PLAN 10 ORGANIZE
Committees to Send Out
Questionnaire for Ideas
On Club.
Plans for organizing a society
for graduate students at the Uni
versity of Nebraska are being
.drawn up by a student comniiuee
which will send out a questionnaire
this week to the 415 students in
the graduate college through the
office of Dr. F. W. Upson, grad
uate dean.
Just what kind of an organiza
tion will be formed is to be left up
to the students. The vote taken
through the questionnaire will de
cide the type of the society.
Weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly
meetings, parties, programs and
social gatherings are suggested
ideas for the graduate club get
togethers. There is no campus organiza
tion made up of graduate students
at the present time. Few gioupt
permit graduate students in their
membership. Need for some so
ciety to provide social and recrea
tional life for the advanced stu
dents is felt by the unoffit ial com
mittee which is forwardir.g the or
ganization scheme.

Lewis Swingler, Negro Youth From
Tulsa, Makes Way Through School;
Had Only $30 When Left Oklahoma
BY REX WAGNER.
With si aivcly a dollar to his name but with an unconciuer
nhlp munition to aeuirr an education in spite of great odds
apainst him. Lewis Swingler, of Tulsa, Okla., a negro student
enrolled in tlie school of journalism of the University of Ne
braska, launched upon his college eareer in September of 1926.
Swingler bad graduated from the Tulsa negro high achool the
preceding June. o
Because of lack of finances he
had not planned to enter college
In the fall but had intended to
watt and matriculate the second
semester after he had worked and
saved some money. A friend who
has since graduated from the
University of Nebraska asked
Swingler to go to Lincoln with
him and the congregation of the
negro church of which Swingler
was a member, learning of his
ambition to attend college, raised
$30 and gave It to him.
With this $30, a desire for an
education and a will to work,
Swingler set out for Lincoln. Half
of his financial assets were swal
lowed up in railroad fare and
after he had paid room rent for
two weeks he had exactly 50
cents left.
Worked for Feet.
Immediately he went to work.
He got a job shining shoes in
the Y. M. C. A. It was two weeks
before school would start and in
that two weeks he was able to
scrape enough together to pay
his matriculation and tuition fees.
He explained that the state fair
was being held in Lincoln during
this time and business was es
pecially brisk.
He worked the entire year in
the shining parlor and at the
close of school he had saved $175
after paying all his college ex
penses. During his entire college
career Swingler has worked in
the Y. M. C. A. shinging parlor.
During the summers following
his sophomore and junior years
he was employed as a porter on
GIRLS' TEAM NEARLY
Meat Judgers of Missouri
Edge Out Nebraskans by
19 Point Lead.
EVA BUEL RANKS FIRST
Nebraska's girl meat judging
team came within 19 points of
bringing back the Chicago tropny
for keeps, Prof. William J. Loef
fel of the agricultural college re
ported when he arrived in Lincoln
from the contest. Missouri won
with a team score of 2259. Ne
braska's score was 2240.
Eva Buel of Hickman was the
high individual judge of the con
test with a score of 797 of a pos
sible 900 points. Miss Buel was
firs? on beef, tied for fourth on
lamb, and was ninth on pork judg
ing. The official judges said she
was the most outstanding judge of
beef they had ever seen. She
placed two of the three classes cor
rectly and received two 49's out
of a possible 50 on her three sets
of reasons on beef.
Other Members Lower.
Annie Brackett of Lincoln and
Chrirftene Carlson of Lincoln were
the other two members of the
team. They were tenth on pork and
tenth on lamb, respectively. The
team as a whole was second in
judging beef and lamb, and third
in judging pork. The girls had fif
teen correct placings out of a pos
sible twenty-seven.
In the Chicago contest the girls
were required to judge two classes
of beef carcasses, two of beef cuts,
one pork carcass, two of pork cuts,
and two of lamb carcasses. They1
had to write reasons on all of
these classes aud were given ten j
minutes for reasons on each class.
Nineteen had entered the 1930 con- '
test. One of them was from On
t?:io, Canada. In the five years
that meat judging contests have
been held in Chicago, Nebraska
has been first twice, second' once,
third once, and ninth the other
time. Three of the five teams have
been made up of home ecnomics
students of the agricultural col
lege. Other states enter college
men in this contest.

Professor Loeffel has helped in
the coaching of each of these
teems and has been assisted by
Miss Mae Mcintosh and Dr. .Re

of borne economics of the agricul
tural college.

