TEMPLE THEATER WILL ALSO BE
USED FOR UNI NIGHT PROGRAM
Tickets Will Go on Sale from 1 to 2 for Students and 3 to 4 for
Members of the Faculty Same Bill Will Be Pro
duced as Played at the Orpheum
Theater.
ECH PERSON IS LIMITED TO ONLY FOUR TICKETS
Many Students Unable to Obtain Pasteboards at Orpheum When
Theater Was Sold Out in Exactly One Hour
Temple Will Accommodate Five
Hundred People.
Tickets for University Night were sold out in one hour yes
terday morning at the Orpheum theater and the committee has
secured the Temple Theater for Saturday night where the same
production M ill be put on, enabling more of the University students
to attend.
The Temple has a seating capacity of about 500 people and
the scat sale will start at 1 p. m. sharp and continue until 2 o'clock
for the students and members of the faculty can secure tickets
from 3 until 4. Four tickets will be the limit that one person may
secure. Students were in line as early as 8:30 in the morning to
jret the lest seats at the Orpheum and it is expected that the
Temple will sell out in a short time.
By using both the Temple and the
Orpheum, Chairman Eller is confl
dent that the majority of the student
body that desires to go to the annual
production will be able to get tickets
at one of the places. This is the
first rear that this Idea has ever
been tried and It is an entirely new
enterprise for the University Night
Committe.
At a committee meeting last ujght
the remaining few akits that are to
appear on the program were gont
over and from all indications it will
be by far the best production thai
has ever been presented to the stu
dents. Sigma Delta Chi has promised
a really snappy "Evening Shun" t
top off the show with. The "Shun
management has made arrangements
to that the little paper wiU be soli
at both the Orpheum and Temple.
The complete program has not
been given out as yet but it is pretty
definitely settled that the skits al
ready spoken of will be on the pro
gram. Chairman Eller expects to en
large the tentative program somewhat
and put one or two more desirable
skits on. This will lengthen it some
what but all of the skits have been
high above the average that are pin
on at the University Night produc
tion and they, were added chiefly foi
that reason.

Thomas A. Edison, the great in
ventor, has said that the modern
youth is spoiled by his education.
Today comes D. H. A. Z. Swackhan
ner, who says that the University
student cannot answer the questions
which he propounds. The Daily Ne
braskan, wishing to give all the credit
possible to the students of the Uni

questions, which Mr. Swackhanner
says they cannot answer, and the
answers may be left at the office of
the publication. The correct figures
will be published in the near future,
as soon as the returns have been
tabulated.
Following is the questionnaire,
which was left in the office by the
learned statistician, who is dark in

perfectly certain that fie alone holds
the secret of the solution of the prob
lems which he has propounded.

