PLAYERS PRODUCTION IS PRAISED BY CRITIC (Continued from Page 1) Fragile tho she w-as, she knew no fear of t'lis sinister personage Miss Kissinger was particularly wen ca:;t in tins role. She has a simple crmrm that is extremely ex pressive and leaves a feeling that she dwells m an etherial atmos phere removed from that in which common mortals exist. Miss Howell played the part of the princess, Grazia s mother, with becoming grace. The art of ex pressing powerful emotions with the simplest of inflections and gestures, made her work especially gratifying. Mr. Diers did an im pressive job in the part of the ter ror stricken head of the household who tried to withhold the awful secret of his guest's identity from those dear to him. Some comedy relief from the strain of the play was the work of Mr. Lerncr as the aged Baron Cesarea, who was really ambitious and Mr. di Natale played well as the lover of Grazia, discarded in favor of the impressive and all powerful figure of death. The next play to be offered by the University Players will be "Three Suns West," the work of Herbert A. Yenne, a member of the dramatics department staff. With it the players will close their season.

Miss Leila Hinkley, general sec retary of the Y. W. C. A., in Pel ping, China, was the principal speaker at vesper services TueS' day afternoon at Ellen Smith hall Her subjeot dealt with women' place in the present situation in China; how the women of the past were bound by social, economic, and legal restrictions, and how the modern women were adapting themselves to the present crisis. "Chinese women," said Miss Hinkley, "have been emancipated in the eyes of the law. They now have property rights, and also have the privileges of obtaining a divorce. Tne custom of the hus band taking concubines into the home Is frowned upon by the mod em Chinese wife, who Is striving for a more idealistic marital rela tionship. "Women's activities are increas ing every day," continued Miss Hinkley. "and it is gratifying to observe the enthusiasm with which these women, suppressed for so many years, grasp every opportua ity that is offered to them. The Y. W. C. A.," she continued, "is the most thrilling organization in China, because it is the only one which is working for and with the women. There are few if any char itable organisations in China, and consequently, all relief problems are brought to our threshhold, to be solved. In telling of the great work that has been done by the foreign branch of the Y. W. C. A., Miss Hinkley described the many class es in adult education, which are or fered to women who up to this Uime had no knowledge of reading ana writing, in inree monies mey can learn to read and write over 3,000 characters. Miss Hinkley continued to relate that during the flood tragedy last summer, $10,000 was raised by Chinese women for the relief of their suffering fellow men. She also commented upon the surprising broad minded attitude which these women have displayed toward the Japanese since the Chi nese-Japanese war has been in progress. Preceding: Miss Hinkley's speech Julia Simanek, who presided over me meeung, gave a short history of Grace Coppock, who was the first national secretary of the Y. W..C. A., in China. She then intro duced the candidates for Y. W. C. A. offices. The Y. W. C. A. elec tion will take place on Thursday, March 3, from 9 to 5 o clock. COLLEGES FAVOR USE OF STUDENT ON SPORT BOARD '" (Continued from Page 1) on a par with the other members of the board. Students are not represented on the athletic board of control at Brown university, but they form an undergraduate athletic council which makes recommendations to the official graduate council. The recommendations made by the undergraduate council carry con siderable weight in the decisions of the graduate council. Men students at the University of Detroit have been ostracised. Coeds at the school, a Jesuit insti tution, have been refused permis sion to speak to them.

Students of the engineering col lege issued a challenge to the law school Monday night and formu lated a resolution that the matter of contention be placed in the bands of a neutral party on or before March S. The brown derby is a law col-leg-e tradition and was formerly awarded to the man In the fresh man class that made the "dumb est crack" during the week. The winner of the derby was compelled to wear it until a new man waa selected. The derby disappeared from Dean Foster's office at some time prior to Jan. , and was presented at aa engineer party on the eve ning of Jan. . The derby was brougLt to the party by special messenger and the snitcher of the derby has remained unknown. Dean Foster had the derby la his University Has No Part in Movement To Establish International Language The University of Nebraska has not, as yet, entered into the move ment for the establishment of an international language. Interest lb reviving in many colleges through out the country in Esperanto, language designed to combine all languages into a simple and easily spoken tongue. Esperanto is a language that is understood by thousands of people all over the world and in which mor than 100 periodicals and 10,000 books are available. "There has been no attempt at an Esperantist organization at the University of Nebraska for many year," stated Miss Conklin, head of the Romance language depart' ment. "Years ago, it must have been before 1900, Dr. Johnson, then an instructor here at the uni versity, organized such a club. How successful it was 1 do not re call. Since he left Nebraska there has been no further attempt with which I am acquainted. "Esperanto," continued Miss Conklin, "is only one of many in ternational languages that have been tried. It, however, has seemed to be the most successful of all. It is a language which con tains words from the many tongues of the world, but it has Its own inflections. It is easily learned by anyone who is at all acquainted with the principal tongues of the present time." Texas Offers Course. The University of Texas is this year offering a non-credit course in Esperanto. Classes meet on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and have a regular attendance of about eighty students. Besides the two classes, the University of Texas also offers an extension course. Professor Kenngott, Ger man instructor, has charge of the instruction of Esperanto. Not long ago be received an order from Hollywood for 100 Esperanto texts. The stars have been learning it, preparing for the time when it will be used in universal talking pic tures. Tne Hoy scouts are plan ning a world conference in the neutral language. Chambers of commerce recommend it as the base of international business re lations. It is used in preference to other languages for translations at international conferences and congresses. Espeianto was invented in 18&7 by Dr. Zamenhof, who published it anonymously under the name of "Dr. Esperanto. Esperanto means "tne one who is hoping." The lan guage is resonant with vowel sounds. It has regular grammar and word formations. Most of the words are easy to remember because of their similar ity to English, and as the deriva tions are largely Latin, resem blances sre seen with other lan guages. Esperanto has been called the I. A. L. the international aux iliary language, and is designed to supplement, not supplant, the na tural languages of the various countries of the world. Ten thousand Esperantists are united in a universal society which Professor Kenngott says is "bet ter organized than any organiza tion I know of except the United States post office." The movement is strong in Japan, and Europe is far ahead of the United Slates in the adoption of Esperanto. Such familiar uni versities as those of Liverpool, Geneva and Cambridge have re cently begun offering courses in it, but few American colleges give credit courses, although progress is discernible. possession at the time of the theft, due to a certain statement that he had made that called for the pre- sention of the derby. Article Sunday. An article appeared in the Sua day Daily Nebraskan that was written by a law student The student opinion letter requested that if the engineers were not go ing to put the prize to some use that they return it to the original owners. Statements were issued by stu dents of both colleges yesterday that finally culminated in the decision that a joint committee should formulate plans for a gen eral get together, a peace and dis armament conference, as it was termed. Additional plans are being form ulated and an announcement as to the program will be made to day, according to Glenn McKinney, president of the senior law class. Expect Large Convocation. Controversy over the derby after its disappearance from the law college dean's office was suspended until after final examinations. It was feared at one time that hos tilities might break out between the two schools as happened a number of years ago when the lawyers wrecked the engineers' dirigible and the engineers retali ated by egging the Phi Alpha Delta, honorary legal fraternity house. A large proportion of the stu dent body of both schools is ex pected to turn out for the convo cation. Material for debate and the case of each college is being prepared by the committee of each school. I DISCUSSION GROUP MEETS Uni T. M. C. A. Sponsors Campus Wide Program For University Men.
