Innocents Society Notifies
35 of Election to
Candidacy.
Innocents, senior men's honorary
society, has sent out letters to 35
men telling them of their selection
to candidacy for the society at the
election of Apiil 7, according- to
Richard Schmidt, president. The
method of announcement has been
changed this year in order to give
those declared Ineligible a chance
to show that they are eligible.
The 35 men are those who re
ceived the most votes at the elec
tion, including both those eligible
and ineligible. If eligible the can
didate was asked to submit by to
morrow evening a list of activities
they have participated in. If in
eligible, the man was given the
reason and a chance to rectify the
mistake in case an error had been
made at the registrar's office.
In past years the 25 high men
have been announced in the Daily
Nebraskan, that list being final.
The new method has been adopted
as fairer, Schmidt said. Any man
who feels that he was among the
highest candidates and did not re
ceive a letter is requested to get
in touch immediately with an In
nocent or a member of the faculty
committee.
Contents of letters are to be
kept confidential. Candidates
finally chosen for membership,
usually numbering 12 or 13, will
be tapped on Ivy day, May 7. The
faculty committee includes Prof.
E. F. Schramm, interfraternity
council; Prof. C. J. Frankforter,
Innocents; Dean T. J. Thompson;

STAGE SHAKESPEARE
FESTIVAL 0E PLAYS
Dramatic Department Hopes
Bring History, Comedy
to University.
University stage patrons have a
special treat in store as the Studio
Players open a post season run of
Shakespearian plays beginning
Monday, April 27. The dramatic
department is sponsoring the
Shakespearian festival, which will
continue for the entirety of the
week with the hope of bringing be
fore the students of the university
a simple performance of historic
:lrama and comedy.
The three plays which will be al
ternated thruout the week Include:
"As You Like It," "MacBcth" and
"Merchant ot Venice." It is the
hope of the sponsors of the not
able repertoire of productions that
they are sufficiently successful to
justify inaugurating the week as
nn annual occurence, Miss H. Aiice
Howell head of the department of
Iramaties, said.
Altho the complete casts for the
productions will not be announced
until a later edition, early re
hearsals indicate that the studio
players arc offering its patrons
everything that they could hope
for in a university presentation of
the kind. Hart Jenks, who is with
the department this year as an
assistant, and who. has previously
starred in "Cyrano de Bergerac"
with the University Players, will
snact the role of Shylock in the
production of ''The ' Merchant of
Venice."

Wild Throws Give Oklahoma
Victory; Spurlock Holds
For Eight Frames.
Nebraska suffered her second
straight setback in the Big Six
baseball wars when two errors and
a home run by Pitcher Clark broke
up a tight ball game at Norman
Tuesday afternoon and gave Okla
homa a 6-3 victory.
Jerry Spurlock, Wilbur Knight's
ace left-hander, went the route
for Nebraska and gave up five
hits, only one thru the sixth in
ning. His mates got to Clark for
a pair of runs in the fourth and
another in the sixth to wipe out
one scored by Oklahoma in the
third.
The Sooner bats got 'to work in
the eighth and brought in a frame
of markers to even the count at
3-all.
The Nebraskans failed to con
nect in their half of the last in
ning, and Clark won his own ball
game by parking the ball out of
the lot after two wild throws had
put two men on base.
Spurlock had the "Indian" sign
on the Sooners up to the eighth
inning. His drop3 and fast-breaking
curves set them down one-two-three
until he weakened in the last
two frames. Score by innings:
Nebraska 000 201 0003
Oklahoma 001 000 0236

NEW YORK. (ACP). More than
350,000 students, high school as
well as college, are expected to
answer the anti-war strike call at
11 a. m. on April 22. according to
Joseph P. Lash, executive secre
tary of the American Student
Union.
"In addition to an impressive
sponsoring committee, we arc con
fident that the strike will be sup
ported on local campuses by wider,
more inclusive strike committees
than we have ever before been
able to rally," Lash said.
The first student strike against
war was held in 1934 and spon
sored by the National Student
League for Industrial Democracy.
It was supported by 25,000 stu
dents, but the next year saw
175. 000 demonstrating in nearly
200 schools and colleges. The cur

