Intend to Buy 1 Gram of Radium for
Experiments on Cancer by
French Scientist.
WILL COST $130,000.00
Nebraska Chapter of Women's Honor
ary Chemical Society
Will Help.
The women of the University of
Nebraska under the leadership of
Iota Sigma Fl, national honorary
chemical fraternity for women, will
help In the movement of the women
of America to raise 130,000 to buy 1
graf of radium to present to Mme.
Mario Curie, noted French scientist,
to enable her to continue her experi
ments on cancer.
Madame Curie, discoverer of radium
and head of the Radium Institute of
Paris, France, will land In the United
States, May 18, to tour this country,
giving lectures and instructions as to
the use of radium In the treatment of
cancer.
Madame Curie has twice won the
Noble prize of J500.000, given to t In
foremost scientist of the world, which
has been awarded to only three wo
men. During the war she worked in
the hospitals, giving Instructions as
to the use of radium in treating
wounds. It Is estimated that she has
saved approximately 50,000 lives.
Because of her great work in this
line, the women of the United States
especially the college women, are en
deavoring to raise J 130,000 with which
to buy for Madame Curio one gram
of radium. The great war debt of
Franco has prevented her mother
country from giving lo the dlstin
gui.shed scientist the necessary radium
with which to continue her work. In
return for this promised gift from the
women of the United States, she has
agreed to devote the remainder of her
life to the treatment of cancer.
Iota Sigma PI, honorary chemical
society for women, is backing 1 he
drive for funds in the University.
Each University girl is urged to give
some amount, however small, to this
cause, ller name and contribution
will be turned in to headquarters
separately. The names of all who
contribute to this fund, however small
the gifts may be, will be published in
a book to be presented to Madame
Curie with the gift of radium.
Mies Josephine Graves will be at
Chemistry Hall, third floor, any after
tnoon of the week, to receive contribu
tions.

E
IS WELL RECEIVED
New Type of Play Makes Hit
First Presentation to Large
House.
at
The comedy-drama, "The Tailor
Made Man," which the Players pre
sent as their last play of the season,
had an exceptional "first night." The
audience was the largest that the
Players have played to this season,
despite the fact that the Engineers'
Night was a rival attraction. The
play called forth many lauhgs and
various situations were greeted with
much applause.
This is a new type of play and the
University Players feel well satisfied
at the reception it brings from a
University audience. The Players
handled the clever situations with a
neatness which brought the most out
of each line. The whole thing went
very smoothly and left a very pleas
ing impression. A noticeable feature
was the effective grouping in the
drawing1 room srenp in the snenmt mpI
According to many, this was one of
the best representations of a drawing
room scene obtainable and the new
scenery contributed to the finish of
the performance. The light-comedy
type as this is. will be seen again
May 4. 5. 6, when "Seventeen" i
put on.
To Walter Herbert as John Paul
Part was assigned a role calling for
much snap and for a high type of
acting. As the tailor's apprentice and
the man for whom the play is named,
he brought much applause, so skill
fully did he extract himself from the
various bad fixes the play placed him
in. His acting was the best he has
done and he handled a big part as few
could handle.
John Dawson was a "knockout" as
the German-American tailor and his
character work was superb. Lucille
Foster as Tanya lfuber, Marguerite
Sutt as Kitty Dupuy, Herbert Yenne
as Kowlands, the reporter, Cyril
ooinhs as Doctor Sonntag. Gerald
I.encli as Peter, Jtudge Norton as
ddy Jellicot and Helen Purkctt tak
; ilie part of Corrinne Stanlaw, did
exceptional work. Miss Foster won
the heart of the audience as well as
flier Tailor-Made Man.
Tiie new talent first seen in this
play gives promise oi nriiiiaiu noun
work and augurs well for next season.
The first performance of the Tailor
Mado Man promises exceptional audi
ences Friday and Saturday night.

fiW'RD WRESTLING LETTER
TO EIGHT OF VARSITY TEAM
Honor Emblem Granted to Members
of 1921 Grappling Squad

