Clues Have Been Discovered
In Fraternity Theft Mystery
Two clues have been found and are
being developed In the case of the
girl who bus been robbing fraternity
houses. Since the notice appeared in
the "Itag," several more fraternities
have reported stolen goods. In every
case pins have been lost. The situa
tion has grown serious but today's
developments point to a quick solu
tion of the mystery and the arrest of
the guilty party.
Yesterday one of the fraternity
brothers of the man, whose love af
fair was blighted by the loss of his
Pin, was studying In the library. A
handsome blonde came In and sut
down next to him. The nian is rather
susceptible and Immediately looked
P and gave the girl the once over.
To hig surprise, he saw she was wear
ing the pin of his fraternity. He
was immediately interested as ht
had not heard of any recent engage
ment among the brothers. He started
talking to the girl at the same time
unbuttoning his coat so she could see
his pin. She seemed rather pleasant
and they were talking In quiet a
friendly manner when suddenly she
saw bis pin. Without a word of ex
cuse, she Jumped up and left the
library. His interest thoroughly
aroused, the man followed her. As
he was leaving the library, he ran
into a friend. He asked who the girl
was. "Good heavens,' was the answer,
"Don't you know her? She is a K

TBYOUTS TO BE HELD
T
"Should the United States Enter
the League of Nations"
Is Question.
Fpr Nebraska's annual Intereollegl-ate-debato
thinking matches, students
of argumentation und debate begin
pri paiatlon this week. The question
will be, "Miould the United States
Enter the League of Nations?"
The debates, which will take place
about tlie middle of April, will prob
ably be with South Dakota at Lincoln
and nt Vermillion. A debute with Iowa
may be arranged,' although Iowa,
whom Nebraska has been meeting an
nually since the war, decided some
time ago to omit the contest this
sining on account of financial oil li
eu tied.
An open try-out competition will bo
held in two or three weeks, according
to announcement on the Intercollegiate-Debate
Bulletin Hoard Saturday by
Prof. M. M. Fogg, for the selection of
the eicht members of the two teams
and for members of the Intercollegiate-Debate
Seminary. All students who
purpose to enter the competition are
requested to confer with Professor
Fogg. Uurther announcements will
be made on the bulletin-board (first
floor, Fniveisity Hall).
The "Think Shop," as the debate
Seminary room (University Hall 10RA)
has for years been called, has been
set up in preparation for the annual
logical frays.
Cornhusker Photo
Time Limit Extended
The time limit for the taking of in
dividual photographs for the 1923
Cornhusker has been extended to Mon
day, February 10, due to the fact that
so many of the upper classmen have
not, as yet, had their pictures taken
or handed in their photographs to
Dole's.
February 12, however, will be the
final date, and the panels of individ
ual prints will be made up then to
be sent to the engravers, according to
the editors of the year-book.
Tlie lists of honors for upper class
men may be corrected at any time in
the Cornhusker office in the north
west corner of Administration hall.
Organization pictures have not been
definitely called for but they should
be taken as soon as possible.
and one cf the best known girls oi.
the campus. Where have you beet
all of these years that you don't
know her?" NThe man remembered
that he had seen a sorority pin on
the girl. He hurried home a"d in
quired if any of the boys had recently
fallen. None had. The girl had not
come iy the pin in the regular and
easy manner. Could she be the thief?
It seemed impossible. She is a mem
ber of one of tho most prominent
sororities on the campus. She has
had any number of fraternity pins
thrown at her feet. She is of a dar
Ing and reckless disposition, but sure
ly her daring would not carry her
into such Indiscretions.
In the meantime, the robberies art
continuing. All the fraternities hive
formed vigilant committees and arc
planning to catch the elusive woman
The man, whose girl gave him the
air, is still In bad. He is swearing
vengeance and is leaving no stone un
turned to catch the thief and so re
turn to the good graces of the girl
We do not think that it will be
long before she is canght. It she per
sists In her raids in the face of th'
presort precautions that are being
taken, sure detection will result. So
far, no one has had the presumptio
to accuse the girl to whom the "'
dence points, but it is expected that
some sort of investigation will b'
made in (fiat direction.
