Latest Improvements In Electrical
Motors
Mr. S. Rlebe of the Westinghouse
Electrical Company spoke before the
Engineering Society, Wednesday even
ing on "The Application on Modern
Electrical Apparatus In the Steel In
dustry." He showed stereoptlcon
views of, and explained the latest im
provements in, electrical motors. Mr.
Rlebe said, "Steel and electrical In
dustries are the most progressive of
the present day. However, they are
handicapped by enormous waste of bl
products. Machinery in the old coun
try is built on much more economic
lines. Foreign engineers stand aghast
when first viewing the Inside of our
enormous steel mills, at the waste of
material." Mr. Riebe explained in de
tail the construction and control of
the immense electrical motors which
are used In the steel industry and
pointed out their advantages over the
engine.

All Tickets Sold Within Two Hours
After Going on Sale Thrifty
Students Auction Off Tickets
st Advanced Prices
Tomorrow at 8:15 the curtain will
rise on the fourth annual University
Night. The three previous entertain
ments have been representative of the
life on the campus.
Every available seat was sold with
in two hours from the time the tickets
went on sale. One student was heard
to offer seventy-five cents for two
tickets yesterday afternoon when the
holder discovered that he would be
unable to attend. Four other tickets
were auctioned off in the Law College
yesterday morning for the sum of one
dollar. The only chance remaining tor
the unfortunate students will be the
gallery rush which Is scheduled to be
gin at six o'clock tomorrow. The seat
ing capacity up there Is four hundred,
while at least one thousand students
are planning to gain admission.
Miss Alice Day has offered to guar
antee fifty dollars to the Y. M. C. A.
in case her proposed matinee fails to
pay expenses, but the committee had
made no statement up to a late hour
last night. It is doubted whether they
will accede to her request.
The various acts which will com
prise the entertainment for tomorrow
night are in good shape. The commit
tee have approved of them and they
will be presented as planned on. Tiie
Law students have prepared an excep-

tionally good sketch, claiming it will
rival any of the famous acts presented
by them in former years. They will
again take up their annual discussion
of the relative merits of Dr. Maxey
and Professor Robbins and, for the
first time, will make a study of the
Nebraska Legislature. The other
airotrhA will he enuallv as good and
the entertainment on the whole will
be one to be remembered as typifing
the life on the campus of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
Dartmouth Men Are Efficient Swearers
In a recent Issue of the Dartmouth,
the Dartmouth college dally, an edi
torial appears against the profane curs
ing heard around the campus. One
can well imagine to what extent
'loose language" is Indulged In from
the statement that "were the nearest
woman twenty miles away she might
well blush at the temst of so-called
strong expressions with which the
men of the college greet a friend in
the street"
