Coining to Un.oln. to the Inlvcraltv of Ne
braka Coliseum, for Hie second time, the Chicago
Civic Opera company presents Kami" Thursday
night One year apo, hen Lincoln received Ita flrat
taste of operatic production In 'II Trovatore, th
Kiheuu at Ihe Collacuiu a eetlmated at S.0'
eople.
Opera la a new thing for people In Nebraska,
that la. for the vm majority that have been de
prived of ihe adauingea of lmealng productions
In metropolitan theaters. A Mate with a large pro
portion of the population reading In rural dlatrlct
and with the rural asp-H penadlng all communities,
it haa not been natural that opera should becomo
Identified with the nilddlewcat.
Confinement to the metropolitan tenter hanot
be. n a criterion of the apprec iation of the prople of
the weat for audi high grade entertainment. Interest
In 'II Trovatore last year waa Indicative thai the ap
preciation for the finer thins of life wan not abs-ul
among people who live clone to nature, and whoKe
economic standing depend upon the product of the
tilled soil. Realizing that It waa an Impossible un
dertaking to transport humanity to the home of the
opera, the University of Nebraska haa brought opera
to the people of the atate.
There ia a second factor In the presentation of
-Pausf at the Coliaeum a factor that haa a doner
"touch upon the student In the University. In the
whole history of the University there have been but
two occasions when the atudents wc re given the op
portunity to witness opera In their on University
city. One of those times was laat year. The other
will be Thursday night at the Coliseum.
The silver screen, the rising star of Mwdoni.
the movie with the racy, gripping plot, romance, and,
now the 'talkies' have been the magnetic forces that
have worked upon college students, and that are
working upon them now. The modernity, the spice,
and the frankness of the movie, have appealed to
students. They like the real, the true, and the flame
of life. , ,
'Faust" U not that. Music, solo work, orchestra,
cctume. atage settings student patrons of the box
office will witness something different than a pass
ing exhibition of cardboard villages and acrecnland
heros who have been touted to the skies.
Faust Isn't a vilaphone picture, students:
TREES, GRASS AND FLOWERS
between the stadium and the Bancroft school
there appear a bare stretch which has only an oval
of pavement as an improvement. Although almost
a year has passed since the creation of the mall,
little haa been done about the development of the
area In the matter of landscaping.
The clearing away of the unsightly houses and
f hacks beiween Hessty hall and the Coliseum was
a vast improvement on the sight of the campus.
It Is now possible to get to the Coliseum for basket
ball games, workouts, and all the rest of the activ
ities centered In that building without wading
through a mire when it rains. i
Why not keep up this program of campus Im
provement, now that a start has been made? The
barren stretch which now appears on the mall could
be effectively done away with by the planting of a
little shrubbery, flowers, and so on.
The students of the College of Agriculture have
enjoyed a well-kept campus for many years. The
down-town students have waded through mud every
time It haa snowed or rained, braved filthy dust
storms off the drill field In dry weather, and with
stood every other inconvenience of the present cam
pus without complaining. They deserve some kind
of Improvement on the present facilities. A request
for a slight beauUfl?atlon of the mall i not unreas
onable. Improvement on other parts of the campus could
be made without too great an expenditure of money.
The "beauty spot" abounding the various build
ings are all too few.
It is fully understood and appreciated that the
present situation Is more or less temporary. Some
day a new campus will arise to replace the present
one. Such improvement will be costly, and the
time for tbelr accomplishment at the present seem
far distant The University h: i.i -e Important
needs than the development of Ui'-. campus now.
Among them are Oie raising of t: e alary scale of
the faculty, suitable dormitories 1j.- Ix.th men and
women, commodious bousing of cla .r and a host
of other needs which are necessary for the welfare
of the University.
In the meantime, thousands of students will be
passing through the University of Nebraska. For
fonr yara they will pursue tbelr various studies on
tils eampua. The surroundings la which they will
work win sot Tm aesthetic to say tha least Can
there net fcs some kind of Improvement mad for
tba students who are attending and win attend this
InaUtutlon before the completion of the plana for
the construction cf the campus beautiful?

business manager of that worth-while organisation.
It Is reported, and w-e know It to be a fact, that the
Mayers have great difficulties in making both ends
meet. In order to keop their current productions go
ing. Judging from the appalling number of empty
seats that have always greeted our eyes, whenever
wc have gone to see one of the plays, we don't
doubt for a moment that the creditors must hang
over the head of the business manager as the sworl
In classical mythology hung over the head of the

