lO THE FACULTY COMMITTEE
ON STUDENT AFFAIRS:
The Junior-Senior prom committee, we unuer-kt.-iiid.
is in a tight spot, and aro seeking your
a.stii'-'.ee this afternoon when they petition for a
change in the date for their annual dance. Because
a rationally known orchestra if available at Satur
day. Man-h 6, tl:ey ask for the change.
It has been .i Nebraska tradition to close cer
tain nights for annual parties during the preceding
school year. It has been another tiadition that the
orchestras Nebraska obtains for its big- parties
have been g-eneially unsatisfactory, simply because
fie better bands were available, but not on the
scheduled night.
Last year, some twenty colleges t.nd univer
sities of the midwestern region met in Lincoln for
the district meeting of the National Student Fed
eration of America, and organized a central book
in; agency tor Big Six schools. It was through
this agency that the prom committee secured this
rame band, which will play for the Oklahoma prom
on Thursday, and at Kansas university on Friday.
Ey allowing the prom committee to change the
cate of their affair, your committee would be ac
complishing two things: a closed night procedure
that has long kept Nebraska's party bands in the
mediocre class would be discarded, and a co-operative
student agency to secure good orchestras, now
in its infancy, would be strengthened.
TO THE COED COUNSELLORS' BOARD:
We noted with interest the news item about
vour party Sunday, when some twenty-five coed
counsellors entertained some twenty little sisters
with gsrres and jolly fun.
Eut the thing that puzzles us is this: Coed
u.ur.s.-llors have the avowed purpose of extending
friendly greetings, assistance, and interest in thx
activities of new students, mostly unaffiliated. So
rority pledges, we understand, are given guidance
hy their sorority mothers. In view of the barb girl's
reeds, why is the governing board of the counsel
lors dominated by sororities?
Men students have been taught the sanctity
of women's activities since their freshman days.
To interpret the actions of any women's organiza
tion as "politics" has been held as heresy. But
don't you believe, in cultivating this organization
for political plums, that you're losing sight of your
purpose ?
TO UNAPFILIATED STUDENT?:
It. years past, the Daily Nebraskan maintained
ti.rec- distribution posts where copies of Sundays
Dailv Nebraskan could be obtained on the date of
publication. For a jaunt of a few blocks to the
corner drug More, students not living in organized
nouses could read the news of the campus one day
earl.er.
Last year, these special attribution agencies
were discontinued because too few waders called
lor copies. Would you be interested in reinstating
this .service? A note to the Nebraskan office will
do the trick. You might add any comments on the
advisability of looking for more central daily dis
tribution stands than the Temple.
TO MISS NOLTE AND MR. GOULD.
The rumor you heard about Critic Howard,
Mr. Gould, was well founded. He did see only the
last act of the play. Reversing, we take it, the cus
tom of New York critics who walk out after the
first act. But any observer could tell from audi-
nee reactions of one act alone That they were
laughing at, and not crying with the production.
"Lost Horizons" as Critic Howard say it on
the Temple stage was a rewritten version of "Lost
Horizons'' as John Hayden wrote it for the New
York stage and as Critic Howard read it. Three
scenes were identical: the theme of Presbyterian
predestination was the same; but the paralysis cure
took the place of writing a theatrical masterpiece.
The Nebraskan believes that the University
Players is one of the few cultural activities on the
campus, and always will, as it always has, support
its efforts. Because almost every Nebraskan review
in the past had been a plug for the show, good or
bad. this staff has adopted a policy of honest re
porting on the theory that truth will do the Play
ers more uood than harm in the long run.
The flaghead on this page reads "Fair Com
ment and Criticism." That phrase is found in
newspaper libel law, and represents the standard
for which both reporters and critics strive for. Mr.
Howard was honest in his criticism. He gave credit
to the actors, but could see no good reason for
producing a play which required, for successful
production, a property which the Players do not
have a revolving stage. The quality of the play,
in his opinion, hardly justifies production in the
face of suh a disadvantage.
In some places, producers use public opinion,
as partially reflected by newspaper comment, to ad
vantage in selecting future plays. At Nebraska,
they merely resent it. Eut resent or no, the Ne
braskan will continue to strive for honest reporting,
which it conceives as the first duty of a newspaper.

TO LAWRENCE MCENEY JONES:
You heard those seven thousand fans cheering
during the half of the basketball game last night.
They were cheering for victory. But the thoughts
of victory weren't inspired by the scoreboard: with
Kansas State on the lorg end of a 19-16 tally, pros
pects for victory Monday night were anything but
rosy. Their cheers for victory, Mr. Jones, were
provoked by haunting mental recollections of crisp
November air. frosty gridiron turf, and Cornhusker
speed and stamina on trial. So when you said "Fel
low Cornhuskers,'' it's no wonder they gave seven
thousand lusty cheers to indicate that you spoke
their language. Nebraska is a great football coun
try, and any coach that asks for support will get
it in traditional Cornhusker style.
