MARIE TIFFANY
TO BE SOLOIST
Famous Young American So
prano Will Sing at Concert
This Evening.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
PLAYS IN AUDITORIUM
Mnrie Tiffany, young: American
soprano, will bo tho soloist at tho
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
concert at tho city auditorium this
evening. Henri Vcrbrugghon is con
ductor of tho orchestra; Henry J.
Williams is tho harp soloist who will
play at tho matinee. Tickets are on
sale at the Ross P. Curtice Music
Store. Tho evening concert will start
at 8:15, the matineo at 2:30.
"To say that she sings with a great
deal of expression," says tho Atlanta
Journal of Miss Tiffany, "is to use
a trite phrase that conveys little of
the color and atmosphcro and charm
of her interpretations that keep the
audience on wings of fantasio from
one changing mood to another, from
gaiety and laughter to" a poignancy
and beauty touching tears."
Only nine years ago Gatti-Cazazza
"discovered" Miss Tiffany while on a
visit to New York city. She entered
into a contract with tho Metropolitan
Opera company and will probably be
with the company permanently, after
singing a variety of roles.
Sings for Records
In the field of recital, Miss Tiffany
has met with equally great success.
There is no part of the country in
which she has not sung, and she has
been re-erigaged many times. For
several years, she has also been sing
ing for the Brunswick phonograph,
which has spread her popularity to
Europe.
Miss Tiffany has prepared and
sung programs of the best music es
pecially for children. She has also
given costume recitals in which she
has revived the fine but neglected
songs of the 1830 period. An envi
able reputation has also been achiev
cd by Miss Tiffany in the singing of
old ballads and folk songs, such as
"Annie Laurje" and ".Carry Me Back.
to Old Virginy."
"Such abundant, glowing youth in
her voice, such tonal beauty, such
finished technique, such absence of
exaggeration in her style and man
ner!" is the comment of the "State"
of Columbia, S. C.
Miss Tiffany will sing at the eve
ning concert Mozart's Overture to
the "Marriage of Figaro;" the aria,
"Dove sono" from the same opera;
and the aria, "Jewel Song" from the
opera "Faust"
Williams Is Harpist
Henry J. Williams, Welch harpist,
will play at the matinee: "Minstrel's
Adieu" and "Echoes of a Waterfall"
.by Thomas.

Advanced Surveying Class
Conducting Work on Top
ographical Map.
A detailed topographical map of
the city campus of the University of
Nebraska is being prepared by the
class in civil engineering 10, or ad
vanced surveying, under the direc
tion of instructors Walter Scott and
D. J. Young, in compliance with a
Tequest by the Board of Rengents.
The map embraces tho territory
from the railroad tracks on the north,
to a point halfway between Q and R
streets on the south, and from tenth
street on tho west to fourteenth
street on tho cast. It will not be
completed until almost the end of
the semester.
Acurate and detailed measure
ments are taken by surveying parties
of three students, who gather their
data in the field, return with it to
the laboratory, and compile it in one
Targe, technical drawing. It is then
traced on tracing cloth, to bo printed
n the blueprint This procedure is
we main project of .the advanced
surveying course each year. Last year
map of the municipal golf course
at Antelope Park was drawn, and two
years ago, the students maped the
Nebraska Stato Fair grounds.
A similar, but smaller, map was
SWpared in 1913 by the surveying
udenta of former Professor J. N.
Bridgmon.

Express Ideas
Honoraries Controversy
Bccnuso the question of tho worth
or worthlcssnes3 of honorary organ
izations, especially class honorary or
ganizations, has creatod so must in
terest about tho Nebraska campus,
Tho Daily Nebraskan is publishing in
terviews of prominent students and
faculty members on tho subject.
Tho Nebraskan is attempting to bo
porfoctly fair in ita choico of stu
dents and faculty members to bo in
terviewed, and it has tried to choose
as many members in class organiza
tions ns out of them. A fow stu
dents refused to give interviews, and
several instructors refused to give
them on tho grounds that they have
not thought tho matter over enough
to give an opinion. It is possible
that in a fow days, when tho ques
tion has becomo further discussed,
moro interviews can bo obtained.
AMANDA HEPPNER
Dean of Women
"I hesitato to call them honorary
organizations, because their purpose
is purely social. It would bo much
better if they would take it upon
themselves to change tho system for
one such as they have at Illinois. In
this type of society, only tho students
with a designated high scholastic
average are even eligible.
"Every year I have approached the
women's organizations on this sub
ject but so far they have not cared
to make any changes."
WENDELL BERGE
President of tho Innocents
"As far as I know the class honor
ary societies have done well this year
the things they have been given to
do. The mere fact that they do not
have more duties docs not necessarily
reflect discredit upon them. The
Iron Sphinx, in fact, did some very
good work last fall in organizing tho
torchlight parade, and enforcing the
green cap rule. The Vikings handl
ed Dad's Day quite successfully. Both
Sphinx and Goblins organized their
respective classes for Olympics. This
present agitation against them does
not come from any general dissatis-

