"AT HOME."
Y. W. C. A. Will Entertain 8aturday
Afternoon.
Tne members of the Y. W. C. A. are
feeling very jubilant over the fact that
they are installed in their new rooms
in the Temple Building ,and have de
cided tq hold a jubilee.-.. The associa
tion consequently, will be at home to
all its friends Saturday atternoon from
3:00 tq 5:00 and Saturday evening
from 8:00 to 10:00, and an invitation
is-xtendea-toalIlIJnlversltypeopleto,
visit tho new rooms and Inspect them
at that time. The large .main room has
been made veuy attractive by the use
-of rugs-and-window-ourtaina-ln-har-i
monious colors, and heavy, mission
furniture. Two large reading tables'
have been presented to the association
by Miss Anne Rogers '.and Mr. W. J.
Bryan which correspond to thegrther
furniture of the rooms. The fact that
the furniture 1b entirely paid lor, or
will be by the end orthe.week 1b a mat
ter' of rejoicing, "which with the pleas
ure of being in the rooms will make
tho jubilee a doubly joyful occasion.
"You Never Can Toll," by George
Bernard Shaw tho erratic English
playrlght, Is the title' of tho play that
1b to bo tho big featuro for tho year
In the lino of dramatic work for tho
University. .'This play 1b considered
his wittiest and clevoroBt comody. In
feet some go so far as to class this
play as the cleverest modern comedy
in existence, and while It contains Ihe 1
marked disregard for conventionalities
that Shaw always brings out, it Is yet
free from tho more strongly unortho
dox Ideas generally expressed In his
plnys.
It was only after sovoral prominent
members of the faculty and students
had spoken about this play, and after
also a suggestion which appeared In
the Dally Nebraskan a fewdays ago
in regard to an article by a dramatic
critic of Ch&ago citing the faci that
the stage of America would have to
be elevated through the colleges of
the country, that the committee took
final action and- decidod to put this
play on.. Bernard. Sbaw ranks jrelth
writers of the type of Suderman, Ib
sen, Hauptmann Jand Maeterlinck, and
to present one of his best will be a
step forward in the direction of
progress.
The Dramatic club is particularly
fortunate this year in having mom
bers who will be ablo. to carry ojjf
the play with credit. It is to be
staged under the direction of Mis
Howell with the assistance of Mr. 0.
George Riedel, who will also bo qne

'Clandon, the exponent of woman's
suffrage; and the woman' of the
twentieth century, Gloria, wiube

as the football coach jn "The Colleg'e
Widow." will fill tho 'part of the re
markable waiter. Thia .part wbb car
