the early work in 1914 when the Uni-!
versity women first undertook the sup- I
port of Miss Coppock, when $350 was
the goal. Miss Lowry was a member
of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet at that
time. She emphasized the fact that
the University has grown, that the wo
men are now able to carry out a big
campaign, efficeintly organized with a
blgobjective and that Interest in for
eign work has increased. There is
constant growth in the University and
there Is also constant growth in the
scope of the work in China.

C. PETRUS PETERSON TO
SPEAK AT LUNCHEON
At the Greater Nebraska luncheon
Friday noon, C. Petrus Peterson, for
mer state senator who is the present
city attorney, will speak to Univer
sity men on "Corporation Conscience."
Ur. Peterson has been engaged in the
practice of law in Lincoln for several
years and is well known over the state
for the active part he took in the last
legislature.
The usual chicken pie luncheon will
be served promptly at 12 o'clock.
Arrangements have been made with
the management of tho Grand hotel
so that tickets for the luncheon may
be secured at the desk each week for
40 cents. This eliminates the neces
sity of buying tickets on the campus
before Friday. The Nebraska in
Egypt week activities, although the
wrokers will still be canvassing tomor
row will not interfere with the plans
of the luncheon and there will be no
connection between the two programs.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, T11UKSDAY, A
PLAYERS 10 PRESENT
"THE TAILOR-MADE MAN"
Next Production Slated for April 21,
22, and 23 Cast Not Yet
Announced.
The University Players' next play
as formerly announced will be "The
Tailor-made Man." Nightly rehearsals
ure fast preparing the production for
its presentation Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, April 21, 22 and 23. A large
cast is working overtime tho the per
sonnel cannot be anounced as yet.
A view of our campus reveals how
many T'ailormade men we have with
us here in school. All of us know and
recognize the value of dress, as we
have coached in the last ten years by
tempting advertisements as to the
value of good clothes.
The play, "The Tailormade Man,"
I is one of the business world and tho
i it does not exactly deal with the type
of our Tailor-mades still it takes for
its hero just the sort of fellow as we
rub shoulders with in our daily classes.
The hero, John Paul Bart, is an ap
prentice in a tailor shop, who has
visions of bigger things. Many of our
lighter-minded might compare him to
a U of N law; a fellow with a gift of
gab, a somewhat flippant outlook on
life, an assurance not to be upset,
social polish and yet a man of des
tinya big man only needing develop
ment. Such a fellow is John Paul,
and realizing what he is, he is determ
ined to rise above the tailor shop.
The incidents connected with his
efforts to rise form the amusing story.
The cast is very will chosen and many
new faces will be seen among the
players in this production.
The play "Seventeen," that was to
be produced at this time is to b played
early in May, free of charge, to the
patrons of the layers.-
COMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS
TO STABE "FARMER'S FAIR'
Big Pageant Comes April 27 on Farm
Campus Many New Features
To Be Added.
At a meeting of the Farmer's Fair
Board, Tuesday evening at the Social
Science Hall, at which the chairman
of the fifteen standing committees
were in attendance, detailed arrange
ments for the fair were threshed out
for the big pageant of the year, whicn
will ,he staged April 27, on the Univer
sity Farm Campus.
The tentative plans call for an en
largement of the fair over twice its
last year's preparations. This will
hold in both the main fair and In the
parade. Two more buildings will be
used to house the show this year, and
plans for a parade of twice the length
of last year's event.
The educational exhibits, which the
various departments on the University
Farm Campus will be housed in the
Plant Industry building.
A new feature which will be intro
duced this year will be Farmer's Fair
headquarters, which will be opened up
in the Agricultural office on the second
'floor of the Agricultural Hall. Regular
office hours will be kept, with a mem
ber of the materials committee on the
job all of the time, which will do
away with a great deal of the con
fusion which was manifest last year.
The Fair Board has been negotiat
ing a deal with the Lone Star Ranch
of Landers, Wyoming, for five head
of "long-horns," to be used in the wild
west show, but some difficulty has
been encountered in geting steers of
the right specifications.
A dead line has been set by the
board of April 23 at six o'clock, when
all orders must be in for construction
materials and signs. The board
would apreclate early orders from the
heads of the committees, at as early
a date as posible, in order to avoid
last year's deluge of Just before the
"battle."

the University could not help bein
"Internationalism." She declared that
the University could not help being ai:
international university since its rep
presentatives were doing work la
every part of the world. To show
what Chinese students deprive them
selves of to help famine stricken peo
ple of their own land she told stories
of her experiences with the women ot
Hangchow. They go without food afi
deny themselves extra clothing to
help their people. She told of the
change which has come over the
Chinese people in their attitude to
ward others and how service is no
their idea rather than self Interest.
"The women and men of China are
asking that everything the America.
vomen have tiat Is worthwhile be
brought to them," she declared and
added that now is the time to slve
help.
"There is a great need in C-hina.
That need must be met and met to
day. If we put it off until next yeai
