Misa Marjorie Shanafelt, curator

FOUND DEAD IN CAR
Former Student Commits
Suicide With Reason
For Act Unknown.
Robert Dctweller, twenty-two. of
Omaha, and a former University of
Nebraska student, was found dead
In his automobile outside the city
limits of that city early Sunday
morning. He was found dressed
In formal attire, slumped over the
wheel of his car, the motor of
which was still running, with a .82
calibre revolver clutched in his
right hard.
After an investigation authori
ties said tbey believed he had com
mitted suicide. The officers ques
tioned Miss Martha Peterson,
twenty-four, of Council Bluffs, who
bad been with Detweller Saturday
evening. She declared that he had
indicated in no way to her that he
had meant to commit suicide nor
bad be acted any way except as
usual during the evening.

Stars Do Dedicating.
Movie stars are much In de
mand for dedications in California.
Whenever some company wants a
plane dedicated or something of a
similar nature the movie crowd is
always called upon to do it. For
example, Mr. Horacek was present
when Maty Plckford christened
the first T. A . T. airplane In Oren
vllle, by breaking a bottle of cham
pagne on the propollor.
Hollywood first nights are very'
Interesting. Usually when a pic
ture is being shown for the first
time at a Hollywood or Los An
geles theater, the entire caat of
tbe picture Is on hand. At what
are termed "premiers" or opening
nights of big pictures, the whole
movie colony is usually present.
On these occasions everyone comes
in formal dress and tickets are ex
pensive. Private home parties are a big
feature In tbe Uvea of tbe mem
bers of the movie colony. Most of
the stars hive palatial homes In
Beverly Hills, tbe roost beautiful
of which are Douglas Fairbanks',
Harold Lloyd's and Tom Mix's. Tn
the summer, magnificent garden
parties are given in these homes.
regard to Its action waa given by
Chairman H. K. Bradford, bead of
the vocational education depart
ment. It read:
"By motion, the board has
aboliahed the Awgwan aa a
publication of the university
since it serves no useful pur-
Rose in the university. The
lovember number which oc
casioned the tfitDusston and
discontinuance of the publica
tion waa but the culmination
of a growing tendency In the
Awgwan. The board wishes
to lay no personal blame on
the staff of the magazine. Wa
have expressed no grievances
and no action la being taken
against either the editor or
the remainder of the etaff."
Tbe Awgwan waa under the)
sponsorship of Sigma Delta, Chi,
national profeslonal Journalist in
'raternity. Gene S. Robb, presi
dent of the fraternity, stated last
night that a resolution of censor
against the November issue waa
passed by Sigma Delta Chi the
day it appeared on tne campus.
Only Circulation Aid.
"Sigma Delta, Chi sponsorship
baa been very Inactive," be ta.ted.
"The only thing we have dona thla
year in the lorm of aid for the
magazine has been to assist In its
circulation. Tbe Awgwan baa
been under the student publication
board and Sigma Delta Chi haa
had nothing to say about its or
ganization or policy."
A portion oi tne letter in wnira
responsibility waa disclaimed fol
lows:
"To the Student Publication
Board of the University of
Nebraska: By this resolution,
Sigma Delta Chi, national
professional Journalistic fra
ternity, Nebraska chapter, re
pudiates its apparent official
ssnction of the publication of
the November Issue of The
Awgwan, which by reason of
its content of material far be
low the standards and ethical
principles of our fraternity
and profession, we regard as
obscene, unwholesome and not
fit to merit our sponsorship
"Be It further resolved thst
copies of this resolution be
sent to H. E. Bradford, chair
man of the student publica
tion board; T. J. Thompson,
dean of student affairs; and
Raymond Murray, editor of
The Awgwan."
The resolution was passed at a
special executive meeting of Sigma
Ilta Chi noay arternoon, jov.

on sale.
Murray's Appeal Falls,
Raymond D. Murray, 'Jl, Los
Angeles. Cal., edftor of tbe mai
rlne, and Robb were both called
Into consultation by the board.
Murray wanted the magazine to
be continued as a short story pub
lication with short quips and fea
tures but his request was not
granted.
Mr. Bradford, in commenting
upon the board's decision, stated
that there was no field for a hu
mor magazine at the University of
Nebraska. In his opinion no col
lege humor magazine can come up
to the standards of real humor.
He stated that it ta difficult for
students to put out a humorous
publication without Injecting ob
jectionable matter Into it.
