Ohio Encourages Songs
to Boost School Spirit
Math has been written during the
last (--- months, of the lack of proper

enthusiasm into the heart of the fresh

A determination to popularize sev
eral ' our best University songs and
'o ai students to singing them, in
ktead of knowing the names of a
dozen or so Ohio State songs but not
the words, is being shown by several
-f ur leadi ng campus organizations.
Th-y are showing the spirit that will
v n ually win. but it will take per
ifcienc for a student body that is
ch-arly out of the habit cannot be put
'n the mind to sing Alma Mater songs
over night.
Student Council has announced a

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS TO
PRESENT FARCE COMEDY
Students Star in Olliver Gold
smith's Play, "She Stoops
To Conquer"
Oliver Col Ismiths famous five act
comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer," will
be presented by the University Play
ers Wednesday night, April 23 at the
temple Theatre. This play in contiast
to the previous productions of this
year is of the farce comedy type.
The play is centered about a rural
estate in England in the early eigh
teen hundreds. The play opens on a
family (,ucrrel betwen the master and
th mistress of the estate. Mr. Hard
tastU. the very dignified and old fash
ioned English gentleman (Mr. Sand
stedt ) is discussing family troubles
with his determined and rather self-
willed wife (Margaret Howes) over
their lively and badly spoiled son,
Tony (Mr. Fogelson). At the conclu
sion of this quarrel affairs are brigh
tened by the appearance of their beau
tiful and talented daughter. Kate
(Margaret Mulvihill) and during the
course of conversation with her father
Kate is informed that a suitor is com
ing that day.
Tony, meanwhile is interrupted in his
ale-house education at a neighboring
inn by the appearance of two travelers
who have lost their way. These trav
elers are Young Marlow (Mr. Bush
nell) the before mentioned suitor and
his friend, Hastings (Mr. Claussen).
Tony feeing a chance to play a good
iriek. sends them on to his father's
house, after telling them that the place
i hey were going to was an inn and
that thtir destination, Mr. Hardcas
;k's home, was a good half day's jour
ney beyond.
On arriving at the supposed inn
Hastings meets his fiance. Miss Neville
(Miss Moritz), who is related to the
Hardca-tles. He is then informed of
the tru" situation, but decides to keep
secret this truth from Young Marlow,
fearing that the latter's modesty and
shyness upon finding where he Is will
interfere with his suite.
Then follows a very intersting con
fused situation happy ending for all
concerned forms a very ingenious and
entertaining plot-
This play i on of the most popu
lar ones of the time and Is full of
humor :.rd mystery from the overture
to the exit march. Seats for the play
wiil co on sale Monday and reserva
tions should be made early Tuesday
to insure satisfaction.

MISS MAHONEY. GIVES
TALK ON JOURNALISM
Tells University Women Their
Place and Need in the
Newspaper World
Woman Editor Discusses Qualities
Necessary for Successful
Work in This Line
Miss Eva Mahoney, of the Omaha
World Herald, gave a talk on "Wo
man's Place in the Journalistic Field,"
Thursday evening in Woman's Hall.
The qualities which are necessary
for a newspaper woman to possess
w ere discussed by Miss Mahoney. She
said that girls who take up this work
should possess inherent traits along
this line, but that these traits might
be cultivated.
"Accuracy is the first requisite
quality in newspaper work. No mat
ter how pretty a story may be, it must
state the fact accurately. Ninety per
cent of what is printed in reputable
journals may be believed." Miss Ma
honey said. 'The pubiie is largely re
sponsible for the inaccuracies which
do creep in."
"Rapidity of thought and action is
the second requisite," Miss Mahoney
said. "The average office works with
clocklike precision. Eighty thousand
words, or the equivalent of a novel
are collected, typed, edited, set up by
the printer, read and reread, put in
the form and then on the press, in
the space of a few hours."
"Superabundance of enthusiasm is
another indispensable quality. It is
that which makes your story. You
must keep jour physical being up ia
order to keep an amount of enthusi
asm on tap," she asserted.
Curiosity a Newspaper Virtue
Although curiosity may be one of
the seven deadly sins, it is a cardinal
virtue in the newspaper world. 'ou
always have it if you are a journalist
Lots of stories are picked up in that
manner.
"A writer could give pointers to Job
on patience," Miss Mahoney declared.
Imagination, tolerance, industry,
humor, alenness, and kindness are
additional qualities that the person
who wants to succeed in journalism
must have, according to Miss Mahoney.
'She must have human qualities and
meet people more than half way. She
must be on friendly relations with peo
ple, brusii elbows with them, for it Is
from them she gets her stories.
"Women are indispensable on a
newspaper. They can and do write on
every subject. Their opportunities
are as varied as their ingenuity can
devise."
Conducts Round Table
Miss Mahoney conducted a round
table after she had given the talk.
What she said was not only extremely
Interesting, but very practical as she
ha been in the newspaper work for
a number of years. She is editor of
the Woman's Page of the Omaha
World Herald.
Theta Sigma Phi. journalistic sorori
ty, whose guest Miss Mahoney is. gave
a dinner in her honor at the Lincoln
Hotel Thursday evening.

