At tho meotlng of tho Student Pub lication Board yesterday afternoon the resignations trom tlio "Dally Nobraskan staff of M. A. MJlls, oditor-ln-chlef, C. E. Elliott, managing editor, and H. C. Itobertsop, business manager, were ac cented. These reslKnatlons will take effect at the cIobo of the present se mester. W. R. King was elected to succeed Mr. Mills as editor-in-chief and George M. Wallace was chosen for tho posi tion of business manager. The Nebraskan is badly In need of competent newspaper men now, and any student who aspires to become a Horace Greeley may secure work on the best college dally In tho West as a good starter. The position of managing editor and associate editors will bo filled later by elections. BERNARD 8HAW. An Innovation. Before his class in European history ProfeBBor F. M. Fllngyesterday intro duced an Innovation which greatly en hanced the interest In the work. Tho subject of the regular lecture vnfs"Mo dleval Architecture." To give prac; tical Illustrations of the development of the Gothic principle, Prof. Fling util ized a large number of steroptlcan views of French structuroB. In his ac companying talk he pointed out tho im portant features. Prof Fling 8tatedi prior to his lec ture that It was a fault of this uni versity that no proper place had been provided for using a steroptlcan In .connection with a "lecture which re quires note taking by students. A largo room should bo equipped with electric lights so that those could be switched on or off as the use of tho machine demanded. After tho show or party just drop into the Boston Lunch for a sandwich and a oup of coffee or an oyster stew. "You Never Can Tell" is a Good Type of the Modern Play. Sometime ago the Dally Neoraskan printed an article In regard to (he pro gress of the American stage, In which It was stated that tho opinion of ranny of the leading critics ngree that it is up to the Universities of the country to set a high standard of plays for the public. Of course It Is preposter ous to suppose that collego people can play aB well as professionals, but they can at least get at the fundamental principles of dramatic art, and Instead of catering to the cheap melodrama of the times, they can .pick out deeper subjects. No better case of this principle can be found than in the University of Chi cago, where for the past season "they of isben, Shaw;, Materjhn,jdrnany have been playing representative plays other of the modern draniatlsts. Theqe plays are put on with as much sincer ity and earnestness as any phase tin collego life for the modern writers Biich as arc classed with the above j men, are -all -writers on the deepest .and mpst important subjects of the ago. It Is to them thai the world has been looking for ideas. In fact many educators, agree that the cause of ho recent renaissance In thought andjthe awakening of tho public conscience even In America Is duo to the Influence of Isben and of the dramatists -who have followed In his footsteps. Bernard Shaw ranks with the high est of this school; and we may be particularly intereste'd In him, since ho Is the only one among them that writes in the English language. If there is one thing he can standi for supreme ly it is his remarkable humor, but in all his plays he has a sincere purpose at hand. Tho play MYou can never Toll," is perhaps his most unimportant play In that regard, for it was written' chiefly to get the effect 6f brlljlancy but oven In It you can see the careful- (Continued oa page. 3.) i i , -.