'Beyond the Horizon" Presented
At Temple by University Players
Kirteno O'NiM's three-act tragedy.
"Ileyond the Horizon," was presented
last Thursday, Friday, and Sntunho
nlglilH, with an additional student
performance Saturday afternoon, by
the University Players under tho di
rection of tho Temple Stock Co. Large
and responsive audiences greeted
each presentation.
The strength of the play undoubt
edly reBts upon the simple symbollinil
power of the basic fable, the story of
two brothers, Robert, the romancer,
Is chained down to a life of grim
reality, while, the prosaic, unimagina
tive Andrew Is released for a life of
travel and adventure, which he enn
not appreciate. It is a bitter, ironic
revelation of the disillusion of love
since Robert Mayo is trapped by n
pretty face, and sacrifices his wan
derlust to marry Ruth Atkins, of the
next farm. The play vevo:ls with
unflinching relentlessnesH the corro
she action of time upon a young man
who, nt the crucial moment of hi:
life, makes the wrong choice.
It limy he more or less a matter of
conjecture whether or not the aver,
age audience enjoys morbid, depress
ing plays; bin certain It it that the
Players' production of the O'Neill
tragedy awoke sympathy in and gave
food for thought to llielr audience.
The tragedy and despair of this
drama comes in contrast to the "If
Winter Conies" motive that has been
worked to death in art, music, and
liter, hire the last few seasons, th.iup;!
even in this play a note of hope for
the future is sounded in Roller:
Mayo's dying speech.
HOLD BIG BANQUET
Joe Ityons Is Toastmaster Guy
Reed. Searson and La Tow
sky on Sneaker List.
The Working Students' banquet,
which was the initial performance in
Employment Secretary Aistadt'J
campaign for jobs in Lincoln was n
great success according to Prof A.
A. Reed, director of the University
Extension Department and J. V. Sear- j
son, president of the Knife and Fork
club in Lincoln. Joe Ryons acted as
toastmaster for the occasion. Th '
first speaker was Ouy E. Reed. Mr.
Ryons in introducing Mr. Reed, cited ,
several incidents where Mr. Reed ha? '
secured jobs for needy students. Mr I
Reed Spoke on ' the Lincoln Men's
View of the Student. "Business men I
would rather hire a man after he has .
been out of school for five years. He
has then learned the art of work
said Mr. Reed. A; N. Mathers, '0.
speaker of the Houre of Representa
tives spoke on "Is it Wort hit." Mr.
Mathers did every conceivable kind
of work while attending University
and said it meant a great deal to
him. It was a stepping stone to his
success as a banker and legislator.
H. R. LaTowsky, '2.1, a student in
the Business Administration College
spoke on "How to Create a .Job."
"Analyze yourself, see what you are
fitted for, tell a merchant you will
get the job. Business men are look
ing for that type of student." Mr.
Searson in commenting on Mr. La
towskys talk said: "No wonder he
draws $150 a month while still a stu
dentin the University."
Grover C. Baxter, of the Baxtoi
Westerman company spoke on "Sin
cerity and Fair Play." Hobart Ban
croft, a senior in the Business Admin
istration College talked on ;A Stu
dent's Reputation is a Foundation for
the Future. Shall It Be Rock or
Sand?"
J. W. Searson closed the list of
speakers by speaking on "The At
mosphere of Success." Mr. Searson
had a hard time getting through Uni
versity, and knods what it means to
be entirely dependent on one's oT
resources. "But It has meant a great
deal to me since. I have been In
business," said Mr. Searson. "The stu
den t who has the opportunity to
work his way through school is to be
envied," continued Mr. Searson.
