the continued requests from both the

that their ability has been rightly up

concert tonight is the result.
In past years these evening concerts
have been an extremely popular stunt

tive Tells Local Girls' Club of
Meeting In Madison.
Tuesday morning Miss Mabel
Daniels gave to the University girls
a report of the Women's League con
vention, which was held in Madison,
Wis., the first week In May The
colleges which sent delegates to Mad
ison were Ohio, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri and Mich
igan, state universities also, Rock
ford, Northwestern and Washington
university in St Louis, Mo The
purpose of the convention was to
promote self-government in state
schools and to bind together univer
sity women in a co-operative associa
tion, thus aiding and benefiting stu
dent activities.
The majority of the school repre
sented were either promoting or had
already installed student government.
The restrictions in a large number
of the middlewest schools are greater
than those imposed nt Nebraska,
while in other schools practically no
restrictions are made in regard to so
cial activities. Conditions at Ne
braska seem to represent a "happy
medium."

cers." Since the announcement of tho
choice of this play for presentation on
Ivy Day much favorable comment has
been heard This play Is read regu
larly in the advanced French classeB
and those who have become familiar
with its sprightly lines and sparkling
humor are looking forward eagerly
to its presentation It Is a more am
bitious production than has ever been
attempted at any previous Ivy Day and
for that reason those interested in
raising the standard of dramatic pro
ductions in the University, are doing
all in their power to make it a suc
cess. The most capable cast the Dramatic
club could present is rapidly whipping
the play Into shape. Announcement
has already been made of the parts
that will be played by Elsie Peterson
and Don AhrenB. The two crotchety
old fathers will be played by Cloyd
Stewart and Guy Williams, both of
whom have demonstrated their ability
in dramatics. "Rockle" Amerman is
slated In a part that gives him full
opportunity to display his best line of
"funny stuff" The part of "Blaise"
will be played by H. J. Schultz and a
number of musicians, swordsmen, no
taries, etc , will afford the proper back
ground for the piece
Ralph Northrup has charge of stag
ing and costuming the play and lun
placed an order with Lieben. the Om
aha costumers, for a complete set of
costumes
Professor Grumann has been so
pleased with the selectioi of this play
that he is giving over convocation to
morrow to it, so that the ntudents
may have an opportunity to learn
more of the distinguished author of
"Chantecler," and may prepare them
selves for a more Intelligent apprecia
tion of the "Romancers" by learning
something of its historical setting.
