Kosmet Klub Is
Victim of Fire
Havoc Saturday
Feminine Attire, Properties,
Trunks, Pianos, Scenery,
Are All Destroyed
(By Frit Daly)
A true tradegy, nearly as great as
those of Shakespeare, has visited our
campus, especially the Kosmet Klub,
and several of the fair co-eds.
Twould be fitting to cite here "The
Chicago Fire" for it brought no more
havoc to residents of the Windy City
than did the fire at the "familiar
landmark" which blazed into oblivion
last Saturday night.
Members of the Klub wore a down
cast look Sunday and Monday and
one would be lead to believe that
this world is a tough proposition af
ter all. And why shouldn't they?
After having completed a successful
tour with "The Love Hater" and hav
ing played to two full houses in Lin
coln something had to happen to spoil
all the enjoyment.
Women Short of Clothes
Members of the cast who lost bor
rowed feminine attire were hard
pressed to face the girl friend Sun
day and having not seen her in some
instances for over a week it was
tough. Several, of the fairer sex were
at a loss as to what they should wear
the next day as the cast had been
fitted out with their clothes.
Faint thoughts of matrimony,
which the poet so ably assembles in
the saying, "spring and a young
man's fancy," received a terrible
shock when the news burst forth that
formats came as high as $100.00. And

OPEN FORUM AFTER TALK
Speaker Recommends Study
Of Conditions of Our
Southern Neighbors
"Latin American Relations ' was
the topic of Dean Herman G. James'
address given before the Institute of
International Relations Monday eve
ning. An open forum was held after
the talk, in which current problems
of our relations with the Latin Amer
ican countries were discussed by the
audience, with Dean James leading.
It was first pointed out how the
attitude of the Latin American coun
tries toward the United States had
changed during the last hundred
years. At about the same time that
the Monroe Doctrine was enunciated,
these countries looked up to the
United States, and the sincerity of
their admiration can be proven in
the manner in which their constitu

KNOW YOUR
KAMPUS
Do you know that
"The Nebraskan" was founded in
1 8!-l and ut first was a rival paper
of "The Hesperian". The paper was
nicknamed "Riley's Rag" after its
one-time editor, Frank T. "Rag"
Riley and since then has been known
as "The Rag". "The Hesperian"
passed out of importance in 1896 and
"The Daily Nebraskan" was organiz
ed January 13, 1901.
Willa Cather, famous authoress,
was literary editor of "The Hesper
ian", the Daily Nebraskan's prede
cessor, in 1892 and a few years later
was editor-in-chief.
With the aid of football fans
among the faculty, the first football
team was organized in 1890. Doane
of Crete was the great rival in 1890
and 1891. Kansas and Iowa were
added to the schedule in 1892, the
Jayhawks winning 12 to 10 while the
Iowa game was tie. Crawford, an
old Michigan star, was the first pro
fessional coach coming to Nebraska
in 1803, and he sent the team
through an all-victorious season. The
1394 team was the first team to be
recognized as the champion of the
Missouri Valley college.
