NEW POWER MAY
BE
BY
STUDENT COUNCIL
Publication Board Member
May Be Appointed
By Group.
WILL HEAR PROM REPORT
Committee on Constitution
Places New Code in
Advisors Hands.
By THE OBSERVER
A new power will probably be
assumed by the Student council
when it meets this afternoon to
consider the appointment of a
senior publication board member
lo fill the place left vacant by
Cyril Winkler. This is the first
occasion the council has had to
take such action since it is the
only student vacancy on the pub
board since the council was organ
ized several years ago.
An itemised report of the activi
ties and expenditures of the Junior
Senior prom committee by Robert
Kinkaid. chairman, will occupy an
important place on the day's pro
gram of impending Student council
discussion. There is a possibility
that rampant argument may fol
low the prom committee's report,
provided certain council members
do not approve of it. Should a
deficit be revealed, however, it
would make no serious difference,
tor a sizeable balance has been
accrued in former years to take
care of any temporary prom defi
cits. There is a chance that the
prom committee may have failed
to make expenditures balance with
receipts, but such a monetary defi
ciency, if any, will be very slight.
Fullbrook Hat Code.
According to Edwin Faulkner,
chairman of the council's constitu
tion committee, the new Student
council code has again been turned
over to the sub-faculty committee
on student affairs which is headed
by Professor. Fullbrook. It was
originally turned over to that
group a few months ago but was
returned to the council with the
suggestion that slight alterations
be made if they would desire it to
be approved by the university
senate.
Since the constitution has been
returned it has been altered
materially. The biggest change
was the incorporation of a measure

'Yellow Window' Play Written by
Schweninger Is Tragedy Showing
Horrors and Privations of War
By MARVIN SCHMID.
War is a horrid, devastating, ravaging thing, which breaks
family tics and desolates communities 1
At least it is such as depicted in "Yelow Window, which
fells the story on 1 be utage of how a young man and his wife,
the young man's affectionate brother and mother are separated
and led to grief and tragedy by the young man, Francis,
enrolling in the French army at
the beginning of the World war;
Francis' desertion for the love ol
his wife; loss of boih bis wife and
brother by such action and as the
story continues it grows in spell
binding lines and heartrending
scenes. -And the. play ends how
do wars conclude?
"Yellow Window," written es
pecially for the dramatic club by
Ivan Schweninger Junior, is trag
edy comparable to Shakespeare's
"Macbeth" in its dreadfulness.
Schewlnger, member of Sigma
Upsllon, literary fraternity and of
the dramatic club, has written two
one-act plays before "Yellow Win
dow." They are "Last Month in
Dover" and "Clothes and Every
thing." He is also the author, of
several short stories. Upon his
graduation next year from the
college of fine arts, where he it
majoring in dramatics, he contem
plates going into the field of pro
fessional playwritlag.
The cast who will play Schwen
inger's show is as follows:
Francis Donald Crow.
Yola Dorothy "Weaver.
Andre Madison Shaw.
Louise Dorothy Zimmer.

tals yesterday for observation of
possible appendicitis, were re
ported about the same today.

Union is Assured.
(Just April Fool)
By Ann Onymous.
Ray Ramsay, alumni secretary,
came down to his office the other
afternoon and immediately took up
the telephone and called B1110.
"Here is your number,'' chirped
the operator.
"Hello, is this Bill McCleery?"
asked Ramsay. "I just thought I
would call and tell you that I think
we can go ahead with the Union
building project. A rich alumnus
of the university has guaranteed
to donate half a million dollars, if
the students and other alumni will
raise the other half."
"You can see how happy I am,"
the alumni secretary wat yoiv-'-b

new building to replace old "U"

Editor's Intimacy
With Blond Beauty
Surprise to Staff
BY A. PHOOL.
The first that the staff knew
about it was Blondie's first ap
pearance at the office. Nobody
had seen her before and nobody
knows how it all started. But
Blondie put in an appearance yes
terday.
Who wouldn't have gasped at
the sudden appearance of such a
blond? Her hair was that raw
gold color that you so seldom see
She had such a coy way of walk
ing that one s eye naturally loi
lowed her. Nobody could have de
nied that she was well built,
though her figure was not-sKaotly
girlish, An4 JvrvMjwerebxit,
friendly, : mamring. Newspaper or
flees are seldom frequented ty
such as her.
Yes, the staff gasped. But they
kept on gasping when she made
for the door of the editors onice
calmly, deliberately, and appar
ently knowing where she was go
ing. The editor did not seem sur
prised at her entrance. He placed
an affectionate hand on her gold
en head, and the office force
finished its gasp as she buried her
head in the editor's lap.
Not April fool necessarily.
Blondie is a dog.

