PLANS FOR MAY
Miss Mierhenry Begins to
Arrange for Annual
, . , Fair Feature.
HOME EC GIRLS MANAGE
Initial plans for the May Day
tea room at the 1931 Farmers
Fair have been completed, accord
ing to Ruth Mierhenry, general
committee chairman.
As in previous years girls ma
joring in institutional management
in the home economics depart
ment are to have charge of the tea
room. Miss Bernice Elwell is the
class instructor. Girls in the class
have been put on committees and
will help arrange for the tea room.
Esther Atkinson is head of the
foods committee while Agnes Mad
ison heads the decoration group.
Marjorie Trott has charge of the
service committee.
Each year the tea room is
planned and operated by the stud
ents in the institutional manage
ment class with the help of the in
structor. As usual the tea room
will be found in the cafeteria.
Plans Being Laid.
The service committee is to have
charge of serving in the tea room.
Miss Trott is already laying big
plans for giving fair patrons visit
ing the tea room good service. She
will probably announce her selec
tion of waitresses within the next
few days.
Operating the tea room affords
the girls in the institutional man
agement class actual practice in
providing food for visitors at the
fair. The girls do all the planning
and usually operate the tea room
at a marginal profit.

By ROSELINE PI2ER.
"He's above your station and
you shouldn't marry him. No good
will come of it," says the inn
keeper of the "Bird in Hand."'
"So I'm not good enough for
him," replies his wily daughter.
"I never said anything of the
tort," blurts the indignant father
who never leaves his inn and who
takes care of his inn-keeper's
daughter so well the daughter is
much displeased.
"Then there is just one thing for
me to do and that is to go away,"
nobs the daughter. And so on far
tar into the night; in fact, the
wnole second act of "Bird in
Hand," the current offering of the
University Players, takes place in
the dead of night.

DR. M0ULT0N TO SPEAK
Final preparations for entertain
ing more than 2,000 Nebraska men
and women for the annual Feed
er's Day at the college of agricul
ture Friday are almost complete,
according to Prof. H. J. Gram
lich. A new attendance mark is
expected to be made if the
weather is favorable.
The hundreds of Nebraska rural
people at the college for the day
will meet during the fore part of
Friday in a joint session. Dr. C.
Robert Moulton of Chicago is

speakers at the morning jbint ses
sion of men and women. Others

Scheduled to Talk
During Convocation
A convocation for freshmen

termine who is right father or
daughter with the guests at the
hotel for jury, pacifiers and gen
eral nuisance, according to the
father.
A real lawyer is the head paci
fier in patching up the family dif
ficulties and they are patched up
with a nice live-happily-ever-after
ending that leaves you with
a satisfied sigh when the final cur
tain goes down.
"Bird in Hand" deals with a
problem just opposite to that in
"Fashion", the last presentation
of the University Players. Instead
of a socially ambitious, fligmy
mother, a conservative elderly
father who warita his daughter to
marry in her own class and not
above it, is the central figure.
But he is won over, and you will
be completely won over by this
very entertaining comedy. The
play is presented in a manner that
shows the results of a season's
experience, and the stage effects
are realistic to the minutest detail.

competition in the state tourna
ment.
The debating league each year

teams may have, the advantage of
working on the same question for
the entire season. This year the
question which is being used is
"Resolved, that the nations of the
world adopt a plan of complete
disarmament except for such
forces needed for police purposes."

handing in their decisions. Judges
will be selected from experienced
university debaters and some of
the professors who have had ex

TOF
Heavy Schedule Remains in
Legislative Outline
For Spring.
By THE OBSERVER
With not more than six meet
ings remaining in which to end its
year's work the Student council
has a heavy schedule to follow for
the remainder of the year. Tonight
it will convene in regular session
in the "U" hall council chambers
to dispose of publication board ap
pointments, possibly discuss plans
for the coming spring election, and
hear a report from Walter Huber,
chairman of the athletic relations
committee.
According to Robert Kelly, pres
ident of the council, only one ap
plication ha3 been received for the
position and since filings are closed
that particular applicant will un
doubtedly be automatically voted
the position. Other than that the
applicant was a Blue Shirt, the
council president had nothing to
say.
Much Work Ahead
' If the new Student council con
stitution, which has been in the
process of construction, revision,
and amendment since early last
fall, is to be completed this year
a great deal must be done in the
near future. The document has
been turned down once by the fac
ulty sub-committee and after
patchwork and additions the coun
cil has again turned it back to that
group. It is hoped that it will meet
their approval in its present con
dition in order that it may then be
submitted to the faculty commit
tee on student relations and the
university senate for approval be
fore the spring election in May.
As the constitution now stands
it has at least a fair chance of
gaining approval of the adminis
trative groups, according to one
memoer of the faculty sub-committee.
.In an. informal Interview
that member remarked that upon

Tl
Right to Fill Open Berth
On Team Narrows to
Two Players.
WILL GO FIVE MATCHES
The right to fill the open berth
on the Husker tennis team has
narrowed down to two men, Joe
Miller and Roberto Mario, who are
scheduled to fight it out in a ser
ies of five matches to be played
within the next two weeks.
Mario came through the first of
the elimination tournaments r-.n
off by Coach McBride by putting
the skids under Durisch in the fin
als, 9-7, 7-5. Mario won by dint of
bis steadier playing and because
he had the stuff to score points at
critical moments.
Durisch Earns Way.
Durisch earned his way into the
semi-finals by defeating Ray Frer
ichs in a three set battle. The
score were 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The
match, as indicated by the scores
was close all the way with Durisch
rallying after dropping the first
set to turn back his opponent
in the second and third sets.
Conklin was slated to play Dur
isch in the semi-finals but was
forced to default because of his ab
sence from school due to a senior
journalism assignment. For the
same reason McKim had to forfeit
to Mario in the lower bracket.
An Even Battle.
As for Miller and Mario, ad
vance dope points to an even bat
tle. Mario, a Filipino boy is a
southpaw, and his most effective
weapon of attack is a speedy fore
hand drive executed with lots of
topskin on the ball. Miller is fast
and depends upon well-placed
chops, mixed with drives to out
maneuver his opponents. He has
been laid up for several weeks,
howev-r, with a pulled knee ten
don. Two more elimination tourna
ments will be held iccording to
plans outlined by M:Bride. The
winners will automa' ically become
members of the net squad. The
second net tourney will get under
