Bocauso of tho Interest In this question which has arisen moro interviews have been se cured. Tho Nobrasknn is attempting to bo perfectly fair in its cholco of tho fac ulty and student members to bo in terviewed, and it is attempting to choose as many in class organizations as out of thorn. Some of tho Btu- donts and faculty members refuse to give Interviews becnuso they profess lack of knowledge on tho subject. As nearly as possible, both sides of tho question aro discussed in tho interviews which havo been secured.

Having been a member of tho Innocent of this so clcty for n number of years, I havo had full opportunity to observe and judgo its workings. Mary Doromui Y. W. C. A, Treasurer I feel that a scholastic require ment is important in nny honorary organization. Tho present method is not ndequato for tho kind of organ izations wo hnvc. I am not especial ly in sympathy with them, because they don't accomplish anything as far as I can soo. Prof. Senning Political Science In my judgmont no organization should oxist unless it hns some parti cular function to perform in life. In so for as my information goes, I have not been nblo to discover any very useful purposo of tho honorary societies in school life. If they have any mission they fail to make it ob vious. Prof. Hicks U. S. History In my two years here, I havo heard Httlo or nothing about tfie honorary societies which would tend to indi cate that they aro not among the best college organizations. Frances Wlentr Black Mask I think it woud be well to consider the honorary organizations as purely social ones, unless the scholastic re quiroment is' put into effect. At present you have a hard time to tell just what they are for. It would be well to change their purposo nnd make them more specialized, or have them as I think they were supposed to be. Eloise McMonies Y. W. C. A. Cabinet I personally favor the honorary organizations very much. Every other school has them and we are not to be left out As for the scholastic requirement fort entrance, I think that people that are chosen for these organizations ore selected partially on scholastic as well as social activi ties. Florence Frahm T think that honorary organiza tions should have more of a definite nurnose and program in view. How ever, an honorary organisation is partly reward for what a person has dono in the past A scholastic re quirement for entrance would be an asset without a doubt. WILL HOLD FIRST ACADEMIC TESTS District Contests Saturday for Third Annual State Meet Here in May. Preliminary contests for the third annual interscholastic academic con tests of Nebraska high schools will be held Saturday, April 25, at Wayne Hastings, Kearney, Alma, Holdrege, McCook, Chadron and Bridgeport Every acredited school not partici pating in a district contest, as well as the winners of these contests, may send two representatives to the state contest which will be held at the University May 9. The first contest of this kind was held in 1923 for eight different sub jects and was won by Omaha Central. The next year the number of sub jects wao increased to eighteen and this year three more subjects are added. Omaha Central again won first place last year with Lincoln and York winning second and third places. Awards aro also to be made for individual merits so that the smallest high schools will have an equal chance with tho largest, Tho questions in this contest are to be prepared by members of the University faculty and are to be of such a nature that only good general school work will help in preparation. The contest this year will be In the following subjects: spelling, elemen tary and advanced English composi tion, English literature, first and third year algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, American history, ancient history, modern Eu ropean history, civics, second, third and fourth year Latin, French, chem istry, physics, botany, and Spanish. Colorado University soon will enter into another branch of sports if pres ent plans materialize. Construction of a $1,000,000 lake, four miles east of Boulder, by the Public Service Bu reau of Boulder will provide an ideal place for rowing. If opponents can be obtained and the cost is no prohi bitive, this sport will become a realt ity in Colorado. The lake is two miles long and one mile wide. A ten-piece jazz band is a feature of the California Glee Club concerts. The program on tours includes the jazz numbers, comic acts and mono logues, dancing acts, and college and, operatic selections by the club.

ORCHESTRA IN FINE CONCERT Minneapolis O r g a n i z ation Pleases Big Audience at City Auditorium. MANY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTEND The Minneapolis Symphony Orch estra, with Henri Verbrugghen, con ductor, Marie Tiffany, soprano, as soloist at the evening concert, and Henry J. Williams, harpist, matinee soloist, played at the city auditorium yesterday. Of the approximately 2,500 seats in the auditorium, fully three-fourths were occupied, much of the audience being composed of Uni versity students, high school and grade school pupils. Members of Corncobs and Tassels, men's and women's pep ',organiz!d tions respectively, served as ushora in ihnir srnrlpt nnd erenm uniforms. Remarkable harmony and melody was evidenced in the playing of the orchestra. So perfect was the unity of the great orchestra that the music seemed to come forth from asingle instrument The delightfully varied program gave excellent display to the versatility of its technique and inter pretations. The climax to the eve ning performance was reached in the stirring rendition of the Prelude to Act III of "Lohengrin." Outstand ingly vivid was the interpretation of "March of the Sardar" from "Cau- casion Sketches' by Ippolitoff-Ivan-off in the matinee program. Henri Verbrugghen, Belgian con ductor with a wide orchestra exper ience in European cities and in Aus trailia, showed himself deserving of the enviable reputation which he has made for himself in the two years in which he has led tho Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. He conducts with sympathy, with unaffected fer vor and earnestness, and with deli cacy of interpretation. , Clear melody nnd youthful joy are embodied in the lovely soprano voice of Marie Tiffany, soloist at the evening concert, who is completing her ninth seasonwith the Metropoli tan Opera Company and on the con cert stage. But the freshness and you in Mis3 Tiffany's singing do not bar from it a rare sympathy and depth of emotional understanding. Her flexible technique and beauty of tone were particularly evident in "The Jewel Song" from Fnust.

