While it view may sometimes coincide uith those of the administration, they are not to be taken as hating either its approval or disap proval. More Names y Needed. AN URGENT PLEA that 1,000 more students add their names to the Student Union petitions has been Issued by the executive committee. It is im perative that those names be added at once as the petitions are soon to go to the Board of Regents. The advantages of a Union building are almost so obvious that they hardly need explanation. Es pecially on the Nebraska campus, decentralized as to activities and spirit as it is, is the need of a Union building paramount. .1 Main floor plans published Sunday show pio isions for a large dining room, office space, and .1 H.;tU amnio tlnnr anBPP fnr ftll bllt the '."most extravagant of social functions. Plans of the othw floors call for a cafeteria, more lounges and recreation rooms, publication offices, and several assembly halls. A contrast of this with the present arrangement for activities serves to show the crying need for a Union. There Is at the present time no place for ; banquets and luncheons to be held on the campus. Downtown hotels and restaurants are raking off ' the gravy tnat rightfully should go to the unjver- sity. Added to this is the Inconvenience of trailing off downtown for such functions. The only thing that the university now possesses ' in the way of a ballroom is the barnlike Coliseum. It Is totally unfit for the smaller all-school parties. Fraternities and sororities are forced to give their I formals in down town hotels because of lack of space, or rather too much space, on the campus. The lack of a suitable eating place for luncheon or & quick lunch between classes is another pet gripe. The old Temple cafeteria, although much criticized, was well patronized by both faculty and students. At the present time the publications offices are located in the dirty and inadequate cellars of Uni versity Hall; alumni offices are in the Temple building; lounging and loafing is necessarily dono in "caking Joints"; meetings are held everywhere from Social Science auditorium to the third floor rooms of the Temple building; both faculty and students are without adequate recreational facilities. DESPITE all this the characteristic apathy of the campus still pervades the atmosphere. Signers for the petitions have been comparatively few and far between. And the deadline approaches without a sufficient indication of support for the committee to place before the Board of Regents. This support Is vitally necessary to the project. The university Is not going to erect a building, avowedly for the use of the student body, unless there is a demand for that building from the stu dent body. This is especially true since, In order to help pay for the project, a fee will be placed on students. Any objection to that fee seems ridiculous and unfounded. Undoubtedly in some cases it might take a little extra scraping to raise that $3 at reg istration time. But to offset that charge are the benefits to be derived from the Union by every student on the campus. One thousand signatures are needed at once. With a student body of approximately 4,500 It is decidedly peculiar that only 2,000 have affixed their names to the petition. Unless the quota set by the committee Is reached, the campus Is likely to lose again its opportunity for the long-needed Union building. . SIGN THE PETITIONS. A Sane Vieu. A SANE VIEW of the fraternity-barb situation was set forth recently by the president of the Inter-Club council. Rather than reviling the fra ternities and sororities, as is characteristic of too many unaffiliated students, he admitted their de sirability. At the same time he also emphasized the necessity of organi2atlon for barbs so that they may play their part in extra-curricular activities. For many years a decidedly unhealthy situation existed on this campus. Fraternities were rightfully accused of holding exaggerated estimations of their own value and social position. The Greeks formed solid fronts in all activities, allowing no unaffiliated student to get in an oar. On the other hand the Barbs allowed themselves to meekly submit to the rough shod methods; or contented themselves with words and no action. During the past three years, however, a slow but definite change has been taking place. Fra ternities and sororities, faced with failure, began to come down out of the clouds. Individual greek students, beset with financial problems, woke up to the realization that unaffiliated students are after all human beings, and that practically the only dif ference between the two was in the size of the pocketbook. At the same time there arose a movement, aided and abetted by affiliated students, for organization of the barbs. Strange to say, most of the resistance to the movement came from within the barb ranks, but a few leaders were quick to take advantage of the opening. That movement has now resulted in the Inter Club council and the Barb A.W.S. Unaffiliated students have made their way into all activity, and they are not begrudged their positions. Sc . lines are disappearing. But as the Inter-Club coun cil president stated, these are just starters. Unaf filiated students, the majority of the campus popu lation, deserve a place in the campus spotlight It is for them to make their way. CMANTTS BY CHANCE. Contemporary Comment You Figure It Out. A few weeks ago the New York Post ran a puzzle which is still causing