MARION WOODARD
Manager Y. M. C. A. Finance Drive
"Clnss honorary organizations, cs
pecially thoso of tho sophomoro and
junior classes, do not justify their
oxistenco on our campus. Nono of
them aro really honorary and of little
worth as social organizations. The
only function theso organizations
porform that could not bo moro effi
ciently handled by moro worthy or
ganizntlons is tho purchase of spaco
in the Cornhusker. Joining most of.
these organizations may bo compared
to throwing ten or fifteen dollars
away and then trying to collect it
from a friend at the noxt initiation.
KATHERINE WARNER
President of Mortar Boards
"I do feel that the freshman honor
ary organizations aro justified, be
cause they give tho now students an
interest which can bo developed. As
far as I can sec, tho sophomoro and
junjor organizations are not of any
particular advantage. The senior
societies are the outstanding ones of
tho campus. There are many things
that a representative organization
can do in the senior year."
ELSIE GRAMLICH
President of Y. W. C. A.
"I believe the criticisms made
against the class honorary organiza-
tions in the editorial column of The
Daily Nebraskan are just and I am
in sympathy with the stand taken
there. Unless they are able to in
troduce some radical changes in re
gard to the method of choosing their
members and in repard to their pur
pose I sec no justification for their
continuing their existence."
EMMETT MAUN
President of the Student Council
"I do not believe that the fresh
man, sophomore, and junior class or
ganizations of men do" justify their
existence. However tho correspond
ing organizations of women are bet
ter and the senior organizations are
certainly justifiable."
DOROTHY DOUGAN
"I believe that class honorary or
ganizations are perfectly inane.
don't think that they have a right to
exist Of course my opinion is off
hand and it is based only on casual
observation."
CLIFFORD HICKS
Ex.presidcnt, Student Council
"My opinion has always been
against honorary class organizations.
They serve no real purpose to justify
their existence. The two senior or
ganizations, however, do very valu
able work. They should be chosen,
selected by a general committee or
through the student council instead
of leaving the selection in the hands
of the few as it is now."
W. F. JONES
President of Iron Sphinx
"There is a good purpose behind
all class organizations. They all help
foster class spirit as well as good
will among classes and students. The
class organizations arc, on the whole,
a help to the members themselves
and to the classes and the univer
sity. I see no reason for attack
ing or disbanding the organizations."
EDWIN WEIR
Captain of the Football Team
"Some of the honorary organiza
tions do not serve definite purposes.
Vikinirs. for instance, is one which
does not have any real purpose, as
far as I can see. A few undoubtedly
have good points but most of them
do not. The Corncobs is one organ
ization which does valuable work and
the Iron Sphinx may foster class
spirit to some extent. Inasmuch as I
am not well acquainted with tho work
of the women's organizations, I can
not give an opinion as to them."

WORLD FORUM
HEARS HAYS
Development of the "Mind" of
America as a Whole Is
Outlined.
SPEECHES ON MILITARY
TRAINING ARE PLANNED
"The American Mind" was the sub
ject of Dr. S. Mills Hayes' address
at the World Forum luncheon held
at the Grand notel Wednesday noon.
Dr. Hayes outlined the' development
of the "mind" of America as a whole
from the time of the Revolution to
the present. He emphasized the ne
cessity for Americans holding the
right views on the important ques
tions of the day.
Announcement was madd that a
scries of two discussions on compul
sory military training in the colleges
would be conducted. Next week C.
A. Sorenson, a Lincoln attorney, will
argue against making military train
ing in the colleges compulsory and
the following week Prof. C, J. Frank
forter of the chemistry department,
a lieutenant-colonel in the reserve
corps, will uphold tho Compulsory as
pect of military training, Those
in charge of the Forum expect to
have a largo attendance and lively
discussions at both these meetings.
"American ideals and opinions will
inevitably dominate both North and
South America," says Dr. Hayes in
telling of the power and influence of
American opinion. "Of course, this
does not mean that they will domi
nate them politically or economi
cally."
Speaking of the rapid development
of America, which is one of the
greatest achievements of all history,
Ir. Hayes said that this was not due,
as many people claim, to the superior
resources which the Americans had
to work with, but to the power of the
American mind reacting on its en
vironment

