"Craig's Wife", the February num
ber of the regular series of dramatic
presentations offered by the Univer
sity Plovers will be given at the
Temple Theater Thursday evening
.. ! CtnrrlnV with the TetT-

ular student matinees on Friday and
Saturday. The evening performance
starts at 8:20 and the matinees at
2:15 o'clock except on Saturday at
8 p. m.
This play was written by the fa
mous playwrite, George Kelly and is
considered by critics to be one of
the greatest comedy-dramas ever
staged. Such great dramas as "The
Show-Off" and "The Torch Bearers"
were written by Kelly but none have
enjoyed the popularity of "Craig'B
Wife".
Won Pulitaer Prtsa
The Pulitzer Prize of last season
was awarded to George Kelly for this
play. This annual award is $1,000
and is given each year to the author
of the best play of the season, the
judgment being given by some of the
greatest authors and writers of the
time.
It is the custom of the University
Players to present the Pulitzer Prize
play in their regular course just as
soon as it can be secured for stock
production. In doing this the Players
feel that they are not only presenting
the best in contemporary drama but
they are keeping up to the minute in
current productions.
The royalty rates for the prize
plays are much higher than for the
other productions and the royalties
paid for "Craig's Wife" will exceed
those paid for several productions
combined that were offered this sea
son by the Players.
Story of Houie Wife
"Craig's Wife" tells the story of a
wife who is house-crazy. She wor
ships her house as coldly as pagans
do their idols; she frets so much
about dust that a frank domestic re
minds her that she will be dust her
self some day. She insists that the
entire household use the back stairs
so that the front stairs will not be
marred by shoe-marks. She refuses
to have flowers in the house because
the petals fall on the floor. Such a
woman as this is the central figure of
this intensely human, drama of the
home.
The leading feminine role will be
carried by Mrs. Eleanor Fogg Whit
ham, who is in Lincoln this winter
after several years in Boston. Thad
Cone as Walter Craig will play op
posite Mrs. Whitham. The rest of
the east is as follows: Cleo Slagel,
Esther Zinnecker, Robert Reade,
Howard Cottle, Louise Jenkins, Alice
Connell, Jack Rank and Arvella Han
son. INDUSTRY CANNOT
OUST CAPITALISM
Dean LeRossignol Declares Marxian
System it Failing To World
Forum Group Wednesday
Capitalism may change but it will
probably continue was the opinion
advanced by Dean J. E. LeRossignol
of the College of Business Adminis
tration in his address "Is Capitalism
Passing Away?" delivered before
World Forum Wednesday noon at the
Grand Hotel.
Explaining the essentials of Marx
ian socialism, the speaker pointed out
that the prophecies of Marx were
not coming true. His theory was that
with the concentration of wealth in
the hands of a few, the middle class
would be eliminated which would re
tult in a social revolution as the two
extremes of poverty and wealth grew
farther apart. The other belief of
Marx was the possibility that in some
isis capitalism would collapse of
'ts own weight
Wealth has been concentrated in
e hands of a few," declared Dean
wRossignol. "It is a very serious
Problem. Capital is being concentra
ted but not as rapidly as formerly.
, 18 doubtful, however, if the middle
clss is being eliminated. The theory
f increasing misery isn't proving
out A3 for revolution, it occurred in
Russia where conditions were exact
ly the opposite from those predicted
y Marx."
Present tendencies in capitalism
ere then pointed out by Dean Le
ssignol. He gave the most impor-

Committee; Entertainment
Said on Program
ARMORY TO HOUSE PARTY
The "Valentine Mixer", the second
of the all-university parties held un
der the auspices of the Varsity Dance
committee this year, will take place
Saturday evening in Memorial hall.
The Valentine party has taken on a
little more formality than in former
years, but plans are to give enter
tainment and fun in large quantities
to those attending.
Elaborate decorations are being
hung in Memorial Hall. The publi
city committee, through the courtesy
of Red Long's Bookstore, has been
allowed to advertise through one of
their show windows.
Plan New Stunt
Reports from the entertainment
committee show that stunts will take
up part of the intermission time.
There will be other forms of enter
tainment.
The following is the list of people
and committees who are making
plans for the Valentine Mixer:
Robert V. Hoagland, chairman;
Ruth Palmer, secretary; entertain
ment committee; Helen Reagor,
Gregg Watson, and Wayne Gratignyjd
publicity committee; Arch Eddym
Eloise MacAhan; assistants; Geo. M.
Hooper, Dean Hokanson and Robert

