To some it means completion of a pleasant and worthwhile schoo year. To others it means freedom from monotonous J .ra Freshmen eive a sigh of re- lectures anu una for their pledge duties and first-year restrictions are a thing of the past. Sophomores and juniors check off another year in their undergraduate work. But the 86mIn spite of the tiresome routine of the final few weeks, the monotony of going to classes and thinking only of what to do after graduation, the senior exper iences a pang of regret as he attends his classes today with the knowledge that it is the last time. His under graduate days are over. No longer are his the irresponsible days of play at activities, loitering in the Moon, caking around the sorority house, or joining in a lengthy session in one of the study rooms. For the senior is graduating. Other work now lies before him. Oh yes, he may return. But he will not "belong . As he once whispered, he knows that, if he returns to the old haunts, others will turn and say. "Who is that?". , . Instructors, if today the senior makes a miserable attempt at a recitation, do not ridicule him. If he is day-dreaming and paying no attention, do not suddenly ask him the next question. And if you notice him asleep, let him rest peacefully. It's his last class. DRAMATIC SCHOLARSHIP Another far-sighled organization has come forth with a scholarship offer. For the first time a scholarship will be within reach for a deserving dramatic major. The. National Collegiate Players, dramatic honor ary, also known as Pi Epsilon Delta, made a creditable move yesterday when they passed motion that a $50 scholarship should be awarded annually to a deserving dramatic major. The "deserving" embodies need, abil ity, character and all else that the judges think a stu dent should possess to show worthiness. Fifty dollars may not buy a great deal, but fifty dollars to an aspiring individual who is working his way through school means approximately two semesters tuition. There should be raore organizations who foster the worthwhile on this campus and on all other campuses. The "clean-up" of what was dead timber is seeing exe cution. Now that only the deserving organizations are allowed to retain their life, perhaps more of them will display a humanitarian side by furthering education, for this is certainly what a scholarship tends to do. THE DANCE DRAMA Effort, effort, effort and not without result. The Dance Drama to be presented Wednesday night already shows the completion of earnest endeavor. This third annual dance drama to be presented under the auspices of the W. A. A., by Orchesis, the honorary dancing group of the campus, will show the artistic in dancing. An interesting and clever drama has been titV "Once Upon A Time", and dances to the title of "Golli wog", "The Flatterer", the "Joy of Living", "Jack in Box", "Three Blind Mice" and others under equally as amusing heads are being given by trained dancers. The constructive work of the Woman's Athletic association deserves commendation, as does this latest endeavor. CREEKS- -OR WHAT HAVE YOU? Following is an item taken verbatim from Times. It is being reprinted here not so much for its facts but for the way that the various fraternities and their rushing talks are gathered into an interesting and read able bit of data. Some of the facts, especially Hoover and his romance, have been disputed. We shall, how ever, print the item as it appears so that you may at least look lor your own organization. Fraternity-pinned chests swelled with pride at a piece In the Macaunc of fii-ma Chi." by its editor, one Chester W Cleveland. "Today." wrote brother Cleveland, "fraternity folk pretty ranch direct the affairs of the nation.

Will Hayg la a for mer National President of Phi Delta Theta, which gave ua Presi dent Benjamin Harrison." ' Fraternity-pinned chests subsided, however, when Editor Cleveland was carried by his exultation to make tha following statement: "There Is not much doubt about it. Tha next Presi dent of tha United States, if a Republican, will be a fraternity man unlesa Herbert Hoover is elected." To this prophecy, lama enough in its omission of the two leading candidates for Presi dency (Democrat Smith and Republican Hoover), Editor Cleve land added the following: "Herbert Hoover is non-fraternity and anti-fraternity. Hoover worked his way through Stanford by waiting on tabic at the. Kappa Kappa. Gamma sorority house. There he met and courted Lou Henry, now Mrs. Hoover. It is alleged that her sorority sisters were considerably embarrassed in a social way. Their actions and the attitude of the Stanford fraternity men toward him are responsible, undoubtedly, for his feeling of hostility toward the college fraternity system." The Cynic Says: I used to think that a Kappa big edited college Roomer. I must be wrong, for I reed the following item in the last issue: "If the Kappa Sigs win any more athletic events they'll have to build a new house to hold ths trophiesi And no Kappa Sig would say that! Notices In Other Columns j GOD FORGOT TO SMILE There is a subtle beauty in a homely face. To us, homely people are far more appealing to the eye than good looking people; anyone can be handsome today but it requires talent to be down right ugly. It is an art too little appreciated by dilettantes. An