Old Law
A campus catastrophe remini
scent of those old Law School
Engineer feuds was averted
Monday by quick, understanding
action by Dean Beutel of the Law
college, Dean Green of the En
gineering college and Fred Pelton,
publicity chairman of the Engin
eers' Week committee.
An unidentified group of stu
dents took down two engineers'
signs advertising Engineers Week
late Sunday evening and set them
up again on Dean Beutel's porch
in south Lincoln. Then they rang
his doorbell.
Picture Snapped
When Beutel opened his door,
the students snapped a flash pic
ture of the amazed dean clad in
his pajamas and robe. The en
gineers have the posters back and
they will be set up again in the
near future, according to Pelton.
Following is a statement by the
publicity chairman of Engineers'
Week:
Regret Embarrasment
"We regret the embarrassment
to Dean Beutel, but the publicity
value of the incident for Engin
eers' Week is much greater than
that of the two signs. As it is,
the signs have all been recovered
in usable condition and will be
put up again at a-later date. No
damage has been done as far as
the engineers are concerned. There
'is no evidence to indicate who
took the signs or the picture, but
as far as the Engineers weeK
comjrdttee is concerned, it makes
little difference. The whole inci-

accordance with the Farmers Fair
board decree for "Cotton and

checking proper garb. Notes re
porting saboteurs are being
passed in classes and being whis
pered from one student to another

Preview, Rates

BY SAM WARREN.
Operatic music in the glamor
ous form of tne one ana oniy
Metropolitan Opera company
comes to the Cornhusker campus
Wednesday for a single perform
ance of "Tosca" at the Coliseum.
And it comes courting student
favor on three counts, far be
yond the wildest dream of opera
fans.
Shoving aside as mere coinci
dence the fact that the world
renown company is performing
right on campus, the sponsors of
the affair, the Lincoln Symphony
Orchestra association, announced
these three developments.
Favors for Students.
1. "A Tosca' Preview" will be
presented at 3:30 p. m. today in
the Music Room of the Union
where the music activities com
mittee will play recorded selec
tions from the Puccini score.
Francis Rodinson, tour manager,
will provide program notes and
colorful history of the opera.
2. The Met will employ 35 stu
dents as ushers, admitting them
without charge and paying them
$1 for the evening. Ushers must
report at 7:30 p. m. for rehearsal
Tuesday and at 7 p. m. Wednes
day for the performance. Students
may register with Lawrence Tagg,
at the School of Music office.
Three Sections Open.
3. Three sections of the Coli
seum have been opened at a spe
cial student rate of $1.20, includ
ing tax, in an unprecented move,
according to Archie Furr, sym
phony board president. Because
the University Coliseum has the
largest seating capacity of any
house on the tour, the symphony
has persuaded the Met to offer
students the educational oppor
tunity of seeing a performance
which Denver fans paid $9 to
$12 for earlier this week in a
smaller hall.
Tickets may be purchased at
the Union, where reserved seats
in higher-priced sections will also
be available, according to Mrs,
Richard W. Smith, local manager
of the Met s first appearance here
since the turn of the century.
Starring with the 90-person
chorus and full orchestra of 88
pieces will be Regina ResnUc,
American soprano as Tosca; Jussi
Bjoerling, 37-year-old Swedish
tenor as Cavaradossi: John
Brownlee, Australian baritone as
Baron Scarpia, chief of police; and
Salvatore Baccaloni, comic basso,
as the Sacristan of the church.
Color Added.
Additional color will be added
to the performance by Miss
Resnik, who will wear for the
first time anywhere a new ward
robe which she designed for her
role of the opera singer, Floria
Tosca. Based upon authentic de
signs from the Napoleonic era,
the costumes include a green
velvet morning costume of man
jilsh design, with tailcoat with
deep cuffs, wide lapels and a gold
walking stick.
For the dramatic second act,
Miss Resnik wears a formal em
pire evening gown of eggshell
lame, encrusted with pearls and
rhinestones. Over her shoulders
she will wear a floor-length cape
of royal blue velvet with an elbow-length
over-collar of white
ermine.
