Over Last Year
'THE SPIDER' IS FIRST
Alice Howell Again Directs
Work of Players For
This Season
With the presentation of the
play "The Spider," the University
players will open Its thirteenth
conHecutlve season next Monday
night-
Since 1915, the Initial year for
Tnlversity Players when Ibsen's
Ghosts was the first production,
the organization has been perpet
uated with the sole purpose of pre
senting the higher type of drama.
According to Ray Ramsay, busi
ness manager of the Players, pro
gress has been so marked, since
the first performance of the play
ers In 1915, as to warrant the pre
sentation of all plays a full week
during the approaching season.
"Season tickets are now on
sale," declared RamBay yesterday
afternoon. "The number of tickets
soid already this year shows about
a seventy-five per cent Increase
over the ealea at this time last
year. To me IX seems that the
University Players Is going to en
joy its most successful season in
1928-1929."
Plays produced by the Univer
sity Players this season will open
on Monday night and play until
Saturday night with a single mat
inee on Saturday afternoon. Sea
son tickets for the evening per
formance are on sale for five dol
lars while those for the Saturday
matinee are selling for four dol
lars. The price for tickets for the.
eight plays to be given, if bought
singly would be six dollars.
The program of plays for the
ensuing players theatrical season
is as follows: The Spider; What
Anne Brought Home, The Trial of
Mary Dugan, Elmer the Great, The
Outsider, Crime, The Constant
Wife, and Behold This Dreamer.
Iiamsay states that these are the
latest plays that are obtainable,
regardless of royalty, and that it
will be at least two years before
these plays will be as well known
in the middle west as some of the
older ones.
"The Trial of Mary Dugan" re
cently completed a long run in
New York only to open in Chicago.
"Elmer the Great" opens in New
York city for the first run next
week. According to Ramsay, the
University Players is the first
6tnck company west of Cleveland
to present "The Spider."
"We feel that the people of Lin
coln and the students of the Unl
wrsity are entitled to the newest
and best plays obtainable, and that
Is why we are not producing some
of the older plays," Ramsay con
tinued. "During the ensuing theat
rical season the University Players
will be the only dramatic produc
ing company in Lincoln."
Although the student sale of
tickets has only begun, fraternities
anil sororities are reserving tickets
by the block for the run of eight
plays. Under the direction of Miss
Alice Howell, work on "The Spi
I't" has been progressing for pro
duction beginning next. Monday
night running through the week
with the wlndup performance Sat
urday night.
Fl
I
New System Inaugurated at
Nebraska With Paid
Supervision
"The system of student manager
ship of athletics has been abolished
by action of the Athletic Board,"
said Herbert D. Glsh yesterday. Al
though the system has been re
moved, men who had nrnfd a posi
'Ion as senior manager for the pies
i nt season were allowed to con
tinue In their capacity of student
managers.
The reason for this act, as given
hy Mr. Glsh, was that better re
sponsibility and closer supervision
of equipment would be possible If
the managers were hired by the
athletic department.
In removing the student-manager
h.VHtcra, the Board has taken no
radical action. Although this sys
tem is almost universal in eastern
schools, it is not widespread In tin:
west.

Eighty-one students have earn
estly declared their intention of
preparing themselves for a legal
profession. With the registration
of eighty-one freshmen, the law
college has an enrollment of five

greater number of upper class
men, making a total enrollment of
m.
Several courses have been drop

W. A. A. Provides
Co-Ed Activity
For Recreation
The major part of-recreational
activity fur university women on
the Nebraska rumpus is sponsored
and promoted by the Women's Ath
letie association. Out of a, desire to
have all competitive eents man
aged by themselves, a group of
girls active in sports organized the
Women's Athletic association uf the
University ot Nebraska in 1917.
The standard and aim of the asso
ciation is athletic endeavor as an
aid to mental, moral and physicl
efficiency.
All undergraduate women are eli
gible. They must, however, carry at
least 15 hours of university work
with an average of 80 in 12 of
the' fifteen hours, and have earned
125 points in university athletics.
Graduate women may become asso
ciate members by fulfilling the
same requirements as do the under
graduate women, except they need
not carry many hours.
Points are awaraed for positions
on the first, second and third squad
teams in the following sports:
Baseball, basketball, hockey, arch
ery, soccer, volleyball, tennis, rifle
marksmanship, and dancing. Points
are awarded by the hour for horse
back riding, hiking, bicycling, and
skating.
The local organization, of W. A.
A. is a member of the Athletic
Conference of American College
Women and the National Amateur
Athletic federation. Miss Wagner
sponsors the women's athletics at
the University of Nebraska. The
officers for 1928-1929 are as fol
lows: President, Clarice McDon
ald; vice president, Sue Hall; sec
retary, MildreU Olsen, and treas
urer, Marjorle Eastabrook.

