'FASHION' AS A
A Laughable Comedy Is the
Description Given to
Current Play.
PRODUCED IN NEW YORK
Represents Old Struggle
Of Youth and Love
Against Money.
BY WILLIAM T. M'CLEERY
Showing: the difficulties of ach
ieving ocial prestige without a
proper foundation making- a silk
purse out of a sow's ear the Uni
versity Players will offer "Fash
ion," by Anna Cora Mowatt, dur
ing the week of March 9. This
play was first produced in Park
theater, New York City, in Mnreh,
.1845. Its performance in the
Temple theater next month will
mark its eighty-sixth anniversary.
Despite its apparent maturity,
''Fashion' is a laughable, true-to-society-of-1931
comedy. Sparkling
with clever lines, brimming with
melodramatio comedy, Miss Mow
att's early American play is ap
plicable to modern social prob
lems. When offered to its initial
audience in the old Park- theater,
Fashion" scored a hit. The Uni
versity players are counting on
an enthusiastic acceptance of this
playful comedy when it is offered
to Lincoln patrons next month.
Villain Scores Hit.
Like most early American
dramas, the current production
has dyed-in-the-wool villain in
the person of one Count Jolimatre,
a European imitation who scores
a decided hit with Mrs. Tiffany,
the social climber . It is Mrs. Tif
fany's fervent hope to marry her
charming daughter to the dark,
mysterious foreigner, but the
daughter has ideas of her own.
"Mrs. Tiffany," explained Miss
Alice Howell, director of the Uni
versity Players, in describing the
forthcoming: play." "is an Anglo
maniac. She tries to imitate ev-

Spelling Is Essential to Everyone
Professor Weseen Says in Article
BY WARRALENE LEE.
"Inability to spell, while it is a
oandicap to one person may prove
to be a boon to another, as it did
when the newly promoted officer
said to the unruly private, It's a
lucky thing for you that I can't
spell insubordination or I'd have
you run in. "
This was one of the illustrations
in an article. "What Words do
You Misspell? Here's Way to
Correct Them," written by Maur
ice H. Weseen, associate professor
of business English. This article
appeared in last Sunday's Omaha
World-Herald. Mr. Weseen is the
author of "Dictionary of English
Grammar and Handbook of Amer
ican Usage" and "Everyday Use
of English."
"Spelling is essential to eveiy
one," he says in the article. "If
you are not now employed in some
business, yju are probably prepar
ing for it and accuracy in spelling
is necessary in business especially.
The person who is not actively en
gaged in business must frequently
write personal letters, in which a
certain degree of accuracy is de
sired. "Recently a questionnaire was
sent from a business school to a
number of employers asking them
to list the most important subjects
that should be studied in preparing
for business positions. These em
ployers in their replies placed
spefilrj at the head of their lists
of essential subjects.

COVER DESIGN IS PICKED
A request for additional editor
ial contributions for the March

yesterday afternoon by Robert
Kelly, newly elected editor of the
magazine. All copy for the March
Issue must be in Friday although
material received after thai will
be considered for the next issue.
The temporary Awgwan office is
in the business office of The Daily
Nebraskan.
"Short jokes and humorous ar
ticles on campus events are needed
for the March issue." Kelly
stated. "We are especially desir
ous that contributions have a
touch of 'local color.' Short articles
satirizing humorously local insti
tutions or customs will receive spe
cial consideration."
Students who want to get as
signments for Awgwan work may
call at the Awgwan office any
afternoon.
The cover for the March issue
has been selected and is now being
printed. Suggestions for the cover
for the April issue will be received

necessary that the cover be se
lected a month before the date of
publication.

"Some people are naturally bet
Iter sDellers than others, as some
people are better golfers than
others. By declaring that they
are poor spellers some believe
they are excused. Underestimat
ing their ability does help them in
improving. Time and concentra
tion spent in mastering words of
ten misspelled will reward the per
son. "Since spelling is a personal dif
ficulty, the person must formulate
his own system for correcting his
mistakes in spelling. By making
a list of words that one always
misspells and a list of words that
one misspells if he does not refer
to a dictionary, a person confronts
his mistakes and is apt to give
thought.
Because English is not phonetic,
it is more difficult to spell accord
ing to the sound of the word.
Some words are more troublesome
than others, since some sounds are
emitted in pronunciation.
"Spelling matches should be ad
vocated because- they stimulate
competition and set a standard for
the poorer spellers to attain. We
have "Safety Week," "Health
Week," "Clean-Up Week" and ev

need most.
When your mistakes are once

MAY DISMISS CLASSES
Students Are Encouraged
To Attend Sessions of
Gatherings.
Approximately 250 engineer
have answered the .statewide call
issued in the names of the engi
neers' clubs of Omaha, Grand Is
land. Lincoln, and the college of
engineering of the university and
will register today for the first
"Nebraska engineers' . roundup,"
according to O. J. Ferguson, dean
of engineering college. The round
up has been planned to create a
fraternal feeling among engineers.
Dean Ferguson has instructed
engineering professors to excuse
upperclass engineers so that they
may attend the sessions, according
to each individual instructor's
judgment.
"Arrangements have been made
to let all Instructors determine
whether they wish to dismiss
classes, for they can best deter
mine the effect of an interruption
to their work," Dean Ferguson
said.
Students may register today
without paying fees. They are in
vited to join the state engineers
at the luncheon and at the dinner.
The price of the luncheon is 50
cents and dinner is $1.25.
Fraternal Feeling Sought.
"The Significance of Engineer
ing to Nebraska" is the nucleus
around which all features oi the
program will be centered. "This
project is planned," said Dean
Ferguson, "for the specific pur
poses of giving us engineers a
feeling of fraternity and of show

