By Jack Elliott
The autumn of 1900 opened a
peat period of three years in foot
ball history at the University of Ne
braska. From the beginning of the
pigskin pastime at Nebraska back in
1883 the great collegiate sport had
met with success, but these three
years seemed to be the highest.
Nebraska in the field of athletics
took another step forward in its
march to football and athletic su
premacy in the west and middle-west.
This march of progress was started
after the discouraging year of 1899
when the Cornhusker football team
vent through a disastrous year, win
ning but two games.
The Husker school had been put
ting out good football teams in the
past but the '00 team was probably
the most outstanding one that Ne
braska had put on the gridiron, and
the Scarlet and Cream followers
were proud of their moleskin war
riors when the season ended. When
tLe season closed, Nebraska had
marked up seven victories, two ties
and one defeat. The powerful Min
nesota Gophers, the only team to de
feat the Husker eleven and the only
team to cross the Nebraska goal line.
Team Coached by Booth
Much credit for the successful
year of 1900 was due to the hard
working Nebraska football director,
Coach W. C. Booth, who was coach
ing his second year at the Cornhus
ker school. He had light material to
work with and developed a. team of
speed instead of power and beef.
The custom for a number of years
was to play a game with the Lincoln
high school eleven as the season
opener, so in this year as in the past
the University met the high school
gridders. When the game was over,1
Lincoln still had what they started
with, while Coach Booth's warriors'

annual. The Campus Events section
will be longer than usual, with nine
teen pages, and will be in an attrac
tive layout. It will be on pebbled
paper as will be the scene section
which contains twelve pictorial views
of the downtown and agricultural
campuses.
The athletic section will be improved
considerably through the introduction
of a new layout, featuring action pic

MUSEUM CURATOR
SPEAKS AT FORUM
Frederick G. Collins Discusses "La
bels Museum and Otherwise" at
Regular Wednesday Luncheon
"Labels Museum and Otherwise"
was the subject of an address given
by Frederick G. Collins, assistant
curator of the University museum at
World Forum Wednesday noon at the
Grand Hotel.
Mr. Collins humorously told of the
difficulties of transferring the mu
seum from its old quarters to Mjrrill
Hall. He cited the case of a guinea
pig which was found labelled in t
new building as a mountain lion.. He
quoted a famous curator's definition
of a museum as "a collection of good
labels illustrated by specimens." He
declared that the animals and plants
in the museum were being furnished
with labels suitable to their surround
ings. "Labeling is always done under the
dominance of the theory believed at
the time," Mr. Collins stated. He
pointed out how political labels have
changed, how mineral labels and
chemical labels have changed, and
how the physicists are confronted
with a similar problem today.
In closing ha Bhowed that people
label everything and everybody
around them. "Each one of us is the
sole custodian of the ideal museum,
the museum of our own minds," he
claimed.

PLAY SETTINGS
BEING PLANNED
Designs for Scenery and Pro
perties to be Used in "Cy
rano de Bergerac" Started .
FIVE DIFFERENT SETTINGS
The work of designing and build
ing the scenery for "Cyrano de Ber
gerac" has been started by Stanley
Reiff, stage manager, and Leonard
Thiesen, scenic artist. The produc
tion is to be staged by the Dramatic
Club in the Temple Theater, ADril 28
and 29.
Due to the fact that "Merton of
the Movies" will not be presented
this week-end by the University
Players as was previously planned,
the stage builders will have more
time and will be able to produce
some unique and exceptional effects.
Begins in French Hotel
The play calls for five different
settings. The first is a large room or
court in a French hotel where theat
rical productions in the time of
Montfleury are produced.
The second act is a pastry shop
which will be'presided over by Zolley
Lerner who takes the role of Rague
neau, pastry cook and lover of art.
The third scene is the famous bal
cony scene, showing a portion of the
home of Roxane, heroine of the play.
Esther Zinnecker is playing this part
The fourth act is a battle scene.
This is where much of the action and
the climax of the show takes place.
The fifth and last setting is a con
vent garden. It is here that William
Prawl, as Cyrano de Bergerac, will
be given an opportunity to msko a
namj for himself in this world-famous
role.
Is Part of Fine Arts Week
The three performances of Cyrano
are to be a part of the annual Fine

SUGGESTED FOR
SETTLING GASES
Glenn Buck, President of Stu
dent Council, Has New Pro
cedure for Adjustments
MORE CASES PRESENTED
Two New Controversies
Brought Before Council. Re
elect Members for 1927-28
Two suggested cases for trial,
dealing with controversies arising be.
tween campus organizations, have
been brought to the attention of the
Student Council.
Glenn Buck, chairman of the
Council, suggests a new mode of pro
cedure that might be used in the set
tling of these differences.
, "In dealing with the two cases pre
sented to us at the Student Council
meeting this evening," Mr. Buck
stated late last night, "I should sug
gest that the Council act as a student
court. The parties concerned appear
ing before the Council, presenting
their cases, and the Council acting
finally in the matter. The Council
would confer with the executive
dean and the dean of women before
the decision would be final.
"This would be a step toward stu
dent government so popular in many
of the leading universities of the
country," he continued. ,
Is Within Sphere of Council's Duties
Mr. Buck pointed out that the pur
pose of the Council is to deal with
the relation of all extra-curricula ac
tivities to one another and to the
University as a whole; and the cre
ation of such other expressions of
student life as supplement those al
ready established and the direction
of such other matters of student in
terest as shall be initiated by or re
ferred to the Student Council.
These problems tome within this
sphere. No definite action has been
taken but the matter will be brought ,
up at the next regular meeting ofy
the Council.
Richard Vette, of Omaha, James
Jensen of Madison, Ruth Palmer, of
Holdrege and Ernestine McNeil of

this year's Council chosen to hold
over for next year. A special meeting