airedale, for instance, is, for us, one of the most intriguing of dogs. Looking down into the shaggy face of a canine a warm gush of emotion comes surging up into our breast. The airedale is so homely it is attractive. We swear by our airedales. Likewise we swear by our University aire dales (an affectionate appelative for ugly men). For the fourth year University announces its Ugly Man Contest, wherein a man is judged upon a basis of his physiognomical idiosyncrasies. Memory stirs us as we think of past contests. A tear wells to our eye over our present day decadence. No sir, the day of ugly men is fast drawing to a close. We look for an appreciative shoulder on which to shed our salty tears. Where, O where is our generation heading? Why, in a few years there might not be even one single ugly man for us to grow mawkish about. We hope "Requiescat in pace" will be inscribed over us before this final catastrophe. But there are still a few tokens of a fast receding past. We art very proud in noting that there are at least five ugly men on our campus. The fact is worthy of a hallelujah, yea, it is worthy of several hallelujahs accompanied by a rendering of the Alma Mater (heads uncovered). We have seen college men from univer sities all over the country and we feel that our pride is pardonable in saying that no where is there such an abundance of the rapidly disappearing ugly men as on our own University campus. It is like the last stand of the buffaloes; only a very, very few left, and those herded together on our University campus. We are in the mood for proposing a bill to Congress that these rare specimens be preserved for the delectation of coming generations. Our proposal would suggest that these last few ugly men be gathered in a special pre serve where admittance will be offered to the public (at a nominal charge). Who will come out of this contest as The Ugly Man is conjectural. It is a weighty question. Much can be said on all sides, depending of course on one's view point. After all, though, the outcome is of little con sequence. We should be happy in our uniqueness as the stronghold ' of plain faced sons of the soil. Our votes should be cast without bias. No petty prejudices for Hapsburg jaws or de Bergerac noses should be counted. We ought to cast our vote for the man whom we consider to be the embodiment of all around hid eousness.

More interest has been shown by the men themselves in the last few weeks than ever before. All the companies are showing up extremely well at the present time, and it will undoubtedly be difficult to pick a winner." Three men from each company have been picked xby the company commanders to enter the individual competitive drill. This drill will take place during intermission at the Kos met Klub farewell ball Friday evening. with Beck's orchestra rendering dance selections. Only fifty cents is to be charged for couples and twenty-five cents for stags at the "Fare well ball". "We do need the money to get our debt paid off," remarked a member of Kosmet Klub, "but we still want to satisfy the University." IMPROVING HELEN John Erbkine, professor at Columbia University, whose literary exploits need no mention, believes that he really improved the reputation of Helen of Troy. He wrote his famous book, he told a reporter for the Ohio State Lantern, not for debunking purposes. He said: "There are legends of Helen's having returned from Troy and again living with her husband but there has been little or nothing written about it Something must have happened after her return. I wondered what it was and the book was my version of it. I think I was aa fair to Helen as anyone else. Besides Helen was supposed to have been very beautiful but not much of anything else. Anyway, I do believe I improved her reputation." New Student Service. SQUELCHED The national convention of Scabbard and tilade, honorary college military fraternity, repudiated the explosive letter-writing of its national president, CoL Ralph It. Bush, who in a recent controversy with the Rev. Kobbins W. Barstow, of Madison, Wise., referred to pacifists as "slimy vermin." The motion of censure was introduced by the University of Wisconsin repres entatives. It was agreed also that controversial public discussions should be abandoned. The organization elected a new commander to replace the vitriolic coloneL New Student Service. USELESS COUNCILS A survey of Colleges recently completed by the Coe College Cosmos indicates, that paper reports, a strong minority conviction that student council are purposeless and unsuccessful. Among the skeptics may be mentioned the Harvard Cr.mson, which urges the student governors to turn their attentions to new fields if they wish to remain alive as an institution. Prob lems of government, it says, no longer exist, and coun cil activity on the curriculum is always over-ambitious. It recommends to the executive body the study of the educational system in detail, and the gathering of exact information which may be used in any consideration of changes. New Student Service.

An organized reserve of Nebraska officers is holding a convention in Lincoln this week-end, and the "Farewell party" is featured as one of their entertainment events. They will present awards to certain out standing men in the University of renrasKa K. o. T. C.

