Being phlegmatic verges onto being vegetable in an instiu tlon of so-called young inquiring minds. A good healthy rebellion is a marvelous tonic. But Oliver's new-born ordor flickered out as suddenly as it flamed up energy would be required in furtherance of a cause.

Amazingly enough the persons we talked to seemed most vol uble on strictly schoolish topics. The most unconventional sug gestion came from a very retined gentleman who advocated a one towel limit for men's wash rooms. The reform of least po tential benefit to society as a whole and greatest joy to the Individual was legalized liquor by the drink a student's de sired project. The most uncom plimentary was the admission of our favorite psychology pro fessor that he was strongly anti columnists. The collegians approached were intensely specific in thru' plotted crusades. One advocated straws in the booths at the Uni for impe cunious damsels to chew on. An other giii decried the prevailing concept of the gents of the school of suitable returns on their invest ment of an evening's entertain ment. She explained a certain sud den cooling of interest in one young man with: "That's what you get when you won't neck a Beta." A bit more study minded were two beaming boys. One be-moaned the pleasant pedagagues who don't give makeups because "they aren't fair to the rest of the stu dents.'' Another lad had a case against apple-polishers. "In the first place they're disgusting, and in the second place those not so very good at it don't have a chance. The fairer sex have the advantage they are more persua sive. There aren't enough wom en profs to count for us poor men." You Can't Make 'Em Mad. But three popular instructors, with "Dr." fronting their names, proposed much-needed intellec tual crusades.

Nickname of Nebraskan, 'Rag', Originated in 90's Campus Daily Started as Rival of 'Hesperian Student.' By Marjorie Churchill. By staff members and aspiring reporters It is reverently desig nated "The Dailv Nebraskan." To its readers it is "The Rag." Origin of the latter phrase lies, not, it must be hastily explained, in any reference to lack of color or limp ness of style, but in a nickname acquired in the 90'a which has ad hered until the present day. "The Nebraskan," a weekly paper, first burst upon an unsus pecting but highly appreciative public as a rival of "The Hes perian Student," the earliest regu lar publication. Its nickname, Riley's Rag after one of It edi tors, "Rag Riley" (Frank T. Riley of Kansas Cityf soon became "The Rag." and so it has been called un til the present day.

PHI BETA KAPPAS HEAR SHIER ALK AT BANQUET AILY Student Newspaper LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, Traffic Drama of King Lear Unfolds on Hart Jenks, Richard Rider, Helen Ames Take Bows in' Difficult Play. By Barbara Rosewater. Thru mazes of declamatory speeches, swordplay, and snarling trumpets, the Shakespearian trag edy of the mad King Lear wound its difficult way last night on the stage of the Temple, with occa sional flashes of brilliance. Hart Jenks in the leading role gave an understanding interpretation to the breakdown and madness of a piti ful old man. If his performance was not so worthy of note as his work in Hamlet earlier in the week, his acting was sustained and in the best Jenks tradition. The player who caried the show, however, was Richard Rider, as the Earl of Kent, loyal servant to the king. Rider's blunt, vigorous MRS. CULLAM STRESSES IMPORT JOKING TIME City Y. W. C.

"Time, like money, can be budgeted," stated Mrs. Cullam who has always been interested in the organization and who is at present board member of the city Y. W. C. A. People should learn to focus their interests. Their activities should be limited and balanced but their interests should be wide. "Know the joy of creating," sug gested Mrs. Cullam. "Keep grow ing. Exposing one's self to new experience is fun. Growth means change and we should not be afraid to accept changes." 400 STUDENTS HOLD FARMERS' FAIR RALLY Gramlich, White, Hedlund, Talk on Problems of Annual Event. Four hundred Ag college stud ents rallied Thursday evening in Ag hall, in preparation for the nineteenth annual Farmers' fair to be held May 7 and 8. Pat Beachell, master of cere monies, introduced Prof. Gramlich of the Animal Husbandry faculty, who gave a short speech on the success of previous fairs and the importance of co-operation of the entre student body to make the impending fair a success.

Twelve students presented a Swedish folk dance, previewing the folk dancing program which will be given in conjunction with the presentation of Elsie Buxman, goddess of agriculture, Saturday, May 8.

Helen Lawrence Ames easily won all feminine laurels by her graceful restraint in portrayal of Cordelia, Lear's youngest daugh ter. As the king s witty and high strung fool, Delford Brummer jittered about the stage, making the most of an intriguing part, and garnering more than a few laughs from the audience. Paul Bogan grimaced villain ously at Walter Stroud who played the opposite type that of medi eval hero. Smith Davis, in the role of the effeminate Oswald, proved sufficiently despicable, as did the two arogant sisters, Lois Lehigh and Helen Rice.
