COUNCIL DECIDES
BOARD
VACANCY
CAN BE FILLED
Appointment to Be Made to
Governing Group of
Publications.
CONSIDER ADVERTISING
Matter of Moral Effects
On College Students Is
Discussed.
Student council members, meet
ing In regular session yesterday
afternoon, decided that the ap
pointment of a senior man to fill
the publication board vacancy wan
clearly within their jurisdiction. A
election will be made at the next
meeting, Wednesday, March 18.
Debate and action on the en
forcement provision which is pro
posed as an amendment to the new
constitution was dropped due to
the necessary absence of Fred
Grau, senior councillor who intro
duced the bill. A committee was
appointed to Investigate public
opinion in order to determine what
advertising might be acceptable
for student publications.
There was some question on the
part of one or two council mem
bers as to whether the student
council had the authority to fill
a publication board vacancy solely
by Its own action. The general
consensus was that the council did
have that authority and would
take the liberty of setting a pre-i
cedent ai. the next meeting by ap
pointing a new publication board
member.
Walker Recommends.
As explained by Robert Kelly,
E resident of the council, that body
ad jurisdiction over publication
board vacancies because it spon
sored the election it which this
man was elected and was also
supposed to supervise student ac
tivities. It was pointed out by
President Kelly that Gayle Walker,
chairman of the publication board,
had recommended that the student
council assume this authority.
Bill McGaffin and Edwin Faulk
ner, junior counc.ilmen, expressed
harmonious opinions with Kelly.
They both believed that the coun
cil was absolutely justified in' tak
ing this action, esoecially since a
student election solely for this pur
pose was not feasible. It was rec
ommended that the group take no
hasty action on the appointment
since they desired to make a
choice which would reflect favor
abJy on their judgment as a stu
dent governing group. For that
reason it was decided to wait un
til the next meeting before voting
on nominees.
Discuss Advertising.
The matter of advertising for
student publications on this cam
pus was also a subject of discus
sion. The issue was centered
largely around the possible effect
which different types of advertis
ing had on college morals. It was
decided that a special committee
should be delegated to investigate
popular sentiment here on the
campus, In Lincoln, and over the
Btate, in order that new sugges
tions might be made to faculty
authorities.
Representatives of student pub
lications have complained that up
wards from seventy-five to one
hundred dollars monthly is made
unavailable as advertising revenue
because of certain existing restric
tions. They have asked the Stu
dent council to see whether any
changes in these restrictive rulings
are possible.
Should Be Aided.
Council members were practic
ally unanimous in the opinion that
publications should be aided, pro
vided such aid would not exceed
the bounds of propriety. If the
special committee, of which Lorenz
Hopfer is chairman, Bill McGaffin
and Ruth Jenkins are members,
reports that public opinion seems
to Indicate that a moderating of
restrictions would not reflect un
favorable upon the university, the
council will undoubtedly appeal to
the administration for changes.
A resolution was passed by the
council which expressed the groups
sympathy to Fred Grau for the
loss of his mother and a floral of
fering is to be sent to Bennington.
The next meeting, on Wednes
day two weeks hence, will be given
over to the publication board ap
pointment, the constitution pro
posal, and a Prom committee report.

METHODIST GROUP
ABOUT RELIGION
Frank D. Troop, -of the- Lincoln
Star, addressed some fifty Phi
Tau Theta members and guests
at Wesley hall Tuesday evening
at the regular monthly business
meeting of the group. His subject
was, "Religion as the newspaper
man sees it."
Mr. Troop told of his personal
experiences in the newspaper
business during the past thirty
years. "In that time people have
come to regard the newspaper as
one of the three educational in
stitutions of the world, ranking
with the churches and schools," he
declared.
Peter Van Fleet, a member of
the Nebraska legislature, also was
present at the meeting, and made
a number of remarks. He was
called upon by the Rev. W. C.
Fawell to make the introductory
remarks of the evening.
The next Phi Tau Teta meet
ing will be held Tuesday evening,
when the group will take up busi
ness matters.

