WESLEY PLAYERS TO
GIVE RELIGIOUS PLAY
Biblical Drama "Barter"
Presented at Temple
On Aprjil 21.
The Wesley Foundation woman's
auxiliary will present the Wesley
Players In "Barter," by Urban
Nagel, Thursday, 7:30 p. m., April
21, at the Temple theater. "Barter"
is a four act religious drama
which the Wesleyan Players pre
sented thruout the year as their
major play.
, This play was the prize winning
religious drama of 1928, published
by Longmans Green & Co., New
York City. It is the first royalty
play that the Wesley Players have
attempted, and portrays situations
and issues that hold the audience
thruout the presentation. The au
thor has combined something of
the Shakespearian style with
great principles and characteriza
tion that are biblical.
"Barter" has already been pre
sented in Grand Island, Wavcrly,
York, Courtland, Friend, Wahoo
and Lincoln. The play will also be
presented at Crete, Hastings, and

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. "They are almost
automatic in their movements," he
said.
The hits of the show in the eyes
of the geology professor are Mrs.
Barry, as portrayed by Herbert
Yenne; Mary Lou, who is played
by Byron Bailey; Jane nee Neil
McFarland and Roger Wolcott,
the Husker footballer, as Mrs. Car
michsel, a housekeeper.

EMPLOYMENT DRIVE
Lincoln Campaign Handled
By L. E. Gunderson
Gets Results.
CANVASS LINCOLN HOMES
"With $1,768,000 in work
pledged to be done within the next
three months, the United Employ
ment campaign in Lincoln is high
ly successful," declared L. E. Gun
derson, chairman of the drive, and
finance secretary of the university.
"Put Men and Money to Work"
was the s'yan of the drive. About
1,800 men will receive employment
during the foiiowing three months
as a result.
The Lincoln campaign is a part
of the nationwide drive pushed by
tne American Legion National
Employment commission. However
in this city there was fine co-op
eration with the civic clubs, the
city commissioners, the chamber
of commerce and the junior cham
ber of commerce, the community
chest, the Boy Scouts, the news
papers and the radios, according
to Mr. Gunderson.
An army of 600 workers can
vassed the city, visiting every
home and office, asking Lincoln
citizens to take advantage of the
present low cost of building ma
terials and improve their proper
ty. Painting, repapering, decorat
ing, laying new floors, sidewalks
and driveways, roofing, building
attics and basements into recrea
tion rooms were among the im
provements promised.
The only stipulation made In the
drive was that absolutely all work
be given to Lincoln men and Lin
coln business firms. In this man
ner the drive followed the slogans
"Help People to Help Themselves
and "Provide Work, Not Charity."

prediction. "Yenne's ability is as
serted along a different line, he's
good."
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. "The show should
be of special Interest to a Ne
braska audience," was his com
ment. "In my opinion this Is one of the
best shows produced by Kosmet
Klub. 'J "he chorus is large and
well trained and Dr. Ireland de
serves a lot of credit for the excel
lent manner In which he has di
rected the work of the chorus.
The male Ingenues are too good to
be true," he said in praising the
musical comedy.
Yea, the male ingenues are too
good to be true, you should see
them on an off night.
The work of Herbert Yenne, in
the writing, directing, and playing
of the lead was lauded. "Mr.
Yenne has maintained his usual
high standard In writing a clean
high class entertaining comedy,"
he said in conrlusiou.

FALLS OFF RAPIDLY
Registrations Increase at
Bureau While Demand
Is Decreased.
Calls for teachers received by
the University of Nebraska de
partment of educational service
from Sept. 1, 1931 to April 1. 1532,
reached a total of 305 or wnicn in
came in March. During the corre
sponding period a year ago, 546
calls were received with a total
of 257 received during the month
of March. 241 less calls were re
ceived this year and 161 less dur
ing March, 1932.
Figures on the opposite side of
the ledger reveal 300 more regis
trations from Sept. 1, 1931 to April
1, 1932, than were recorded during
the same period last year. The in
crease is almost entirely in the
group seeking high school employ
ment, and most or this group are
women. The increase in the num
ber of applicants for grade school
positions is only 24.
The total registrations on recora
now, less re-registrations, number
1,320. The total. Including re-registrations,
is 1,444. The number of
applicants last year, including re-
reeistrations, was 1,377. it may
be seen that the total for this year
to date, exceeds the total applica

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.

BIG SIX SCHOOLS
COMING HERE FOR
COUNCIL MEETING
Ask Neighboring Universities
To Send Delegates
On April 30.
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

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
