REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE NU UPSILON TAU TAU Officials Oust New Society Formed Without Their ' Approval. Illegally organized, the society calling itself -Nu Upsilon Tau Tau, the installation of which was an nounced yesterday, ceased, to exist because it had been formed without the approval of the University com mittee on student organizations. From Executive Dean Carl C. Eng berg's office yesterday came the for mal announcement that, inasmuch as the society had been organized with out official recognition, "it is hereby ordered to cease its existence and never to attempt to reorganize." The organization was begun at the University of Texas in. 1917 but has no chapters at other institutions. SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY IS STAGED IN TEMPLE Jess Coffer and Martha Miller Are Stars in "Taming of the Shrew." Jess Coffer as Petruchio and Mar tha Miller as Katherine, the shrew, were the life of Shakespeare's fa mous comedy, "Taming of the Shrew," presented last evening by the Cpf fer-Miller Players at the Tem ple theater. With his rapid transitions from the man of rage to the sweet-spoken husband, Mr. Coffer played the role of the wife-tamer as Shakespeare might have imagined his ideal when he fled from London to escape the loud 'larums," "clamorous tongue," and "shrewish rage" of Ann Hatha way. Her sudden tantrums in which she realistically displayed uncontainable rage at everything, won the whole applause of the 'audience for Martha Miller. Charles Booth in two minor parts, Neil Smith and Louise Sayer as ser vants, and Edouard Schmidt as a stuttering tailor rounded out the hu morous atmosphere, and presented sharp contrast to the screaming of the shrew and the cursing of her husband. Arthur Curran as Baptista, Kath- erine's father, was gentle and meek. The theme of the play is Petruch- io's brave determination to marry a girl with whom no one is ableo live peaceably. His introduction comes just as she has finished breaking a rote over her music masters head. Undaunted, Petruchio woos her valiantly, directs that the marriage shall be the next day, and then comes late to the wedding dressed in old riding clothes. At every suggestin of a wish from Katherine, Petruchio orders the op posite to be done. He keeps her fasting to break her will. As Shakes peare imagined the ideal case, the shrew at last admits her fault, be comes tractable, and even calls her father a "fair maiden" when her husband designates him so. "The Rivals" will be staged by the Coffer-Miller Players this evening as their last presentation in Lincoln. t ' -"- .--- . ; - , .r; ; ' - 'i I . - i .... i i - --' v.-Ai - J A scene from "The Rivals," Sheridan's famous comedy, to be presented by the Coffer-Miller Players this evening at 8:20 in the Temple theater as the last of their series of classic productions in Lincoln under contract with the University Players.

The University Printing Plant Its Development and What It Does An instructor in printing was se cured, about November 1, 1921, for training United States veteran bu reau students who were being sent to the University of Nebraska for training. It was thought at that time that there would be many who would want to take up this vocation, and, as a result, a small print ing plant was established, consist ing of two small job presses, a linotype, a drum-cylinder, press, to gether with the necessary type, etc., to constitute a small shop such as is found in country newspaper plants. Enrollment la Small. In January, 1922, there was one student; in February there were four, and throughout the year there were from five to seven. At the begin ning of 1923 there were five students, and, for most of the year, there were three and four. At the end of that school year, it was decided that there was very little interest taken in print ing on the part of the students and that as a result the government would send no more' students for this course. By this time the University had from time to time done some of its regular printing through these channels and it seemed that, as far as service was concerned, it was much easier to do what University print ing it was possible to do in the plant than to send it out to commer cial printers; and it was also found to be cheaper in most cases. It was decided, therefore, to put in what additional equipment was necessary Spring Vacation Will Start Saturday Noon Spring vacation begins Saturday, March 29, at noon and closes April 3 at 8 o'clock. With the disappear ance of the snow and rain, many stu dents are planning to drive to their homes. Everything seems to be turning homeward, according to the post mistress of Station A who says that laundry bags containing everything from old sho-es to furs have been sent out in the last two days. The Daily Nebraskan will also take a vacation. The paper today will be the last one printed until after vaca tion. The next issue will be that of Friday, April 4. ENGINEERING STUDENTS TAKE INSPECTION TRIP Seventy-six Men Will See Plants in Six Cities of Three States. Seventy-six students of the Col lege of Engineering will make their annual inspection trip from March 30 to April 5. They will inspect plants and buildings in six cities of Iowa, In diana and Illinois. . The tour will be under the direc tion of F. W. Norris, C. M. Duff, C. A. Sjogren, O. E. Hager and J. D. Parsons, faculty members of the col lege. The party will make its head quarters at the Hotel Majestic in Chicago from which side trips will be taken. The Engineers will leave Lincoln Sunday afternoon, March 30, on the Burlington. The first stop will be made in Burlington, ,1a., Monday morning. A side trip to the famous low-head dam at Keokuk, la., will be made from Burlington Monday after noon. The party will reach Chicago Tuesday morning and will inspect the plant of the International Harvester company. The rest of the week will be spent in Chicago with trips to Indiana Har bor, Buffington, and Whiting, Ind. A number of plants in Chicago will also be inspected, including Sherwin Wil liams Paint Manufacturing company; Sears, Roebuck and company; West ern Electric company; Northwestern passenger terminal; Chicago Art In stitute; Miniature Lamp Works, and the Cora Products Refining company. The inspection trip will end Saturday, April 5, at noon, the party returning to Lincoln that night. Juniors and seniors from the de partments of electrical, civil, mechan ical, architectural, chemical and ag ricultural engineering must go on at least one trip before graduation. Long and short trips are taken in alter nate years in order to work no hard ship on students who cannot afford such an extended trip as that to Chicago. to make a printing plant of such size as would . take care of all the Uni versity printing. Additional machinery was added, and the University now has a print ing plant that takes care of all its printing, including all of the agri cultural bulletins, the general cata logs, together with the various de partmental bulletins, etc. The Print Shop also prints the University Daily Nebraskan, thereby making it possible for the students to get out heir en tire publication without leaving the campus. Make Investigation.. Before the printing laboratory was enlarged to take care of the whole University printing, an investigation was made of several of the larger universities of the middle-west which have their own printing plants, and it was found that in -every instance the authorities in charge were of the opinion that their plants were pay ing and -especially were worth while from the point of service. It was also found that a material . saving was made in the cost of paper which could be bought in large quantities. The School of Journalism, organ ized last May, is being developed and plans are now being worked out to use the print shop laboratory more and more. The printing in this plant is lim ited to University printing. No at tempt is made to do any printing other than that actually belonging to activities of the University. KOSMET TICKET SALE ANNOUNCED Reserved Seats for "The Wish ing Ring" Go on Sale After Vacation. PRESENT PLAY AT ORPHEUM APRIL 25 Reserved seats for "The Wishing Ring", 1924 Kosmet Klub production, will go on sale soon after spring vaca tion at the Orpheum theater box office. According to Kosmet Klub members in charge, no seats will be sold before that time, so that the first people appearing will have chances for the best seats. The musical comedy will be pre sented April 25 at the Orpheum. Only one performance will be given. This will reduce the number of tickets sold to 1200, which fills the Orpheum to capacity. Last year the seats were sold in a few hours. . Change Cost Slightly. A few changes have been made in the cast, and the chorus has been cut down. Several changes were made because of ineligibility.

Donna Gustin is directing one of the choruses and will appear as one of the leading dancers of the show.
