Work Started on
New Directory of
Nebraska Alumni
(University of Publicity Office)
Work has been started on the new
Alumni Directory of the University
of Nebraska which will probably be
ready for distribution about June 1.
In the University Journal for Febru
ary, every alumnus is urged to fill
out 'a questionnaire inserted in the
magazine, thus enabling the -Alumni
association to compile an accurate di
rectory. The new book is to contain
such information as'the number of
years at the University; degrees
granted by Nebraska; degrees from
other Universities; University honors;
public offices or positions held; honors
conferred since leaving the Univer
sity, etc.
The new directory will be an asset
to alumni in the formation of clubs,
since information concerning Nebras
ka graduates will be immediately
available. It will also be of value
in arousing interest among prospec
tive University students.
A Lenten Thought
for Every Day
A NEW PATRIOTISM
To give to the world hope, to con
vince the world that love is still the
normal condition of Humanity, to pur
ify the atmosphere so that our pois
oned spirits shall nt last recover the
possibility of love and hope, this is
to conceive of p'riotism as Christ did.
This is to render to the world a ser
vice which jvill constitute America's
claim to the immortal gratitude of all
the world. This is indeed to give to
the world a new gift and to civiliza
tion new wealth.

LINCOLN, NE1UIASKA,
High Percentage of Girls Enrolled
in University Work Way Through
(University Publicity Office.)
One-third of the women students in
the University of Nebraska last se
mester (G50 out of 1,900,) worked their
way, wholly or in part. This semes
ter, of 400 working, 201 ere staadily
employed 125 in offices, and 76 in
homes. Scholarship delinquencies
among these women are considerably
less than among those who are not
working.
No restrictions as to the kind of
work are made by the University, but
the amount is regulated. A student
carrying the maximum number of
hours (17) should not attempt to carry
outside work for pay, except on Sat
urdays. The Dean of Women's office
recommends that a woman registered
for 14 hours spend no more than four
hours a day on self-support work. If
her health is not the best, she is ad
vised to reduce the registration hours
still further.
The kinds of work available for wo
men students, with the hour earning
power of each, are:
Domestic work for room and board,
stenographic (40 cents) in: Profes
sors' offices, executive offices, news-;
paper work, insurance work, library
positions, doctors' offices, stenographic
shops, banks, post office; sales work
(25 to 35 cents) in: Art shops, book
stores, department stores, grocery
stores, 5-and-10-cent stores; waitress
work (for meals and 25c): Tea-room
waitress work, University cafeteria,
afternoon .teas in private homes,
luncheon parties in private homes,
dinner parties in private homes, board
ing houses, Women's club afternoon
teas; caring f children (25 cents);
miscellaneous work (25, 35, 40 cents):
Tutoring, ironing, sewing in millinery
departments, advertising, commercial
art, teaching positions in' city schools,
FOUGHT
E
Buskers Nosed Out by One
Counter in Two Extra
Periods.
Nebraska's basketball team was
nosed out of a bitterly contested bat
tle that went to two extra periods by
the Washington University aggrega
tion, on the Piker's floor Friday night.
At the end of the first half, the
Pikers were leading 18 to 12, but the
Huskers flashed an attack in the
opening minutes of the second frame
that gave Nebraska the advantage.
Usher was mainly responsible for the
Nebraska rally in the second half and
the count stood 26 all at the end of
the second half.
In the extra period called, Cozier
and Usher were the first to score but
Minner and Wagner pulled the same
stunt for the Washington cagestcrs
and the score was a 30 all tie at the
end of the first extra session.
Usher again slipped in the first
goal for Nebraska during the second
extra period but the Pikers followed
with two goals and won the game.
Minner topped the score column with
a total of 24 of the Pikers' 34 points.
Cozier led the scoring for Nebraska
with a count of 14 and Usher fol
lowed in with 11 points.
Petition for Repeal of Smoking
and Chewing Rule is Presented
A pernicious petition, which has for
its purpose the repeal of the prohi
bition against smoking and chewing,
has recently made its appearance on
the campus. It is understood that an
intensive drive is soon to be made
for signatures. The Daily Nebraskan
believes that the bulk of student sen
timent is not in favor of this agita
tion, and that an active and powerful
minority is attempting to saddle its
views upon the student body as a
whole.
The exact text of the infamous pe
tition follows.
"Dear Board of Regents:
"The rule made against smoking
and tobacco chewing in and around
University buildings should be re
pealed, annulled, recalled, expurgated,
or whatever it is you do to your cld-
fashioned and useless decrees. Your
order forbidding chewing and smoking
has long been disregarded, and the
fact that this prohibition still mas
querades as a real injunction has a
bad effect on the observance of de
crees which were really merit to be
enforced.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1923
correcting papers.
If the women work for room and
board, four hours a day is required.
Often car fare, luncheon money and
laundry work are included in com
pensation. There are 80 women doing
this work, and only 11 were reported
as delinquent for the last half of the
first semester.
The student's health is not affected
by work, and in most cases her acad
emic standing does not suffer, altho
it is to be expected that she could not
do as well as the unemployed student.
It is the social life which is affected;
for the girJ who works has little time
for participation in social activities.
The exceptional girl will find time for
outside activities, and in some cases
to fill honorary student offices.
The woman student who is working
has the same social standing as any
other student, says the Dean of Wo
men. There is a, democratic .spirit
prevalent which serves to dispel any
aloofness of the sensitive employed
student. In no way is there any lack
of deference shown these students.
The matter of low prices paid for
student help has suggested the ques
tion whether it would be wiser for
women students to borrow than to do
self-support work. Freshman women
are advised to work because no loan
funds are available for them. It is
often necessary and wise, however, for
the junior or senior to borrow.
There are two student employment
bureaus in the University one con
ducted for men students through the
University Y. M. C. A., and the other
for the women students in connection
with the office of the Dean of Women.
A member of her staff, together with
the personal help of the dean, her
self, attends to the employment of
University women.

