Freshmen will not be eligible for
tryouts for the Kosmet Klub play
tryurts to be held Monday and Tues
day evenings, March G and 6, accord
ing to an announcement from the of
fice of the Dean of Women yesterday.
The decision is the result of the fact
that so many night rehearsals are
necessary, says Miss Heppner. The
rule has been in force for all produc
tions this year, she says.
Students from the upper classes
who wish to try out for roles in the
Kosmet Klub prdouction may register
in the office of the Daily Nebraskan
in the basement of the Administration
building. Tryouts will be held from
7:30 to 10 o'clock, on Monday and
Tuesday evenings.
Each person who tries out will be
given five minutes, but if two people
try at the same time in the same skit,
more time will be allowed. The place
for the tryouts will be announced
later.

This generous act of the Creek breth

of the' dress suit an immense increase
in trouble. It would not have been
so troublesome if the suit had been

parts could have utilized the whole
suit, not going to every corner of
the county in gathering his make-up.

Some exception to the application
of the term "cow college stuff," to
the misbehavior of students at re
cent atletic contests in the Armory,
has been taken by those of the col

their characteristics. "Be it known,"
recently declared Professor Borland,
head of the Penn State Dairy De

and refinement with the cows at the
dairy barn than obtains in the com
pany of those who act like rowdies
at any of the college functions."

furthermore they are entitled to re

FRESHMEN
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA,
The Gentle Voice of Spring is
Calling to University Students
Spring has came, and with it all
the old 'familiar characteristics. Wc
have changed our brisk gait to a slow
saunter and we slouch along dragging
our books with a stricken air. Of
course the stricken airs are not en
tirely due to spring; the coming mid
semesters, and the instructors who ex
pect students actually to work may
have something to do with this.
How terrible it is to sit in quiz and
lecture and feel the whole outdoors
calling! Sometimes it doesn't call in
vain, however, for how many of us
can resist that dreadful temptation to
just skip that class? Surely once
won't count much. One day out in
the great open spaces where men are
men would certainly enable us to
come back to our work with renewed
interest and vim.
We certainly have a great oppor
tunity to acquire merit by working
in some poetry here the deuce of it
is that we can't think of anything ex
cept that ditty about the young man's
fancy (or was it fiancee), and that's
worn to the heel.
Everyone goes about with a half
bored and half sleepy look and the
whole campus seems to have taken
on a different aspect. We expect to

Future Husbands
. "Tlit iv is no such thing." replied
Agnes -v '"Li aster, '21, co-ed feature

ideal huslinad by a Daily Student re
porter, yesterday.
It. senilis, however, that the major
ity of co-eds, tbough they "date" here
and "date" there, do have some con
ception of an ideal husband. Most ol
them agree, that lie 'doesn't have to
be good looking either. The most
!'uvr:d (iiia'.ities in the super-spouse
seem to be that he be a good sport,
congenial and a mixer.
According to Peg Wight,, '23, an
:le;tl husband should he athletic, so
cial, a good mixer and a good dancer.
He does not have to he good looking
if he has personality and he abso.
lately must not have a "long" line.
Lucy Sickler, '24, said, "He must
have congeniality of taste. We must
have a broad understanding of each
other so that we won't fly off the.
handle at little things. He does
not need to be good looking, for then
he would be Conceived and would fall
too easily for other women."
Preachers and professors do not
seem to hold favor as vocations for
ideal husbands, although few co-eds
hold any concern at all regarding
the work of their husbands so long as
it is lucrative.
Marie Carothers, president of V. W.
C. A., expressed the desire for a
farmer husband, so she could live on
a farm. "But," she added, "he must
have a car, for I'm not going to go
jigging along In a Ford or behind a

