TAKES FURTHER TOLL
Additional Cases of Malady
Are Reported in Ranks
Of Student Body
DISMISS SOME CLASSES
The influenza epidemic con
tinued to exact its toll yesterday
in the absentees from classes.
Professors were confronted with
an increased number of vacant
seats and several classes were dis
missed because instructors were
absent.
Dr. II. A. Lyman of the College
of Pharmacy uoted little change
In the situation yesterday. He said
that while there is a great deal of
Influenza in school a large number
of the so-called influenza cases are
only severe colds or cases of
grippe. There are a number of
students who are going crazy over
colds merely because of the in
fluenza epidemic according to Dr.
Lyman.
Report Is Unfounded
A report that school was to be
dismissed a week early on account
of ttie epidemic was denied Satur
day by Chancellor K. A. Burnett.
This statement was verified by
Dean T. J. Thompson. "It wasn't
even considered" was his state
ment. Repeating his warning of Satur
day, Dr. Lyman urges students to
take care of themselves and to
stav inside if possible. Plenty of
rest in bed. a light diet, and the
use of laxatives were his recom
mendations for relief from the
malady.

Almost nnv kind of animal can

goldfish and clogs will he used in
the laboratory.
Most of the large universities in
ihn rnnntrv have these laboratories
and it is merely In line with th
rlan for the enlargement of the
department. Psychologists are very
much concerned now with anlm.il
Insight in animals. They are In

SATURDAY PARTY LIST
F,
Committee Is Pleased With
Cooperation of Greeks
For Next Dance
i
EXPECT LARGE CROWD
Two formal parties and five
house dances have been scheduled
for Saturday evening, December 15,
according to word received from
the office of the dean of women.
Varsity Party committee members
expressed satisfaction that no more
dances had been scheduled, and ex
pect an unusually large attendance
at the '"Holiday Hop."
"We hope that eventually fra
ternities and sororities will co
operate with us enough to refrain
from booking parties on dates that
conflict with varsity parties,"
stated one member of the commit
tee. "However, we are aware that
many' students- attend both their
own dances and the Varsity Tarty
when they are held on the same
evening."
'Hop''Will Be Annual Affair
The 'Holiday Hop" will be the
annual Christmas varsity party.
Decorations will carry out the
Christmas theme and will be as
elaborate as any party of the sea
son. The task of decorating the
Coliseum is acknowledged to be a
large one, but in the past year and
a half the Varsity Party committee
has gained a reputation for un
usual decorations. The decorating
staff is larger than any other de
partment of the Varsity Party com
mittee, and in addition to this num
ber every member of the complete
committee assists in putting tip the
decorations on the morning before
a varsity dance.
The policy of varsity parties has
undergone a marked change in the
past two years', accordtngto prom
inent students. Publicity workers
no longer appeal to the student
body for "support," but. endeavor,
rather, to arrange parties that will
be enjoyed by students.
As usual the varsity party to be
held Saturday evening will have ex
cellent music, provided by one of
Cnntinurd on race .
SPEAK TUESDAY NIGHT
Reverend Hunt Will Talk On
Religion's Contribution
To Personality
Third of a series of meetings
dealing with the general subject of
mental hygiene will be held In the
Social Science auditorium, at 7:30
o'clock Tuesday evening. Dr. Miles
J. Breuer will speak on the sub
ject of "adolescence." The general
public is Invited.
The adolescent period is very
commonly one of instability, both
of the emotional life and of person
ality in general, and it is at this
period that many of the problems
of mental hygiene originate or be
come acute. Our knowledge of the
characteristics of adolescence is
very meager and many parents and
teachers "Just don't know what to
do" with children at this stage of
development Therefore, the ad
dress of Dr. Hreuer will be of wide
Interest.
Rev. Ray Hunt will also speak
at this meeting on the subject of
"The Contribution of Religion to
Personality."
So much Interest has been shown
In these meetings that it Is pro
posed to continue them during tho
winter and to present, at some
time or other, the subject of men
tal hygiene from many different
angles.
On January 8 the general topics
for discussion will be "The Psy
chiatric Clinic" aud "Child Guid
ance," under the leadership of Dr.
Paul Roval aud Superintendent M.
C. Lefler.

Student Query
Is 'Night Clubs
In Afternoon?'
Whoever beard of a night, club
tn the afternoon? Nebraska stu
dents have been asking themselves
Just that. When most students
would ordinarily be resting from a
strenuous Friday night spent at a
formal or caking on Sixteenth
ftreet with one of those campus
crushers (not a co-ed), Kabaret
Kosmet will be having Its opening
next Saturday afternoon at the
Hotel Cornhusker.
As a preliminary to the Saturday
night date, Kosmet Klub will en
tertain with Beck's orchestra in
their new Kabaret Kosmet, in the
Georgian room. Catering service
will be had at the hotel which will
Include the serving of tempting
dishes, aside from tho fact that no
hat checks will bo lost.
'Whoopee' From 3 to 5
Two hours of "whoopee", from
3 to 5 o'clock, will mark tho big
frolic staged by King Kosmet nnd
His royal entertainers, and with a
master of ceremonies, everything
promises to be as gay as the wait
er's night off in the "Singing Fool".
Several acts of entertainment have
been planned for Saturday's fun
fest, which are reputed to be good,
despite the fact that they were not
in the Thanksgiving show.
What to wear to the Kabaret
Kosmet, which by the way, has re
placed the struggle in the stadium
on Saturday afternoons as an all
University activity, will be foretold
in the weekly social calendar. Ac
cording to the Kosmet Klub, the
Kabaret Kosmet is open to all stu
dents holding two-bits In each right

'THE OUTSIDER'

Performance
ARE WELL SUPPORTED
Secondary Roles of Reade
And Ramay Serve to
Assist Leads
"The Outsider" featuring the pro
fessional acting of Cornelia Ayres
and Zolley Lerner, as the leads,
played to an almost capacity house
last night, for the opening perform
ance In the week's run of the pro
duction. As Ragatzy, the outsider, ostra
cized from the select circle of Brit
ish surgeons, Mr. Lerner presented,
one of the best bits of amateur
dramatization since his perform
ance in "I.iliom" last year. His abil
ity at pantomime, was not over
shadowed by his ability in holding
his character by displaying a for
eign accent which had been ac
quired for the sole purpose of
strengthening his acting in "The
Outsider."
Feminine Lead Is Good
A newcomer in the ranks of Uni
versity Players is Cornelia Ayres,
who played the leminine load in
the production, that of Lalage Stur
dee, tho crippled daughter of one
of Britain's most, eminent surgeons.
Her interpretation, sympathy for
the strenuous character, and the
sincerity in which she presented
the lines of Dorothy Brandon, the
crippled author, made her out
standing with her fiue impression
of her major role.
In the supporting cast of charac
ters, Klwood Ramsay, as Vincent,
Helmore, a British surgeon, and
Alta Reade, as Madame Klost,
added to their own glory with their
exceptional bits of characterization
and to the action of Mr. Lerner and
Miss Ayres by strengthening their
characters. Miss Lempke should be
commended in her interpretation of
the English maid because of her
acquired accent.
Features Three Characters
Tho action of the play concerns,
for the most part Lalage her
father, and Ragatzy. Ialagc has
been crippled since birth and her
father, besides other surgeons pro
