Ia view of the coming action of the .Student Council concerning: the proposed All-Unlverslty party plan conceived by Joyce AyreB, the author of the plan made the following- ntatemeni to a rseoraa kan representative: "I believe the council's action on the party plan will determine. In a large measure, the future status of co-operation between the two major groups on the Nebraska campus, that is, the Greeks and the barbs. "Tbe council has bad due time in which to consider the plan," he continued, "and Its decision should be formed with no little amount of intelligent thought" Some Opposition. When questioned concerning the opposition to tbe plan, Ayrcs an swered: "Of course there baa been oppo sition. I have found, however, that tbe greater part of It has come from those who are individual or group conscious. Those who think in terms of the university as a whole san see tbe merits of tbe plan. In my opinion, the proposed party plan is no expression of uni versity consciousness." The plan under consideration was published verbatim in an earlier issue of The Daily tie braskan and baa been before tbe council for the past several weeks. It provides for a Joint sponsorship of All-University parties by a committee composed of members from the Student Council, the Barb executive board and the presidents of the four academic classes.

He stated further, that should the proposal pass the council and the faculty committee on student affairs, it should be referred to the student body by referendum at tbe next general election.

R.". the play which is being produced by the University Players this week at the Temple theater.

Imaginations were taxed when playcoers were urged to compre hend conditions and problems of the future when man bad sur passed all his former achievements and actually produced mechanical men. faster and more perfect than rat ure. Not a few gave a shudder of horror when the business mana ger spoke nonchalantly of troughs full of brains and livers or spin ning mills turning out yards of nerves and veins. The action of the play opened in the office of tbe director of the factory which manufactured "Ros- sum's Universal Robots." Miss Hel ena Glory, daughter of the presi dent of the company, had come to tbe island in behalf of the Human ity league to try to improve the lot of tbe robots. Robots Kill Off Men. Tbe directors of the company all fall in love with her although she marries Harry Domin, the busi ness manager, because he is the first one to ask her. The second act of the play deals with a period ten years later. Due to the urg- ings of Helena, the plant psysiol- ogist has made tbe robots so per fect that they have rebelled and are slaughtering mankind all over the world. In tbe last act all the humans on the Island except one get killed. In tbe epilogue the robots are un easy because they cannot produce any more robots, tbe secret for-i mula having been lost. Two of tbe robots, however, were made so per fectly that they become human enough to fall in love and so all bumanlty is saved. Richard Page as Harry Domin and Faye .Williams as Helena take tbe leads. Mr. Page as the busi ness manager Impressed the audi ence with bis business like man ner, and amused them immensely with his ten minute courtship of Helena.

University of Nebraska teams have followed the new method for several sea sons. This change has permitted debate teams to concentrate on discussion of topics of the day and the debates are not judged in the conventional manner. Three questions on which the university team argued during the 1929-30 season are. resolved, that the jury system is unnecessary for the administration of justice: re solved, that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarma ment, except for such forces as are needed for police purpo .-j: and resolved, that the advcrti,siug of commodities as practiced 'ja the United States today by oriiflufac turers, wholesalers and dealers is more harmful than beneficial. Radio debating bas been carried on at Nebraska for the last three years and radio debates with split teams are the only type judged. Judges who have served this year are Lloyd S. Chapman, assistant city attorney; Clarence L. Clark, attorney; Prof. T. J. Fitzpatrick, Floyd W. Leavitt, Lloyd J. Marti, attorney, and Rev. Ben F. Wyland.