Plan Big Affair.
Date for the All-University
party has been changed from Sat
urday, April 4 to Friday, April 10,
according to announcement made
by George Thomas, one of the
committee in charge, yesterday.
The change was made because of
complications in the coliseum,
Thomas said.
According to Thomas, the patty

one of the b:grgest advertising
campaigns ever used for any uni

that $500 will be spent on adver
tising. "This is going to be our big

"We are planning on spending
more money on this than any

Famous Notre Dame Mentor
Dies in Airplane Crash
in Kansas.
ENTIRE NATION MOURNS
'Greatest Loss Football
Has Ever Had' Says
Nebraska Coach.
By BRUCE NICOLL.
The whole nation is mourning
the sudden death of Knute Rockne,
famous football coach of Notre
Dame university who was killed
yesterday when a Transcontin
ental & Western Air passenger
and air mall plane crashed in a
pasture several miles southwest of
Bazar, Kas.
Rockne, probably the greatest
coach of all time, was a passenger
on the Western Air liner leaving
Kansas City at 9:10 a. m. Altho
Western Air officials said they
bore the same number NC-999,
the number found on the wrecked
craft's wings near Emporia, Kas.
The mentor is enshrined in the
hearts of everyone over the whole
nation for the clean sportsmanlike
attitude that he took in all sports,
and which he instilled into his un
defeated wonder teams. His loss
removes from the game its most
colorful figure.
Admired Huskers.
Rockne will be remembered at
Nebraska by all those who had the
pleasure of hi3 acquaintance. From
the time Rockne was made coach
at Notre Dame his fighting Irish
played Nebraska teams eight
times. He admired and regarded
Nebraska teams with the highest
praise.
"We all grieve his loss." said
Hebert D. Gish, director of ath
letics of the university. "Rockne
was not-only-the most colorful
coach in lhe country, but did more
to champion -the causes of the
coaches than any "other man. His
loss will naturally be felt most
deeply at Notre Dame, but inter
collegiate athletics will miss this
great figure, who has served as a
guiding hand for this organization
for many years."
Was Bible's Friend.
"It is the greatest los3 that foot
ball has had,"" were the words of
fOftna X:"Bibtehead-foibattl
of the university or rveorasKa,
who struck up a lasting friendship
with the Notre Dame wizard in
football competition and intercol
legiate football activities. "Rockne
was one of the greatest and influ
ential men in athletics. To him
goes the credit of starting the
movement for coaching schools.
"Rock" was always willing and
obliging to help" or see anyone at
anytime. He was energetic and
untiring in his efforts to fulfill all
requests. He was called upon to
do so many things that he turned
to the airplane in order to save
time... which resulted eventually
in his dsath. I consider it one of
my greatest pleasures to have had
the privilege of assiciating with
him and being one of his friends.

Group Organized for "Fun
And Frivolity' Holds
Ladies Night.
COMIC PROGRAM GIVEN
Ancient and honorable order of
yellow dogs held its annual ladies
night last night at the student ac
tivities building on the Agricul
tural campus. Nearly 450 were
present at the affair, which proved
to be the most successful ever
staged by the organization.
The order ot yellow dogs is a
national organization of which the
local chapter is Cornhusker Kennel
number 227. The organization was
founded by Theodore Roosevelt
while ho was president of the
United States. The story runs that
one day while Roosevelt was in the
midst of his administrative worries
he happened to see a pack of dogs
playing about in a carefree man
ner. He thereupon decidel to . or
ganize a group of people whose
sole purpose was to be gay ana
- 1 ..I
The" nature of the organization
then is to be based on fun, friend
ship and frivolity, fun being the
most potent factor. The member
ship to the body is open to every
one desiring these things. The
members of the local chapter
which was installed here nine years
ago, consists largely of faculty
members of the Agriculture Col
lege and many others who are in
various lines of work.
Dinner Given.
A luncheon dinner was served at
6:30. which was followed by a two
hours program starting at 7:00.
Professor Howard Gramlich acted
as master of ceremonies.
The program arranged was satir
ical as well as comical. One fea
ture of the evening was J. W.
Lundy, speaksr ot the house of rep
resentatives in the state legisla
ture, dressed as a yellow dog, and
his hand, incidentally, being
charged with electricity.
An interesting race was run off
between members of the state leg
islature and faculty of the city
campus. Coach Henry Schulte,
who officiated the race, declared it
a tie.
The final event of the program
was a satirical skit presented by
the newly initialed members. It
took the for mof a bridge party, in
which the wives of the newly made
members discussed the condition
their husbands returned home the
night of the initiation.
These meetings are held monthly
by the club, and are open to any
one wishing to join. This may be
done by getting in touch with the
chief cur, Howard Gramlich, or any
other officer of the club.

Death of Rockne Shocks Huskers
Who Have Known Him; Had Planned
To Visit Here With Friends Soon
The death of Knute Rockue, famous football coach of Notre
Dame, shocked many Xebrnskang who knew and respected the
Indiana mentor;
liockne was chairman of lhe board of trustees of the Amer

When in Omaha two months ago
Coach Rockne told Lincoln friends
that he would visit them here
sometime during the spring.
Here Last in 1925.
The last appearance of the
South Bend coach in Lincoln was
in the fall of 1925 when his Notre
Dame football team was defeated
by Cept. Ed Weir and teammiil;s
at Memorial stadium. His only
other visits in the state since 1925
were in 1927 when he was the
guest of R. C. Russell at York and
in 1928 when he served as head in
structor in a football coaching
school at Hastings college.
Notre Dame teams under Rock
ne's tutorship met Nebraska on
the gridiron nine times. In 1915
and 1916, Jesse Harper brought
Irish elevens here with Rockne
acting as first assistant instructor.
As head coach in 1918 Rockne'e
pupils held the Huskers to a score
less tie. Then in 1919 the Indiana
eleven slapped a 14 to 9 defeat on
