Formerly a Festival
Pharmacy Week, in the earlier his
tory of the College of Pharmacy, was
on the order of a festival,- but its
nature was changed in 1921 to some
thing educational as well. The first
year of the change was more or less
of an experiment, according to Pro
fessor Burt, head of the Nebraska
Department of Pharmacy, whose aim
to give the public a scientific foun
dation of Pharmacy and the students
some experience in actual work.
At the convention of the Amer
ican Association of Colleges of
Pharmacy, held at Philadelphia last
September, the Committee on Stu
dent and Alumni Activities of which
J. B. Burt was chairman, recom
mended that Pharmacy Exhibits sim
ilar to that of the College of Pharm
acy, University of Nebraska, be fos
tered in the member colleges as
worthwhile activities of student bod
ies. This recommendation was unan
imously adopted by the association.
As a result, a number of schools and
colleges of Pharmacy have arranged
such exhibits, to take place either
this year or next. Among others, the
College of Pharmacy, Iowa State
University, are now planning such an
educational exhibit.

Dr. Candy Describes
Magic Squares in Talk
"Magic Squares" was the sub
ject of the talk given by Dr. A.
L. Candy, chairman of the Mathe
matics department, before the
Math Club meeting last evening
in Social Science Auditorium. Dr.
Candy illustrated his talk with
lantern slides, and showed the for
mation of the magic squares.
"A 'Magic Square' is a number
of numbers arranged so the sum
of one column or diagonal is the
same as the sum of any other,"
explained Dr. Candy". Magic
Squares are not new, they were
probably known by the Chinese
many years ago.

Stadeat Cast Will Present Last
Of Children Theater Plays
Friday and Saturday
"Cinderella," by Lucy Alsanson,
will be presented by the Children's
Theater in the Dramatics Depart
ment, Friday and Saturday after
noons in the Temple Theater. The
play is under the direction of Robert
Reed, of the Dramatic Department,
assisted by Miss Howell.
All of the stage settings have been
designed by Mr. Reed and the cos
tumes by Genevive Carney with the
help of Joyce Adair and Elizabeth
Coolidge. It is thought that the art
work will prove tu be the most
unique, and will surpass all others
used so far in the Children's Theater
Solo dances by Thirza Fay will be
one of the main features of the pro
duction. The setting used for the
first scene is supposed to be one of
the best and most elusive ever used
in a University play; the main fea
ture is to be a large batik hanging,
painted by Mr. Reed, and a gauze
curtain will be used across the stage
so that a fairy-like appearance may
be presented to the audience. The
other scenes will be carried out in the
'permanent set" or gray drops, the
lightning effects being the only color
used.
The cast is as follows:
Dust o' Gold.. Thirza Fay
Rumplestiltzken Howard Cottle

PLANS MADE FOR CONFERENCE
Y. M. C. A. Leaders Discuss Plans
For Joint Meeting With Club
John Allison, retiring president,
and Joe M. Hunt, president-elect of
the University Y. M. C. A., met yes
terday evening with the cabinet of
the Lincoln Hi-Y Club to discuss
plans for a joint conference of Unl-i
versity Y. M. C. A. leaders and high
school students who are coming to
the University next year.
Allison and Hunt spoke briefly of
what the Y. M. C. A. wis hoping to
accomplish on the campus and the
place in it for high school men who
have developed leadership through
the Hi-Y's over the state. Hunt es
pecially emphasized the value of the
Hi-Y in building character and in
developing all around ability. The
date for such a conference will be
announced later.
Rainy Weather
Predicted for
Indefinite Time
"Rain! Rain! Go away, come again
some other day," will soon be the un
iversity chant instead of the grade
school song if annoying downpours
continue as they have for the last
eight days, resulting in such features
as smelley slickers, wet feet, muddy
stockings, and dampened thought.
Rain is again predicted for tonight
and tomorrow, so well just have to
grin and bear it." Eight days of
rain and no sun is pretty bad, but
things have been worse, for one time
in the months of February and May
it driislcd along for 16 consccuti
days. This occured in 1905 and also
in 1896. Every day in those 16 days
it rained with only occasional breaks
of the sun.
Last spring was comparatively dry
compared to our spring weather of
this year. March a year ago received
.76 inches precepation as compared
to 2.76 inches of this year, while in
April of that year we had only .38
inches of rain. It was the driest Ap
ril in 16 years. Let us hope that this
year will rot be the wettest one.
April Wettest One on Record
Perhaps while speaking about the
wettest year it might be uplifting to
talk about the driest one. Accred
ited records show that April of 1910
was the dryest, having only .02 in
ches of moisture. The April of 1927
was the wettest one we have any
record of when it rained 6.15 inches.
Reliable weather records do not run
back any further than 1875.
The rain has not done any- par
ticular harm so far as regards the
farmers. It is merely delaying them
from starting plowing for corn and
sowing oats, but will not be a serious
delay,
The farmers wouldn't mind
a little sunshine, however, for it is
rather hard for them to get around
easily and do their chores.
Students can at least be pleased
that Lincoln is not the dampest place
in the state, since reports show that

Morrill Hall which has recently
been completed will be formally ded
icated during the spring commence
ment week. This building was nam'
ed in honor of Charles H. Morrill of
Stromsburg, who is a former regent
of the University and has been for
many years a generous patron of the
Museum and the University. It is
expected that Mr. Morrill will come
to Linclon for the dedication cere
mony of Morrill HalL
Although the School of Fine Arts
and the University Museum have been
occupying the building for some time
the Department of Geology has not
yet moved to the new quarters, and
some of the finishing work of getting
the building into permanent good
shape is now being done.
The first view shows one of the
stairways on either side of the main
entrance, which is on the north side

GREEK COUNCIL
OPPOSES NEW
PLEDGING BILL
Interfraternity Council Will
Arouse Opposition to
Deferred Pledging
VARIOUS REASONS GIVEN
Body Believes Rushing Would
Be More Important Factor
If Bill Effective
The interfraternity council will
make a special endeavor to arouse
opposition in the House of Represen-.
tatives against the new bill on sec
ond semester pledging for fraterni
ties on the Nebraska campus which
has already passed the second hear
ing in the senate by a 3 to 1 vote.
This action was decided at a special
meeting of the council held last eve
ning in Social Science 107. Prof. E.
F. Schramm, chairman of the coun
cil, called the meeting with the in
tention of taking some action against
the proposed bill and to decide the
date for the annual interfraternity
banquet.
Members of the committee on frat
ernity legislation have automatically
been chosen to represent the Council
to bring pressure on the sifting com
mittee of the House of Representa
tives, where the pledging bill now
rests. As the legislature will likely
adjour in another week, this action '
will be taken by the Council at once.
Outlines Reasons for Objections
rushing would be made a
more important factor is the main
reason given by the council for op
posing the legislation. It was de
cided early in the meeting to oppose
the bill because of the following rea
sons, as outlined by the chairman,
Professor Schramm:
1. Because freshman would be '
rushed to such an extent under the
new plan that it would interfere with
their school work. Too' much atten
tion would be given to the first-year
men, and not enough pressure
brought to bear on their getting
down to work.
2. A new system of dormitories
would have to be devised.
3. Would cause fraternities to re
vise their financial plans.
Plans for the annual Interfrater
nity banquet on May 11 were started.
The committee' appointed to take
charge of this affair includes Merle
Jones, Wendell Cameron, Edward
Morrow, and Horace Noland. The
scholarship plaques and cup awarded
to fraternities will be presented at
this time.
