Chancellor Discounts Idea

LAW BANS ALTERATION
Redistrict Measure Takes
Effect Only on U. S.
Congressmen.
State reapportionment decreas
ing the number of congressional
districts from six to five, and from
each of which one regent has been
elected, will not effect the num
ber or method of election of the
University regents, state Chan
cellor Burnett in an interview yes
terday. The Chancellor pointed out that
a clause in the state constitution
specified that there shall be six
regents.
Prior to 1920 the regents like
the supreme court judges were
elected at large. Since it was co
incidental that the number of reg
ents were equal to the congres
sional districts, (a bill was passed
by the state legislature that one
regent should be elected from each
districtt.
One Less District.
'The reapportionment which will
give the state one less district for
United States representatives has
at present no bearing upon the
number of tegents, and they will
piobably be elected as before, from
the same districts. Chancellor Bur
nett said.

REGEN
ELECTION
political science, suggested that
there would probably be a revision
of the old congressional districts
for the purpose of electing the reg
ents and supreme court judges.
"Nebraska has continued for
nearly forty years without a re
vision of districts and there is now
a difference of over 70,000 in pop
ulation between some of the dis
tricts," he stated.
Professor Aylsworth is of the
.opinion that the legislature will
, redi3trict the state for the election
of regents and supreme court
judges nd it will have to change
the congressional districts.

ROLE PORTRAYAL
Will Study Interpretation of
Part As Played By
Mrs. Fiske.
AUTHOR IS INTERESTED
"Ladies of the Jury" Will
Be Presented Week
Of Feb. 2.
Miss H. Alice Howell who will
play the lead in the University
Player's production of "Ladies of
the Jury ' will be in Chicago for
several tutys for the purpose of
seeing Mrs. Fiske in the same play
and getting information on the
professional production of the
play.
Fred Ballard, author or tne
play and a graduate of the Uni
versity or Nebraska, is greatly in
terested in seeing his play pro
duced at his Alma Mater and has
written Miss Howell. He has also
written to Mrs. Fiske in Chicago,
Miss Howell said, and she and Miss
Howell will meet and discuss the
play. Miss Howell expecU to bring
back ideas and suggestions for the
presentation of the play here.
Play is Comic.
"Ladies of the Jury" which is
probably the most successful of
Mr. Ballard's plays, is the story of
a young actress who is accused of
the murder of her millionaire hus
band. The first act of the play is
in the court room. The jurors are
sworn in. Among the six women,
Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane, a
prominent society woman ac
quainted socially with the judge,
is a member of the jury.
Mrs. Crane is really interested
in giving the girl a fair trial, and
she doesn't know and doesn't care
about rules of court or anything
else. -When she feels like asking a
question, she asks it. The last two
acts are in the jury room and are
even funnier than the first. Three
long days and three nights, the no
ble Mrs. Crane argues, reasons,
bribes until the decision "Not
Guilty" is unanimous.
The play is a comedy of the
first class and has been a signal
success in New York and Chicago.
University Players will present
"Ladies of the Jury" at the Tem
ple theater Feb. 2 and it will be
continued throughout the week.
BUTLER EXPRESSES
Declares Only Eight Real
Universities Exist in
This Country.
That there were only about
eight real universities in the
United States was the view re
cently expressed by Pr. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Col
lumbia university.
"It is difficult, as time goes on,
to get any straight thinking on
higher education and the college
and universities." he told the asso
ciate alumnae of Barnard college
during their annual luncheon at
the Hotel Pennsylvania. "There is
more non-sense expressed on these
subjects than on any others, ex
cept perhaps the tariff and war
debts."
Educational Terms Nonsense.
He said that this "nonsense"
arose largely from the university.
While New York and Pennsyl
vania protect the name college,"
he added, it is possible almost any
where else to have a "College of
Horseshoeing" if one desires. And
the word "university," he said, U
not protected at all.
"There must be several hundred
universities listed in the World Al
manac." he continued. There are,
as a matter of fact, in the United
States about eight universities.
There are eight more which have
a university aspect and a univer
sity standard for a part of their
activities."
Because these terms bad no
fixed, precise content, he said, and

