Local folk dance festival
starts tonight at 7:30
The first Lincoln folk dance fes
tival will be held this evening at
Grant Memorial from 7:30 to
11:30. This is the first local folk
festival to be held in Nebraska,
altho the idea has been tried in
many of the other states.
Should enough people partici
pate in this first event, next year's
may be held in the coliseum.
This will be the seventh national
folk festival, given in Constitution
hall, Washington, D. C, at thia
time of year. These national fes
tivals attempt to have all the
states represented by dancers and
musicians of the various nationali
ties. The local festivals have de
veloped for those who cannot at
tend the national affair.
Emphasizes square dance.
This year the folk dance festival
will emphasize the square dances,
which are ao product of this re
gion ,and a part of the folk lore
of the midwest. The plan is that
all groups attending know all the
dances.
Thus the time will be spent in
dancing, rather than with teach
ing. The first hour will be turned
over to group dancing; following
this will be a demonstration of
the more difficult dances, not
known to the entire group; the
rest of the time will be spent in
more group dancing.
Civic orchestra plays.
Music will be furnished by the
Lincoln civic orchestra, directed
ty John Schildneck. Betty Jean
Horner will serve as pianist.
Guest will include Prof. H. C.
Filley, of the college of agricul
ture; Arthur Danirlson, caller for
the ag college square dance team;
and K. II. Polley, who will serve
as master of ceremonies. The com
mittee on arrangements is com
posed of Mrs. Fred Putney, Mrs.
Frank GH k, Morton Trast, Ruth-

Prof. Maurice H. Weseen, fac

of the extension division recalled
Wednesday.
Professor Weseen went on the
air with his program over the
university station WFAV on Dec.
4, 1924, and continued to broadcast
every Thursday evening at 7
o'clock for several years. He also
talked over WFAB and his course
attracted nation-wide attention.
Many schools set their class hours
in order to take advantage of the
program, especially those west to

ception was most favorable from
this area. Arrangements were even
made for students to register for
a two-hour correspondence course
carrying college credit in connec
tion with the program.
When Professor Weseen began
his courses in business English,
they were optional in educational
institutions if offered at all, says
Dr. Reed. Today such courses are
required in most institutions. An
active worker in the extension di
vision, Professor Weseen offered
correspondence courses in business
English during 1915-16 and began
evening courses in the same field
in 1922-23. His last evening class
closed Febr. 1, and because of his
ill health he did not continue the
work the second semester.

Movie keeps
fans in laughs,
in fact too many
An old vaudeville maxim, "Al
ways keep them laughing," was
followed too closely In a recent
Hollywood picture, and motion pic
ture producers discovered again
that it is possible to cause an au
dience to laugh too much.
The picture which had too many
laughs was "Road to Zanzibar,"
starring Bob Hope, Dorothy La
mour and Bing Crosby, now
showing at one of Lincoln's down
town theaters.
At a sneak preview of the film,
executives found that there were
too many funny places which ex
tended into too much of the story
carrying dialogue. So, in order to
enable audiences to keep up with
the story of the picture, they ac
tually had to cut 72 laughs from
the picture.

on the dubious side, and if Cantor
