The Year's
Records.
l s spring, Ht least according to the calendar,
rolls around, inventory of the accomplishments
of tlK n "His organizations become the order of
the d "Ills year the records, as they are played
on t 1 - graph of publicity, sound none too
sweet to listening ears, if any.
Dipping at random in the conglomeration of
major campus activities, one pulls forth a disc en
titled the Interfraternity council, but one can hear
only scratchy noises with maybe an occasional sug
gestion that sweet music was meant to have been
recorded. In other words, the council has gone
through another year characterized by comparative
inactivity.
Specifically the council has accomplished the
following tasks this year: "
1. Took charge of new rushing rules insti
tuted by last year's council.
2. Planned the Interfraternity ball.
3. Protested high rate for fraternity sec
tions in the Cornhusker.
4. Appointed a committee to handle ar
rangement for the Interfraternity banquet.
Altogether it is not a very imposing record. In
fact, one not acquainted with the campus might
have grounds to inquire about reasons for the exis
tence of such a body. And then the proud Nebras
ka man would have to explain patiently that the In
terfraternity council is a group made up of repre
sentatives from each fraternity house on the cam
pus; that it is sort of a governing body over the fra
ternities; that it sponsors two social affairs each
year, but that as yet no one else has been able to
discover much use in the council.
The Daily Nebraskan is not denying that there
is a place for such an organization on the campus,
but it is stating that as it stands now there seems
little Justification for it. Surely, the council can
find something to do besides sponsor a ball and a
banquet.
For many years the council has been a favorite
subject for criticism, mainly on similar grounds.
That criticism culminated last year in reorganiza
tion so as to do away with political maneuvering
which, it was claimed, was one of the factors keep
ing the council in its proverbial state of inactivity.
It was also said that if older men occupied the coun
cil seats, the wisdom of age woujd move them to act.
Developments have shown, however, that re
organization, as It was effected, was not the needed
medicine, for there has been no noticeable change,
except that the officers are no more elected in fac
tion meetings. The next obvious move is toward
another reorganization which would incorporate
some of the features of the old style group.
Whether those who would keep the campus free
from all politics like it or not, the chance for politi
cal advancement is one of the best spurs with which
to prod a person to action. Seniors, who now serve
as council representatives, have nothing to gain.
They have either arrived or they haven't. They have
no interest. Someone will bring up interest in wel
fare of the house or of the campus, but that again
is something which does not seem to exist.
It seems, therefore, advisable that there should
be a provision to place juniors back on the council,
at least during their second semester of that year.
They still have something to gain, a name to make.
Albeit somewhat artificial, political ambitions will
act as a goad.
Thus, If the council can get around to clearing
away the important rushing rules legislation now
pending, it might devote a little thought to its own
organization. That is, if members can keep inter
ested long enough.

