SPRING RECESS fILLNOTBEAS LONGASUSUAL Vacation Will be One Day Short Because of Thanks S giving Holiday CHANGE DUE TO REQUEST Student. Should Abide By Rule Since Their Request Made Change Necessary The spring recess will begin April 5 Saturday noon, and end April 6, Wednesday at 8 o'clock a. m. accord In to an announcement from Dean Chatburn's office yesterday.. It had previously been planned that the re S, should not end until Thursday morning. . This change is due to a petition of the Student Council asking for the day following Thanksgiving day M a holiday. The Senate allowed it on the grounds that this holiday be made up during spring vacation. This is perhaps the first time that the students have ever made np for a holiday. It has been taken care of in the plans of the schedule for next year, according to reports ffora the Lean of Mens' Offi:o. No Excuses for Absence Dean Heppner declared that no excuses will be given for absences on Wednesday, April 6, and that three percent will be deducted from final grades in case of absence. "It was the students choice," she said, r.ipnn A. Buck, president of the Student Council stated in speaking t the matter "this has been the first time in many years that there hasJ not been school after Thanksgiving day. It is only right that the stu dent body should be willing to give up one day during the spring recess to make up for the day missed at Thanksgiving time. I see no rea son why anyone should complain about the shortened spring vacation, because I believe the extra day at Thanksgiving meant more to almost everyone." KANSAS LOSES SINGLE DEBATE Kaggies May Win Championship Of Missouri Valley Debate League Lawrence, Kan., Mutch 22. The University of Kansas debating team may win the championship of the Missouri Valley Debate Conference as a result of completing the season's schedule with only one defeat. The K. U. team won its final debate of the season last week from the Uni versity of Colorado team. Most of the other teams in tho con ference have lost more than one de bate and each of the three others that has lost only once has three more de bates on their schedules, so Kansas has a good chance to win the unchal lenged championship. If one of the other teams should win all three of its debates a meet with Kansas will H arranged to play off the tie. Schools represented in the Missouri Valley Debate Conference are: the Universities of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota and Colorado, and the Kansas State Agricultural College and Drake University.

Nebraska Pharmacists Ranked High By Director Jordan of Purdue School The College of Pharmacy has re cently been attracting notice from other schools in the country through the establishment of new practices.

"The University of Nebraska Col lege of Pharmacy has announced that beginning with September, 1927, students will not be admitted to less than four-year courses," the article states. "This step forward on the part of the University of Nebraska is the more surprising because the state has no prerequisite law. The University College of Pharmacy is already far in advance of the legal requirements, Spring Football Game Will Be Played Today The spring football game which was to be played on the Stadium field Saturday afternoon but was called off, will be played this after noon at 4:15 o'clock, according to Ernest Bearg, head football coach.

"At a recent election of trustees of this' University, a pharmacist was elected to this body. I consider this a very important step and one of great significance. I am sure that pharmacy in the University of Nebraska will be given a greater consideration because a pharmacist sits on the governing board of the university. Other states can well follow this example and see to it that a pharmacist is placed on the governing board of the state in stitution that has pharmacy as one of its branches of instruction," Mr. S. D. Long, of Coles Nebraska, elected to the Board of Regents at their last election, is the trustee to whom Dr. Jordan refers.

Requests for an art supervisor, an orchestra director, and athletic coach es were received from Norfolk re cently.

WESLEYAN STUDENT SPEAKS AT VESPERS Lucille Gillette Tell Women of Industrial Exoeriment Work in Cities "How many of you girls ate a cookie or a can Jy bar today?" Lucille Gillette askod the girls at the vesper service yesterday. Miss Gillette, who goes to the Nebraska Wesleyan Uni versity was a member of the group of college women who took part in the Chicago Industrial Experiment last year. "Did any of you think of the peo ple whose lives are taken up with the production of these things? Just be cause some girls were curious to learn more about the making of these articles the industrial experiment was founded. Each year a group of col lege women go to some big industrial city like Chicago and live the life of a factory girl for six weeks. Any woman who has had a course in eco nomics or some such subject, is heal thy, earnest, and has a recommenda tion from two professors, is eligible to become a member of this group. Under the guidance of the Y. W- C. A. the girl3 spend about three days out of the citv discussing their com ing problems together." Tells Own Experiences The speaker then told of her ex periences and the securing of a job. Her first position was in the Uneeda Biscuit Company where she, with fourteen other girls, packed thc cookies in cardboard boxes. She soon heard the sordid life history of some of her companions. One in particular was a young woman who had married during the war and whose husband had come home a dope fiend. Leaving him she secured this job which paid her thirteen dollars a week and sup ported herself and little boy. Because the neighbors objected to the child's cries she had to spend evening after evening hushing it up. All these un fortunate circumstances made her r bitter and disillusioned woman. "However, I did not remain in this factory all of my six weeks. I ob tained work at a candy factory and you will be surprised to know the conditions here were unspeakably fil thy, I was handed an apron just loaded with dirt and old chocolate. We had to roll the candy bars in the chocolate and bun were of daily oc currence. The employes were treated badly and the pay was poor. "Thesa girls look like us, In many cases dress like us, but they speak a language vastly different from ours," Miss Gillette said. "It is part of your education not only to know the Amer ica around you but; to know the America that is supplying you and which you rarely see." The meeting was led by Hazel Sut ton. Thelma King gave a vocal solo Plays Shylock 1 J - V Harold Sumption, who will portray Shylock in the last University Play ers production this season, "The Merchant of Venice," to be given in the Temple Theater, March 24, 25, and 26.

Harold Sumption will take the role of Shylock, the narrow Jewi who nursee an intense hatred for Gentiles; Elea nor Fogg Whitam is portraying the lovely and versatile Portia, who out wits the crafty Shylock and saves the life of Antonio, the debtor, played by Ray Ramsay. The original arrangement of the play, as written by Shakespeare, is almost impossible to play adequately on the modern stage, due to the num ber of scenes necessary. The Play ers are using the revised script pre pared a few years ago by David Be lasco, and in this cutting, they are introducing something absolutely new in stage productions here. Orchestra Will Occupy Boxes Two orchestras will play for the performances, and they will be seated in the theater boxes. The boxes will be effectively decorated to represent gondolas tied to lamp topped hitohing posts on either side of the stage. The orchestra pit will be the canal; and a wide staircase forms a bridge over the canal, thus . connecting the stage with the au dience. Some of the action of the play will take place in the aisles. Col ored silk pennants hanging from the balcony, and special lamps hlp to give an atmosphere of Venice to the entire house, and will contribute a great deal to the realism of the offer ing. Draperies and special lighting effects will bo used. "The Merchant of Venice" will close the eleventh successful season of the University Players. Student season tickets will admit holJeis lo this production. Regular matinees will be offered Friday and Saturday at 2:30 o'clock. Tickets may be pur chased at the Ross P. Curtice store.
