However, as the sizes of Ue
tribes varied greatly, the only way
to Judge the extent to which tne
Indian has decimated Is to compare
the former estimated number of
one million and a quarter red men
existing when the white man first
became acquainted with them, to
the estimate made a few years ago
which placed the number now ex
isting at less than half a million, a
reduction of more than half In
some three hundred year.

Attendance the first three nights
hat been almost record-breaking.
According to Miss H. Alice How

"Emperor Jones" has enjoyed the
greatest success during its presen
tation by the University Player
and deplete a different type of play
than ordinarily seen by Lincoln
audiences.
Lerner His Lead
In the characterization of Eu

Zolley Lerner is cast in the leading
role, that of Brutus Jones, tne es

eran, holds the other principal role.

noteworthy part in "Emperor

anced cast. Sleeta Whlbby, un
dent in the School of Fine Art,
takes one of the leading negro
characterization. Several other ne
groes are placed In character roles
throughout the eight scene of the
production.
The Jungle scenes for the play
hare been designed by Dwight
Klrsch. professor in the School of
Fine Art, and were built by mem
bers of the class in stage design
ing. Plot Holds Interest
The plot of the show is built
around the attempts of Brutus
Jones, who escaped to a southern
native Isle, to set himself up as
emperor. His actions become al
most maniacal, while the play
moves forward at a rapid rate. As
there are no love scenes through
out the production, the character
ization of Brutus Jones is easily
deemed tne outstanding perform
ance of the play.

University Officials Explain
Advisability f Single
Plant on Campus
Declaring that tie capltol com
mission and the board of re.ents
are unanimously In favor of tha
plan for a Joint heating plant for
the statu capitol and the Univer
sity, Chancellor Burnett spoke be
fore the house finance ways and
means committee In favor of H. R.
534. This bill, by Hansen, provides
for the erection of a $525,000 heat
ing plant, to serve both institu
tions. R. U Cochran, secretary of the
state department of public works,
appeared at the same time and
also spoke in favor of the bill.
Speaking for the capltol commis
sion, he explained the saving that
would be effected by the plant.
The only available ground for a
new plant for the state house is
nine blocks away. Only eight
blocks of conduit would be required
to connect the capitol with the
University plant, and a new build
ing could be constructed on land
already owned by the University,
be said. According to Mr. Coch
ran's statement, the Joint plant
would result in a saving of 1125 -000.
with an additional saving of
several thousand dollars each year
He eonnnnea
statement that anew
plant must be built for the capltol
this year.

Must Purchase Power
The present generator is not
large enough for both campuses,
according to Mr. Seaton's state
ment, and some power ls pur
chased. This condition would be
remedied by a new plant, with a
resultant saving to the University.
The total cost he placed at $525.-;
000, after salvaging some equip-1
ment from the old plant. The Unl-;
versity's share of the cost, to be ;
raised by appropriation, would be ;
60 percent, or 1315,000. The addi
tional f 210.000, which would in-c'-ide
the cost of a conduit, would
be taken out of the capltol levy.
Mr. Hansen has proposed two
amendments to his bill. The first
sets the university's share of the
cost at 60 percent of the total, 'and
the second places the expenditure

They held a 12 to 2 lead at the
end of the first quarter. SU Paul

the count to 19 to 12 at the half.
Again the Geneva quint started

21 to 12. The Saints then took