The editor gropes about, in trying to analyze
the reasons why the atudent body doesn't patronizo
these shows. He suggests the hour, the lack of
personal Interest, the type of show, and then throws
up his hands, aud declares that it la almost Impos
sible to look into the underlying causes. We agree
that such an analysis Is fraught with difficulties,
but we do think that the editor might have men
tioned one more apparent cause, which he un
doubtedly overlooked. I have reference to the barn
in which the Players have the opportunity of pre
senting their artistry to the public.
It is a mocking Incongruity to see a group
stage a r'gh-class play, with real merit and effort,
in an auditorium which seems to be a relic of the
middle ages. The stage Is tiny, ill-equipped, and
poorly dressed up. The floors creak with every
step, the aisles are down-right dangerous to the
patrons, the seats are old, noisy, and highly uncom
fortable. The whole place Is ugly, unkempt, pro
viding an atmosphere which is far removed from
that which an artistic production needs. Every
sound In the rest of the building, and there are
plenty of them during each performance, reverber
ates throughout the auCorlum. Every time the
large, antiquated doors swing open, the whe'e back
part of the'room Is disturbed.
This Is the nature of the 'sanctum sanctorum'
of one of the most valuable organizations on the
campus. It would require more than genius to make
a real successful season there possible; It would
need a miracle from up above.
The Flayers need a new theater, a real theater,
with all modern and convenient appurtenances.
Tbey need a place which is pleasing to the eye, an
attractive auditorium to which students will be
preud to go.
I'erhaps it is asking too much to expect the
University to provide a place for the Players at th j
present time. There are other buildings, undoubt
edly, which are In greater need of construction.
Then, too, it Is asking too much, perhaps, to es
pect a modern educational institution of any slse
whatever to do very much to raise the cultural and
spiritual plane of the student body. What matters it
If our scholastic standard U dragged into the mire,
by the failure to hold many of our promising teach
ers and scholars? Does It matter If it Is Impossible
to put across a series of well-chosen and well-played
dramas? What does th,! sll matter, so long as we

of widespread recognition, not only
among Americana of German ex

George Washington Olvany, chief
of powerful Tammany Hall, New
York's great democratic organiza
tion, baa resigned from his position.
His letter of resignation assigned
poor health as the cause for his
quitting. It has been rumored, bow
ever, that the real cause for his
resignation is the immense am
nioum. of criticism which he has re
ceived for the failure of the organ
!..' ti'in to carry New Tork state for
Al .- ...ith in the last presidential
campaign. The resignation of
Olvany is reported to be of groat
puii.Kial siglficance, inasmuch as
Olvi.i.y has been- Mayor Walker's
most powerful support. Walker's
nomination Is going to be up soon,
and there may be some who will
be disposed to question his hold
ing the office for another four year
term, as a result of 01vanys quit
ting. Twenty thousand people are af
fected by the latest flood waters
of the unruly Mississippi in Ala
bama. Scores of lives are reported
lost, and the property loss is so
feat that the computation of the
ajscuct of damages is said to be an
Impossible last at the present time.
This latest disaster in the South
calls to mind once again the ur
gency of the problem of flood con
trol. Government engineers are
working on the problem, and a pro
gram of construction has already
been started which alms to control
flood conditions as a whole. The
need for immediate relief, in the
form of a policy of protection that
will be able to avert future flood
disasters in the South, has never
been more apparent than It Is to
day. The latest headline story from
our remarkable fascist dictator of
Italy Is concerned with a new set
of fundamental commandments.

Tbls time the decalogue is ad

simple dictum is: "Mussolini Is al
ways right." This doctrine of the
infallibility of the reigning person
is not a new one. The strange thing
la that tha fascist party of sunny
Italy will swallow this latest edict

everything else which he haa de

Them Is one persistently purtl-
ing question which always clamors
for attention with regard to the
dictator of Italy, however, which
one can scarcety overlook. Grant
ing that Mussolini Is infallible.
through Infallibility in human be
ings Is Incompatible with the very
term "human," even granting ao
much of tbe argument what is go
ing to happen to Italy, the fascist
party, the Italian government, and
the dictatorship when Mussolini
dies? Surely his own Infallibility
will not necessarily carry the Im
putation that his 'children are also
Infallible. The day ruling by divine
right and with divinely-bestowed
wisdom, Is, we hope at least, de
finitely psst. And, in case the pre
miership of Italy does not pass on
to a lineal heir, and some other
member of the ruling party succeed
to the dictatorship, will he also be
Infallible?
A group of prominqat New York

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
A STEP TO INCREASE THEIR USEFULNESS
The movement among the scholastic honor so
cieties on the campus to meet and discuss common
problems Is an answer to the complaint that these
societies do not have enough to keep them busjr.
Tbev are all Interested In the same general field
that of furthering scholastic achievement, tut tbe
majority of them do nothing but "honor" tbelr
members.
Phi Beta Kappa, which contains tha most mem
bers, baa taken active steps to increase Interest la
scholarship by working through the high schools aad
with the entering students In college. Tbe other
grasps are not only small but also hare a more spe
cialised field, as they are mostly departmental. Tbe
banding together to form a general grams for discus
sion win not only enable them to further tbelr eora
mon slms? but also to meet tbelr common difficulties.
