Presentation of First Play Hepreecnted Successful
End of Dream to Dramatic Head; Purpose to
Keep Legitimate Drama Alive Here.
By ART WOLF,
"When the University Players open Monday night at the
Temple theater with Oscar Wildes play, "The Importance of
Being Earnest," it will be the third play of the sixteenth suc
cessful season of the organization.
Slightly over fifteen years ago, Ihe University Players as
an organized group, was started by Miss II. Alice Howell, head
of the dramatics aepanmeni oi mevr
University of Nebraska. Tnat or
ganization was one of the first in
the field in the United States and
has since become one of the moHt
successful.
Culmination of Dream.
Miss Howell had spent much ef
fort previous to the beginning of
the group and the presentation of
the first play represented to her
the culmination of a long dream.
Her purpose in working toward
such an organization was to keep
the legitimate drama alive in Lin
coln and 'or university students.
The first play by the group was
p resected on Nov. 3, 1915. That

Dancing Group Will Present
'The Juggler of Notre
Dame' Tuesday.
Orchesis will present for its
third annual Christmas program
"The Juggler of Notre Dame"
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in
Grant Memorial hall. It has been
the custom for three years for
Orchesis to present a Christmas
program preceeding the annual
"Messiah" which is given by the
University Chorus.
Admission to the program in
former years has been by invita
tion only. This year an invitation
is being extended to students and
the general public, and anyone in
terested is urged to attend.
A French Story.
The story of the little juggler
of Notre Dame is adapted from a
story by the same name which
was written by Anatole France,
the eminent French writer.
The program opens with a num
ber written and arranged by Wil
bur Chenoweth entitled "The Caril
lon at Christmas" which has Just
been published. The song is sung
by the First Congregaiton church
choir. The scene of the story is
laid in the square outside the ca
thedral of Notre Dame where all
of the towns folk have gathered to
share the Christmas spirit as each
lays his own gift at the feet of the
statue of the Virgin. The juggler.
about whom the plot revolves, is
entertaining the people.
King Brings Gift.
The crowd is watching eagerly
as the king comes with his gift to
the great cathedral. After all of
the eifts have been presented a
small figure draws near the Holy
One. His only gift is juggling.
Timidly he offers his tricks and in
one thoughtless moment he offers
his cap to the Virgin. This is a
frightful sacrilege for which the
monks will denounce him forever,
then slowly the Virgin moves and
lays her hand upon his head; he
has given his all for her spirit.

Witty Dialogue
Features Play
For Next Week
By Roseline Pizer.
"My nephew, you seem to be
displaying signs of trivality," says
Auntie.
"On the contrary, I now realize,
for the frist time in my life the
vital importance of being "Earn
est'," says her nephew, displaying
his wit with- the lowly pun. but
"The Importance of Being Earn
est" is the name of the University
Players production which opens
Monday night and John Worthing,
a very likable country gentleman,
had to let you in on the theme of
this entertaining play.
Women will like it because of ail
the attention paid the fair sex.
Men will like it because of the de
lightful remarks addressed to the
fair sex. "Wcmen spoil every ro
mance by trying to make it last
forever," and "all girls call each
other sister, but only after they
have called each a lot of other
things first," should satisfy any
woman-hater, even if be is in the
last stages of the malady.
Proposals, etc.
Along with the compliments to
the ladies, marriage is given a
passing glance, or perhaps pro
posals should be mentioned first,
they come first, as a rule. Some
well experienced person says.
There is nothing romantic about
a definite proposal, one might be
accepted," which is true, true
enough. And it is only fair to con
clude that this pessimistic creature
also accounts for the line stating
that "The one charm of marriage
is that it makes a life of decep
tion absolutely necessary for both
parties."
Evidently they had censored
books that everyone read thirty
five years ago because some one
makes the scholarly remark that
"More than half of modern cul
ture depends on what one shouldn't
read.". Of course, you can take it
any way you like.
"The Importance of Being Earn
est" will be presented Monday,
Dec. 15, at 7:30 p. m. in the Tem
ple theatre, and will continue thru
the week.

Cousins Likes
New Chicago U
Degree System
"Be the best possible, students,"
was Dr. James H. Cousins' mes-
sage to Nebiaskans in a recent
interview, "always bearing in mind
that study is not mreeiy ine acu
mulation of information, but
means turning- it into actual prac
tice in individual and group lift."
Speaking of the University oi
Chicago's new educational plan
whereby degrees will be awarded
on examination and without re
gard for the length of time the
student has spent m college, lit.
Cousins praised the venture as "A
very long step toward a real ed
ucation, meaning the full develop
ment of all the intellectual, emo
tional, and physical capacities of
the student and the setting of the
developed student into a vital re
lationship with his environment
'The president or Cornell Uni
versity lately told me that his
school has for the past year an
ticipated the movement now be
coming nationwide for the estab
lishment of a complete cultural
education so as to offset the hu
man disadvantages which have
arisen out of specialized technical
education.
The Irish poet argued that stu
dents should seek the expression
of their inner selves through art
always avoiding "the danger of
art's becoming systematized."
Kerernng to educational condi
tions in India, Dr. Cousins said
Universities under government
control are more or less bad copies
of western institutions. But there
are some unofficial movements
toward educational reform These
will become effective in the new
era of educational reconstruction
which will follow the present pass
ing phase of political readjust
ment" LeKosfiignol Addresses

HICKS SPEAKS AT
Dean Proposes AH College
Work Be Same for First
Two Years.
An "all-college" junior college
was the proposal presented by
Dean John D. Hicks in his talk be
fore Phi Sigma, professional bio
logical society, Thursday evening
at the University club. The ad
dress followed initiation cere
monies. Under his plan all the colleges
of the university would be com
bined under one head. The fresh
man and sophomore work would
be the same for all courses.
Dean Hicks presented several
plans recently advanced by such
schools as Chicago university and
University of Michigan. He ex
plained that the present tendency
is to base the qualincctions lor
graduation on tbe efficiency of the
student rather than on a required
number of hours. In this manner
a student might graduate within
four years or within the time or
study needed to enable him to pasa
certain formulated tests.
The new members of the society
are: Faculty, W. R. Carter, Omer
Sperry; graduate students, Harold
Biswell, Edith Curry, riaroio u.
Jones, T. L. Richardson, Cornelia
Weaver, W. D. Webster; under
graduate students, Violet Chan,
