ADVANCE SALE OF CORNHUSKERS
REACH EXPECTATIONS
SALE CONTINUES TWO DAYS
Engraving Has Beer Completed Only
Ninety-Five Copies Left to Dis
pose Of No More Book
to Be Ordered
The 1915 Cornhusker is at last a
reality and proof on this most wonder
ful book will be read during the next
few weeks. The engraving is com
pleted and the work by Baker Bros.,
of Omaha, is the best that has ever
been turned out for a University pub
lication. Everything points to a very
excellent Cornhusker-and the advance
sale of books has come up to expecta
tions. The sale will be continued un
til Wednesday in order to give every
one a chance to order a book. Under
the contract this year only enough
copies will be ordered to fill advance
orders, so those people who are de
pending on precedent and hope to buy
their Cornhusker at the last minute
are very probably doomed to disap
pointment The management have
started out to smash all precedent and
so far have succeeded, both in the
manner in which they have conducted
the business end and the lavish way
they have spent money to improve the
book. The proper way in which to
show appreciation for this added work
and expense is for every student to
buy his Cornhusker at once. Howard
Cpdegraff, In charge of the feature
section, says that after the first ap
pearance of this section the demand
for more books will be instantaneous.
"Delicious scandal" Is here in abund
ance and no student can afford to lose
this last opportunity to order a Corn
husker and save the management the
embarrassment of turning a large
number of late orders away.
Only ninety-five more copies are toj
be sold. The word has been given
that the sale closes Wednesday at 5
p. m.
Siuce there are no complimentaries
to be given this year, no extra copies
Till be printed. It has been found
that no money can be made by selling
extra copies. Consequently the sale
closes as soon as the next ninety-five
are sold. It will be impossible to get
a book after the spring recess.
Books will be on sale until Wednes
day. March 25th, at T. A. Williams
office and the Cornhusker office, fourth
floor of University Hall.

GAUSEDJEXG1TEMEHT

the Meeting by Calling the
Leader an Imposter
A number ' of University students
were afforded considerable amusement

lin interrupted the spiritual meeting
on South Eleventh street

to a hundred students gather at this
place to hear the doctrines of Chris
tianity as proclaimed by Rev. F. A.

covered a variety of subjects during
the year and are sufficiently interest
ing from one cause or another to draw
a large crowd. Last Sunday evening
while he was busily calling up the
spirits of those who "had passed out"
Mr. Lloyd Shanklln, living at College
View, stepped In front of the audience
and tsated that the meeting had gone
far enough and that he was there to
denounce Mr. Thomas as an imposter.
Mr. Thomas apparently took exception
to his remarks for he stepped from his
platform and endeavored to lead the
ardent speaker from the halL The stu
dents at this point took a-hand In the
fray and succeeded in keeping the
meeting in an uproar until the officers
arrived and carried Mr. Shanklin to
the police station and to safety. He
was dismissed yesterday morning.

INVESTIGATION MADE
OF STUDENT EXPENSE
Individual Reports Received From
Ninety-two Per Cent of the Stu
" dents Averages Made
During the year 1913-1914 an Invest!
gation was made at the University of
Minnesota to determine the cost of
living for students. Individual re
ports were received from 92 per cent
of the collegite students in residence.
The tabulated results show that the
average room rent paid by men was
1.64 a week, by women, $1.77. The
average for all students not living at
home) was $1.68. The average board
paid Jiy men was $3.89 a week, by
women, $4.04. The average for all
students (not living at home) was
$3.93. Eleven men and seven women
reported that board cost them less
than $2.00 a week. The average of
total annual expenses, including tui
tion fees, was, for men, $536.1S; for
women, $474.4S. The higher tuition
fees of the professional schools raise
the average for men. In the College
of Science, Literature and the Arts,
the average total expense for men Is
$469.52, for women $487.90. Seven
teen men and women reported a total
annual expense of less than $250. Sixty-two
men and fourteen women re
ported an annual expense of $850 or
more.
STATE HISTORICAL
ROOM IS A HAVEN
World of Pleasure Open to the Student
Who Gains Entrance Fine
Place to Loiter
After you are safeiy by the unfriend
ly people in the ante-room of the
State Historical Society, peace is
yours, bach a world of pleasure is
opened to ou! If you aren't in any
hurry to search through the news
items of your home paper, you may
loiter over the glass show cases, and
write your name in the dust on these
same glass tops. The civilized and un
civilized past is gathered together
and carefully stowed away in the
basement of the Library. You may
weave your day dream from a unique
Indian relic or a trim little bodice of
the sixteenth century. Musty, dusty
volumes are shelved about the room.
Don't try these, however, the sen
tences contain at least a hundred
words and such sentences are the
private property of English' Literature
12.
The assistants are very gentle; they
don't care if you munch peanuts or
gossip with a friend while you fever
ishly study the social column of the
Podunk Weekly. You may study down
there, too. This is a fine retreat for
those whom the librarians above have
dismissed. The State Historical So
ciety is really one of the havens of
the campus.
SPRING JOTMLL
PRACTICE IS TO BEGIN AFTER
VACATION.
ATHLETES HAVE THE FEVER
Spring Training Now Adopted in
Larger Colleges Twenty-five Are
Expected Out For Practice
Material Looked Over
Dirt-smeared pants and padded
sweaters, not to mention the various
other accessories such as leg-guards,
shoes, and head-guards, are being
hauled out of the attic and the store
room for spring football has come and
all the husky athletes have the fever.
Coach Stiehm plans to start the
practice immediately after the spring
vacation and the prospect for a large
number of warriors from which to
pick another Missouri Valley cham
pion team Is very encouraging.
Spring training has been adopted in
nearly alj the larger colleges where
much interest is taken in this sport.
The champions of the plan say that it
has proved a much better way to train
the first year men than the usual fall
schedules relied upon. But not only
are the first-year men benefitted by
the early work-outs; the older war
horses have the chance to rub off
some of the accumulated avoirdupois
of the winter, and to get into trim to
meet the active youngsters. The
spring schedule will include the regu
lar practices of running, tackling,
punting, throwing, line formation and
any other tactics used in the game.
The work is all under able tutelage
and the men are given the same care
and training that is shown the first
team when these "title defenders" are
polishing up for the big game in the
fall. Altogether, it is expected that
beneficial results will be obtained from
this system. About twenty-five are ex
pected out, and with this number is the
possibility of more yet when the fever
takes deeper hold, and then is the
sight of grimy, flushed cheeks, and the
sound of panting breaths and the thud
of the pig skin making music we all
like to hear.
Outclassed
"My dear," said the proud father,
"I cannot understand your objection
to young Prudely as a suitor for your
hand. I am sure he is a model young
man."
"There is no question about his
being a model," replied the bewitching
beauty, "but father, he is a 1912
model." Buffalo Commercial.
ODSERVATORY WAS
JIPEII TO PUBLIC
Many Students Took Advantage of the
Opportunity to View Saturn
and Hear Lecture
The State University Observatory
was open to the public from 8 to 10
p. m. last night for a view of Saturn.
Since cloudy weather 'has several
times prevented a view of Saturn on
the regular public evening, this oppor
tunity was given at this time, and the
lecture on Saturn, given on a previous
occasion, was repeated at 9 p. m. A
large number of students visited the
Observatory.
