ficials when plans for the structure
were presented. The U't percent of
the cost was to be financed by
the athletic department.
Building to Include Field House.
According to plans, the building
would provide complete training
quarters, equipment storage fa
cilities, locker rooms, showers,
team rooms, and classrooms for
the major sports. The building
would also include a small field
house, DO by 12.1 feet with 35
Wt headroom, without posts and
with a dirt floor where practice
for the outdoor sports may he held
In inclement weather.
Two Story Building.
The new building would not en
close the north end of Memorial
stadium as many believe. The
structure would adjoin directly
the new athletic fields just north
of the stadium. A tunnel would
connect the proposed structure
with the indoor track beneath the
cast stadium.
Plans call for a two story build
ing with the same sweeping win
dows and tower units that dis
tinguish the main stadium, and
in the center of the front of the
building would be a permanent
clock and scoreboard for the gird
games. The first floor lay-nit
would include seven handball
courts.
Young Sees
Farm Future
Form Week Closes
On Optimistic Note
In spite of drouth, low prices
and loss of markets, speakers at
Organized Agriculture sessions
Thursday held out hopes for better
times for farmers.
Dr. K. C. Young, Purdue univer
sity economist, said that there
was more future for farmers in
the cornbelt than "only to make
the best of a h;ul mess." If prices
follow the trend history shows, wc
will soon have higher prices on the
farm."
He cautioned against panicky
selling, over-opt imistic expansion
and "radical changes in farming
programs.
His optimism was echoed by A.
G. George, extensionisl who dis
cussed the Nebraska farm pros
pect for lncil and by Prof. H. C.
Filley, chairman of rural econom
ics at the college.
Dr. Filley told the 1.000 assem
bled farmers that production and
thrift not inflation or deflation de
termine the wealth of the nation.
"Wealth consists of cattle, coin,
highways, books and bathtubs. A
nation may be wealthy tin a high
price level or a poor price level -or
it may be poor under either of
those conditions.'
Horticulturists and the State
Dairymen's association elected new
officers during the day. Sessions of
the farm week program end Fri
day with a mass meeting in the
Student Activities building.
Players Stage Crews Strive
To Create Unnoticeable Sets
Delford Brummer Aims
for Unity of Effect
To create a stage setting that
will heighten the eerie atmosphere
of "Night Must Fall," the next
production of the University Tlay
ers, Is the task of Delford Brum
mer, stage designer, construction
director, technician, and Instructor
In the speech department. How he
goes about it is an interesting
story few Players fans know.
Paradoxically, Mr. Brummer
considers no notice of his sets the
most favorable criticism possible.
The entire plav Is aimed at unity
of effect, and if the set is notice
ably outstanding, then something
is wrong, either with the set or
with the play.
Director, Designer Confer.
The first step In production Is
a conference between the director,
designer, technician. The director,
Miss Howell, decides what aspect
of the play will be emphasized and
lets the others know what she has
In mind.
To discover the physical require
ments of the set, the designer then
reads tho play and plans the set
ting, bringing in colors that will
fit the required mood and the dia
logue. A wnter-eolor sketch Is
made for Miss Howell's approval

Puppeteering of Tony Sarg
Marionette Fan Sees
'Master' Perform Often
Tony Sarg's coming appearance
at the Union Sunday was of
especial interest to Miss Ma rjorie
Shanafelt, member of the museum
staff. For Miss Shanafelt is an
enthusiastic puppeteer herself and
thinks very highly of Mr. Sarg's
knowledge of mid skill with mar
ionettes. Miss Shanafelt has seen a great
deal of Sarg's work. Aniout 12 or
15 years ago, she saw his "All I
Ma ha and the Forty Thieves"
which he brought to Lincoln, His
show was "an inspiration to any
body," Miss Shanafelt Inter carried on
a correspondence with him, saw
him again at the Chicago World's
Fair where crowds flocked to see
his novelty acts, and next, at the
First World Conference of Pup
peteers at Detroit in 193H where,
she related, 1,000 members gave
him the highest honor then ex
istant. the title of Master Pup
peteer. Showman-Artist.
In speaking of Tony Sarg, Miss
.Shanafelt has nothing but the
strongest praise. Said she, "Me is
everything phenomenal and in

