BEAUTIFUL GIRLS
THIRTY GIRLS CHOSEN FOR THE
BEAUTY SECTION OF ANNUAL
CORNHUSKER SALETHURSDAY
Gold and Sepia Background for Por
traits Senior Section in Color
and Gold All Orders Must
Be in This Week
At last the beautiful girls at Ne
braska are to receive their due praise!
After forty years of oblivion, their
comeliness is to be displayed before
the admiring public.
The 1915 Cornhusker is to have a
section in colors dedicated to the
thirty most beautiful women of promi
nence in the upper classes. No ex
pense is being spared on this section
and it is anticipated as one of the big
features of the coming annual.
W ho these thirty chosen ones are,
only the editor knows. Your friends
are there if they are good-looking and
have ever done anything of value for
Nebraska. Weeks of anxiety preceded
their selection and the friends of these
picked beauties -will enthusiastically
agree with the editor when this sec
tion is seen.
Townsend has been posing these
fair damsels for ten days and several
of them have remarked afterward, "I
never knew I was so good-looking."
Even the employees at the studio have
been sworn to secrecy, and there is
absolutely no way of finding out who
they are.
A clever original design executed in
gold and sepia will be used as a back
ground for the fifteen pages of full
length portraits of Nebraska's fair
women.
Seventy-five pages are devoted to an
athletic section and an individual cut
of every man who has won his letterJ
this past year. Two hundred pages
comprise the "School Year" and Joke
section, of which seventy-fire per cent
is filled with cartoons and spicy snap
shots. Ivy Day, the May Queen, and
all the traditional happenings at Ne
braska, will appear as never before in
beautiful engravings.
The Senior section will be in color
and gold and will show a most unique
design as a background. It is intend
ed to make the upperclass section a
gem in the annual.
Every class will have its section
with the most prominent men and
women shown through the camera.
Football teams, representitives in
athletic events of every iind will be
given their due prominence.
Today will be taken the last two
companies' pictures for the military
section. This part of the book is full
of neat snap-6hots and is receiving
particular attention.
Better paper and better leather
binding than ever used before will
mark the one popular-priced edition of
the 1915 Cornhusker. The general
sale wil be March the fourth. Thurs
day of this week, and no more copies
will be printed than are wdered at
that time, with the deposit paid.
This Athlete Prefers to Study
Berause of his studiesat Harvard,
R. Norris Williams 2nd, winner of the
National tennis tournament last year,
has been obliged to forego playing In
the National indoor championship now
teing held on the courts of the Sev
enth Regiment Aiinory.
Probability or Possibility
When in the history of man there is
a shortage in the amount that the im
poverished solicitor pays the collector
it is due to the physical impossibility
of a reconciliation of the forces of
good and evil and the result of the
encounter is always disastrous for the
ultimate consumer whom the inevita
ble conclusion oppresses till his grave.
SO "MOTE" IT BE.
JUNOR CUSS MEETS
TODAY AT ELEVEN
Important Class Meeting Will Discuss
Junior Play "The Road to Yes
terday" Progressing Swiftly
The Juniors wil hold an important
class meeting Thursday at 11:30 in
Memorial Hall, at which every Junior
Is urged to be present
The chief object of this meeting is
to make arrangements for the financ
ing of the Junior Class Play, which
will be given March 19 at the Oliver.
About one hundred dollars has been
received so far from the advance sale
of tickets. The receipts "will increase
during the next few days. The man
agement is especially anxious to se
cure the earnest co-operation of all
Juniors in making the coming play
the most successful one ever staged
by a third year class.
'The Road to Yesterday," a comedy
in four acts, is the name of the play
chosen. That its production will be
an entire success cannot be doubted
by anyone who has seen the cast in
action and noticed the rapid progress
being made by the players under the
watchful eye and careful guidance of
Miss Howell, who has criticised and
approved at four rehearsals a week for
some time past.
The costumes, which are of the
early seventeenth century, are very
good and have been procured at con
siderable expense. No less can be
said far the scenery, which changes
six times.
Novel stunts will be used in adver
tising "The Road to Yesterday," and
the committee urgently requests all
Juniors to assist in every way possible
in putting before the public the time,
the place and the quality of this play.
The advisability of a Senior-Junior
mixer for some time in the near fu
ture will also be considered at the
class meeting Thursday.

ing Concern." Mr. Williams first toon
up his subject from the economic

FIFTH SYMPHONY LOUDLY AP
PLAUDED BY STUDENTS
MEMORIAL HALL AGAIN FILLED
Symphony Recitals Seem to Be Only
Convocational Exercises Ab4 to
Draw University Students
From , Work
The C minor Beethoven Symphony
was given yesterday morning at Con
vocation to a good-sized crowd of Uni
versity people. Printed slips were
handed out at the door telling some
thing of the theme and the composer.
This Symphony was written during
the period when Beethoven was great
ly depressed over the termination of
his engagement to the Countess
Theresa, and his emotions were ex
pressed by the words "Fate is knock
ing at the door."
The movements of the symphony
are very impressive and unique in its
intensity, especially in the first part.
There is something about this selec
tion, the Fifth Sym phony, that when
once heard is not easily forgotten, and
those in attendance this morning will
undoubtedly remember for a long
time the tranquil and beautiful melody
so skillfully rendered yesterday in
Memorial Hall.
The audience showed their appre
ciation of the efforts put forth for
their benefit by a large attendance
and by the vigorous applause tendered
the musicians. These musical pro
grams have been able to draw large
crowds right along and seem to be one
of the few Convocations that the stu
dents will leave their work to attend.
DOCTOR 1.1 EZ IS TO
SPEAK T0M0R0W NIGHT
"The Next Practical Step: The Condi
tions of Peace," Will Be Dis
cussed by Him
The University Dinner Club and the
World Polity Club will jointly give a

as well as the men, are cordially iD
vited. The cost will be 75 cents per
plate. Tickets can be obtained at the
hotel.
It is requested that all planning on
attending mail their acceptances this
morning.
Doctor Mcz is a very able speaker
and his address should be of much
more interest than the various discus
sions upon the cause of the war to
gether with the present standing of
the combatants.

