SWEARINGEN GIVES
ROUND TABLE TALK
Pastor front Minnesota Speak on
'Follow Me' at Luncheon of
Religious Croup
That good will towards men and
uprightness of character are not'
enough to satisfy Christian require
ments was explained by Dr. Henry
C. Swearingen, pastor of the House
of Hone Presbyterian church, St.
Paul, Minnesota, at the Religious
Round Table m the Grand hotel, Fri
day noon.
This was the last luncheon meet
ing that the Round Table group,
sponsored by the University pastors,
will hold until after Easter. Next
week the Round Table will join in
Good Friday services at the Univer
sity Episcopal church.
Teachings Are Discussed
"We are told in these days to go
back to the simple teachings of Jes
us," stated Dr. Swearingen in his ad
dress on the topic, "Follow Me."
"We'r. told that if we take His
words and follow them that we will
achieve the ends of Christianity.
"This is scarcely so," he added.
Mesne is something more than a
teacher. He is a Savior first and
then a Master, a King and then a
Redeemer. We can't follow Jesus
unless we have the realization of the
sense of the reality of the personal
ity of God and our relation to him.
We can't follow Him unless we real
ize the necessity for prayer."
early part of the year it became con
fused with the season, and gradually
the word "Lent," derived from the
Anglo-Saxon word 'lencten," mean
ing spring or the lengthening days,
became appropriated. to its present
esclesiasttcal use, he explained.
"The spirit and supernatural cbar
rtor of Christianity gave rise to spe-i
cial observances in preparation for
the festival commemorating tne res
urrection cf Christ on Easter," con

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA,
Attendance at
Opora Pleases
Augusta Lenska
(Catherine Elizabeth Hanson)
"Why, I never saw so many people
in one evening at a concert in all my
life," exclaimed Augusta Lenska,
who played the part of Azucena, the
wandering Biscayan gypsy in "II Tro
vatore" here Thursday. She was
pleased by the large attendance at
the Lincoln performance.
Commenting on her part she said,
"I never feel my part until I get
my war-paint on. The reason I have
been so successful in portraying Azu
cena lies in the fact that my sim
plicity is genuine, and my hate is
sincere. When I am playing Azucena,
I fairly live the part!"
Artists Are Human
"Many people do not expect artists
to be human-beings," she said. "But
we are very human. We are only dif
ferent in our art, on the stage. Many
people like to be' fed on fairy tales
about artists. It is the art of an ar
tist that should appeal to people, not
an artist's peculiarities.
"People fail to realize that artists
are much more susceptible to grief,
they have higher sensibilities, feel
more deeply and are sincere in their
acting," she continued. "But do not
misunderstand me, please. I love
people."
Sincerity Is Necessary
When asked how success in art
may be achieved Miss Lenska said,
"That is based on natural gifts, but
the artist must be sincere. He must
always be critical of himself. An ar
tist never stops being an artist. And
and artist must also be a psycholo
gist. I mention this because there is
nothing more essential than for an
artist to be able to have a perfect
understanding of the character he is
to portray."

HOME EC GROUP
HOLDS SESSION
Development of Character and
Education Is Discussed
By Beulah Coon
Annual meeting of Nebraska's
state Home Economics association
was held in Lincoln, March 30 and
31. Miss Beulah Coon, former head
of the department of Home Econom
ics at the University of Nebraska for
five years, now head of that depart
ment at the University of Chicago,
was the chief speaker.
At the Saturday morning meeting
held in the Student Activities build
ing, at the College of Agriculture,
Miss Coon said: "One of the biggest
jobs the home economics teacher has
is to teach the development of better
ways of behaving. According to one
of the more recent ideas of educa
tion, subject matter is best conceived
as ways of responding and reacting.
Boys and girls are now taught how to
live.
Ideals May Be Developed
Ideals may be developed by help

LIVING CELL IS
TO BE SUBJECT
Dr. Shirk of Wesleyan Will
Give Address Before Phi
Lambda Upsilon
MEET IS OPEN TO PUBLIC
Dr. C. J. Shirk of Nebraska Wes
leyan University, will discuss the liv
ing cell at an open meeting of Phi
Lambda Upsilon, national honorary
chemical society, at 8 o'clock Tues
day evening in the University of Ne
braska chemistry building. The
public is invited.
He will discuss the chemical reac
tions which so far as is known go on
in the living cell, about which recent
chemical research has had many
problems to solve.
Reactions Are Not Clear
With respect to the composition
and reactions of the many chemical
compounds of cellular activity, the
biochemist is today well informed,
and plant and animal physiologists
are very familiar with the exterior
factors which affect the action of
plant and animal eels. But the
chemical reactions which go on with
in the living cell is less clear.
Whether living protein is the same
as the dead material in flour, beef
and beans, will be one of the ques
tions Dr. Shirk will take up. He will
also discuss the perplexities arising
from the fact that the chemist in his
laboratory must employ the most ex
treme methods to produce the simp
lest bit of sugar from the basic ele
ments, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen.
Cell Action I Simple
In the living cell in the weakest
sort of solutions produces the most
complicated sort of by-products, such
as sugars, starch, and cellulose, with
apparently little difficulty.
By training and early teaching ex
perience a chemist, Dr. bhirlc has
since turned his attention to the field
of biology, which is now his scientific
profession.
The names of the newly-elected
members to Phi Lambda Upsilon will
be announced at the meeting Tues
day evening.
Baptist Team Will

Expert in Men's Styles
Says Nebraska Students
Among Best Dressed
"University of Nebraska men are
among the best-dressed in Missouri
Conference schools and show an apt
itude for new styles which most
schools are slow to accept," stated
Donald Barr, special university rep
resentative for Stratford Clothes yes
terday afternoon. Mr. Barr has been
in Lincoln the past few days talking
with fraternity men and viewing
style tendencies.
Donald Barr has spent some time
touring Eastern and Middle-western
colleges and universities, and is im
pressed with the new exhibition of
style consciousness that is being
shown by college men. This attitude
is rapidly changing university men
from poorly dressed individuals to
well-dressed young men, according to
the style expert. The sloppy "col
legiate" dress is "out."
Spring fashions in men's clothing
