WILL SELECT
CAST LATER
Kosmet Klub To Hold Further
Tryouts Before Picking
Cast for "Tut-Tut."
STUDENTS NEEDED TO
HELP WITH PRODUCTION
Further tryouts will be held by
Kosmet Klub for its 1925 production,
"Tut-Tut," before the final selection
of the cast The Klub has not de
cided on the leading roles and all
students who tried out last week
should be ready to appear before
Kosmet members some time this
week upon call for another trial. An
nouncement of the cast will probably
be made next week, according to
curt V. Oniir. nresldent.
. . , i . . .
These tryouts before selectwn of.
the cast will be for the purpose of
determining how applicants would
fit in the particular roles which have
been tentatively selected for them.
The recent tryouts developed such
a large amount ' of excellent talent
that further competition is necessary
before final choices can be made.
Business and activity assistants
are also needed for the production
of the play. All men students who
want to assist in any way should
sign up in the student activities of
fice in the Armory this week. Posi
tions include work In advertising,
publicity, stage makeup, and electri
cian duties. Several people have al
ready applied for positions and more
are needed.
Practices will be started soon after
the selection of the cast Cyril L.
Coombs, Herbert Yenne, and Profes
sor A. G. Hinman will have charge of
the practices, assisted by members of
Kosmet Klub. The play will be pre
sented at the Orpheum April 24 and
at the Brandeis in Omaha on April

NATIONAL SOCIETY
TO HEAR DE BAUFRE
Professor Here Will Speak at
Meeting of Mechanical En
gineers in Milwaukee.
A paper written by Professor W.
L. DeBaufre, chairman of the depart
ment of mechanical engineering en
titled "Analysis of Power Plant Per
formance Base 4 on the Second Law
of Thermodynamics" will be present
ed at a meeting of the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, May 18 to 21.
It will be published in "Mechanical
Engineering," periodical of the soci
ety, and distributed before the meet
ing to serve as a basis for .discussion.
To quote the opening statements
of the paper:
"It is customary to analyze power
plant performance by preparing a
heat balance apon the basis of the
first law of thermodynamics, to
show the distribution of heat in the
combustion of fuel. The object of
operating a power plant however, is
not to distribute it but to convert the
heat into mechanical work. An anal
ysis upon the second law is therefore
much more enlightening than the
first law balance such an analysis
shows the lost opportunity for con
verting heat into mechanical work
due to imperfections in each stage of
the process."
In explanation of the article, Pro
fessor DeBaufre says, "Such an an
alysis, however, has never been made
before, apparently, because the seer
ond law has not been understood
This paper states the second law in
such simple terms as to make it read
ily understood and gives a mathemat
ical relation which may be easily ap
plied. "In the course of the paper, the
performance of a modern locomotive
Is analyzed by both the first and sec
ond law's of thermodynamics. The
loss is shown under analysis by the
second law to indicate the points at
hich power plants must be Improved
in the future to increase their ef
ficiency." OFFICER VISITS R. 0. T. C.