"The items in favor of repealing
the prohibition against smoking and
chewing, (which we believe you will
find decisively conclusive) are as fol
lows: "(11) Repeal would save the Uni
versity authorities the embarrassment
they suffer at present by pretending
they really enforce this regulation.
"(2). Under the existing decree,
conscientious students (who imagine
the order was honestly meant to be
observed) waste time and effort by
walking several blocks away from the
campus when theywant to "light up"
or expectorate a "quid" of Horseshoe.
"(3). The rule was doubtless meant
to give the University an air of re
finement and decency, but everyone
who has read the Shun knows how
impossible that is.
"(4). Girls don't object to cigaret
smoke any more many of them, In
fact, like to inhale the fumes.
"(5). Since the war, cigaret smok
ing has become so general that a rule
forbidding it is like a statute prohibit
ing kissing you can't enforce it

Players' Next Play "The Mean
est Man in the World,"
Starred by Cohen.
"The Meanest Man In the World,"
to be produced by the University
Players in the Temple theater March
1, 2 and 3, is one of the plays in which
George M. Cohen starred. The drama
played for a season in the Hudson
theater in New York.
The play is not like the ordinary
ones, say those who have been pres
ent at the rehearsals. It is life spread
out before the spectator. Its char
acters are more realistic, and seem
to live on the stage, according to the
dramatic critics.
The drama is woven about a theme
which tells the story mostly in com
edy, although the moral is scarcely
to be missed. There is opportunity
for thought Comedy, a love story,
and drama combined to make the play
what it is, a sure-fire hit, according
to the New York Telegram which
says of it: "A typically popular Amer
icanplay, cleanly drawn characters of
an amusing sort. Decidedly enter
taining a play that will be welcomed
by the theater-goers. The play
abounds in rapid everyday humor and
its obvious hits rlgister easily and
satisfy completely."

UNI CHORUS WILL
PUT ON OPERETTA
FOR CONVOCATION
"A Tale of Old Japan" Will Be
Presented Thursday Morn
ing at Eleven O'Clock.
TO BE HELD IN ARMORY
Group of Three Hundred Will
Sing in Chorus with Special
Solos Feature of the
Play.
"A Tale of Old Japan," an operetta
by Coleridge Taylor, will be presented
by the University Chorus under the
direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond,
Thursday, March 1, at 11 o'clock in
the Armory. The operetta is, says
Mrs. Raymond, somewhat similar to
that of "Madame Butterfly." No
classes will be excused, but the pro
duction is highly recommended by the
musicians of the school. The chorus
will be accompanied by the usual
string quartet, composed of Edward
J. Walt, who ploys the first violin,
Mrs. August Molzer, on the second
violin, William T. Quick, viola, Lil
lian Eiche, 'cellist, Mark Pierce, bass,
and Donna Gustin, at the piano.
The soloists for the operetta will be:
Mrs. C. E. Matson, soprano, Lucile
Cline, mezzo, Francis Diers, tenor, and
Oscar Bennet, bass.
The chorus this year is larger than
usual, says Mrs. Raymond. Nearly
three hundred students of the Uni
versity sing in the production of the
organization.
The story of the operetta, which is,
to be given Thursday, is much similar
to that of the opera "Madame But
terfly." A young American goes to
Japan to study art under the direc
tion of a Japanese master. While in
the foreign country, a native girl falls
desperately in love with him. He re
gards her as a child but at the same
time is drawn toward her by her per
sonality. The denouement of the piece, which
would be disastrous to reveal too soon,
is somewhat different from what the
listener expects.
STUDENTS MAY TRY
FOR CADET RATING
Competitive Examinations Will
Stars April 16 Engineers
May Get Commissions.
Competitive examinations for rating
as cadets and cadet engineers in the
United States coast guard will be held
for three days commencing April 16,
1923. Any one with a high school edu
cation should be able to pass the ex
aminations. The age limits for cadets
are 18 to 24, and for cadet engineers
20 to 25 years. The selected men are
educated at the Coast Guard Academy
at New London, Conn., and each sum
mer are taken for a practice cruise.
Cadets receive the same pay and
allowances as midshipmen in the navy
($780 per annum, and one ration a
day). There are an extra large num
ber of vacancies this year in the ser
vice, and the opportunity to complete
and education at the expense of the
government is especially favorable.
For further particulars, the applicant
should write to the Commandant, U.
S. Coast Guard, Washington, D. C.
Upon gr..lu.' ioi , r.ftev trice years
at the academy, a cadet becomes a
commissioned officer in the grade of
ensign in the United States coast
guard. A cadet engineer, upon grad
uation, after one year at the academy,
is commissioned an ensign (engineer
ing). Commissioned officers of the
coast guard rank with officers in the
army, navy, and marine corps, and
receive corresponding pay and allow
ances, grade for grade.
The mental examination for cadets,
which will follow the physical, will
consume three days. Applicants for
cadetships who present satisfactory
certificates that they have completed
the equivalent of a four year high
school course and received fourteen
credits in subjects prescribed by head
quarters will be required to take a
written examination in the following
subjects only: Mathematics, (algera
and geometry), history id English.
Those who do not present certificates
showing that they have had the equiv
alent of fourteen credits, as pre
scribed, will be required to take an ex
amination in the following subjects:
Mathematics, (algebra and geometry),
history, English, physics or chemistry
or general science, Latin or German
