FIRST PLAYERS'
OF
University Actors Present
Three-Act Comedy All
Of Next Week.
With a cast featuring Ray Ram
sey and Dorothy Zimmer, the Uni
versity Players open their season
next Monday in the Broadway suc
cess of last winter, "The Late
Christopher Bean." New York
critics hailed this three-act comedy
as one of the smartest of the past
few years.
Supporting the leads will be a
cast including Phyllis Sandin, Mae
Posey, Clara Christensen, Louren
Gilbert, Armand Hunter. Irving
Hill and Joel Epstein. The pro
duction is being directed by Miss
Alice Howell, head of the dra
matics department.
The play was adapted by Sidney
Howard from a French comedy by
Rene Fauchois, but has its setting
in New England with the charac
ters being natives of that region.
The excellence cf its dialogue and
construction of the plot makes the
play one of the outstanding come
dies to be produced by the players.
Action of the play centers about
a scramble on the part of art crit
ics and commercial buyers for a
number of paintings, which re
mained in the home of a country
physician after the death of the
artist. The canvases of Christopher
Bean did not become famous until
after his death, and he died in the
physician's home practically un
known. The daughter of the physician

Approximately seventy-five men

Applicants for positions in the

Lstenee of many other branches of
athletics depended.
"The whole athletic department
is proud of the Tassels." Schulte
concluded. "We believe they will
make this the greatest athletic
ticket sale Nebraska has even
seen."
Paralleling Coach Bible's plans
for his daughter to become a Tas
sel some day, Schulte disclosed
that he has a son who is already
intensely interested in the Corn
huskers, and whose foremost wish
at present is to secure a football
uniform. Just like the varsity
squad's, even tho his number
might have to be zero.
An interesting part of the pep
meetings, according to the various
coaches who have attended, is the
bashfulness exhibited by Sauer.
Lambertus. O'Brien, and Master
son, who know no fears in athletic
realms. The only reason advanced
to date is that "The Tassels have

FROSH REMINDED
THEY SHOULD DON
THEIR RED CAPS
First Year Men Have Shown
Lack of Spirit by Not
Wearing Emblem.
RULES TO BE ENFORCED
Wearing of Caps Would Help
Freshmen Unit as a
Class Group.
"A most outstanding lack of
school spirit has been noted on
tlic part of the male represent
atives of the freshman class in
their seeming disinterest in
wearing their freshman caps,"
according to John Gepson, member
of the Innocents society in charge
of freshman caps. "Although a
great many were purchased, very
few are being worn on the campus.
This refusal by some of the mem
bers is a reflection on the class as
a whole."
The Innocents society which
conducts the freshman cap sale,
last week established a set of rules
for the observance of the freshman
cap tradition which have gone un
observed by many. The same set
of rules as set down by this or
ganization is as follows, and it is
asked that they be observed:
1. Every male freshman shall
wear a freshman cap.
2. The cap shall be worn imme
diately after the freshman initia
tion and continuously thereafter.
3. Caps shall be worn at all uni
versity events, and on all school
dates except for week end dates.
4. Caps shall be removed at
such a date as the Innocents so
ciety shall designate and not until
then.
John Gepson, Innocent, and head
of the freshman cap sale, stated
that since the preserving of such a
tradition rests entirely with the
individual the whole hearted co-operation
of every member should be
uppermost in the mind of every
freshman. Gepson declared, "There
is really no reason why the fresh
men should not wear the caps, and
there are a great many reasons

CHEST CAMPAIGN
RECORDS REVEAL
'E
Faculty Heartily Supports
Community Project by
Donations.
STRIVE TO REACH GOAL
Chancellor Urges Response
To Demand for More
Subscriptions.
Following the lead taken in the
city of Lincoln in the community
chest campaign, the leaders of the
university teams have been obtain
ing excellent results during the
first three days of the drive.
The faculty members of the
community chest drive are divided
into seven teams, in the first regi
ment of Division D. Captains of
the seven teams are C. O. Sway
zee, team No. 210; H. C. Kock,
team No. 211; J. P. Colbert, team
No. 212; L. E. Gunderson, team
No. 213; H. J. Gramlich, team No.
214. and R. B. Scott, team No. 215.
Reports late yesterday afternoon
revealed that the half way mark
had been passed in striving for the
goal set for the drive. Results of
the employee divisions show that
on the average wage earners are
supporting the drive more vigor
ously than was the case last year.
The drive was undoubtedly given
impetus by a letter sent by Chan
cellor E. A. Burnett to members
of the faculty. "I consider the
Community Chest one of the most
worthy enterprises in the city in
caring for the needs of the poor
and unfortunate," he said. "The
university has always responded
well to the demand for subscrip
tions in aiding this enterprise."
"While I am aware that the sal
aries of people connected with the
university have been severely cut,
I hope you will feel impelled to
give as liberally as you did last
year, perhaps in some cases more
liberally. Our total contribution
should not be decreased," he de
clared. Pep Group to Again Be in
Charge of Program
Magazine Sales.
Corn Cobs, men's iipd fraternitv.
has obtained a new block of seats
in the staJium for the coming
games, according to Henry kos
man, president of the organiza
tion. The new section is located
to the left of the student color
section, on the east side.
The Corn Cobs will again have
charge of sales of the program
magazine, "Tales of the Corn
buskers," which will be edited by
Harold Petz, director of intra
mural sports. The program will
include several new features this
year, Petz stated.
Kosman urged contributions
from outside sources of ideas for
songs, rallies and cheers, stating
that they had already received a
song that promises to become pop
ular. The organization will appear in
a body U the rally Friday night,
which will be held at the Temple
building for the Texas game .

Drawing for Reserved Seats
Postponed Till Thursday
Afternoon at 5.
Tafscl athletic ticket sales
are over the mark set by the
early days of last year's drive,
but. because many students
have not had the opportunity
to purchase season books in the
intensive three day campaign, the
canvass will be extended until Sat
urday, it was learned at Wednes
day's noon pep meeting.
The first check of sales to date
shows 930 student tickets sold, as
compared with 400 in the first four
days of last year's campaign,
which lasted for almost three
weeks.
Hand in hand with the determi
nation to extend the sales until
Saturday was the decision to defer
the drawing for reserved seats un
til Thursday afternoon at 5. Altho
the lottery was scheduled for Wed
nesday, calls to the athletic office
from organized houses indicated
that many of the group had not
completed their arrangements.
Beginning their fourth day of
selling Thursday morning, the
Tassel organization will be aided
by booths, which have been placed
in Social Science, Andrews and
Law buildings and on the ag cam

Paramount among these arc
complaints by basic drill students.
Col. F. A. Kidwcll. in charge of

It has recently been called to the
attention of the university authori

have been conducting sales of vari

in the items mentioned were
apples, candy, popcorn, etc. Mer
chants complain that this cuts
down the revenue of legitimate
dealers and have requested that
the practice be discontinued.
The university does not sponsor
such policies, and in consequence