many a headache In Amer ica's metropolis. It was: The king wished to choose the wisest man in his country as pre mier. To do so, he told three of the wisest: 'Tm going to blindfold you and paint circles in red or blue on your forehead. When the bandages are removed, if you see a red circle anywhere, raise your right hand. When you have figured out the color of your own circle, lower the hand and the first to do that will be my premier." The king then blindfolded them, painted three red circles .allowed them to see again, watched the hands go up, and then saw me nana oi jur. Z descend How did Mr. Z know his circle was red? It took Walter Lippman twenty minutes to find the answer: Harry Nason. post managing editor, took six. One member of the Crimson White staff solved it in fifteen minutes, another in seventeen. The rest are still working on it. The Crimson White. WORLD PEACE RESTS ON OPEN MINDEDNESS WITHIN UNIVERSITIES (Continued from Page 1.) the greatest enemies of peace," Eichelberger explained. "He is ca pable of building up a war psy chology by consistently hammering his numerous readers with sensa tional headlines. The fear of war and the constant rehashing of what we are going to do when the next war comes builds up a fatal ism which makes war a certainty In the minds of a lot of people." "It is my personal opinion," he declared, "that this nation cannot stay out of the next armed con flict. The world and the interests of every nation are bound together in a world community by inter national trade interests, by air transportation, and by the radio. However, if we could stay out of the next war, which we are of course trying to prevent, we would "Ladies of the Jury," the Fred Ballard clay which will be a post season offering of the University Players, will be alven two per formances only, on Thursday and Friday evening, May 23 and Z4. This Is the third revival of the play here at the Temple theater, and one of Miss H. Alice Howell's fa vorite plays. As In the past, the leading role, that or "Mrs. Living stone Baldwin Crane," a society matron, will be played by Miss Howell. The play centers around the court room, with the members of the Jury taking character roles. On this jury are all the various types often found on real juries. Hart Jenks will play the part of a Scotchman, "Andrew Mac Kaig." Pete Sumption will be the Italian, "Tony Theodophulus," and Bob Reade, the jury foreman, "Jayn J. Presslev. Armand Hunter is to play "Steve Brown;" Melvin Field er. "Spencer B. Dazey" and Dwight rcrkins, "Aloneo." Mae Posey has been chosen to play the part of the toueh little ex-chorus girl, "Mayme Mixter;" Molly Carpenter, "Lily Pratt;" and Polly Gellatiy. "cyn thia Tate." Miss Howell, Nora Os borne as "Mrs. MacGuire," and Frances Brown as "Mrs. Dace,' are the other three Jury members who help keep the courtroom in an uproar. Waldemar Mueller will be "Judge Fiske" of the court, and Dwight Loder the clerk. Dorothy Zimmer will be "Mrs. Gordon;" Veronica Vlllnave, "Evelyn Snow; Clare Wolf. "Halsey Van stye; Sid Baker, "Rutherford Dale;" Era Lown, "Bill Dobbs;" and Roy Squire, "Dr. Quincy Adams James, Jr." a Often former University Players return to the scene of their trl umphs to star in current produc tions. This season several former players such as Hart Jenks, Dor othy Zimmer, Mary Kay McDon ald, and Jane MCLaugnnn nave re turned for various plays. One how' ever, who is returning for the first time since her graduation last year, is little Mae Pasey. This petite Player surpassed Jean Har low, according to some who saw the play, as the languorous blonde in the movie production While an active member of the Players, the diminutive Alpha Phi took a prominent role in "The First Mrs. Fraser." In that play, Mae happened to be the "second Mrs. Fraser," however. She also iayed opposite Hart Jenks in the Shakespearian play, "Road To Rome." In thl next show,' "Ladies of the Jury," Miss Posey is a gum chewing, slangy litt!e ex-chorus girl, "Mayme Mixter," who wins her way into, your hearts as well as Pete Sumption's. Before the play is ended, "Miss Mixter" and "Tony Theodolphulus" decide to aet married. Mae says she thinks ! "Mayme" is a "grand part," and if Mae likes a tning, iook out.: um of her special interests is tall bru nettes, but the funny part is, she usually appears with blonds! She also has a yen for lemon sours and radio broadcasting. At the pres ent time, when she isn't around the campus, she is broadcasting ,at KFOR. where she has a socia hour: As "Ladies of the Jury" is the last production to be presented this Students Offer Recital of Original Music Compositions, Arrangements Annunll-ir nricinnl eomrjositions by students in the theory department of the School of Music are presented at a student recital.

He says that the mutual assistance and non-aggression rates that have recently been signed in Europe are left open to Germany and any country signing them is not bound to anything that would be in viola tion to the covenant of the League. Mr. Eichelberger mentioned the recent situation between Jugo slavia and Hungary as one in which the League mediated with success. He stated that European diplomats proclaimed this state of affairs between Hungary and Jugoslavia to be more serious than the motivating situation of 1914. "Troops were already on the march, but both countries blew off their steam at Geneva and the ten sion was relieved," he said. Seniors of Princeton university (Princeton, N.
