Doctor Filley is serving as consult

appointed by the Farmers National
Grain Dealers association to in

Probably the first body ever ap
pointed by a group of farmers to
study grain marketing, the com
mission has held hearings in Chi

Springfield, 111., and at Winnipeg,
Canada. About sixty witnesses
have presented testimony to it, in

THEIR PET ROLES
Maria Jeritza, Edith Mason
Will Appear With Chicago
Company March 12.
Th foiirt nnrt performance of
the Chicaeo Opera to be presented
in the coliseum the evening of
Tuesday, Mar. 12, not only includes
the annearance of Maria Jeritza
and Edith Mason, singers of inter
national note, but provides mem
ith their favorite roles. It will be
as Tosca in Puccini's opera and as
Marguerite in Gounod s long popu
lar masterpiece that Madame Jer
itza and Miss Mason will be heard
next month.
When in 1922 Mme. Jeritza
made hpr American debut in New
York City in the Metropolitan
opera House, sne was in iears oe
rause the directors insisted she
first appear io an opera. "The
Dead City," unknown at the time
in New York City.
Introduced in "Tosca."
"I never felt I had been prop
erly introduced to New York," she
has said since then, "until after I
had been heard there in the title
role of "Tosca."
Miss Mason had no longing to
do Marguerite in New York. "You
see," she explains, "all my roles
there bad been in the Italian
operas; and, if I had a favorite
part, it was the title role of
"Martha." I expected to fail there
as Marguerite, where they had a
great tradition as to all the roles
in Faust. But orders were orders
and what I wished to do didn't ai
the time matter to the directorate.
I'm glad the directors had their
way; for. when the curtain fell on
the garden scene, something in the
attitude of the cheering audience
told me that some of the cheers
were for me. Ever since, Mar
guerite has been my pet role, and
the beautiful garden scene my fa
vorite spot in all the operas in
which I have sung, not excepting
even 'La Traviata' in which I have
but recently made my first ap
pearance." She Likes Them All.
Coe Glade, third of the women
stars of the opera to appear at the
coliseum, states when asked as to
her favorite role and her pet opera,
"My favorite role is always what
ever role I'm singing; so logically,
the opera in which I am busy is
for the time my pet opera."
Directors of the Chicago Opera
tour have selected Giuseppe Ben
tonelli to take the part of Faust,
Myron Duncan to portray Tann
hauser and Cavarodoosi in "Tosca."
Carlo Morelli as Scarpia in "Tosca"
and Helen Oronstein as Seibel in
"Faust"

SHOW RUNS FOR WEEK
University Players Present
'There's Always Juliet' at
Temple Theater.
By MEREDITH OVERPECK.
Margaret Carpenter and
Dwight Perkins may have pre
sented John V a n d r u t e n 's
"There's Always Juliet" to a
Xew Y o r k audience at the
opening night show of the latest
University Players, Monday eve
ning, for no Broadway first night
could be given with any more vim
vigor. The brilliant romance was
clever, with witty lines and smart
dialogues.
One set, a beautifully furnished
drawing room of green, gold and
white color schemes, was used
thruout the play. Many of the
furnishings were from the home
and shop of Victor Krause. One
hand carved chair valued over
$150.00 is only one of the elabo
rated properties used in the pro
duction. The background for the
set was hand painted by Don
Friedly, the stage designer and
technician who designed the set
tings. The entire furnishings are
in the French design, and one of
the more outstanding ever used in
a production in the Temple theater.
Unusual Play.
The romance between "Leonora
Tettycoste" an aristocratic Eng
lish girl and "Dwight Houston," a
young American architect with the
unwanted English suitor thrown
in, is the background of the story.
Altho there is not set plot as
many plays have, the entire play
Is kept going by the ultra-sophisticated
dialogue". The author has
written one of the most unusual
and chic plays of recent years, and
it takes competent actors to put it
over.

will meet in the Grand hotel at

speeches: "Politician and Modern
Problem of Government" by Pro
fessor Lane Lancaster of the Po
litical Science department: "Some
General Remarks on Relativity"

