1E are inclined to oiler three
cheers for Prof. L. B. Orfield
who is attempting to put into prac
tice what might be termed an aca
demic ideal. Too often the college
professor or the theorist is likely
to he discounted as a man isolated
from realities. '"What he says is
ail right." say some, "but it is too j
theoretical. It wouldn't ever work." j
No ereater field for the student
.l theory to apply, his ideals
worked out f;om an examination
of the faults of reality could be
lound than in the field of law.
Criticism of the technicalities
which allow the guilty to escape
justice has been lampant for years
and yet little has been accom
plished in modernizing some of the
antiquated procedures which are
only justified on the grounds of
age.
Professor Orfield compares some
of these procedures with which
lawyers must work to blunt surgi
cal instruments. He recognizes
that miscarriages of justice and
other faults in the workings of
justice are not by any means all to
be collected by simplifying and
modernizing machinery. But he
noes believe that considerable im-
j rovement ran be made in the ma
chinery of the law and he has
s- tidied the problem lor seveial
years.
Kven piacticing attorneys who
come in contact with the flaws in
al machinery are not likely to

turn of mind necessary to the for
mulation of such improvements. It
will be a fortunate circumstance if
more academicians turn their tal
ents to the realization of their
theoretical ideals and if the prac
tical politicians and men of affairs
will defer sufl'iciontly to special
ized knowledge to allow these
idvals to be adopted.

CHARL1K seldom or never gets
a bid to a formal. But Charlie
is a clever lad and he thought up
this little device to enable him to
go to the downtown .social affairs.
He secured an envelope in which
the various bids are sent and
pastes inside this envelope any old
piece of cardboard or an old bid.
When he enters the door he pre
sents this sealed little work of art,
and while the doorman is vainly
struggling to extract the bid from
the envelope Charlie strides on in
to the party with a self satisfied
expression on his face, confident
that no one will ever know
whether he was invited or not.
Charlie has a lot of other devices
too, which he uses alternately to
effect his entrance to the various
campus parties. He is the verita
ble personification of the uninvited
guest but he never feds sensitive
about that. He has numerous
counteipaits. many of whom have
copied his systems of crashing
parties.
Charlie might well be labeled
public enemy No. 1. His gang is
increasing rapidly and the problem
of coping with these numerous
public enemies is becoming a seri
ous one. When an organization
plans a paity and dec ides on a cer
tain number of guests so that all
may enjoy themselves with suffi
cient room to dance, it is exceed
ingly annoying to have the ball
room floor so crowded with Char
lie and his gang that the invited
guests can scarcely move.
One sorority attempted to keep

of names of people who had been

jpaity early, he merely gave some
1 one else's name and had a very
' enjoyable evening,

our race to 17 percent, why cant
they dwell upon that."
According to the Herald dis
patch, one minister withdrew his
entire choror.s from the play. Also
from the Herald comes the state
ment quoting Owen as saying that
other singers were obtained for
the play by 'brito of an afternoon
tea and the promise of $45."
Denying that tne chorus was
"bribed," Ihe University Players
Thursday said the chorus work
was entirely a volunteer service.
"An afternoon tea was served."
say inemlHMs of the department,
"and all in the cast and chorus
were invited. The foe of $45 was
f',ured by the entire group as a
sufficient" remuneration to pay
lor their carfare to and from re
hearsals, and on the actual nights
of the play itself."
Miss H. Alice Howell, director of
the Players, in defending the play
against adverse criticism said that
some of the characters objected to
(a crippled gambler, a woman of
doubtful morals, a murderer and a
dope and liquor peddler i were not
included in onl one race. "We
present similar characters in
other modern plays with white
casts. I took the part of Madame
X, a lewd murderess, myself in one
of our productions."
Small Says Play Artistic. j
W. Robert Small, negro social j
worker, also ranged on the side of
! the defenders of the play. Claim j
ing in part that the current pro-
i duction was a true portrayal of j
I nrimitive neero life in South C.ii-;
! olina. Small declared that the play
! was a true artstic attempt. A
! statement in the Daily Nebraskan
; Wednesday quoted Small as saying
that "anytime thai anyone can gei.
i something artistic and something,
I beautiful from a poitrayal of piim- j
' itive life, it is worth while." j
' Impressed with the manner in j
which the university students and;
negro singers co-operated in pro
ducing the rilav. the executive sec
retary declared. "If nothing else is j
shown by this play other tnan me
manner in which the negro and the
; white person can work together in
; such a production, the play will be
! a great benefit to Lincoln."
i "The one line, 'Porgy isn't here,'
j he continued, "gives a deep insight
; into the intei rac ial loyalty of the
1 negro."
j "May I compliment the Univer
sitv nf "Nebraska for attempting
, ' this play I think the University
door.. . .., ... 4
is attempting io miuw me ivu
races working side by side in put
ting on this performance with a
mixed cast. We have seen some
thing here we cannot witness in
many cities of America and I think
as a result of it, the white boys and
girls and the colored people in this
cast will learn to appreciate each
other more, for they are learning
something of human understand
ing." GOLDS ASSIST AT FOLLIES
