Not Announced.
Contributions for the April num
ber of the Awgwan should be in
the hands of the editor by the time
spring vacation starts Editor Mar
vin Robinson urged Monday. The
plans are being formulated for a
still larger Awgwan altho as yet
no particular theme has been de
cided upon. The theme however
and the material in this issue will
featui campus happenings along
this time of the year.
"Most of the college humor mag
azines have taken reductions in
size in the past few months and
the increase in the size of the
Awgwan is phenomenal in view of
present conditions," commented
Kobinson. "Even a number of the
leading comics dropped from four
to six pages in size last month,"
he said.
The April Awgwan will contain
the next report of the Snoopera
who outrivaled Walter Winchell
last month. The reports will again
feature the Intimate affairs of the
leading campus people and in view
of last month's reception of this
section it should be more popular
than before. Another leading de
partment that will be found in the
next issue is the Campus Tempo
section. The series of Vignettes
which began in the March number
will be continued and the usual
amount of short jokes, art work
and material will also be featured.

Fordyce Says Correct Practice Will
Make Reading More Rapid, Efficient
"Thru exercises and judicious
practice of ten minutes per day
the speed of reading among my
atnHpnt hfls increased sreatly,'
declared Dr. Fordyce of Teachers
college when asKea bdoui me ex
perimental reading tests which be
has been conducting in his classes.
Dr. Fordyce bel'eves that by cor
rect practice a person can double
his speed of reading in a single
yer" .. .... . , v..
The reaaing rate is measurcu uy
the number of words read per
minute or per hour. The rate
varies with the difficulty of the
matter read. In simple, familiar
reading material the- educated
adult should rad 300 to 400 words
per minute while la difficult mat
ter about 200 words per minute.
The rate is largely dependent upon
the motor habits of the eye. "Effi
ciency In reading is measured by
the degree in which one interprets
the thought and by the rate at
which the eye passes over the
printed page. The degree of inter
pretation is measured by answer
ing questions relating to the con
tent," explained the Doctor.

ing sees just one word at a time
instead of groups of words or
phrases as he should. The object
of Dr. Fordyce's experiment is to
teach students to read more
rapidly and at the same time read
more efficiently. The eye is
actually capable of seeing from
three to five words at a time, and
so one can see the need for Im
provement The eye sweeps across
the page from left to right on each
line read, but this sweep Is not
continuous. It is in the form of
jerky movements consisting of
three or more pauses.
Quoting from Dr. Fordyce, "The
fovea or point of vision takes in
about three letter spaces while the
"yellow spot" In which the fovea
lies takes four to six monosyllabic
words. There should sot be more
than about three pauses per line
in the ordinary octavo page. Many,
however, contract the faulty habit
of pausing on each word giving a
very slow rate of reading. The
eye should not perch on each
word."

The nature of the experimental
work is something like this. Im

ALL-UNIVERSITY PARTY
12-Piece Orchestra, State
Show Will Entertain
Saturday Night.
PLAN NEW COLOR SCHEME
The agricultural college campus
will be the scene of the next all
University party Saturday night,
the Barb Council announced Mon
day. Jack Coupland, a member of
the arrangement committee, said,
"The Barb Council has decided
that it is only fair to have one
party this year at the other 'cam
pus of the university. All other
parties have been given in the col
iseum on the city campus, so a
change may be desirable. The stu
dent activities building of the agri
cultural college seems to be a pop
ular 'fun place" for students, as
the crowds which attend the Ag
Mixers testify."
A twelve piece orchestra is to be
featured at the coming party, but
the name will not be announced
until later. In addition, there will
be a stage show of .special attrac
tion, featuring Jack Stary and his
Comedy Kar.
The hall will present a fitting at
mosphere for the party, stated
Hughina Legge of the committee
on decorations. "An elaborate
color scheme is to be carried out
to the best of our ability," she de
clared. "We are sure it will be
more than pleasing to everyone."
Chaperones for the party are
being chosen and will be an
nounced later. The prices for ad
mission to this party will be the
same as for the past All-University
fetes: 35 cents for ladies and
50 cents for gentlemen.
TO ANNOUNCE RESULT
OF FORENSIC SURVEY
Campus Fraternities Asked
Answer Letters Sent Out
By Delta Sigma Rho.
Results of the forum letter that
was sent out by Delta Sigma Rho,
honorary forensic fraternity, will
be learned in a few days, the or
ganization reports. Letters re
questing campus fraternities to
submit the stand of their respec
tive organizations on the proposed
intramural debate program were
mailed by Walter Huber, president
of the honorary, Saturday.
As well as requesting that the
organization give its opinion about'
the proposed plan, two questions,
for debate were listed as possibili
ties and it was requested that the
groups report any questions that
th- thought suitable for debate.
The letter came as a result of
the efforts of a committee that
was appointed to sound out stu
dent sentiment and to determine
the advisability of establishing a
round robin league. The Daily
Nebraskan has for some time been
co-operating with the committee
in this endeavor.
The letters were mailed directly
to the intramural managers of the
various fraternity houses in the
hope that the question might be
brought before the organizations
meeting Monday night.
Round Robin Affairs.
The letter proposed that the
question for debate should be of
student interest and that all stu
dents who have not competed on
the varsity debate team should be'
eligible. Teams are to consist of
two men each. Each house will be
asked to take both the affirmative
and the negative side of the ques
tion, which can be done by having
an affirmative and a negative
team or by having one team take
both sides.
The proposed tournaments are
to be round robin affairs, each
house meeting every other house
once, tne winner being the one
with the highest percentage. The
debates will be held in the chapter
houses. Each speaker will be
given eight minutes in main speech
and four minutes in rebuttal.
Each debate will be judged by
three competent, impartial Judges,
who have had debate experience
and the decision will consist o' an
unanimous or a 2 to 1 vote.