FOREIGN STUDENTS WILL SPEAK AT
. SPECIAL CONVOCATION AT TEMPLE
Will Tell of Tendencies and Movements Among the Young Feople
of Their Respective Countries Are Accompanied by
Jasper King of 'Chicago, Representative
National Student Forum. .
WILL ADDRESS GIRLS AT VESPER SERVICES TODAY
HEAR DEAN FERGUSON
Speaks on Technical Work or
Work in Field of Economics
for Electrical Engineers.
Visitors Have Many Individual Characteristics and Have Had
Many Experiences Which They Will Give to Univer
sity Students at Various Meetings
During Their Stay.
At the special convocation to be held Tuesday morning at 11
o'clock in the Temple, Piet Boost of Leiden, Holland, and Hans
Tiesler of Berlin, Germany, will speak of tendencies and move
ments among the young people of their respective countries. Mr.
Tiesler will speak more particularly on the youth movement and its
-WeloDment in Germany, and Mr. Roest will talk on the practical
idealist movement in Holland.
These two foreign students, who arrived Monday evening, are
accompanied by Jorgen Holch of Copenhagen, Denmark, and Jas
per King, University of Chicago, '20, representative of the Na
tional Student Forum, under whose auspices these students are
touring the country.
"The Forum brought the foreign
students to America with th feeling
that It and those Interested in the
type of work it was doing wculd profit
by hearing what young Europe was
doing to cope with the very discour
aging and hopeless outlook in their
countries. The Forum also hoped that
these men and the stories they had
to tell would be of value to the stu
dents a'nd in general to the young
people of America. This was just a
hope. Whether or not it was justi
fied, the Forum could not tell," says
Mr. King in outlining the purpose of
the National Student Forum in bring
ing these young men to this country.
At Vespers at 5 o'clock in Ellen
Smith hall, Mr. Tiesler and Mr. Roest
will address the girls of the Univer
sity, telling them of the movements
and the feelings of the students in
their own home countries.
Jasper King, .who is accompanying
the foreign students in America, was
graduated in 1920 from the University
of Chicago where he is a member of
Beta Theta Pi. After his graduation,
he studied law tt Harvard.
Hans Tiesler, the student from
Germany, who is peihaps the most
aggressive cf the three, is individual
istic in all his ideas. At one time
he and sir. friends lived together in
Jena conducting a co-operative indus
try as an experiment on how co-operation
can cxifct in the midst of
competition. His knowledge is based
principally on seeing, thinking, and
feeling, for h!s life has been aa hard
as it has been varied, especially in
the last four years. Hans was but
eighteen years old at the time of the
revolution in Germany and his sym
pathies were with the more radical
parties, lie was under arrest for a
time and attended Carl'Wilke's school
for prisoners and delinquents, where
he arrived at the conclusion that his
ideas were quite different from those
held by the revolutionaries. This
student v.l.o is the type that repre
sents the hope of Germany will at
tempt to give Germany a fair showing
in the eyes of Am;rieans, he asserts.
Holland is not a country affected
directly by the World War and it is
perhaps surprising to find a youth
renaissance there than in the coun
tries whose every system, social and
economic, has been shaken, say Stu
dent Forum officials. Piet Roest is
the Dutch student HI life, has 1
the Dutch student. His lite, has been
one of Jns and outs and IiU struggle
for education and existence has evi
dently played the usual part In de
velopment cf character. He is now
a medical student at tho University
of I.ydcii. and. also, a member of
the Practical IJea!!st Association.
From person! contact he knows the
attitude and ccrdlt'or.3 of young
peple cf a'.l classes in Holland.
Jorgen. Hoick, the Dan.su student,
has always been active l:i interna
tional student life. His work at th
University of Copenhagen was mainly
In the study of theolopy .;jd the his
tory of civilization. In 1321 h? took
part in the All-Scandinavian Congress
at Stockholm and in the later part
it that year went to England to
study social condition.;. He has
worked in ccnnectlo'n with the Stn
dent Christian Movement in its set
tlement house where stu lents pass on
tnclr instructions to workers who ve '
unable to attend university.
Srictly technical work or work in
the field of econmics connected with
engineering are two fields of service
within the grasp of the man who has
a broad technical training in elec
trical engineering, Dean O. J. Fer
guson of the College of Engineering
said in speaking to freshmen engin
eering students last night at 5 o'clock
In M. E. 205. Possible improvement
and probable future development in
electrical work formed a part of his
lecture. He outlined the advantages
that come with a college education
and compared them with the limita
tions of a trade school course.
"In technical work there is electric
lighting, telephon, telegraph, transmis
sion of electrical energy, and electro
chemistry. "Contrasted with this is the field
of economics. Managers of public
utilities who handle the financial end
the basis on which money is to be
provided for the use of the compan
ies are generally, for better results,
men who understand the technical
work of the company.
"The question of whether public
utilities should be monpolies has
never been fully settled. Richt here
in Lincoln we have three companies
supplying light and power. Is this
econmic? Is competition what we
need ? W ould we be served more
economically in all the railways run
ning into Lincoln were a part of one
system?" Dean Fprgtison asked.
"There are laws fcrbiding competing
railroads to combine. Are these
proper laws? What rights must wc
give to. electrical transmission com
panies? The lawyer has his place in such
fields, he pointed out, but a lawyer
could hardly be expected to go far in
solving technical problems. Conse
quently, he declared, engineers must
broaden their province of knowledge.
"Cheap power is an conmic subject
of vital importance," he went on. "If
power Is cfieap there is a great de
velopment of manufacture, and we
have great systems of transportations
to carry raw materials to the places
towhere power is available.
'Shall we transport raw materials
to Niagara Falls and do our manu
facturing there or shall we transport,
figureatlvely speaking, our power to
some other point and do our manufac
turing where raw materials are avail
able? The answer to (his question is
in dollars and cents.
"Public service commissions exist
In many states. They may have su
pervision of all public utilites, or r
most states, over only a part of them.
We know that as rapidly as public
utilities develop their Interests show
some conflict with those of the pub
lic and we now agree bat the pub
lic should have a hand in their man
agement through 'its representatives,
the elected officials."
Great improvement is possible in
th etechnical field of electrical en
gineering Dean Ferguson asserted. He
stated that only three per cent of
the enrgy of the coal is converted
