KOSMET KLUB
OFFERS PRIZE
FOR JEST SKIT
$100 Will Be Awarded Student
Or Faculty Member Submit
ting Best Musical Comedy
REQUIREMENTS L I S T E D
Skit Must Be Suitable for All-.
Male Cast and Long Enough
For Evening' Program
A cash prize of one hundred dol
fors is offered again this year for
the best musical comedy manuscript
submitted by a student or faculty
member before October 1, 1927, it
was announced this afternoon. The
best manuscript will be presented by
Kosmet Klub.
The only requirements placed upon
the writing of the manuscript are:
that it shall be suitable for an all
male cast and shall be long enough
for an evening's entertainment. The
value of the play shall bo judged by
the Kosmet Klub member and shall
be selected as winner f or-its original
ity cleverness, and adaptability.
Musical accompaniment must be in
cluded.
Yeene Winner in 1926
Lost year the Kosnret Klub prize
was won by Herbert Yenne, instruc
tor in elocution and dramatic art.
The entire cast made a tour of the
state. Towns played " in were Ne
braska City, Beatrice, Hastings,
Grand Island, Norfolk, Columbus,
Fremont, and Omaha, and twice in
Lincoln.
In order that the talent of the Uni-
versity may be presented to the best
advantage, it is hoped that many
manuscripts will be submitted.
In looking over the original plays
put on in the past by Kosmet Klub it
is apparent that these presentations,
all of which have been written by
Uniiversity students or faculty mem
bers, reflect the dramatic talent of
the University. This standard has
been constantly raised.
Shows of thft calibre of "The
Dream Pirate" should furnish a good
example of what is expected of the
contestants for this prize.
Large Number
Of Students
Pay Own Way
More than one third of the 208
men in the College of Agriculture are
working their way through school,
seventy-six having steady jobs which
occupy most of their time outside
of class hours, and seventy more be
ing listed for part time work.
A conservative estimate of the
average student's expenses for one
school year is $500. By exceptional
. thrift rome are able to reduce their
expenditures below this mark. Many
students average working four hours
a day, which, with, wages at thirty
cents per hour, amounts to about
250 during the nine months term.
This does not necessitate Sunday
work. By these means a large num
ber of students are able to attend the
college who would otherwise be pro
hibited by lack of financial resources.
Itemized Summary
An itemized summary of expenses
for one year is given in the follow
ing student budget:
Fees:
Matriculation (payable only once)
15.00.
Registration (each semester) $1.00
Tuition, approximate, $27.00.
Living Expenses:
Board and room, one semester, ap
proximate $140.00.
Supplies:
Books, approximate, for one se
mester, $20.00.
Incidental expenses for laundry,
car fare, and amusements will vary
with different students, so that no
two budgets are alike..
Grades Not Lowered
The grades of these students who
are working have held up to a high
standard, at least on an average
with those who are not working.
These men are here for a purpose, as
is shown by their willingness to work
for their opportunity. The .men are
accustomed to take whatever work
offered at first. Usually they soon
"id a more satisfactory, steady job
long lines in which they are inter
ested. Many students work into de
partments in the college and receive
much practical training along with
their college courses.

NET SQUAD WINS
INDOOR CONTEST
Divide Two 'Singles Matches
And Win Doubles to Beat
Oklahoma Two-Man Team
ALL MATCHES ARE CLOSE
The Husker tennis squad made it
three wins out of four meets when
they defeated a two-man team from
Oklahoma Aggies, yesterday after
noon, on the Coliseum indoor courts.
The teams broke even on the singles
matches and Nebraska copped the
only doubles match played.
Heacock, Nebraska No. 1 man, fell
before the powerful drives of Barnes,
6-3, 6-1. Heacock was unable to
cope with the over-head smashes and
drives of the Oklahoma southpaw.
The left-hander had his opponent
continually in hand with his drives
and services.
Elliott defeated Gabbord of Okla
homa in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. Elliott
was pushing the Oklahoma man con
tinually but found plenty of opposi
tion throughout.
Doublet Match a Thriller
The doubles match proved a thrill
er when the Husker team composed
of Heacock and Elliott sailed through
the first set 6-3. In the second set
the Oklahoma doubles team recovered
and took the set 6-4, after Nebraska
had acquired a 4-2 lead. The leuull
of the entire meet rested upon the
final set and it appeared that Ne
braska was doomed to defeat when
the visitors led the set 5-4, but Hea
cock and Elliott pulled themselves,
deucing the set, and taking the final
two games to win 7-5.
Proposed meets with Missouri and
Washington were out of order when
convenient dates could not be decided
upon. However, two regular matches
have been scheduled with the Wes
leyan squad, one on Thursday and the
other the following Monday. The
annual Missouri Valley meet will be
held on the local courts May 20 and
21.

