' "The Bartered Bride," and
"The Mill on the Cliff."" "
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.

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.

THE (iREAT fARMYARD DRAMA

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.
