Capacity Crouds'
Sec Playvrs Act
Satirical Cometh
By The Observer.
Capacity crowds each cvenlftg
marked the presentation of "Beg
gar on Horseback" as given by the
University Players during the past
week. Without question the pro
duction may bo considered the best
work which the Players have done
so far this year.
The play, a stinging satire on
the foolish fancies of 'rotarian'
America, waa literally a night
mare. Authors of the production
were Marc Connelly, who is more
widely known for hi3 play "Green
Pastures," and George Kaufman,
who collaborated on the Hollywood
satire, "Once in a Lifetime."
The play, "Beggars on Horse
back," featured a quadruple "mur
der," a "kept" husband, and
"hymn singing, knitting inces
santly gabbing" mother-in-law.
The part of Neil, a struggling
young composer, was well cast
with Herb Yenne in the role. Ray
Ramsay, as the multi-millionaire
"business man" father, gave an ex
cellent performance. Ann Kavich,
as Gladys, the millionaire's pamp
ered daughter, played her first
major role while Nora Osborn took
the part of her eccentric mother-in-law.

SAY TOO INCONVENIENT
Formal Attire Not Barred
However; Ticket Sale
Progresses.
In response to the general senti
m?r.t of coeds regarding the
furmal character of the Leap Year
party previously announced, mem
Jjl r.j of Motar Board, sponsors of
the affair, at their meeting Friday
decided to schedule it as an in
formal party. Those who prefer to
come in formal attire, however,
may do so, and undoubtedly many
will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity since the date is still in
eluded in formal season.
'Many coeds have come to us,"
said Jean Kathburn, "suggesting
the inconvenience of long formal
dresses and additional paraphern-
alia in carrying out. rneir roiea ui
escort for the evening. They have
insisted that opening car doors,
changing tires, and other such odd
iobs as may become a part of their
duties are not in keeping with
formal attire.
"Mortar Board," she continued,
"is anxious to make every detail
of the party conform to the
wishes of the coeds, and for this
reason we are scheduling the party
as informal in character."
Tickets Going.
Ticket sales, according to Ber
eneice Hoffman, are progressing
rapidly, and over a thousand have
so far been checked out. "It has
come to me during the past few
davs that nerhans many students
are not aware that the actions of
the two Greek councils have closed
the night of Fch. 20 to all house
parties and all formals not already
scheduled. The ap Year party,
then, will be the gathering place
of the majority of the campus who
would spend their evening dare
in?. Coeds should mane their ap
pointments and purchase their
tickets soon in view of this fact."
Dorothy Weaver in charge of
cpnoral arrangements submitted
he r sutrfrestions for chaperones and
patrons and patronesses for the
affair, and after replies to invita
tions sent have been received,
publicity will be released on them.

FOR
Campus Cop Regler Refutes Common
Belief When He Declares College
Students Marked by Good Behavior
BY CLIFF SANDAHL.
Editor Dally Nebrackan, 1929.
It's not considered "news" any longer to have people praise
or condemn, college students in the press. It's considered more
or less commonplace.
But when ti "campiis cop" says students are good in their
behavior and has statistics to back up his assertion that's
news.
Beginning his fourth year aso
' of the University of
Nebarska campus, Police Sergeant
L. C. Regler is more convinced
than ever that college students are
not a3 bad as they are pictured.
The sergeant said Saturday that
of 710 suspects picked up by him
during the three years, only fif
teen were students and not one
has been a "repeater."
"It s just a popular notion that
college students behave badly,"
Sergeant Regie: said. "I have yet
to find a student intoxicated at
patties on the agricultural college