ment. Those wishing to attend may

lik's office. Plates are 40 cents.
Best Service Given Through
National Organization,
Says New Yorker.
Advocating the organizing of a
national engineering society, John
P. Hogan of New York City told
275 dinner guests at the fifth an
nual Nebraska Engineers' Round
up at the Cornhusker hotel that
the engineering profession should
give to the public their advice as
to the feasibility of certain engi
neering projects sponsored by per
sons who know nothing about en
gineering. Too many people today,
he said, are advocating power, ir
rigation or conservation projects
that are not practical.
"In order that the engineers
might render their best service
they should organize into one na
tional oiganization, the consulting
engineer stated. "Also all engi
neers should hold membership in
their respective national societies
in order that they might identify
themselves with and become influ
ential in the profession."
Governor Cochran announced his
support for the bill now before the
legislature that would require the
state licensing of engineers and
architects. He said he would re
ceive great pleasure in signing the
bill if it passed the legislature
which he hopes it does. The gov
ernor also related that much of the
money spent on recovery and un
employment projects is going
through the bands of the engineer
ing profession since this type of
work gives the most employment
per dollar spent.
John Latenser, jr., state PWA
engineer, urged the formation of a
permanent state planning board
which is to be supported by the
legislature. The present planning
board is a good one, he said, but
there is great need for such a
board as the present one to be
permanently organized.

NORRIS DEPLORES
PRESENT SYSTEM
INI
AW BULLETIN
Prof. Senning Writes for
February Issue of State
Bar Magazine.
"The New Civilization" is the ti
tle of Senator George W. Nonis'
article featuring the February edi
tion of the Nebraska Law Bulle
tin, official organ of the Nebraska
State Bar association, which was
released from the presses Monday.
Deploring the present stiuation
with "food rotting in numberless
storehouses and millions of our
people starving for something to
eat," Senator Norris advocates
two principle measures to nail me
present-day decline. First he pro
poses shorter hours anu nigner
wages for laborers when others in
the same factory are replaced by
iron slaves. Instead of turning
over the excess profits gained by
the addition of machinery to his
working men, the manufacturer
pockets it and thereby throws
many out of work.
Advices Inheritance Tax.
Secondly the senior senator from
Nebraska advises a progressive in
heritance tax which would make it
impossible for the property of one
generation to be passed on intact
to the people of a succeeding gen
eration. This tax, he believes, is the
least injurious to anyone and
would go farthest in preventing a
monopoly of wealth. In these two
remedies lies the goal of "life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happi
ness." which our forefathers in
tended. Senator Norris says.
Setting fort'.i the principles of
the work of those lawyers who
serve the unfortunate who can not
afford to hire legal aid, John S.
Bradway. professor of law, Duke
university, Durham, North Caro
lina, has written a discussion en
titled "The Growth of Legal Aid
Work."
Senning Writes.
In the Bar Association section
of the magazine. John P. Senning,
professor of political science com
ments on the main facts or "me
One-House Legislature in Ne
braska." The other article in this
section is written by Quincy
Wright, professor of international
law. at the University of Chicago,
who answers the question as to,
"Where the League of Nations
Stands Today."
Also in the student section are
found news of the law school,
notes, and recent cases. The main
discussion in the notes has been
comjosed by W. Merrill Whitman,
student editor-in-chier. on the re
cent martial law cases in Minne
sota. The magazine is published quar

"For many years the problem
of securing necessary buildings to
house the increasing student popu
lation at the University of Ne
braska, a state institution sup
ported by state and federal funds,
has been acute," declared the
chancellor. "Xew buildings which
were erected have been outgrown
while still new. Old buildings no
longer suitable for use have been
continued in service because of the
impossibility of securing new and
more suitable buildings."
Cut Request Half.
Although a list of needed build
ings has been set up which total
approximately $5,000,000. a re
quest is bring made for less thnu
half this amount, which would be
apportioned as follows:

Requests of the legislature for
classroom buildings have been
made in each bienium for the last
six years by tne regents of the uni
versity, but no building appropria
tion has been received within that
time except for a women's dormi
tory and a joint heating and power
plant for the state capitol and the
university. In the budget tor the
year 1934-35 is set up an expendi
ture for salaries, operation and
maintenance of $2,894,345.80. The
enrollment numbered 10,738 stu
dents last year. This year there
has been an increase of 13 percent
on the Lincoln campuses.
In regards ot the need for a new
library. Chancellor Burnett pointed
out that the present building is 40
years old. having been erected in
1891-95. When it was built, there
were 1,500 students enrolled, and
now there are nearly 11,000.
Library Inadequate.
Housing only 100,000 of their
290,000 volumes, the present li
brary has books stored in 27 dif
ferent places on the campus. Many
of those in storage are not avail
able for use. The reading rooms
and study rooms seat about 35ti
persons at one time, while the
chancellor believes that thev
should provide capacity for about
2,000 persons at one time. The
new University hall is intended to
in part replace old University hall
and Nebraska hall, both of which
are old fire hazards and unsafe
for use, the chancellor stated. The
proposed building would house ro
mance languages, journalism ar.d
publications, conservation and soil
