is the last game of the season and
to assure finishing before dark, the

Nebraska Stadium

Influence Toward Better Spb it
"The stadium was the empitome of
'the glory that was Greece.' Here
was displayed the highest expression
of the ancient mind and body. Dra
matte art. oratory, philosophy, and
athletic prowess blended to make the
Hellenic civilization the finest of the
ancient world. That civilization flow
ered no less in the exploits of the
Olympic games than in the oratory of
Demosthenes, the philosophy of Ar
istotle, and the drama of Sophocles.
To the Greek the perfection of the
physique was no less admirable than
the excellence of the mind. The
laurel crown of the Olympian was as
eagerly aclaimed as the prize of the
orator, philosopher, or dramatist It
was the stadium that gave Greek life
its symmetry.
"Likewise, the stadium has become
the means of unifying the best in
American college life. The stadia of

UNIVERSITY
PARTY SATURDAY
Last All-University Gathering of
the Semester Planned for
This Week
The Inst All-University party of the
semester will be given in the Armory
Saturday evening. There will be no
games; the evening will be spent In
dancing. The committee asks that
students come out to tho party, es
pecially girls.
Not unlike the lonesome Virginia
Planters in the early colonial days
the committee in charge has sent
word over the campus that they want
a shipload of girls to keep the young
men in the best of spirits throughout
the evening. The absence of girls at
the previous mixers has proved dis
astrous to many a lad who would en
Joy the evening.
The Ames rooters have been in
vited to attend the mixer and there
will probably be many more men
than women with the invaders. Just
think enterprising co-ed this is a per
fect chance to pick up a new im
ported "line" that will take like the
measles when once you spring it.
This is the last AJl-University
mixer that will be given this se
mester. The price is 30 cents. Masks
will be worn the earlier part of tho
evening. They will be furnished each
visitor at the door and will bo re
moved a short time after the dance
starts.
Most of the evening will be taken
for dancing although there will bo a
short program. The committee is try
ing to make this a lively dance and
ask that everyone come ready to cut
loose in a good informal fashion.

STADIUM
Cooley Criticizes
Intellect Tests
In commenting on the present wide
spread use of intelligence tests and
the belief held by some writers on
the subject thut these tests can meas
use the capabilities as well as the
Intelligence, Prof. Charles I). Cooley
of tho Michigan sociology department
says:
"I do not believe that any intelli
gence test enn measure the nativo in
telligence of an Individual. A number
of writers on the subject would give
that impression, but the most that can
bo said of tho tests Is thut they are
In a way able to measure the acquired
intelligence.
"The intellect Is a social product
largely dependent upon early environ
ment und education, nnd for this rea
son there Is no basis for saying that
nny mental test can determine the in
nate possibilities of a mind. Those
writers who point out that, some na
tionalities among our population av
erage higher in intelligence than oth
ers forgot tho fact that these nation
alities are surrounded by different en
vironments which may well account
for tho difference shown by the tests."
Committee Announces That All
Lincoln Churches Will Take
Part In Welcoming Students
"Next Sunday is All-University
Church Sunday. The churches of Lin
coin, always open to students, extend
a special welcome for this day. All
the churches will welcome into mem
bership the students who apply, and
they urge the importance of this step
upon all the young people of the Uni
versity," says a report from the chair
man of the Church Affiliation com
mittees of the two Christian Associa
tions. The statement continues:
"Students come to the University
to expose themselves to a certain set
of influences and certainly no one can
afford to neglect the influence of the
churches and what they stand for.
No matter what the physical and in
tellectual and social development
those who go into life without car
rying spiritual development along
with the others, are missing one of
the most valuable assets for real liv
ing. This need the churches are to
meet, and extend an invitation at this
particular time for the students to
avail themselves of the facilities
maintained in the city for this pur
pose. "One student recently gave this as
a reason for church membership:
"Christianity is t lie greatest uplifting
force in human life. The church is
the organized expression of Christian
ity. Therefore every student ought to
unite with the church." That is the
attitude which the city churches are
taking toward the student member
ships. "The general plan of receiving stu
dents for affiliate membership is for
the student, through the pastor. Uni

Waiting for Nebraska All Season
The Notre Dame game is less than
a week away, and there are many
rumors floating around the campus
Speculations as to which team will
win are also prevalent, and many
have the whole game all "doped out,
The real facts or tne case are
however, that when Nebraska meets
Notre Dame on th efield this coming
Thursday, she is going to run up
against the stiffest game ever played
here. Even though all Nebraska's
men were playing and wer egoing
fine, the task of beating Notre Dame
would be a serious one. But when
the fact is considered that both Pres
ton, often referred to as "the brains
of the team," and Scherer, star end,
will be out the Notre Dame game
appears very much more menacing.
It sems from reports received from
the Notre Dame camp, that more
than one man has been kept from
playing the whole season just for the
purpose of being in condition when
the Nebraska game came. Then again.