Have You Seen the
Perched on
Did you ever see the green owls
on the south end of the Library?
And did you ever notice the studious
looking gentlemen on Pharmacy
Hall?
It was a quiet, languorous after
noon suggestive of spring. A law
student sat through a sleepy lecture.
Dreamily he rolled his howl around
and his vision met two great green
owls. ,
He wondered if it were a freshman
trick but an investigation showed
that the birds had been there ever
since the building had.
iThe owls were placed on top the
cornice, facing south, when the build
ing was built. Their purpose, of
course, is to suggest wisdom and per
severity, but someone suggested that,
as there are one pair, they mean to
point out the facility with which
dates can be got at the Library,
. ... .J
And so the law student has found
a lot of things he had never seen
before. Gazing skyward then he dis
covered two plaster plaques of wise
looking men on the south side of
Pharmacy Hall. He wondered.
The men are Wilhelm Scheele, a
famous Swedish chemist and Leopold
Gemelin, another foreign pharma
cist The plaques came from Ger
many early in the days of the Uni
versity. They were received by the
chemistry department and placed on
the building.
It is remarkable that the two men
represented were both famous phar
NO NEW CASES
ARE REPORTED
University Officials Think
Danger from Smallpox Is
About Over.
FOUR RELEASED FROM
ISOLATION HOSPITAL
No new cases of smallpox have
been reported in the University or
in the community since Friday. Oth
er illnesses thought likely to be fore
runners of the disease have been
found to be of a different nature.
"It is doubtful that there will be
any more cases," declared Dr. R. A.
Lyman, dean of the College of Phar
macy. "Xne Iirst exposure occurrea
February 16. We cannot be very
sure that there will be no more cases
until Friday, March 20, although we
can be reasonably certain by Mon
day, March 16."
The four men who were confined
in the isolation hospital have been
released. The last man was dis
charged Tuesday evening. The four
cases on the campus were students
who had been vaccinated,' so it af
fected them but slightly. No case
developed virulence at all equal to
the ordinary malignance of small
pox.
Contraction of the disease Irom
exposure to the cases on the oampus
is thought very unlikely, due to tne
slight nature of the attacks. Had
they been very severe, a large num
ber of cases among those exposed
would have been likely. For this
reason the danger of further contrac
tion is believed to be over.
More than 1900 students have
been vaccinated at the University
clinic in Pharmacy Hall. The num
ber of students who have been treat
ed will probably reach 2300. A large
number have visited private doctors
and quite a number have taken ad
vantage of the treatment at the pub
lic health clinic on the second floor
of the police headquarters.
Students who think they may nave
been exposed or any others that wish
to be vaccinated are urged to attend
to It at once. Free vaccination ai
the University clinic is still available.

BUSINESS MEN AID
WITH NEW COURSE
Three Lincoln Men Will Lec
ture to Class in Real Es
tate Practice.
The cooperation of three promi
nent business men of Lincoln has
been secured by Prof. A. G. Hinman
of the College of Business Adminis
tration in connection with his course
in real estate practice. This course
is being taken by about fifty stu
dents. R. A. Bickford, local real estate
dealer, will talk on "Property Man
agement;" John W. Alexander will
lecture on "Building Construction;"
and Willard Folsom will discuss
"Building and Loan Associations."
These three men will also give sever
al lectures as a part of the regular
course.
The course in real estate practice
is being given for the first time this
semester. It is the first time that
a course, of this nature has been of
fered at the University of Nebraska
and it is one of the few courses of
a similar nature offered in the

NEW COACH EMPHASIZES
FORWARD PASSING GAME
A long session of passing, scrim
mage, signal practice, line charging,
blocking, and tackling was on the
program yesterday for Nebraska
spring football aspirants who are get
ting into the swing of things under
Coach E. E. Bearg, Nebraska's new
football mentor. The weather was
just right for outdoor workouts and
Coach Bearg gave his men a hard af
ternoon of work. ,
Passing took up most of the time
yesterday. Choppy Rhodes was out
with the team, taking a leave of ab
sence from the track squad. Stev
ens and Bronson were two other
backs that worked with the ball in
.he aerial game. On the receiving
end Coach Bearg was teaching ends
Dover, Gillen, Bryne, and Conklin.
Conklin is a new man on the squad
who made a good impression on the
coach by his ability to catch passes.
There were more than enough men
out for practice to have four full
teams for the scrimmage. Hutchin
son was back at center on one of
the elevens. Rock is a new man on
one team who has the appearance of
developing into a good tackle. Scholz,
was another new man out for a
tackle position.
Billy Bronson held the signal bark
ing position on one of the elevens.
Dover and Peaker were ends,
Schramm and Stephen halfs, Raisch
and Randall tackles and Zuver and
Bass guards. On another team Law-
son, Omaha Central star, played at
half.
New recruits over the week-end
raised the number out for spring
football to seventy-eight About
fifty of these are reporting each
night for the practice and Coach
Bearg is well pleased with the turn
out in this respect There is still
room for a few more candidates.

