TIME EXTENDED FOR
CORNHUSKER PICTURES
Because of the large number of stu
dents who have made appointments
for individual pictures for "Every
body's Cornhusker" at Townsend's,
the dead-line for sittings has been
extended to Saturday evening. Any
students who have not yet had their
Cornhusker picture taken, are urged
to make their appointments immed
iately. Saturday evening is absolutely
the last chance for the taking of in

ADAM Ai EVA WILL
MAKE IP OH ROAD
University Players to Include
Seward, York, Geneva,
Sutton, in Tour.
"Adam and Eva" comedy of Ameri
can life in three acts, which was re
cently presented for three evenings
by the niversity Players, will be sent
t a circuit of sis towns under the
auspices of the University Lyceum
board during the week spring vaca
tion. The towns to be visited are
Seward. York. Grand Island, Genoa.
Sntton and Hastings.
"Adam and Eva" is to be presented
bv the University Players as a part
of the annual lyceum program sent
into the state by the university ex
tension department. University week
is one of the big advertising ven
tures tried at the university and the
play should do much to make this
war's production a success.
The play which was originally se
lected to be sent into the state was
'Tlarer.ce" but a nick ia the arrange
rrtents on the part of the players made
changing to "Adam and Eva" ad
visable. The large amount of pub
licity given the play recently by the
press of the state should help much
to bring record breaking crowds.
Rag Staff Has
Annual Fun Fest
Last night the "Raggers" held their
big blowout in Faculty hall, with eats.
"Ragjrr" and Terpsichorean pursuit.
TSae "Raeg'r" was a "danger" shet.
printed on the traditional scarlet
Bristol-Board, and it lived up to its
rather unenviable reputation. For
the "Raggf t" is to the staff, what the
"Shun" is to the University and
?hat is definite enough.
The sumptuous repast if that's
what you want to call it was fol
lowed by an unsuccessful pursuit of
the goddess of the "light fantastic."
Some of the news-chasers got to go
ing pretty fast they certainly ar
a swift lot.
Isabel Evans, cf whom every loyal
University Xighter li3s heard, was
superintendent of the culinary
triumphs, aide-d by Arvilla Johnson,
and the loyal Kenneth MeCandless.
Raymond Smith is an able instigator
of impromptu refusals to speak. The
program of speakers was cne which
has not been rivalled in University
slfairs. The names of the prpr
tralor of the "Ragger" we bold an
inviolate secret.
But the "Annual Fe-e-d" of the
"Raggers" is an event which dis
closed many things perhaps better
left undiscovered, and the staff at
least is ready for the feed of next
year, which may include many of
the old faithfuls, and which will cer
tainly bring together the news hounds
for their revel.
For. a has been said:
"A little humor now and then
Is r-lihed by the best of men."

o the rule. Students mix be-tter at
these parties than at any other af

J. B. HITTELL TALKS
TO MEHBERSOF A.S.C.E.
History and Uses of Asphalt
urougm uut in iiectuxe
to Students.
"Asphalt was first discovered by
the ancients in pools and springs and
was used as morter for stone paving
by a Babylonian king as early as 700
B. C." stated Mr. J. B. Hitte-11 at his
iecture on asphalt last night before
the A. S. C. E. in the Mechanical
Arts ha'.lffl
Asphalt was first found in Trinidad
off the coast of Venezuela in large
lakes. It is in a fairly hard form
and is broken off with picks and
shovels. Since then it lias b-n
found in Mexico. The crude asphalt
is refined in large tanks measuring
iten feet in diameter and forty feet
?in length. It is melted with steam
for the purpose of boiling out all the
water, the vegetable matter coming
to the top where it is skimmed off.
There are four types of paving in
which asphalt is usd, namely: ma
cadam, concrete. H.e-et and block.
Asphalt is moulded into blocks under
pressure by machinery. Thes blocks
are laid on a cement bed and hot
a.-pl.alt is poured over them.
The hardness of asphalt is tested
by an instrument that forces a stand
ard ne-edle into a solid block at a
pressure of 100 grams, for a period
of 6 seconds, at a temperature of 77
degrees Fahrenheit. The instrument
records the number of uits of pene
tration. If the ne-ed'.e penetrates the
asphalt 50 units, it is said to have
a penetration of SO.
Mr. Hfttell illustrated his lecture
with numerous lantern slides, show
ing various kinds cf paving and
machinery used in the construction
of pavement.
STEPHEN LEACOCK
JOINS OFFENSIVE
Another powerful enemy has joined
the offensive. This one is none other
than Stephen Leacock. leader of mod
ern humorists, who offers to the pub
lis his latest pen and Ink sketch en
titled "We are Teaching Women all
Wrong." Tho he takes the most se--ou
side of this decidedly serious sub
ject, Mr. Leocock is bound to suffer
from the nature of his reputation,
tine- wonders if perhaps this latest
-ork of his is not opposed to be a
disguised afterthought of "Nonsense
Novels" or "Winsome Winnie."
Mr. Leacock affirms repeatedly how
ever, that this time at least he is
serious and follows with a list of
references establishing his right to
judge. Between his periods of hum

for 20 years, instructed both Eds and

Edition number two of the Uni

cess of compilation according to an
announcement made Wednesday . af
rrnoon by Harold F. Holtz, secre
;aiy of the alumni assoeaitir.n. which
has taken over the rights to the
book. A much larger and complete
hoo.c than the first edition is promised.
The r.-rtok will be published within a

Tn:rty-two more rages will be
placvd in the new book, than were
contained iu the first edition. The
seeond number will comprise 120
p.tsres cf songs.
Not only Univirsity of Nebraska
sor?s but songrs from some of the
other large universities will be pub
lished in hte book. Northwestern,
Cornell and Illinois were represented
in the first edition of the University
Song book. The second edition will
probably contain songs from Yale,
Harvard. Princeton, Chicago, Iowa,
Wisconsin. Michigan, California and
other large schools.
Songs from these schools will be
placed in the book at the expense of
sueh pieces as "Polly Wolly Doc ale
All the Day." Most of the songs of
that type which have little or no
right to be in a university song book
will be kept out of the second edition.
In their stead will be placed the songs
from these other universities.
A feature addition to the new song
book will be the publication of one
song from the songs of the fratern
ities on the campus. Mr. Holtz has
promised that every fraternity which
wishes, may have on of their songs
contained in the new bvk. The only
stipulation is that the fraternity
promise enauzh subscriptions to the
book from among the members to
at bast pay for the making of the
plate. When the book is completed,
the plate may be given back to the
fraternity. Mr. Holtz said.
Song books of practically all of the
large universities in the country have
songs from the fraternities on the
campus and Mr. Holtz b-!i'veS that
Nebraska should follow the custom
set. It is entirely arbitrary whether
the fraternity hav a song published
or not.
Sorority sor.gs are not to V- pub

Mr. Hol'z declared.
Trof. H. B. Alexander of the phil-
Usophy department has already do
nated "The Ivy Sor.e," to t:.e new
book. This song is sung at every
Ivy day celebration and earh year
the corar..itt-e has secured the copy
from Mr. Alexander and has made
duplicates for distribution. The song
runs four paces and makes a very val
uable addition to the lit. Trof. Alex
ander has also announced that he has
unearthed four o'hr very good songs
which he will give to Mr. Holtz for
