PAN-HELLENIC FORMAL TICKETS
GO ON SALE AT FRATERNITIES
Less Than Two Weeks Left Until The Biff Formal Party of the
Greek World at the Auditorium in Charge
of Mem hers of Kosmet
Klub.
FRATERNITIES ARE REPRESENTED IN DECORATIONS
Houses Which Take Allotment to Have Electric Emblems and
Frat Colors Worked Into Decoration Scheme
Money for Tickets Due by Sat
urday Night.
Pan-llellenic dance, the big social event of the year in the Greek
world, is only two weeks away. Fraternities have responded im
mediately to the plans of Kosmet Klub, under whose auspices the
dance is to be given at the Auditorium, February 23.
Nine tickets h.ave been allotted to each men's Greejf organiza
tion and over a half dozen have reached their Quotas and become
eligible to have their fraternity emblem used in the elaborate deco
ration scheme planned. Each fraternity that is represented by
nine or more men will have an electric sign of the crest and their
fraternity colors used in decorations, according to announcement
of the decoration committee.
As the ticket sale is being limited
to two hundred and fifty couples, the
Kosmet Klub is making Saturday,
February 17, the 'dead line" for all
money for tickets to be in the bands
of the club members. This is con
sidered necessary so that fraternities
which want more than their allotted
number may take up any extra tick
ets at other houses.
Alumni to Come.
Kosmet alumni from Omaha, Fre
mont and several other Nebraska
towns are expected to be in Lincoln
for Pan-Hcl. They will be given an
opportunity to hear one of two of the
songs which will be featured In the
Kosmet musical show at the Orpheum
later in the year. These songs were
written by C. L. Coombs, author of the
play.
Refreshments, programs, entertain
ment by University talent, a ten piece
orchestra, and other features have
bepn combined to make the formal
up to the standard of Tan-Hellenic
parties of pre-war days. One rep
resentative from Kosmet Klub is vis
iting each fraternity house to give
each house an equal opportunity to
secure the quota allotted.
The purpose for which Pan-Hel has
been revived this year, according to
members of Kosmet, is to bring the
Greek lettPr organizations together in
a social way, to create a greater spirit
of friendliness and co-operation, and
to bring them into harmony in boost
ing Nebraska activities.
Plans for Play.
At a meeting of Kosmet Klub held
in the Daily Nebraskan office Friday,
plans for tryouts for, "The Yellow
Lantern,' 'the 1923 play, were dis
cussed and additional plans for the
formal were announced.
No definite date has as yet been
Ret for the tryouts, but indications
point to the latter part of February
February or the first week in March
as the probable time. All students
in the University will be eligible for
parts in the cast and chorus of the
annual show.
On account of the fact that the Or
pheum theatre has changed manage
ment and a new policy is in effect,
the club has been able to change
the date of the play from Monday
night to Saturday night of the.fourtn
week in April. It is expected that
this will give more students an op
portunity to see the play.
Committees for the play, including
tryout committee and those in charge
of the business end of the produc
tion will be announced by the pres
ident within a short time. A new
plan of ticket sales will he followed
this year.
"Evening Shun" Material Must Be
Placed in Box by 5 P. M. Monday
The deadline for material for the
"Evening Shun" has been set for 5
o'clock Monday. Get busy and write
up that dope on your friend or enemy,
which ever it may be. The "Shun"
is slighting no one this year. The
editors have been working steadily
the past few days and already have
a large amount of "news" ready for
publication.
The box is in th.e Library entance
and any student contibutions will be
welcomed by the editors. Sigma Del
ta Chi does not want to limit this to
students alone but the members of the
faculty can help out the editors by
adding a little news to he "Shun"'
box.
With the new rule regarding the
censorship of the little "yellow"
paper in effect, the members of the
fraternity are straining every source

Maude Royden, famous English
woman preacher, will be in Lincoln
February 22, according to the Y. V.
C. A. Miss Royden will speak at St.
Paul's church Thursday evening,
February 22, under the auspices of
the association. February 23 Miss
Royden will go to Omaha to speak.
Lincoln women who heard Miss Roy
den at the international W. C. T. U.
convention brought home glowing re
ports of her charm and her message.
As founder of the New Fellowship
Services in London, Miss Royden, on
this, her third tour of America, is
-icheriuled to address more than one
hundred thousand people, and has,
been unable to accept more than one
tenth o fthe engagements offered.
A lecturer at Oxford University, a
ncn-militant suffragist, the firat
cman to occupy a great city pulpit,
Miss Royden has had a romantic car
eer. She is a daughter cf the late
Sir Thomas Royden, M. P., Lord
Mayor of Liverpool, and chairmin of
the Cunard Line, a high churchman
and a Tory. She studied at Chelter
ham Ladies' College and Lady Mar
garet Hall, Oxford, but was denied
a degree because of her sex, al
though she stood at the head of her
class in the School of Modern His
tory. Leaving college she went di
rectly to the slums of Liverpool to
work as a member of the Univer
sity Settlement, but was forced ta
lay aside this work after a year be
cause of poor health.

