HAND SHAKING IS
TAKING CAMPUS
SOME OF THE THRILLS OF RACE
ARE DEVELOPING
FEW MORE CANDIDATES FILE
Only Subscriber Who Are Paid Up
Can Vote Election Day Is Next
Thursday Everybody la
Enthused
The epidemic of hand shaking has
come again. Politicians are blossom
lag out with their golden smiles and
their "You know me, Al's." Every
body la trying to figure out why Mr.
X Is so nice and why he blushingly
leads the Influential co-ed to the class
"hop."
Thursday will be as full of thrills
to the aspiring candidate as the sec
ond real of "Neal of the Navy" is to
the high school lassie. Then each
paid up subscriber to the Nebraakan
ulll cast his ballot for the man who
gave him the best inside dope or
the girl who gave him the sweetest
smile.
Politics is the spice of University
life. No one knows wha thrills can
race up and down one's spinal cord
until he has been chosen bv hi !
for some office. Thus far the candi
dates who have announced themselves
have had little opposition, but what
will develop as the fatal day approach
es, no one can guess.

both alumni of the University, and

Mastodon Nears Completion
The long-Jawed mastodon secured
for the state museum early in June,
1915, on Mr. Z. T. Long's place near
Bristow, Boyd county, Nebr., Is now
nesting completion. The lower Jaw
Is five feet long and the upper Jaw
three feet, so that the lower pro
truded two feet beyond the upper.
One fore leg is complete and was
found with all the bones in position.
The skull is still in its plaster paris
cinches but work will begin upon it
in a few days. This skeleton is near
ly complete and will make a unique
specimen when mounted. Though
nearly perfect, the bones were near
the surface and were checked in . a
thousand directions. Each bone was
very carefully hardened before it was
handled. It will probablv -
.i t niouuis to harden the skull.
ARE TO CONSERVE RESOURCE
Dr. Gilmore, of the State Historical
Society, Urges the Use of
the Sand Hills
Because of the activity of a num
ber of men connected with the Uni
versity, much sentiment over the state
has been aroused in favor of a more
thorough conservation of natural re
sources. An extremely valuable resource is
going to waste in the northern sand
hills country of Nebraska because
people are not taking advantage of
opportunity, according to Dr. M. R.
Gilmore of the State Historical society.
The commodity is wild rice, which is
sold to fashionable clubs and particu
lar housekeepers over the country for
thirty-five or forty cents a pound. In
northern Nebraska hundreds of acres
nr r-tr-a rrnw ild. and would bring a
Itldv fortune to any man with pluck
and perseverance enough to gather
a. rroD.
j On a, recent trip to that part of the
state. Dr. Gilmore suggested that the
1 ... a
people there learn to gather tne proa
!nrt. Rome time aKO the rice was s-ill
'ing at twenty-five cents a pound, but
now iasnionaDie uuwiu fc.
forty cents whenever they are able
tn nrnrnrs it.
There is no doubt but what a good
deal of money can be made if some
undertakes harvesting the crop
said Doctor Gilmore. In Minnesota
md Wisconsin there are professional
rice gatherers who use motor boats
with wheels attached which beat
down the rice grains. I have known
large numbers of Lincoln people who
have gone to those states, learned to
like wild rice and then had it im
ported to Nebraska not realizing that
ft grows wild right here. The Min
nesota and Wisconsin men find a
ready demand for all of the rice that
they can harvest

SYMPHONY WRITTEN IN 1828
Critics Consider It the Finest of Schu

Schubert was given at . Convocation
yesterday morning by the following:
Mr. Edw. Walt, first violin.
Mrs. August Molzer, second violin.
Mr. William T. Quick, viola.

but the puzzling mixture of major and

whether to be sad or gay.
No doubt, however, about the Scher-

clownish unisons and the swift playful
touches of the woodwinds, which the

Is no longer clownish, but In broad
rythmic swing a noble song gives us
the needful variety, after which we

The Finale is a fine example of the
proverbial union of simplicity with
the highest art. A motif of pounding,
rushing rythm with little of tune if the
basic idea of this movement. The ele
mental rythm becomes impressive and
even magnificent by reason of the fear
less monotony with which it is reiter
ated, and it forms an effective back
ground for the march-like melodies
above.
Tennessee Professor Visitor
Prof, and Mrs. M. Mulvania return
ed last week to visit the University.
They spent considerable time in the
University museum and were very
much pleased with the additions made
since they were in college. Mr. Mul

in the University of Tennessee. They
the museum was moved from Science