The "Fare, all ball" is being held with tlte primary purpose of rivino atnrlpnta an onnnrtnnity to Say their "goodbyes", and proper coop eration will make it a success, in the opinion of University mn. The party will start at 9 o'clock Co-Eds Learn to Judge Goods Scientifically (Continued from Page 1) the students are able to develop a definite knowledge and accurate judgment of the qualities of fabrics. As future buyers they will demand materials of good quality, thus put ting the responsibility of improved manufactured goods upon the pro ducers and manufacturers. In this way, a uniformly better quality of finished products will result. In fact, it will be a step toward the ed ucation of the buying public and will tend to eliminate the production of cheap, shoddy, and inferior products. The micrometer is a piece of equipment which shows the number of picks and ends, or warp and woof threads there are per inch. The number of picks and ends used in weaving a fabric results in a tightly woven or a loosely woven piece of material, each of which has its ad vantages and disadvantages accord ing to the use made of the favric. The twist counter nermits the ex act number of twist per inch in the yarns to be estimated, this being a determining factor in the durability of the finished fabric. Samples from one to ten inches can be clamp ed in the jaws provided for the pur pose and by revolving the hand wheel until the yarn lays straight and the strands are paralled the dial will ac curately record the number of turns unravelled. .The standard twist counter is equipped with a graduated disk for both right and left hand twists. Automatic Cloth Tester The automatic power cloth-tester is a piece of equipment rarely found in the riddle west, although large textile factories use it to test the tensile strength and elasticity of their products. This is an important factor in the determination of the durability of materials and it will be a decided advantage to the girls in analyzing for themselves the types of materials. As a result thev will have definite knowledge regarding the outstanding material for which they might find use. Furthermore. ithey will know from such tests what they may expect in wearing quilities from the fabric itself. The automatic power cloth-tester requires no special wiring, and cur rent may be obtained by "Dluetrinir" into any ordinary lamp socket. The tow-ends of the sample are secured in the clamps which are of flat errin. screw operated type and were devel oped especially for the U. S. Army Quartermaster's department. Thev are equipped with inter changeable gripping surfaces and this feature,' in combination with the large open space allowed behind the gripping surfaces, permits of many styles of tests being made on a great variety of materials. The machine is operated by a lever which starts the stretching screw rnovSrij downward at a definite speed, breaking the sample in its ac tion. It automatically reverses, re- tnmivs at high speed, and stops In position to receive another sample. The downward drive is made through a folid-tootlied clulh anj r-piralcut gears, thus insuring constant speed Annual Cadet Drill Will Be Staged Friday (Continued from Pag 1) and platoon. Regimental review. All companies are to compete for the company prizes. Elimination for platoon competition, was held recent ly by a board of officers consisting of Captains Lehman and Hoss. The eight platoons receiving the highest rating were: First platoon company B; second platoon company B; first platoon company E; second platoon com pany G; first platoon company H; third platoon company I; second platoon company K; second platoon -company M. Winners Receive Cups The company winning compet will receive the Omaha cup, a blue streamer for their guidon, and each man will receive a blue ribbon. The s cond place company receives a red streamer for the company guidon, and a red ribbon for each man in the company. The company placing third will receive a white streamer for the guidon and a white ribbon for each man. The winning platoon in the com petitive drill for platoons will receive the Lincoln cup and a light blue ribbon for each man in the platoon. Medals will be given to the com manders of the winning company and platoon. Loving cups are to be award ed to men placing first, second, and third in individual competitive drill. Lieut Col. F. F. Jewett of thel military department says, "The com Novel Trip Anticipated By Two Teachers (Continued from Page 1) miles to this celebration wearing their most gorgeous native costum es. A part of the day's ceremonies consists of crawling on hands and knees some distance to the shrine where the finger of St. John is kept. "Of course we don't expect to do this but it will be fun watching others do it," Miss Lee stated. From Plaugastel Miss Lee and her party will travel through the chateau country of France on their way to Paris. After a week in Paris they will cross to England and spend the rest of the summer travelling through England, Wales and Scotland. Instead of seeing the country in company with a large tourist party as so many American tourists do. Miss Lee and her friends will travel independently and will follow their own itinerary. .They will travel be tween cities and towns by train and motor bus but will see the country surrounding these towns on foot and bicycle. Visit England Their route will lie through the west and south coast of England, the Shakespeare and Dickens country the cathedral towns, the English lake district, in addition to a week in Lon don. Much time will be spent in hik ing and bicycling in the Land's End country. The party plans to spend some time at the seashore resorts and will visit an attiat colony at Clavelly. This town has only one street and this street is composed entirely of stairs. "We want to make the twenty mile hike from Coventry to Stratford and perhaps cross one pass in Scot land on foot," Miss Lee continued. Miss Lee is an experienced hiker and numbers among her achievements having crossed the continental divide five times on foot. She has also hiked ninety of the two hundred mile trail through the Green Mountains. She was accompanied on this trip by Miss Shaw who will be in the party this summer.