Engineers and Laws Decide to Bury
The "Eggs"; Chip in to Pay Damages
Arrangements were made yester
day for a peaceful settlement of the
damages incurred in the riot Thurs
day night by the engineers on the
Phi Alpha Delta fraternity house.
The settlement will be made ac
cording to recommendations made by
the deans of the two colleges con
cerned and Dean Chatburn. These
recommendations were formulated in
a conference of the deans Saturday.
The deans of the respective col
leges presented the matter to their
students in .special convocations yes
terday and the men voted to settle
in the interests of the University ac
cording to the recommendations.
The expenses will be met by an as
sessment on a per capita basis of all
students in both colleges. It is
thought that seventy-five cents per
student will be sufficient to cover all
damages.
The students of both groups voted
independently to tax themselves this
amount with the understanding that
if there is anything left after the
damages are paid, the remainder will
be refunded probably on the same

any disagreement occurs between the

Dean Foster put the situation be

the Law building at 11 o clock.
While the lawyers felt that they were
reallv the injured parties and that
they were not responsible for the
trouble, they agreed that since it is
to the best interest of the University
and the College of Law, they would
be willing to make some concessions
to have the matter settled without
court action.
Denn Ferguson presented the case
to his engineers at a convocation in

Miss Robnett is Speaker
At Vespers Service Today
Mrs. Florence Robnett, person
nel worker who is visiting the
campus this week, will be the
speaker at Vespers Tuesday night
at five o clock in Ellen Smith Hall.
Her talk will be on the subject
"How to Reach the Top in Your
Chosen Profession." The services
are in charge of the A. W. S.
board and will be lead by Eloise
Keefer. The special music will
be a piano solo by Maude Stoeger.
WOMEN ADVISED
AS TO LIFE WORK
Mrs. Robnett, Vocational
Worker, Discusses Profes
sions at Convocation
TO SPEAK AT AG COLLEGE
"Be sure that you want to do
the type of work which you decide
upon, for every activity leaves cer
tain personality marks," stated Mrs.
Florence Robnett, managing director
of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of
Occupations at a convocation of Ne
braska women at 11 o'clock Monday
in the Temple. "For," she added,
"personality goes hand in hand with
ability in securing a position."
Mrs. Robnett, who is a trained
worker in the field of vocational
guidance, discussed the many differ
ent types which are of interest to
women and the success that may be
attained in each. "Formerly," she
declared, "practically every girl who
did not marry after leaving school
became a teacher or a nurse. Now,
according to the last census, women
are in 379 different occupations.
Nearly every field is shared by men
and women alike."
Women in Semi-Professions
The more commonly known pro
fessions for which one does not pre
pare unless well advised as to open
ings, such as medicine, law, dentistry,
and the like, Mrs. Robnett passed
over. It is chiefly the semi-professions
whch are of interest to women
in colleges.
Advertising and editorial wcrk
is the thing that half the women ma
joring in English plan to do. The
chief question in this field is to "get
in". It is the most over-crowded pro
fession in the country. "The only
sure way is through the realm of
stenography."
Field of Social Service
"The social service field is a fas
cinating one for women, and one in
which there is chance for individual
expression in its different aspects. So
also is library work, especially for
those interested in academic lines."
Home Economics is an attractive
field for women. College trained ex
perts are in great demand. Nursing,
which is closed allied with home
i-conomics, also offers opportunities
to the woman with personality and
initiative.
"Be Sure You Like Your Work"
"Bui above all," Mrs. Robnett
stressed, "be sure that you really
like your chosen work. It is extreme
ly difficult to change prolessions
after you have once begun in one.
It is as hard as going from one moun
tain peak to another. You must go
clear to the bottom and then go clear
back up."
Personal conferences and round
table discussions will be conducted
by Mrs. Robnett Tuesday morning
from 9 to 11:30. At noon she will
speak at the Agricultural Campus
convocation. Women who wish per
sonal conferences with Mrs. Robnett,
and who have not yet signed up for
them may do so in Ellen Smith Hall
Tuesday morning.
