Five Heads of Departments
Are Consulted About
New System
ONE DISSENTING VOTE
Dr. Wolcott Is Only Member
To Show Disfavor On
Proposal
Five beads of departments of the
University generally approved the
plan advocated by The Daily Ne
hraskan to post final grades at the
end of each semester.
The plan as explained in The
Daily Nebraskan of Wednesday
would have examination papers
numbered and would require the
instructor to post a list of grades
or each student. In posting the
grades the examination numbers
would be used In order that each
student would know his grades
without revealing it to others.
The only dissenting opinion from
those interviewed was voiced by
Dr. R. H. Wolcott, chairman of the
zoology department.
Dr. Wolcott Not In Favor
"I don't likti to post the marks
of students," Dr. Wolcott said. "I
think his grades are a private mat
ter. I think a student is entitled to
know his standing at all times."
Dr. Wolcott went on to say that
he was perfectly willing to tell a
student his standing at any time.
In fact, he said he preferred to
have bis students come Into his of
fice and ask for their grades be
cause It gives him an opportunity
to know them better and to com
mend or to criticize their twork.
J. D. Hicks, chairman of the his
tory department, thinks that it
would be a good plan. He explained
that it always had been his prac
tice to refuse to give out any of
the grades orally but to mail the
final mark to any student who
would leave a stamped envelope or
card. In this way be would not be
continually pestered by students
asking for their grades.
Professor Hicks shares the senti
ment of many that all grades, cred-

Chilly Bain Drenches Fur
Wearing Co-eds Before
Temperature Drops and
Snow Start to Fall
Old man Jupiter repented the
cold reception of returning stu

he wept bitter tears for several
hours Wednesday morning. Fine
weather for ducks, but for fur
wearing animals of the University,
It bad disastrous effects, such as a
general appearance of drenched
raccoon, and an odor of burning
rubber.
At 7 o'clock the temperature had
risen to thirty-eight degrees, nor
mal weather for April. Because of
the warmth, Jupiter's tears took on
a liquid form, but shortly after 10
o'clock, small snowballs began
trickling their way down to earth,
Indicating that, at the skyline at
least, the temperature was going
down.
T. A. Blair, meteorologist, said
that the snow was probably only
in eastern Nebraska. Temperature
all over the country was much
warmer, the coldest spot on the
continent being Mlnnedosa. Can
ada, with a temperature of zero.
This was a rise of thirty-two de
grees since Monday.
Texas Is Hottest Placs
In Corpus Christ!, Texas, the
mercury rose to sixty-eight, higher
than in any other part of the
country. By tomorrow morning the
temperature will be about twenty
degrees, which together with the
miniature Icebergs and hardened
slush, will probably give rise to an
issue for the foundation of a "So

SOlMMrEARS-
Emerson College President
Gives Interpretation of
Richelieu
Henry-- Lawrence Southwick,
president of Emerson College of
Oratory at Boston, succeeded in
thrilling a packed Temple theater
auditorium last night as he has
thrilled great audiences all over
the country with his Interpretation
of "The Cardinal King."
Miss Alice Howell of the univer
sity dramatic school, Introduced
Mr. Southwick and stated that he
had been her professor when Bhe
attended Emerson college, jlhe
said that "he has been here many
times before and we hope he will
continue to come for It is always
a homecoming."
Southwick Impersonates Richelieu
"Tho Cardinal King" is an In
terpretation of "Richelieu," Bu.-
wer Lytton's famous drama. Mr.
Southwick, presenting the appear
ance" of a "grand old man" with
snow white hair, gestures, and all
the aids of an oratorist, was well
equipped to Impersonate Richelieu,
that famous French prime minis
ter. He has been presented in
several Shakespearean recitals and
lectures since his first appearance
on the stage several years ago.
"The Cardinal King" is said to be
one of his best Impersonations.
It deals with a plot of conspir
ators to take the life of the Car
dinal and bring the downfall of his
beloved country, France. He finds
himself surrounded by spies and
bis palace full of murderers ready
to take his life. But in the end,
the conspirators and spies are
discovered, punished, and Riche
lieu and France are saved.
An article in the Boston Herald
lauds Mr. Southwick's presenta
tion, saying that he succeeded ad
mirably In suggesting the grim
humor of the "Cardinal," .vnd that
the famous declamatory passages
and theatrical outbursts, for which
the play Is noted, were skillfully
bandied.
Mr. Southwick's appearance was
under the auspices of University
Players.

Morrill Hall Stages
Dnll of Year With Real Smoke
Entire Lincoln Truck Force
Answers Call to Museum,
But Get Bessey ' Hall by
Mistake
Where there is smoke there must
be fire, but not always. Smoke
poured up from the mounting room
in the basement of Morrill hall, and
by the time it reached the third
floor the students from the various
art classes had poured down to the
mounting room. They did not see
any fire but they did see plies of
boues and partially mounted skele
tons, which more than likely will
be a lifelong benefit to the anatomy
classes.
The first whiff of smoke sent
one of the members of the museum
staff to the phone, where she fran
tically called the fire department.
They answered the summons im
mediately and sent several trucks
over to Bessey hall with the evi
dent intent of saving all the poor
little amoebae and rotifer pets of
the various soology Instructors.
Several Instructors in Morrill
hall laughed (In pure childish glee,
not malice, of course) when they
saw the firemen enter Bessey hall.
They pulled In their necks, how
ever, when the firemen came out of
Bessey hall and dashed over to
Morrill hall, and they followed
these brave firemen down into the
basement of their own building.
Firemen, however, were of no
use In the basement, for you can
not put smoke out. All that was
necessary to save the day was for
the Janitors to open the doors and
windows and let the smoke out. One
of the Janitors who led in this res
cue work, confidentially stated that

NEBRASKAN WRITES
Ruth Shallcross States That
Social Life Kept Her
From Studies
Ruth A. Shallcross, '29, Bellevue.
Is the author of an article' on the
"Intercollegian," a magazine de
voted to the concerns of the Stu
dent Christian Movement. Miss
Shallcross' article Is one of a group
of student opinions on "Orienting
the Upperclassman."
Miss Shallcross stated that be
cause of the hurly-burly of social
life during her first three years at
the university she was unable to
spend the necessary time upon her
class work and placed her univer
sity curricula a second in import
ance. She found hsrself enmeshed
In a mad rush which ended only In
the desire to "get by."
Many Social Responsibilities.
"It became necessary for me to
relinquish social responsibilities
and live where I could have a few
minutes to myself, that I might or
ganlze and correlate my thoughts.
I was surprised to find that my in
dividuality had been somewhat
dormant and that at least I felt at
ease Just to be by myself at all
times."
She further states that these pe
riods of self-meditation gave her an
opporunlty to receive a bettor per
spective upon her university work
and her life. With this new feeling
of poise she was able to not only
receive better grades but was also
able to carry on extra-curricular ac
tivities more adrantageously.
"I seemed to have time to do lit
tle extra things such as making
friends with foreign students, and
taking an active interest in those
numerous students who are not in
a privileged group or are not liv
ing in one of the luxurious frater
nity houses, and in keeping up with
the current events in the publica
tions, all of which bas proved in
valuable to me."