The committees have . been busy
during the last week to make the
.party the most enjoyable one of all
those gone by. It is understood that
this party is for University students
only. Careful means have been used
to prevent the entering of the non
university element.
FEBRUARY AWGWAN
HAS NEW FEATURES
Nebraska Humorous Magazine Prom
ises More Interest to Students
In the Future
Something different in the way of
humor will be presented in the next
Awgwan to be issued February 17.
A local element in the form of take-
offs on campus organizations will be
the feature in this issue of the mag
azine. In previous issues the jokes
have been such that might be in
cluded in any university humorous
publication. It is the editor's beliei
that local take-offs will be of greater
interest to the student body.
Another feature will be cartoons
rlonirtinir student life which will pro
duce many laughs on the part of the
Awgwan readers. Included in tnis
ill be a full page take-off on
the Daily Nebraskan editorial column
and the controversies that have been
waged in it recently.
Tho staff th s semester is twice as
large as the one of the preceding
term, and is the largest staff the
Awgwan has ever had. The magazine
will be issued regularly the miaaie
of each month.

GIRLS WANTED FOR
SOCIAL DUTY HERE
Ten Women Students Needed To Do
Americanization Work in For
eign Homes in Lincoln
Ten girls are wanted to do Amer
icanization work in Mexican homes,
according to Miss Erma Appleby,
secretary of the University Y. W. C.
A. The work, which can be done any
afternoon, consists, for the most
oart. of instruction in English, with
some additional aid in Domestic
Science and Domestic Art.
Work of this character has, be
sides the benefits derived by both
parties from the service rendered,
the additional attractions, for the
girl who thus devotes her time, of
experience for future work of a sim
ilar nature, and of opportunity to
study, atr first hand, the homes and
living conditions of these foreigners
who have adopted America as their
home. From this personal study, she
may be able, in the future, to sug
irpst. or even Dut into practical usage
improvements which will vitally and
permanently raise the standards 01
these neorjle and as a consequence
increase their usefulness to their
adopted country.
For further information, such girls
may see or call Miss Appleby at her
office in Ellen Smith Hall or riorence
Swihart.

Committee Chairman Says He
Welcomes Any Criticism
Of Past Shows
ASKS FOR MORE SKITS
Preparations for UniverMity Night
are funt rounding into shape and de
tails for the annual show are nearly
complete. To dute six skits and sev
eral curtain acts have been presented
and tho committeo has the program
practically arranged.
However any lato skits that arc
prcHented to the University Night
committee before its next meeting,
Monday will bo considered. The com
mitteo is very desirous of having ns
many skits presented as poHsihle but
those who have not as yet presented
their acts should do-so this week..
Welcome Criticism
"Any criticism concerning Univer
sity Night programs is willingly re
ceived," V. Royce West, chairman if
the committee said yesterday, "and
we are hoping that any ideas for
making the show better will be pre
sented to us." Constructive criti
cism is solicited and the committee is
open to suggestions from outside
parties who are interested.
The acts that have been turned in
present a great array of talent and
the show promises to be bigger and
better than ever. Sigma Delta Chi,
winner of last year's prize has pre
sented a skit. Pi Epsilon Delta, Na
tional Collegiate Players are again
offering a twenty dollar prize for the
best act.
A definite date for the production
has not been set but will probably
come the second week of March. Re
hearsals will begin next week and a

then.
65 MEN REPORT FOR
SPRING GRID DRILL
Coach Bearg- Well Satisfied With
Turnout) Sayt He Expects More
Varsity Men Later
A total of sixty-five prospective
football men for next year gathered
in the north training room of the
stadium Wednesday afternoon. Coach
Ernest Bearg expressed himself as
beincr hisrhlv "leased with the num
ber out, and believes many more will
report as the sessions continue.
"I'm mighty anxious to get as
many men as possible," he continued.
"We have no time to experiment
next fall, and must get our theories
and strategy out of the way now.
When we start practice this fall,
we'll be ready to play some real foot
ball." Wednesday's session consisted of
a review of next year's schedule and
next year's plays and formations.
Numerous chancres are to be inaugur
ated and tested as to practicability
during the coming six weeks of train
ing. Because of this fact, it is espec
iallv necessary for all candidates for
the 1927 team to come out. Many of
last year's letter men are already on
hand. Holm, Brown and Lawson are
preoccupied with basketball, but will
be out as soon as they finish.
In addition to those who had
checked out equipment as published