CEHIANTS
BY CHANCE.
More and more compliments are
being heard from every side, con
cerning the last University Players
show. The best talent from the
dramatics department has been
merged into a great cast. As the
villainous old husband, Armaria
Hunter closes his career of a Uni
versity Player in a difficult role.
His characterization is superbly
done, and with the closing of this
play, the campus will have lost a
valuable Player. Two of the best
characterizations played c.n the
stage here this season are played
by Veronica Villnave and Margaret
Carpenter. "Molly" will be back
with the Players next season, but
this is Veronica's last year. These
two young ladies are equally at
home as a smartly groomed hero
ine or a middle ageo aunt and old
family retainer. Orchids to both
"Verori" and "Molly."
Seldom do the members of a cast
really play a musical instrument
on the stage themselves. Usually,
there is a double backstage some
where. However, in the current
show.'The Dark Tower," two of
the cast really play the piano.
Clare Wolf, the young playwright,
plays "Liebestraum," "There's a
Long, Long Trail a Winding" and
as a request from Margaret
Straub, the hard-boiled actress,
"Daphne Martin," "Stormy Weath
er." One really ought to hear
"Marg" and Clare sing "Stormy
Weather." It greatly upsets the
aunt in the play (Veronica), and
nearly brings down the house. A
certain little A. O. Pi seemed quite
happy to have a friend in the cast,
and the young man seemed very
happy to be able to play the part
of the young playwright. Clare
was also in "Yellow Jack." Marg
Straub flirts her way into a part
in Clare's play, and gets him to
increase her part, and at the same
time, is supposedly Damon Wells'
(Pete Sumption's) girl friend.
The two white rats used in the
play are cute little creatures.
We're wondering if they are the
same two animals that Era Lown
once had over at the dramatics de
partment, locked up in a desk.
Speaking of Era, he hurried over
from the R. O. T. C. banquet to
take part in the play Wednesday
evening, and as the Inspector of
police, succeeds in getting his
daughter's play before Jessica
Wells, the great actress (Elizabeth
Betzer), even if he doesn't succeed
in solving the murder of her hus
band. Elizabeth, known to her
friends as "Dixie," plays her diffi
cult role well, and looks exceed
ingly charming in her smart suits
and graceful evening gowns. An
other old standby who wears tux
edos and light gray suits well, is
Melvin Fielder as the Impresario,
in love with Jessica. Fielder can
always be called upon to give a
commendable performance, and
once more he has come through.
Harold Sumption gave a perfect
performance, and received perhaps
the largest number of "hands." As
Damon Wells, brother of the act
ress Jessica. Pete created just the
right role. His part, that of a fine
director and "perhaps the greatest
actor on the American stage," was
done in his usual professional way.
Damon Wells was a character who
spent half his time directing and
helping his sister with her career,
and the remainder of his time
drunk, in Hollywood or with some
one like "Daphne Martin" (Marg
Straub). He was from a theatri
cal family, and his carefree man
ner and theatrical ability makes
him especially well adapted for the
part.
Miss H. Alice Howell, head of
the dramatics department, an
nounced during intermission that
Hart Jenks, a former member of
the dramatics department, would
be present here for a week in
"Julius Caesar" as a post-season
production. The remainder of the
cast will be composed of members
from the department and former
Players. It will open April 29 for
six performances.

The Michigan Daily produced
the following gem as having been
discovered in the editorial office of
the Brown university student pub
lication. It is here reproduced as a
grim warning against composing
such classics and then leaving
them where news sleuths are:
"Dear Dad:
Just a line to tell you I've a
swell professor who says A's aren't
Important to success at all. You
know, Dad, Einstein once flunked
out in math.; it just goes to show,
Dad, what a racket this marking
business is. The profs select pets
and you can't beat it. If a fellow
doesn't wear smoked glasses and
stoop like a longshoreman under
a stalk of bananas, he doesn't
stand a show.
I'm sort of conscientious objec
tor, Dad; I think if you get the
worth of the course, exams don't
matter. They're just a grind that
weakens your eyes and your
health, and Mums is always warn
ing me about that. Travel broad
ens, but study thinnens.
Trot's can't correct all the papers
in large courses, so they just give
out what they think you deserve,
and if you haven't agreed with
them in everything you don't stand
a chance. But I was always like
you, Dad, I stood up and objected
In anything seemed wrong to me
. . . Well, so long, and love to
Mums . . .
By the way, Dad, you'll find my
last semester grades enclosed."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Apr. 11.
Massachusetts colleges presented a
united front this week in protesting
the move that would require an
oath of allegiance to the constitu
tion by all school and college teach
ers.
Presidents of all Massachusetts
colleges, including Dr. James B,
Conant of Harvard, Dr. Carl T.
Compton of Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology and Dr. Ada U
Comstock of Radcliffe, numbering
thirty-five in all, were scheduled
to appear this week before a legis
latlve committee at the state house
to demand that the oath bill be do
feated.
The hearing marked the first
time that Dr. Conant ever ap
peared before any political body to
argue on any bill.
The present controversy, Har
vard officials state, is not unlike
the one that preceeded the found
ing of Harvard college. Oaths of
allegiance were required at the
English universities Oxford and
Cambridge.
Harvard, it is pointed out, has
been instrumental in establishing
the tradition that American edu
cation should be free from aca
demic and religious oaths a Har
vard tradition which dates back to
Puritan days.
Harvard's faculty, 1,750 strong,
assertedly are unanimously opposed
to the passage of legislation which
would require that they pledge not
to teach contrary to the constitu
tion.
"I am unable to see why our
loyalty should be questioned in this
way," one faculty member assert
edly stated.

one of the most famous and most
popular singers of the country,

be intensely interesting especially
to all native born Nebraskans
