Faulkner Says Impossible
For Kosmet Klub to'-'

SMALL CROWD MONDAY
Devereaux Regrets Students
Will Not See Comedy;
Music Is Good.
'Due to circumstances which arc
Insurmountable," a c c o r ding to
Edwin J. Faulkner, business mana
ger," the Kosmet Klub will be un
able to stage an extra showing of
"Jingle Belles" in the Temple
theater Saturday evening." Regret
that students desiring to see the
1932 spring musical comedy "ere
unable to do so, was expressed by
Dick Devereaux, president of the
organization. .
The extra appearance of "Jingle
Belles" was to be staged because
of the number of requests that
have come in for an additional per
formance. The Tuesday and Wed
nesday night shows filled the aisles
of the Temple and it seems certain
that an extra showing would draw
a large crowd.
"Those who . wished to see the
show should have come Monday
night as there was plenty of room
then," Dick Devereaux stated.
"Jingle Belles" was written by
Herbert Yenne. who also served as
director and leading character. The
Hastings performance was the
only out of town trip made by the
Kosmet Klutf this year. Practice
sh.iwings were given at the state
reformatory and the state penl
teutiary. The three day run of
the two-act musical extravangenza
at the Temple theater closed Wed
nesday night.

Says Idea to Help Students
Affiliate Good; Would
Need Aid of Dean. .
Norman Galleher, president of
the Interfraterntty council. Thurs
day expressed approval of a plan
adopted at Wisconsin for contact
ing unaffiliated students with fra
ternities in which they are inter
ested. Under the plan the dean's
office would be the medium thru
which such contact was estab
lished. The student, under the plan In
augurated there, may call at the
dean's office and by giving his
name and address, and indicating
the type of organization in which
he is interested, the information
will be placed at the disposal of
fraternities interested.
Galleher said of the plan: "I be
lieve the plan is a good one, both
for the fraternities and the fresh
men, tho it would depend upon the
dean's office as to whether it could
be worked out.
Dean S. H. Goodnight of Wis
consin in approving the plan made
the following statement: "It has
been suggested to this office that
it might be of service to students
desirous of becoming acquainted
with fraternities with a view to
affiliation, if we could facilitate
acquaintanceship between the in
dividual and the groups. We should
be glad to undertake this.

.Courtesy ot The State Journal.
Prof. Goodwin D. Swezey,
re-
cently elevated to emeritus status
at the University of Nebraska,
was honored by fifty of his col
leagues at a dinner at the Univer
sity club Thursday evening.
Chancellor Burnett presided over
the gathering, given by members
of the Faculty Men's club. Head
ing the speakers list were Prof. F.
M. Fling, Prof. Lawrence Fossler,
Chancellor Emeritus Samuel J.
Avery, Dr. E. H. Barbour, and
Professor Emeritus L. A. Sher
man. All of the speakers paid trib
ute to Mr. Swezey and his out
standing record of fifty-two years
as a professor, thirty-eight of
them at Nebraska.
Thruout his long years of serv
ice, Professor Swezey, now past
eighty, has never missed a single
class. He is the oldest active pro
fesor on the university faculty,
and the only full time one in the
astronomy department, which will
become part of the mathematics
department when Professor Swe
zey retires Sept. 1.
Never Been
Professor Swezey,
"never been really ill
life," was graduated
III.
. who . has
a day in his
from Beloit
university in Wisconsin in 1873,
the same year the first class was
graduated from the University of
Nebraska. He received his mas
ter's degree fronvthe same school
two years later, and then received
a bachelor of divinity degree in
1880 at an eastern seminary.
He preached only one summer,
going to Doane college at Crete in
the fall of 1880 as professor of
general science, becoming meteor
ologist soon afterward when an
observatory was constructed. In
1894, he came to the University of
Nebraska.
He will retire before seeing his
dream come true that of a new
observatory. A telescope for it was
made in 1900, but has been housed
in a steam tunnel.
Besides teaching, Mr. Swezey
has served as meteorologist for
the United States experiment sta
tion, and also as director of the
Nebraska weather service, but his
work was done in the eighties and
nineties. He is author of one book,
"Practical Exercises in Astron
omy," published in 1904. He sets

A regular wild west milking
contest for both men and women
Is to be an added feature of the
1932 Farmer's Fair, according to
an announcement made by the
senior fair board this morning. In
itial plans for the contest were
drawn up this week.
It Is expected that the milking
contest will be held on the ath
letic field immediately following
the horse pulling contest. The
cows, tame and otherwise, will be
turned into the field and the con
testants will be expected to get a
certain quantity of milk before the
contest will be finished. Other
rules have not been designated as
yet '
"We feel that the milking con
test should enliven the fair some
what and it should be a real com
edy," Manager Fred Meredith de
clares. "With suitable prizes to ne
offered, it is hoped that there will
be a large number of contestants
in both groups. The cows used for
the co-eds will be tame and easy
to handle. They will be used to be
ing "palled."
At the sam time the fair board
announced that the co-ed horse
riding contest will probably be
held again this year. Since there
is a revolving cup used for the
event, it will again be used this
year. Complete plans for the rid
ing contest will be announced
within the next few days.

