FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1931. THE .DAILY JNLBKASKAN 5 L PRACTICE FOR CIRCUS First Exposition Of Youth Of Lincoln To Open At 7 Saturday. Finishing touches to Lincoln's first scoui ulcus, lo be h Lue coliseum Saturday evening, were made last night with the final dress rehearsal. The coliseum is being decorated for the circus which will be an elaborate exposition of Lincoln's youth, both boys and girls. The doors will be opened at 7 o'clock sharp, and a concert given by the Burlington band will be given be fore the circus proper starts. Ticket sales for the event have been very good, and a large crowd is anticipated. General admission tickets will be obtainable at the ticket office or from any- Boy Scout. The equipment used in the coli seum was made by the scouts in the manual training laboratories at Lincoln high schools, while other parts have been constructed by the scouts themselves during the past month or two. This exposition promises to be the most complete ver staged of Lincoln's youth, including boys and girls scout organizations, up to the age of eighteen. SUGGESTS STUDENT ' PAYMENT BE MADE (Continued from Page 1.) a procedure which was either il ligal or unsound from a financial point of view. The regent visit the university infrequently and for a brief time. They are unable within that time to determine methods of procedure in matters of this sort and must have those details thoroly worked out for them before they are presented, else the recommendations of the administration carry little weight in this or in other matters. Legal Phases Difficult. "The legal phases of the erection of a swimming pool without cash in hand with which to float the enterprise are somewhat technical and difficult. They may, how ever, be passed by for the moment while we are determining some basis pon which trust companies or individuals will be willing to in vest in the bonds or debentures which may be issued. While a separte building is much more desirable, the diificuities ot erecting such a building at moder ate cost multiply as they are in vestigated. The rough estimates of the architects indicate that in the neighborhood of $40,000 will be necessary to build a swimming pool in the basement of the coli seum and to equip necessary locker rooms, showei, etc., for the accommodation of women stu dents. The showers and lockers for men are already provided, so that no cost would be incurred in such eqpipment. Before trust companies would be willing to take the promise of the University Athletic Building asso ciation, which built the coliseum, that the obligations would be paid, something more than a theoretical statement of the revenue which might be derived from this source will be necessary. Prospective fees are too intangible to offer as se curity for a loan of $40,000. This promise is binding only in case the contemplated revenue is available from student fees. Advocates Fee. "A. much more tangible source of revenue might be found if the student body were to pay a def inite sum into the treasury similar to the amount now collected for medical service. This fee of $1.00 per semester has not been found burdensome by the students, but has been very beneficial in the protection of student health. A similar fee levied for the building and maintenance of the swimming pool would set up a dependable guarantee upon which bonds could probably be sold, once this project was endorsed by the regents and the receipts of this fee guaranteed in payment for the principal and interest on the securities Issued. All students of the university would thus be guaranteed swim ming privileges without further expenditure unless they wish to participate in registered classes. "While this proposal has not been submitted to a trust company to determine its sufficiency, there is reason to believe , that either trust companies or private citizens living In Lincoln would be willing to purchase these bonds if they were offered on the market "No effort has been made to de termine whether the student body would favor a tax of this sort in order to have the advantages of a swimming pool. Perhaps the stu dents themselves should determine this point before the regent arc asked to endorse the enterprise. PLATERS TO END PRESENT SEASON SATURDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page X.)

"Bird in Hand" which concludes the season la a well-thought out, well-written, well-directed and well-presented play.

