VESPERS SPEAKER TALKS
ON CENSORSHIP BILL
v.
Mrs. Sheldon Gives Reasons for Need
of Movie Control by Board In
Nebraska.
Mrs. Sheldon spoke at vespers
Tuesday on the bill providing for a
state board of censors for motion pic
ture films, which the Nebraska legis
lature is now considering.
The girls attending vespers were
given an opportunity to sign a peti
tion, which the University Y. W. C.
A is circulating, asking the legisla
ture to pass the motion picture cen
sorship bill.
Mrs. Sheldon was a member of the
rhilrl Welfare Commission, whose
duty it was to study the child laws in
Nebraska. One of the most import
ant things the commission was to
report on was the influence of motion
pictures on children.
The commission sent the following
questionairre to all the superintend
ents of city schools In Nebraska:
1 What is the iniluece of the 'mo
vies' on the children in your com
munity? 2 What per cent of the pictures
are objectionable?
3What are tho objectionable ele
ments? 4 what per cent of the children
attend?
5 Personal remarks.
6 Would you like to co-operate in
helping get rid of the objectionable
features?
The substance of the majority of
the replies was that the Influence was
bad, that 60 per cent of the pictures
were objectionable and that 75 per
cent of the children attended. The
features most emphasized as objec
tionable were the eternal triangle, the
showing of the home relationship at
a disadvantage, the trivial subjects
treated and the making a hero of a
criminal. AH were eager to help
eliminate the objectionable features.
Four states already have their mo
tion pictures censored and they have
found it successful. Attempts have
been made to have these laws re
pealed, but the laws have remained.
If this is true, Mrs. Sholden argued,
a board of inspection for Nebraska
cannot be unfair or unconstltutonal
can It?
This board would not cost the tax
payers anything, as the motion pic
ture producers would have to pay a
smal lfee to cover it

SONG-BOOK CAMPAIGN
' ENDS IN THREE DAYS
Sororities Neck and Neck in Race for
Three Prizes Offered Tor
Subscriptions.
Three days are left in which to
subscribe for the Cornhusker Song
book. Saturday night subscribers will
have an opportunity to hear bum'-, o
the catchy tunes to be contained ii
the book when when sung by Loib
Melton and Izzie Pearsall.
The book, whhich will contain all
die popular songs of Nebraska days
gone by and many new songs by blu
dents, faculty and alumni, will make
the volume well worth having. Not
only will there be the best Neoraska
pongs, but the song hits from all
I he big Universities in the United
States.
Sororities are working haru on the
subscription camaplgn in hopes that
they will be the lucky ones to get
the big, $125 rocking chair, or int
two lamps worth $75 and $40 each
The contestants are neck and neck
now and with three days left in wnlct,
to get subscriptions it would be hard
to predict who will comes out vie
torious in the contest.
No better way to show Nebraska
Bpirit or increase the spirit we row
have can be found than by buy'ng a
songbook. Doing this makes it pos
sible to publish a book that will
be a monument to the students of the
University. It will serve as a begin
ning for later songbooks and a copy
of th efirst edition of tnw songbook
will make a keepsake worth while.

HUSKERS 10 TAKE
FINAL
WORKOUT
Schlssler's Squad WIIIRecelve Last
Practice Today Preparatory to
Colgate Games.
COACH ON SCOUTING TRIP
Easterners Have Enviable Record
Have Lost Only Two Games by
Small Scores.
Today will be the last practice the
Huskers participate in before meeting
the fast Colgate team tomorrow and
Saturday nights at the Coliseum.
Coach Schlssler will put the squad
through a stiff scrimmage this after
noon in preparation for the easter-
ners.
Coach Schlssler will go to Omaha
this evening to scout the Creighton
Colgate contest. The Creighton team
were able to defeat the Notre Dame
quintt and should prove to be a
stumbling block for the fast eastern
aggregation.
Colgate will in all probability be
the hardest opopnent the Huskers will
have to face this season. That Col
gates has a wonderful scoring ma
chine can readily be seen from the
record the easterners have made dur
ing the past season.
The Colgate quintet have suffered
defeat only twice this season and
have eleven games on the winning
side of the score board. The easter
ners lost to Pittsburgh and the Rose
Polytechnical Institute. Both of these
contests were hard fought and were
lost by small margins.
Has Met Strong Teams.
Colgate has played some of tho
greatest basketball teams in the east
this season and the followers of the
Husker team will have a chance to
compare the standard of the Ne
braska quintet with that of other
eastern teams.
Some of the teams that Colgate has

is taken and on a wager taught how
to speak and act properly in high so
ciety so that she may oe passed oi
as a duchess within six months. Her
experiences and those of her tutor

and exciting plot.
