IRELAND HEADS CHGRUS Committee Picks Manuscript From Six Submitted in $50 Prize Contest. 'Kiss Colombo," a musieal comedy written by Art Wolf, was named Monday as the prize-winning entry iiv Kosmct Klub's spring show contest, ac cording to Tom Davies, Kosmet Klub president.

The Spanish court in 1492 is the setting for Wolf's story, which is a sattire on the famous historical incident.

Dr. Ralph Ireland, Lincoln den tist, will direct the pony chorus for hia seventh Kosmet Klub show, according to announcement issued simultaneously by members of the Klub. Dr. Ireland has played in several New York musical come dies and vaudeville acts, and has been responsible for the excep tional men's choruses that has ap peared in previous shows. Wolf's manuscript was selected from a field of six plays by a com mittee composed of Charles Gallo way, Owen Johnson, Henry Kos nian, and Charles Steadman. "Be cause every play submitted was unusually good," Galloway de clared, "the Klub had difficult time making their final decision." The play provides for novel singing and dancing numbers, which will be written to fit the script. Tryouts for parts in the show will be held at the Temple theater on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 7 o'clock. The play re quires thirteen principal characters and two pony choruses will swell the cast to thirty-three persons. All cast members will be chosen from male students appearing in the tryouts.

CAUSES SCHOONER 10 APPEAR ONE DAY LATE Literary Magazine's Winter Issue Goes to Stands Next Wednesday. Because of delay at the univer sity print shop The Prairie Schoon er's late winter issue will not be placed on campus and down town news stands this morning as was previously announced. This edi tion of the campus literary publi cation which the editors have termed as "going popular," will be obtainable on the tables in Social Science and Andrews either late Wednesday morning or in the aft ernoon of that day. Because this issue has catered more than formerly to the student taste in current literature the in dividual sales and subscription campaign has been taken over by Gamma Alpha Chi, women's adver tising sorority. According to Prof. L. C. Wimberly this issue contains two articles of especial interest. One is a short biography of Gov. Roy L. Cochran by Saar Erickson, court reporter for the Lincoln Star, and the second is Dwight Perkins' humorous story on Santa Claus's gift of a dozen live Russians to the Vodding family. In ths present drive to increase the Schooner subscriptions, the magazine s business staff headed by H. P. Behlen, is launching a circular letter drive. This cam paign is twofold, Behlen stated. The first division of 650 letters which went into the mails last night was distributed among the leading university libraries of the nation, the state public libraries not already subscribing, and the university faculty on this campus. In the second group, numbering 3.500 letters, the Schooner will be offered to Lincoln people, most of whom are university alumni, along with the Nebraska Alumnus. In this form letter, which was drawn up by Ray Ramsay, alumni secre tary, and Mr. Behlen, the Prairie Schooner is being offered on a joint basis with the Alumnus at the same price at wnlch the latter was formerly sold. NINE STUDENTS TRY . Scholarship Winner to Announced at April Convocation. Be Nine students of the classics competed in the examination for the . Grove E. Barber Classical Prize held last Saturday morning In Andrews hall, according to Prof. Clarence A. Forbes, member of the faculty committee in charge. The announcement of the winner of the prize, which award amounts to about $90, will most likely be with held until the Honors Convocation in April, he stated Monday. The contest, made possible by Grove E. Barber, professor of the classical languages, who died sev eral years ago after a long period of service here at the university, was based on the sight translation of Latin. In his will he bequeathed the sum of $2,000 for the purpose of establishing this award. Be cause of delays in clearing up the document, this year's competition is the first of its kind, and it is hoped that the contest will become a life long tradition in the univer sity. According to the investment, the sum of the prize will increase each year. The faculty committee who will select the prize winning paper con sists of Professors Forbes, and O. W. Reinmuth of the classics de partment and Prof. T. M. Raysor. chairman of the English depart ment. Each year the subject mat ter may be chosen by the commit tee on one of the classical lan guages.

"The mere training of the individual in social behavior in the home might be of some benefit, but in my judgment would no more solve the problem of habitual criminology than the problem of malaria eonld be eontrolled by precept." With thin analogy, James M. Reinhardt. associate professor of sociology. expressed nis Dasic reacuun iu ou article divulging tne remedies ioi the suppression of crime given by a "lifer" at Wisconsin state prison, who is also taking an extension course in social problems at the state university. Declaring that the drive against crime will always be futile because it cannot prevent criminality at the source, this convict student ad vocates "education and training which would take place in the home, the Sunday school, and high schools.'

REGENTS ALTER NAME Change Simplifies Matters in Presenting Department Courses. The applied mechanics and en gineering drawing department of the engineering college will have its name changed to the engineer ing mechanics department some time in the future, according to reports from the office of Prof. W. L. DeBaufre, department head. Permission for the change was granted Saturday by the board of regents. Object of this change, Prof. DeBaufre explained, is to simplify matters in presenting the depart ment's courses. "In view of the fact that changes in the nature omi namoa nf these basic engineer ing courses will probably be made in the near ruiure, ii was cuuaiu ered that this new designation would be to advantage," stated Mr. DeBaufre. tury behind the walls, and with little previous education, has now educated himself thru extension courses. Continuing in his refutation of this Inmate's beliefs, Professor Reinhardt commented that a num ber of studies made suggest that the types of homes and Sunday schools from which a large pro portion of criminals come are the product of social and economic conditions which lie beyond their control. Thus these home condi (Continued on Page 2.) ENGINEERING DIVISION on the coliseum court Monday eve ning. After a wild and furious first half that had the audience, the referees, and tho players wonder ing where the ball would go next, Coach Browne's hitherto almost luckless cage artists came back in the second period of the struggle to increase a 10-0 margin nt tho lunchtime recess to an 8-point loud when the final gun proclaimed that the melee was over for the night. Some 3,000 Scarlet followers watched the personnel of both teams throw the bull everywhere; except the spot where they wore looking, and chase the cavorting and elusive sphere ull over tho floor in a first half fracas which was almost lost in a whirl of dizzy spinning from one player to an other in an unallowable maze. Both quints settled down somewhat in the last half and exhibited a fairly acceptable brand of play. It was the first win for the Brownemen since the victory over Denver university last January. The Huskers at present still re pose in the Big Six tailend spot, but with victories over Iowa Stale Saturday evening at Ames and Kansas State at Lincoln March 2, and with an even break that Mis souri may lose a struggle in the in terim, the Scarlet aggregation has a numerical possibility that the Scarlet basketeers may emerge from the conference race at the end of the season in a higher rung on the ladder. Oklahoma started the scoring business of the engagement, Nel son pushing in a one-handcr from the circle in the first minute of play. But Whitaker, Parsons, and Widman caged four and the Scar let took an 8-2 lead midway in the period.
