Balderston's Time Fantasy
Proves Fascinating
Mystery Play.
INCLUDES DASH OF WIT
Humor Based on Reaction
Young Moderns to Old
English Standards.
Opening the current dramatic
season, University Players gave
the initial performance of "Berke
ley Square" Monday evening, at
the Temple theater. John L. Bal
derston's strange play based upon
a curious conception of time turns
out to be a mystery play without
a solution but not without fas
cination and a dash of wit.
An able cast In an unusually
Cine setting carried the audience
successfully from the twentieth
century to the eighteenth and
back again. Herbert Yenne plays
the part of Peter Standish, the
twentieth century young man in
love with the past, who conceives
of all Time as one. Mr. Yenne
plays his difficult role with fine
understanding. In th last scene he
exhibits his very fine talent for
emotional interpretation.
Alta Reade as Helen Pettigrew,
tho girl with whom Peter Stand
ish falls in love, makes a very ap
pealing figure on the stage. From
Peter, she too acquires an inkling
(if this strange idea of Time. She
is convincing in a role which might
easily become fantastic.
Miss Zimmer Does Well.
Dorothy Zimmer, as Kate Petti
grew who first senses the mys
teiy which surrounds Peter Stand
ish, does not overdo her emotional
acting. She acts well and is at
ease on the stage. Clara Christcn
sen as Lady Anne Pettigrew pre
sents a very typical eighteenth
century mother.
Robert Reade plays the comic
character, Tom Pettigrew, the
worry and the annoyance of the
entire family. William Thompson
is the Ambassador and adds a dis
tinctive note to the cast.
Dorothy Weaver plays Marjorie
Frant, the twentieth century fi-

Plans and Outlines
March Route.
STARTS FROM TEMPLE
Workmen Installing Lighted
Speaker's Stand and
Corridor Lamps.
The annual homecoming rally,
largest of the year, will get under
way at 7 o'clock Friday evening,
it was announced Monday by Art
Mitchell, rally chairman.
The rally will start from the
Temple, where the band, Corncobs
and Tassels will gather. They will
parade up R street to Sixteenth,
on Sixteenth north to Vine, and on
Vine to the stadium.
Fraternity, sorority, and unor
ganized students have been asked
to fall in behind the band and fol
low it to the stadium, where the
rally proper will start at 7:30.
Workmen will begin at once
constructing a lighted speakers'
stand on the track in front of the
east stadium. Lights will be strung
through the corridors and in one
of the ramps leading out to the
stadium seats.
Mitchell explained that the rally
would be held in the stadium for
reasons of psychological effect
'The plan has the hearty endorse
ment of both H. D. Gish, director
of athletics, and D. X. Bible, head
coach," Mitchell said.
Replaces Former Bonfire.
The rally will take the place of
the annual bonfire rally staged at
homecoming in past times. It was
found necessary to do away with
the bonfire when it was discovered
that there was no place available
for it.
The former site of the fire, the
old drill field, has been prepared
for seeding, thus putting to an end
the custom of having the fire
there.
Numbers of alumni are expected
to attend the rally, in addition to
the usual student contingent.
Although not announcing the
speakers list, Mitchell said it
would include men from various
parts of the state. "They will be
famous Nebraskans of former
years," he promised. He indicated
that at least one or two former
football - captains would address

New Issue Features Article
By Student on Camp
Life at Ashland.
KOCH WRITES0N RADIO
The October issue of the Blue
Print, engineer's publication on the
campus, will be out Wednesday,
according to Jerry Briggs, editor.
The publication has some excep
tionally interesting articles this
month, says the editor. One which
should be of special interest is en
titled, "High Spots of Camp Life,"
written by W. H. Congdon, a
junior in tho civil engineering col
lege. This tells of the work and
play of about forty engineering
students at Camp Nebraska, lo
cated near Ashland, last summer.
An article written by Wesley
Koch tells about Lincoln's system
of wired radio entertainment. This
is a description of the equipment
and operation of a unique system
of raaio entertainment which gives
the citizens of Lincoln a choice of
three radio programs.
This month's Blue Print repro
duces a paper which was prepared
and delivered at the Southwestern
Power conference at Kansas City
in September by Prof. C. A. Sjo
gren. The paper, in dealing with
the branch societies of national en
gineering organizations in each
department, sets out ideas on how
these activities can take a higher
plane in the curricula of the va
rious departments, and how it
may arouse new interest in those
departments.
A. L. Harvey, who graduated
from the electrical engineering
college of Nebraska in 1906, has
an article in this month's issue en
titled "Induction Motors and Start
ers with Reference to Torque Pro

