BE 'MOST ELABORATE'
'Beggar on Horseback' Is
Characterized as Comic
Satire.
HAS 21 SCENE CHANGES
The idea of "Beggar on Horse
back" current production of the
University Players which showed
for the second time in the Temple
last night, was borrowed from
Hollenfahrt (Johnny Sunstromer's
Hollenfahrt (Johnny Sunstromer
Trip to Hell,) but except for the
general idea the American authors,
George S. Kaufman and Marc Con
nelly, owe nothing to the German
playwright
The drama, with twenty-one
changes of scenery in three acts, is
the most elaborate ever produced
bv the Players.
The trammels of realism are
cast aside as all but two scenes
are devoted to a dream of the hero,
Neil NcRae, a young composer.
Herbert Yenne, who plays the part
of Nell kills four persons with a
paper knife, a gift from his Uncle
Charles, because his fiancee de
stroys tiie manuscript of his second
symphony. The fiancee, Gladys
Virginia Cady, is played by Anne
Kavich, wbo plays her first major
part In a University Player pro
duction. ' Other victims include Mr. Cady,
a practical minded multi-millionaire,
who wants and encourages
Neil to write "decent music and not
sensational trash." Ray E. Ramsay
plays this role of the wealthy
father who is willing to buy a hus
band for his only daughter. Mrs.
Cady, played by Nora Osborn, and
Homer Cady, Joe dl Natale, com
plete the murdered victims.
fHe trial convicting the young
struggling composer of murder," is
one of the features of this satire
comedy. Waiters, dancers, doctors,
reporters, make up the jurors. The
judge and jury announce the ver
dict of "guilty," and Neil is then
compelled to write the kind of
music that Mr. Cady calls "Real
Music." A pantomime in act two
plays an important part in the de
velopment of the plot.
Gordon Bergquist, who plays the
part of Dr. Albert Rice, a reporter,
a waiter and a member of the jury,
encourages the match between
Gladys and Neil because he thinks
it is the only possible way for Neil
to ever write music. "At least Neil
would not starve if be married
niadvR is his argument to Cyn
thia Mason, a young: neighbor, and
a sweetheart ot in en s. tjiara nns
t onsen nlnvs her role well as Cyn
thia and finally wins out in the end
by marrying ner jover.

HAYSEED
- - and - -HAYWIRE
o
By GEORGE ROUND
Dean Emeritus Emit Hendrick
son of the janitors at the college
of agriculture regards publicity
highly. Tho there is no question
but what he is the peer of all the
custodians, he sincerely believes
that there will be no custodian's
college started in the University of
Nebraska soon. If it were to be
started, there is no doubt but what
Dean Emil would head the school.
Contrary to popular opinion
there is no such a thing as a
thorobred chicken or pig. But ask
any coed or Nebraska student and
he or she will say there is. Au
thorities, however, tell us that
there are thorobred horses, stand
ard bred chickens and purebred
swines. Sometimes it is hard to
get the "breds" in the right cate
gory-
The question of whether or not
there will be a state fair in Ne
braska this year legitimately raises
the question of whether or not the
1932 Farmer's Fair at the college
of agriculture will have to be dis
continued. Attendance at the Ne
braska student fair has been de
creasing rapidly in recent years
and unless Manager Fred Mere
dith and his co-workers outline a
new plan of entertainment this
year, they are apt to go further in
the red than ever before.
A student reader of the Daily
Nebraskan and other publications
reminds us that our copy is hay
wire and if he were to know us, he
would probably come to believe
that we are "hayseedy." It is a
good thing we are in the back
ground. Looks do sometimes give
people away.
Leland Copple. the study athlete
from the Ag college, seems to play
on both of Nebraska's B teams.
First he played with the uptown
quintet when they played Wesle
yan the fore part of last week and
then again he performed with the
Atr college B team when they met
Wayne Normal Friday night. He
played his best game on rnaay
evening.
Another Ag student who com
plains about his spelling is Gus
Bates. He solemnly upon a stack
of text books swears that he knows
how to spell the word "piece" cor
rectly. It took Delphin Nash,
nevertheless, to call it to bis at
tention. These sign painters should
look at old man Webster before
going about their work.
Professor Hertzler of the so
ciology department wants the
world to know that in his estima
tion many college boys and gro
cery truck drivers are "nin-ka-poops."
At least he strongly
maintains that they can't show
nff in anv other wav so irive their
inferiority complex a chance to
operate when they get behind the
wheel of a car. Evidently one of
thp flpanftr'g trucks has brushed
PrnfoKBor Hertzler into the ditch
a time or two. He is especially
strong in denouncing their plan of
attack. ' .
Here comes O. S. Bare of the
agricultural college through with
the idea that it isn't a disgrace to
have bedbugs but it is a disgrace
to keep them. But we would like
to ask Mr. Bare, how many coeds
he thinks appreciates the tiny lit
tle bugs? Contrary to Bare's
opinion they usually do not think
it is an honor to have the creatures
around and about.
Speaking of courteousness. the
men students on the college of ag
riculture campus are on the same
level with the women. If a lack
of courteousness is to be noted, it
fa to h. found amonr both sexes.
True perhaps many Aggie men do
not tip meir nais 10 iui uut
the other hand the women do not
appreciate little acts of courtesy
from the men. A fellow can bold
a door open for a coed all day long
on the Ag campus and seldom does
v -t "thank vou" from the
girls. They take it as a matter of
course. . , ,
c wnv (fonlore the lack of
courteousness on the part of the
men. The women are Just as bad.

