ARTS COLLEGE
GROUP FORMED
Students to Discuss Proposals
Of Changes in College of
Arts and Sciences
IVAN HALL IS CHAIRMAN
Formation of a ne;v discussion
group concerning changes in the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences was an
nounced by Ivan Hall, chairman of
the new group. Any students inter
ested in the arts college are wecome
to attend discussion meetings, Mr.
Hall announced. The next meeting
will be held Thursday at 7:15 in the
Temple.
This is the third student group
which has taken up a discussion of
the arts college curriculum in recent
years. A committee worked out
several recommendations two years
ago under the leadership of Douglas
Orr, now a student at Swarthmore
college. Ivan Hall organized a group
last year which started on the work
which the new committee plans to
take up.
The purpose oi the discussions, Mr.
Hali states is to make an exhaustive
and systematic study cf the arts col
lege in co-operation with the faculty
members and Dean James and after
such study to formulate a report on
their findings and decisions If they
think it feasible.
"This group does not have the idea
of obliterating the Arts college off
hand, and setting up a radical plan
of its own," says Mr. HalL "But it
does have an idea that conditions
might be better in the college and
that through cooperation of students
and faculty members some definite
remedy may be found -nd carried
into effect.
"All plans and suggestions as to
the Arts college curriculum made al
ready in this University, or in other
universities, are to be considered im
partially in order to arrive more ef
fectively at the group's own deci
sion." The student committee which will
handle the discussions is composed of
Ivan Hall, chairman; Fred Christian-

THIRD CHASE IS
SET FOR TODAY
Hare and Hounds Will Run
Over New Course Through
Woods This Afternoon
HOUNDS' RUN IS HARDER
The third of Coach Henry F.
Schulte's hare and hound chases will
be run today, starting at 4:15 o'clock.
The race will start at the Belmont
schooL
This chase should be the best yet,
according to Coach Jimmy Lewis. A
new course has been laid out, which
will make the run more varied and
interesting. It is about two miles
in length. The route runs for part
of the way through wooded country,
giving the hares a better opportunity
to shake of the hounds. The fin
ishing goal will be unknown to the
runners, making it impossible for
them to take any short cuts, as they
have in the past.
The public is invited to see the
race, if any care to. The hare and
h.und chase is a new thing for these
parts, being introduced by Coach
Schulte this fall for the first time.

with those who worked over him
for more than thirty-five hours to
no avail, Carl Berry, 16-year-old
football player, finally stopped
breathing and died, as a result of
his lungs being paralyzed.

football game, and when it was
found he was having difficulty
with breathing, fellow football
players volunteered to pump his
arms up and down continually in
an effort to furnish artificial res
piration. While two attending physicians
believed Le boy's condition due to
the football injuries, two others

Lerner Will Take Lead; Is
Same Part Actor Played on
Kansas City Stage
KIRSCH DIRECTS SETTING
"Liliom," second play of the sea
son to 1 put on by the University
Players, is in rehearsal. Franz
Molnar, who wrote "The Swan," pre
sented last year by the Players, is
the author of "Liliom," which ran
for a year in New York, and has been
proclaimed one of the most success
ful plays in recent years.
Zolley Lerner will take the lead in
the play, carrying the part of 'Lil
iom.' In anticipation of his portrayal,
it is interesting to know that Mr.
Lerner played in this production with
the Kansas City Little Theatre group
several years ago.
"Liliom1' is a Hungarian word.
which, when translated, means,
"roughneck." "Liliom," the main
character, and from whom the play
takes its name, is everything his
name suggests. The cast for the
play is large, numbering around
thirty people. Mr. Dwight Kirsch, in
charge of , settings, promises some
thing novel in the line of simplified
stage arrangements. Much of the
plan involves use of drapery. There
are seven acts with six different sets.
The play will be presented Novem
ber 10, 11, and 12, inclusive, with
regular evening and matinee per
formances. Season tickets will ad
mit holders. Special and Saturday
student matinees will be offered. The
price of single tickets is seventy-five
cents for evening performances and
fifty for the Saturday matinee. Seats
are all reserved.

Of College 'Wrecks9 and 'Flivvers9
The Perpetual Senior was discuss
ing timely topics of the campus with
an intellectual group in fiont of So

ing a lull in the conversation the
Perpetual Senior remarked, "Where
are all the college flivvers that used
to grace, or rather disgrace the parte
ing spaces around school? I haven't
seen a single one this year."
The group glanced down the street
at the rowa of cars parked there.
There were smart limousines, snappy
roadsters, racy looking runabouts
and, "just cars." One lone flivver
stood in the midst of a row of dis
dainful automobiles. It had a slangy
5logan painted in red on its hood, and
bore the dejected look of being the
last survivor of a vanished race.
"When I was a freshman," stated
the Perpetual Senior, "college wrecks
were considered the dernier cri' in

SALES DRIVE OF
YEARBOOK GETS
LARGE RESULTS
Best Opening Day in History of
Annual Cornhusker Cam

SOCIETIES VIE FOR PRIZE
Free Trip to Kansas Will Be
Awarded to Individual
With Greatest Sales
The largest number of CornuhiJcer
sales ever made on the first day of
the annual campaign -was reported to
the business office of the 1928 year
book last evening, according to
Charles Bruce, business manager.
Tassels, Silver Serpents and Xi
Deltas, campus honorarfes are com

given to the one selling the greatest
number of books.
The representative student contest
is being held in connection with the
sales campaign. Subscribers to the
year book are given votes to cast for
the eight students who are most rep
resentative of Nebraska ideals.
Pick Idfeal Students
The Cornhusker staff is urging Ne
braska students to select eight stu
dents who are not necessarily socially
prominent, scholastically prominent
or solely activity students but who
are a combination of alL and truly
ideal Nebraska students. The results
of each day's votes are to be posted
in the College Book store and will ap
pear in the columns of the Daily Ne
braskan beginning tomorrow.
"The sales report for the Corn
huskers is very encouraging," Mr.
Bruce declared last evening when in
terviewed. ,
"A number of features are to ap
pear in this book which have never
before been offered to Nebraska stu
dents," Bruce stated. Dwight Wal
lace, editor of the book, is making a
trip to Minneapolis this week-end
to confer with the engravers. "We
are going to a considerable expense
but feel assured that the subscription
campaign will be enough larger than
in previous years to warrant the ex
pense," Mr. Bruce continued.
Slogan Adopted
The slogan of the book is, "for the
University and the State." The
spirit of helpfulness, devotion and
truth will permeate the text in the
opening section and on the main di
vision pages. The sub-division pages
will portray events in university life.
