MONDAY, APRIL 12. 1915
Friday night saw the ruling against
cabB broken in many places. A
eprinkle of rain early in the evening
served as an excuse for many to hurry
to the telephone and call for cabs be
fore the clouds should disappear. Oth
ers avoided the ruling by hiring auto
mobiles. It is up to the councils to
investigate these cases. If the rule
1s to be enforced now is the time to
do it. Its possibilities should bo
demonstrated at once. It should either
be vigorously enforced or action
should be taken to abolish it.
Petty thieving about the University
continues. The theft of money from
the Awgwan office is one of the many
incidents that have ben reported this
year. Books, coats, hats, pens, and
even money out of purses in cloaks in
the balls have been taken. It is un
fortunate that there must be a certain
reflection upon the University body be
cause a few people have not learned to
respect the property rights of others.
Society protects itself from people who
steal by providing penalties for the
offense and making determined efforts
to apprehend the guilty parties. The
University authorities should take
some definite action in an attempt to
locate the people who are doing this
work. They have no place in our
midst and the quicker we get rid of
them the better.

ing on the referee's card to decide the
contest, it was mutually agreed that
the points be divided and a medal
awarded each.
The events of the gymnastic meet,
including work on the parallel bars,
horizontal bar, flying rings, side horse,
tumbling and club-swinging, brought
forth clever and proficient work. The
meet throughout its course was close,
none of the teams having at any time
very much of an advantage. The Wis
consin team returned the highest
number of points in the parallel bar,
horizontal bar, and side horse events;
Chicago took first in tumbling and
club swinging, and Illinois first on the
flying rings.
In the fencing foils and broad
swords St irn of Wisconsin took first
in both events, Wettling of Nebraska
taking second place, Ingguerson of
Chicago third. Stirn of Wisconsin dis
played the greatest Bkill in handling
his weapon, but on points scored was
followed closely by Wettling of Ne
braska.
This is the second time that the
meet has come to Lincoln, and the
first time that Nebraska has been
eligible for team honors. Her work
this year was better than any jrevious
record, taking second and third indi
vidual places, first in the wrestling,
second in fencing and fourth in gym
nastics. Honors of the meet un
doubtedly go to Wisconsin, who took
first in gymnastics and fencing and
fourth in wrestling. Second honorB, fter flipping a jitney to decide who

Who wouldn't give fifteen dollars

"Tat" Reavis, Jack Abps, Lysle Rush
ton, and Johnnie Bressler, four mem
bers of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity,
asked themselves last Wednesday
when a big Buick of 1876 model truck
was placed on sale by an auctioneer
at the state fair grounds. All agreed
that, like a bet with good odds, such
a purchase would be good even if they
did lose. Mr. Reavis was delegated
to do the shouting.
Mr. Reavis has a husky voice and
when he got into action with a two
dollar and a half bid all knew that he
meant business. Some one, raised the
bid to five dollars, but Reavis, un
daunted, came back with an offer of
five and a quarter. Ten dollars was
then bid and the four Phi Delts held
a hurried consultation.
"Going, going " but the auc
tioneer got no farther.
"Fifteen dollars," shouted the
spokesman for the four student finan
ciers.
"Going, going," again called out the
auctioneer. ' But this time no one
stopped him and the hammer dropped
with "Gone."

Phi Delta Phi Meeting
The legal fraternity of Phi Delta
Phi held their regular weekly meeting
last Thursday evening at the Silver
Lynx house. The members engaged
in a general discussion touching upon
various points of the law of contracts.
Later in the evening the University
and College of Law songs were sung.
time being by Phi Delta Theta and
christened "The Catherine." Plans
are being prepared to build a drive
up to the fraternity house porch so
that the car can be left on the front
porch during the daytime when the
car is not expected to be in use.
"The Catherine" is guaranteed not
to exceed five miles per hour and is
warranted to frighten the very tamest
of all tame horses into running away.
The public has been warned not to
become alarmed at any queer noises
theV hear, as "The Catherine" is in
clined to be rather boisterous when
traveling at full speed.
The freshmen have volunteered to
act in the capacity of chauffers and
repairmen. Thus the project will af
ford instruction as well as pleasure,
and will make it unnecessary to at
tend an auto school to learn such se
crets as: How to keep the coil from
uncoiling; What to do when you run
out of gasoline; Why does the motor
mote? etc.
The bus will also be used exten
sively in fussing the fair co-ed. The
Pi Phis were the first to be favored
with a ride and nre anxiously await
ing their next turn. It is predicted
that it is but a short time until the
Phi Delts will be the most popular
fraternity in school. Already the
front windows of the sorority houses
are filled with Leautiful faces and in
the heart of each there is the wish
that the Thi Delts come and take
them for a ride.
