meeting at the Phi Delta Theta house
These are the only men in the 1921
22 Green Goblins who were not initiat
ed at the general roundup early in the
school year.
The Green Gobins passed a motion
to hold a subscription dance soon aft
er the holidays. Committee working
on the Dlans for the dance and the
Goblins promise a real exhibition.
It was propoc-ed, that a freshman
men's banquet be held at which all
of the men in the freshman class be
invited. It was decided that because
of the rush of things at the present
time no action would be taken in the
matter until after the holidays when
a special meeting will be held at Al
pha Sigma Phi house to clear up
some business which will confront the
Goblins at that tim6.
The Goblins are working hard in
an effort to get the Job of ushering

E
First Production of "A Winter's
Tale" Meets With
Success.
The University Players presented
"A Winter's Tale," last evening to a
crowded house. The audience seemed
thoroughly pleased with the presen
tation of this play.
The plot itself deserves a great
deal of attention, on account of it's
peculiar construction. The King of
Bohemia is visiting his brother. Kin.;
of Sicilia. The queen wishing to make
his visit enjoyable pays considerable
attention to him. Her husband, imag
ines she is iini rue to him and openly
accuses her. She is tried and just
as she is exonerated the news comes
that the young heir to the throne,
after having taken his mother's grief
to heart, is dead. This news sup
posedly kills the queen. There is no
heir left to the throne as the daught
er, while the queen was in prison,
has been disowned by the king and
has been taken to a far off country.
Those who carried her across were
drowned on their return journey so
their was no way in which she might
be found. A period of fifteen years
elapses and the curtain rises on a
pastoral scene. Here we find Florizel
the Prince of Bohemia in love wi'h
the pretty shepherdess Peidita. De
spite his rank he is determined to
marry her. His father, disguised, finds
him with Peidita and bids him go
back without her. Camillo, the good
friend of both kings recognizes the
trinkets which have been left with
her and hurries her and Florizel to the
court of Looles. There the two kings
are reunited and Peidita and Florizel
are left to carry on their plans. The
statue of Hermoirie proves to be alive
and she gives them her blessing.
H. Alice Howell is Hermoir.e, tho
lead of the play, was excellent. The
part gives ample opportunity to sho'v
her long training and experience.
Hart Jenks as Leontes plays a diffi
cult role. Niel Brown as Pol nines
makes a very kingly figure. Melba
Bradshaw as Paulina gives a splen
did interpretation of the sharp tonged
lady in waiting. Irma McGowan as
Emilie also deserves commendation,
for her work. Carl Bennett as Auto-
colys is very pleasing with his songs.

A STUDENT PUBLIC A TION
Did you know that the Alumni Journal is in reality a
student publication? The material for the 1921 fall issue was
edited entirely by Professor Lawrence's class in news editing.
The complete staff is listed on page two of the magazine and
contains the names cf sixteen university students.
Don't get the idea that the Alumni Journal is a far-away
something that has no close connection with the Cornhusker
campus. That is the biggest mistake you ever made. It is a
magazine edited by Cornhuskers, about Cornhuskers, and for
Cornhuskers.
It wants a Cornhusker slogan. So the opportunity of
suggesting one is now offered to all Cornhuskers.
The Alumni Journal is the most powerful influence that
the university exerts on its alumni. Naturally it is a potent
factor in developing a strong Nebraska spirit, and that is
what we all want, n'est pas?

hawksters who will persuade you that
their wares are the best. If you buy
pop-corn balls and gooey apples (which
were sold last year) you will be sur
prised to find yourself becoming
strangely attached to someone or bet

qualities that you would never expect.
You will be surprised at the amount

If you don't sit on somebody's cost

toward making everybody acquainted

to feel any friendliness for anyone
who manages to get pop-corn in your

make the Cornhusker party a great
success.

NEW TREE FORMATION
ON CAPITOL GROUNDS
While deforesting the capitol
grounds, the woodchoppers came upon
an unexpected knot in a soft maple
tree, about a foot In diameter. It
proved to be a horseshoe, perfectly
fmbellishecTMn the wood. The slit.
is in a state of perfect preservation
and is free from rust. In one or two
places it was nearly cut through by
the axe. Thi3 was saved and do
nated to the museum by Mr. D. G.
Cousen, 309 South Twenty-fifth street,
Lincoln. Undoubtedly, when the tree
was young, the horseshoe was lodged
in some crotch and thus became over
grown and embedded.

STUDENT COMMITTEE BEING
SELECTED TO AID IN PLANS
Alumni Secretary Holtz Explains
Proposition to Students in
Message Below.
"The Innocuiits society as an or
ganization placo themselves on record
as unanimously supporting tlw general
plans for Alumni week, particularly
in sympathy with the plans for a con
centrated homecoming, which means
that we favor having ail organized
bodies on the campus arrange to have
their annual homecoming at com
mencement time." These are il:e res--iiuion.-i
i i ba turn adopted by tl.o In
nocents, honorary senior ineu'b so
ciety, at a meeting Tuesday, Decem
ber ti, at which Alumni Secretary
Holtz placed before tiie thirteen men
the plans for homecoming and aiumai
week.
A committee composed oi Story
Hauling, Asa Hepperly, and Clarence
Koss Wi.s appointed to confer with
Mr. Holtz in regard to details of the
plan. Alter a meeting held Wednes
day afternoon, Mr. Holtz wrote the
following message to Nebraska stu
dents, in which he explains the pians
lor alumni and homecoming we-Mc in
detail:
"This much discussed program caJ
led Alumni week was conceived last
year at the annual alumni reunion
held in connection with commence
ment. It was the iinal outburst of a
long smoldering desire for the es
tablishment of bette.- relations be
tween tucr undergraduates and former
students, a better understanding by
the alumni of tiie problems of the
students and the administration and in
like manner a recognition of the need
for better interpretation of the uni
versity, a better presentation of its
practical value to the people of the
state by the undergraduates. The
time has come s hen the tax-payers
of this state tho folks who live next
door to you in your home cemmu-'
uity wish to know that the money
which they are contributing to the
university is not being wasteu. As
a matter of fact it is not, but u more
definite and organized means of pro
viding this fact than has existed in
the past must be found.
A Real Homecoming.
"The one particular part of the
program which insures the suc.es'ul
accomplishment of all the above
things lies in the plan for an annual
gathering which will be a real home
coming not the attendance of four
or fhe hundred resident alumU, but
a' gathering of many times that num
ber, wiio will leave their work, de
sert their professions and responsi
bilities for a few days and come back
to renew their acquaintance wHb the
men and women who were their inti
mate mends in college days.
"What is it that will take men
il e our own Dr. Waite back across
ihe continent to the commencement
at Amherst? What is it that an
nually finds ti.e graduates aud for
mer students of Vale and Harvard
and Princeton and others U-o num
erous to mention, filling the trains
and literally eating up the roads on
their way back to the old alma,
it is one taiug on!y. It is tho treat,
g.o.iuus prospect of seeing 11 the
old friends in one great reun'on. If
this will build lor other co.leges a
spirit) which makes every' student
and former student enthusiastically
true and boosting to their dying day
and at the same time makes every
high school student in the country
long to be one of them, is it not
logical to assume that this is one
thing which will help us at Nebras
ka to be better undergradutcs ana
100 times better alumni after we
have joined the ranks of he tax
payers? In other woras let s ap