MAY GO ON ROAD TRIP
Pony chorus for Kosmet Klub's
"High and Dry" will hold the cen
ter of the stage in Temple 205 to
night at 7:30. Twelve men with
dancing ability are needed for this
year's show. According to club
members, the pony chorus is one
of the most important units of the
whole show. This year's chorus
will be groomed into one of the
special features, club members
say, through help from a well
known Lincoln dancing instructor.
Tryouts for principal characters
were held last night in the Tem
ple and will be given again tomor
row night at 7:30. The tryouts
this week are a resume of the in
itial ones rld Friday and Satur
day of last week.
Although definite consent has
not yet ben obtained, the club
exDects to take "High and Dry"
on a week's road trip through Ne
braska during spring vacation.
Members of the club report that
talent reviewed so far is much bet
ter than that used in any previ
ous show for several years back.
They account for part of this be
cause of the attraction of a road
trip, and partly because of the re
turn to the novel feature of using
an all male cast.
Last year's comedy "Sob Sis
ter" was produced with an all
male cast and showed for two
nights in Lincoln.

Gammill Sounds Warning
To All Organizations
Wanting Space.
FRIDAY ISFINAL DATE
A final note of warning to cam
pus organizations who wish pic
ture sections in the 1931 Comhus
ker was sounded yesterday by
Kenneth Gammill. editor.
"Several sections of the new
yearbook have already gone to
press," he explained, "and it Is
absolutely imperative that all
group pictures be taken by Friday
if they are to go in this year's
book. We urge that those groups
who have not yet had organization
pictures taken make arrangements
at the campus studio immediately."
The book orders have been
placed, according to Ed Edmonds,
business manager of the annual,
and only the number which have
already been settled for will be
available this spring.
In addition Edmonds reported
that it is necessary for those or
ganizations who have already
taken pictures for Cornhusker sec
tions to pay their bills or make
arrangements for payment Many
pictures, he pointed out, have been
developed and placed on panels
but are being held out until fi
nancial provisions are made. There
are also a few delinquent install
ments for those who bought year
books on the payment plan. These
must be settled for at once.
Fraternities and sororities wish
ing a 1931 Cornhusker with the
name of their respective organi
zation engraved on its cover are
advised to call Gretchen Fee im
mediately and make arrangements.

in the Omaha production.
Students Emphasize Belief That the
Industrial Conference Is of Value
Student leaders on Nebraska's
campus Tuesday emphasized the
value of the industrial conference
which will be held here this week
end under the auspices of the Y.
M. and Y. W. C. A. organizations
of the university.
Powers Hapgood of the Colum
bia Conserve company, who has
worked with the laboring men all
over the United States, will be
chief speaker at the conference.
He will give his ideas of the causes
and cures of unemployment.
Karl Borders, executive secre
tary of the League of Industrial
Democracy also will speak at the
sessions, which will be held in Ellen
Smith hall.
Among those who emphasized
the value of the conference was
William T. McCleery, former edi
tor of The Daily Nebraskan and
president of the Innocents society.
McCleery said, "Since the prob
lems surrounding the present un
employment situation are of actual
economic importance, I believe
that any attempt to study and
solve such a condition should be of
interest to university students. The
industrial conference, I believe will
help to acquaint students with im
portant problems about which they
learn something but not much
in the classroom."
Conference is Fine Idea.
Heltn McAnulty, president of
the Y. W. C. A., declared, "The
industrial conference is, in my
mind, an extremely fine idea. It is

and forward for Nebraska, broke
loose and dribbled his way down
the floor only to miss the basket
when fouled by an Aggie player.
Missing the first throw, Conklin
attempted to give the Huskers a
chance for a tip-in on the next
try, but the Kaggies got the ball
as' the gun went off.
Maclay was the sUr for tha
Huskers, his sharpshooting in the
second half being a major factor
in Nebraska's comeback. His work
on the tip-off at center was also
good. He kept fairly consistent
control of the ball from that point
He was high point man for Ne

Cadet Colonel of Nebraska

Slim Chance to Live
0PERATED0NWEEK AGO
Winston Behn, Omaha, fresh
man law student in the University
of Nebraska, was conceded only a
slight chance for life late last
night by his physician. Behn is in
a Lincoln hospital, where he un
derwent an operation for appendi
citis a week ago Monday.
His condition bad been good up
until Monday night, according to
his ,physician, Dr. Clayton F. An

student became worse then, and
continued to sink thruout the day.
Behn is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. Behn of Omaha. He is cadet
colonel of the Nebraska R. O. T.
C. regiment, and is a member of
Sigma Nu fraternity. His parents
are in the city, his mother having
been here thruout his entire jllness.
especially interesting that these
outstanding men will come so far
to discuss and try to solve the un
employment situation.
Robert Kelly, president of the
Student council, in speaking of the
conference, pointed out that stu
dents can become greatly agitated
over the winning of a football
game or a meaningless class elec
tion, but that they are amazingly
apathetic about affairs of real mo
ment. "I sincerely hope that the
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are
successful in stirring up interest
in this very timely and appropri
ate subject, "Our Economic Dilem
ma." Every student should con
sider it his duty to study and help
remedy our great social and eco
nomic problems," he said.
Conference Merits Interest.
EJear Backus, business mana
ger of the Awgwan and law stu
dent, also declared that the con
ference merits great interest oa
the part of students.
He said, "Although the" unem
ployment problem is less acute. in
Nebraska than In roost states, it
is nevertheless of such national
importance that it merits the at
tention which -can be given it in
such a conference. Since the whole
economic structure seems to be in
volved in the present depression,
there are many factors which can
be profitably studied. Such men
as Powers Hapgood understand
the situation far better than any
