To the 6tudents of the Univer
sity: At one of the most critical
periods of the legislative ses
sion the Regents asked the
senate to restore to the Uni
versity approximately a quarter
of a million dollars which had
been cut off from theirs and the
governor's estimates by the
house. In the meantime the
senate asked the Regents to
reduce fees in the interests of
the self supporting student. The
Regents complied with the
senate's request, the senate
complied in the main with the
Regents' request and with the
exception of $100,000 on the
gymnasium the house acceded
to the senate's Increase. There
fore, a gentleman's agreement
exists between the Regents and
the senate not to increase fees
during the biennium except
necessary laboratory fees in
which the student paying the
fee actually personally partici
pates. The students are, of course,
at liberty to express their
opinion and sentiment on the
Single Tax and may publish the
same In Th Nebraskan, but un
der the circumstances it cannot
be officially considered by the
Regents during the coming
biennium.

Chancellor.

Roast Ox, Parade, Ball Games and
Other Features to Make May
12 Gala Day.
Appetizing roast ox and its garnish
ments will be outstanding features of
the annual barbecue and all-day cele
bration of the college of law, which
will be staged Thursday, May 12, at

from the Lincoln Traction company to
carry the law students to and from

ranged, students will be asked to take
the trolleys with the rest of the stu
dents, instead of using their own cars,
in order that the members of the col
lege can be kept together.
Varied Program.
The program at the fair grounds
will be varied and amusing. Follow
ing the dinner of roast ox, a few
impromptu short speeches will be
given. It is reported that some of tiu
members of the Lincoln city bar, who
have been invited to attend the bar
becue, will consent to run a few races
or even play a game of indoor base
ball with some of their younger broth
ers of Blackstonian knowledge (more
or less). There is a possibility that

Inter-fraternity baseball will get un

WASHINGTON PROFESSOR
ADDRESSES INSTRUCTORS
Dr. Thomas M. Marshall Tells of
"The Road That Leads to
Nowhere."
"The Road That Leads to Nowhere"
was the subject of an address by Dr.
Thomas Maitland Marshall of Wash
ington University before the Nebraska
History Teachers' association at a
dinner Friday evening. The program
of the association for Friday and Sat
urday included another address by Dr.
Marshall, "Some New Viewpoints in
History," and addresses by Professors
Guernsey Jones, G. B. Noble and Roy
E. Cochran and by other educational
leaders of Nebraska.
"The average college entrant does
not know how to speak or write Eng
lish with fluency or correctness; ho
has a poverty-stricken vocabulary and
he cannot spell; he cannot read any
foreign language; he knows no geog
raphy; he knows practically no his
tory; he cannot think logically; he is
lacking in initiative and originality:
he has no desire to know; and, he does
not know to etudy
"The true aims of education are
found in society itself. Man has
created great institutions, great so
cieties, great art. To fit the child to
understand these institutions and to
adjust himself to them, to make him
realize the nature of society and his
place In it, to give him an appreciation
of the cultural development of the
race, to give him an equipment which
will make it possible for him to de
velop to the fullness of his capacity.
"It seems to me that we have a
right to expect that when a pupil
finished a high school course he will
have some stored up results of his
study, some body of useful informa
tion, and the power, the ability, the
trained faculties to go on to higher
and larger things. To get him to that
point ought to be a definite aim of the
public schools.
"We must not be crowded into a
corner of the curriculum. We are
Jostled by the opportunists who want
children to be fed on typing, stenog
raphy, shopwork, manual training,
cooking, sewing, making of jewelry,
making of hats, hair dressing."

Election of New Members Will Be
Held Thursday Amendments
to Consider.
The Student Council was com
pelled, in their meeting last night, to
abandon their plans of giving the stu
dent body an opportunity to vote on
the question of a Single Tax. The
attorney general has ruled It illegal
for the Board of Regents to accept the
Single Tax, in view of the recent
action of the legislature in regard to
forbidding the regents to raise the
University registration fees for two
years.
Kleetion of the new Student Coun
cil members for next year will be
held Thursday. The following amend
ments will be voted upon at that time:

'SEVENTEEN' PRESENTED BY
PLAYERS TO CAPACITY HOUSE
Dramatization by Herbert Yenne
Scores Decisive Hit Three
Nights.
The play, "Seventeen" was pre
sented May 5, 6. and 7, at the Temple
theater by the University Players.
There was a capacity audience each
night long before the curtain rose.
The play was to have been given as
one of the regular series by the Uni
versity Pliyers, but the owners of the
production would not allow it to be
played because of the copyright law.
The Players, however, were able to
place it before the public free of
charge. This presentation was made
possible by Herbert Yenne. who dram
atized the play from Booth Talking
ton's novel, "Seventevn." The origi
nal novel has little plot and was con
sequently hard to dramatize, but Mr.
Yenne overcame this difficulty with
admirable skill.
Mr. Yenne took the lead'in the play
as William S. Baxter. The feelings
and trouble of the seventeen-year-old
boy were vividly brought before the
nudirnce in that character. Grace
Staton as Jane made a decided hit.
The character was that of an eight-year-old
girl. Miss Staton showed
great talent in this juvenile interpre
tation. Marked ability in character
work was also shown by several
others. Among these were Mabel Gib
son as Miss Boke, the troublesome
wallflower, Gerald Leuck as the flashy
country cousin, and Rudolph Sand
stedt as the colored handy man.
The cast was as follows:
Mrs. Baxter Francis Burt
