Varsity Quartet Sings And
McCleery Gives Talk
For Building.
Membera of the Innocents so
ciety staged a surprise serenade
on sorority row last night In the
interests of a student union build'
ing. Commencing at 10 o'clock
with the outlying houses in south
Lincoln, the serenaders proceeded
to the "north side" houses where
they played, sang and talked for
a union building.
Leo Beck s complete band was
mounted on a large truck and fur
nished the playing end. The var
sity quartet composed of Jack
Wheelock, Neil Dearinger, - Lloyd
Robinson, and Sidney Peppil was
along and took care of the sing
ing division. BUI T. McCleery,
president of the Innocents society,
talked.
Several popular numbers played
at each sorority house ana were
followed by McCleery who said
the serenade was being conducted
to build up interest in a union
building. A good, favorable re
sponse was given at all the houses
to his two main questions do you
watn a student union building,
and, do you know what a union
building is? The efforts of the
ralliers were well received at
every point visited.
According to the Innocents, the
serenade last night was kept sec
ret so that it would be more novel
and different from the ordinary
ones for factions, football games
and the like. The serenade, they
said, is part of their campaign for
securing greater interest in a stu
dent union building. Several class
and faction meetings have been
conducted by the Innocents over

Sigma Delta Chi's Stage
Meeting At Sigma Phi
Sigma House.
Originality in the conception
and development of ideas and per
sitsence in putting those Ideas
across are two of the essential
qualities of a successful Journalist,
according to Prof. R. P. Crawford,
who addressed members of Sigma
Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity,
at the Sigma Phi Sigma house last
night.
Professor Crawford pointed out
that young newspaper men or
magazine Journalists should guard
against attitudes of cynicism and
self satisfaction which are often
assumed by persons in this field.
"It Is easy to get into a rut
where your originality becomes
stilted and you lose interest in your
work when such a frame of mind
develops," he explained.
Good ideas, concluded Professor
Crawford .are worth more than
any other one thing, for a young
man with an idea is almost certain
to be successful, especially if he
has ambition and perseverance.
Trof. Gayle C. Walker, director
of the school of journalism and
faculty advisor to Sigma Delta Chi
was present at the gathering.
Bell Ex plain $ Why
Some Farm em Think
Magic Kills Weeds
Medieval magic is still alive tn
minds of farmers of the middle
west, according to an article by
Earl H. Bell, formerly or the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, now profes
sor of psychology at Nebraska, in
the recent issue of a scientific
magazine.
- Bell relates the incident of the
accidental success In killing a
weed, and bow it was regarded as
a newly discovered magic formula.
On Aug. 25, six years ago, a mid
western farmer and his son went
out to cut down a patch of Cana
dian thistle. To their amazement,
this particular patch of the notedly
persistent weed did not sprout
again, as Canada thistle almost in
variably does after being cut off.
The phenomenon was discussed
over the neighborhood. An old bit
of magic lore, that "everything has
its particular day on which it is
easy to kill," was recalled. The
Idea spread, and it was not long
until farmers throughout the mid
dlewest were hoeing down their
Canada thistles on Aug. 25. Where
the thistle failed to come up again,
it was taken as conclusive proof
of the efficacy of the fonnuia.
Where it did come up again be
lief In the magic formula was not
lessened. It was said that the ori
ginal discovered had not remem
bered correctly. Or it was said that
the twenty-fifth was the right date
but that there was a particular
hour, which they bad failed to find.

