AYRES DEFENDS
ALL-UNIVERSITY
PARTY PROPOSAL
Plan Provides Four Events
One Sponsored by Each
Academic Class.
OPPOSITION COUNTERED
Author Believes Idea Will
Bring Cooperation of
Barbi and Greeks.
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. It is designed to Improve
tbe relations between the frater
nity and nonfraternity groups.
Plan Before Council.
At the Inquiry of tho reporter
m to tha. possibility of the pas
sage of the plan by the Student
Council, Ayres replied that he was
not a prophet but that ho was
confident the council would act
wisely and according to its con
victions. 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.

FEATURES
S
Direct Attack Is Made on
Mechanical Trend of
Present Age.
IMAGINATION IS TAXED
Doctrine of Supremacy
Love and Sacrifice
Is Preached.
of
Something new and different is
being shown In "It. U. R.". the play
which is being produced by the
University Players this week at
the Temple theater. A direct at
tack is made on me mernanieai
trend of tbe present age while the
doctrine of tbe supremacy of love
and sacrifice is preached.
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. Miss Williams is. very

Orators Spend Season
on
Topics of National
Interest.
During the last few years a new
style of debating has become pop
ular in tbe middlewest. 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.
The three courses in tbe uni
versity which offer instruction in
argumentation and debating were
organized by Prof. M. M. Fogg
who conducted them for twenty
five years and developed the "Ne
braska system" of debating. Dr.
H. A. White has conducted the
courses since 1926. These courses
are written argumentation, inter
collegiate debate and oral argu
mentation. They are open to all
students except freshmen.

Lieut. Col. F. F. Jewelt, com
mundatit of R. O. T. C. forces at
the University of Nebraska for the
past five years, will be removed
to a different -t home time In

Colonel Jewett stated Monday
that although he knew of Colonel

consequently does not know where
he will be assigned. Colonel Jewett
said he did not know exactly when
he would be ordered to leave. He
bas been assigned to the command
of R. O. T. C. camp at Fort Crook
for next hummer and this might
continue bis stay in Nebraska a
little longer. There is nothing
definite about this, however.
Jewett Exceeds Time.
Although the regular army de
tail is only four years, Colonel

the last year which enabled him
to stay. The colonel came to Ne
braska from Fort Leavenworth
where be was a student In tbe ad

This award brings the total

considers awards from this In

worth as it is only . made after

others from all parts of the country-Mr.
