Nobody hhmild for the university authorities, always con iderate of the students who labor under their guidance, have pro vided new disturbing elements to keep the minds of harrassed stu dents off the boring lectures of their In.Hlructois. The new barn, we suppose Its a !aro for at least their painting In the color of red that Is appmved for such struc tures, has made lh knowledge seekers who are gathered In the collets forget all about the rallies which only a few weeks ago were the delight of the student body.

The book Is divided into nine distinct divisions or plots, each distinct unto Itself, but all com bined into a unit ny a common sense of appeal and tone of ex pression. In each chapter, a distinct char acter is presented. It is Damon in the first chapter, and other equally forceful personages are presented such as "The Stran ger," who stumbled onto a cabin of a priest iu the heart of a Cana dian woods, a fugitive from un just Justice. The final chapter inquires lit tle imagination to realize that the main character is the author. Dean Le Rossignol himself, as he plies his second hobby of fishing for mountain trout.

The Innocents, based on tradition and designated to boost student af fairs, have set another tradition besides two tone oxfords and cam put crushers. The Cornhusker grid banquet, planned by them has a complete sellout in the ticket col umn. According to members, the last ducat was disposed uf for one buck late last night, eetting a goal for the interfraternity banquet committee to aim toward. As stated before in the columns of The Daily Nebraskan, the grid iron banquet will accomodate 350, providing the beans and black bread hold out, and the football team will be ushered la as guests of the management. To those who have bought tick ets, no description of the affair will be necessary, and to those who were less fortunate, description would hold no temptation, so the stage is set for the crowning of the football captain and the tem porary scuffle In the Venetian room of the Lincoln hotel. 3 STEPANEK WILL TELL OF CZECHS Motion Pictures Will Aid 'Depiction of Life in New Republic.

Players Are Seeking a Fan Worthy Of Being Gift of an English Lord A fan! A fan! Who has a fan? That Is what the University Play ers are trying to find out. They need it badly, too, because it plaj s a vital role in "Lady Windermere's Van " which will open Friday eve ning at the Temple theater. Of course it can't be just an ordinary fan, for it must be the kind that an English lord would present to his wife as a birthday gift. And according to Oscar Wilde, the author of the play, those English lords were light up to the minute where gifts were con cerned. This fan, moreover, has the dis tinction of being: in more dramatic scenes than any character in the play. When anything exciting hap pens, the fan is not only right there, but also is usually the cause of it. While it doesn't say & word. It is the most important element in the show. The Players, recognizing the great distinction which will auto matically fall to that fan which will be chosen to take the part of BURNETT DENES HIS STATEMENT OPPOSED BARBS Chancellor Thinks Omaha Bee-News Story Is Misleading. SPEECH GIVEN MONDAY Analysis Was Intended to Show Ease of Fixing Responsibility. Denial that his remarks before the Bellevue Men's club of Omaha were derogatory to confraternity students In any way was made by Chancellor E. A. Burnett Wednes day night after being quoted by the Omaha Bee-News Wednesday morning as favoring the fraternity system and "rapping" the barbs. The remarks of the chancellor which he declares were grossly misinterpreted by the Bee-News reporter who covered the meeting dealt with the esse in which Foror- Ity and fraternity students could be handled because of their com pact organization. The Bellevue club meeting took place Monday niKht but an account of II did not appear until Wednesday in the Bee-News. The headline does not belong to the story," was the firrt comment made by Chancellor Burnett was shown a copy of the story. The re port carried the following head line: "Burnett Raps u. 'uarDar lans.1 " Comment Explained. In explaining his comments which were made before the Belle vue body. Chancellor Burnett also stated, "The statement credited to me about fraternities not being a problem and that It was the 3.000 or 4.000 students who are not in fraternities and sororities that cause the faculty troubles is not what I meant at all. I did not ln tcnJ to praise the fraternities nor did I intend to denounce the non- fraternity students. W hat 1 was try"1 to point out," the chancellor continued. was the ease with which frater nity and sorority groups can be handled, because of their compact ness, in contrast to the unorgan ised students those who are not connected with the fraternities and sororities. Whenever anything goes wrong in a fraternity we are al ways able to fl the responsibility upon one person, who will see that the proper recourse is taken." In comment on his treatment or the non-fraternity students. Chan cellor Burnett declared, "With the non-fraternity students, it is dif ferent. We have to get hold of them individually. In the most, and we are not able to get at them in as direct a way as with the. fra ternity students. Of course, after the dormitories are installed on this campus we will be able to handle the affairs of the non-fraternity students Just as easily as those of the fraternity students." Y. M. C. A. SEPARATE CABINET Agricultural Group Wants Separate Staff for Their Campus. Plana for the formation of & sep arate student Y. M. C. A. cabinet at the agricultural college will be made tonight when a small group will meet at the agricultural col lege cafeteria at 5:30 o'clock. The meeting has been called by Ted Menke, who Is in charge of Y. M. C. A. at the college. He said that the formation of a cabi net on the agricultural campus was planned in order to stimulate more interest in the work. He also said that he felt that a separate cabinet would be better able to care for the projects of the organization at the college. Lady Windermere's fan, have searched high and low for one worthy of the honor. They have examined palm leaf fans, ostrich feather fans, celluloid fans, and drug store monstrosities, but to no avail. The right one Just hasn't appeared. The Players have about decided that that feminine weapon is passe. In fact for that very reason and because they know that Nebraska coeds would not have anything which was not being used by the best of society, they have disre garded the suggestion to advertise in The Daily Nebraskan. That be ing out, someone else suggested that a contest be held, but the Players, remembering thu impor tance of the matter at stake, were afraid the campus politics would enter in. At last, being optimistic, they ask their friends to ask their friends and their friends' friends for a fan. All In all, t V a rerre racking problem, for wlJjout the fan there can be no presentation of I. the play.
