McCleery Explains Project
at Meeting Yesterday;
Emphasizes Purity.
Forty more applicants for work
on the Awgwan bad added their
names last night to the original
list of twenty-five making a total
of sixty-five who have signed up
to help produce the revived comic
sheet
Seventy-five persons, counting
Sigma Delta Chi members who are
sponsoring the first issue of the
magazine, were present at a meet
ing in University hall yesterday
afternoon. Bill McCleery, editorial
supervisor from Sigma Delta Chi,
presided and gave a brief descrip
tion of the kind of material wanted
for the book.
Stresses Purity.
McCleery stressed the point of
purity and said everything in the
magazine must be kept clean. He
said there was a possibility that
the first number would even De
labeled the Purity Issue. If not
that, it may be dubbed a Come
back number, or something sug
gestive of the reinstatement, ac
cording to McCleery.
A large amount of short jokes,
poetry, and a few short stories will
be needed for the publication, Mc
Cleery said. He explained that one
of the purposes of calling the
meeting yesterday was to give
students an idea of what to do so
they could busy themselves with
the project over vacation.

Wilde nay Brings uui
Good Audiences.
Lare-a and appreciative audi
ences are witnessing the Univer
sity Players current proaucuon,
"Th Tmnnrtance of Beinsr Earn
est." The play is an amusing
satire on society, written by Oscar
Harlan Easton as the country
gentleman who is an example of
perfection for the benefit of his
ward, Cecily, in the country, and a
gay philanderer in town, does a
fine piece of work. Easton, who
has had numerous parts in univer
sity plays, will be remembered as
the father in "Honaay, iust
sentation of the Players.
Betty Evans, as the young lady
with whom Easton as John Worth
ing is quite madly in love, acts tbe
spoiled daughter of wealthy, par
ents very well, and gives her part
of the delightful nonsense in the
first act with good stage presence.
Plays Cecily.
Charlotte Wells plays Cecily, the
ward of John Worthing, with en
thusiasm and a naive air that is
effective. Leland Bennett as the
gay companion of Worthing, . is
clever and provides a lot of the
comedy. . ,
Janie Lehnoff plays the part of
the mother who is very particular
about the young man whom her
daughter marries and who Is not
too impressed with John Worthing.
Miss Lehnoff creates a typical

The rest of the cast supports
well, and the play Is a good piece
of work. The last act of the play
is very unusual. The symmetry is
rather like a takeoff on an Egyp

ture. The idea of presenting the

'Hesperian Student' of 1875 Is
Father of Journalistic Organs
Here; Contained Dull Material
Publication Took Place of All Present Works; Was
Composed of Four Small Sheets; First Issue
Dealt With 'Where Man Comes From.'
By REX WAGNER.
Back in 1875 the University of Nebraska got along very
well without a a Awgwan. Indeed many of the frivolities found
on the campus at present were absent, including the Corn
husker, Daily Nebraskan and Prairie Schooner. At that time
a little yellow 6heet known as The Hesperian Student was put
out as the official university organ and served the combined
j , -
functions now penonneu oy xucy
Daily Nebraskan, Cornhusker and
Prairie Schooner as weu as ine
Awgwan.
The four flimsy sheets, about a
foot by a foot and a half in dimen
sions, have the distinction of being
the father of all the present uni
versity publications, including the
Cornhusker Countryman and the
Blue Print as well as those men
tioned above.

The Hesperian Student may be

Student Project.
PROBLEM OF FINANCE
Fee at Registration Idea
Is Considered as Way
To Get Funds.
In consideration of the Univer
sity of Nebraska's lack of swim
ming and club facilities a commit
tee was appointed to investigate
the possibilities for construction of
a Student Union building, at the
Wednesday meeting of the Student
council.
President Robert Kelly appointed
a committee consisting of Kath
erine Williams, chairman, Edwin
Faulkner, Gretchen Fee, and Mar
vin Von Seggern to confer with
various members of the faculty and
student organizations as to the
chances of such a building being
launched as a student project.
Need Expressed.
Need for a recreational center of
some sort such as the union build
ings at Kansas, Ames, Iowa and
other Big Six schools has been ex
pressed intermittently by both fac
ulty and student representatives.
The complete lack of swimming
facilities and the disorganized sys
tem of apportioning meeting roonrs
for such campus organizations as
the Interfraternity council, Pan
hellenic association, Kosmet Klub,
Innocents society, and Student
council has aided in stirring up
sentiment for a concentrated recre
ational, social, and activity center
such as a Student Union building
would provide.
It was suggested by members of
the council that faculty and stu
dent representatives who plan to
attend group or professional meet
ings at other universities during
the holidays be delegated to inves
tigate student recreation systems
at other schools. This would in