the rumored absence of several piles
of railroad ties from the right of
way of the Monon, the road that al
ways runs trains on time. The bo
tany professor has been very busy
for the last week telling students
how many trees there are on the
campus, and all the lampposts of the
city are suspiciously marked with
chalk. "Where is the Rose Shale
Brick Co.?" has been heard.
"What is the secret of all this
magic power wielded over the toque
wearing nothings of the campus? Is
it the wonderful overwhelming per
sonality of the upperclassmen which
enables them to say whether or not
a fellow student should talk, or is
it just their beautiful countenances
which so completely stupify the
weaker beings, so that they are as
nlastic clav under the master hands
of a potter? This has long been a
subject for discussion and still is a
profound mystery because wisely
th slave drivers have ' kept their
sacred secret to themselves. It is
suspected by some, and th esuspi-
cion is growing into a rumor, that
th nnwer is based upon mere super
ior physical strength and skill in the
use of the paddle1.
"Rough week has long been an
event to be looked forward to by
both the upperclassmen and the
freshmen, although in different ways
and now that-the preliminaries havi
been disposed of, both groups look
forward eagerly to the coming week
of wholesome fun.

Today's question: Do you favor the
present discussion of doing away with
Ivy Day orator?
Where asked: In front of Long's
Book Store.
Paul R. Miller, '27, Arts and Science.
"No! Not unless we also do away
with the tradition of 'football'."
Frank Sargent, '27, Arts and Science.
"I don't think it should be done
away with, because a speaker of that
sort always brings the right kind of
discussion and gives something that
stimulates the students."
Sidney Poole, '30, Engineer.
"I think it is an awfully good thing
to keep."
Margaret Clarke, '30, Arts and

Berlyn McClure, '28, Agriculture.
"I don't think that it should be
done away with."
Wally Marrow, '29, Teachers.
"I do."
Maurice Heavelone, Junior, Law.

past the Ivy Day orator has usually
been a law student, and which gives
him a chance to exhibit his wares,
I'm strongly opposed to any move
ment for the aboishing of this part
of the tradition."
David Foster, Junior Law.

OPEN HOUSE IS
BANNED BY PAN
HEL COMMITTEE
Sororities Relieved of One
Nebraska Custom After
Deliberation
PARTIES ARE LIMITED
Co-Ed Greek Organizations
Allowed One Downtown
Party Under Rule
The custom of sororities having
open houso In tho fall of the year will
bo diseonqinueoT, according to tho
decision reached by members of the
Pan-Hellenic board at their moeting
held Wednesday afternoon in Ellen
Smith hall. Tho board has been con
sidering the matter for some time
and the action came only after the
sorority representatives had taken
tho matter before the members of
the various groups and it had met
with their approval.
For many years sororities have
held open house in the fall of the
year for all fraternity men. There
are now some thirty-eight Greek let
ter fraternities on the Nebraska
campus each having an average mem
bership of about thirty. Sororities
have come to realize the uselessness
of an attempt to entertain in one
afternoon the members of so large
a group as this would necessarily
mean.
Parties Are Limited
The custom was started when the
number of fraternities, as well as the
number of sororities on the campus
was comparatively small.
Sororities wil have but one down
town representative party a year, the
board decided. Most of the sororities
have been holding but one such
function, however the society mem
bers, themselves, felt it necessary
that a ruling should be made in order
to definitely regulate the matter.
The Pan-Hellenic Board is made
up of one junior, one senior and one
alumni member from all sororities;
a faculty member acts as faculty
chairman or advisor. Organizations
of this kind may be found on the
campuses of all of the leading co
educational universities and colleges
of the country. The board has author
ity and power to regulate matters
pertaining to greek letter sororities.
Miss Clara Wilson, of the Teach
er College faculty, is chairman of
the local board.
HOBO PARTY WILL
BE HELD TONIGHT
Entertainment For Junior Girl's
Party is Complete; Good
Attendance is Expected
Plans are complete and prepara
tions running smoothly for the Jun
ior girls' hobo party, from 6 to 8
o'clock tonight in Ellen Smith hall,
according to Grace E. Evans, general
chairman for the party. A good at
tendance is anticipated from the sale
of tickets.
This party, which is being spon
sored by Silver Serpents, honorary
organization for junior women,
should by its very informality ac
complish the aim for which it is be
ing held, namely to develop a greater
spirit of friendliness and cooperation
between junior women.
Those attending are to be attired
in characteristic hobo fashion. A pro
gram and dancing to Cleo Slagle's
Red Jacket Orchestra will provide
the entertainment, after which a
lunch will be served.
The committee in charge is.