MATCH FROM DENTS
Barristers Roll to an Eighteen
Point Victory in First Inter
College Competition
In the first inter-collegiate bowling
match, (lie Law College! team won
the match by the narrow margin of
seventeen pins over the total rolled
liv the Dental Collego ciuintct. The
totals were Laws 2527, Dents 2iiO!V
The match was a close ono from
start to finish, and at no tlmo was
the victory certain.
In the opening game, the Dents
took a narrow lead with a margin
of eleven pins. Tho Laws were the
winners of tho second natch with a
narrow margin of thirteen pins. With
only two pins separating the teams
when the third game started, both
teams made a strong effort to come
out victorious in the final count. The
Dents started strong and for the mo
ment appeared to have the decision,
but their early lead fell In the middle
of the game when the Laws took a
spurt and brought the game to a tie.
From here on it was a close race,
going into the final frame where tho
Laws nosed out a victory by the
narrow margin.
The individual star of the match
was Carr of the Dents. Ho rolled
the high series with games of 184,
209, and 200, totalling 5!3. McKin
ley starred for the Laws with a 5C4
series, two of his games over the
two-hundred mark.
The match was made more inter
esting and exciting by the large gal
lery of rooters in attendance. Most
of these were followers of the Dents.
One or two Law rooters were present
to cheer for their team, but their ef
forts were entirely smothered by the
uproar kept up by the enthusiastic
Dents.
This is the first of a series of In
ter college matches that will be rolled
bv University bowlers. The Dents
and Laws already have regular line
ups and the "Hizads" commenced or

It is well known that Coach Daw.
son's maxim is to play straight foot
ball, and the very best of critics say
that Nebraska can play that. But
stright football alone will not win
the game against Notre Dame Turkey

open up with that is unexpected, Ne
braska Is going to be out of luck.
Trick plays, and trick plays only,

WRITTEN
SONGS IN MUSICAL COMEDY
Announcement of the selection of
"Tho Yellow Lantern," to bo the mu
sical comedy for the Annual Kosmet
Klub production this year, was mado
late Thursday evening by tho Kosmet
Klub play commit lee. "The Yellow
Lantern" Is an original three-act mus
ical comedy written by Cyril Coombs,
a senior law in the University of Ne
braska. The entire direction of the
play, whic h will be produced April 24,
will be turned over to th" author of
the winning manuscript.
In having his manuscript selected
by tho Kosmet Klub, Coombs is en
titled to the hundred dollar prize of
fered by the Klub for the best musical
comedy submitted by a student of the
University of Nebraska. Coombs is
at present the stage manager of the
University Players.
Spicy and original songs are in
cluded by the author of tho "Yellow
Lantern" in the manuscript of the
play. The plot is laid in China and is
the basis for many thrilling situa
tions. From the opening scene of the
final curtain the play maintains a
gripping air of oriental mystery and
every situation is improved by lively
musical numbers.
Tryouts for the Cast.
The tryouts for the cast of the mus
ical comedy will be held March first.
Until that time the author of the play
will be kept busy putting his produc
tion in the best shape for the final
presentation.
The members of the Kosmet Klub
hive been spending three weeks in
the selection of the winning play.
Three manuscripts submitted early in
the year have been subject to the
careful scutiny of the Klub and "The
Yellow Lantern" Is said by the com
mittee to possess exceptional quali
ties for an original play written en
tirely by a University student. Every
musical number is the original work
of Coombs and the entire play repre
sents the work of more than a year.
The production of the "Yellow Lan
tern" will require several full sets of
special scenery, which has also been
designed by the author of tho play,
who is thoroughly familiar with that
part of the stage work. Oriental cos
tumes and settings will feature the
major portion of the play.
Each year the Kosmet Klub pro
duces a musical comedy written en
tirely by University t Nebraska stu
dents. The plot and the play must be
entirely original with the author and
the music is also original. Last year
the Kosmet Klub presented tha play,
"The Knight of the Nymphs," which
played successfully to a crowded
house. An effort may be made to put
this year's show on two separate
nights and a movement has been
launched to send the play to Omaha
after It has been presented here.
