"That is, of course, exactly the form of so-1 ciety in which the most cultivated minds and finaly tempered imagina- tions are least fitted to survive; but then, that is exactly the form of society they are now buttressing with all their weight.'

An editorial on "In defense of Goolashes," is one of the features of the magazine. Short er articles, local jokes and clippings from the world of the college press do their part in making this number one of the most desirable of humor ous college magazines. Starting with this issue the staff has departed from the plan of 'giv ing a title to each number, and the jokes and comments that appear are of a general rather than a particular nature. Work on the April number of the publication has been started under the direction of Charles V.

ZIMMERMAN, LEWIS, AND WEIR CLIP TIME Coach Henry F. Schulte's track men 'ran true to expectations yester day in the track gala day. Three new varsity records were established in the half-mile and two-mile runs, and the fifty-yard low hurdles. Paul Zimmerman clipped two and two- fifths seconds off the old varsity two- mile record, and Jimmy Lewis low ered the half-mile record two sec onds. Ed Weir bettered his low hurdle record one-tenth of a second. The Red team amassed most points in the Red, White, and Blue triangu lar tourney in which varsity time was made in almost all the events. Indi vidual high-point man of the meet was Wyatt of the Blue team who ac counted for eleven Blue points, by winning two firsts and one third place. Gish on the Red team came a close second with ten- points, won by two firsts. Team scores were: Red 43, Blue 40, White 16. The hurdle races, dashes, half-mile and two-mile races were the thrillers of the afternoon. In the half-mile race Houderscheldt led the field of five runners for a lap and a half. Lewis picked him off and forged to the front Roberts, former record holder, trailed along fourth for a lap and a half. In the last lap he speed ed up, passed Bequard and Houder scheldt, and began to press Lewis in the last quarter lap straightaway fin ish. Lewis kept his lead of three yards up to the tape. sf the two-mile race a pretty con testdeveloped in the last lap between Paul Zimmerman, the winner, and Lawson. - Zimmerman had kept up his steady even pace through the twelve laps, and was finishing with increasing speed in the last lap. Law son began a sprint that well-nigh pulled him ahead of Zimmerman. Zimmerman had plenty of reserve left, and reached the tape one-fifth of a second ahead of Lawson. Both runners made better time than 'the former record held by Searles. Ed Weir was the big show as usual in the liurdles. Running against tbe pick of the varsity and freshman squad, he ran the fifty-yard hurdles in one-tenth of a second less than the (Continued on Fags Two.) SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 1925. Eleven Nebraska Geology Students Map Rock Formations in Venezuela Field Workers for Petroleum Corporation Have Inter esting Experiences. Bloodthirsty savages, hungry croc odiles and greedy boa constrictors are not among the perils to be fear ed by friends of the eleven young men sent by Prof. E. F. Schram of the geology department to Marac- aibo, Venezuela, within the past few weeks. . "These young fellows will have some interesting experiences in store for them in the next year,' com mented Professor Schram, in telling of the departure early next week of TO PRESENT "THE MASQUERADERS" Hart Jenks Takes Dual Role; Tickets Go on Sale Mon day at Curtice's. PLAYERS TO APPEAR IN THURSTON PLAY "The ' Masqueraders," is the title of the production to be given by the University Players in the Temple theater March 12, 13 and 14, with Hart Jenks in the dual role. Seats will go on sale tomorrow at Ross P. Curtice's music store. Tickets for the evening .performance cost seventy-five cents; Saturday mati nee seats are fifty cents. The play, adapted from Kather ine Cecil Thurston's novel by John Hunter Booth, has been played in two continents. It ran a year in New York, four months each in Bos ton, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Aus tralia. It, also, toured six years with Guy Bates Post in the title role. Critics claim it to be the most unique dramatic masterpiece of re cent years. ' Of the two parte taken by Mr. Jenks, one is that of a Member- of Parliament, a dope fiend; the other is the interpretation of an honest, ambitious young man. The young man steps into the politician's place in a great war crisis, and the splen did speech which he delivers raises the name of the Member of Parlia ment to fame. The climax of the Dlav comes when the statesman's wife falls in love with the young man. If there is a moral in the plot, it lies in the truth set forth that hard work and earnest ambitions will go farther than mere talents. Other members of the cast are Harold Sumption, Dwight Merriam, Mary Yarbroff, Edna Leming, and Darrell Starnes. MANY ENTRIES IN CONTEST Several Students Will Submit Poems, Essay and Plays.

