tion, "Alias the Deacon," October 6,
7, and 8, thei University Players will
open their twelfth season. Miss H.
Alice Howell is directing the activi
ties of the players, and Ray Ramsay
is manager. An unusual attraction
of this year's schedule is the fact
that eight plays will be offered
throughout the season, instead of the
customary seven: The other produc
tions are the best selection that
could be decided upon from the mass
of splendid material offered.
"Lilliom," "Old English," "The
Devil and the Cheese," "Tonrmie.'l
"Two Girls Wanted" and "Rip Van
Winkle" are the additional plays of
fered. "Hamlet" is the Shapespea
ii8n play to be given this year, mak
ing eight in all. Many of these pro
ductions are recent and high! suc
cessful in Mew York stage successes,
while the assortment offered is va
ried enough to pieas the most dis
rrmi.rsting patnri
The high caliber of the Players'
offerings since they started some
years ago has always kept them in
favorable light with the public, and
with the offerings to be given this
year, appearances point to another
successful season.
Regular Beason tickets are now on
sale in. room 153, Temple, for both
the evening performances and the
regular student matinee. Evenings

talk on "The Citizen and the Govern

priveleges as well as the duties of
every American citizen, "for we have
learned to regard many other things

citizenship. He is born into it and
cannot lose it except as he voluntar

other government other than the one

AWGWAN COPY
GOES TO PRESS
First Section of Material for
Comic Publication Sent
To Engravers
EDITOR IS OPTIMISTIC
First copy for "The Eye-Opener,"
initial issue of the Awgwan, student
humor magazine, which is scheduled
to be off the press October 10, went
tothe engravers yesterday.
The attractive cover design on,
"The Eye-Opener" is designed to
catch the fancy of the college stu
dent, Munro Kezer, editor, said Mon
day afternoon. "It is the student's
magazine and it is being edited with
but one intention to entertain the
student body."
Size of the first issue has not yet
been determined but it will be ' at
least 28 pages, the same as the larg
est issues of last year and possibly
32 pages. Campus comics have been
turning their wit loose freely since
school opened and the Awgwan has
been deluged with material in the
last few days.
The art staff of the Awgwan this
year is almost entirely new. Work
on the "Eye-Opener" indicated that
Nebraska students would be treated
to a higher class of cartoon work this
year than they have been in the past.
New Grading is
Inaugurated at
Indiana School
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (By Intercol
legiate Press and Purdue Exponent)
Students of Purdue were greeted
on their return this fall with the an
nouncement of a new system of grad
ing in several of the departments,
especially those of science and math
ematics. The new system provides that the
student shall have demonstrated to
the instructor's satisfaction a fami
liarity with those essentials which
have been decided upon as being the
least that the student should have ac
quired during the semester to carry
on successfully any subject follow
ing. In the physics department there
will be test given every week, which
must be passed with a grade of 100
per cent, in order to pass the course.
If the student fails to pass one of
these he must retake the quiz later.
In the majority of the departments
the instruptor will decide from the
manner in which the various exam
inations are passed whether the stu
dent merits a grade which will pass
him.
At the end of the semester's work
in the science courses there will be
given the student a "minimum es
sentials" examination. If this is
passed with a grade of 100 per cent,
the student will receive a P. If he
desires a higher grade than this an
other test will be given which will
include facts not absolutely neces
sary to carrying on of the advanced
work. An H after the grade will in
dicate that the student has passed
the course with an almost perfect
record.

DELEGATE TO GO TO
FUELS CONFERENCE
Representatives from Nebraska Me
chanical Engineering Dept.
Will Attend Meeting
The Nebraska Mechanical Engin
eering department is planning to
send a delegate to the first National
Fuels Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri,
October 10, 11, 12 and 13.
This is the first national meeting
of this kind that has been held. The
purpose is in the interest of the use
and conservation of fuels. The con
vention will take up power plants,
smoke abatement and other items of
concern.
Mr. Lueb, chairman of the state
engineering department has written
letters to all the divisions of the Ne
braska department and asked them
to cooperate.
While the interest in fuel has been
quite general, there has been no cen
tralized agency for development and
dissemination of sound information
on proper and efficient use of fuels.
It is essential, if the problem of fuels
is properly taken care of, that all
engineers be in contact with one an
other and this is precisely the pur
pose of this meeting.
There will be speakers from var
ious schools in the United States and
several from foreign countries.

College Decides That
Football Is Necessity
ANANDALE, N. Y. (LP.) After
two years without a football team,
St. Stephen's college here has de
cided that it cannot afford to exist
as an educational institution without
the grid game. Consequently the
sport has been reintroduced. Games
will be played this year with colleges
which have open dates on their sched
ules. Next year a regular schedule
will be made out.
College Men Need Police
Protection from Co-eds
The college man must be pro
tected !
This at least is the opinion of
the Cambridge police force, which
has started a drive to put an end
to flappers driving sport cars
picking up college men in this
city. In the past few weeks three
women have been arrested for ac
costing strangers while only one
man has suffered for this mistake.
Purpose of Law School Is to Products
Lawyers, Says Dean Foster in Speech
"The chief purpose of this law
school is to produce lawyers of a
type that will be a benefit to the

of the University College of Law, in
a talk, "Why the College of Law?"
over the radio yesterday afternoon.
"More than three-fourths of the
presidents of the United States have
been lawyers or have had law train
ing. Congress has always had more
lawyers than men from the other
walks of life, and the Supreme court
is composed entirely of lawyers. The
lawyer today is an officer of the
court, an advisor of his clients, and
a drafter of legal instruments. The

fitted. Experience with parties and
experience with the Varsities of pre
vious years, and general ability will
be taken into consideration as well
as their scholastic standing.
"Every effort will be made to put
on this new committee those students
who are best fit to fill the positions
and will make the Varsity dances on
the Nebraska campus the type of
event that has proven so popular in
other leading colleges in the coun