Dr. Norman L Hill Will
Address World Forum
On Subject.
Dr. Norman L. Hill of th2 po
litical science department will
speak before the World Forum at
today's noon meeting at the Grand
hotel on "The United States and
the World Court."
In his speech Dr. Hill will bring
out the objections and the advan
tages of the United States enter
ing the court.
Afcnrriinir to Dr. Hill the ad
vantages would outweigh the dis
advantaees. "Participation in the
court," he said, "would bring about
a feeling of understanding ana
cooperation among the . nations.
The prestige of the court would be
added to by the participation of
the United States, and the position
of the United States would oe
strengthened in the general field
of diplomacy."
Today's luncheon speaker ex
niainir that although there were
a number of objections raised in
regard to the entry of the United
States into the court, most of these
objections were based on faulty
knowledge of the facts involved,
and that consequently most of
them were fallacious.
The World court will have been
in existence for ten years by the
30th of this month. During that
time it has heard a number of
cases, the most important of which
was the Austro-German Customs
Union case in 1931.

Lick of money Is keeping many
former college of agriculture stu
dents from attending school this
year, according to a survey Just
completed by H. K. Douthit, as
sistant to Dean Burr.
Douthit's report shows that :9
out of 46 students replying to hU
questionnaire reported that finan
cial conditions are keeping thm
from being in school. One former
student is attending another
school, two have had enough
schooling while four have too much
other work to do.
A total of 106 questionnaires
wore sent out to former men stu
dents by Douthit in the survey.
Forty-six replied and more are ex
pected to do so before the end of
the wee'.; However, of tho 46
former students replying a total of
39 intend to ritvrn to the college
of agriculture some time in the
near future. The other seven do
not plan to resume thsir college
career.
The survey shows that only 9 of
the 39 who intend to return to
school some time will be back for
the second semester. The other 30
plan to return next fall if finan
cial conditions are improved. Of
the 46 students, 30 are now en
gaged in farming while the re
maining 16 are working at other
jobs.
Douthit indicated this morning
that a similar questionnaire will
be sent to former women student3
in the college of agriculture in an
effort to determine why many did
not return to school this year. The
results of the survey will probably
be available within the next three
weeks.

Lancaster: "His resignation is a
matter of more than ordinary sig

enriched the law or all English

Farmers over the state were

"To enjoy oneself it Is neces

That was the declaration of Dr.
Henry Purmont Eames, interna

of music, a he developed the

Don't You?" at an all university

Dr. Eames, who was formerly

Suggesting to look into substan

Ameiican "men are particulaily
afraid ot beauty because they feai
that should they show an interest
it will denote weakness and a ilare
for "artiness."
His piano Interpretations served
to contrast two types ot music,