Rice, chairman of the com mittee of award, stated. Last year the contest for the poetry prize brought more than 400 entries, and it is probable that more will be sub mitted this year. The poems and essays are due April 7. The contest for the best play, which will close next November, has also attracted attention. A number of students have indicated, their in tention of entering their work. Most of them, it is thought, will be one act plays, although no limit is placed on length.

Jlans and pol icies for the future will be consid- erde soon. John H. Regan, '25, and Oliver T. Joy, '25, who will serve as field geologists for the Lago Petroleum Corporation. "But they always get back alive," he added. "We've been sending men into the tropics for years and have never lost a man." Malaria is the only appreciable dan ger which the geologists will have to face according to Professor Schramm. In the desk of his office in the Museum are filed a number of col ored' slides of the Venezuela region. Professor Schramm held a few up to the light. Some showed the peaked, thatched houses of the natives, com (Continued on page 2) Beatrice Students Give Church Dinner A banquet was held Friday eve ning at the University Club for all members of the Beatrice Presbyter ian church.

Nebraska marksmen failed last week to keep up the high standard of shooting attained in the matches in the early part of the season and dropped ten points below the score of the previous "week. The Nebraska total for the week, which was 3594, was obtained principally by the leaders in the shooting. There were several individual high marks, including a perfect score in the prone position by Mark Fair, and a new rour-position season marK oi 375 by R. M. Currier, but the aver age of the team more than offsets this. R. M. Currier made 90 in the standing position. The record for this position is 91, held by Harold Shafer. W. L. Lammli was second high man with a score of 374. Third place was a full eleven points below and was held by W. D. Dover. The next five places were all in the fifties, and the last man on the team had a score of 345. There remain only two more weeks of intercollegiate match shoot ing on the Husker schedule.

FOLLOW-UP TEAMS TO WORK NEXT WEEK The final report of the money tak en in by the workers in the Grace Coppock drive, which closed Satur day noun, was thirteen hundred and fifty dollars, which is only three hur dred and fifty dollars short of the goal set iiy the Grace Coppock com mittee. A follow-up committee will be appointed next week to solicit the rest of the money. A team headed by Dorothy Carr leads the rest with a grand total of one hundred and forty dollars to its credit. Freida Lemke's team came second with one hundred and fiffeen dollars.. The Y. W. C. A. cabinet will entertain the winning team at a dinner some time rext week. The Freshman Commission team was successful in its contest with the Mystic Fish. The Mystic Fish team will have to entertain the Freshman Commission team at a dinner, which will be given some time next week at Ellon Smith Hall. The Freshman Commission team turned in ninety eight dollars and the Mystic Fish team, eighty-three dollars. Friday noon the workers in the Grace Coppock Memorial Fund Cam paign drive met at Ellen Smith Hall for the last of a series of three lun cheons given by the social commit tee during the drive. Mary Creek paum led the devotionals and K. Kwei Chen gave a short talk on Chi nese women. "Chinese women," said Mr. Chen, "are struggling for the same goal that American women are struggling for all that is good in human life. Although Chinese women are late in getting started, they are trying their best to catch up with American wom en. American women should remem ber that Chinese are the same, with the same thoughts and ideas. I want to thank the women on this campus for the help they have given my peo ple in the struggle to catch up with the Americans." The money raised in the Grace Coppock campaign will be turned over to Miss Vera Barger, who will use it in carrying on the work she is doing now in China. Miss Barger is a traveling physical education di rector and secretary for the Y. W. C. A. The idea of physical education for women is new in China. In a num ber of places Miss Barger is the first one to introduce the work in the schools. She is working in coopera tion with all kinds of agencies, such as the Rockefeller Foundation Soci ety and the Medical Missionary Soci ety. The establishment of summer camps, run somewhat as the Y. W. C. A. conferences are in the United States, sponsoring of playgrounds, and the reinforcing of graduates of the physical education school in Shanghai, are just a few phases of her work. Miss Barger will visit the Nebras ka campus some time in April. She will probably speak at Vespers and interviews with her will be arranged. The class of 1911, which is the class she was graduated with, are planning a reunion in her honor. Final reports of the team captains are as follows: Eloise McAhan $45.25. Louise Austin $46.00.'
