Attempts To Stop Production of 'The Red Cockatoo Tonight Futile Business Manager Erickson of Uni versity Players Asserts Prime Play To Be Given Despite Attempts To Bring Pressure To Suppress It "All Too True," Says Engberg Because of rumors regarding "The Red Cockatoo" The Daily Nebraskan interviewed Executive Dean Engberg Wednesday even ing. He declared: "As it is im possible for me to attend the pro duction of 'The Red Cockatoo' to night because of several previous engagements, I called for a copy of the play to see what -the auth oress had accomplished. I found that it was unfortunately all too true. It is an excellent descrip tion of modern jazz life. Vice, first seen, is abhorred, then en dured, and finally embraced. It might be well for all to see 'The Red Cockatoo' in order to know what not to do." 1 The sensational publicity which has been given "The Red Cockatoo," Ne braska's prize play, was decried yes terday by many prominent campus personages, and investigations were threatened by various groups. Al Erickson, business manager of the University Players, replied with the statement that : "There have been threats that because of the nature of 'The Red Cockatoo' pressure will be brought by certain well meaning but misguided persons, to prevent the staging of the play this evening. Although the authoress of 'The Red Cockatoo' does call a spade a spade, she is going to get a hearing. The theater is booked, the tickets are sold, the rehearsals are completed, and any attempt to stop the perform ance will be met with proper and effective police protection.'! Rumors that the play was based on a personal experience, were discred ited by the authoress, Miss Ruth Moore, and the president of Delta Delta Delta sorority, Miss Frances McChesncy. Miss Moore is a mem ber of Delta Delta Delta.

By "second-generation" students is meant any student whose father or mother or both had at any time at tended the University of Nebraska. Any student whose parents were never enrolled in the school but whose grandparents at some time at tended, are also called second-generation students. All those falling un der this class will be invited to at tend the alumni banquet held Satur day noon of the Round-up and will also take part in other events of the week. It is believed that there are a large number of second-generation student? in "school and the alumni association urges every one to turn in his name to the alumni headquarters as soon as possible. Huge Granite 'War Collectors of A huge "war club" of gray gran ite. over a foot long and six inches wide, and weighing sixteen pounds, is one of the most interesting relics in the museum of the Nebraska State Historical Society. A number of aimilop rolios have been found in eastern Iowa and somewhat smaller qnes in Nebraska. The use to which the primitive Indian put these great clubs is being made a subject of scientific inquiry. that those were used v - - r , - as an implement of slaughter is pre- posterous, for, according to mr. v Rinrltnnn. curator of the Society museum, a man who could effective- lis rinl4 slllrh a club in the heat oi battle must have been twelve feet high and must have weighed half a ton. Since nowhere nave me BKeie- tal remains of such huge people been found the theory that these are war clubs for use in battle must be abon- doned. Archeologists are inclined to clas sify such implements as "ceremon ials," and offer a plausible reason for their existence by explaining the probable ceremony which they were brute.

APRIL BLUE PRINT ISSUED Articles by Alumni Featured in Current Number of Engin eers Publication REPORT ON INSPECTION The April number of the Nebras ka Blue Print was issued Wednesday. The issue contains many articles of interest by both alumni and stu dents. An article by Geo. N. Carter, E. E. '13, Director of Water Resources, State of Idaho, describes how the wa ter of the Snake River has been made to aid the farm lands in Idaho. Mr. Carter also tells of the work which still remains to be accomplish ed before this river will be made to yield power and farm products to its very limit. "To Chicago and Back Via the Fords" by H. B. Kinsinger, M. E., '26, tells of the narrow escapes and harrowing experiences of .a party of eight which drove to Chicago through the mud and snow for the engineering inspection trip the first part of April. "Hall of Fame" Some inside facts relative to the use of oil as fuel are told in an arti cle by Wm. Schneiber, M. E., '26, en titled "The Truth About Oil Burn ing." The department called the "Hall of Fame" has a story of Ray Plamer Teele, agricultural economist of the United States Department of Agri culture. Mr. Teele graduated with an A. B. degree in 1887 and gained his M. A. in 1899. Soon after his graduation he accepted the position with the United States Department of Agriculture and was assigned to the irrigation investigation of that department with which he has been connected ever since. A list of qualities said t" be desir able in instructors is give i in the Dean's Corner. Hopes To Play Notre Dame The University of Texas has as pirations of booking a game with Notre Dame for the 1926 football schedule. Club9 Puzzles Old Indian Relics In "The Traditions of the Skidi Pawnees" by George A. Dorsey, are various legends which the ancient Skidi told about Tirawa, the god of the universe who attempted to make a world where great people like the Skidi could live. Similar creation myths are reported to exist among other tribes and it is not unlikely that in very ancient days every tribe had similar myths and legends which they retold from generation to gen eration. In the Skidi creation myth it is said that once the land and the water were mixed together and that noth ing but slimy mud exister. There was no place where man could live so Tirawa sent four of his greatest warriors with huge . war clubs to beat upon the slimy mud. These four warriors descended from the heavens in a cloud and beat upon the earth until the , water ran away in mighty rivers and the land became hard and firm. The four great war riors were able to stand upon it now, and they still stand there, one at each of the four corners of the earth, holding up the heavens. Mr. Blackman suggests that this great war -club in an early day may have been used in some ceremony symbolizing this phase of the crea tive myth. His idea is an original one and will probably be supported by future research.

