'Dance recital art not
leg show' says critic
BV LUCILLE THOMAS.
"Leg show" isn't the correct de
scription for the Orchesis recital
after all. "Art is mort apt. .
Topping the show was "Black
Shadows" an interpretation of the
negro as composed and danced by
Betty Groth and Betty Mueller.
Outstanding lor feeling, the
three movements expressed the
melancholy religion of the "Deep
South," and of the childish glee
of Harlem as well as the element
abandon of rhythm of the primi
tive savages. Accompaniments
for "Black Shadows" were only
the mournful intoning of "Deep
River," handclaps for the Harlem
ites, and nothing but the stamp of
feet in savage beat for the primi
tive.
Kady praises surrealist.
Miss Kady Faulkner, sitting in
the front row, thought that the
"Lobster at Midnight," surrealism
act, had by far the moat "uinph"
of the entire performance. The
audience howled in glee. Added
attractions not in rchearrl: three
wheeling Tarzan ladies instead of
two, the huge flowing mop of Tat
Pope s hair let loose, and a dizzy
sign waved by someone baclnaitge
Great force In arm movements
characterized most of the dancing
done by the Bctt 3 Groth am
Mueller. Example!., the pugna
cious movements oi the primitive
savage, the "Hell" salutes in Miss
Groth's "Imperialism," which was
also characterized with a modi
fied goose Htep and a great seri
ousness of purpose, and the fren
zied movements of Mi3s Mueller in
her solo, "The Desolate." A dif
ference in the two girls dancing:
Betty Groth's movements are more
aubtle, Betty Mueller's more baan
doncd. Leave out step.
The flowing rhythm and calcu
lated movement of the Strauss
waltz was still lilting. Disappoint
ment: They left out the intricate
little step that we've been practic
ing ever since dress rehearsal.
Frceding the waltz, th advanced
class did 'Trelude" to a startling
accompaniment of drums gourds,

non-interference from
Railway commission
A modified form of 'the Student
Council's intercampus bus rate re
duction proposal will be submitted
tomorrow to the hoard of directors
of the Lincoln Traction company
by E. R. Heiny, vice president and
general manager of the firm. If
passed, the change will be the
first milestone in the councils
fight to improve bus service be
tween ag campus and the city
campus.
Unable, after thoro investiga
tion, to meet the request for a
5 cent rate, Ileiny has offered a
reduction of approximately 20 per
cent, lowering the cost of fare
checks from 3 for 25 cents to
for 20 cents. An attempt will also
be made to reroute the busses so
that they will leave each campus
shortly after classes are dismissed
at each hour.
Council fights on.
F. A. Good of the state rail
way commission yesterday reaf
firmed his previous statement that
"unless some unforeseen objection
is raised, the commission will not
hinder the reduction of rates on
intercampus busses. The commis
sion must pass on every change
ir. rates or routes of the Traction
company before it can be put into
effect. "We shall not stop with
this achievement," said Art Hill
chairman of the Council Bus com
mittee, after a conference with
Heiny, "but will fight until we get
a system satisfying our original
plans."

We're very glad to welcome
the DAILY NEBRASKAN, and
we wish you could come out to
this campus oftener. The two
campuses are coming closer and
closer together, I'm sure, and I
believe that is a good thing.
What we've always needed,
of course, is some means of
making transportation between
the campuses more convenient
and less expensive. I am heart
ily in accord with any plan that
will make that possible, and I
am glad to note that students
have taken the initiative and
have actually stirred up wide
spread interest in improved bus
service.
From all appearances, the
Farmers' Fair will be one of
the largest and finest fairs we
have had in many- years.
For one thing, the weather
has been very good (knock on
wood). If it holds out, we
know we will have the largest
attendance of recent years.
For another thing, we have
elaborate plans for tf-e Fair.
The board this year seems un
usually encouraged; the re
sponse of the students has been
especially enthusiastic. We're
planning a great celebration.

BY CHRIS PETERSON.
With that come hither look In
her eyes, the row sauntered past
with full hips swaying as if pushed
from side to side by the gentle
little zephyrs. She was the cow
belle of the campus.
I went over to the bam and
stalled around until she came in.
After exchanging lusty "moos," I
began by Interview.
"Where were you born?" I
asked.
Beaming, she answered, "I Was
a test lube cow!"
Not desiring to go into the finer
points of such cxpoi imonis, I
asked, "What was the most vivid
experience In your life?"
"Well, it was just a year ago
that three unscrupulous individ
uals attempted to kidnap me. As
I was about to be carried away,
the campus cop came to my
rescue. i wo ot the thugs got
away, but the other one was left
holding the bag."
"Are you niurried?" 1 queried,
hoping that she wasn't.
"Oh, yes, I was."
At that moment, in dashed the
family's little cowl.t, "junUv."
1 lis mother turned and repri
manded him jeveu'iy, paying,
"Shut the d.'or, J inii.r. lvopie
will think you were born In u
barn!"
Vvei;, I left. I didn't seem to
be getting any place.
Hens poor hostesses.
Over at the poultry barn, the
hens treated me very rudely. V hey
called me a "Cluck," so I felt hurt
and left. I didn't like their yokes.
From a lamb, I obtained a ;nost
stirring interview.
Question: "What do you think
of Hitler?"
Ansvser: "Han!"
Question: "What do you think
of our foreign policy?"
Answer: "Bah!"
Desperate question: "Wh.-.t do
you think of Hcdy LaMarr?"
Answer: "Bah!"