CLUB ELECTS HEADS
David Fellman Is Chosen
President of New
Society.
At its first meeting, the newly
organized club of graduate stud

officers Tuesday night. David
Fellman of the political science
department was chosen president;
Albert Lightbody, chemistry, first
vice-president; Mrs. Ruth Pike, so
ciology, second vice president;
June Hill, English, secretary; and
Herbert Kahler, treasurer.
Louise Mitchell and Mrs. Har
riett Tvrdick were placed in charge
of programs.
The meeting was in the form of
a dinner which took place at the
Annex cafe with 150 students
present. After the dinner, Dean
Fred Upson of the graduate col
lege spoke. William F. Thompson
gave a monologue and Mrs. Tvr
dick led songs with Ed Hoyt at
the piano. Eugene Robb presided.
The next meeting will be a dance
to be given early in January.
Kappa Phi Christmas
Meeting Is Planned
Kappa Phi, Methodist sorority,
will hold its Christmas program
meeting Thursday evening from
seven to eight at Emmanuel
church. Each girl is bringing a
guest.
The program will consist of a
play, "Nativity" under the direc
tion of Hazel Beechner, singing by
the choir under the direction of
Marjorie Foreman, responsive
readings of Christmas stories,
choral singing and the traditional
lighting of the "little light" in
holly wreath.

Contents Uninteresting.
Practically all of the first issue
is devoted to a treatise entitled,
"Where Man Comes From." If one
taken the time and trouble to wade
through its long dull paragraphs of
laborious sentences and involved
phrases, he is still at as much of a
loss when it comes to determining
the origin of man as he was before
he read the dissertation.

Gathered at Library.
FIRST TRY0UTS JAN. 15
Students who expect to try out
for the intercollegiate debating
teams for the second semester will
have an opportunity to choose be
tween two subjects, "Unemploy

Tentative Plans Completed.
Tentative plans have been com

three universities, however, are at
present ' Arranging debate trips
through Lincoln, and they will be
offered dates as soon as their
plans are mature. Some of the de
bates now scheduled for Lincoln
will be held before nearby high
schools, such as Plattsmouth, Cen
tral of Omaha, or before some of
the Lincoln clubs.
Last year eight of the nineteen
debates were taken off the campus
to clubs or to high schools in the
vicinity. Return engagements for
all these places have been re
quested for this season. The teams
will again debate over KFNF, at
Shenandoah. Last season more
than 300 votes were received after

Students from universities and
colleges throughout the country

Christmas holidays have been In
vited to Omaha's biggest party,
"The Yuletide Frolic," Dec. 19, at

An array of local and imported

Many Headlinerc.
Among the headliners are Har

Education Is Needed
to Reduce Accidents,
Says Dr. A. R. Lauer
AMES, la, "Familiarity breeds
contempt" is as true of automobile
drivers and pedestrians as it is of
other individuals, says Dr. A. R.
Lauer, associate professor of psy
chology at Iowa State college.
The above is merely a short way
of saying that the longer a driver
slips by a dangerous corner or
school at high speed without acci
dent, or the cftsner he r asses a
car going up a hill without crash
ing into another car, the more
careless he gets, according to the
doctor.
Education of drivers and pedes
trians rather than guards and
safety devices will eventually re
duce the number of traffic acci
dents to a minimum, says Dr.
Lauer. Studies have indicated that
safety devices eliminate only about
20 percent of accidents.

Mr. Robinson, now employed by

canal is electrically lighted from
end to end, the bridges are oper
ated with electric motors, and it is
the most completely electrified of
any in the world.
