Former Head of Ohio Uni
Says Young People
Are Sensible.
"There's nothing wrong with
the present day youth," Dr. Wil
liam Oxley Thompson, president
emeritus of Ohio State university,
told a Lincoln Star reporter Sat
urday. Dr. Thompson is to deliver a se
ries of daily lectures at the First
Presbyterian church this week and
an address before the university
convocation Thursday morning.
"Pleasant comradeship" is the
way be describes the freedom of
modem youth. "I think young peo
ple row are pretty sensible. People
wori'T about how various prob
lems, including liquor, will affect
them, but I am pretty sure that
they will take a sane attitude,"
Dr. Thompson declared.
Although Dr. Thompson is seventy-five
years old. he is still
active in church and civic affairs.
Not only in his judgment of mod
ern youth, but of international re
lations, prohibition and other sub
jects, he bespoke the tolerance
and love of mankind of a man who
has lived well and, looking back,
is able to appreciate the essentials
of life.
JOURNALISTS ADOPT
AIL SHORT WORDS
Washington State Teacher
Says Headlines Arc
Scantily Clad.
Newspaper headlines will wear
short dresses in spite of the fash
ion, according to Elmer F. Eeth,
Washington State college instruc
tor in journalism, who maintains
that brevity is the soul of the
newspaper.
"If there is anything new in
words the headline writer adopts
it but it must be brief." declares
the state college man. "No matter
what style dictators say, the jour
nalist will clothe his work in
scanty dresses. The newspaper
man is forever trying to simplify
short, active, descriptive, sugges
tive words.
Sometimes be invents new ones,
sometimes he makes combinations,
and sometimes he chops an old
word into pieces. He borrows short
words from political, scientific or
sports cant. He lifts monosyllables
from foreign languages. But all
the while he is attempting desper
ately to keep in circulation pictur
esque literary words that are short
and which lend color and flavor."
Some of the best known pro
ducts of newspaper jargon, accord
ing to Mr. Beth, are "probe,"
"loot," "hit-run," "defy," "boOEe."
"flop," "thug." "flag" and "cues."
expressions which surely carry out
the characteristic purposes of
brevity and forcefulness.

CLASS CHUN
DECIDE 10 ELECT
MR OFFICERS
Three of Four Presidents
Chosen Announce They
Will Call Meets.
COMSTOCK IS UNDECIDED
Officials Chosen at Mass
Meeting of Class; Few
Usually Attend.
Three of the four class presi
dents elected last week announced
yesterday that they would call
roeetiogs of their classes to elect
minor class officers. The other
one. William Comstock. president
of the sophomore class, said he had
not decided yet.
Determination of these rla.vs
presidents to have minor officers
chosen is In contradiction to a
recommendation passed by the
student council, rejected by the
faculty committee on student or
ganisations and then repassed by
the student council.
The faculty committee in veto
ing the proposal by the student
council, gave no particular objec
tion to doing away w ith the offices
but saw no reason for abolishing
them. In 1he words of Dean
Thompson, "We simply left the
matter up to the students."
John Brown, newly elected senior
class president, told a Nebraskan
reporter that he expected to call a
meeting of his class some time
next week. He was unable to set
a definite date.
Bob Kelly of the junior class,
feels that Inasmuch as these minor
offices are apparently sanctioned
by the faculty, they might as well
be elected. Their duties, he said,
are at least as heavy as those of
the president. Bill Comstock and
Arthur Pinkerton, prexies of the
sophomore and freshman classes,
respectively, were of the same
opinion, according to statements
made yesterday.
In the past, these minor class of
ficers have been elected at mass
meetings of the class. The presi
dent has had the prerogative to
designate the time and place of the
meeting. Mere handfuls of stu
dents have attended these meet
ings in the last few years.
GIRL RESERVE WORK
I
Leadership Trainig Course
Will Be Directed by
Violet Olson.
Annual leadership training
course for girl reserve work will

extra curricular activity, and for
underclasswomen who would like
to have an opportunity next year
to sponsor one of the Girl Reserve
clubs organized in Lincoln grade
and junior high schools.
Attention is called to the change
of meeting place, as it will be im
possible to schedule Ellen Smith
hall for the scries of eight meet
ings which comprise the course.
The group will meet in the base
ment of the University Episcopal
church on Thirteenth and R streets
at 5 o'clock each Thursday.
Head of Fine Arts School
Will Discuss Plays of
Wagner.
A combined radio-correspondence
course on the musical
dramas of Richard Wagner will be
given by Prof, Paul H. Grummann
director" of the school of fine arts,
on the University of Nebraska
radio program. Preparatory to
the course will be a scries of radio
talks on northern mythology.
Ia four addresses he will sketch
the main outlines of the northern
myths in order to prepare his
hearers for a study of the Ring
series of Wagner. Immediately
after the discussion of the myths,
analysis will be made of Wagner's
deviations from the sources, and
the reasons for these. Four lec
tures will be devoted to the Ring
series, and after that the other
plays of Wagner will be discussed
to show listeners their chronolo
gical order.
The purpose of the series is to
acquaint listeners with the general
trend of Wagner's work; to give
an idea of the significance of his
plots; and to acquaint the listener
witn tne hibtorical background of
each play.

