EXCELLENT MUSIC AT CONVO
CATION AUDIENCE WAS ENTHUSIASTIC
Violin and Piano Selection Played
Glee Club Will Have Charge of
the Convocation Program
Tomorrow
The Convocation program yesterday
morning was given by four students,
ill members of the Glee Club. The
success of the University Week Con
vocation prompted the committee to
try the experiment of giving other
programs by students. Thev believe
in this way students will be encour
aged in developing their talent and
that programs by University people for
University people will be better for
all concerned than to have them all
given by talent outside of the school.
If the student body desire this sort of
programs occasionally and support
them the aim is to give different or
ganizations In school the opportunity
of presenting their own program. Yes
terday's Convocation was well attend
ed and the different numbers were en
thusiastically received.
The following program was given:
Violin "Legend e" Weniawski
T. J. Lehmer
Vocal "Song of the Soul" from "The
Climax" ...Breil
Earl Jackson
Piano Rigoletto Paraphrase
Verdi Liszt
Stanley Marsh
Vocal "A Song of Thanksgiving"..
Alliesen
Roy Young
These numbers were all high
class music and their rendition
showed thorough and conscientious
tudy on the part of the men giving
them.
The Glee Club as an organization
will have charge of the program to
morrow at Convocation and a treat is
in store for those who attend.

ARMIES WILL CLASH
THIS AFTERNOON
Farm Regiment Will Defend Village of
Belmont Against Troops From
Armory
Beginning at 3 o'clock this after
noon, or as soon thereafter as the regi
ments can be placed, the two bat
talions comprising the farm regiment
will defend their kin in or around the
village of Belmont against the valiant
town troops. This constitutes the first
and incidentally the most important
of the series of sham battles which
lie in store for the university cadets.
The three battalions of the first, or
town regiment, have had maneuver
drill for the last three nights, and
have acquainted themselves thorough
ly with the resistance of the Salt
Creek bottoms and the feel of last
year's cockle-burrs. Similar work has
been carried on at the Farm.
Spectators are not only permitted
they are invited. The prospect of de
ploying their smoothly moving com-
panies before a crowd of spectators
presents so much of possibility that
several of the captains have suggested
plans for accommodating them. First
of all In this comes Captain H. G.
Hewitt, who suggests that a platform
be erected In the center of the scene
of conflict and seats arranged around
it. From the platform the captain
might explain each movement and
point out its fallacies?
The town regiment is to be desig
nated as the Reds, thefarm regiment
as the Blues. The Blues must theo
retically entrench themselves some
where in the vicinity of the village of
Belmont, and defend their position
against the attacking town regiment.
The battle- will be made the more
realistic by the use of blank cart
ridges. Fifteen rounds of blanks will
be issued to each man.

MEN ELECT ZUMWINKLE
YESTERDAY'S "PEP" MEETING
Coach Reed, Captain Zumwinkle and
Goetze Talked to Fifty Athletes
Plans For Freshman
Track
Otto II. Zumwinkle, veteran two
twenty and four-forty man, was elected
captain of the Husker track team by
the 1914 letter men, It was announced
by the athletic board last night. The
retirement of former Captain Seven
Myers at the close of last semester
left the captaincy vacant, and with the
beginning of the track season ballots
were distributed among the letter men
and their preference sought, result
ing in Zummie's election. Both the
former and the new captain began
their athletic careers together as star
performers on the same prep school
team the York High School team of
the palmy days when it was the big
pebble in interscholastic track.
About fifty men gathered in Iaw
101 yesterday morning for the track
pep meeting. Coach Reed opened the
meeting with a spicy talk in which
he incorporated the peculiar position
of track at Nebraska, the particular
situation this year, the chances of the
assembled talent to make the team, and
he closed his talk wiih a few words on
track training, its importance and ap
pliance. He stressed the necessity
of conscientious training in track as
in no other sport and called attention
to the fact that the cinder path held
just as rigid requirements for the
veriest star as for the average athlete.
Especially In the sprinters is conscien
tious training vital. Following Coach
Reed, Captain Zumwinkle and Goetze
talked for a few minutes urging that
every candidate do his part in making
this a successful season at Nebraska.
Cards were distributed among the
men, upon which they gave their
name, year in school, previous ex
perience, and their events.
Definite plans were carried out for
Freshman track. More stress will be
laid upon this phase than has been the
custom in the past. There will be at
least two Freshmen meets with
Doane and Vesleyan, and It is proba
ble that one or two more will be ar
ranged. Handicap meets In which the
Freshmen will participate are to be,
arranged, perhaps on every other
Wednesday.
The half mile relay team, composed
of Captain Zumwinkle, Bates, Scott,
and Deering, and the mile team, com
prising the same men with the excep
tion of Deering, who Is replaced by
Clark in the latter event nr train
ing hard for the Drake games Satur
day. The annual relay games held
at Des Moines every year under the
auspices of Drake University are one
of the bigegst events in the West, and
the Husker teams will compete not
only with the strongest western teams
but also with big teams from the East.