That is the problem which now con fronts Kosmet Klub members and others who have been collecting the properties for the musical comedy. The burro has been found and will appear in the show tonight It was discovered after an extensive search, three mile3 south of tho State Peni tentiary. But the problems concerning the burro have not all been solved and new perplexities arise constantly. In the first place, this particular burro has never accomodated more than one passenger, while it is absolutely necessary that he be ridden by two members of the cast tonight A railroad regulation which makes it necessary for someone to accom pany the animal in the baggage car has brought gray hair to members of the Klub already.

SCIENTISTS TO CONVENE HERE Nebraska Academy to Meet With Chemical and Math ematical Societies. NOTED HUNGARIAN CHEMIST TO SPEAK The Nebraskn Academy of Science will convene jointly with the local sections of tho American Chemical Society and the American Mathema tical Science Society at the Univer sity of Nebraska May 7, 8, and 9. Perhaps the most noteworthy speaker at the convention will be Dr. Doby, Hungarian biochemist, and author of a number of scientific ar ticles in the Hungarian, German and French languages, who will speak on "Erizymer in Plant Disease." Dr. Doby was born in the University of Budapest and educated at the Uni versity of Budapest, where he speci alized in physiological or organic chemistry. His research was con centrated upon the chemistry of plant products and of plant diseases. He spent a semester studying in Paris', and another in Berlin, where he was a pupil of Emil Fischer. Later Dr. Doby was employed as physiolo gical chemist in an experiment sta tion for wine investigation, and later .became professor in a small univer sity in Hungary. Then came his election as head of the department of biochemistry in the "Economic Faculty" at the University of Buda pest Plant ensymes in health nnd dis eased plants, in relation to their con ditions which activate them as well as those that retard their actions, have been Dr. Doby's chief interest in the past fifteen years. An exchange of professors brought Dr. Doby to the Michigan Agricul tural College, East Lansing, in 1924, where he investigated the effect of deficiencies in different nutrient ele ments upon the enzyme content and activity. Dr. Doby was able to speak only a few words of English, al though he read it fluently. The convention will open with registration of the members and guests at the desk of the secretary in the Temple building. At 2 o'clock will follow section meet ings of Chemitsry, Biology, So cial Sciences, and Engineering. Dr. Doby's address will be at 8 o'clock that evening. Friday morning there will be c business meeting of the Academy. F. G. S. Collins, curator of the University museum, will speak on "The? Museum in the Education bf Nebraska." This will be followed by a general discussion of the place of science in education, of general as well as professional interest. Fridcy afternoon an hour will be reserved (Continued on Page Three.) Tut" Property Men the burro's companion to and from Omaha? An oleander bush was specifically called for in the list of properties. After ceaseless efforts it was found that there is one such plant in the city of Lincoln. This broadleafcd schlerophyll will also be seen at the show. A ten-dollar bill and several gold pieces have also been hard to get, Buckets and mops, pieces of ancient Egyptian furniture and tapestry, and six horseshoes are included in the list of properties. So far the burro has showed mark cd signs of resentment on the bag gage car proposition and it seems that it will be necessary to arrange several rehearsals before the animal will willingly submit to this ordeal. A practice in .which the two mem bers of the cast and the burro itself will figure has been set for 3 o'clock this afternoon. Both actors are ex pert riders of ordinary horses, but the question of how they will get along with aburro accustomed' to be ing ridden by one person is still un certain.

Some surprises will be sprung which are not only unexpected but mystifying and troublesome. Devel opments in the plot to cure the ec centric professor of his unusual dig ging tendencies come fast and furi ous after the arrival of the archeol ogist and his party in Egypt. The comedy is the most elaborate ever undertaken by Kosmet Klub. Scenery, costumes and other details have all been prepared to meet the requirements of the story.

George Jackson, secretary of the Nebraska State Fair Board, spoke on "Fairs" at a Farmers' Fair rally, Thursday evening. Mr. Jackson has been president of the Fair Board for several years previous to his appoint ment as secretary and has been con nected with fairs of different kinds for a number of years. Mr. Jackson told of the many things that must be done to put a fair across successfully. "Cooperation," said Mr. Jackson, "is the greatest factor in determining whether or not a fair will be success ful." He stated that the talent in the College of Agriculture was sufficient to stage a better fair than any other fair in the state with the exception of the Nebraska State Fair. Charles Graff, Bancroft, who has also been a member of tho Fair Board gave a short talk regarding fairs. He stated that in order to be successful, the students must always be willing to compromise and arbi trate. More than three hundred students attended the meeting which was con sidered by the Farmers' Fair Board to have been the most successful one that has been held. Nat Tolman, '25, assistant manager of the Fair Board had charge of the meeting and urged ail committees to push their work as much as possible as the date of tho Fair is not far off. Joe Culbertson, manager of the Fair, announced that the last Farm ers' Fair rally would be held Wednes day night, April 29. The Cornfield Follies and the Snorpheum will both give a part of their performances at this time and several other of the leading features of the Fair will b presented to the Ag students Re ports from all of the committees show that the work for tho Fair is getting well under way and prepara tions will soon be completed. A committee from the Inter-fra ternity council of the University of Cplorado has been appointed to re view a plan compiled by doctors and specialists recommending mac au fairly large colleges should, have a health service plan composed of three departments: one for individu al health, one for inspection and san itation and one for physical exam!-. nation for freshmen and entering students.
