of an annual assessment.
One of the main points of Sigma
Delta Chi's case was lost when the
testimony of W. F. (Doc.) Jones,
Jr., of the Cornhusker, was thrown
out as irrele-'ont.

IT THE CUT OF YOUR. CLOTHES THAT COUNTS
To be really
fine looking
a suit must be correctly cut
( T
It stands to reason, when
you think it ov'er.
What except the dc
sign, or cut, of a suit can
give it the easy swagger,
the clean'Cut extinction,
that men call "sin ait"?
Fabrics are important,
of course. For instance,
it's important to know
this Spring that light
colored fabrics are much
in favor. If your hair is
dark, you'll do weii to
choose a tan or light
gray fabric for the Spring
suit. If your hair is light
you may want to go to a
medium brown, an ox'
ford, or blue. But after
all, fabric can make a
good'looking suit only
if the cut is right.
Our advice to the
young man who wants
his clothes to be really
distinctive is this:
See that the suit you
buy is correctly cut.
Youll be certain it is, if
you choose