FRATERNITY
COUNCIL IS GOOD
THING-SCHRAMM
Advisor Says Existence Is
Justified; Integral Part
Of School.
CITES MANY FUNCTIONS
Scholarship, Rushing, Ball
Pointed Out as Evidence
Of Campus Work.
The interfraternlty council not
only justifies its existence at the
University of Nebraska but it is
an integral part of the school, is
the opinion of Prof. E. F.
Schramm. In connection with the
abolition of the interfraternity
council at Wisconsin university
Professor Schramm was inter
viewed by the Daily Nebraskan
Thursday.
"The functions that the interfra
ternity council serves at Nebraska
are innumerable. Its promotion of
fraternity scholarship by the
awarding of plaques and the Hai
ner cup, the enforcement and the
enactment of rushing rules and
serving as a medium to bring
about co-operation and harmony
between fraternities are among its
chief functions," the faculty ad
visor to the interfraternity council
stated.
The interfraternity council is the
only medium through which the
faculty and outsiders can reach
the fraternities effectively. The
interfraternity ball, one of the ma
jor social functions of the year, is
sponsored by the organization.
"The interfraternity council is a
necessary institution. Without it
there would be no medium through
which to work for the bringing
about of co-operation and cohesion
between fraternities. Its other ac
tivities are beneficial to the best
interests of the university and ren
der a great service," was Profes
sor Schramm's added opinion.
E FIVE COEDS TO

Y. W. C. A. Estes Park
Delegates Will Get
$85 Expenses.
Five Nebraska girls will receive
financial aid to be used in attend
ing the Y. M-Y. W. C. A. confer
ence at Estes Park this summer
Following an annual custom the
conference staff, which was head
ed this year by Gertrude Clarke,
raised funds to send delegates to
conferences and conventions. A
total of $85 is being given to dele
gates this year, however, it is be
ing apportioned among five in or
der to help more attend the con
ference. Those receiving money for this
purpose are Catherine Williams,
$25; Eleanor Dixon, $20; Evelyn
O'Connor, $20; Martha Hershey.
$10; and Ruth Cherney, $10. All
are members of the cabinet which
was installed last month.
A committee appointed from the
Y. W. C. A. cabinet selected the
delegates, acting upon the recom
mendations of the conference staff.
Money for this purpose was
raised in a number of ways by the
staff members. They sold conces
sions at the Faculty Women's
Play and at the state basketball
tournament. They have sold candy
thru the organized houses all year
and at Christmas time they sold
wreathes. They also contribute
something to the expenses of the
student secretary Miss Bernice
Miller and to students attending
the biennial convention at Minne
apolis next month.

Called Farce by Opponents;
Faculty Say Deadwood
Has To Go.
CLAIM EIGHT FAILURES
The interfraternity council at
the University of Wisconsin after
being attacked by most of its mem
bers as the greatest farce the uni
versity campus has ever seen, was
voted out of existence last Tues
day. A faculty committee under
the direction of the dean of men
was placed in charge of future
fraternity activities and calling
meetings of fraternity presidents
when necessary.
The vote for the abolition of the
council was 17 to 3. Advocates
for the disbandment of the council
stated that the history of the
group had been one failure after
another.
"The fight-it-out attitude of the
Greek letter houses makes elimina
tion of the council imperative.
Deadwood must go. Unquestion
ably there is deadwood on the
campus and the interfraternity
council falls in that class. It has
to go," wus the argument of one
of the abolitionists.
Point Out Failures.
Eight specific failures were
pointed out by the group favoring
elimination. . These, fallacies have
occurred since the reorganization
of the council in 1927. They are:
1. Rushing regulations have been
grossly violated so far as to be
farcical. 2. An attempt to slash
orchestra rates was a failure. 3.
Co-operative buying was brought
up nnd dropped on three, separate
occasions. 4. The loan fund dance,
a worthwhile activity, was aban
doned after a one year trial. 5. A
plan for freshman publications fell
through before it got started. 6.
Substitution of a probation period
for "hell" week was never carried
out. 7. Nothing was accomplished
in the readjustment of fraternity
taxes. 8. Interfraternity court has
done little or nothing.
Fear that the faculty was spon
soring the abolition of the council
as a part of a vast dormitory pro
gram was expressed by one of the
Greeks. Another student charged
that the fraternities were not fra
ternity minded.
In summarizing the indictments
against the council one of the
spokesmen declared that cut-throat
competition had been the rule dur
ing the last five years despite the
existence of the council and that
the outlook for co-operation in the
future was no better.

Prof. Void Files Interesting Brief
For Plaintiff in Case of Sorensen
Vs. Wood and Radio Station KFAB
Trof. Lawrence Void of the Law college is awaiting with
interest the decision of the Su preme court of Nebraska in the
case of Sorensen vs. Wood and Kadio Station KFAB in which
lie has entered a brief as frien d of the court. The decision of
the case is likely to be made within the next few weeks.
. Prof. Void described his p articipntion in the case as more
or less of a coincidence. The caseo-
which involves a suit by Attorney
General Sorensen for defamatory
statements made by the defendant
in a radio address came up in dis
trict court when Prof. Void's class
in torts was studying the question
of defamation. He suggested to the
class that the case would furnish
them some practical Illustrations
of points connected with the law
of defamation and advised them to
atend the court sessions. He him
self listened to one or two court
sessions, and became interested in
the case because of the broad ques
tion which he has conceived it in
volves. When the case was appealed to
the Supreme court following an
adverse decision for the plaintiff in
the lower court. Prof. Void pre
pared a brief which he filed with
the court In support of the con
tention of the plaintiff. This prac
