Comedy Part
A winning combination of a lively
comedy drama together with excel
lent portrayals of the University
Players, made the first public per
formance of "The Easy Mark," riven
yesterday evening at the Temple
theater, a decided success. Playing to
, full house, the play, by Jack Lar
rie kept the audience in a continu
ous state of laughter until the final
curtain. Harold Felton, in the role of
Sam Crane, the nervous, imaginative
town easy mark, offered a fine piece
of acting. His co-partner, Betty Cool
idge, in the feminine lead of Mary
Jordan, the young school teacher,
made a refined and pretty foil to Mr.
Felton.
Comedy is Excellent
Old Amos, the veterinary, played
by Kay Kamsay, was a comedy part,
played to perfection; Jack Rank, as
Charlie Hatfield, the hard-boiled,
conceited influential citizen of the
town, gave a convincing portryal, as
did Thad Cone and Howard Cottle
in the roles of the two smooth scoun
drels dealing in oil lands. Hattie
Crane, the shrewd, pretty sister of
Sam, played by Margaret Dunlap,
carried her part splendidly, adding
to the snap and zest of the perform
ance. Mrs. Crane, played by Arvella
Hansen, and the rather phlegmatic,
bashful young engineer, played by
Harold Sumption, gave fine portray
als. Ernie Lundgren, altho kept until
the last ct in his role as Peyton
Clews, scored well. j
The comedy is excellent, and moves
swiftly, leaving one in perplexity un
til the final curtain. The unusually
pood acting of all the parts contri
bute to the excellent effect and amus
ing situations.
Other performances will be given
this evening and Saturday evening,
together with matinees this after
noon, at 3:00 and one tomorrow at
2:30. Tickets are one dollar, and
seventy-five cents, and may be pur
chased at the Ross P. Curtice Co,

"Bieger and better" was the slo
gan unanimously adopted by the
cheers cf five hundred agriculture
and home economics students in the
Farmers' Fair Convocation held in
the Student Activities building on the
College of Agriculture campus yes
terday morn'ng.
L. L. Wilson '27, manager of the
ninth annual Farmers' Fair gave the
principal talk of the morning, out
lining the mile posts by which the
progress of Farmers' Fair could be
measured.
The firs marker was that of show
ing the people of the state the magni
tude of the work of the College of
Agriculture. This is to be done by the
exhibits which are to be prepared by
the departments on the campus.
"These will also show the type and
character of the work done at the
college," he said.
Work on the Farmers' Fair would
show the quality and character of
the students and at the same time
make them better acquainted with
one another, he also stated. He felt
that it would help to break down
barriers which separated certain
groups and unite the student body
into a common purpose.
Responsibility of Students
Another marker of progress was
the way in which each student ac
cepted responsibility. Mr. Wilson
stressed the point that the various

This is the largest group of women

Dean LeRossignol spoke a few
words of encouragement to the wom

blending practice with theory. He
expressed the hope that their trips
to the various industries would give
them, rot only a better understand
ing of what is required of a business
woman, but would also apply some of
their cla's-room knowledge to actual
life, and thus enable them to become
better equipped at school.

Turning Of Houses Over To
Freshmen Would Cause
Ertra Expense
The Interfraternity Council, at a
meeting held last night, voted down
the proposed freshman week, so far
as fraternities are concerned, but
passed a resolution to cut rush week
down to three days. Rush week will
start Monday September 12 and will
continue for three days. The Uni
versity will have- full charge of the
Freshmen for three days so far as
fraternities are concerned. It is
understood that all fraternities who
have "rush dates" with Freshman at
the present time will cancel all such
dates and make new engagements in
accordance with the resolution
passed.
Reasons Against Freshman Week
The reasons for voting out Fresh
man Week, in so far as it would
necessitate turning the fraternity
houses' over to the Freshmen, were
that it would put the fraternity men
to extra expense in finding another
place to stay during that time and
that it would add the expense of
cleaning the house again.
Since the fraternities have agreed
to cut rush week down three days,
it is up to the University to decide
what they will do with the Freshmen
during that time. It is expected that
this will meet with the favor of the
University authorities, and that they
will provide for the entertainment of
Freshmen during that period.
It was agreed that a full week,
which has here-to-fore been the ex
tent of rush week, was too long, and
only led to extra expense on the part
of fraternities and confusion for
freshmen.

CLARK SMAHA IS INJURED
Page is High-Point Man With
Ten Points; Game Is
Fast and Rough
Ames, Iowa, March 3. (Special to
The Daily Nebraskan.) In the fast
est game that has been played at
Ames this year Iowa State won from
Nebraska 26 to 24. Both teams gave
everything they had and with the
exception of the first five minutes
there was never more than three
points difference in the score.
Smaha, flashy Husker forward was
closely trailed the entire game, but
in spite of this scored three times
from the floor. Page, too, was cov
ered, but managed to tip the ball in
five times, four baskets being the
result of the first half's work.
Smaha Injured
Smaha was quite badly injured in
the first half, but had his head ban
daged and was again in the thick of
the fight.
For the rejuvenated Iowa State
team, Freddie Kling, running guard
and candidate for all valley honors
scored four times, Staver forward,
three times, and Elliott and Lande
twice each.
At the end of the half Nebraska
lead 15 to 14. The game was unus
ually fast and rough, although but
seven personals were called on the
Cyclones and four on the Huskers.
Page Stars
Smaha and Page were the individ
ual stars of the game, with Kling of
the Cyclones close behind.
Seldom during the game did the
giant crowd out to witness the final
game of the season have a chance to
take their seats.