A reward of $25 for the arrest

was offered by The Daily Nebras

The administration last night re
ported that its investigation into
the editorship of the anonymous
scandal sheet, which appeared on
the campus Wednesday morning is
in progress, but that it would be
inadvisable to report what prog

Burnett Acts.
Following the publication's dis
tribution Wednesday, Chancellor
Burnett issued a signed statement
stating that the reappearance of
the anonymous publication called
for positive action on the part of
university officials and that the
university would undertake to dis
cover the authors of 'the publica
tion and when discovered would
turn them over to the proper au
thorities for prosecution.
Unlike the publication of like
name, three issues of which were
distributed last year, the sheet
made no direct charges but con

statements concerning certain fac

BUILDING IS INADEQUATE
Would Require Rebuilding,
Enlarging To Make Its
Use Possible.
Claiming that the University's
rapid growth during the past
twenty-five years makes the plan
of using the Temple building for
Student Union purposes decidedly
impractical, Ray Ramsay, alumni
secretary, staunchly upheld the
fact that construction of a larger
well-equipped Student Union build
ing is the outstanding need or tne
university at the present time, In
an interview yesterday.
"It is true that the original idea
of making the Temple building
into a home for all student activi
ties was practical enough when
the structure was erected over
quarter century ago," said Mr.
Ramsay, "but right now such
project would be entirely out of
the question. The Temple is not
adapted for a student union center
because the school has out-grown
the building during the past twen
ty-five years." '
Temple Too Small.
Mr. Ramsay emphasized the fact
that the Temple is far too small
and would have to be torn down
completely and rebuilt If it were
to be used for a Student Union
building. He added that the pres
ent structure has no large lounge
room or space where students
could get together ' during leisure
hours, and that to make this pos
sible would make necessary the
tearing down of almost all parti
tions and walls on either the first
or second floor.
He brought out that the cafe
teria in the basement of the build
ing serves its purpose, but that it

to accommodate is the position in
which the teachers college of the
university has found Itself. The
college now has an enrollment of
more than 1,600 students while the

the college is asking for an ap
propriation for new building space.
One of the most important neeas
of the college, according to Dean
W. E. Sealock, Id the acquisition
of the Bancroft grade school at
Fourteenth and XT streets for a
training school. The present train

R; 0. T. C. BAND PLAY
1,000 Convene At Coliseum
To Attend Annual
Program.
Playing before one of the largest
audiences in the history of the or
ganization, the R. O. T. C. band
presented its annual spring con
cert at the coliseum last night. Ap
proximately one thousand person?
listened to the cadet bandsmen
perform, under the direction of W.
T. Quick.
The entire program was enthu
siastically received, but the open
ing number, Fest Overture, and
the performance of the two .solo
ists, John Shildnock and John Mil
ligan, came in for especially hear
ty applause. The powerful and
moving overture by Lortzing W8S
an excellent vehicle for displaying
the technique of the well drilled
woodwind section, and the band in
terpreted the German composer's
work with finesse which would do
credit to any professional group of
musicians.
Mr. Shildneck, trumpet soloiht,
played Columbia Tolka. choosing
as his pneore The Rosary, while
Mr. Milligan, baritone, sang When
Irish Eyes are smiling and the well
known ballad by Edward Walt,
Lassie O'Mine. Both soloists were
accompanied by the entire band.
That Victor Herbert is still dear
to the hearts of music lovers was
evidenced by the reception given
to a group of selections from The
Red Mill, the perennial operetta
which seems to have never lost any
of its popularity with the passing
years. Amilcarc Ponchielli's Dance
of the Hours proved to be another
highlight of the program.

maintain it if it were bought.
Asks for Addition.
The college is asking for an ad
dition to the present teachers col
lege building. This addition would
be in the form of a wing built on
the south side of the building.
Dean Sealock said that the need
for space is very pressing because
of the large number of students
who are taking the work In the
small amount of space. With threo
times more students than they are
comfortably equipped to handle
Mr. Sealock explained that it is
almost impossible to give the stu
dents the proper training. "
Another need of the college is
for more instructors and funds to
raise the salaries of outstanding
professors. The classes ' are now
very much overcrowded and tba
instructors cannot give individual
attention to the students. Many of
Nebraska's outstanding professors
leave and go to other colleges be
cause of higher salary offers and
if more money could be had to
raise these salaries In accordance
with other schools thee profes
sors could be kept here.