ECONOMICS COURSE -
GIVEN IN TEMPLE
Course Arranged for by State Journal
Lessons Conducted by Cul
inary Expert
A school in home economics is be
ing conducted by the State Journal in
the Temple Theater this week under
the direction of Miss Florence Peets.
The demonstrations and lectures held
every afternoon and evening have been
well attended and enjoyed by the
women of Lincoln. No admission has
been charged at any time.
Miss Peet has made many valuable
suggestions concerning what should
be cooked and how to obtain the best
results at a very moderate cost. She
is a culinary expert graduated from
Drexel Institute. Philadelphia, Pa., and
has been on the lecture platform for
twelve years both in America and Eu
rope. Her work in many places has
been so much appreciated that they
are trying to get her to return. The
women of Lincoln hope that the enthu
siastic reception which they have
shown her will insure her return here.
- Come Early Tonight
It is rumored that the Wesleyan
rooters are planning to come to the
Armory at 7 o'clock tonight in order
to get seats. There will be several
hundred of them and Nebraska stu
dents who are going to the game need
to be on the scene early if they want
a seat. One hundred seats have been
reserved for Wesleyan and one hun
dred for Nebraska. The remainder
will be occupied by those who get
there first. If you want a seat, don't
fail to be there by seven o'clock.
Girls' Party Saturday
The Girls' Club party is scheduled
for Saturday at 2:30 o'clock in the
Temple. A program in the theater,
dancing, and games assures entertain
ment for all. Admission, 10 cents.
PROFESSOR LOSES
ADMIRABLE RECORD
Statement of His Failure In Game
Mad by Other Players Professor
Still Claims Supremacy
Dr. Edwin Maxey's reputation as a
whist plaster is on the wane. C. A.
Sorensen, George Russell Mann, and
Dr. Edwin Maxey are said to have
taken a card deck with them on their
trip to Exeter to judge the Exeter-
Geneva debate. It is further stated on
good authority that the Law College
faculty representative was unmerci
fully defeated. Doctor Maxey, how
ever, denies this and alleges that
Sorensen cheated. Mann declares
that only once did Sorensen keep back
an ace and that Doctor Maxey was
fairly swept off his feet by the scien
tific playing of his two opponents.
Other papers are asked not to copy
this, as the Daily Nebraskan has no
desire to add to the humiliation of the
doctor.
T
LAST BASKETBALL GAME TO BE
PLAYED ON HUSKER FLOOR
METHODISTS ARE CONFIDENT
Will Attempt to Avenge Humiliating
Defeat Administered by Nebraska
a Month Ago Large Crowd
Expected to Attend
The last episode in the history of
the 1915 Cornhusker basketball team
will be enacted in the Armory tonight
when Nebraska and Wesleyan meet
for the second time this season. At
their first meeting, something like a
month ago, Nebraska achieved a de
cisive victory and placed the only blot
on Wesleyan's record. Tonight they
will be given an opportunity to re
trieve their defeat and thereby erase
half the blot from their fair record,
which is good foundation for prophesy
ing that the last game of the season
will be filled with all the thrills and
dramatic situations accorded to such
episodes.
No thought of defeat lies in the
minds of Wesleyan students. They
are certain that their wonderful team
will successfully overcome the Husk
ers. Every possible preparation has
been made to inure the enacting of a
sweeping victory. The team itself has
been eagerly awaiting the chance to
even the Husker score, and have built
up a whirlwind attack around Captain
Vifquain, Kine and Hughes. At least
three hundred Wesleyan rooters will
accompany the team to town and will
do their part in trying to bring victory
to the Coyote cause. -
Nebraska faces her last game in
poor condition. Milliken is out of th
game, it is not known yet whether
Shields wil be able to play, Campbell
was injured in Monday's practice, and
Rutherford's right eye was almost put
out of commission in the same ses
sion. The team is pepful and full of
fight, and has no evil forebodings as
to the result of the game in spite of
the handicap under which they find
themselves. Nebraska decisively
trimmed the Coyotes with Capta'n
Hawkins and Myers, veterans of three
years, out of the game, but even
Madame Dope can not foretell just
how much these recent injuries will
handicap the Huskers.
The Huskers practiced for a short
while yesterday afternoon. Kiefer
was at center. Shields and Gardiner at
guards, and Sheldon and Hugg at
guards. This is the tentative lineup
for tonight's game. Teamwork was
remarkably effective, considering the
shifting of the players and the absence
of regulars from the lineup, ard
Shields played a god game at forward.
Sheldon, at Rutherford's game, played
the floor and guarded consistently.
The Wesleyan supporters 1n the -r
anticipation of a victory tonight, are
wont to pass over the defeat whi.-h
Nebraska, with their Captain Haw
kins and Myers, both veterans of three
years, administered to the Coyotes
