All freshmen are urged to turn out for the event. The freshman barbecue has be come a traditional Nebraska event. 'It is distinctive in the fact that it is the only time dur ing the year when the first year men are gathered together for a social time. A program of speeches and other entertainment is being promised by the Iron Sphinx, who are sponsoring the event. PLAYERS PLAN NEW FEATURES "Liliom", Which Will Be Given This Week-End, Departure From Standard PRESENT TWO MATINEES "Liliom," Molnar's dramatic com edy to be presented by the Univer sity players Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, in the Tem ple theater, will offer the finest in entertainment besides a diversity of unique stage sets and effects to pa trons. Zolley Lerner, who will por tray the lead, played several years with a Kansas City stock company, in the same play, the lead of which he will play in the production of "Liliom" here. The action of the play takes place in Budapest, and revolves from a Hungarian carnival to a railroad ac cident with glimpses of life in Hea ven and Purgatory. With such a wide range of action, the sets for the production promise almost as much interest as the play itself. Mr. Dwight Kirsh is scenic director and designer. One scene which will be especially striking and unusual is that of the Heavenly court, with the judge and opposite doors leading to Heaven and Purgatory; mixed flood lights of red and white, issuing from the op posite entrances, produce a weird and amazing effort. A great arch, which is to be used in each scene, is a stock piece. It is to be used at different angles and for different things from a window seat to a rail road tressle. This piece of stage machinery is typical of the modern trend toward simpler and more ef fective stage settings. Evening performances start at 8 (Continued on Page 2) Nebraska Man Composes New State Melody A new song for Nebraskans en titled, "My Nebraska," has been written by Mr. Theodore Diers of the university. It is a patriotic song depicting the achievements of the pioneers and the happiness of the people that are in the state now. The song is entirely original both in words and tune and is easy to learn. There have been more than ten thousand copies of the song dis tributed to people in the state. The cover is done in golden yellow, bordered with ears of corn, while tbe general scene is one of the harvest moon. Mr. Glen Case, director of music in the public schools at Lincoln, praises the song. A group of the Four-II club meii.be rs learned the composition at one of their meeting and some two hundred of them sang it in Omaha not long ago. The words to the song follow: "My Nebraska, Dear Nebraska. State I love tbe best. Where pioneers first led the way Now lives a people blessed. And the though the sun shines hot in summer Or cold winter winds may blow, It's always ' Fair weather In Nebraska, where real folks grow." Hares and Hounds Will Compete This Afternoon Leonard Jamog, Phi Kappa, and Stewart CampbtIL Phi Delta Theta, will be hares in the weekly hare and hound race that will be run this af ternoon.
