Bess Gearhart Morrison drew a large audience of Lincoln and Uni versity people to her reading of Channing Pollock's "The Fool" at the Temple theater Tuesday evening. She called herself a "hick elocutionist" from Lincoln, Nebraska, end in formed her hearers, in an opening speech, that Channing Pollock called himself a "hick playwright" from Omaha, Nebraska. She gave to each character an out standing personality without the ad vantages of costume and stage set ting. Each figure in the play she made definite through working out accurately the details of personality. Mrs. Morrison's words were well-col ored. She used a large range of voice. Daniel Gilchrist, the man whose philosophy of life is worked out in the play, begins as the assistant rec tor in a fashionable New York church. He loses his position through determination to preach the truth with uncompromising words. Claire Jewett, breaks their engagement be cause he insists on giving his wealth to the poor and Gilchrist accepts em ployment as a labor mediator for George F. Goodkind, father of "Jer ry." Jerry is the villain ol the plot and wins Claire because he can as sure her of luxury. Gilchrist becomes too interested in the happiness of the miners with whom he deals as Goodkind's agent and leaves again. He opens "Over coat Hall" where anyone who asks for an overcoat receives one, and goes on with his ideal of living. Graduate Gives Talk On Cuba at Vespers Miss Mary B.

ENGBERG TALKS TO GDILD Need of Religion in Student' Life I Subject of Speech. Dean Carl C. Engberg told of the need of religion in a student's life at a regular dinner of the Wesley Guild, Methodist men students' or ganization, Tuesday evening at the Grand HoteL The speaker was intro duced by Dr. Huntington, the Metho dist student pastor. "There are three types of develop ment essential to the fullest growth of a student's life: Physical, mental and spiritual and of these the latter is the most important," said Dean Engberg. He went on to say that the soul is the home of the body, and without a moral background a sharp mind is a dangerous instrument He further stated that the stu dent's life is so filled with so many events that he must choose a divid ing line on which things he will take part in, and in the choosing of these things he should not leave out his re ligion. That he should not choose so many activities that he could not do his best work in each. Another point that he brought out is the fact that ws should not merely get wisdom but that we should also get understand ing. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO A passport to the Dean's office is the reward for loud talking or undue dis turbance in the library. Expulsion from the library for a certain length of time will be the penalty inflicted upon those who are convicted of the crime. "The erstwhile stamping ground of fussers, pugilists, gossips, vampires, sleek shieks, and law stu dents" is no more. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Booster dances will be held in the principal cities of the state during the Christmas vacation. The idea of these dances is to interest high school students in the University of Wash ington. How chemistry has aided in the war on disease and sickness and its relation to the medicinal profession was explained by F. W. Upson, chair man of the department of chemistry, to the weekly freshman lecture per iods Monday and Tuesday. Discover ies in the chemical world which have led to great advances in combatting disease were explained by the lectur er. "With the present progress in this field organic chemistry," said Pro fessor Upson, "we may soon know how to make chemical combinations which will be identical with all secre tive gland substances of our bodies. We have already made many discov eries of this kind." The chemist, according to the lec turer, is interested in the composition of molecules, as distinguished from the physicist, who studies the actions and motions of them. The chemist's work is divided into two parts an alyzing the molecule, and putting the atoms back together again. Tho department knpwn as organic chemistry came into existence about one hundred years ago. It is the study of the substances which are present in all living matter, both ani mals and plants. Early in the study of this branch of chemistry it was discovered that all compounds of liv ing matter contained carbon. Professor Upson explained the sys tern of chemical symbols used to designate chemical compounds to show their composition. Not only does the chemist write the symbols in regular form, but he also makes a plan showing how the different ele mcnts are combined. His plan cor responds to the architect's working plan of a structure. One organic substance which has been successfully duplicated by chem ists is indigo. By analyzing the mole cule of indigo, which is a tropical nlant. chemists have been able to combine the separate elements and manufacture indigo. This is not substitute for the dye, but is the real object and has the same effects as in digo itself. Cocaine, a local anesthetic often used in medicine, comes from the leaves of a tropical pliant. Its effects as an anesthetic are very pronounced, but it is also poisonous and some times so much so that it has a bad effect. Chemistry has solved this problem by producing such substanc es as procaine and butyn, which pos sess all the anesthetic qualities with out the poisonous factors. When it is necessary to produce a substance with certain properties the chemist is called upon, said Professor Upson. Arsphenamine is an example of a compound which took 600 at tempts to make, but which when man ufactured produced the very things desired. Many other examples of chemical compounds were explained, Adrenal ine, for treatment of glands wnicn regulate the blood pressure, and thy rnrin. for treatment of the disease known as goitre, were two of the compounds explained. FRESHMEN TO BATTLE SOPHOMORES THURSDAY The first debate of the annual inter-class debate tournament will be hold Thursday evening, December 18, in Social Science Auditorium.

In the hardest fought contests of the tour ney Phi Gamma Delta won over Sil ver Lynx and Delta Tau Delta elim inated Sigma Nu. The feature of the afternoon came when a goal in the last few seconds of play put the Phi Gam team out in front of Silver Lynx. It was Rieff's tally that de cided the game. The mix was fast and replete with thrills. Both teams were guarding closely and favored the cautious play ing in the first half. Silver Lynx was leading, 6-5, at the first period. Grace and Locke led their teams in scoring, each counting three baskets. At the jump in the second half Locke led off with a neatly shot goal and Grace of Silver Lynx immediately followed, putting the score at 8-7. Play was faster than ever in the last period. Few goals were scored by either side but good floor work featured the work of both teams. Shaner of the winners showed up well on offense. With one minute to play the score stood at 12-11, in favor of the Lynx men. Reiff s goal a moment before the whistle put the game on ice. Delt Sig Nu Game Close. The second game on the card riv aled the first for thrills and inter est. It was faster than the first scrap. Andrews oi ueita lau gov behind the Sigma Nu defense in the first moment of play for the initial score. The loser's defenso was found open several times but poor goal shooting saved the Sig Nu team. Rhodes received several razzings when he apparently resorted to rough play but was good for two goals. When Thompson of the Sigma Nus bagged two free throws on a foul, Lawson of the winners scored two immediately afterwards on a Sig Nu foul. The game was put on ice late in the second half. A. T. O. It Eay Winner. Alpha Tau Omega was an easy winner over Phi Delta Chi. The los ers had no defense and the A. T. O. team broke up play after play, put ting tho final score at 24-7. Alpha Tau Omega, who won over Farm House in the first round, may prove serious contenders for the champion ship. Their floor work was excellent yesterday and they exhibited a good amount of team work. Every mem ber of the team showed up well. Grace, center on the Silver Lynx team, is still the leader in individual scoring. He has twenty-two points to his credit, with Dickey of Phi Delta Chi in second place with fourteen points. Toft, Acacia, and Andreason, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, are tied for third honors with twelve points each. The summaries: Silver Lynx Phi Gamma Delta.