have seen at parties in the coli

Gunderson Refutes Idea of
Money Being Loaned
At Risk.
NEARLY ALL REPAID
Contrary to the general belief,
student loans have proved an out
standingly safe investment, ac
cording to figures from the office
of L. E. Gunderson, finance secre
tary of the university and a mem
ber of the student loan commit
tee. The loan fund was started a
trifle over twenty years ago, in
1911. at that time 53,500 being do
nated to the fund. Since that time
loans have been added and revenue
from estates have been appropri
ated to the university student loan
fund, making the total fund today
$56,000. From many of these loans
only the income can be used. Of
nil thfi loans made everv one of
them have been paid back in full.
Mr Gunderson said that mere
loans have been made this school
vear than ever before.
A total of S19.475.23 are loans
outstanding to students as on the
records for June 30. 1931. At the
nrruwnt time the committee has
available $8,400 which will be used
in P-rnntine- loans to students dur
ing the next .semester. Of this lat
ter amount the Slade estate con
tributed $6,400, while $2,000 re
mained over from the old fund.
This is just a drop in the bucket
when compared with a fund that
could be used by the loan com
mittee. At least $10,000 additional
could easily be beneficially placed
the next semester, it is believed.
What the committee has to look
forward to next year is dependent
in a large way upon the business
conditions. All but $5,000 from the

for traffic violations, he said.
"Arrests of outsiders who used
tie campus for petting parties
were frequent at first," Sergeant
Regler said. "Now, there is little
of that, especially since powerful
searchlights have been placed on
all buildings and since no one is
allowed on the campus after 10:30
p. m."
In endeavoring to keep traffic
violations at a minimum, Regler

Coeds Are Already
Wondering- About
Jobs IS'vxl Summer
By Imogens Souders.
Even though it is just January,
the Nebraska coed, as she wades
through the snow and hops over
puddles of slush, is worriedly won
dering where and how she is go
ing to get a job next summer.
Mary Alice Kelley, chairman of
vocstional guidance on the A. W. S.
board, has charge of information
that will help answer that question.
Under the auspices of the A. W.
S. board, leading women represen
tatives employed in every kind of
position in Lincoln give talks on
their respective vocations. Every
girl student in the university is
invited to be present at these lec
tures which are always announced
in the Daily Nebraskan. The
speaker also arranges consultation
hours at which time any girl in
terested may consult with her and
receive individual advice. Facts
and information given in these
lectures are kept on file in the
hands of the vocational guidance
chairman.
In the spring, the A. W. S. im
ports a nationally known leader in
vocational guidance, to lecture to
the girls. She is here for four or
five days, lecturing twice daily
and giving individual conferences.
Last spring the lecturer was Helen
A. Tufts of the Denver Collegiate
Bureau of Occupation. The num
ber of requests for special inter
views was so great that all appli
cants could not be accommodated.
During the five days of her stay
hpre. she cave twenty personal
interviews daily in addition to the
two group discussions.
This year's speaker has not yet
been chosen, but already many
coeds, anxious for jobs, are eagerly
looking forward to her coming.

If anv ambitious student, male or otherwise, has time for
an hour's amusement during the strain of final examinations,
it could he enjoyably spent in looking over the back files ot
the Hesperian Student and the Spmbrero. In fact, these pub

the proclivities of the members.

APPEAR MONDAY
COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 16. The
University of Missouri defeated
the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a
Big Six basketball game last
night by a score of 30 to 18. The
victory enabled tho Tigers to keep
their conference slate clear of de
feats, having vanquished Kansa3
State in last week's tilt.
Missouri led at half time, 12 to
8. Lunney, forward, and Mason,
guard, led the Nebraska offensive
with a pair of field goals each. An
extremely tight Missouri defense
seemed to handcuff the Huskcrs,
eight of whom saw action.
John Cooper, Tiger sophomore
forward, led the scorers with
ewelve points. Heinn, a teammate,
was in the runnerup position with
six markers.
Every Husker but one got into
the scoring column. Only six fouls
were called on the players, but
neither outfit could cash in on
their chances.
Max Collings, Tiger captain, was
forced to leave the court after
eight minutes of play because of a
badly injured ankle. George Stu
ber of football fame took Collings'
place at guard and functioned so
effectively that the Scarlet found
it virtually impossible to get past
him.

FEW APPLY FOR
TEACHING POSTS
IN COLLEGE FIELD
Records of the department of
educational service reveal that the
field of college teaching is not
over-crowded, which is true of the
secondary and educational fields.
To date, twenty-nine women and
twenty men have registered for
college positions,' while last year
fifty-three registered and forty-
two were piacea.
Calls for college teachers have
reached the total of ninety-three,
almost twice exceeding the number
of candidates. Twenty instructors
with Ph. D. degrees were called
for with only four registered. Of
those not placed last, year, the
principal point for their rejection
was lack of qualifications.
