Faculty.
ROBINSON DRAWS COVER
The May issue of the Awgwan,
devoted to articles and features
about the faculty of the university,
will be on sale today, beginning at
8 o'clock at the news stands in
social science, teachers college,
Andrews hall, and mechanic arts
halL The issue, according to staff
members, contains startling reve
lations about faculty and admin
istrative methods. .
Marvin Robinson, one of the
leading regular regular art con
tributors to the magazine, has
again designed the cover for the
magazine.
The Modern Era of Culture is
the title of one of the feature ar
ticles of the magazine in which
the author recommends to those
seeking the finer and more beauti
ful things of life a list of courses
whirh should bring them that
rather vague thing called culture.
Another article purports to expose
some facts of interest in regard to
Chancellor Burnett's administra
tive staff, gathered by an anony
mous contributor who supposedly
worked in various inconspicuous
positions in the chancellor's office
where he was able to collect his
material.
Contrary to hints published in
the Tuesday Nebraskan, the story
on Dean John D. Hicks was not
written by the Dean, but by a
sophomore, again an anonymous
contributor, who sits under Profes
sor Hicks in a history class. The
article is written in the first per
son, as though by the pen of Dean
Hicks himself, and is supposed to
explain the secret of the Dean's
success in attracting large classes.
The deadline for copy for the
final issue of the Awgwan has
been set for May 10. The issue will
be dedicate to graduating seniors.

On First Day.
More than 900 reserved seat
tickets to the spring Kosmet Klub
musical comedy, "High and Dry,"
have been sold to date, according
to a report issued last evening by
Ed Edmonds, sales manager. No
check has been made on the num

is reported by indivdual sales
members of the Kosmet Klub pro
duction staff.
Contrary to previous announce
ments the Liberty theater box of
fice opened at 1 o'clock. Rather
than at 9 o'clock as was expected,
due to an unfortunate mix-up.
This condition naturally kept a
number of people from reserving
their seats. Edmonds expresses
the Klub's regret at this occurence
and advises those people who
found the box office closed to re
serve their tickets today as there
is still a large number of good
seats open.
Tickets may be obtained at the
Cornhusker office, at Red Long's
bookstore, or from any of the
members ot Ksomet.Klub or their
production staff. In addition tic
kets will be open for cash sale at

MACCHIORO TALKS ON
Says Greek Pessimism Due
To Lack of Faith in
Powerful Deity.
At the best attended vespers
service of the year, Professor Mac
chiro of the University of Naples
in Italy delivered a talk on the
subject of "Greek Pessimism and
Christian Optimism" yesterday.
Professor Macchioro is an emi
nent theologist and it was from a
theological viewpoint that he gave
his address. The thought that he
left with his audience was that the
best way to be a good Christian
is to be a good theologist He
pointed out existing (Hli'erences
between 'Greek and Christian relig
ions, laying the blame for the
Greek pessimism and unhappiness
on the fact that they believe so
sincerely in, destiny and have no
important ideas about after-life.
"The main point for Christianity,"
said Professor Macchioro, "lies in
the fact that they believe in a deity
who can do anything."
Professor Macchioro is a visiting
instructor ia the University nf Ne
braska. He has been conducting
classes in History of Greek and
Roman Religion for the pan se
mester. Hick's Confession

Although Dean Hicks did not