collegiate football game in the Unit

EIGHT GREEK
TEAMS BATTLE
Four More Fraternity Nines
Eliminated in Second Day
of Baseball Tourney.
KAPPA SIG PHI SIG KAP
GAME IS ONLY CLOSE ONE
Wednesday evening dusk saw eight
more fraternity baseball teams drag
wearily from the diamond, and four
base-runtiing aggregations advanced
to the second round of the annual
tournament.
The four games of yesterday were
characterized generally by lop-sided
scores as strong teams met weak
teams. The winners were Zeta Beta
Tau, Kappa Sigma, Delta Upsilon,
and Beta Theta Pi.
The Zeta Beta Tau team took a
slow game from Lambda Chi Alpha,
12 to 9. The Greeks battled on even
terms for four innings, when the
Zeta Bets broke out in front with a
four-run scoring bee and cinched tho
game. ,
Thescoresvas tied at .the. end of
the second nining, four and four. The
Zeta Beta came bock in their frame
of the third and scored thrice, while
the Lambda Chis counted once. The
latter team made another ih the
fourth inning while Wells was-hold-?
ing his opponents without a run.The
four-run rally of Zeta Beta Tau put
the game out of reach.
Kappa Sigma won a neat contest
from Phi Sigma Kappa with three
runs to the good. The scor' was 5
to 2. Early-inning scores gave the
Kappa Sigs the game and Stribling
held his opponents in to a pair of
i-uhs, one in tho first and one in the.
fifth.
The winning team scored one iri
the first, and two in the second and
third. After that Hay, Phi Sigma
Kappa pitcher, settled down and let
his opponents down- without a score
the rest of the game. His mates were
unable to hit Stribling enough to
push in the necessary runs.
Delta Upsilon won a slow game
from the A. G. R: team with a score
of 17 to 6, in four and one-haW in
nings. The game was (Sailed'' after
the D. U. session of the fifth o"h ac
count of darkness.
The winners had the game in their
hands all of the time. Scoring five
in the first frame, they led all the
wy. Jorgensen, D. U. pitcher, was
a little wild in the pinches but his
mates had little trouble in retiring
the Ag Campus team.
Beta Theta Pi won another lop-sided
contest when they defeated Mu
Sigma 17 to 2. Cone, pitching for
the Betas, held the Mu Sigs down to
a lone pair of runs, one of which
came in the first and one in the sixth.
The winners scored in every in
ning except the final. Phelps and
Reese were the hurlers who tried to
stop the Beta onslaught.

ENGINEERS HAKE
TENTATIVE PLANS
Work on Annual Engineer's
Week to Be Started in
the Near Future.
Tentative plans are gradually be
ing formde by committees on the an
nual Engineers' Week, the second
week in May. Work on the models,
stunts, and window displays is about
to be started.
Among the models which the civil
engineers are considering as their
contributions to the exhibit is a sus
pension bridge, similar in sizo to tho
arch bridge of last year. A bridge
with tin "endless track," to be
crossed by vehicles or by persons,
may als. be built Another structure
tentatively planned by the civil en
gineering students is a light-house
with revolving lights. Pile drivers
may also be constructed as part of
the display.
A feature seriously considered by
the civil engineers is the conducting
of a guessing contest as to the
weights which the bridges will sup
port, open to the public, and with
a prize award. The strength of the
structures will be tested, and they
will be deliberately broken.
The construction of a structural
building with an air hammer b
among the possibilities for the civil
engineers' float
Steps in the building of a machine
will be illustrated in a window dis
play planned by the mechanical en
gineers, with E. L. Jones and T. A.
Filipi in charge. The machine will
first be shown in the form of a blae
print, then as a. wooden pattern, then
in the foundry for casting, then in
the machine shop for the assembling
of parts, .and finally in the testing
laboratory.
Definite plana have not yet bea
made by the electrical engineers.