Welcome to Nebraska. Fellow (.'ornhuskei
SiudsmL
TO THE EDITOR:
We re laughing! At what are we
Uighirg? We're laughing at the
Nebraskan s alleged critic for the
current play of the University
Players.
Does the person who wrote
Tuesday's article in regard to
the play classify as a critic? The
best way to find that out it to
get the definition of a critic.
Since Mr. Webster it an author
ity for definitions of words for
English classes, we will use hit
meaning here. He says that a
critic is "One who expresses a
judgment on any matter with
repct to itt value, truth,
beauty, etc.; especially, one
skilled in judging the meritt of
literary or artistic works; also,
opprobiously, one given to harsh
or captious judgment." In case
Mr. Howard dee not know the
meaning of the word "opprobi
ously," I will tell htm it meant
offenswe, insulting insolent, or
vulgar.
For !i,-i;iM' th- VmveiMty
Players have lin bucking ad-rs-
t'-l:iig there has beer, lack
of ':p;.ort all way round - teacher-
),ae laiigh"d at them and
the.r productions, and students
have ie!d but a mild interest. This
year th:.s feeling has been decreas
"u.g and tnru the efforts of the
Tas l: more players tickets were
fold than ever before. The Speech
Department with its outlet in the
University Players is as much of
tnis ir.titutjon as the School of
Journalism v.-uh its outlet in the
Daily N"brafk&n and the players
ds'rve the fame support and con-t-trurtive
criticism that the other
groups get. Yes, we grant that we
T.eerj iriticu-m. no one is prefect,
but must it aiways be destructive
and written with a negative at
titude' The players appreciate
criticism because it helps to build
the play. Former reporters who
had the University Players as their
l-at .could attend the entire per
formance and vry often would
come back stajje to .-c just what
was going on. Our present "critic'
seems to need i. either such founda
tion for his opinion. We suppose he
either was too bored or hadn't time
to notice the settings.
Mr. Howard condemned the per
sons who cut the play. In reality
very little from the play was cut
and this original version of the
play never appeared on any New
York stage. So we suggest the re
porter read the correct tcript.
We thank Mr. Howard for the
E he gave the "boys and girls,"
but we don't, little boy, give you
an E for your effort. If the play
died in itt early scene, perhapt
that explaint the retton tome
patront were forced to reach for
their handkerchiefs, but what of
the following tcenet when they
responded with tuch hearty ap
plause? How, little boy, do you
explain that? Or were you ttill
there?
We. still laughing, return the
"li ghtly shopworn gardenia" to
you, Mr. Howard, to whom it is
more suited, because it looked
tragically out of place among; the
many fresh gardenias that the pa
trons of Monday night presented
Miss Peterson.
VIRGINIA NOLTE.
: !- itiri-m
Of 'IyOit Ilorion.
To The Editor:
Being but an humble student of
the speec'i uepartment. and hav
ing had no participation in the
production ct "Lost Horizons"
whatever, I feel justly qualified
in rerriticizing the rank flouting
which Mr. Howard seems to have
! 'predc-ntinedly" flung" at the Mon
day evening produ-tion in fne
Temple theater.
Mr. Howard, no doubt, started
1 on the rifhteout path to better
journalism by first reading the
play which he wat to cover.
But, being obviously unfamiliar
! with the tatk, by fair cr foul,
he ttumbled on the wrong teript.
' For the benefit of Mr. Howa'd
! and the Nebratkan readert may
I point out that the play thit
i week it not a "Playert version
-1
but is the original script of thts
original author, and was not in-
tended to be anything timilar to
j the Broadway or the Burns
Mantle vertion!
I Perhaps 1 am old f a.hi..neJ, but
some hidden instinct leads me to
believe that to give a thorough
review of a production, the said
land same should be first viewed,
j There is a rather nasty rumor and
also direct evidence that this re
porter did not arrive at the Tem
ple theater until n.ore than one
half of the show had been played.
Considering, therefore, that Mr.
Howard did not preread the cor
rect script, and saw but one-half
of the production, I object rather
vigorously io the use of the word
; "critic" in the headline topping
his article.
But casting aside the viva
cious report and viewing the
' play as a sane and normal per
' ton, I believe it falls in the
j "mustt" of the theater goert
' repertoire. The changing of
1 tcenery wat undoubtedly a trifle
slow, but contidering the .arge
i number of sets necessary, and
the limited facilities which the
university administration hat
, teen fit to furnish the tpeech
j department, I believe the thift
. ing was well executed and will
' be noticeably tpeeded up for the
( remaining performances
I A whole garden of gardenias
should b showered upon Mifct
Peterson and Mr. Rider, with spe
cial recognition to Miss Eleanir
Corr.pt w., M.S8 Portia Boynton.
and many others.
Deep praise is also due the
I sponsors and a npe Bronx cheer
,to Mr. Howard he needs it.
I I might add, lest some be in an
j evil frame of mind, this article is
'entirely voluntary, and prompted
jonly by valian. martj'rdom, not
; by other members or by the fac
ulty of the speech department.
