A survey of the athletic activities of Big Six schools reveals that Ne braska this year has succeeded in annexing only one championship. The swimming team was the only aggregation strong enough to best the stiff competition offered by the other five schools in tht conference. Various factors have entered in this rather poor showing. Complaints have been voiced against the way some of the teams have been coached. In other sports, it was a lack of men, while in still others ineligibility cut a wide swath in the ranks. Rather than making excuses, however, and be grudging the victories of her sister schools Ne braska should be proud to acknowledge her defeat by superior teams. It shows a fighting spirit within the conference. The spoils this year were divided along differ ent lines than they generally are. Kansas State went home with her first football championship of any sort Oklahoma came thru with her first out door track victory In many luoons. Nebraska, gen erally exceedingly powerful in these two sports, could come out no better than second and third. This, looking at it from the standpoint of the whole conference, would seem to be rather a I I m ' ' III S.V i . I haalthv altiiatlnn. Nebraska. alWftVS DOWerful in football and track, received the plaudits of the na tion regardless of the showing made in other sports by the other conference teams. One sports commentator during the football season stated something to the effect that the name Cornhusker was used to frighten little children in other Big Six states. While the implication is obviously exag gerated, it is true that Nebraska was receiving more than her fair share of fame and glory. Now that things have been evened up a bit, it will undoubtedly make for better spirit and sport within the Big Six. Nebraska, recently inclined to be a bit cocky over her successes, has by now surely lost all traces of conceit and will be down with the rest of the teams earnestly fighting for a place at the top. It is no more than natural that the Ne braska campus should wish its teams to win, but it takes an occasional sound licking to keep a school's vanity from going beyond all bounds. "UESDAY afternoon the ROTC held a parade. 4 'Voluntary Parade.' -tuesd Other departments attempted to hold classes In some cases attendance dropped 60 percent (on the eve of examinations). Attendance at the parade was, according to au thority, "purely voluntary." However, instructors of regularly scheduled university classes were re quested by cadets to sign excuses permitting them to attend those self same regularly scheduled classes, and thus excusing them from an entirely "voluntary" attendance at the ROTC parade. It should be noted that no excuses were forthcoming from the military department for the cadets who missed their regular classes. Are we to assume that the offer of two hours extra military credit for attending the parade is an incentive for attendance at regular university classes? Student officers are ordinarily fined 50 cents an hour for missing such parades. This rule was temporarily suspended for the parade, altho this knowledge was withheld from the officers, be ing reserved as a happy surprise until after the "voluntary" parade. Such a situation might be more easily tolerated if It were an educational function of an educational department But being, as It indubitably is, mere militaristic ballyhoo, it is extremely hard to swallow. This is the feeling not only of onlook ers but has been vigorously expressed by certain cadets and student officers. A decision at which university authorities must eventually arrive is whether we are to have a university as an educational institution or ss an adjunct of an overbearing war department. J. R.

CMAMTS BY CHANCE, If there was dissatisfaction with the Pulitzer prize award this spring (and wasn't there tho) peace has been restored somewhat by the bestowal of the New York Drama League's medal for the best individual performance of the season on Miss Katherine Cornell for her portrayal of Juliet The actress-manager packed the Martin Beck theater in the Broad way sector for three months with as superb a production of the Shakkespearean tragedy as New York has seen for many a de cade. Carefully cast with many of New York and London stars sup porting her; thoroly directed by her producer-husband Guthrie Me Cllntle; beautifully designed by one of the foremost of our Amer ican Dengners-Jo Meilziner, the production came as near being the essence of perfection as the mod ern theater has boasted. At least that is the humble opinion of one member of the Nebraska staff who saw the play during the Christmas recess. Nor was the venture unprofit able in the least according to the reports from the managerial of fice of the McCUntic firm. Altho Miss Cornell expected to accept a loss on the play this year, her au diences were so insistent that she continue that before the profit able run was ended, in favor of a revival of "The Barretts of Wim pole Street" some two hundred and fifty thousand dollars had passed thru the wire wicket. Did someone say something about a depression! Or that the theater was dead f. Or that Shake speare had no appeal? Speaking of Shakespeare, the theatrical dispatches of late have been laden with notices of plans for next season. Top names are proudly announced for road pro ductions of a variety of the Bard plays: The Cornell company will be on the road, and what is espe cially heartening to Nebraskana is the announcement that Omaha Is tentatively on the route for the winter showing! As mentioned several weeks ago Philip Merivale will be seen in "Othello" and "Macbeth" with Gladys Cooper, one of London's more brilliant rep resentatives of a brilliant theatri cal family, as the leading lady. Mr. Menvale has had a varied career, varied in characterizations that is. Several years ago be was Hanibal in Robert Sherwood's "The Road to Rome:" later he played Death in "Death Takes a Holiday;" last season he played the hearty Earl of Bothwell in lfv'..

This version will take the road again in the fall, ar riving in the Guild theater in time for the Christmas Holiday throngs. And of ourse this will be a must for the more ardent playgoers. A Hamlet that has been start ling English drama fans from their quiet routines is that acted by John Gielgud, a comparative new comer on the British scene. Mr. McClictic Is in England now mak ing the preliminary offers for the Broadway showing of this version, but as yet no dotted lines have been signed, nor fluttered press reports released. All of which brings ut back to the fact that Final Examinations are just around the corner; and that a few of us are still bemoan ing the fact that we bought that excess supply of spring clothes at vacation time. The top-coat feels prettv swell even this twentieth of the month! However there are still Summer Theater Plans to be discussed, but not this morning. Rules are rules at Ohio State university (Columbus). There was a big blaze in the women's dormitory there, and fire men found the charred end of a clgaret at the spot where the fire began. But the university rules say there can be no smoking in the dormitory. A nice problem. So the official report attributes the fire to a "clgaret which blew into the building." Vassar college (Poughkeepsie, N. V.) is considered to be the most expensive of the women's col leges in the United States.
