SENIOR PROM MENU
WILL BE HELD AT THE LINCOLN
HOTEL SATURDAY NIGHT
SIMPLE PROGRAM TO BE USED
Extra Money Will Be Expended Upon
Little Dinner Quartet Will
Give Numbers During
Intermission
The Senior Prom ia generally rec
ognized as the big social function of
the year. This year, in order to live
up to the reputation made by the
seniors in former years, the commit
tee has decided to make the prom
something different. That is to Bay,
it is to be distinctly original.
If we may criticise the management
of previous class proms, we would say
that too much money has been wasted
upon fancy programs or cheap favors
which your fair fried may paste in
ter memory book or throw in the fire
This year, however, simplicity in the
way of programs will be the order.
A very neat program is to be provided
which every girl will be pleased to put
in her memory book, but, remember,
the elaborate part of the occasion will
not be the programs.
The plans are to start the dance at
7:30, running in about ten dances be
fore 10 o'clock, at which time the fol
lowing will be served in the big dining
room :
Menu
Oyster Cocktail
Wafers
Olives Midgets
Chicken and Mushroom Patties
Peas in Butter SandwicheB
Neopolitan Ice Cream
Cake Coffee
Between courses a picked quartet
from the Kosmet Klub cast will pre
sent some of the song hits from the
new opera, "The Easy Mark." These
selections will no doubt be of special
interest to all, since the play 'is but a
feew weeks distant.
After this part of the program the
dancing will te resumed. One of the
best orchestras in the city will furnish
the music for the dancing. ' Of the
eighty-five tickets which have been
validated, the majority have been sold
but a few are still to be obtained from
the following:
O. H. Zumwinkel.
Marie Robertson.
Ruth McMichael.

CO-ED NUMBER OF
AWGWAN A SUCCESS
Edition Pays Tribute to the Leading
Role the Fair Sex Plays In
School Affairs
The "co-ed number" of the Awgwan
came out during exam week and
brought cheer to countless students
buried in the midst of examination
gloom.
Co-ed number It Is indeed. There
are co-eds of all sorts, descriptions,
and previous conditions of conquest.
Toasts, jokes and editorial about them
pay tribute to their elusive and subtle
charms. No one can read the paper
without being impressed of the impor
tant part played by the fair sex in
this school.
The number Is full of spicy articles
and snappy cartoons. Especially de
serving of mention are the tabloid en
titled "High Finance" and the page of
cartoons depicting the possible future
of the male sex. The management
have certainly kept up the high stand
ard set this year.

EXTRA FEES PAID
FORJREGISTRATION
Those Who Failed to Register Last
Week Must Pay Special Fee
of Three Dollars
Certainly the elements during the
past week showed but little semblanco
to the weather of a week some four
and a half months ago. There were
other differences as great, but none
of them were great enough to draw
Nebraska students from their desire
to reregister. The enrollment for the
Becond semester Is reported as normal,
although the exact figures are not yet
known. Reports of failures and con
ditions are not made up as yet This
will necessitate a change of courses
later in a few cases. A few late regis
tration fees of three dollars were col
lected yesterday. In all probability
those students will be practically the
last to register, with the exception of
the graduate students and city teach
ers registration, which is scheduled
for this week.

BASKET BALL MEET
NEBRASKA HIGH SCHOOLS COME
TO LINCOLN NEXT MONTH
SIXTY-FOUR TEAMS IN 1914
Entry Blanka Are Being Sent Out to
dayTournament Will Be Held
March 13-14 Guy Reed
In Charge
Manager of Athletics Guy Reed is
making arrangements for the fifth an
nual basketball tournament of Ne
braska high schools, which will be
held here March 10-13. The tourna
ment, which Is held under the auspices
of the athletic department of the Uni
versity, is the biggest thing in inter
scholastic basketball to be found any
where in the country. Last year more
high schools were present at the
tournament than were ever gathered
at one time for competition in the an
nals of high cchool basketball. Entry
blanks will be sent out this week.
From the number of inquiries received
by Manager Reed, present indications
are that last year's record of sixty-four
teams entered will be surpassed.
There will be three separate tourna
ments on the program for this year's
tourney: Class A, for the bigger
schools and those teams which have
made the best record for the season;
Class B, for the smaller schools, and
Class C, or consolation tournament,
for those teams eliminated in the first
round of Class A and Class B tourna
ments. Class A and Class B games
will be held in the Armory, Class A
in the gymnasium and Class B in the
chapel. Class C game3 will be staged
in the city Y. M. C. A. The semi
finals and finals of the teams com
peting in Clashes A and B will be held
in the City Auditorium, which wilt
eliminate an objectionable feature of
last year's tournament Hundreds of
people were turned away on the days
of the finals last year because they
could not be seated. It is thought that
the Auditorium will afTord ample seat
ing capacity.
The awards for first and second
places and the Individual medals are
the same, excepting, of course, the en
graving on tho cups and medals. The
teams winning first places will be
given silver loving cups; those win
ning second places will get banners.
Individual members of the teams win
ning first places in the three tourna
ments will be given gold medals with
appropriate inscriptions.
There is considerable speculation
rife as to what school will carry off
the honors in this year's tournament.
Lincoln High took first place last year.
In previous years Geneva, Omaha and
Beatrice won the tournament, thus
getting premier honors in Nebraska
interscholastic basketball.
Since the first of August the employ
ment bureau of the University of Min
nesota has found work for 369 stu
dents, and could have handled more
had there been more requests. The
bureau is attempting to centralize In
formation in regard to student musi
cians and student orchestras desiring
employment and is building up a stu
dent stenographic service. Ex.