more than half the price scale for
non-student purchasers and con
siderably under the general admis
sion price at the Husker games.
Plan Is Temporary Measure.
' "The present plan of placing in
dividual tickets on sale to students
at reduced prices is a temporary
measure being tried this year. The
student season book sale is consid
erably under that of the past few
years, due undoubtedly to the fact
many students are pinched finan
cially and were unable to put out
the nine dollars at the start of the
present school year.
"Students holding season ath
letic books are receiving admis
sion to the games at a rate well
under the individual game figure.
The new ticket of one dollar per
game is designed to aid those stu
dents who desire to see the Corn
huskers in action and were unable
to purchase the season book."
The new student tickets will be
paced on sale for the first time
Tuesday morning and many are
expected to take advantage of the
new price and be in the student

Library Bookcase Contains History
Of Nebraska University Publications
BY OLIVER DeWOLF
In the little bookcase just out
side the swinging doors of the
main library is a collection that
should prove of interest to every
Nebraska student. This bookcase
always contains objects of interest
but it has been said that the his
tory of school is always chronicled
in its publications, and at the pres
ent time that it just what this
bookcase contains: Publications of
the University of Nebraska.
Beginning in 1895, the English
department of the University pub
lished the Nebraska Literary Mag
azine which sold for twenty-five
sents a copy. It was discontinued
in 1896. At this time the Univer
sity Monitor, an attempt at serious
journalism, was introduced, but it
lasted les3 than a year. H. It.
Leavitt was the editor in chief, and
subscriptions sold for one dollar a
year.
The Kiote, another periodical,
appeared in 1898, and continued
until 1910. This magazine was
sponsored by Mr. Clark F. Analey.
and was edited by Schuyler W.
Miller, and Harry G. Shedd. It
sold for five cents a copy.

Declaring that she could not pre
side as queen of the Kosmet court
at the annual morning revue Nov.
7, Audrey Gregory, last year Ne
braska sweetheart resigned last
night from her post of presiding
queen at the ceremony because she
felt that the action of the club in
declaring Imogene Steinmeier inel
igible was "discriminatory and un
fair." Her action followed declaration
by hastily organized law college
students under the direction of
John P. Jensen, Blair, senior, that
the law students of the university
were prepared to write in the
name of Miss Steinmeier on the
ballots in today's election of Ne
braska Sweetheart, in the face of
the Kosmet Klub statement that
she was Ineligible on account of
having too many hours credit.
The recently passed Klub ruling
on eligibility states that to be elig
ible for candidacy for the post of
Nebraska Sweetheart, a girl must
have "not less than twenty-seven
credit hours, and not more than
eighty-nine."
Devereaux Refutes Charges.
Replying to the charges brought
by Miss Gregory and the law
students of discriminatory action,
Dick Devereaux, Kosmet Klub
president said that the elegibility
rule in effect for the first time
this year was passed Tuesday
night before any examinations of
the filings for Nebraska Sweet

"Student activities office filings
for the post were not investigated
until Wednesday, the day following

With the completion of the pave

space provided ought to meet the
needs of students for a good many
years."
Parking on the new mall will be
diagonal, stalls having been
marked on the curb Monday morn

yesterday on the new pavement,
the south section of which was
completed. Cars were parked both
parallel, in conformity with park

space was by no means exhausted.
The south side of the street on
the south section of the mall will
be assigned to faculty membe-s
