Unable to Pick
1928 Prom Girl
"Who will be the Prom girl? Do
you really think that she will be
chosen. Who told yo uthat? Really I
believe no one can really say. Per
haps you are right."
These and many other queries
and comments have flooded the Ne
braska campus the past few days
and supporters of the six candidates
for Prom girl are becoming very ex
cited as the time for final voting
draws near. Attendants of the Prom,
will make their final choice and the
1928 Prom girl will make her ap
pearance at the party, Friday eve
ning. Rumors cannot be qualified and
political leaders find their hands tied
in predicting the probable winner.
Factions have not made an appear
ance to date and the identity will re
main a mystery until Friday evening
at 10 o'clock when she makes her ap
pearance. Checking of the votes cast
at the door as the couples enter the
ball room will be made so that the
Prom girl can make her entrance
just before intermission. Members of
the committee and faculty rerpesen-
tatives will count the votes.

The subject was considered as un

from a financial and national stand
point.
In the course of the talk, he point
ed out that it is American capital
being utilized in the development of
natural resources in this region, and
for this reason the work should re
ceive more than passing interest. The
developments taking place are of
prime economic importance to the

Role of Season
Curious Co-Eds Crowd Door to
Get Glimpse of Great
Lover of 'Sun Up'
(By Florence Seward)
To satisfy excited rumors which
have been gaining momentum on the
campus ever since rehearsals for
"Sun Up" began, Ray Ramsay was
induced to talk a little Tuesday mor
ning in regard to his role in the play
which will be presented this eve
ning for the first time. He was found
quietly secluded in his sanctum,
while an efficient secretary guarded
the door against the throng of cur
ious co-eds outside. Mr. Ramsay
looked placid enough.
"Yes, it is true. I am to be the
lover in 'Sun Up'," he explained in
a hushed voice. "After patiently
waiting for the part of the magnetic
mountain lad, I have my wish at
last, and Thursday evening, I'll make
my debut as the Great Lover." His
voice had raised a little. There was
a loud clamoring at the door. "Don't
let the girls in now," begged Ram
say in anxious tones.
Fame Has Spread
"You see," he expalined simply,
"my fame has spread already.
Thursday night we expert the girls
to swoon with sheer admiration and
joy at my work. We are taking pre-?
caution against too many casualties.
"The lucky girl in 'Sun Up, he
went on, with a benevolent smile,

CONSTRUCTION
I0VES SLOWLY
Work Is Delayed on Andrews
Hall Because of Colder
Weather This Week
CONTRACT IS MODIFIED
Construction work on Andrews
Hall progressed slowly the early part
of the week partly, due to colder wea
ther, and partly to give time for the
setting of concrete that had been
poured for the second floor.
Temporary supports have not yet
been removed from the ground floor
and work centered about elevating
additional blocks of Bedford stone
to the second floor, and making
ready for their placement as soon
as brick masons can resume work.
At present, the brick work and trim
mings have gone as far as the sec
ond story. Colder weather neceasi
tated the hanging of huge strips of
canvass over the north side openings
to exclude wind.
The contract for the interior work
on Andrews Hall has been modified
somewhat, to include an .acoustical
plaster in the class rooms on all three
floors of the buHding. Thi3 new
process of plastering will give the
walls a softer finish preventing ech
oes to a certain extent, and improv
ing the rooms for lectures and study.

CITY ATTORNEY
GIVES ADDRESS
Peterson Speaks to Students
In First of a Series of
Vocational Talks
SAYS STRENGTH NEEDED
"What we ourselves possess by
way of capacity or interest and what
the profession holds its appeal and
its drawbacks are the two factors
that help the student to decide whe
ther or not he or she should enter
the legal profession," declared C.
Petrus Peterson, city attorney of
Lincoln, speaking before a group of
students on "Law" in Social Sciences
auditorium last night.
This was the initial lecture of a
series to be given on the subject
of "Vocations" intended to help the

not as yet done so. The series will
continue over a period of five weeks,
the remaining lectures being given
on succeeding Wednesday evenings.