UTIN CLUB PROGRAM
CONSISTED OF PLAYS
Lincoln High School Teachers Attend
ed the Meeting Ancient Roman
Life Depicted
The Latin Club meeting, held last
evening in the elocution room was
well attended by members of the club
as well as a number interested in the
work. The teachers of Latin in the
Lincoln High School were present.
The program in charge of Margue
rite Kauffman assisted by Prof. Alice
Hunter, consisted of three short Latin
plays, showing the everyday life of
the ancient Romans.
The first "Passer .Mortuus," was a
dialogue presented ' by Marguerite
Kauffman and Clear Golden. In the
second, "Colloquium a Julia et Sul
picia," Helen Heaton and Olive Leh
mer costumed as women of fashion in
the time of Cicero, caused the audi
ence to appreciate the "eternal femi
nine" by their love for beautiful clothes,
jewels and their personal vanity. Jen
nie Dexter and Marguerite Kauffman
assumed the roles of devoted maids
also endowed with a great deal of
vanity.
The third play was a Roman school
in which Zoe Hayes capably repre
sented the good natured teacher too
deeply absorbed In philosophy to
notice the conduct of the pupils. Olive
Lehmer as the poet entertained the
school by reciting poems and playing
the customary lyre. Harriet Turner,
Ruby Hills, Alice LeMasters. Effle
Johnson, and Jennie Dexter took parts
of pupils.
I. Columbia engineers are to be given
an opportunity to inspect the power
plant and elevator system of the Wool
worth Building. Both these features
are the most extensive of their kind
and are of particular interest to em
bryo engineers. Separate parties of
engineers will be conducted by the
professors on Monday and Tuesday of
this week.

SEN CLASS PLAY
SENIORS SELECT "THE SUNKEN
BELL" FOR ANNUAL PLAY
TRY0UTS NEXT WEDNESDAY
Will be Given During Commencement
Week Ella Williams Chalr-
man of Comittee Miss
Howell to Coach
The announcement in yesterday's
Xebraskan concerning the Senior play
contained an error as to the play se
lected. Instead of Sham the Seniors
will present Gerhart Hauptman'a
famous play "The Sunken Bell." This .
is a fairy play in five acts and was
written originally in German. It was
translated into English by Henry Melt
zer. The Sunken Bell Is perhaps the
most difficult play that has ever been
attempted in the University. It was
first produced in this country by Mar
lowe and Sothern who had a very suc
cessful tour with it.
It has been the custom fn the Uni
versity for the Senior Class to pre
sent a play each year and it is usually
looked forward to as the climax of
University productions for the year.
Two years ago the class presented Ib
sen's "Pillars of Society." Last year
the play chosen was "The Fortune
Hunter." The play this year is of an
entirely different nature than either of
the two mentioned. It is the first pre
sentation of the work in this city and
play lovers have a rare treat in store.
A copy of the book is in the Uni
versity library and also one in the city
library and anyone wishing to try out
may get one at either place. The try
outs will be held in the Temple The
atre, Wednesday evening, April 21st.
Those who wish to try out should
register with Ella Williams in U. 106
at 11 a. m.rTuesday.
Miss Florence Schell has dropped
her University work to take a position
as assistant principal of the Brock
public schools.