place, starttd at ten-thirty p. m. Wed
nesday with two gas balloons to at
tempt to make a continuous flight to
the Atlantic coast.
Weighted postcards will be dropped
at intervals to give the time of pass
ing and any information possible.
These wll be picked up and their con
tents put on the Associated 'Press
wires.
An attempt wll be made to make
the entire flight at the same height
by testing the air current. Mr. and

beginning and that the ascent was
very smooth.
STUDENT SENTIMENT IN
FAVOR (IF OMAHA TRIP
Thirty-five Hundred Dollars
Raised by City to Entertain
University Visitors
Student sentiment is unanimously in
favor of Omaha Day if the ballot box
in the office of the Daily Nebraskan is
any indication. Of all who have visit
ed the office within the last few days,
not one has expressed disapproval of
the Omaha trip. The majority have
expressed their choice for May 2 in
preference to May 9. The Daily Ne
braskan office will still remain open
for those who wish to register their
approval or disapproval of the plan
or to make suggestions in regard to
either date.
The Omaha Commercial Club
through its publicity manager, has ex
tended a cordial invitation to the uni
versity and is already preparing for a
thousand visitors. Thirty-five hundred
dollars has been raised by Omaha mer
chants and business men to entertain
those who make the trip.
Two years ago, at the time of the
latest Omaha excursion five hundred
students made the trip in a drizzling
rain. The Nebraska metropolis is this
year exceeding all previous efforts to
make the day successful and authori
ties feel that the opportunity should
attract at least eight hundred or a
thousand visitors.
If the trip is made, plans for
itineraries will follow the usual ar
rangement and departments will be
able to make inspection visits of par
ticular educational value.
AERIAL CONTESTS ARE
NEW COLLEGIATE SPORT
Aerial contests are announced as the
newest intercollegiate athletic sport.
The athletic department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has just been in
vited to send contestants to a series of
intercollegiate aerial tournament to
be held at Atlantic City in May under
the Aerial League of America.
"To enable the hundreds of thou
sands of college men who were in the
air service to continue their training
in aeronautics, both as a measure of
national preparedness and as a means
of facilitating their remaining in the
aeronautic movement" is the an
nounced purpose of the contests.
Aeroplane, seaplane, dirigible, balloon
and spherical kite contests w ill be run
off.
Although a large number of student
aviators have returned to their studies
at Wisconsin, it is thought that the
expense may prevent them from par
ticipating. LEADERS TO BE CHOSEN
FOR GIRLS' SPORT TEAMS
Class leaders for the girls' baseball
and swimming teams will be chosen
next week. The swimming met will
be held the last week in April and
the baseball games will be played the
first week In May.
More than fifty girls are competing
for places on the?e teams and many
are f-howirg splendid skill. Members
cf the teams will be announced ctre
tlve near the end of the week.

Biggest All- University
Track Event of the Year
One week from Saturday the mass
athletic system will be given its first
thorough test in old Nebraska "U."
South Dakota cancelled its track meet
with the Cornhuskers which was
scheduled for that date and in place
of it the largest all-university track
carnival in the history of this institu
tion will be staged under the super
vision of the "N" Club.
The inter-fraternity and inter-class
track meets will be merged into this
one event. No one in the university
will be barred from competing, be he
student or professor. Under this sys
tem it will be possible for a fraternity
man to win points and have them
count in three different ways, for his
fraternity, for his class, and for his
own individual record. This by far
the biggest affair of its kind ever at
tempted at Nebraska and Coach Stew
art expects to see 400 participants.
Michigan and Ohio State University
are putting on such an all-university
tournament and it will be interesting
to see how the three compare.
North Dakota cancelled their en
gagement for April 26 because the ex
treme cold weather has kept their
squad indoors and they felt that the
men would not be in shape to meet
the Cornhusker warhorses. It is prob
able that they may take the Nebraska
team will stop on the return trip from
Minnesota and meet the Dakotans.
The Minnesota dual is scheduled for
May 17 which would bring the South
Dakota match on May 19.