showman. He is recognized as de

In the meantime, rehearsals get

one of the rehearsals. The prop
crew selects the costumes to har

technician plans how he will light

Uncanny Effect.
To create the particular un
canny effect desired for "Night
Must Fall," Mr. Brummer has
used somber, subdued browns.
Horizontal lines are emphasized In
windows and doors and overhead
beams to "weight down" the at
mosphere for mystery. Since all
action of the play takes place
within an English cottage, the
flats are painted to resemble
rough plaster and board walls.
Explaining the importance of
color in the setting, the designer
pointed out that cool greens nnd

Becker Discusses
Child Welfare
Social Work Majors
Hear Bureau Chairman
Speaking at the monthly lunch
eon held yesterday noon at the
Union by the social work majors,
Harry J. Becker, head of the Child
Welfare bureau, outlined the work
of the Child Welfare division as
it was set up under the Nebraska
board of control a year ago.
Becker described the bureau as
being composed of four units: the
crippled children's service unit, the
child welfare unit, the institutional
service unit, and the child welfare
service unit. These divisions care
for both the routine and the spe
cial cases handled by the bureau.
"Our hope," said Becker, "is to
encourage the people to initiate
better community programs for
children, better juvenile court pro
cedure and more careful study of
the individual child before he is
committed to an Institution. He
also stated that one of the great
needs In child welfare work Is
more boarding home funds to be
used In the placement of depend
ent children.
Jennie Neill headed the com
mittee in charge of the luncheon.

U.S. Diplomat
To Address
Next Forum
Consul John Allison
To Speak at Student
Council Forum
Eleven years spent in the Far
East, eight of them in the United
States diplomatic service, is the
background of John M. Allison,
American consul at Nanking,
China, who will speak at the Stu
dent Council's second forum next
Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock In
room 315 of the Union.
Presenting an informal discus
sion of his experiences in the
orient, Mr. Allison promises his
listeners two things; first, that
he will keep the floor open for
questions at all times, and. (second,
that he will not enter into any
political discussion of the present
Chinese situation, inasmuch as
his official position precludes his
making"" any1 " oplni6natcd'"Blate-'
ments.
International 'Incident.'
Among the more conspicuous of
Mr. Allison's experiences is the
international "incident" which oc
curred in Nanking last January.
At that time he made headlines
by receiving a slap on the face
from a Japanese sentry who be
came angered when Allison and
another American refused to leave
a building from which they had
been ordered. An apology was
i made later ny Japanese officials
! for the uncalled-for insult.
I Allison graduated from the Uni
! versity of Nebraska in 1027 where
j he was a member of Acacia fra
i ternity. He spent the next two
years teaching in Japanese gov
j eminent schools. After a year as
, zone advertising manager for Gen
j eral Motors in Shanghai, ho en
tered the American consulate at
Shanghai in April of 1930.
I Home for a short vacation in
j 1932, he returned to Japan to oc
I cupy the position of vice consul
! at Tokyo until November. 1935.
At that time he entered the con
sulate at Daircn. Manchuria,
whore he remained until August,
1936. when he wont to Tsinnn,
capital of Shantung province in
north China.
Embassy Secretary.
A year later. Allison became an
American embassy secretary in
Nanking, where he remained tin
til his return to tho United States
in August of this year. Altho he
was on an inspection tour in the
north China at the time of the
Japanese occupation of Nanking.
Allison was in Shanghai on Dec.
12. 1937, when the disaster of the
sinking of tho Panay occurred,
and was kept busy for some time
with official business in connec
tion with the occurrence.
He was the first representative
of the American government to
return to Nanking following the
tak.ng of the city by the Japanese
and at that time he reopened the
embassy there.
Altho Allison's leave was origin
ally for about three months bo
succeeded in having it extended
another month to enable him to
spend Christmas in Lincoln with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. J.

Francisco on the 30th to return
to cither China or Japan.