Botolph's church, Bishopsgate, in

"The students are expecting an ex

they are not to be disappointed in

interviewed regarding the "Evening

A close tab of the ballots cast for
a 'censored" or "uncensored" paper

FOUND IN OLD DESK
Book Used for Recording Essays
Lost for Thirty-Five
Years.
A. leather-covered volume containing
.ccord.s forgotten for thirty-five years
was discovered last week in an old
.wpewriter desk by rhili.) J. Hani
son, who has charge of repair
work and distribution of fur
nishings, Mr. Harrison found the book
m examing the desk, which ha3 been
in constant use.
The book is in fine condition, the
pages being as firmly stitched as the
lew, and the leather binding showing
the minimum of wear. On the back
in gilt letters are the won!';: "Record
Essays and Rhetotoricals, Volume 1,
University of Nebraska," and below,
"State Journal, Manufacturer. Lincoln,
Neb.'" V
The record begins with the class of
1SSS, giving the percentage of excel-c-:
cr- recorded students for freshmen,
sophomore and junior essays, rvw:
senior orations. Afte- lS!tt no sen'.or
or sophomore entries are made. '1 Ik:
entries after 1S91 are scattered and
cease entirely after 1S96.
Chancellor Avery came to Linto';
in 1S04, when entries in the book
were few. He has a slight recollec
tion of an early policy at the univer
sity of requiring freshmen to pre jure
essays for which no university cr: d
was allowed. The books s-eem t
have been a departments instead o'
a university record which would have
been placed as a matter of crursc
with records in the registrar's office.
Among the early shuVnls whose
e-says were g;aded in 1SS.S were Ros
coe Pound, O. V. P. Stout, Jared
Smith (now in Honolulu), George
Hippe Rogers and C. S. Lobingier of
Shanghai. In the 1889 lists appears
the name of T. S. Allen. In 1890
among the essay writers were Miss
Edna Bullock, Tom L. Hall, Gertrude
H. Laws (Mrs. V. -E. Hardy), and
Frank II. Woods, E. P. Brown was
credited with essay writing in 1891.
at the iP.iiie time as J. V. McCro.slcy
The 1S92 li:;ts included the names of
Louise Pound, Floyd Seybolt. F. A.
Stuff, May Freshing and Olive Latta
In looking over the marks attaincr'
by men who have risen to distinction
in the business world, it is noted that
the opinion of their essay writing ir
early days was usually not high. A
grade of 60 was quite common.

Oklahoma Gets First Conference
Game at Expense of
Nebraska.
Winning her first game of the sea
son, Oklahoma defeated the Husker
quintet on the Norman floor, 31 to
25 Friday night. After loosing the
first seven conference games the
Sooners found their winning stride
and rapped Ne'braska for their initial
victory of the year.
The Scarlet and Cream squad
traveled to the oil state as victors
In a previous encounter with the
Sooners but were taken in from the
opening minutes of the game by a
display of fast floor work. Oklahoma
led throughout the fray never being
in danger of losing the lead at any
time.
Not until the closing minutes oi
the final frame did the Nebraska of
fensive threaten to injure the Sooner
lead. Usher, midget forward, started
with a brand of brilliant basket shoot
ing that netted half a dozen field
goals and challenged the outcome of
the game.
The Nebraska rally came too late
and did nothing more than balance
up the otherwise lop-sided score. The
Sooner center, Johnson, was star of!
the game with eight field goals from
the court to his credit.

The article which won the second time demanded such a leader and he

Education.
By SHELBY H. ATCHLEY,
Freshman, University of Idaho.
Today every walk of life demands
college bred men as never before. The
problems of society economic, indus
trial, and political demand that our
citizenship shall be liberally educat
ed; that the constituency of every
profession shall have that training
which is necessary for common un
derstanding and concerted action.
Liberal education means not only
intelligent and concerted action but
high standards of living. It means
a true appreciation ot realities. Lin
coln was an educated man despite
the fact that he was not college bred.
HEADLINER OF . PROGRAM
Chosen for Skits Everyone Re
The Evening Shun will be the head
liner of the program as in previous
years and the members of Sigma Delta
Chi, men's' professional journalistic
fraternity, will sell th,e University
Bcandal sheet in the lobby of the the
atre following the fhow. The price
will be the same as in o!ht-r years,
five cents per copy. Students and ev
eryone attending are requested to
!r:ng their small ch:.ngfi for the pur
chase of the paper as the rush is al
ways so great that it is almost im-
possibel to make change. Exra papers
will be given in place of change where
ever it is possible.
The committee in charge are having
a meeting this afternoon and a num
ber of the skits are being rehearsed.
The entire program will be announced
in the columns of the Daily Nebras
kan in a few days. Consideration is
being given all the skits that are hand
ed in and in this way only the most
desirable will be picked. "Students
will have a chance to see one of the
best University Night programs ever
presented at Nebraska.," were the
words of Chairman Ellcr yesterday.
"A r oie who dees not feel that they
williug to refund their ruonr-y and I
h-ve the'r money's wov!!i e.f'er the
show is over will find us more than

There are many good musical num

the committee in charge is having
difficulty in choosing the best of
these so the student body may know
that only the best musical talent in
the University will be presented.
