" Every loyal student who can pos sibly do so should attend the concert of the University of Nebraska cadet band at the Oliver theator Thursday evening. The band is deserving of your patronage and besideB it is a university institution that is not prop erly appreciated by the students as a whole. There will be sixty in the band-and-among-tho number are some excellent musicians. They have been under the direction' of August "Hage now all year and probably make up the best band in tho state. The program is composed of high class muBlc, although 'some very pop ular pieces have been prepared for encores. fAll the encores are light and well known. Among the numbers oh the program are selections from tho famous Bohemian opera, "Tho Bartered Bride," by Smelana. All the ballotmuBlcfrom the opera "Faust" will bo played. It conslsti ofevenj parts. Tho overture, "The Mill on the Cliff," is another excellent num ber. One of tho features of the program is to bo tho humorous contest, which Professor Hagenow guarantees will never bo forgotten by those who see it Tho state legislature and state of ficers havo boon invited and moBt of them havo said they would be delight ed to attend. It 1b expected that the concert will be a success from every point of view. COMMITTEE AGAINST REMOVAL REPORT OF 'ALUMNI DOES NOT FAVOR TAKING COURSE TO OMAHA. - A committee of alumni of tho university-medical college, which was re cently appointed to investigate tho proposition to remove more of tho courso to Omaha, has just submitted a report to tho members of tho legis lature. Tho committee takes a de cided stand against the removal. Its rep'ort in full is as follows: , May we call your attention to tho following facts 'relative to l the pro posed removal of tho second two years of the six year course of the medical college to Omaha? Tho university now offers a six year medical course; four years being giv en 'on the campus -in Lincoln, the lat ter two years with the affiliated cor porate school in Omaha. Is the proposition to remove two of the four years now in Lincoln to Om aha and to ask the legislature to 'be gin the building of an extensive med ical college and hospital in Omaha a wise 'one? No! Why? First tfhe university charter would require amendment. , ;" Second This would be the first step' ia the dismemberment of the unlver- slty-nd-l-bad-'-precedent-where- wouia 'it atop? . Third-7It would weaken administra tion and add greatly to tho expense thereof. Fourth Tho department of bactorl ology, hiBtology, pharmacology, anat omy, physiology, embryology, chemis try, etc., etc., would havo to be dupli cated at a minimum maintenance of $50,000. Fifth It would destroy student as sociation with other departments of the university. Sixth Tho four years of tho medi calcouraonow given Ju Lincoln aro Wholly satisfactory and the instruc tion has gained a high national and International standing. Seventh Fewer students go to Om aha from Lincoln to completo their medical course each year. This is evidenced by tho following figures: In 1902, Omaha had 152 studonts; Lincoln, 15. ,In 1911, Omaha has 19 studonts; Lincoln, 165." Eighth If moved to Omaha the col lego will cost ultimately not leBS than $100,000, with a minimtim biennium maintenance of $150,000. Present de partment at Lincoln doing good work on an annual budget of $20,012. Ninth There 1b nothing to move from Omaha to Lincoln, but many ox pensive laboratories now in Lincoln and fully equipped would need to bo duplicated in Omaha. Tenth The present divided medical course is unsatisfactory and all con cerned agreo that it must bo discon tinued. With four years given in Om aha and tho first two years of our six -year-courBe-givonJinLlncolnallyI(l- eu scnooi win sun be maintained.' Eleventh We believe in a united university where all departments, lit erary and scientific, aro grouped on one campus and aro under the direct supervision of tho chancellor and of one executive and administrative force. This gives tho state the great est efficiency at minimum cost. J. S. WELCH, IRVING S. CUTTER, E. W. ROWE, E. C. B. WOODARD, Committee of Alumni, Uni. of Neb. SENATE INDORSES NEW PLAN TURN8 DOWN IRON-CLAD RULE IN REGARD TO INYERCOL. LEGIATE EVENTS. At a recent meeting of tho univer sity Benato tho motion formerly made by a member of tho faculty that all intercollegiate contests must be hold on a Friday or Saturday evening was considered and decided not to bo prac tical. , It had been referred to tho committee on student organizations with several additional members. Tho reason for not adopting it was that it is sometimes impossible to always