Abcut 100 working students and
Lincoln business men were present at
the banquet. "This should be an an
nual affair," concluded Mr. Mathers
after the banquet.
Teacher "How was Iron discov
ered?" Student "I heard pa say they
smelt it." Ex.
Eight years elapse In "Beyond the
Horizon" between the Initial rise of
the curtain and tho final drop
eight dragging years of fading vigor
and slow drought, Invading (ho v rv
sources of the lines of the charac
ters. And for this rerson, the piny
called for the very best talent tho
Players could furnish. Miss Helen
Martin, as Ruth Atkins Mayo, did
not allow her characterization to lie
come static at any time in tho per
formance, but. faithfully depicted the
development of her character through
eight years of drudgery. From an
alluring young girl, capable of sway
ing a man's decision, though some
what sophosticated for an uncultured
rural character, she changed earl'y
to r. veritably shrew, sinking be
neath tho burden of household slav
ery; and thence to a mere chastened
woman whose Impressive silence
evoked the sympathy of the audience.
Miss Martin's natural , manner and
complete stage presence equipped her
well for the depiction of the dream
er's wife. To her should be awarded
first, honors, as she most nearly ful
filled the demands of her pnrt and
the play as a whole.
It. is Important that characters
which undergo the experience of
year should be portrayed in dyna
mic manner and not remain at rest
This feature was lacking in the var
ions character portrayals, tavo that
of Miss Martin even the twin ralibU-'
on the backdrop of the first sot re
mained motionless during the onti-e
years.' These might possibly be syni

HUSKER GAGESTERS
Pioneers Win by 32 to 17 Count
Rcnz Scores 16 Points on
Three Throws.
The worm turned Friday night
when the Grinnell Pioneers swamped
the Husker tossers by a .12 to 17
score. This is the irst conerence vic
tory o the Iowans, who managed to
ring up ten points heore Nebraska
could slip the berry through the circle.
Seveteen ouls were called on Nebras
ka, and Benz made sixteen of the
twenty throws given him count.
Husker free-tossers, on the other
hand, missed six out of nine of the
free throws allowed them.
The game was rough and tumble
M. Tipton sophomore guard, who
displayed a steady class of work at
the guard positions, received a com
pound fracture of his left arm during
the last half. He was taken to the
Lincoln Sanitarium. Tipton will bi
out for the rest of the season.
Whitehill. Grinnell guard, slippy;
down the side-lines and rung up four
field goals during the contest. The
Pioneer men slipped in several lony
shots at the first of the game, but
most of their counters were of the
short-an-sure variety. The Husker
seemed unable to penetrate the Iowa
defense, and made many long shots
which narrowly missed the iron ring.
The Scarlet and Cream quintet was
never within striking distance. Th
Grinnell warriors steadily drew awa
from the Cornhuskers, always keeping
about ten points to the advantage.
The score at the end of the first
half was 19 to 8. Captain Warren,
and Usher, diminutive forward, stood
highest I nthe scoring columns of Ne
braska, collecting seven and six points
respectively.

Weather Conditions Will Be
Predicted Months In Advance
(University Publicity Office).
Future generations are going to be
able to predict weather conditions a
month in advance instend of a few
days as now, according to Prof. G. A
Loveland, director at the University
of Nebraska United State Weather
Bureau since 1S94, and professor of
meteorology. He bases this opinion on
the fact that astronomers were cen
turies determining the laws of th
movements of the heavenly bodies
while meteorologists have been study
ing the weather less than a ccntu.y
Meteorologists now know that cer
tain movements of areas of high and
low pressure cause certain weather
conditions, but they still lack know
ledge as to what governs the move
ments of these areas.
Weither information is mostly dis
seminated through the daily news
papers, but daily reports and fore
casts are also being broadcasted by
radio by the Bureau of Markets at
9:45 a. m and by the University of

Ames Aggies had to fight to win
