(Special to Dally Nebraskan)
CHEYENNE, Wy. Possibility
that John "Choppy' Rhodea might
be named head roach at the Uni
versity of Wyoming received
added impetus Saturday when It
waa announced by university of
flclala that Rhodea will again con
fer with tbt executive committee
Sunday.
Action on the application of the
former Cornhusker etar waa post
poned at Laramie Saturday due
to the absence of J. A. Mliott of
Wheatland, a member of the exec
utive committee. Elliott was ex
pected to arrive In Laramie Sat
urday evening for conference Sun
day. University officials, declining to
verify the rumor Saturday that
Rhodes had been - named coach,
said that announcement of the
outcome of the conference Sunday
will be made Monday afternoon.
It was understod in Cheyenne
Saturday that Rhodes Is being
strongly considered for the po
sition left vacant by the resigna
tion of George W.. McLaren, and
Rhodes himself was optimistic
about the job Saturday.
Favorable decision of the exec
utive committee on the applica
tion of Rhodes will have to be ap
proved by the board of trustees
in March, but It Is believed that
the action of the board will be a
mere formality if the application
is accepted.
CHEYENNE, V y o It was
generally believed in Cheyenne
today that John "Choppy" Rhodes,
freshman coach at the University
of Nebraska, had the inside track
for the position of head coach
at the University of Wyoming,
made vacant recently by the res
ignation of George W. McLaren.
Both A. G. Crane, president of
the university, and Rhodes de
clined to make positive state
ments, the former Cornhusker
star athlete saying that any an
nouncement must of necessity
come from Dr. Crane, and the

Only a Week.
University of Nebraska students

portunity to purchase opera tick
ets at the . reduced rates. While it
is more than one month before the
Chicago Civic Opera company will

charge of the local ticket sale,
estimates, the student response is
greater than either of the past two
years and that the campus will be
represented when the artists ap
pear here Thursday, March 20.
The Chicago organization of
250 people opened its tour in Bos
ton last week, starting a series of
sixteen performances at the Bos
ton Opera bouse. Press notices re
ceived by Mr. Selleck indicate a
splendid reception given the Chi
cago company by Boston music
lovers, twelve of the performances
being sold out before the operatic
caravan reached the city.
Three artists, who will appear
at the coliseum next month, were
members of the cast which pre
sented "Die Waulkere" the open
ing night in Boston. Maria
Olszewska, who will sing "Car
men" here, appeared as "Fricka,"
Alice d'Harmony and Ada Paggi,
also in the "Carmen" cast here,
sang the roles of "Ortlinde" and
"Grimgerde" in the Boston pre
sentation of the Wagner opera.
The travel chart of the Chicago
Civic Opera s two month's tour in
dicates "Carmen," the opera to be
presented in Lincoln next March,
is one of the roost popular with
music-lovers on the tour.
The Bizet work will be pre
sented six times. Otber cities to
bear the Chicago company in the
popular opera are Boston. Mass.;

AT
LUTHERN MEETING
Says Latin America Opposed
To Idea of 'America
For Americans.'
NATIONS ARE DIFFERENT
That the people of the Latin
American states are utterly op
posed to the idea of "America
for the Americans" was made
plain by James Cuneo. instructor
in Romance languages In the uni
versity at the meeting cf the
Lutheran club Friday night, Feb.
7. His subject was "The Latin
American State."
He made clear the essential
unity of the various nations
classed as Latin America, and
pointed out their distinctions from
the Anglo-Saxon influence in
North America. "As in North
America the people have devel
oped a neo-Nordic civilization, so
in our countries we hope to de
velop .a neo-Latin vivilisaUon.'"
declared Mr. Cuneo. "We mean
to draw the best there is from
all of the Latin European nations
and develop it to the fullest con
tribution to our culture."
Do Not Copy Nordics.
The extraction of those people
is largely from Italy. France and
Spain. Research is constantly
being made into the art and phil
osophy of these nations to find
their unique contributions. The
speaker declared emphatically
that the Intention was not to copy
the Nordic state, 'though we may
well learn from the Nordics the
lesson of order and efficiency in
our work." The chief develop
ment is to be uniquely Latin,
however.
Religion is different; the Cath
olic religion is dominant, and will
continue so, thinks Mr. Cuneo, be
