STIEHM DESERVES A
BIG HERO MEDAL
Much Credit Due the Coach Who
Paved the Way for the
More Timid
"Jumbo" Stiehm demonstrated his
qualifications for the title of "a brave
man" by appearing on the streets of
Lincoln one day last week in a straw
hat Mr. Stiehm ha? won fame as a
football specialist. He has oftimes
been accused of being somewhat of a
pugilist And when it comes to war,
he can give the late General Sherman,
himself, pointers. In other words, the
coach of Nebraska athletics has" al
ways been considered anything but a
coward. He surpassed all bis previ
ous records for bravery, however,
when he got out his straw lid and ap
peared in public. The hat was very
stylish in the summer of 1902, but
has again appeared in the up-to-date
styles this year. A movement is on
foot to procure a Carnegie medal for
Mr. Stiehm.
The annual informal spring party of
Sigma Nu fraternity was given at the
Lincoln hotel Saturday evening.
Amonz the out-of-town members who

PUY AT 1 OLIVER
CAST WORKING HARD FOR PER
FORMANCE SATURDAY
THE ADVANCE RESERVATIONS
Big Sale Yesterday Dramatic Club
Play Promises to Be Best of
the Season The Cos
tumes Here
The cast for "Monsieur Eeaucaire,"
the Dramatic Club play which is to
be presented at the Oliver Saturday
evening,, are having daily rehearsals
and are putting forth every effort to
make the play a success.
"Monsieur Beaucaire" is generally
considered to be one. of Booth Tark-
ington's best works. It is written in
five acts and deals with the adven
tures of a French nobleman wha ap
pears in fashionable society in Bath,
England. His fine manners attract
the ladies one in particular for
which the gentlemen come to feel
rather unkindly toward him. The plot
thickens. A duel and sword fight
complicate matters still more. The
v jle play is full of interesting scenes
which are made still more unique by
the elegant costumes which are typical
of the time of the scene of the play.
The costumes are being furnished by
an Omaha firm and the one worn by
Beaucaire is a facsimile of the one
worn by Richard Mansfield when he
appeared in that play. During his en
gagement in Omaha his costume was
damaged and Mr. Lieben was secured
to make another. He made two ex
actly alike and the one retained by
the costumer is to be used on this
occasion.
A large number of seats were sold
yesterday. The reservations will be
thrown open to the public tomorrow
morning and students who wish to
take advantage of the advance reser
vation should purchase their exchange
tickets today and have them reserved.
Exchange tickets can be secured at
the University Book Store, at the desk
at the Temple or at the tables on the
campus. The prices for this perform
ance are twenty-five, thirty -five, and
fifty cents.
SENIOR GIRLS TO
SELECT MAY QUEEN
Each Senior Girl Is Privileged to Indi
cate Her Choice of the Mem
ber to Be Honored
A mistake was made in the first an
nouncement of the May Queen elec
tion, which stated that "no candidate
had declared themselves." This U
not an election in which candidates
declare themselves, but rather one in
which the Senior girls declare their
candidates. - Class and society politics
in no way enter Into this election
Each Senior girl decides upon and
votes for the girl she considers most
worthy of the honor of May Queen,
and the honor comes unexpectedly to
the recipient At the first election
each girl -votes for the one she con
siders most fit for the position, and
at the second she votes for one of the
girls who received the largest number
of votes at this first election.
Siace the election is kept secret and
no one knows until Ivy Day who has
secured the coveted place, the rotlng
has always been very quiet, and there
has been little campaigning.
