MEMBERS OF FOUR CHAPTERS

The Visiting Greek Letter Men Were
Guests of Silver LynxThe
Local Fraternity Peti
tioning D. K. E.
The appearance of four members
of as many different chapters of Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity on the
campus last evening crystallised the
rumors of that national body estab
lishing a chapter at Nebraska which
hare floated about for several years
past. Their appearance at Nebraska
indicates the installation of another
chapterjrithia a short time as a pos
sible result
The representatives of Delta Kappa
Epsilon were: Mr. Self ridge of Chi
cago University, Mr. Schobinger of
Illinois State University. Mr. Barton of
Minnesota State University, and Mr.
YIIse of Wisconsin State University,
Delta Kappa Epsilon has chapters in
each, of these schools, and the visitors
were undergraduate members of their
respective schools and chapters.
D. K. E. is one of the oldest aud
largest fraternities in the country. It
is noted for its conservatism, and be
cause it has usually confined itself to
the large Eastern schools, has often
been called exclusive. There are but
few chapters in the West. Leland
Stanford and Texas universities being
the only two schools west of Minne
sota where, this fraternity has located.
Dean Hastings of the law college is
an alumnus of the fraternity and has
been active in the work of securing a
chapter at Nebraska. He stated while
lie representatives were in town that
he" thought the time had arrived when
D. K. E. should come to Nebraska,
and further expressed himself as be
ing very much in favor of its expan
sion. There are about forty members
of Delta Kappa Epsilon in Nebraska,
and it Is understood that they all
strongly favor establishing a chapter
at Nebraska. It is certain that the
different fraternities now at Nebraska
will welcome the newcomer if she de
cides on entering this school.
The fraternity men were guests of
tie Silver Lynx daring their stay in
the city: It is rumored that this or
ganization has petitioned for a chapter
of Delta Kappa Epsilon. and it is sup
posed that the trip to Lincoln was
made largely with tt idea of inspect
ing the local fraternity. White noth
ing definitely has been decided upon,
it is hoped that Silver Lynx secures a
national charter.

LEGISLATIVE CUSS
Cfl-EDHEPRESEHTED
Now Discussing Most Important Legis
lation Bill Regarding Sale of
Liquor to Students
At least some women of the Univer
sity are confident that the legislature
will open its doors in the near future
to women legislators, as evinced by
the number now enrolled in the legis
lative class. Of the seventy enrolled
there are seven or eight women more
than have ever signed' up for this
course before. The class just now are
discussing what they consider the
most important legislation now pend
ing and the debate is heated to put
it mildly. (You see I'm a would-be
lady reporter, and so must be careful
what. I say.)
Of the bills before the House just
now. perhaps the most vital to stu
dents is that one which forbids the
sale of liquor to students at any time
or in any psace. iamiu, ucms
woman. I can not do justice to tne
situation, so I know you will pardon
me.)

DEBATING

VARIOUS CLASS TEAMS TRY OUT
ON WAR QUESTION
FIGHT AMONG SOPHOMORES
Doctor Maxey Coached Champions
Last YearThis Year He Has
Been Secured by the
Sophomores
In U. 106. tomorrow evening at 7:30.
the tryouts for the various class teams
will be held. The question to be de
bated is, "Resolved, That the govern
ment of the United States should pre
vent the sale of munitions of war by
the citizens of this country to Eu
ropean belligerents."
Evidently the seniors and juniors
consider it beneath their dignity to
participate in a contest of this nature,
for no one from either of these classes
has registered for the event Nor
have enough freshmen registered to
make up a full team if every contest
ant were chosen. The big fight ap
pears to be in the Sophomore class,
where five . good men have entered.
Those who have registered are:
Sophomores. A. R. Swenson. Robert
Waring. Ira Beynon. Charles Scho

Last year the Freshman team won
the final contest on Phi Beta Kappa
day. They defeated the Sophomore
team in their initial performance and

the
finals and were easilv victorious. All
the members of last year's team are
in school again this year and it is
understood that they will bid strongly

PROF. SCHRAM TELLS
OF SOUTH AMERICA
Indians of Quatemala Are Unique
Old Indian Village Shows
Absydian Relics
One of the many interesting things
which Professor Schram noticed on
his trip through South America was
the Indians at Quatemala. The In
dians there are very industrious and
so differ radically from the Indians of
our country. Carrying packs weigh
ing f rem fifty to a hundred pounds and
with two hundred pound packs on
their horses, they furnish the city of
Quatemala with provisions.
While in Quatemala the professor
found the climate very pleasant, but
on his trip across the desert near the
east coast and on his way through the
east coast jungle the heat was very
oppressive.
While the professor was on an ex
cursion from Quatemala he ran across
an old Indian village where he found
many specimens of absydian Indian
knives, which are very rare and are
not made by the Indians any more.

DEFEAT WESLEYAN COYOTES BY
. 13 TO 9 SCORE
VICTORY IS A BIG SURPRISE
Wesleyan Wat Doped to Win Both
Teams Show Unnecessary
Roughness Nebraska's
Victory Decisive
The Cornhusker basketball team
avenged itself for last year's defeat
by achieving a 13-9 victory over the
Wesleyan Coyotes at University Place.
Friday night. The victory' was as un
expected as it was decisive. The loss
oT Captain Hawkins and Myers, the
subsequent shifting of the men.- and
the trying out of new men for the
positions made the Husker team
which faced the Coyotes an unknown
quantity. Dope favored Wesleyan,
resulting in a little over-confidence on
the part of the Methodists, which prob
ably had something to do with their
defeat. The game was characterized
by unnecessary roughness. Both sides
entered the fray eager to start trouble,
with the result that the play was in
terspersed with prize-fighting and
wrestling acts, which, although divert
ing, found little favor with the sup
porters of the two teams.
The basket shooting of Shields and
Gardner, the wonderful guarding of
Mliliken. the splendid floor work of
Rutherford, Hugg and Keifer, and a
novel system of attack devised by
Coach Stiehm for the benefit of the
Methodists, were prime factors in the
achievement of Nebraska's victory.
This attack, although it was not
potent as a scoring power, was of in
estimable value in wrecking the pla
cidity of the Parsons. The Nebraska
players would take the ball near the
Wesleyan goal, group themselves in a
circle, and pass the ball around the
rine. When the Wesleyan team
closed in to break np the play, it sud
denly developed into a criss-crossing
fan which swept toward the Wesleyan
goal. The whole team played basket
ball which far outshone anything dis
played this season. Rutherford was
at his best, playing the floor la re
markable style, seeming to be every
where. Gardner, at forward, played
a strong, consistent game, scoring two
of Nebraska's goals, both from a good
distance. Shields, until he was pre
cipitated over the back of Johnson in
the act of staging one of his low dives,
was the biggest factor In Nebraska's
scoring, rraking more points during
the time he was in than any other man
on either team made during the course
of the entire game- Millikea and
Hugg played the floor brilliantly.. be
ing particularly adept at breaking up
the much talked of Wesleyan attack.
Keifer. who replaced Shields, played
a remarkable game, disconcentoe th
