Th Daily Pebraskan is the $tuieni piiWic.

attempts to express the best opinion of the student
body. While itt vietes may sometimes cttinetde
seith those of the administration, ther are not to
be taken me having either Us approval or disapproval.
The Kingpin
Is Down.
THE kingpin is down. 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.

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

sion of 'The Taming of the Shrew"
has drawn a hearty round of ap
proval this spring from those cities
that have been fortunate enough
to have a visit from this leading
duo. Batteries of oress material
have verified the fact that the play
still belongs to snaitetpeare, oui
from delightful rumors that have
broken, the production is decided
Lynn and Alfred. 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. It costs
approximately 1 1,350 to cover the
yearly expenses of each student