Particular Ones
Guard the Doors
In nearly every book that I read
in my youth, I was impressed with the
difficulty which accompanied an in
terview with those higher up. One
had to tri.ke just so many steps, have
one5s train cut to just the proper
length, and make ju. t so many bows.
But when I had my first real exper
ience with r.cbility, 1 had no difficulty
whatsoever. My father pimply boost
ed on his shoulders and I saw the
president go by. The only difficulty
came when I shouted, "Hurrah for de
mocracy!" for the president happened
to be a republican, but he. took no
tice of my extreme youLh and smiled
indulgently.
Of late, however, 1 have found that
life has become more and more as the
novelists have painted it, that it is
getting harder and harder to se the
people who get their pictures in the
papers. I had to pay three dollars to
even look at Al Jolson when he was
here.
Hut the other day I experienced the
most difficulty 1 had ever expected in
getting an interview. I didn't think
my question so very important, but
the woman who guarded the portal.!
of the one higher up felt she had to
take every precaution.
Staring fearlessly through her tortoise-shell
glasses, she bade me pre
pare to answer some questions that it
was necessary to ask me. After tell
ing her my name, address, class, col
lege, and whether or not 1 had an au
tomobile, I thought I was through.
"What does your father do?" she
asked, suddenly.
"Works," I replied.
't took five more question to find
what sort of work he did and whether
he had a life insurance policy.
"Is your mother a college gradu
ate?" "No, but she went east."
"Does your mother belong to the
Woman's club?"
"No, but she read "Main Street,"
just the Fame."
Dialogue takes up too much space
for a reature, ho let it suffice that in
the half-hour that followed, she found
out my stand on the honor system, t!
ship subsidy bill, and how many gen
erations back in my family had be
lieved in evolution. I told her how
many mortgages we had on the house,
how many times the grocer came
around for his bill, and our favorite
hock shop.
A little bell rang three times and
my inquisitors advised me that the
one higher up was ready for me but
to be sure not to take more than fiva
minutes. I promised to be a good boy
and entered the sacred chamber. The
goal of my quest looked up from a
deskfull of papers. "What do you
want?" he asked.
"Can you tell me," I asked, " if we
have a holiday on Thursday?"-
FOUR HUNDRED
DOLLARS RAISED
ON FIRST DAY
One-Fourth of Total Amount Al
ready Contributed Con
tinues Until Friday
Evening.
SIXTEEN TEAMS WOUK1NG
Luncheons Will lie Held Every
Day of Drive at Ellen Smith
Hall for the Team
Workers.
More than four hundred dollars had
been raised toward the Grace Cop
pock Memorial Fund drive for fl.GOO
at 1 o'clock Wednesday. This is very
encouraging owing to th? fact that
one-fourth the amount has been raised
in the first half-day of the drive, says
Mary Ellen Whelpley, chairman of the
co.nmiUee. The average pir me nber
is high and the team workers are
satisfied that a high percentage of
girls are contributing, .-he .-a;..-. A
very thorough canvass is bo-'ng made
and and careful records are kept of
the contributions. The canvassing will
continue until Friday evenirg. Team
members are urged to have a final
report ready Friday noon at the
luncheon.
Miss Vera McReynolds, a mission
ary to China who is home on furlough,
spoke at the noon meeting of the
members of the sixteen teams. She
spoke on conditions in China and the
need of help from Christian countries
there. Miss McReynolds will return
to China at the end of the school year.
Ruth Carpenter led devotions, and
Mary Ellen Whelpley, chairii::n of
the Grace Coppock Fund drive gave a
report.
The greatest obstacle to Chri.-tian-ity
in China and progress in educa
tional and social lines is the in. i-tence
on strict duty and obedience to older
people, says Miss McReynold.-. Many
people in China who are really Chris
tians at heart dare rot take a stand
in public. Through the influence of
the V. W. C. A., with the young girls,
this feeling will be gradually changed,
she phophecics.
Quoting from a report of Grace
Coppock's submitted just before her
death, the improvement in conditions
in China can be r.otfu: "Thirteen
years ago I was one cf three . ocre
taries, all from the United States.
Today I am one of eighty-nine secre
taries from China, Sweden, Australia,
Canada and the United States, and I
assure you it is much more worth
while to be one of so many.
Thirteen years ago there was the be
ginning of a city association among
the mills girls in Shanghai, today six
cities in China have organizations.
I was taken at Canton by a
Chinese woman doctor to see a fine
large piece of lad on which the city
association had an option and on
which they propose to build a Y. W.
C. A. as soon as America will give
the money."
