modern settings and stage effects. A
variety of scenes offers a great di

range from the simplest to the most
unique and unusual of sets. Mr.

New Unit Plan
Final confirmation of the plan for
reorganization of the student Y. M
C. A. was given at the annual meet
ing of the national council held in
Chicago recently, it was announced
by C. D. Hayes, general secretary,
Under the new organization, a stu

colleges and universities of the coun
try, which is a distinct national unit.
The student division is still a part
of the national Y. M. C. A., but is
free to go ahead and develop its own
policies and programs.
This reorganization will have an
important effect on the Nebraska
student organization, says Mr. Hayes.
It is a distinctly democratic student
movement, its policies being deter
mined by a national council, meet
ing anntrally. This national council is
composed of representatives of eight
area councils throughout the coun
try. Each local student association
has a representative on the student
council in its own area. Nebraska

English Critic
Offers Praise
Of Miss Pound
"American Speech," journal de
voted to the English language, of
which Louise Pound, is editor, is the
subject of a twelve-page paper by
J. H. G. Grattan of University col
lege, London.
Mr. Grattan, in an article which
appeared in the "Review of English
Studies" for October says of "Amer
ican Speech:" "The facts and views
set forth in this article are illus
trated mainly from American sourc
es. Especially valuable to the writ
er has been the new journal "Amer
ican Speech," for which he would
wish a wide circulation in this coun
try also. While essentially the
mouthpiece of scholars who have
made a study of their own language,
this valuable and most welcome pe
riodical opens its columns to wider
circles, and may thus serve to ac
quaint a European with general ed
ucated American opinion."

University of Nebraska whom he
