' f; FORM MINSTREL CLUB ELEVEN MEN ORGANIZE FOR PROMOTION OF THI8 TYPE OF DRAMATIC COMEDY. OVEN NAME OF "SPHARO STYX" Announces That Show Will Be Pre sented Early Each Fall With Ca6t Composition Open to Entire School. The formation of a new university club for the promotion 01 (iruimitlCH In general and of vaudeville and min strelsy specifically was made known yesterday when Spharo Styx, as it is named, gave out the names of its charter members. They are Ed Pettis of Lincoln, Leonard P. Finley of Wy more, Otto Zumwinkle of Utica, Rus tsel F. Swift of Lincoln, Russel Israel of Omaha, Silas Bryan of Lincoln, Herbert Reese of Randolph, Fred L. Babcock of Columbus, Harry C. Gel latly of Lincoln, Kenneth M. Snyder of Lincoln, and Fred Archibald of McCook The purpose of the new organiza tion as announced is to give a high class vaudeville and minstrel show each fall before the general opening of school activities, acting .tas the backer and promoter and making the cast open to the entire school. The show to be given the coming fall is being prepared by the club with the assistance of Professor Prince of the University School of Music, who has been elected as an honorary member. Present plans include handsome prizes for suggestions made by the school at large, which can be used to advantage. Up to several years ago, Nebraska has always had a minstrel Bhow on the yearly schedule and high-class minstrels appeared to be popular. However, the last two years the idea has been abandoned for lack of back ing. The organization of Spharo Styx is welcomed by many as the renewal of this old-time tradition. The Peru Club will meet Saturday evening, Mny 24, with Professor and Mrs. Brownell, 2627 P street. Life jogs on once more In Its time worn routine. We no longer wait in constant anticipation of the "movie" man and no longer does the rain de scend daily in sheets and torrents. Yet reviewing the past week of per petual excitement, rain anticipation and constant down-pours, one is In clined to decide it might have been worse and had after all some real redeeming features. A $1.98 raincoat covers Innumerable defects, looks quite "chic," and saves the price of a new spring outfit. A cadet suit bridges in exceedingly well between seasons, is in proper condition (fol lowlpg inspection week), Is attractive and at least during the week past al ways appropriate.

This is tho impression that has leaked out lrom the few cele brities that have been allowed to wit ness the rehearsals, that are being Ik Id now as often as twice a day. Ivy Day found tho principals at work in the Temple in the morning while the entire cast reported for duty at the Oliver in the afternoon. The same schedule is to be adopted for the next two SatUrdayH anU-SninlujH that pi cieftv-y-MlUiig nf Ihe Belts whn . etlfc. cede the final presentation of "PillarB of Society," Thursday, June 5, and If the faculty grant any more holidays, Miss Howell expects to use them for the purpose of adding the finishing touches to Ibsen's great dramatic piece. Some confusion has arisen on tho campus because of tho announcement that the Senior play was to be pre sented on Thursday night, Instead of a Friday or Saturday night as is re quired by the Committee on Student Organizations. The following an nouncement, however, from Miss En sign, secretary of the committee, will probably clear the situation: "At a meeting of the Committee on Student Organizations held Aprl! 17, the request of the Senior play com mittee to schedule the Senior play on Thursday, Juno 5, was granted. "The play was scheduled soro months ago for Saturday, June 7. The request" for the change to tho 5th was granted since a recent action of tho University Senate closing school two days earlier than the date published in the calendar made June 7th an undesirable time to present the play." Chorus Will Give "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" at Chapel Tuesday The University chorus at Tuesday's convocation will sing "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" by Coleridge Taylor. The song is in three parts and is a choral rendition of Longfellow's famous Indian poem. Reuben Walt will be the soloist. The convocation will he in the Temple. TWO INNOCENTS OMITTED. Much to the regret of The Daily Nebraskan a printer's error, omitted the names of John L. Drlscoll and Chandler Trimble from the announce ment of Innocents yesterday. On account of tho damp day the girls of the Normal Training class held their picnic in the gymnasium parlors, instead of at Cotner woods as previously planned. All the girls say they had a great abundance of eais ana run, ana a splendid ball game afterward. It might be termed a din ner, dance and slumber party, as 'dur ing tlie ball game one of the girls went to sleep on first Delts Clout Betas; Sophs Do Not Show Up For Game With Freshmen Baseball on the homo lot yeBtorday was composed of inter-fraternlty games and a practice gamo for tho Freshmen.

SICK FRIEND CAUSES HURRY That Is, "Ridge" Gives Such a Reason For His Rude Haste to Get Away From the 8pot. III HDite of tho hnnHt of Mm otv nf l.lnrni., that It In free from rHmo, and has no need for tho majestic of- llcor of the law, there is foundation for tho statement that Bomo things do occur at night which indicate tho presence of terrible midnight marau ders. According to a Senior foroster one Is unsafe traveling alone on tho streets of Lincoln at night. Ridgloy Chaplin, colloquially termed "Ridge," "Jib," or "Chance," had a hairbreadth escapo from danger tho first part of tho week. Tho secret has just been extracted from tho re luctant victim. Tho "hold-up" oc curred whilo Mr. Chaplin was return ing homo from a visit to tho homo of a young lady who resides in East Lin coln. While traveling at a rapid rate along Twenty-sixth street, whistling blithely to keep up hiB courage, ho chanced to pasB an old barn on shrouded in gloom. Now Ridge denies that ho was scared when he saw an arm out stretched from the shadow of the bam to seize him, and when ho heard a voice thunder, "Hold on a minute!" The reason he found himself four blocks away about ten seconds later was that ho was in a hurry to get homo aa ho had promised to "meet a fellow." Also what was tho use "sticking around there all night?" After going some distance, tho man who had been somewhat hurried, sat down to rebt a moment. Becoming cool and collected onco more he de cided to display thut bravery and in trepidity which has stood him In good stead on so many forestry ex peditions into unexplored wilds. With this thought in mind our hero strode back to the scene of the hold-up to grapple with his asBailant, having seized a smull post to assist him in battling with the enemy from out of the night. The highwayman was leaning against a convenient telephone post aa the dare-devil Claude Eclalro ap. proached. Horor and amezement were both depicted upon "Jib's" features as the villain, waving a welcoming hand, called out, "Shay, pardner, have yuh gotta match?" 'Twas only a gen tleman who had dined too well! The girls of the eleven o'clock base-' ball team went to the athletic field to play yesterday" and were surprised to find that tho "movie man" was there to take pictures of the most In teresting 'parts of the game. They also took pictures of the" high. Jump executed by. MarJeM .Clark. 1 i? i i 'I a V .;. V 1 ' '"V r y j ' L - t Jft &jf ' "i .. -v 1 , v -
