JUNIOR GLASS
PLAY TONIGHT
Third-Year Students Will Show "The
Invader" at Temple Theater
Friday Evening.
ALL JUNIOR CAST
Viking Have Tickets for Sale and
Student Body Expected to
Pack House.
The junior class will present its
play, "The Invader." at the ToVnple
theater tonight. The juniors have
not si aped a class play for several
rears and it is somewhat of a novelty
for the third-year studonls to rut on
a shew. The present proration of
students will not remember any of
ihe junior plays in the past and will
certainly welcome the initiative of the
juniors in their effort to give a show
iliis year.
Wednesday night the show was
given at the state penitentiary before
fin fiudier.ee of about seven hundred
people. A l3rge number of students
and visitors enjoyed Hie show besides
the many inmates, guards and prison
officials. A large number of cars
drove out from Ihe city to enjoy the
junior show but .many were turned
away at ihe door because of ihe lack
of room.
"It was a good show." Warden
Fenton stated Thursday 1o a Xe
braskan reporter who soueht the alti
tude of the officials and prisoners on
the play. "It ranks with 'It Pays to
Advertise' and that was one of the
best ever shown here. The prisoners
hll enjoyed it and befieve it to be
(jc of the best ever shown at ihe in
stitution." the warden added in his
;.:drnt commendation of the show,
:;nd Warden Fenton knows a good
show.
Practicing on Us?'
The prisoners also spoke enthusiast
ically regardine the show. "The fel
lows all liked it." said one of the
inmates, "they thought it one of the
best shows the students had given for
some time. Of course ihere were one
or two other e-.wil plays but 'The
Invader' ranks with any that the Uni
versity students have given and, to
lie truthful, is as good as any plays
ihat have ever appeared here."

FOOD AND DRUG COURSE
OFFERED NEXT SEMESTER
Pure Food Laws Have Caused De
mand for Training Along
this Line.
By Prof. J. B. Burt.
Beginning with the r,ext semester,
a course of stedy in food and drug
analysis will be offered to Ihe ad
vanced students in the College of
Pharmacy. This course is arranged
primarily for juniors and seniors in
pharmacy who are preparing to take
up work in the various departments
ol the government, or in other fields
where the analysis of food and drug
products and preparations is involved.
The effect of the enactment of the
Federal Pure Food and Prug Act,
together with the similar laws by the
majority of the state legislatures, has
been to create a demand for men
trained in pharmaceutical chemistry'
and food analysis, both in the gov
ernment service and in the employ
of private enterprises.
Food and drug analysis should be
preceded by or accompanied with tbe
course in the microanalysis of food
and drops, the two courses being
considered as complimentary to each
other. Special stress will be placed
upon the detection of adulteration,
cases cf misbranding and other viola
tions r. tv,e pure food and drugs act.
The drugs and preparations most
likely to be adulterated will be in
vestigated, together with represen
tatives of the various types of food
products, ruch as tbe carbohydrate
foods, edible fats and oils, spices,
flavoring agents, coffee, tea. cocoa
and chocolate, milk and ils allied
Products, etc.

CHANCELLOR AVERY
DEFENDS PHARMACISTS
Profession of Pharmacy Should In
clude a Broad Training and Net
Narrowly Commercial.
Chancellor Avery. Prof. J. B. Eurt
and H. H. Antics adelressed a special
convocation in ihe general lecture
room of Pharmacy ball, Thursday
morning at 11 o'clock. These talks
served as the opening attraction to
a week which will be devoted to
pharmacy activities.
Chancellor Avery began by remark
ing that he felt very much at home
in the old chemical laboratory where
he had worked as a student, professor
and head of department, mentioning
further the fact that in the old lec
ture room where he spoke probably
r.,000 students at cne lime or an
other had been under his instruction
Following this he gave a shori
resume of seme of the arguments
against collegiate pharmacists, the
growth cf the manufacturing interests
and the thc.ught on the part of some
that this had made the trained phar
macist unnecessary. He answered
these arguments by showing the in
tense importance of ihe subject, how
a misiake not, only might cause human
life io wink out or disease to be
prolonged, but also that uncertainty
rn the psrt of the public mind in re
gard to pharmacists was a serious
disadvantage. He mentioned cases
ihat had come under his personal ob
servation of where poorly trained
pharmacists had sub.-tituted poisons
for remedies due to similarities in
names or symbols, and expressed him
self strongly in favor of having the
pharmacists broadly trained with a
chemical, boi.-nical and bacteriological
background so that they could do
their woik properly.
Pleads for Trained JVen.
The final plea for the trained men
wis his use in elevating the intelli
gence of the community and an un
ier. tandisg cf e!e -.-or! I at large as
well as understanding of the ihing at
hand. The pharmacist should be one
of the group in every village who
leads in the intellige-nt life, who asso
ciates wiih the best trained people in
ihe community and thereby raises the
iniollice ne-e standard of the commun
ity. All of 1hse things according to
the speaker are valid arguments as
to why ihe pharmacist should be a
well trained man wilh a professional
spirit, prosperous in business, but not
narrowly commercial, having in his
ptoff-ssional consciousness something
more than the main desire to make
money. The student should regard
himself as one training for successful
service and not one trying to fit him
self to hold down a paying je;b.

ARMY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE.
PHARMACIST IH WARTIME
Physician, Dentist and Veterinarian
is Commissioned When He
Enlists.
By Dean R. A. Lyman.
The dean of every college of the
University is frequently importuned
to express his opinion of the import
ance of the work which bis college
represents. This is not always easy
to do without seeming to advertise
one's work unduly. It is fortunate
that occasionally some member of
another profession speaks in the in
terest of a related profession. This
year I prefer to let a medical man,
an editorial wriier, in the Journal of
the American Medical association,
f-peak in concerning tbe importance
of pharmacy. The following state
ment appeared in the time of war,
in the June 1. 1317. number of the
above mentioned journal:
"Physicians, dentisis and veterinar
ians are officially recognize-d by the
government as men of special train
ing, whose technical knowledge can
be of use to the nation in time of
war. Provision is made so that men.
in these professions can be enrclle,!
as commissioned officers, and theij
skill meist efficiently use I by jL
irmy. The pharmacist, bov.-cter. as
a pharmacist is utterly ignored. If he
enlists, he doe-s so as a private. So
far as official re-cognition of it Is
concerned, the science and art of
pharmacy might not exist for th
army. Today, as never before, vic
tory In war po-s to the nation that
most effectively conserves the health
of its fighting men. The physician
is now of such military importance
that the medical profession will be
called ujnn to make no inconsiderable
sacrifice. It will materially lighten
the arduous duties and responsibilites
of the physician to have in the army
trained pharmacists who will be able
to giv intelligent co-oeration But
it is imposing to great a strain on th
patriotism of those whose special
knowlfdee is obviously a large asst