Karcl Capck's Play 'R.U.R.'
Portraying Future Life
Is to Be Given.
SHOWS MECHANICAL MEN
BY MOSELLE KLEEMAN.
Nebraskans w ill catch a glimpse
of future life on this planet when
they attend the presentation of
Karel Capck's plH.v. R. U. R.."
which will be given by the Uni
versity Players from Feb. 28 to
March 6.
The play is a symbolic fan
tasy in whiJh the author tiics to
point out that man can reach such
a state of perfection in his scien
tific, commercial, psychological
developments that he will tend to
bring about bis own destruction.
Mr. Capck. however, doesn't be
lieve that this will happen for he
is an advocate of the inherent di
vinity of man which he thinks is
a perpetual safeguard that flour
ishes and blots out despair and
establishes hope.
The action of the rIa' deals
with robots, mechanical men. who
are produced according to a serret
formula on a mythical island
somewhere on the universe in the
far distant future. These men be
come so perfect that they kill off
all the real men except one. The
difficulty arises when the robots
cannot find the formula by which
they are made and therefore are
threatened with extinction as soon
as their bodies wear out.
The three acts and epilogue of
the play resolve themselves into a
hair raising melodrama with as
much power to raise the human
gooseflesh as "The Bat" or any
modern day mystery thriller. The
entire effect is bizarre and
exotic.
Evening perfoi rcances start ex
actly at 7:30 p. m.; Saturday mat
inee at 2:30 p. m. Reservations
may be made with Ross P. Curtice
company for single performances.

Czech Traveler Finds Nebraska the

"You Americans, you mid-westerners,

This is the decision of Loudy
Knezck. world wanderer, and now
student, at Nebraska State Teach

is in Lincoln temporarily, in he
contempulates attending the Uni
versity next fall.
"I went to Nebraska State
Teachers college at Kearney dur

said. " This is the country for ed
ucation, for progress. I want an
education now, the progress, as
far as fortune is concerned, must
come later. Here in Nebraska the
trail ends; here I can settle."
Sets Out at Nineteen.
Knezek. having finished his
high school work in Moravia, set

STUDENTS MOST
SOLVE ALL DAY
RALLY QUESTION
Faculty Suggests That Pep
Demonstration Problem
Rest With Pupils.
SEEK POPULAR OPINION
Committee Will Be Picked
By Student Council to
Gather Views.
BY POLITICUS.
Whether University of Nebraska
students are to bold all day raUic
before football games next fall is
to be left to the students them
selves to decide. Such was the
preliminary a.-tioo taken by the
hpecial faculty committee on
tallies at its initial session Monday
noon.
The wi!l of the students on the
matter is to be guaged by the re
commendations of a committee
Irom the student council, which
group the faculty has requested co
operation in effecting a definite
program for rallies. The council
has been asked to select this com
mittee at its next meeting. Wed
nesday. Match 0.
Whatever the students say tbey
want will govern to a larje extent
the final action of the faculty com
mittee." declares Dr. C. H. Old
father, chairman of the committee.
"If the students decide to have
rallies during as well as after
class hours, then a definite pro
gram as to the manner in which
these rallies shall be conducted will
be drawn up."
Started Last December.
The genesis of the whole pro
ceedings was a university senate
meeting, held In the middle of De
cember, when two plans for the
future management of rallies were
discussed. Neither proposal, one
from the student council and the
other from a faculty committee
appointed shortly before the sen
ate meeting, met with the ap
proval of the faculty.
As a result a committee was ap
pointed by Chancellor E. A. Bur
nett to undertake the task of set
tling the matter definitely. The
meeting Monday was the first to
be held by the "committee and the
general feeling among committee
members at that time was that Us
regulations should only pertain tn
those rallies which are conducted
during class hours from S a. m.
to 5 p. m.
"We have no special concern
over pep demonstrations that aie
held in the evenings or early morn
ings." says Dr. Oldfather. "What
we are striving to do is to get a
definite understanding between
faculty and students as to what is
desired in the way of rallies dur
ing the day."
Final Action Postponed.
Another meeting of the faculty
group will be called shortly alter
the student council's committee is
appointed, according to the chair
man. Final action on the question,
however, may not be taken until
later on in the semester, in order
that the students may have time to
express themselves.
Other members of the faculty
committee, besides Dr. Oldfather
are: Dr. W. C. Erenke, Prof. T.
T. Bullock. Dr. J. P. Senning. and
Coach Dana X. Bible. Dr. T. J.
Thompson, dean of student affairs,
and Ralph Raikes. president of the
student council, are ex-officio
members.