INDUSTRIAL STAFF
BEGINS DIME DRIVE
FOR AID OF NEEDY
A "dime eamt)ais-n" has been
started by the industrial staff of
the Y. W. C. A. to aid in support
ing a poor family. Over $20 has
been raised the first week with
the Chi Omega sorority contribu
tion of $10 heading the list.
As a part of its study of unem
ployment as it exists today, the
group has started the campaign to
raise dimes. Evelyn Adler, leader
of the group, was enthusiastic.
"This is twice as much as we hoped
to raise the first week," she said,
"and if every one of the 5,000 stu
dents in the university gave ten
cents, that would make $500.
The group will have a dinner
next Tuesday evening in Ellen
Smith hall where they will discuss
unemployment conditions. Anyone
wishing to contribute may turn in
his dime to Ellen Smith hall.

Gilman Writes of Customs of New
Zealand People,
News of the adventures of La
Selle Gilman. former Daily Ne
braskan columnist, has been re
ceived by his mother, Mrs. George
Hill. The former author of "Be
tween the Lines" has kept bis
friends well informed of his travels
through New Zealand, by means
of letters which) give an accurate
and interesting account of life in
remote lands.
Gilman crossed the Pacific in the
"Makura" which was to dock at
Wellington, Oct. 1$. On the way
the boat made a short stay at
Papeete on Tahiti Island. It was
a typical spot of the tropics, a
French possession filled 'with a
cosmopolitan crowd of French,
English, American, hall castes,
Chinese, and natives.
Describes Island.
"We sighted the island at dawn,
and it was surely enchanting after
days of ocean; huge volcanic
mountains and the heavy tropical
growth of cocoa palms and the
coral reef. I went ashore with the
Australian chap, and w wandered
about all day. A queer town;
signs written in English, French,
native and Chinese; the natives
wear little clothing; red dresses
and straw hats; white people wear
drill and pith helmets. Everyone
rides bicycles and everyone seemed
to own an outrigger canoe; the bay
was filled with trading schooners
that go out into the islands.
"We ate all sorts of junk; fruit,
ice cream and Chinese pastry,
eggs, etc. Here's what we bought
and took aboard with us two
dozen bananas, sixteen oranges,
four cocoanuts and three pawpaws,
all for 65 cents and the fruit was
lovely. Liquors are very cheap
there and most of the passengers
made a dive for the "pubs," and a
lot of people were pretty druni
when we sailed, because Papette
is noted for going wild on boat
days.
'Jump Over Day.
That was Friday. Because they
had crossed the international date
line, the next day was Sunday in
stead of Saturday. The boat
would soon reach Wellington,

Training for Persons W?o Desire
To Go On Stage Or Into Pictures
Says , United ' Stale Not 'Theater Conscious' Like
Other Countries; Expresses Preference for
Acting on Stage and in Silent Films.
By BERENEICE HOFFMAN.
Young persons with stage ambitions were .ihise1 to study
in some rollepe or university before attempting to make the
theater their life work, by Rod. LaRoeque. famous motion pic
t'lire star and'actor. who. with his wife, Vilma Hanky, appeared
here Thursday and Friday in a stage produetion, "Cherries
Are Ripe."
"The stage needs many direc
tors, actors, and artists," he de
clared, "and ILey must be well
trained. Colleges offer the best
sort of preliminary training for
this work. Get every bit of educa
tion you can.".
The star was interviewed Friday
afternoon in his dressing room as
he applied his makeup for the aft
ernoon .performance. His wife ac
quiesced with the words of her
husband. The slight accent with
which she spoke was natural, and
added to her loveliness. Her
sparkling eyes and soft blonde
hair were her most noticeable fea
tures. Play Is Old On.
"Our play, "Cherries Are Ripe,'
was written long ago by Anita
Loos and John Emerson with no
particular thought of us," smiled
Miss Banky, . when asked if it had
been written for she and her hus
band. "We liked it very much and
have greatly enjoyed playing it."
In explanation of the apparent
lack of interest in the theater in
some parts of the United States
Mr. LaRoque declared that the
public is not "theater conscious"
as they are in Germany and
France where the theater is a na
tional institution. "In most por
tions of our country people are
starved for fine productions in the
theater," lamented Mr. LaRoque.

Dr. R. J. Pool, the chairman of
the botany department of the Uni

which is the capital of New Zea
land. Gilman likens it to San
Francisco. The people call it
"Windy Wellington" which corre
sponds to the windy city on Lake
Michigan.
The young adventurer was per
plexed by the English coinage sys
tem. Pounds, shillings, sixpence,
thruppence, crowns, bobs, etc., are
far from being easily compre
hended. ' Everything was com
pletely different. The traffic al
ways keeps to the left, and cross
ing intersections is exceedingly
precarious. Baby Austins are
much in evidence, probably be
cause gas is 52 cents per gallon.
Gilman says he was much im
pressed by the number of open
saloons, which are called "pub,"
and by the fish stalls, tea rooms,
book shops, etc., which have prom