Former Amherst
New Form of College Organization
A new kind of college is needed in
America says Dr. Alexander Meikle
john, former president of Amherst
College, who delivered the Phi Beta
Kappa address here last spring, in a
current issue of the Century maga
zine. Not more than two hundred and
fifty or three hundred students and
twenty-five or thirty members of the
faculty would make up this new
school because, according to Dr.
Meiklejohn, "The besetting difficulty
of the colleges just now is confusion.
They are acquiring many millions of
dollars and are doing many hundreds
of things. But in the midst of it all
there is a conviction of relative futil
ity, of scattering of effort From
this futility one body can save us,
and that is the faculty. It seems to
us that the first essential Is that an
attempt be made to form and place a
faculty so that it will become a co
herent, self-determing body, definite
ly committed to a well formulated
purpose, and directing all its efforts
individual and corporate, to the reali
sation of that purpose. It is for
the sake of this coherence, this unity,
that we chiefly need smallness."
The present system of education
should be remodeled so as to get the
senior to try to understand what he
has studied as against the other pro

cedure of getting the freshman to
understand what still lies before him,
believes Dr. Meiklejohn.
The orientation courses and intro
ductory courses are a step in the
right direction. The trouble lies in
the "subject;" the separate depart
ment of study which the professor
has defined from the point of view
of his own observations.
"It is for this reason that many of
us have been seeking a new starting
point. And we have, one to suggest.
It might at least be considered by
a new faculty and might be tried if
it seemed worth trying. The sugges
tion is that in each of the first two
years of the college course we take
as the object of study a civilization
rather than a collection of subjects.
We would have the freshman attempt
acquaintance with ancient civilization
as a whole and the sophomore with
a modern one In the same way. Our
principle is fairly clear. The college
is trying to get the student to make
for himself an understanding of him
self and of the society in which he
is living. We wish him to know this,
not simply in some of its aspects,
but as a total of human undertak
ing. We should like to take him,
therefore, first to a civilization far
removed from his own in time and
quality and then to one which is very
ner his own."

Y. W. C. A. RAISES FUNDS
FOR WORK IN ORIENT
Approximately four hundred and
twenty-five dollars was checked 'in
by the captains of the Grace Coppock
Memorial Drive at the luncheon held
Wednesday noon at Ellen Smith Hall.
This luncheon was one of a group of
luncheons which will be given at
Ellen Smith Hall, the three days of
the Grace Coppock Drive.
Mrs. L. W. Chase, '06, will be the
speaker at the luncheon Thursday
noon. She will tell what she remem
bers about Grace Coppock, speaking
on the topic, "Gnce Coppock as I
Knew Her." Kathryn Warner will
lead the devotional meeting. Mar
guerite Forsell, who is in charge of
the luncheons, has asked that all
captains report to her by 7:30 o'clock
of the preceding day, the members of
their teams who intend to attend the
luncheon.
The team captained by Freda
Lemke is leading the campaign with
fifty-three dollars checked in. Doro
thy Carr's committee is second with
forty-one dollars. The Mystic Fish
team leads the Freshman Commission
team by five dollars. The goal for
the drive is seventeen hundred dol
lars. "Considering the fact that the girls
have only had a half day to work in,"
said Miss Appleby, "the report of
the campaign is very favorable. The
girls are entering into the spirit of
the work very well, and every thing
foreshadows a succesful campaign."
The luncheon Wednesday was at
tended by about one hundred and
fifty workers. ' The devotional ser
vices were led by Helen Guthrie. Mrs.
E. L. Hinman gave a brief talk on
the life of Grace Coppock. Friday
the devotionals will be led by Mary
Creekpaum and Kingsley K. Chen,
a Chinese student in, this University,
will give a talk on China.
Miss Vera Barger, the secretary in
China who is being supported by the
money raised by the Grace Coppock
Drive, according to a report received
by Miss Appleby from the National
Headquarters of the Y. W. C. A. in
New York City, has left China and
is on her way to the United States.
She will come by the way of London
and will reach Lincoln sometime in
April.
