Home Ec Feculty Introduces
Plan for Lending of
Famous Pictures.
The Home Economics faculty are
starting a "picture library" for
the oenefit of Home Ec students.
Pictures may be "checked out,"
taken home and enjoyed for two
weeks, like library books. They
may be renewed an additional two
weeks if desired. The student is
furnished a case in which to carry
the picture home.
In this way the Home Ec faculty
are attempting to foster an appre
ciation of good pictures. This "pic
ture library" plan is intended to
give the student an opportunity to
live with some of the world's
choicest masterpieces and have the
joy of intimate acquaintance with
them.
This library has offers of six
pictures for "checking out," repre
senting a variety of types and ar
tists. Four are oil paintings, Cor
noyer's "Madison Square," Ra
phael's "Madonna of the Door."
Pietro de Hooch's "Die Apfelchal
erin," and Valasquez "Infanta
Marguerita." There is one Japa
nese print, and two etchings, Lott
man's "Entrance to the City Hall."
and Figuro's "Chart res Cathedral"
in color.

People Who Can Battle Cold Over to
. Armory Can Enjoy Summer Pastime
Well, folks, if you think you can
brave the cold winter blasts long
enough to trot yourselves over to
the Armory Saturday you can en
joy the usual summer diversion
right here on the campus in the
dead of winter. Everything from
a "chamber of horrors" to hitting
the "nigger baby" not to mention
the wild west show and so forth.
It will be a big day for the Big
Sisters going clownish on us and
offering such a wide diversion of
pleasure all for one red copper
cent.
Besides the big stage show hot
from O st. there will be a puppet
show rivaling Toney Sarg's crea
tions and all of the rest of these
wouIJ.be puppet masteis. And a
word of warning to the wise should

ITESE COLD SSAP
Thermometer Takes Drop
To Thirteen lielotv
Tuesday P. M.
The publication offices have be
come crowded, the moon is doing a
rousing business, and even the
most consistent cutters have bjen
driven to seek the warmth of
classrooms by a high' pressure
area over the Dakotas and Mon
tana, and a low pressure area over
Arkansas.
These two meteorological condi
tions have produced a cold wave
over the middle west that has
brought ten-below-zero weather to
the Texas panhandle, and thirty-below-temperature
to Duluth. Lin
coln was enjoying a mild thirteen
below at 3 p. m. yesterday after
noon, with prospects for fifteen
below for last night with some
what warmer today.
There is, however, the threat of
a continuance of the cold spell in
another high pressure area mov
ing southward across western
Canada. If this prospect material
izes people will be led to believe
that the groundhog saw a whale of
a big shadow.
Cold Soon to Hit South.
The sunny southland will be the
recipients of this cold snap in the
near future, but the present temp
eratures range around 50-60 with
a 6S recorded at New Orleans.
The coldest weather reported in
the United States was foity below
in the Northern Red River valley
and around the Lake-of-the-Woods
region. There has been slight pre
cipitation over most of the area of
low temperature in the form of
snow.
This, coupled with a high wind
from the north-west has created a
small blizzard, that makes the
freshmen in organized house and
the custodians of the university
hold hard feelings toward the
weatherman.
SOCIAlMlRKER
PRAISfS NEW PLAY
'Porgy Is True Portrayal
Of Negro Life,' Says
W. R. Smalls.
Explaining and interpreting the
University Players' latest produc
tion 'Porgy" from the viewpoint of
the negro, W. Robert Smalls, exec
utive secretary of the Urban
League of Kansas City and social
worker, addressed the audience of
"Porgv" Tuesday night.
A negro himself, Mr. Smalls was
born in the vicinity of Charleston,
S. C, which is the locale for the
play. "I saw Porgy when it was
originally produced, stated Mr,
Smalls, and knew personally sev
eral of the players. This is the first
time I have seen the play produced
with a mixed cast, and the results
are gratifying."
Replying to Criticism.
In replying to criticism made by
local persons of the city that the
play was unfair, and derogatory io
the negro ideal. Mr. Smalls re
marked that "anytime anyone can
get something artistic and some-

man will be on hand to repremand
all felonies, misdemeanors and acts
of treason, not to mention unbe
coming conduct of all those in
attendance. What a pity if we find
our attractive co-eds lodged in in
the locker house overnight and
have to send out the Lonciln one
man police force to rescue the
maidens in distress.
If you want to find out if "he"
loves you. or how you actually look
to your friends try the fortune
teller and the caricature drawer.
All for one cent you can tour the
world and see all the glamours of
the old world.
No one will be disappointed, a
big time is in store for all, so don't
miss the Big Sister penny carnival,
there will bg a brassy time ahead.

in twenty-four states have been

to a questionnaire on the plan sent

G. Allaway, chairman of the com
mittee, announced Tuesday after

present to the council this after
noon. Some form of compulsory blan
ket tax on all students to support
athletics and extra-curricular or
ganizations is now in use in
twenty of the thirty-two schools
reporting, results of the question
naire showed. Seven schools have
never investigated or considered
the pian. In four the blanket tax
has been considered but rejected
by the board of regents or trustees.
Iowa State, the remaining school
to answer tne questionnaire, has a
complete plan drawn up and
adopted but the president is with
holding putting it into operation at
present.
All but three or four of th
schools which have replied to the
council's questionnaire are public

Average Fee $17.68.
In schools now using the plan,
the annual fee ranges from ti.v
to thirty dollars, with S17.6S as
the average for the twenty schools.
Six of the reporting colleges say
that the cost to the individual stu
dent under the blanket tax plan is
less than the separate subscription
and ticket prices for the events
and publications included before
the plan was adopted. One report. -that
the price is higher; one th.it
it is the same; and the oth- i
schools fail to indicate this effect.
