Ttaa eneaeement of Esten Cook, En- Hnrln.

The cast, accord ing to Miss Heppner, Ib doing good work and it is expected that the play will be a success in every way. The synopsis of the play is as fol lows: Elizabeth, who as an orphan, lived with Baron Rockwitz and his wife, Bettlna, has married Wiedmann, a poor teacher without prospects for ad vancement, because she had been con scious of a growing love for Rockwitz. For three years this marriage has prospered as well as could be expected although Elizabeth feels, that she has sacrificed herself and continues to nurse her sacred grief. Under Eliza beth's management a better and more prosperous life has been established. Conscious of Elizabeth's acquaintance with Rockwitz, school inspector, Orb, a climber, tries to ingratiate himself with Elizabeth who, with his wife, comes to visit the Wledmann's. Rock witz has not given up his designs on Elizabeth and proposes to Weidmann that he become the manager of one of his estates. In a series of scenes, Elizabeth's re lations to Wiedmann's children are portrayed. She is particularly fond of his blind daughter, Helene, who is in love with Daugel, a young teacher. whose ambition It is to become a teacher of the blind. The reason for Rockwitz's Indifference for his wife Is thrown Into bold relief. She Is listless and passive, while he Is vigorous and aggressive. Rockwitz proposes his nlan to make Wiedmann the manager of one of his estates to Elizabeth. He pleads that he is degenerating In her absence and must have her Influence to save himself. Elizabeth confesses that It had been her love for him that had driven her Into her marriage and attempts to make him see that his plan Is therefore Impossible. This only fires his purpose and he gives her until morning to decide what she will do. Elizabeth had been completely sob ered by Rockwitz's actions and de cides to commit suicide, but she de fers her step until she can put her house in order and provide for Hel ene. After dinner, during which Rock- MRS. SHELOOIUT VESPERS Urges No One to Despise Their Youth 8hould Look Back with Pleasure to It "Let no one despise his youth," said Mrs. A. E. Sheldon at Y. W. C. A.

Life grows better, (Continued on page 3) witz continues to make veiled threats, Elizabeth proposes to depart for the river, but encounters Wiedmann. Dur ing her conversation with him she is impressed with his nobility of char acter in contrast with Rockwitz's sel ushness. He also discerns that he has not know her at her real worth, and "Happiness in a Work" receives a firm foundation for Wiedmann vows to see to it that his home is to be made safe. Freshman Law Dance The Freshman Law Class has ar ranged for their first dance Friday night, to be in the Alpha Sigma Phi house.

Urge Democrats to Organize Why don't the Democrats have a meeting and organize a University Democrats' Club? Surely If the Re publicans have need for such an organ ization, the Democrats will need one, for the coming election promises to be one of the hardest fought battles In years. Every voter in the Univer sity should come out and support his party. There is no trouble in getting interest in local politics and it is hoped that) a like interest can be developed In the politics of the nation. LER0SSIGN0LJ5IVES ADDRESS Outlines the Benefits to Be Derived from a Chair of Marketing in the Commerce School Before a meeting of the Lincoln Ad vertising club, Monday evening, Prof. J. E. LeRossignol, the head of the De partment 'of Political Economy and Commerce, gave an address on the work of the School of Commerce of the Univorslty of Nebraska and its re lation to the commercial life of the state. He outlined the various courses in business which are being given and approved of the movement started by the Lincoln "Ad" club and endorsed by the-Commercial club and other or ganizations in the city, for the estab lishment of a chair of marketing in connection with the School of Com merce. Such a course in marketing would explain the, marketing of a pro duct, that is. the route through which it goes from the manufacturer to the consumer. Prof. LeRossignol showed that a professor of economics is bound to be abstract, while the business man thinks concretely, but that the stu dent will be benefited by the theory. Because there are certain underlying principles of business which can be learned in the abstract, but which are fundamental to the conduct of success ful business. The school of economics deals with these principles, which are the result of practical experience. President Smith, of the club, dis cussed steps which bad been taken in Des Moines by the newspapers to refer all questioning to a vlgllence committee. Resolutions were adpoted by the club to request the Regents of the University to establish a chair or marketing as a part of the School of Commerce. CORNHUSKER STAFF LETS PRINTING WORK CONTRACT GOES TO ROGER8 CO, OF DIXON .ILL. EXPENSIVE PAPER ORDERED Binding Will Be of Tripoli Goat, Like Last Year's Cornell Annual Several Improvements Over Last Year's Book The printingand binding contract with the Rogers Printing company for the 1916 Cornhusker specifies better material and better workmanship than have ever before been put Into a Cornhusker. The paper used Is to be 140-lb. Dill & Collins, Black and White which is the best as well as the most expensive paper suitable for halftone and type printing. The pages are to be hand sewed, on tapes before binding, in the same way as commercial ledgers, so there need be no fear of a repetition of the loose and unsatisfactory biding of the book put out last year. The binding Itself Is to be of Tripoli goat leather, which is a five grain leather and will give the book a little richer and more for mal appearance. The workmanship is guaranteed to be equal or superior to that of the 1915 Cornellian, which was put out by this same- company last year, and which la quite generally considered as America's greatest college annual. In order to maintain this high stan- j dard the printers have requested that only new and uniform halftones be sent to them for use, since it is Im possible to make a good print from a poor halftone. This means that only first quality pictures can be accepted to make half tones from, and the Cornhusker staff reserves the privilege of rejecting any picture which, in their opinion, will mar the quality of the book.