Tells History of University
Chemistry Department
Started in 1877.
LAB IS WORTH $250,000
"A Look Around at Nebraska-'
is the title of an article by H. G.
Deming, professor of chemistry,
which appears in the January is
sue of Tbe Chemical Bulletin a
monthly magazine published by
the Chicago section of the Ameri
can Chemical society.
Chemistry was organized as a
separate department at the Uni
versity of Nebraska in 1887, Dr.
Deming states. He reviews the
work of the four men who have
been in charge of the chemistry
department since 1887. All four of
the men are still living.
The men who have been in
charge of the department and
years of activity for each follow:
H. H. Nicholson, 1887-1905: Sam
uel Avery. 1905-1908: Benton
Dales, 1909-1918; Fred W. Upson,
1918.
Have Fine Laboratory.
The present laboratory cost
about $250,000 and is one of the
finest devoted to the teaching of
chemistry in the middle west.
There are tour stories, including
the basement, devoted to labora
tories and classrooms, and a sub
basement for storage. Glassware
and chemical supplies for the en
tire university are dispensed from
an office in the basement, not un
der the direct control of the de
partment of chsmistry, Dr. Dem
ing writes.
A synopsis of the work carried
on by the department is reviewed
bv the writer in which he shows
the courses given to the beginning
freshman, the sophomore, junior
and senior. He comments on the
courses of each of the instructors
in the department, giving a per
sonal insight into the character,
traits, and abilities of each individ
ual. .
As a summary the doctor tells
of the graduates from the depart
ment, their numbers and present
fields of work. Among the stu
dents who have taken post-graJu-ate
work since 1918, he finds that
24 are teaching in universities and
colleges. There are twelve work
ing elsewhere for their Ph. D. A
like number is in the petroleum
industry. There are nine engaged
in some phase of organic research.
Six or seven are working in the
soap, dye, and such allied indus
tries. The civil service of the
United States has claimed five.
Others are teaching !n high
schools, and two are practicing
physicians.
Diers Says Radio Stations Must
Offer' Good Programs Or Go Off
Air; Tells Details Of New Class
BY HOWARD ALLAWAY.
"fiaiiio is now reaching the point where it is tbe quality of
program which a station broadcasts which determines its right
to the air," commented Theodore iJiers, director of the univer
sity radio programs of KFAB. yesterday, jn explaining the pur
pose of the course in radio broadcasting which he will teach
next semester.
Stations are becoming so numer-O
ous that there is keen competition
for their right to broadcast, ac
cording to Mr. Diers. The federal
radio commission has revoked or
suspended licenses of some stations
because of the inferior type of pro
garm which they have been broad
casting. There is a demand for
men with a knowledge of the tech
nicalities of broadcasting and the
desires of the radio public. Tbe
course will be devoted to the devel
opment of men capable of meeting
this need.
Has Varied Aims.
The course Is not primarily one
for future radio announcers, says
Mr. Diers. All the aspects of an
nouncing, program building, the
desires of the radio listeners, and
the position of the radio as a pub
lic servant will be studied.
As a public servant the radio
will be examined as an entertainer,
educator, and advertising medium.
'Any man in public life may be
called upon at any time to speak
before the microphone," asserted
Mr. Diers in stressing the growing
importance of the radio as a means
of communication.
Will Study Announcing.
The natural ability, voice, and
preparation required for a radio
announcer will be inveetlgated.
Public likes and dislikes in pro
grams and the position of the an
nouncer as an entertainer, master
of ceremonies or mere headline to
the program will be taken up in
this part of the course.
Some time will be devoted to tbe
sjudy of music and to the lives.