Rural Children Learn to Sing From
Radio Lessons Broadcast by Mr. Diers
BY BOYD KREWSON.
"Hello, little boys and girls.
This is Theodore Diers speaking to
you from the School of Music at
the University of Nebraska, Lin
coln. And now, little folks, we
will have fifteen minutes of fun
singing. Listen carefully while I

Thus begins a typical broadcast
for Theodore Diers, the originator
of the "That Every Child May
Sing" lessons by radio to rural
school children of Nebraska.
"The average child of Ne
braska's rural schools needs only
encouragement to develop his
voice," stated Mr. Diers, announcer
for the broadcasting of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. "The rural
children are more unfortunate
than their city cousins in that
they, as a rule, do not have voice
training on the curriculum. Their
voices are equally as good as those
of city children. Training is their
only need and wit a instruction L
think the rural children are the
better."
Instructing rural school children
in voice culture by radio was inno
vated by Mr. Diers a year ago
February. From this pioneering

ART CONFEDERATION
E
Fifth Annual Regional Meet
Will Be Held This Week
At Joslyn Memorial.
The fifth annual regional con
ference of the American Federa
tion of Arts will be held in Omaha
at the Joslyn Memorial this week,
March 31, April 1 and 2. The first
regional convention was held in
Lincoln five years ago, this type
of meeting being inaugurated
largely thru the efforts of Prof.
Paul H. Grummann, former direc
tor of the University of Nebraska
school of fine arts and now direc
tor of the Joslyn Memorial.
Several Lincoln people will ap
pear on the program. William L.
Younkin will describe "The Ne
braska State Capitol," on the first
day's program. Prof. F. Dwight
Kirsch, chairman of the committee
on administration for the school of
fine arts, will head the discussion
on interior decorating during the
morning of the second day. Prof.
Herbert Yenne, department of
dramatics at the university, will
tell of the "Trend of the Modern
Theater." Miss Elizabeth Tierney,
fine arts music department, will
speak on "The Integration of Mu
sic in the University Curriculum."
Miss Charlotte Kizer, supervisor of
art, will have the topic, "Thru the
Art Gallery With the Children."
At the banquet the evening of
April 2, an event which climaxes
the conference, Dr. Herman G.
James, former dean of the Univer
sity of Nebraska college of arts
and sciences and now president of
the University of South Dakota,
will be the principal speaker talk
ing on "Our Cultural Relations
With South America."
One of the features of the con
ference will be an exhibition of art
work from colleges and universi
ties of the middle west.
gesture has developed an extensive
use of the radio for this purpose in
various states. The move is on the
increase, and Mr. Diers is rapidly
coming forth in the educational
world in this phase of instruction,
his pioneering and experience mak
ing his advice and suggestions
valuable.
Idea One Year Old.
"The idea of utilizing the radio
for this purpose occurred to me
last year as I was told of phono
graph records being used for the
purpose," stated Mr. Diers. "Many
rural schools cannot afford these
machines, neither have they radios,
but in most cases the school house
is not far distant from a farm
house with a radio and it Is in
these farm homes where many of
the radio's classes meet."
When asked about tangible re
sults of these lessons, Mr. Diers
proudly strode to a file and re
moved a stack of letters of appre
ciation from rural achools of this
state. Many schools have three to
five pupils, but many have eigh
teen and more. Letters from little
idolizers of six and seven years of
age were in the bundle. Several

RUN MONDAY EVE
'3
Suns West' Received
By an Enthusiastic
Audience.
SCENERY IS REALISTIC
Round-Up Outfit Around
Campfire Is Very
Effective.
BY RO PIZER.
The cow-punching adventurous
spirit of the old Southwest lives
again in "3 Suns West," an orig
inal play written by Herbert Yenne
and produced for the first time by
University Players, Monday night
at the Temple theater. An enthu
siastic audience was silenced only
bv the appearance of Mr. Yenne.
The three lively acts of round-up
humor, Virginia Reel dancing, and
a happy ending love plot were
well received.
Mae Ekstrand plays her first
lead with the players as Sally
Wray, the rancher's daughter and
a very popular miss. Miss Ek
strand is well cast. Her perform
ance exhibited ease and poise.
Budd Ashton, in love with Saly
and a hero in the end even though
he looks wicked for quite a while,
is played by Elbridge Brubaker.
Mr. Brubaker is a familiar figure
on the Players' stage, and his per
formance was well received.
The settings for the play were
especially fine realistic and de
serving of notice. The first scene
in the show was, perhaps, the
most effective. Depicting a typical
round-up outfit sitting around the
campfire after supper, the last
night out, the curtain rises on the
cowboys singing a dreamy tune to
the accompaniment of a strum
ming guitar.
Billy the Kid, a half real half
legend character who was the in
spiration for the play, is enacted
by Carl Humphrey who does a
good job of it. Pauline Gellatly as
Alvarita Valdez, a Mexican girl
who is Billy's sweetheart is a col
orful character with a charming
accent which is genuinely con
vincing. Miss Gellatly fits the part
of the dainty, exquisite Alvarita
perfectly.
Miss Weaver Amusing.
Dorothy Weaver takes the part
of Kate, the housekeeper at the
ranch, whose mature affections
are villainously betrayed. Miss
Weaver spares no effort to make
the part as amusing as possible,
and she succeeds admirably. Her
interpretation calls forth genuine
laughter.
Webb Wray, the cattleman and
owner of the ranch, is played by
Robert Reade, a versatile person,
certainly, whose acting shows hard