have everything on those two nights, as they are coveted by other univer sities as well. The motion was somewhat modified and now in substance is that no games or dobatos may bo scheduled without tho consont of tho chancellor, which will undoubtedly bo given if good nnd sufficient reasons are advanced. The object is to keep tho other four nights as free as possible in order to give tho Btudent a chance to study without having anything to distract his atten tion. Nobraska has boon most for tunate in this respect during tho pres ent year and few contests havo taken place on other nights than Friday or Saturday. Tho departmental clubB enmo in for serious consideration and it was deemed udvlsnble to havo those moot, so far as posslblo, tho last two nights. In tho week. Theso clubs nro tho closest to tho faculty of any and it Is tho deBlro to mako them as groat an aid as possible. On somo occasions neither time would be advisable be causd. special speakers can bo so cured for other nights. Consequently these organizations, which do not Lwant to moot on either of theso nights, havo boon asked to submit tholr reasons to tho committee on student organizations with a viow to adjusting tho matter. There aro about twenty of those clubs in tho university with a mem bership from twenty to forty-five. This means, on a conservative estimate, that at least two hundred nro taken from tholr study on one night of tho week. ANOTHER OUT FOR CURE raOWATCrrGUJtFOItTreAE8PHT1 GAMMA DELTA FOR RHODE8IA. Howard Gullfoil, Phi Gamma Delta, was yesterday Btrickon with smallpox and removed to tho isolation hospital. LaBt evening ho was though to havo a rathor sovoro attack.

ROSTAND'S "CHANTEGLER" ALLEG0RYH1HN LIFE FILLED WITH BRILLIANT EXPRE8 8I0N8 AND 8YMPATHY. THE (iREAT fARMYARD DRAMA JPJCt-PjiimdjvLJSjmyMatlonjaQesDfiBPi. Into the Purpose, Meaning and Construction. Ono of tho lnrgost audiences of tho year greotod Dr. Loulso Pound at con vocation yesterday. Miss Pound's subject was "Chantoclor." This is tho farmyard drama by tho groat French author, Edmund Rostand, which has created so much comment during tho paBt fow months. Tho principal char actor Is half heroic .and half farcical, and dominates thq, drama. Dr. Pound characterized tho play as having nlmoBt diabolical brilliance of expression, flambuoyant oloquonco, tho characters havo inspired declara tion, thoro Is a reigning sangulno spirit, alternating with cynicism, thoro nro whimsical witticisms and digres sions, outbursts of onthusiasm, un govornablo levity counteracted by " paBsages of doop feeling, and yot tho play has as it fundamental olomonts human sympathy and human bravado. Then, too, tho play abounds in pass ages poetically boautiful. B Aw AlfFgory; "" While tho play is readablo enough In. tho English prose, in tho pootry ot tho French original it is dazzling. RoBtand handles languago as a virtu oso. Ho meant tho play to bo viewed as an allegory. In his own words, ''It. Is tho drama of human endeavor grappling with life." Tho control theme of "Chantoclor" is -the experi ence of a being, his porplexities and distractions, who bolleves that he has, a real vocation, a groat work to do; tho advancement of somo groat cause, and who loves passionately thlB chos en vocation. To Chantoclor his career and his success mean every thing. Following tho fundamental idea is preaonted tho thought that al though the daily effort of such a be ing may not actually bring tho dawn, as ho believed, it did proclaim it to a sleeping world. Chantoclor discovers in tho last act that tho dayliKht comoB, though ho has not summoned it wltn his -call. But even when tho discovery has been made, ho must obey the impulse and work. These aro easily tho keyBtone thoughts of RoBtand's play. The Scene. r Tho 'first act is devoted solely to tho portrayal of. the character of the, , title role. Ho Is shown aB a self-confident and reliant, conscious only of himself, of his impulse to sine and what he believes it accomplishes. "A clever prologue explains the day as Sunday, and you hear the farmer's wagon starting for. the fair, so the animals are left alone. The animals are talking of the socrot of Chante- cler's song. A pheasant hen comes in, chased by a dog. and Js rescued. The pheasant, too tries to get Chante- oler to tell the secret of hli song. Sho represents woman, modern, Inde pendent, exacting, jealous that he is devoted first to his work. The second act Is on wild hillside .. at night. The fclghtbirds are conspir ing against Chantecler. Thev hate, . him as they dos the day he heralds. .TheyJntlipltimiioUfLfflilnML, -Continued on Page 4 II