TRACKSTERS TRY
TD
IN RELAY EVENTS
'Pa' Schulte Sends Huskcrs
Thru Paces Preparing for
Drake Meet.
With the annual Drake Relays
as the objects of their efforts, the
Cornhusker track and field team
put in a full day's work Tuesday
under the critical eyes or coacn
Henry F. Schulte and his track as
sistants. A number of individual trial runs
were made in an attempt to lower
the various running times. Bob
Morris circled the track five laps
in 6:06.4 with Chet Beaver trail
ing his heels by a few yards. Bob
West ran the mile distance In
4:39.2. Running later, both Morris
and Beaver completed the 440 yard
distance in :55.5.
Racing for the fun of it, Lloyd
Cardwell beat out Harold Jacob
sen by a few scant yards in the
300 yard distance. "Cardy's" time
was 34 seconds.
Coach Schulte is planning on
taking a track team of twenty
men to the famed Drake Relays
with hopes of doing as well as
they did at Kansas last week.
Drake always draws the cream of
the crop in the realm of track and
field stars from all over the coun
try, and Nebraska will have its
stiffest competition of the year
there. Texas University, who beat
the Huskers out of several first
places at Kansas, is expected to at
tend the Penn Relays, which
should provide the Nebraska team
with more opportunities at Drake.
Wednesday, the Schultemen are
slated to go thru their paces again
in their final home workout before
they leave Thursday afternoon for
Des Moines. All Huskermen will
be suited up to participate for the
Wednesday workout, and final se
lection of the team that will go to
Drake will be made after the
workout.
ATHLETIC SUBSIDIZING
uF
Committee Chairman Marsh
Announces Topic of
General Interest.
Opportunity will be given stu
dents to voice their criticisms and
opinions of a topic of growing in
terest on university campuses
thruout the country, when the stu
dent forum meets on Thursday
morning of this week. The subject
which has been chosen by the Stu
dent council committee is "Subsi
dization of Athletes."
The forum is scheduled for 11:00
on Thursday at Temple.
The practice of buying outstand
ing members to take part in va
rious sports so as to improve the
calibre and success of the teams
is not a new subject on the Ne
braska campus. With the increas
ing popularity of this plan at
many universities, there has been
discussion of it here. Nebraska
has always been opposed to this
policy.
"This topic was chosen because
of its natural interest in the stu
dent body," stated Bill Marsh,
chairman of the committee in
charge of preparations. He added
that it was believed the forums
co.ild be made more Interesting if
subjects were taken which were
in closer contact to students than
those heretofore discussed, such as
the "New Deal," and others.

Fraternity and sorority members
can take a suggestion from Willa
Cather, famed Nebraska writer,
who could not concentrate when
others were making any noise, so
she had a leanto built against the
barn for her moments of study.
This incident with others are told
in an account of the authoress in

In this lean-to were a couch, a

She was among the first bobbed

SUBJECT, MISS MOTZ
TELLS JOURNALISTS
Theta Sigma Phi Members
Hear Review of Rebecca
Tasker's Article.
"A writer must know what he's
writing about," is the one admoni
tion emphasized by Mary Lou
Motz in her review at the meeting
of Theta Sigma Phi, women's pro
fessional journalism sorority, of an
interview with Sophie Kerr that
was printed in a recervi issue of
"The Matrix," official publication
of Theta Sigma Phi.
The article "Writing is not a
Game," which was written by Re
becca Scott Tesker, tells of the fa
mous fiction writer's views on how
to write successful. Sophie Kerr,
an honorary member of Psi chap
ter of Theta Sigma Phi, stressed
the, fact that problems must he
conquered by the writer herself.
She believes, according to Miss
Motz's report, that writing is hard
and that concentrated effort is
necessary.
Logical Fiction Required.
"It's absurd to use a background
or invent characters which are en
tirely foreign to all his experience"
Sophie Kerr states with regard to
what the young writer should
choose as a subject. "All details,
all facts presented must be
checked over for trouble. Incidents
from real life are, curiously
enough, usually very unreal when
put into fiction. Fiction must be
logical, inevitable and real life is
seldom either."
Miss Motz included a mention of
the two warnings issued by Sophie
Kerr: (1) "Propaganda in stories
is usually resented by the reader
and, (2) Be youself. If a writer
finds that she is imitating some
well known writer or group of
writers she should change her
reading. Quality must come from
within; it cannot come from with
out." "It is good for a young writer
not to be too egotistical. Tho she
has done her best writing and has
won honorable place, there will
still be Shakespeare, Milton, Cer
vantes. It is great to uim at the
stars: it is wise not to claim that
yon have dimmed them."
Appoint Committees.
As part of the business at the
meeting the president, Harriet
Rosenfeld, read excerpts from the
constitution of Theta Sigma Phi,
for the benefit of the new members
that were present for the first
time. She also told of the organi
zation's official publication and of
its founding.
Committees were appointed to
write feature articles on various
subjects of campus interest to he
sold to a newspaper. The proceeds
from these articles will help to de
fray expenses of sending a dele
eat'e to the national convention. of
j Theta Sigma Phi which is to be
jheld in the near future. Four were
appointed to each committee as

Studied in America.
In 1900 he gave up scientific
work and settled as a poor man's
doctor in Bermondsey, the poorest
industrial district In England. The
terrible living conditions that he
foud in Bermondsey led h'- to
take a interest in civic reform,
and later in national affairs.
Miss Aspinwall holds a B. R. E.
degree granted by Auburn School
of Religious Education at Auburn,
N. Y and has also done graduate
work at the University of Chicago.
"I became vitally interested in
the peace movement," she says,
"in connection with an R. O. T. C.
scrimmage at the University of
Nebraska some ten years ago.
When working with students at
the University of New Hampshire
I engaged in a long campaign to
establish the right of a conscienti
ous objector on that campus. 1