He highly commended the tech
nique and' craftsmanship of Amer
ican actors today when telling of
their ability to ' appear perfectly

Lives For Stage.
"I love the stage and fairly live
for it," exclaimed the star, "The
moment the curtain rises I can
sense the pulsation of the audi
ence. Immediately I can feci if I
should make them laugh, think,
cry or what not," explained Mr.
LaRoque as he demonstrated the
various effects by repeating the
first lines of the performance in
the varying fashions.
The star expressed a preference
for the theater, with no great en
thusiasm for the 'talkies,' which
he labeled as a poor imitation of
the theater. He showed partiality
also to the silent pictures with
their pantomime. His chief criti
cism of the 'talkies' was the in
ability of the actors to immedi
ately sense the audience and play
to them. "Some want speed and
some want pauses, and you can't
please all of them in a 'talkie' un
less you have played it before the
public," offered Mr. LaRoque.

In divulging their plans for the
future as he applied the last

W. A. A. ATTEMPTS TO
Miss M'Donald Asks More
Girls From Different
Groups to Enter.
SUGGESTIONS SOLICITED
In an attempt at expanding the
intramural movement to include
greater numbers of girls, a meet
ing of women's intramural repre
sentatives was held yesterday
noon.
Clarice McDonald, director of in
tramurals, explained the bowling
tournament and announced that an
elimination tournament to deter
mine the sport winner will be held
after Christmas vacation between
winners of the leagues. Nebraska
ball tourney will be ended by
Christmas, according to her an
nouncement, and basketball and
ping pong tournaments will begin
after the holidays.
Increased This Year.
"The number of girls out for
sports shows a double increase
over the record of previous years."
said Miss McDonald, "but we are
appealing to each representative to
have each girl in her group out for
at least one sport. The problem
we are confronting now," she con
tinued, "is that the same girls are
coming out for every sport. I wish j
I might impress upon the minds of ,
the representatives, who in turn
might bring pressure to bear upon
their groups, that it is not only the ,
underclass women whom we want j
to participate in the sports pro-;
gram, but everyone." j
Plans Vary. ,
Dorothy Weaver called for eug- I
gestions from representatives on
how to get girls interested in
sports. Some said that the group j
has a requirement that each girl
go out for two sports during the
year; others reported that their
freshmen were required to go out
for each sport; others said that
prizes were offered for the girl who
accumulated the most points by
reason of her participation in a
certain number.
With the entrance of a Kappa
Beta basketball team, the intra
mural organization has expanded
now to include all the organized
church groups within its bounds.
A report on the W. A. A. stunt
for the Cornhusker party, a mo
tion to sell concessions at the bas
ketball games, and a discussion of
redecoration of the W. A. A. club
room concluded the meeting.

DORMITORY PLAN
IS OPPOSED BY
BARB STUDENTS
Nonfraternity Men Fearful
Of Being Curbed by
House Rules.
THREE FAVOR PROGRAM
Thomas Believes Structures
Wjll Aid Non-Greeks
Politically.
An inquiry made yesterday in
dicated thst many barbs are op
posed to dormitory building. Out
of twenty non-fraternity men
interviewed but three favored the
plan. George Thomas '33, Ne
braska City, who is enrolled in
the school of journalism favors
the plan because he believed it
would make it. easier for the barbs
to organize politically.
George Dunn, a sophomore in
the school of journalism from
Omaha, also, favors dormitories,
providing the same rules are ap
plied to upperclassmen as are now
enforced in fraternities. Aaron
Niebaum, Nickerson. a sophomore
in the college of agriculture
stated thst he believed the plan
was a good one.
Many Opposed.
All other barbs interviewer1 "vere
opposed to the plan. The reason
most of them, gave was that they
believed dormitory regulations
would infringe upon t- present
state of independence. John C.
Cantral. senior in the college of
engineering from Fullerton, de
clared he was very much opposed
to dormitories. His reason was
that he would not care to have
his life regulated by dormitory
rules.
James Fulton, Hebron, a sopho
more in the college of business ad
ministration declared. "I think
dormitory building is the most idi
otic scheme the university has yet
conceived." His reasons for oppos
ing dormitories were that he did
not like the idea of being governed
by rules and he was perfectly sat
isfied with conditions as they now
are.
Fears Hardship.
John Sullivan, Roca, a junior in
arts and science college tpposes
the policy of dormitory building.
"I'm decidedly against any plan
which might limit the present lib
erties of barbs," he emphatically
declared. He also said that he had
worked for his room and he be
lieved any regulation requiring
students to live in dormitories
would work a hardship upon many
students.
William Walker, of Florence,
Colo., another arts and science
junior opposes dormitories for the
