A complete program of military music has been prepared which "will Incorporate into it all the bugle calls in ordinary use In military circles. "The exact connection between the various calls and the music for the' dancing haB not been announced but will appear "upon examination of tho printed programs for the evening, which will in their turn be distinc tively military in'make-up. , Decorations will be war-like in the extreme and the chairman of the danc? announces that elaborate .prepara tions have been made to secure un usual and artistic effects. More than thlB,, the military effect will be car ried "out in the nature of refreshments army eans, hardtack, and coffee are . hlnt.edx.at and both tho caterer and the doorkeeper will be effectlvo- 4y disguised as ald-ile-qamps of His Excellency, the chairman.

Eighty tickets at $1.50 each have been put on the University mar ket and posltivelyb) more will bo sold,. The Officers' Hop has taken an In teresting turn within the past couple of .years. When it was first establish ed as an annual .affair it was an nounced ns a strictly formal dance, but he.qxperienco of several years proved that the student body was not looking for increased formality in its social regime. The function came to a point whbre ;it .was a losing proposition fi nancially, and as a last resort.it was turned Into a strictly Informal affair, since which time it has prospered ex ceedingly. A complete report of the receipts and expenditures of the hop together with the disposition of what net pro ceeds there may be, will be published in the Nebraskah as soon as tho ac counts can be audited.

HALL WALT, r t 't db Tho Western Conference, in session at Chicago, Saturday, dealt a heavy blow to many of the mombers a blow V that will probably cause some of tho colleges to withdraw from tho organi zation. In refusing to altor tho rulos and adopt tho changes proposed by the rules committee tho "Big Nino" has soriouBly injurod tho nthlotlcs of many of tho conforonco schools. All. of tho colleges in tho "Big" Nino"- loso : by thoactlon, some much moro than " others. k ., N T J A i . X S. ;i wo or inree or tno memuors aro threatening to withdraw from tho or- - 4 Ionization so that thbyjnay bo froo to condu'qt their athletics without restric: tlon. Chief among theso dsentors is Michigan. Th,d fooling at that "insti tution is strongly. In favdr.pf cutting fdoso from tho western body and Join ing the eastern colleges. TJie Injury t6 Michigan athletics is great and will make a visible lioht in the future standing of that school. Th sentiment of the Ann Arbor, students Is well voiced by tho Michigan Dally. Speaking of the action of the Confer enco, that paper says in part:. "Thii merciless attack Js generally regarded as the straw, that willr.eak the camel's back, It is tho height of. absurdity to v Think ,that Michigan's athletic development. should bo guided by'cpllegoB liko Nbr(hwestorn, for in Btahco,whlch abolished, football two years ago.xA mass meeting of. tho students wlllbo hold this week to pelltion tho 'University senate to with draw from tho conforbnqe." Iowa .and Chicago also threaten to pull out of tho "Big Nine," but the students of neither school havo taken any action In that direction as yet Thoy aro waiting to see what Michi gan does. , The steps of "Michigan and tho other schools toward, withdrawal from tho conference body will bo watched with interest by tho students of Ne braska. For several years tho Corn buskers havo played football with some of tho"Big Ninje" elevens, and always under the conference rules. A break-up of that organization would allow Nebraska to oscapo tho rulos im-, posed on her teams in contests with . conference elevens, and would prob ably altof her standing among thea western schools. The proposed changes tliajt tho com mittee turned down at tho meeting Saturday are: , , That the football schedule be ex tended from five to seven games: Ayes Michigan, Chicago, Iowa. Nays , Northwestern, Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois. ' That tho retroactive feature of the three-year eligibility rule .be elimi nated: Ayes Michigan, ' Chicago, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin. Nays Pur due, Northwestern, Minnesota, Indi ana.
