BIRD
HAND
TO
Rehearsals of Drinkwater
Play Begun by Miss
Alice Howell.
IS IMAGINATIVE COMEDY
Concerned With Affair of
Innkeeper's Daughter
And Nobleman.
"Bird In Hand," an imaginative
comedy by the renowned Engllsn
playwright, John Drinkwater, has
been selected by the University
Players as their final production
for the present session, Having en
joyed the most successful years
run in the organization's history,
the Players are concentrating their
eforts on this final comedy presen
tation.
Unlike other Drinkwater produc
tions, "Bird an nana is a ngra
comedy, brimming with humorous
situations and calling for a cast of
interesting, entertaining charac
ters. Drinkwater achieved fame in
the dramatic arena through his in
tense biographical plays, "Abra
ham Lincoln," "Oliver Cromwell"
and "Robert E. Lee."
It Modern Comedy
' Bird In Hand" is considered one
of the outstanding modern come
dies, dealing with the struggle of
an English inn-keeper to prevent
his daughter from having a ro
mance with the son of a wealthy
English lord. Its plot centers
around the love affair of Joan, the
inn-keeper's daughter, and Gerald,
the boy who takes care of the inn
keeper's daughter when the inn
keeper tries to keep her in.
The first act in this fast-moving
satire takes place in the bar-parlor
of the "Bird In Hand" inn. Thomas
Greenleaf , proprietor, is expound
ing his views of the younger gen
eration in general and his charm
ing daughter in particular. He ob
jects strenuously to Joan's frequent
auto rides with Gerald, because he
considers their stations in life too
remote to allow such casual con
tacts. If his grandmother consid
ered herself too proud to go riding
in a nobleman's gig, hi.. modern
daughter should be above Rolls
Royce rides with one above nor
simple life.
Mrs. Greenleaf defends her
flaughter. But the daughter needs
little defense, for when the beep
beep of a Rolls Royce is heard, she
makes a run for her gentleman
friend.
Make Amusing Comments
Several guests drift into the lit
tle inn, bringing their own ideas of
the situation. A sardine salesman,
a young politician, and a wealthy
barrister complete the family cir
cle. Their comments on modern so
ciety are as amusing as they are
truthful.
The inn-keeper, after a heated
session in an upstairs room of the
inn, is convinced that he should
tive his daughter an opportunity to
choose her own life. Despite the
battle in room 4, between his
daughter and her blue-blooded
sweetheart. The guests enter' the
family battle with spirit, much to
Mr. Greenleaf's disgust and his
daughter' appreciation. .
Consents to Wedding
When the nobleman himself ar
rives on the scene and suggests
that Mr. Greenleaf considers his
daughter inferior to Gerald, the
inn-keeper fumes. After fuming for
some time, he consents to the mar
riage. "Bird In Hand" will open in the
Temple theater on Monday eve
ning, April 13, for a week's run.
The cast, now in rehearsal, will be
announced by Miss Alice Howell,
players director, Sunday morning.

'Go West, Young Man' Was Cause
Of Dales Coming to Nebraska in
1871; Has Been Here for 60 Years

ploye of the University of Nebras

eral secretary of the board of re
gents. Although he was tor- in St.
Louis, Dales attended school in
Ohio. While there be became ac
quainted with Allen R. Becton,
who was later to become the first
chancellor of the University of Ne
braska. It was in March, 1871
that the chancellor first began his
duties as the head of the university
and was the occasion for the de
cision of Dales to come to the
west. '
April 1, 1871, three score years
ago yesterday, . saw his aTival in
Lincoln. The remainder of the
spring and the summer were spent
in botanical research of the fields
of Nebraska.
When the new state university
opened Sept. 7, 1871 there were
only two members in the . junior
class. Judge Dales waa one and
his friend William H. Snell was
the other. They have the distinc
tion of being the first class to
graduate from the university,

ACT ON SMOKE BILL
Delegation Attends Group
Meeting to Consider
Measure.
IS FAVORED BY FAWELL
A sizable "clapping" delegation
of W. C. T. U. members, headed
by Mrs. Clara Clayton, state presi
dent, overflowed the small room
Wednesday afternoon, where the
house committee hearing on Sen
ate File 82, intended to prohibit
the use of tobacco on all public
school buildings in Nebraska, con
vened. Altho none of the women
cared to be heard on pending
measure, they stood ready to lib
erally applaud the remarks made
by Superintendent Lefler of the
Lincoln schools, the Rev. W. C.
Fawell, Methodist student pastor
and Senator Johnson, introducer
of the bill.
The measure was referred to the
committee on miscellaneous af
fairs. No action was taken on the
bill. Several members of the com
mittee are known to be opposed to
the measure. Rudolph Tesar, for
mer Creighton football star and
representative from Omaha, is
known to be against it and op
posed the bill in the hearing. Tesar
agreed to having tobacco banned
from the public schools, with the
exception of the university. He
also said the practice of fining a
boy $25 for smoking a cigaret and
declaring him guilty of a misde
meanor would result in a social
damage to the boy and that expul
sion from school would be a suit
able penalty.
Many Oppose Measure.
Representative Smith of Omaha
is believed to be opposed to the
measure. Mrs. Mabel Gillespie
may also oppose the measure. She
represents Sarpy county, which is
considered one of the wet counties
of the state.
R. F. Cook, graduate student In
the department of political science,
stood out as the lone opponent of
the measure. He stated at the out
set that he was not personally ad
dicted to the use of nicotine and
that he waa not subsidized by the
tobacco trust. Cook maintained
that the measure would be harm
ful in that -it would Increase the