Eight men received the honor "N"
for thir services on the wrestling
team. The men are as follows: Cap
tain E. C. Hoyt, Gayle Fickwell, It. S

P.( ngston, Stanton Troutman and I. C.
Wertz.
Next year's captain will be elected
this morning when the Varsity wrest
ling team will meet in Dr. Clapp's
office. Nebraska had a very success
ful season in the mat. game this year
and a number of dual matches were
staged here with a great deal of
success.
Next year the Varsity will be with
out the services of Captain Hcyt who
is without a doubt one of the greatest
wrestlers ever developed at Nebraska.
Gayle Pickwell will also be lost to the
quad. Dr. Clapp, Hie Varsity wrest
ling coach, will probably have some
difficulty in finding some one to fill
the places of these two men.

CHARTER SPECIAL
Will Leave urlington Station at 7:30
A. M. May 6th and Return
at Midnight.
To properly care for the excursion
the transportation committee has ar
ranged for a special train to leave
the Burlington station at 7:30 a. m
on Friday, May 6, and return about
midnight. To facilitate handling the
great number which it will be neces
sary to transport on this special
train, the students will be divided into
groups by the enrollment committee
at the time of enrollment and each
group will be assigned to a definite
.seetion if the train. In this way, the
different groups will be read to get
started on their trips at once when
they arrive in Omaha. On The train
the reception committee will assis
the students in planing what to do
during their leisure time in Omaha.
The enrollment committee, which
will begin work on Monday, April 2;,
will at the time of enrollment permit
each student to chose one trip which
will last from about 10 a. m. till 2:30
p. in. according to the length of time
required to make the inspection
These trips are the biggest features
of the day. They are so planned and
arranged that there will be one or
more trips pertaining to every course
in the University. Each group will
be given luncheon at the business
house or institution where it is visit
ing.
On the completion of the trips, the
groups will be free for the afternoon
iind early evening. The reception
committee will aid anyone in planning
the afternoon and will act as guides
for those who are unacquainted with
the city.
The Nebraska Alumni Association
of Omaha is working in conjunction
with the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce in receiving students and is
arranging for transportation on the
various trips. This is an enormous
task, and it is necessary that the
association know in advance how
many there will take eacli trip. For
this reason, we appeal to every stu
dent to enroll as soon as registration
is begun rather than to wait till li
last minute.
At 8 p. in. all the students v '
assemble at the new M. E. Smith
auditorium at 10th and Douglas
streets for an elaborate dance and
carnival. The Chamber of Commerce
has secured one of the snappiest or
chestras in Omaha to furnish the
music. The dance will be in the
nature of a carnival. There will be
surprises galore scattered through tin
evening.

QUESTION, "CLOSED SHOP"

The question for discussion is "P.e

This annual Iowa-Nebraska debate

AT LELAND STANFORD
Mai. Leroy P. Collins, field artillery,
IT. S. A., who is on duty at Leland
Stanford, jr.. University, Stanford,
Calif., as professor of military science
and tactics, has an article in the
Stanford Illustrated Review for March
on military training at the university.
He gives credit to Maj. Jens Dugge,
Inf. U. S. A., for putting military
training on a permanent basis at
Stanford which fitted many Stanford
men to render valuable service in war.
"Carrying a gun," says Major Col
lins, "has never been a popular sport
in college, and the same may be said
of the country in general. We are a
nation of hero worshippers during
war or threatened danger, paying to
our soldiers at such times something
very akin to reverence, only to turn
iconoclasts and ridiculers when the
danger passes. This is not a very
admirable trait of the American char
acter either, but unfortunately it is
one which our national life and his
tory tend to accentuate rather than
to eliminate. The Pritish have the
same weakness. Men go to college
not only to learn professions, but to
become better and more useful citi
zens, and military training and dis
cipline add the something to the in
dispensable academic work and the
highly desirable athletics, which fills
the ,ap and gives the poise and
pafiiotism, which neither of the others
can do.
