Professor Advocates Male Cleopatras Female Impersonators Are Good Enough to Kiss, Who Cares. "The male flappers in 'Jingle Belles' are so thoroly feminine In their portrayals that I think that the business staff of Kosmet Klub is going to inoist that on the road trip the male ingenues ride in cars reserved for their exclusive use, so there will be no opportunity for contamination by the cigarette smoking male members of the cast," was the synopsis that Prof. E. F, Schramm made of the 1932 spring show. The chorus, according to Profes sor Schramm, who has served as chaperon on a number of trips, is the best chorus that the Kosmet Klub baa put on the stage in sev eral years.

The orchestra has been rehear sing along with the chorus and is a mighty good band In the opinion of Professor Schramm. The set ting, ox the choice of a Nebraska locale that Yenne made when he was writing the musical comedy, was considered as a wise move by the professor.

IIUNDHEDS TO START HOME FOK VACATION Do Not Enforce Cut Rule; Classes to Resume on Next Thursday. Hundreds of students will begin the homeward migration for spring -vacation today. Officially the recess does not begin until noon Saturday, but since there are few Saturday classes an extra haJf day is possible in most cases. Classes will be resumed at 8 o'clock Thursday morning, April 14. The double-cut rule for absences the day before and the day follow ing vacation periods is not strictly adhered to at present, the dean of student affairs' office explained Thursday, the matter being left up to th3 instructors. The instructors do try to dis courage absences immediately be fore and after vacation, the offide explained, since these in excess re tard the rest of the class. No ab sences are excused at these times except for serious illness, the sec retary added. Discipline is left to the instructor. No explanation could be given for the two days school next week, when it was inquired why the ex tra two days are not given and so add four days to the vacation pe riod, including the following Sat urday and Sunday. The two days probably balance some other pe riod in the year, the office said. No Further Riots Demanding The Reinstatement of School Editor. TEACHERS J5K3N PETITION All was quiet on the Columbia university campus Thursday. The one Jay student riot in protest of the expulsion of Reed Harris, editor of the Columbia Spectator, because of attacks on university officials had subsided and Dean Herbert E. Hawkes had refused to consider the suggestion of sixteen faculty members that he be rein stated, according to press dis patches from New York. "So far as I am aware there is no likelihood of Mr. Harris' rein statement," Dean Hawkes was quoted as saying when he received a petition signed by faculty mem bers asking such action. Nine o'clock classes found no more than the usual number ab sent and there was little sign of the "riots" that marked Wednes day's student protest when an at tempt was made to tie fifteen feet of crepe around the Alma Mater statute iu front of the university library as a symbol of the alleged "gag rule." It was thought further attempts would be made to secure Harris' reinstatement, but was unknown what form these attempts would take. The strike committee headed by Robert Hall planned a meeting when students will discuss what, if anything, can be done to restore Harr's to the student roll. A University of the City of New York publication was circulating a petition among other college edi tors ot the country protesting Hurris' dismissal as an offense against collegiate freedom of the press.

"I helleve In the dan. 1 think that It will be a fine thing for the university and will be a Dig eveni In the lives of the men Involved," was the sentiment that the geol ogy professor expessed. A simiiar pian was carnea out at Kansas and tho results of thU move on the part ot our neighbor ing university is remarkable.

TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS Student Council Drafts the Questions to Be Asked At Convention. Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa State college have elected dele gates to the conference of student governing bodies of the Big Six schools to be held in Lincoln April 30. Oklahoma and Kansas State college have as yet not replied to the invitation sent out by the Ne braska Student council conference committee. The conference is to include a discussion of problems encountered in student government by the various schools attending the af fair. It was planned following a national conference or representa tives which was held in Toledo, Ohio in December where Big Six school representatives decided that a conference of schools in this re gion would be a valuable aid in solving some of the problems mu tually encountered. Among the topics which will be included on the conference pro gram will be the question of the student activity tax which was suggested by Missouri where the adoption of this plan is at present being considered. The plan in volves the levying of a single tax on each student in school which entitles him to attend or partici pate in all student activities what soever, including athletics, drama tic productions, subscriptions to student publications etc. The plan may either be compulsory or placed upon a voluntary basis, the student electing to pay the tax or not. Other subjects being considered for discussion at the conference include the problem of the organi zation of unaffiliated students on the campuses and the representa tion in student activities of all groups of students. In connection with the problem, the question of political alignments will also be considered. Kansas university is expected to be able to contribute particularly (Continued on Page 2.) AMERICAN ENTRY INTO WAR SETTLED DISPUTE Declaration of War Meant Victory for Allies, Says Nesmith. American entry into the World war fifteen years ago eventually settled the dispute, altho the Ger mans, as a people, did not realize it. Prof. E. A. Nesmith told the Lincoln Lions club in discussing European problems at a luncheon Thursday. Speaking on "Problems of East ern and Centra Europe," Profes sor Nesmith said that individuals can live together peacefully but nations haven't had the same ex perience. The Versailles treaty was criticized for creation, of eleven trade units out of what had formerly been three units. Profes sor Nesmith said that many of the newly created small states were unable to maintain themselves in iv and economically and that problems are cropping up as a result. "T.'liminnHf.n of friction is the solution of world problems," he declared. "The woria is suiienos from changes made by the treaty u-hirh should be remedied. France, wcaponed and armed to the teeth, feels that Slie IS mrpaieneu ay a .tianrmed German v. There is not a German today, save a few of the old time monarchists, who even think of a war with France." That Every Man to Fraternal Group the ultimate goal of the unifica tion of spirit. "This organization and co-operation will build up a .nhnoi sniiHt at Nebraska so that students and alumni will be work ing together for the weirare oi me institution. By giving the unaffili ated men stronger social contacts we can build up a strong alumni group," he said. Clubs Have Advantage. The clubs will have an advan tage over the fraternities in the matter of economy, according to Professor Schramm. Some unaffil iate tnpn have staved out of fra ernitles because they felt that they couldn't afford it. CluD nouses win offer the same social advantages that are now possessed by fratern ities and the clubs nouses can op erate more economically. If the clubs want to expand their living quarters in the future they will be able to do so. Fraternities In the paBt have been too large. A large chapter would plan a house and build it and a smaller chapter would have to pay for it, was a defect In the fraternity system pointed out by Professor Schramm. ,T tumt .virv man in the 1A fcuiitn t.u v.w.j university should belong to a club I (Continued on Page 3.)
