Carter Cites Pat
In Warning A gainst
Further Cold Days
With the thermometer reading
57 at 2 p. m. yesterday, spring
seemed to be with us again after
an exceptionally cold January.
However H. G. Carter of the Uni
ted States Weather bureau on the
Nebraska campus warned against
being too sure that the cold days
of this season are over by referring
to records of the temperatures for
this time of year for the past fifty-four
years.
Since 1886 there have only been
nine days during the first ten days
of February on which tempera
V tures equal to that of yesterday's
high were recorded at the weather
bureau o.fice. The highest tem
perature to be recorded during this
period was on the third of Febru
ary, 1909, and on the fourth of the
month in 1890 when the mercury
reached a high of 67 degrees.
Records at the weather bureau

tified that tl.ere had been a large

The very unsatisfactory situa

court system was reported by Mr.
Pound. He told of "bnrgain days"
in which liquor cases were disposed
of in whonvtn lt, snd declared
that such actions were derogatory
to the dignity of the courts.
He also stated that the method
of disposing of liquor cases
througn the use of United States

6 of th2 constitution which sanc
tions the trial of petit criminal
cases without the use of a jury.
Mr. Pound pointed out the su

He stated that federal judges

COX. LASCHWIN AWARDS
Two changes have been made in
the selection of Rhodes scholars.
according to rulings recently ef
fected. Beginning in December.
1930, four men will be selected
each year from each district In
stead of two being selected every
three veani from each state.
Thre will be right districts with
six states in each district. Ne
braska will le grouped with Min
nesota, South Dakota. Iowa, Mis
souri and Kansas. The states are
grouped according to student pop
ulation. F-ach state will send two men
before a district committee under
the new arrangement, the report
avs. This committee will choose
the four Rhodes scholars, two of
whom may be from any one state.
No college or university can rec
ommend more than five men to ap
pear before the state committee.
The date for filing applications
has been set for Oct. 18.:
Good Approves Scheme.
"It is believed that this method
of selecting future Rhodes schol
ars conforms precisely to the
scheme that Cecil Rhodes had in
mind when he made his will pro
viding lor the scbGlar.ships," Paul
Good of Lincoln, secretary of the
Nebraska district, said. Mr. Good
is a former Rhodes scholar.
"There is no change in eligibil
ity requirements," Mr. Good con
tinued. The applicant must be A
male citizen of the United States
on Oct. 1. 1931. is not younger
than nineteen years or older than
twenty-five years. He can apply
from either the state in which he
is living or in which he took his
work.
"This new method of selection
may be considered as an experi
ment," Mr. Good commented, "be
cause the Rhodes committee re
serves the right to withdraw its
present plans. It was considered
unfair, however, to give small
schools the same number of
Rhodes scholars as the large ones."
Another change is the permis
sion to use a Rhodes scholarship

"Bridging the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado" by Willard Dann in
the feature article of the issue.
In this article Mr. Dann tells of
some of the early attempts to
cross the Grand Canyon and
shows the importance of the
bridge to that country. He points
out many of the engineering prob
lems that were confronted in the
construction. Because it is 120 in
the t-hadu durlug the coolest pail
of the year in the canyon it was
very difficult to get workmen.
Much Steel Used.
Also the workmen had to work
on cliffs 600 feet high and much
of the work had to be done on
ropes. Eleven hundred tons of
steel had to be trucked over 130
miles of desert and mountain
road from Flagstaff. Ariz., the
nearest shipping point. Four hun
dred tons of this steel had to be
built into rpan3 from caih cidc
so at one time spans 308 feet long
extended out into space with only
tie-backs to the bank for support.
The total cost of this bridge was
$310,000.
A. R. Swoboda, E. E. '03, has
written an article on "A Thousand

For Children as

"The plav's my play." Miss
Alice Howell, associate professor
of elocution and darmatic art,
said yesteruay. "I really have no
hobby that is not connected with
my work. But 1 am really inter
ested in developing the children's
theater." Miss Howell has been in
terested in that for several years,
she initiated the movement here i
and has devoted her spare lime I
to improving it earnestly for the
past three years. 1
Children's theater is the name
given the movement to provide
good spoken drama ror ooys and
girls, particularly in localities
where they are few professional
plays avail ble. In Lincoln, as in
many other cities, the movement
is sponsored by the Junior league.
A play a month is given
through the season and only
twenty-five cents admision is
charged to the children. Fairy
tales or stories written especially
for children are selected for
dramatization. Fcr the most part
the cast is selected from dramatic
studenta of the university. Miss
Howell directs the acting as well
as the production of the plays
No single event was the incep
tion for this hobby but Miss j
Howell felt that the coming gen- j

McCIeery, '31. Hastings, will b

its annual rprinjr bnw, according
to a bulletin released by the club
Thursday afternoon.
The play waa selected from a
number of manuscript a aubmltted
to the t-lub. All were of higti cali
ber and consequently considerable
time was spent In selecting tha
drama which would be used by the
club this year, according to mem
bers ol the organization. Mc
Cleery is also the author of last
year's show "Don't Be Silly" which
played a five day'a road trie
through the state besides a two
days' run at the Liberty theater.
He is a member cf Kosmet Klub,
Beta Theta Pi fraternity, Sigma

on The Duly Nebraskan. He Is a
junior in the school of Journalism
and was awarded the Sigma Delta

The scene in the first act of the

SONG CONTEST ES
T
Greeks Failing to Turn in
Dollar Disqualified
From Winning.
Noon today has been set aa the
deadline for fraternities to pay
their entrance fees into the inter
fraternity song contest which took
place over the radio recently. Any
organization that fails to pay its
fees before that time will be dis
qualified in the competition for the
prizes.
The fee is one dollar. Payment
should be made before noon to
Roger Robinson at the Phi Kappa

The money received from en
trance fees will be used by the In

10:30 and 11.30 o'clock.
During this time the winner of
the song contest wil be announced
over radio station KFAB and the
successful fraternity will be pre
sented with a trophy.
Develops Drama
Spare Time Hobby
ten this leads to tears, Miss
Howell says, because the children
are always deeply disappointed
when they cannot see the play.
Many of them come to see the
second presentation if one ia
given.
Once a year a play with a cast
of children is offered. While this
is always popular with those tak
ing part, it is not exceptional fav
ored by the young audiences. 'To
them the characters are so real,"
explained Miss Howell, "that Cin
derella is Cinderella, not a student
dramatizing the part. They do not
care to know who is playing a cer
tain role."
Miss Howell always enjoys
standing at the door aa the chil
dren come out of the theater and
hearing their comments. The
characters all seem so vivid, to
them that they say little but ap
preciation of the drama is always
evident in their faces.
Attendance at the productions
that have been given this year
seems to show that the chidren
appreciate the pleasures of the
theater and Miss Howell's hobby
has proved valuable to them aa
well aa interesting to her. "I have
long been looking for a hobby
nci allied with my work for I be
lieve that everyone should have
one. but I have not found any so
factinating os producing chil
dren's plays for children,- she
lauehed. "For sport, I particu
larly like walking and swimming