The representative elected will leave Friday night for Lawrence. Plans will also be made for several activities to be conducted by the Corn Cobs during Alumni Week which includes a novel stunt pre sentation at the Field House alumni night 'University Colosseum Probable New Name To Be Given Field House The University Colosseum will be the probable name of the Field House, which is now nearing com pletion. The new name as yet is tentative, but has been approved by Chancellor Avery as the official name to be submitted for the Uni versity publications. Final approv al, however, will be made by the Board of Regents before the name becomes official. The new name was chosen as a result of a contest held by the Ne braska Alumni association for rain ing the new building. Accordingly, the association offered the alumni an inducement to help choose a name a life membership in the alumni as sociation is to be given the alumnus who submitted the name, provided it is accepted by the University auth orities. The name was chosen with the fact in mind that the new struct ure is not a gymnasium, but a stu dent center, where student and Uni versity funclions can -be held and large numbers accommodated.

Student Employment Discussed by Trumbull Student employment was discuss ed in an address given by William S. Trumbull, employment secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., through the University broadcasting studio Wednesday. He told how the pro blem of employment was greater for first year men than for others and that here the large part of the work of the employment bureau of the University came to bear. He re marked that students must shoulder responsibility and show some depend ability before they would be consid ered for jobs. His address follows: j "Many and diverse comments have gone out through the State concern ing student employment at the Uni versity of Nebraska. It has been the object of much speculation and it is something that interests probably fif ty per cent or more of the men stu dents entering the University, inter ests them vitally for on it depends whether some of. them remain in school or are forced to return home. The employment situation is of front rank in any community, ind the uni versity problem is not unique in this respect Situation Good Here "At Nebraska I believe the employ ment situation, considering the num ber of other schools located in Lin coln, is exceptionally good.

DRAUATIG CLUB PICNIC HAY 20 Exclusive Use of Lincoln Automobile Club Park For Entire Day Is Secured The Dramatic Club will hold its annual picnic at the Auto Club park Thursday, May 20. The entire park has been rented for the affair and only club members will be admitted that afternoon and evening. The committee in charge of the picnic is: Herbert Morrison, chair man, Marian Cass, Helen Aach, Al ice Wiese, and Ruth Clendenin. This is to be one of the biggest and best parties of the year accord ing to Herbert Morrison, chairman of the committee. There will be dancing at the auto club pavillion after the lunch. Music will be fur nished by a five-piece orchestra. in Radio Address knowledge we are the only school here or in the State that maintains an employment office for students alone and I know that more student em ployment goes through this office than goes through any other agency in the city. I do not mean to imply however, that jobs grow on trees in Lincoln. This is true nowhere. "The student planning to work his way through the University of Ne braska should not anticipate an easy task. It means a double burden for that student, it means that part of the time he could utilize for study will be taken for work, yet it is not necessary to look at it from a self sacrificing point of view. If a stu dent is working only a reasonable amount of time a day he should be able to look upon that as part of his diversion. Everyone spends a cer tain amount of time each day in some form of diversion or recreation and surely with a little controlled effort, the student who works may train himself to regard the change of occu pation as a reciprocal relaxation.

DRAKE EASY FOR HUSKER TRACK TEAM Nebraska Takes Measure of Iowans in Wednesday Meet, 92 to 38 SLOW TRACK BOTHERS Locke Runs His Slowest Century of The Year; Wostoupal, Drafted, Wins Javelin ' The Husker track and field squad had little difficulty defeating Drake in the stadium yesterday afternoon, ruryiing up a score of 92 1-3 to 38 2-3. The track was slow from the recent rains. Although the meet as a whole was a walk-away, the Drake team furnished some keen compe tition fn several events that brought the crowd to their feet. Locke ran his slowest 100 in com petition of the year, making it in 10.1. He had a light breeze against him and got away to a poor start. He pulled out a little better in the 220 but his best performance was running as anchor man on the relay team. Davenport, Wyatt, and Dailey loafed along behind the Drake run ners in accordance with instructions from Schulte. Dailey gave Locke the stick with an even start, and be fore the curve was reached the fleet North Platter had put a good distance between himself and the Drake an chor man. Coming into the last straightaway far ahead, he eased down and jogged in the last yards, having slowed almost to a walk at the finish and then succeeded in run ning it in fifty and a half seconds. Drake Sets Record. in 880 Van Lanningham of Drake set a new 'stadium track record for the 880 when he beat out Roberts by a scant margin, covering the distance in 1 minute, 57.6 seconds. Both the hurdle races were close enough to keep the crowd on its feet. In the high hurdles, Ed Weir and the Drake star, Simpson, came down the track neck and nek, with Weir win ning in 15.4 seconds, fast time con sidering the track and the weather. In the low hurdles, Simpson fell on the second one. But another Drake man, Penquite, ran even with Weir down the final stretch and beat him out at the finish. Penquite collapsed just over the finish line. Quarter Is Close As expected the 440 was a good race. Tolles of Drake who won the quarter in the Iowa State-Drake dual meet last week took the lead with (Continued To Page Four) OFFICERS ELECTED BY IRON SPHINX Harold Fulscher of Holyoke Named President of Sophomore Honorary Society The annual election of officers of Iron Sphinx, sophomore society, was held last night at the Beta Theta Pi house.
