It Is expected there will be at least
twelve or thirteen men who will make
the trip, i
8o far there has been only minor
Injuries to the men and no injuries
that will handicap the team in any
vay. The coach sent the men

Possibility of Lowered
Orchestra Leaders Ask Patrons to
Music Theater Operators
Reason for
Xo new turns were reported in the united fral crnity -sorority
fipht apainst "the hiph cost of a , University education" as some
have put it, except the fact that pbjections were voiced on the part
of certain Lincoln motion picture proprietors, orchestras and hotel
managers in regard to the resolutions drawn up, passed nnd
amended.
The hotels assert that they have been operating their ballrooms
and serving their banquets at a loss for the last several years and
that they cannot afford to come down to the rates set by the Univer
sity students. Managers of higher class orchestras declared thai
students failed to make a distinction between high class dance music
and that of mediocre quality. They also said that out-of-town,
engagements bring from $10 to $12 a night per man, and because of
this reason they can hardly afford to lower their prices to Universi;
students to $7.
Union Musicians.
"The majority of the union musi
cians will be entirely satisfied with
the action of the students last night,"
declared a representative of the Musi
cians' Protective union, "but they can
not expect the organized orchestras
which spend a great deal of money in
advertising and evening dress to be
r.ble to meet their demands."
Theater managers take the stand
that if the people of this city and
University students want cheaper pic
tures, they can have them, but that

PRICE REDUCTIONS
Cost Predicted by Some
Differentiate Between Classes of Dance
Plead High Price of Films as
Ticket Charge.
highest class feature pictures which
have taken a decided jump in price
since September 1. "It the cost of
films shows any tendency toward a
reduction, we would only be too glad
to grant a price reduction," said a
theater manager yesterday.
"The market is flooded with cheap
pictures," said Manager L M. Garman
of the Princess Amusement company,
proprietors of the Rialto, Liberty,
Lyric and Sun theaters, "but we are
showing the very- hest pictures ob
tainable in Lincoln at prices lower
than any other place I know of. We
are showing the very same motion
picture plays here that are bringing
50 cents to $1.00 in New York and
other eastern cities. We are charging
35 cents, while Omaha is charging
40 to 50 cents, Kansas City 50 to 75
cents, Denver 50c, and are rendering
every bit as good music, although the
orchestras are not quite so large.
"Five or six years ago the Rialto
theater was being run for $900 a
week and now it ccsts us $2,700. We
used to give shows like we are pre
senting at the Liberty with only two
acts for 20 cents. Now we are giving
five standard acts with an eight piece
orchestra for 40 cents, including war
tax. "We can cut our prices 5 cents
as soon as the war tax is removed."
"If the students had any idea of
what the pictures cost us they would
be surprised that we can show them
for the prices we are asking," de
clared E. E. Duncan, manager of the
Colonial theater. "A year ago we
could get comedies for $25 for three
days now they cost $25 a day. Fea
ture pictures have doubled and
trebled within the last few years and
there is no telling what they will
cost. The reople of Lincoln are get
ting thfir pictures at bargain prices.
The pictures we are showing now
have been produced during the high
prices and it will be somp time until
they will feel the effect or lower
prices and wages in producing."
As soon as the wholesalers and
manufacturers of confections reduce
their prices, Lincoln confectioner
have expressed their desire to lower
their prices on candy and fountain
menus. A representative of the
Franklin Ice Cream company said that
Ice cream may come down in the
near future, but he was unable to
state when such a drop would occur.
Reduction of Candy and Sodas.
"The reduction must come from .b
ice cream and candy manufacturers
before we can make any great cut,
said Alex Kerlakedes of the Lincoln
Candy Kitchen. "I will he only too
glad to reduce on candy and sodas
when we can get our materia'
cheaper. True, milk and sugar have
come down, but malted milk and ice
cream have made no drop. We can
not cut the wages of our men nor the
overhead expenses of the store -at
present"