Coach Schulte Has But
Three Lettermen to Build
On This Season
MISSOURI IS FIRST
Of the one hundred men report
ing for the varsity cross country
team, but three , are letter , men,
these being Grif feu, Cummings and
Sprague. It is possible that Grif
fen may be the only experienced
man on the squad for Cumings
and Sprague may be unable to par
ticipate due to outside work.
Of the others out, there Is much
ambition but little experience
among the candidates.
At the present light work is the
program due to the fact that it is
yet early in the season, but within
two weeks the strenuous work
will be in full swing and the best
prospects will be showing up
ahead of the others.
The first competition is with
Missouri, October 27, to bo run be
tween halves of the Missouri-Nebraska
football game. On the fol
lowing Saturday the team will
Journey to Kansas where it will
compete with the Kansas team.
November 10 marks the date with
the Oklahoma team at Oklahoma.
These two meets are expected to
be the stiffest competition for the
cross country team this year. The
place for the M. V. I. C. A. A. meet
on November 17, has not as yet
been learned by any Nebraska of
ficials. The second annual hare and
hound 'race, for both fraternity
and non-fraternity men, will com
mence next Tuesday, according to
Coach Henry F. Schulte. Informa
tion lias been sent to all fraternity
houses to begin compiling a list of
entries lor the event.
Gaudy Cap Will
Be Best Dress
For Freshmen
The well dressed freshman a'

features of head haberdashery for
college boys. The brim ;s quite nar
row. The cap is of the form-fitting
style and clings closely to the skull.
One of the outstanding features
of Hiis synthetic "Homlii rg" is the
appearance o,' red letters on the
front. "19:12" Is the Insignia, an
nouncing to the world in general
and the campus In particular that
the head under the brilliant cap is
a new one; one which houses a
mind unused to University studies,
lie will stand out In a crowd with
out taking correspondence lessons
on the saxophone or musical saw.
The Law Bulletin, a periodical
issued four times a year, covering
the leading current cases and legal
affairs ot the entire staff, is pub
lished by the upper classmen of
the college. The staff of this

Summer Trip
Guatemala, Capital City of
South Was Headquarters of
Kansas City Oil Company
Fords, Prince Albert smoking
tobacco, and other necessities of
the average Nebraska man, are
little seen in Central America, ac
cording to the story told by Prof.
E. F. Schramm, of the department
of geology, w ho returned last week
from a six week's trip of geological
Investigations In Guatemala.
"All Import duties are very high
there," declared Schramm, "and.
as the duty Is the same on all
makes of cars, the smaller ones do
not find favor. A can of tobacco,
which sells for fifteen or tw'enty
cents In the United States, retails
for fifty or sixty cenis in Guate
mala. Gasoline sells for seventy
five cents a gallon. Native prod
ucts of the country, on the other
hand, are very reasonable."
Professor Schramm, and Mr. Guy
Scholl, who graduated several
years ago from the department of
geology at the University of Ne
braska, were employed by a num
ber of Kansas City oil companies
to make the trip with the idea of
ascertaining the possibilities of oil
production in that region. They
were successful In locating a num
ber of geological structures, par
ticularly along the Atlantic coast,
Indicating the presence of oil.
"We were unfortunate in that
our visit fell during the rainy sea
son," stated Professor Schramm.
"Rain was on the daily program,
and we were soaked to the skin
time after time. This, of course,
made our survey work very diffi
cult. For the greater part of the
year, however, Central America Is
a very pleasant and healthful
country."

of the state ,is a beautiful spot,

Monday Night
Frost Is Sure
Autumn Omen
chilling frost, sure omen of
autumn and the football season,
visited Lincoln and vicinity Mon
day night for the first time this
year. When the leaves begin to
turn color and when Nebraska
kicks off at Ames, then we may be
sure that autumn is here. The low
est temperature recorded here was
35 c.bove, according to Mr. lilalr,
meteorologist of the U. S. Weather
Bureau. There was a killing frost
in the northern and western parts
of the state.
Students may have sought more
covers last night but what return
ing student ran forget the swelter
ing heat which had to be endured
the first week of last year. The
average temperature from the 15th
of September to the 22nd last year
was 67 degrees while the past week
has been fully 10 degrees lower.
The intensive heat of last year was
not only a poor incentive to study
but it delayed the start of football
practice.
If the year 1927 may be taken as
n guide, no one need fear a killing
frost for another month. The first
one last year was on October 31st.
As a whole the winter of 1927-28
was a very mild and dry one. The
month of December was unusually
cold but the months of January,
February and March were very dry.