NEED FOR UNION
BUILDING IS SEEN
BY REV. LELAND
Presbyterian Pastor Issues
Statement Favoring
Proposed Plan.
SAYS NO UNIFICATION
Believes Students Are Too
Widely Scattered to
Develop Spirit.
By SEARS RIEPMA.
Great need of a student union
biulding In an urban center such
as Lincoln was seen Wednesday
by Rev. Dean R. Leland, Presby
terian student pastor, 333 North
Fourteenth street, in a statement
given a Dally Nebraskan reporter.
Reverend Leland, in making the
statement, pointed to the fact that
The Daily Nebraskan, in recent
Issues, had carried pictures of
student unions at universities lo
cated in such small college towns
as Ann Arbor, Mich., Iowa City,
and Palo Alto, Calif., and de
clared, "If universities in these
small college towns deem it neces
sary to provide a social center for
students, how much more im
portant it is that an urban uni
versity like Nebraska should have
a union building."
Students are Scattered.
The student pastor pointed out
that students are scattered over
wide areas and live in all parts
of the city, He maintained that
rinp tn anch an arrangement, the
campus was not entirely the cen
ter of activities, ana mat a stu
dent union building would serve to
make it such.
He declared that the union
building .would accomplish this by
giving students a place to spend
their moments when not in class.
"Unfortunately," Reverend Leland
said, "our university is hemmed
in on all sides by railroads and
business blocks, far removed from
residential sections. We have no
distinct community, and there are
many devisive elements, physical
nrtflfil nnrl rnmnetitive. W h i C h
greatly interfere with the growth
ol a strong conege spini.
Needs Union Greatly.
"Nebraska, therefore, is desper
ately in need of a meeting place, a
campus social center, a sort of
s p a c 1 ous university fraternity
hniin. nn-erinratinnAl in its ap
pointments, where students may
discuss weir own promems nu
share their friendships, their ideas,
their enthusiasms." .
Reverend Iceland's statement in
full:
I have observed that The Daily
Nehraakan in recent discussion ol
the subject of a Nebraska Union,
has used illustrations ot stuaeni
Unions at universities located in
small college towns like Ann Ar
bor, Iowa City, Palo Alto where
college spirit has always dom
inated the community. If univer
sities in these small college towns
Ha.rn.f4 it n.r..finrv to rjrnvide a
social center for students, how
much more important is it that an
nrhnn university like Nebraska
should have a university union.
Our students are scattered over
wide areas, and live in all parts of
the city. They are unconscious of
nu Hiotrift universitv comniunitv
life. Unfortunately our university
is nemmea in on an sines By ih
roads and business blocks, and far

of the city. We have no distinct
university community ana incie
are many devisive elements phy
Iral -tnl nnri rnmnetitive. which
greatly interfere with the growth
ot a strong unitea conege apim.
Nebraska is therefore desperately
in need of an adequate friendly

The place for such development is
fnunrl in a atrnno- universitv so
ciety or community, where free

sible. To bring about such a Con
dition at Nebraska is well worth
planning and working hard to se

Concedes Point for Which
It Has Fought All
During Year.
TO FILL BOARD VACANCY
New Precedent Set by Vote
To Appoint New Member
To Group.
Conceding a point which they
hitu fmicht fnr rinriritr the entire
year, members of the Student
council votea to remove irom ineir
new constitution all matter rela
tive tr eiitrihllltv at their last
night's meeting. This action was
the result or a racuiiy mm mat
their constitution would be turned
down by the university senate if
they sent it to that body with an
eligibility clause in it.
The rnnatitlltion has twice been
submitted to the subfaculty com
mittee on student atiairs. me nrsi
time it came back the council
i.hnniH their eltcrihilitv rtrnvision
so that it would effect only those
campus activities wnicn uiu uu,
concern intercollegiate' competi
titinn Thin however, was not
enough for the faculty committee.
and altho tney siaiea no reasons it
fa simrtnaeri that thev riirl not wish
u"ri '
the Student council to be given
any control over the eligibility
phase of activities whatever.
Has Chance to Pass.
As the draft now stands it is
conceded a reasonably good chance
of passing favorably before all ad
ministrative and faculty bodies
the subfaculty committee on stu
dent affairs, the faculty commit
tee on student affairs, and the uni
versity senate. Should all three of
these groups react positively to
the constitution in its present form
it will then be submitted to the
final testing group the student
body at the spring election.
Setting a new precedent and as
suming an original power the Stu
dent council voted yesterday to
appoint a senior publication board
member at its next meeting.
Never before has this body had
occasion to administer such a duty
and after the resignation of Cyril
Winkler, senior publication board
member there was some discussion
as to who should be allowed the
power of appointment. Divided
opinions were grouped on the
whole into three classes 1. That
such power should rest with the
publication board itself. 2. That
such a vacancy should be filled by
a special student election or by
intra-factional selection, or 3, that
the Student council should assume
the power of appointment in such
a case.
Council to Choose. .
After some discussion the coun
cil has decided to take upon itself
this responsibility and power. Pres
ident Kelly will issue a call for ap
plicants for this position from the
members of the senior class and
from that list of eligible applicants
a new member will be chosen.
Deficits totaling $24 in the final
analysis were reported by Robert
Kinkead, speaking as chairman of
the Junior-Senior prom commit
tee. Total expenses of the prom
amounted to $967.14 and the gross
receipts failed to balance this sum.
The monetary deficiency, how
ever, will be adequately taken care
of by a prom fund surplus which
