Future Barb Position
A Puzzle to Campus
Commentators.

By THE OBSERVER.
With tho battle-smoke of the
spring election quite absorbed by
the atmosphere of Time many
post-mortems and speculations
have been held. Erstwhile, com
mentators of the Blue Shirt faction
declare that the whole thing is the
result of an 'understanding' be
tween the newly organized Barbs
and the Yellow Jackets. As a mat
ter of fact the affair has slightly
more angles to it than that.
At this year's election the Barb
faction polled 232 votes. Last year
their total was 254 votes. As the
figures show their representation
at the polls took somewhat of a
drop. This spring the Yellow Jack
ets polled 474 votes as compared
with 232 last spring when their
ballot ran below that of even the
Barbs. A year ago the Blue Shirt
total amounted to 494; more than
twice that of the Yellow Jackets
and Barbs combined. This year the
Blue Shirts polled 522 votes but
this was not enough to outweigh
the other two groups.
The biggest factor in the elec
tion, and perhaps the most amaz
ing one, is the manner in' which
the Yellow Jackets were able to
poll over twice as many votes ad
they did a year ago. Of course they
would not have been able to make
the showing they did without the
Barb support. The Blue Shirts too
had a better polling than they did
last spring but their Increase was
not enough, proportionally, to
overcome the Yellow Jacket flash
of strength.
What Will Barbs Do?
The fact that the new Barb
group polled twenty-two votes
less than a year ago should In no
wise be interpreted as a loss of
strength. Last year's total may in
large part be accounted for by the

FINAL PLANS MADE
FOB DANCE RECITAL
Orchesis Will Present New
German Movements in
Annual Drama.
Final plans for the annual dance
drama to be given Wednesday eve
ning are being made and a dress
rehearsal was held Monday eve
ning. According to Miss Charlotte
Bergstrom, instructor in the de
partment of physical education for
women, who has charge of the pro
gram a most interesting and inter
talning arrangement of numbers
will be offered.
Orchesis this year has spent
some time working on the new
German movements. Part one of
the program tomorrow night will
be a clever combination of the
heavy German movements and the
American dance.
The first part of the drama Is
composed of three conflict cycles,
each worked out with mood
choruses and solo dancers. The
first of these cycles is a symphony
with four moods portrayed by a
chorus. The second cycle, or gypsy
dance, tells the story of a little
gypsy girl who finds a scarf and
is so fascinated with it that she
decides to run away with the ob
ject. The part of the gypsy girl
is portrayed by La Verne Herman.
Hat Three Sections.
The last conflict is divided into
three sections the first one show
ing the psychology of a mob and
how it can be influenced. The
Machine Age is the theme of the
next part in which Josephine Orr
has the solo dance. All move
ments of this dance are done to
the six-eight time of a drum, no
music being used. Youth and Age,
representing New and Old Ideas,
is to be given as the last of this
division, two mood choruses work
ing against each other.
The most unusual dance on the
program is a Primitive percussion
where man is shown in his lowest
stage. Primitive costumes in ac
cordance with the idea are being
worn and by the use of shadow
lights a grotesque effect is pro
duced. The second part of the drama
is composed of rather light and
gay dance problems. Juolienne
Deetken will give a Hurdy-Gurdy
dance at the close of this division.
Several other interesting numbers
are being worked out by other
members of Orchesis.
Tickets may be purchased from
members of Orchesis or W. A. A.,
or at the Departmental office. The
program starts at 8 o'clock in the
coliseum.

NEW TEACHING PLAN
DISCUSSED BY REED
Supervised Correspondence
Described at Meeting
in Minnesota.
WORK PROVES VALUABLE
Supervised correspondence study
as a means of improving tbe qual
ity of instruction was discussed by
Director A. A. Reed, of the exten
sion division, at a meeting of the
National Association of University
Extension held at the University of
Minnesota last week.
The discussion gave details of
an experiment now in progress in
some forty Nebiaska high schools
In which the local schools, the de
partment of school administration
of the University of Nebraska
Teachers college, and the univer
sity extension division are co-operating.
The experiment is an attempt to
enrich the program of the small
high school by providing courses
that can be carried at a minimum
of cost without the assistance of
teachers prepared in the speciflo
subjects.
Pupils study the lessons at a
school period under general super
vision of a teacher using teaching
aids which accompany the lessons,
and applying preliminary self ad
ministering tests to their progress.
When they find they have mas
tered the large division into which
the course naturally breaks, they
take a special test which is sent to
the extension division to be check
ed by the instructor in charge of
the course.
Proves Successful.
The plan is proving valuable In
offering a variety of subjects to
meet individual differences that
are the source of trouble and ex
pense In even large schools. Su
perintendents are finding it both,
as well as cheaper to abandon
classes in which there is small
registration and to have courses
carried by correspondence. Profes
sor Reed told the conference.
Some schools are procuring the
new type courses being developed
and are using them as a means of
improving class instruction.
The experiment is now in its
third year in Nebraska and has
been enlarged in its scope by a
grant of $5,000 from the Carnegie
corporation and the Carnegie
foundation for the improvement of
teaching. It is under the indi
vidual direction of Earl T. Flatt,
assistant director of university ex
tension, and Dr. E. O. Broady, pro
fessor of school administration.
