Quilt and Flower Shows.
An exhibition of rare and fancv
quilts has been added this year.
Prizes will be given ior we oiacsi
and for the most beautiful auilts.
White intimated. A flower show
is another new attraction of the
coming fair.
p.rsidea these nish snots. Man

such attractions as side shows, a
tvV show, movies, two dances, a
tea room, a livestock parade, and
a pet stock and rabbit show.
Backed by the faculty and sup

the college fair is meant to de

Smith Commends Undertaking.
Farmers Fair puts life, activity
and interest in school work,"
Chauncey Smith expounded in a
recent talk. Smith is a member of
the faculty in the agricultural en
gineering department.
With bcadliners such as the pa
rade, pageant, polo game and ex
hibits, these "farm minded" stu
dents plan, manage and promote
their own fair. Many other fea
tures, according to announcements,
provide a full program. Every
thing is of student talent.
"I think it is the best kind of
training for leadership." George
Jackson, secretary of the Nebraska
state fair, asserted. "It teaches
students the value of co-operc-tion."

Became Instructor.
Mr. Jenks immediately became
active with the Players and his
first appearence was In "Seven
Keys of Baldpate." He continued
to take more and more dramatic
work and less and less literary
work. Finding that bis dramatic
work interfered with his outside
work, Mr. Jenks gave up the Ut
ter and became an instructor in
the dramatic department.
"It was as an instructor that 1
really learned tbe art of drama,"
maintained Mr. Jenks. 'That's
where I really learned to act"
Before coming to Nebraska Mr.
Jenks had no experience along
dramatic lines although he admits
that as a child he did take part
in one or two plays.
"While I was still at tbe uni
versity. Miss Howell and I used
to plan about tbe time wben we
would put on "Hamlet" and we
even selected those whom we
should have in the cast. Of that

STATE DEBATE TITLE
Defeats Auburn in Final
Round on Question of
Jury System.
WINNERS GIVEN TROPHY
Jackson high school won the
slate high school debating tourna
ment over Auburn Saturday morn
ing and the trophy offered by the
Nebraska Bar association when
they proved that the present jury
system and criminal trials in the
United States should be abolished.
Tbe decision was unanimous for
the winners.
Jackson and Auburn went into
the final round of the tourney by
virtue of their defeats over Beat
rice and Hastings, respectively, in
the semifinals Friday night. The
Jackson team claimed the jury .sys
tem is undesirable, inefficient and
declared that there was a more de
sirable means of securing justice
in criminal prosecutions, in prc
tenting their reasons for abolition
of jury and criminal trials.
Suggests Remedy.
They proposed in place of the
present .system, a jury of three or
five judges, nominated by the su
preme court or elected by the peo
ple and subject to recall. They
showed, during the course ot their
argument, that sixty-seven profes
sions are automatically excused
from Jury service. This, they
claimed, has lowered the quality of
Jurors.
Because of corrupt judges and
legislatures the jury is an absolute
necessity, declared the Auburn de
baters. They showed that the jury
is called upon to decide upon fact
alone and insisted that the jury is
an essential part of democracy and
basically sound and efficient.
Mrs. M. D. Thompson coached
the Jackson team which was made
up of Eugene Pester, Myron Bickel
and Woodrow Magec. The Auburn
team was composed of Beth Lang
ford. Ruth Penney and Marshall
Howe.
Richardson Presents Trophy.
Prof. Enid Miller of Nebraska
Wesleyan, C. L. Clark, attorney,
and Prof. J. O. Rankin. University
of Nebraska, were judges for the
final debate. Ths trophy was pre
sented by Arthur W. Richardson
of tbe Nebraska Bar association,
who also presided over the debate.

Campus Themv Song
Of Laxt Few Days
'Singing in the liaiii'
The theme song beard on tbe
campus tbe last few days seems to
be "Singing in the Rain" as the
bedraggled students wend their
weary way from one class to an
other, vainly attempting to dodge
all the raindrops possible. The
only redeeming feature tbe incle
ment weather offers Is the oppor
tunity for tbe students to display
new and startling innovations in
slickers bedecked with scenic ef
fects that would cause Jacob of
Biblical fame to turn green with
envy and sell bis lamed cloak to
some somatic buyer of old clothes.
State Meteorologist Thomas A.
Blair refuses to allow the suffer
ing public a glimmer of hope for
the next few days with cloudy
weather and possible rain rep"rted
for to?ay and Monday. Small
hopes are held for a successful Ivy
day if the gentle pattering of rain
does not cease within a reasonable
length of time.

APPLAUDS FINAL
IE1
McCleerys Presentation of
Clever Plot Appreciated
By Last Night Crowd.
CHILES, EASTON STAR
Red Young. 'Flying' Athlete
Actor, Handles Lead in
Fine Style.
Playing to an audience which
was filled with enthusiasm and
which responded with hearty ap
plause or laughter, the cast of
i "Sob Sister" three act musical
comedy presented the final show
ing of a three night run In the
Temple last night.
"Sob Sister" was written by Bill
McCleery. Joyce Ayres. George
Cook and Warren Chiles, and was
given under the sponsorship of the
University of Nebraska Kosmet
Klub. Manuscript was by Mc
Cleery. who also wrote "Don't Be
Silly" given by the club last year,
and music was by Ay res, Cook and
Chiles, with several of the lyrics
by McCleery.
Last night's audience was both
large and appreciative and proved
its appreciation by its response.
McCleery's witty handling of an
unusual plot seemed to strike Lome
and the result was almost con
tinuous laughter and applause
from the opening curtain till the
orchestra sounded the closing
notes.
Doris Powell, '30. Lincoln, in the
leading female part of Mary Smith,
was eNcellent. Her solo numbers
were well received and her acting
is claimed to be a.s good as that of
a professional. Bob Y'oung, '31,
Norfolk, well known as a Huskcr
halfback, was good in his role of
Bob, convict in San Menquin peni
tentiary. The scream of the show, rather
tbe two screams, were Warren
Chiles, '30, San Diego, as Bentiie,
another convict, and Harlan Eas
ton, '31, Havclock. as a guard in
the prison. Both Chiles and Eas
ton played their parts in true com
edy style and brought forth one
laugh after another from the audi
ence. Chiles' witty remarks and
Kaaton's characterization of a
sleepy, not overly bright guard,
brought down the house.
Doris Hosman. '30, Omaha, as
Misa Caroline Shedd. sob sister,
did a nice bit of characterization
and succeeded in giving a good
imperfonation of the real sob sister
tvpe. Walter Yogt, '31, Aurora, as
Virgil Shedd, ber brother and
Bon's rival in love with Mary, did
a fine piece of work which is de
serving of commendation. OtVrs
of the principal ch raclers who
all were well fitted ior their parts
and carried them thru nicely were
Eleanor Foley. CO, Gothenburg, as
Mrs. Smith, Mary's mother; Stan
Icy Day, '31, Oshkosh, as the in
spector"; Bernarr Wilson, '30,
Omaha, as the warden; Lowell
Davis, '31, Kearney, as assistant
to the inspector; and the author,
himself, as Lefty, an escaping con
vict. The entire cast was well selected
and showed the effects of eight
long weeks of rehearsal and stren