HILL GIVES TALK TO
CHEMICAL SOCIETY
I Doctor of Political Science Says
That Scientific Research
Affects Politics
Dr. X. L. Hill of the department
of political science gave an interest
ing address at the opening meeting
of Phi Lambda Upsilon, chemical so
ciety, last evening, in the lecture
hall of the chemistry building. He
outlined "The Effects of Modern
Scientific Research on the Political
World."
"Even religion has not escaped
the effects of Science," were Dr.
Hill's first words. He then continued
to show in just what degree political
science was affected by scientific re
search. Although we produce two
thirds of the world's supply of min
eral oil we consume more than we
produce, he said. Therefore, we have
to seek supplies in other countries
By scientific research, coupled with
political influence exerted in these
countries we have been able to make
our production equal our consump
tion. Treaties, inter-national tribun
als and arbitrations may be held to
settle controversies, but a single in
vention will turn the tide in the bal
ance of power, in his opinion.
In closing, Dr. Hill mentioned the
past accomplishments gained by the
co-operation of scientific research
and political science and pointed out
the even greater possibilities of fu
ture attainments. A discussion was
held after the address in which Dr.
Demming and Dr. Russell took lead
ing parts.

WILL SHOW THREE DAYS
Illiteracy and Ignorance of a
Certain American Type
Is Basis of Plot
University Players present "Sun
Up" in Temple Theatre at 8:20
o'clock this evening with Miss H,
Alice Howell and Mr. Ray Ramsay
playing the leading roles. Miss How
ell is director of the University Play
ers. She also took the lead in "Can
dida" this year, contrary to her cus
tom of taking only one part during
the season.
Miss Howell will play the part of
Widow Cagle in Lula Vollmer's play
of the Carolina mountain region.
Mr. Ramsay will appear as Rufe
Cagle, the widow's son, and Beatrice
Hullett will take the other principal
role, Emmy. The rest of the cast is:
Pap Todd Robert Reade
Bud Elwood Ramay
Sheriff Weeks Thad Cone
Preacher Jack Rank
The Stranger Herbert Yenne
Hob Zolley Lerner
"Sun Up", which will be presented
Friday and Saturday evenings also,
is a powerful life-study of the ig
norant, illiterate American mount
aineers. Various complications
around which the plot centers are
typically local, while the appeal is
strongly universal.
University Player fans will see
Rufe, the widow's son, taken away
to France by the World War. His
knowledge of the world is so lim
ited that his conception of France is
"about forty miles 'tother side of
Asheville." Upon his return, the story
begins in earnest, including all of
the traditional mountain supplies
feuds and moonshine.
The play is not without its hum
orous situations, nor its tragic ef
fects. It will be presented mostly in
the Carolina mountain dialect.
PFEIFFER SPEAKS
ON WAR OUTLAWRY
History Professor Declares That
We Must Have Something to
Substitute for War
"Today, only one out of thirty
treaties which were negotiated dur
ing war-time is in effect in regard
to the United States," was the start
ling fact revealed by Dr. Laura B.
Pfeiffer, associate professor of Eu
ropean history, yesterday at
the World Forum luncheon at the
Grand hotel. More than fifty persons
listened to Doctor Pfeiffer speak on
the subject, "Can Law Be Outlawed."
"Although my subject is au.ioun
ced as 'Can War Be Outlawed', the
League of Nations is my pet hobby
and I am going to talk about it,"
she continued. "Writers claim that
the younger generation is going to
the 'dogs', but I cannot believe that
when I see more than fifty persons
here to hear a lecture on a serious
subject like this one. In connection
with world affairs, a new treaty was
made with France this month. On
February sixth, the anniversary of
the treaty made with France by Ben
jamin Franklin in 1778, Briand and
Secretary Kellogg made an extension
of this old plan with promises to take
any differences between the two
countries to a court of arbitration
and hereafter never fight with each
other.
World Is Different Today
"The world is so different today
that we cannot talk about entangling
alliances. 'We're living on each
other's doorsteps'. This condition is
bound to cause more or less friction.
The abolition of war has been the
subject of the best minds of every
generation. The world has been made
up of empire builders and pacifists,
who are really trying to continue
peace. The reason why the pacifists