tossed George Kogut of Chicago in
a grappling show in Sioux City,
Iowa, Monday night Richards

shortly before Christmas.
with 24,000 men students and 5,000
women students.
German, French, and Latin are
easy to learn compared with Chi
nese. Mr. Hoover continues, "We
are almost paralyzed at times by
the realization of the vast number
of Chinese words which sound
alike to us and yet have as widely
separated meanings as 'sleep' and
'study,' or 'wife' and 'chicken.' We
find that a sound which is roman
lzed 'chl' has forty-two different
meanings according to the pitch of
voice and the connection In the
sentence.
Again Mr. Hoover mentions the
characteristic aspect of a group at
a student conference. "The stu
dents," he says, "have a great way
sitting in a big circle, munching
melon seeds and chestnuts, and the
informal psriods are sparsed with
much whole hearted laughter."

BY LEONARD L. CASTLE.
Another one of the few colleges
of the university which does not
need any more building room is
the dental college which is now lo
cated in the third floor of the An
drews hall. According to Dean G.
A. Grubb, the college is very amply
fixed for room, but does need a few
other improvements.
One of the outstanding needs of
the college is the need for an im
proved library. The library is very
inadequate for the present use af
forded it, and a large sum of
money is needed to improve it to
the proper point. Part of the li
brary Is now located in the botani
cal library of Bessey hall and the
remainder is in Andrews hall.
The first thing that should be
done is to collect all the periodi
cals and bind them in order to keep
them up to date, according to Dean
Grubb. The expense of improving
the library will be enormous be
cause of the reprints that will be
necessary. For this reason, Dean
Grubb does not believe that the
dental college will ever be able to

that a chance will be given talent
for trying out Reviewing of both
principals and pony chorus appli
cants will be held in room 203 of
the Temple at 8:30 tonight. Pre
vious time of tryout was given as
8:00, but due to unforseen diffi
culties . it has been necessary to
move the time up a half hour.
According to Miller, those try
ing out for speaking parts should
bring something familiar to them
for reading so as to aid the cast
ing directors in judging. Material
for a feminine lead and the pony
chorus is especiall desired, accord
ing to the show director.
Complete cast of "High and
Dry" will probably be announced
the last of this week. Rehearsals
will get under way immediately
following the completion of the

beginning April 20. Upon its re
turn, the show will be presented
for a week end in Lincoln.

Need Equipment.
A large amount of general den
tal equipment is also needed. This
Includes display cases for-teachlng
material and instruments for the
students to work with. The need
for this equipment is due to the
fact that when the college was
moved into Andrews hall the up
per classes were small and the low
er classes were Urges. Equipment
was bought just for the upper
classes, so there is a shortage now.
Dean Grubb estimated that about
$10,000 would be necessary to buy
the new display cases and equip
ment. The dental college was organized
in 1899 under private ownership,
being known as the Lincoln Den
tal college. It was owned by W.
Clyde Davis. The college was lo
cated in the Nebraska State bank
building at 15th and O streets un
til 1913 when it was moved to the
third and fourth stories of the Lib
erty theater building. The univer
sity was associated with the col
lege in that the preparatory work
was given in the university and the
finishing work in the regular col
lege.

BY E0SELINE PEER.
It's Monday night at 7:50 in the Temple theater, March-9,
1931, but you'd never know it. The curtain with the iUustra
tion on it depicting the "Sins of Intemperance" has just been
jerkily and laboriously rolled up, and the heroine enters to. the
soft strains of sympathetic nmsie (they had thne songs way
baek in 1850). The audience applauds vigorously and then
settles down to munch pop corn
until the villain enters amid boos
and hisses of the expressive crowd
and atmospheric music of the deep
est black. How did they know the
villain you can't miss him. He
has the mustache and all of the
other characteristic ear marks.
University Playera are present
ing their next show, "Fashion" in
the manner In which it was given
the first time In 1851. The lights
are a bit faint because candles are
being used for footlights, and the
scenery looks rather strange. Part
of the furniture is painted on the i
walls an old theater custom.
"Fashion" is one of the first
satires ever written on American
life and society. It is the story of