Miss Reynolds
Will Advise
Senior Girls
Alice Reynolds of the National
staff of the Y. W. C. A. will be in
Lincoln on Monday and Tuesday of
next week, giving Senior girls inter
ested in her work, an opportunity to
consult her. Miss Reynolds is very
generously giving as much of her
time as possible to these interviews,
but the length of time she has in
Lincoln will not permit her to meet
as many as she would like. Appoint
ments to meet Miss Reynolds should
be made with Miss Appleby now.
There are many girls in the Uni
versity who should be interested in
this opportunity to discuss Y. W. C.
A. work, according to Miss Appleby,
for the natureofthe various careers
that can be discussed is varied
enough to include them. Few posi
tions would be open to girls other
than college graduates, but there are
a number of very attractive positions
for capable young women in their
first year out of college.
Reserre Work Discussed
Girl Reserve work attracts most
workers new in the field. It affords
an excellent opportunity to study and
to help teen-age girls, to organize
them into self-governing clubs, and
to direct extra-curricular activities
in a most satisfactory manner. The
college graduate who wishes to per
form a creditable community service
can scarcely do better than to enter
into Girl Reserve work.
Conditions of women in industry
are still far from perfect, it is the aim
of the Y. W. C. A. through its sec
retary for industrial work "To create
and promote a program which shall
meet the needs of industrial young
women in the commnnity and to in
sure cooperation in all efforts toward
adequate industrial standards." The
field is large and th- Y. W. C. A. can
use many college women to cover it.
Any who are interested In a career
of social service should make appoint
ments at once to consult with Miss
Reynolds on Monday or Tuesday.

riculture eamnus rpsulted in a His- Iowa btate 26
cussion of "cheating" in college work.
Prof. H. E. Bradford of the vocation
al education department led the discussion.
In summing up the discussion
which had been continued from the
last meeting of the Forum. Professor
Bradford stated that he felt that the
temptation to cheat should be taken
jaway as much as possible and that
too much responsibility should not
be placed on the students. ,
He felt that the penalty for cheat
ing or the opportunity to do it should
not be too great so that a larger per
cent than common would "crib." He
also rapped the careless, tactless
teacher that states his questions
poorly in an examination or who con
ducts his class in a disorderly man-
fg ft f pts
In regard to the institution of the
honor system in the college, Profes
sor Bradford expressed himself in
favor of it if the sentiment for it
among the students was strong
enough that the student group itself,
would take the responsibility for its
working and not leave the responsi
bility on the teacher.
Speakers for the remainder of
March have been secured, according
to Lloyd Strombeck '28 who is chair
man of the committee. Dr. John A.
Rice of Tulsa, Oklahoma will rpeak
at the Forum on Thursday of next
week.

Cost of Living: Decreases
The cost of living decreased last
year in nearly every large city of
the United States except Boston. As
an abstract piece of statistics this
is all right, but few buyers can re
call being staggered by the amount
they got for their money.
Lions Hold Banquet
In Stadium; Watch
Track Men Perform
Lincoln Lions banqueted Thursday
noon in the east Stadium and then
watched some of Coach Henry F.
Schulte's track men perform with
the veteran coach keeping the Lions
well informed on what was going on.
A similar program was put on last
year, with two purposes: to acquaint
the club with the value of track and
what it was, and to stimulate interest
in the sport.
Weir, Krause, Keiss, and Trumble
worked out over both high and low
barriers for the Lions. Easter and
Elkins did some sprint work and El
kins broad jumped and high jumped.
Sneathen and Dexter ran a 660 in
better than 1:29 time.
Physical Education Keeps Alive
Spirit Says Chinese Missionary
"It is the practice of physical ed
ucation that keeps alive the spirit
that will some day help to emanci
pate the women and girls of China,"
declares Miss Vera Barger, a Nebras
ka graduate, who is head of the re
creational work of the Y. W. C. A.
there. "Some of my students are the
pioneers who are already blazing the
trail."
Miss Barger, who was graduated
fror- Nebraska in 1911, has left her
wo. China in charge of her as-
sista a young Chinese girl whom
she is training to take her place, and
is now in the Philippines organizing
recreational work there. This is an
example of the policy of the Y. W.
C. A. to use Chinese leadership a?
much as possible to work with the
Chinese rather than for them.
Tho Grace Coppock memorial fund
which was originally established to
pay the salary of Miss Coppock, '05,
who was national executive of the
Y. W. C. A. in China, and since her
death has gone to the support of
Miss Barger's work as a memorial.
Vera Barger and Peking's physical
director, Chang Mel Li, have been
staging an intensive program in phys
ical education and recreation which
has brought together enthusiastic
groups of all kinds, men, women, and