LOOSE THREADS By Gene McKIm RAND ISLAND, Neb. With King Alfonso's abdication of the Spanish throne Tuesday, fol lowing the republican victory in the Sunday elections held in that country, th last of the long line of the Bourbon dynasty termin ates its power in European gov ernmental affairs. Unlike the usual procedure con nected with such momentous events in history, this change of government was accomplished without bloodshed. Alfonso proved himself to be a big man in more than the ordinary sense of the word, when he acquiesced to his country's wishes by abdicating in favor of the republican leaders, without attempting to hold his position by force. j THE Spanish monarchy is the fourth powerful European i crown which has fallen during the past thirteen years. They are the Russian, the German, the Austrian and now that of Spain. Alfonso XIII passed from one of Europe's most popular mon archs to what amounts to politi-1 cal exile. He is reported to be en route to London, from whence he may visit the United States De fine definitely making his huiue in any particular country. His manner of abdication has been referred to is "a gesture of emplary respect for democratic ideals." MARTIAL law has been pro nounced in the country until the newly formed republican junta has been able to take over the reigns of the government. With the departure of the king from Madrid, Alcala Zamora, re publican leader, immediately took charge as provisional president and formed a new cabinet. He was in constant communication with Former Premier Aznar regarding the transfer of powers to the new government. ()FTEN times to students in volved in the whirl of univer sity life, or to men submerged in business pursuits, history past and present seems a bit remote. It sometimes takes a moment ous change in the political life of a country such as the one now taking place in Spain to make us realize that we are living .in an age in which possibly more radi cal changes in history and in the trends of living are taking place than have ever before oc curred in a similar period. Faced with the problems which are bound to arise in a world which it seems has gone mad with the spirit of change and revolution since the World war, students should be increasingly thankful for the opportunities the educational facilities of this country offer ,in preparing them selves to take part in the affairs of the world. TERITZA, Rays O. O. Mclntyre, J is the only artist to approach Caruso's effortless flair for pub licity. "All her rivals have been more earnestly exploited, but she is a positive personality. Every thing she does becomes drama magnificently performed." One of the secrets of Jeritza's success lies in her absolute lack of temperament, thinks Mclityre. This point is well worth the trouble considering to the univer sity student, who, it is said, too often has a false idea as to his own abilities, regardless of the course he is taking. Sometimes this is called temperament some times conceit, but it amounts to the same thine. Such an attitude is one of the biggest objections which manag ers of firms have for college stu dents. More criticism is leveled at university . graduates for their at titude than for their ability. LIELEN Christine Bennet, maga zine feature writer, in the March issue of McCalls tells of the life of young people in Rus sia in an article entitled, "Meet the Younger Smiths of Russia." In her article Miss Bennett stresses the responsibility which the soviet government has placed upon the shoulders of the youth of the land. She says: "All Rus sian youth does productive work, or studies or is occupied with so cial work, sometimes all three. Russia is so urgently in need of leaders that she can. hardly wait for her youth to grow up. She puts upon its eager shoulders re sponsibility usually given to ma- Cornhusker Shop turlty. Youth responds, for it Is almost entirely won over to the new order. . 'There are, 3,135,000 Young Communists organized in Russia today. They have their own newspaper, the brightest most au dacious and fearless sheet in the union. . The youth of the world cries out for responsibility, but in most lands it is denied that precious burden. Soviet Russia deliberately hands responsibility .... over to youth. Youth that la given re spuuai'uilily aa last j li. Ulea to assume It is not only supremely happy but magnificent in its work." fNE hears much about the in- ability of American youth to accept responsibility. The Ameri can, college graduate is often pic tured aa being an individual who has a good four year loaf. To many it would seem that a col lege education is considered a handicap for a job. It seems nec essary for business men to be sure and place the collegiate pro duct in his proper sphere. The idea of entrusting an American youth with anything amounting to a serious responsibility is scoffed at by critics of the col lege and university, and is never seriously considered by their many supporters. Is it not possible that this is not entirely the fault of the col legian? The college graduate is taught that his education is to serve as a background which will enable him to forge ahead faster, possibly, once he gets started, but he never for a moment worries about having any responsibility attached to him as soon as he gets out of school. The student if he has consid ered the matter at all, realizes that the first few years out of school, he will be serving an ap prenticeship. Of course minor re sponsibilities will be given to him, but to have any of the jobs of leadership entrusted to him is very remote possibility. Is it not possible that if the youth of America were to be given some real responsibility it might not handle it as satisfac torily as the Russian youth seems to be handling his? MILESTONES April 17, 1901. Alfred Whitman, the original "Laurie" of "Little Women." gave his personal recollections of "Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy," ar1 other Concord characters in Louisa May Alcott's popular novel, "Little Women." Mr. Whitman, who lived in Kansas, had gone to school in 1657, when the celebrated men and women who had made Concord a household word the world over, were living. A professor from Yale divinity school, in a university address, de fended hazing as a practice. He stated that Joseph of Biblical al lusion was hazed by his brothers. He was a "fresh young man," ac cording to the professor, and his brothers' actions were effective, and a good thing for Joseph, just as such measured had been for many a boy of modern times. 1911. Picnic season officially opened with the discovery of a violent in Penn woods. Out going street cars were crowded to overflowing with coeds and young men, the latter heavily laden with shoe boxes and frying pans wraped in news paper. About one half the entire base ball squad was declared ineligible by the delinquency committee. The team was nearly demolished, and Nebraska met Doane with only half the men who were counted on for places on the team. 1921. Junior and senior units of R. O. T. C. adopted a new code of honor. It banned "unauthorized help or cheating, in any iorm in examina tions for such actica deceived one's parents, instructors, and ruined the character of the indi vidual." If was affirmed that such dishonor injured tne reputation of the university by sending forth those who graduated by lint of fraud and would bring discredit upon the school by displaying ig norance upon which they were supposed to be thoroly informed by virtue of having obtained a de gree. The unit further resolved that "we will see to it that there is no cheating in the R. O. T. C." A new flag was raised on the top of U. hall. It replaced the old colors which had been so harshly treated by the elements that only a torn bit of cloth remained.

AG RALLY DISCLOSES FINAL PLANS OF FAIR (Continued from Page 1.1 ends. White urged students to be thinking about the fair during the Vacationing at home. Above all he emphasized the value of letting people over the state know about the fair. High school students visiting the fair in delegations with class in structors will be admitted free, it was announced at the rally. Upon their arrival at the college of agriculture the groups will be taken over the fair grounds and to the various departments at the college on an inspection tour. In inviting the high school students to Lincoln for the fair, the senior board maintains that it will help advertise the college. , ' Practically every major com mittee has made its plans for the fair and reported at the rally. Included in the features of the fair this year are the pageant, dances, inter-sorority riding con test, concessions, exhibits and others.

Agee of the Lincoln Tele phone and Telegraph company spoke before the business admin istration class In real estate Wed nesday on "Predicting Future Population for Specific Cities." Due to minimizing the effect of transportation changes, engineer ing experts some years ago proph esied a population of over 100,000 for Lincoln in 1930. Mr. Agee gave the reasons for these faulty pre dictions of Lincoln's growth. After discussion of the general forces responsible far the growth of cities, he pointed out a number of the general forces that attect the urban centers, in the middle west particularly. The relationship of the trade area and its population to the population of a town such as Lincoln was also pointed out.
