DELIAN MEN GIVE PROGRAM FRIDAY "For the purpose of showing what young men can do!" was the basis on which the young men of Delian worked up and produced their enter tainment Friday night in Social Science auditorium. From the old theater owner and leader of the band, with his tin horn and its "I've seen my best days whine,' to the last lit tle ditty sung by the Delian "ladies," the old barrel remained on duty. The skit "TWin Beds in two parts,' was a scream from the first bit of wit until the real twins very much differ ent from their appearance In the first act, left for their eight o'clocks. "You ought to See Her Now," present ed the story of an ambitious high flung girl coming to University, backed by her cow-boy dad to become the leader in the wild and spirited life of a society belle. But under the Influence of the Delian spirit she and her group become noble and Ideal representatives of University woman hood. The dancing skit put on by the Syncopated sisters (hardly twins) and their partners held the house speechless inside splitting laughter as they presented the long and short, as well as the awkward grace and hand painted beauty, of Delian men behind the footlights. Curtain acts conslstlnf of Jokes straight from the barrel, readings and songa, were brought to a climax by the reading, "The House By the Side of the Road." It was especially ex pressive as the fellowship and good will existing in literary societies, for of the large audience a number were Palladians and Unions.

W. to Sponsor Ex cursions in Nebraska During Vacation The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are planning to send out industrial groups again this summer. These summer industrial groups were started two years afo in Denver for the purpose of helping young men and women, who are interested in the industrial problems, to understand them better and to get inside Inform ation on how to cope with the situa tion. Each week the group would get together in a seminar to discuss con ditions and problems they had en countered. During this first summer three of the men were involved in the' Tramway strike at Denver. The group was consequently able to get both sides of the case and to get some valuable experience and information in a real industrial problem. The plan was carried out last sum mer in both Omaha and Denver in a like manner. There was four of our own university students in the Omaha group and some in the Denver group. Some of those at Omaha who worked in the packing industry lived dight there in South Omaha with the work ing class and thus obtained a first hand knowledge of the laborer's view point. Some of the co-eds who were in the Denver group reported that they found the average wage of the common working girl or woman to be about nine dollars per week and that the living and working conditions were very bad. This summer the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are combining their effoffrts in the industrial movement Here In Nebraska the movement is being sponsored by the "Y. M," the "Y W," and the Industrial Research club, Preliminary to the summers work these organizations are carrying on a series of meetings known as the coaching groups to give the students the back ground of their work and to instruct them as to the conditions they might expect to come in contact with. The first meeting will be con ducted tonight from seven to eight by Dr. Huntington, the subject for discussion being the "Psychology of Labor." The second meeting will be held on April 25, and it will be conducted b Mrs. Williams. The subject will bo The Application of Christian Prin cipals to Industry. She will point out the major issues and problems of community life in small towns and in cities. The third lecture will be given by either Fred O. Kelly of the Y. M. C. A. or by Mr. Stephens of Denver, on Democracy in Industry. From this elcture we will learn the practical methods of approaching the laboring people in an effort to get an insight to the problems. At the end of the meetings, sug gestive questloneers will be given out which will touch on the conditions which the students will encounter Then next fall in a series of meetings those who have gone out In some one of the groups will give an acount of their experiences. Only about fifteen will be permitted to go out with the Industrial groups from the univers Ity. Therefore if you wish to go notify Dr. Huntington at once. This series of meetings are open to all who are interested in this work and we urge you to attend. DR. HENRY COPE WILL SPEAK TO NEBRASKANS On Tuesday, April the 25th, Dr. Henry F.

AGS TO MEET IN DAIRY AUDITORIUM A big sign on the bulletin board of Ag Campus reads "Ag College Mass Meeting, Tuesday, 7: oil, in uu Dairy Auditorium. Every loyal Ag out." Half of the Ags will be "out" for sure because the Dairy Auditorium only seats two hundred. The only topic for discussion will bo Farmers Fair, but that will be enough to draw every Ag man and woman as near to the front row of that room as they can possibly squeeze. Suggestion ami ideas which are sailing around in thu air will be roped in und anchored fast in a defi nite outline and program. Most com mittees are ready to make reports of work done and work planned. Every one will have the opportunity of air ing their ideas to the members of the Fair Board who plan to circulate among various committee meetings offering assistance and advice where over they see the opportunity. Farm ers Fair less than three weeks away seems almost an impossibility but It is a fact. On Saturday, May G, the Ags will entertain the world as well as their friends of the city campus with the greatest Farmers Fair staged by Nebraska or any other stale.
