Group "Attempts to Prevent
Musicians from Making
Excessive Charges.
A series of new regulations re
garding party orchestras has been
recommended by the Inter fratern
ity council lo the faculty commit
tee of student affairs and adopted
by that body.
Investigations conducted by the
inter fraternity council showed
that there was a variation of from
$7.50 to $17.50 per musician for
orchestras and also showed in-
stances where scheduled orches
tras had failed to put in appear
ance. The recommendations a a
adopted require that when the fra
ternity and sororities parties are'
registered at the office of the
dean of women the price of the
orchestra and the number of pieces
also be specified. The price paid
for an orchestra is to be deter
mined by the number of musicians
in it. In no case shall the orches
tra carry more than fifteen pieces
and in no case shall a local musi
cian receive more than $8 for an
evening's work. In case an out of
town orchestra is employed, two
dollars more per man is allowed.
The failure of any orchestra to
appear as scheduled shall be re
ported and this orchestra shall be
placed on the list of thost not ap
proved for fraternity and sorority
parties.

EACH OTHER DIPLOCK
English Debater Commends
Eforts of Hoover and
MacDonald.
D. J. K. Diplock of the Oxford
university debating team which
met Nebraska's team last night,
spoke before the Knife and Fork
club yesterday noon at the Lincoln
hotel. He expressed the thought
that England and tho United
States would have no trouble at
all if the two nations would get
better" acquainted. He commended
the efforts of President Hoover
and Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald in bringing a closer asso
ciation and understanding Deiween
the two countries, but stressed the
thought that the peoples of tho
two countries must learn more
about each other before this can
take place.
The luncheon was presided over
bv Prof. H. A. White, debate coach
of the university, and he Intro
duced the sneaker. The Nebraska
debate team composed of Alan Wil
liams, Evert Hunt and Frank Mor
rison, also attended the luncheon.
Chancellor Burnett and Dean
Thompson represented the univer
sity at the luncheon, while Mayor
Love represented the civic inter
ests.
During the afternoon Professor
White drove Mr. Diplock about the
city sightseeing. He also attended
the pep rally. Mr. Diplock's col
leagues, B. J. M. McKenna and
Richard Acland, arrived from
Hastings during the late evening.

WllHt br iiinra of all of tho coles
of tho apples ol. daily in the
women's gymnailum? One may
well wonder. Approxlmntily one
hundred apples are aoM dally. Es
timating that it would take about
a week or ten duys for the cores
to r.t into an Invisible state, there
chould I a thousand cores on tho
rampu. And yet, lu casually
glancing along the kldewalks or in
tbe bimhes, one rarely sees a core,
not to tho extent of over two or
three dozen a day, at lrat.
Comparatively few of tho re
maining number ever find their
way Into a w.iste baskrt In the
Inciter room of tho gymnasium.
Ono explanation irmams. Either
Nebraska coed eat their cores, or
they are excellent throwers. Or
perhaps Mr. Ucaubcin. the Jxnltor
of thj armory, might be ablo to
throw a littlo light on the mys
tery. HAHN THINKS TALENT
IS BEST IN HISTORY
Members of Staff Witness
Preview of Show for
Thanksgiving,
SCHRAMM ASSISTS KLUB
"An array of talent such as has
never been seen in any previous
Kosmet Klub Thanksgiving bhow
will lie used In the Thanksgiving
morning revue next Thursday," de
clared Carl J. Hahn, production
manager of the club, in comment
ing on the show material Thurs
day night.
The comment was made after a
preview of the entire revue bad
been given on the coliseum stage
last night. Prof. E. F. Schramm,
of the department of geology, and
Merle C. Rathburn, vice president
of the First Trust company, were
among tha audience who witnessed
tho preview.
The five acts by Alpha Omlcrou
PI, Sigma Nu and Kappa Alpha
Tbeta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Tau
Delta and Delta Delta Delta, and
Beta T'jcta 11 and Alpha Tau
Omega were presented and met
with a good deal of favorable com
ment. The various curtain Bkits
and individual numbers were also
successfully Ftaged. Directors of
the different casts, snappy chor
uses, and peppy bands were all
present and helped give the revue
a finishing touch.
Revue Has Songs.
A wealth of songs, both old and
new, will be used in me snow as
evidenced by the preview last
night. Many original tunes will be
featured, such aa BUI McCleery s
and Joyce Ayres' "Hey Hey
Hymn.'' This is a parody on a pop
ular tune and the new words com
posed by McCleery and Ayres are
calculated to take the public by
storm. As a contrast to this is the
familiar old hymn, "The Little
Brown Church in the Vale." The
repertoire of song's continues with
such school songs as "U-U-U-n-i,"
switches to the fastest and most
popular of dance tunes, then re
verts to such melodies as "Poor
Butterfly" and "Indian Love Call."
To tell the plots that go witn
these songs would be giving away
the show. Suffice it to say that
the show, according to the univer
sal opinion of everyone present nt
tho preview, is as good as the
songs and will fill two hours full
to the brim with novel and original
entertainment.
According: to Don Carlson, Kos-
met Klub supervisor of publicity,
invitations to Iowa students to at
tend the morning show are being
printed in the various Iowa news
papers. Letters to Nebraska fra
ternities and sororities inviting
them to attend the revue are also
being mailed. An electric lighted
sign on the Liberty theater, where
the show will be given, will be used
to announce the revue several days
before it is presented.

DEBATE
Speakers Direct Arguments
More to Audience Than
To Opponents.
NO DECISION IS MADE
Englishmen Please Hearers
With Clever Repartee
And Parrying.
Before an audience of approxi
mately 1,200 persons in Ft. Paul's
M. E. church last night three rep
resentatives cf Oxford, England
met in debate agalnit three repre
sentatives of tho University of Ne
braska. Tho Englishmen took the
affirmative and Nebraska tbe neg
ative on tbe question: Resolved,
the jury system is unnecessary for
the administration of justice.
Representatives for Oxford uni
versity were Roland Thomas Dyke
Ac'and, William John Kenneth
Diplock and Bernard Joseph Max
well MacKenna. Evert Merle
Hunt. Alan George Williams and
Frank Brunner Morrison spoke for
the University of Nebraska, Dr.
T. J. Thompson, dean of student
affairs, acted as presiding officer.
With clever combinations of
wise-cracking and straight-forward
statements of fact, both
teams won the favor and approval
of the audience. Tbe English de
balers, particularly, showed them
selves to b masters In the art of
rcparteo and tho parrying of wit
against Wit. In accordance with
international debate practice, no
decision by judges was rendered.
Men Display Knowledge.
Both Nebraska and Oxford dis
played a thorough going knowl
edge of various aspects of tbe
question under discussion. Poise
and ease of delivery characterized
the speeches of all contestants. A
distinctly English accent made it
difficult to gather the Import of
mucn or the address made by ox
ford's third speaker, Richard T. D.
Acland.
Speakers from both teams em
phasized the importance of de
hates between England and the
United States as a means for
closer association of the two
countries. ' Such meetings, ' state
Mr. McKenna. form one of the
best ways possible for the two
countries to get a better under
standing of each other's customs
and habits.
Nebraskans Defend Jury.
As the heart of their argument,
the Nebraskans contended that no
