COtlFEREIICE PER MITS OREGON GAME W0 OPPOSITION TO WESTERN TRIP OF TEAM DEVELOPS New Ruling Adopted, However, Which Prohibits Similar Garnet in the Future Expected opposition to Nebraska's football game with the Oregon Agrl cultural college, to be played at Port land Ore, next fall, did not develop at the meeting of the Missouri val ley conference schools, held at St Louis yesterday. This Is the word sent to The Daily Nebraskan by Chan cellor Avery, Nebraska's representa tive at the conference and president this year. The conference representatives did. however, adopt a resolution that will absolutely prevent the staging or an other game with the Oregon school t Portland. This resolution, pro posed by Chancellor Avery, makes it imperative that aU games be played on the home grounds of one of the competing schools, and defines home grounds as the place where the ex ecutive offices of the school are lo cated. The executive offices of the Oregon Agricultural college are located at Corvallls, not Portland. President Kern recently wrote the chancellor, however, that all of their football games have been scheduled at Port land and that that city has always been considered their home grounds. This interpretation by President Kern was accepted by the conference dele gates so'that Nebraska may play her game next falL The new rule may cause a clash at some future date, as It Is certain that Nebraska, continuing her record of the past half dozen years. Is going to have offem from schools of great er Importance. Some of them do not play their games on the home grounds but select some large city where the alumni of the institution may have a better opportunity - of seeing their alma mater perform. "When such an offer comes to Nebraska, and Is per force refused on account of the new definition, there will be a strong de mand that the leading Cornhusker school throw off the shackles of the Missouri valley conference, and either move Into higher ranks or become independent The Student Should Know STATION A Do you know that Station A Is the busiest postoffice station In the city? Nearly four thousand people are ac commodated by having it on the cam pus. Station A was established in 1901 and has been steadily growing. Last year the receipts amounted to nearly $18,000, and the money order bai iness done was nearly $25,009. Station A Is the only station In the city that transacts international money order business. Over 1,300 pieces of regis tered taall were handled during the year 1915. Also more than 1,000 in tared and C. O- D. parcels post pack ares were taken care of. There is no account kept in the parcels post FIRE BREAKS OUT IN ARMORY Fire, starting in a small box of sawdust, and probably started by a cigar stub or cigarette, burned a hole a foot square in the Armory floor early Sunday morning. Night Watch man J. W. Bunch saw the flames and was able to put out the blaze before the department came. The fire was in the southwest comer of the Arm ory, and was discovered at 1:40 a. m. The school of agriculture had played a basketball game the evening before. VIViEtltlE HOLLAND WINS WRIST WATCH Secures 256 Cornhusker Buye Fannie Malzacher Second Vivienne Holland won the prize of a gold wrist watch offered by the Cornhusker staff to the girl who se cured the most subscriptions for the year book. She got 256 orders, ten more than Fannie Malzacher, who was second, and won a chafing dish and a Cornhusker. Hester Dickinson was third with 163: Doris Slater fourth, with 142, ana Larue Gillera fifth. TRI DELTS CAPTUREO COLORED COOK How did the Tri Delts get the waiter for their dance Friday night? Was It by bribery, kidnapiag or dark and deadly threats? The men who gave the "James dance" In the Armroy made elaborate preparations for the entertainment of their guests. Parallel bars and side horses were placed artistically In var ious parts of the gymnasium, for those present to sit upon; flying rings were suspended from the ceiling and the balcony was filled with specta tors. Only one thing was lacking no one officiated at the punch bowL Arrangements had ben made for the Delta Upsilon cook to grace this po sition, but he came not Saturday the deserter was called to account for his absence. He insisted he went to the dance and did hi duty. When asked how many couples attended the dance, he said "thirty," for it was the Delta Delta dance at Art hall that had his service, and not the gym dance in the Armory. The mystery Is still unsolved; how did the girls do It? department but It is estimated that nearly 61.000 parcels were sent out during the year ending December 31, and about as many more were re ceived there and delivered either through the boxes, general delivery cr carrier 26.

Last month, slxty-clght odd Jobs were filled. There were thirty-seven steady jobs filled, the majority of which netted the student two or three meals per day. Some of the jobs were worth $30 per month, while others brought In Bums from $10 up. UNIVERSITY NIGHT PROVES POPULAR Best Performance Yet Gallery to Pit Full Muffler On? University Night was held Satur day, the Oliver was packed from pit to gallery witha mob that obeyed the chancellor's request for a judi cious use of the muffler, and the per; formance wasa success, from every point of view. To attempt a criticism of the show when everyone saw it and has formed his own opinion, would be almost reckless, and assured ly useless. Certain it Is that the sketches were on a higher plane than those of a year ago. The last two numbers, "Tiny Thumps" and "The County Fair." were perhaps the least worthy of the performances. The pre-medic sketch was too realistically funny; it was one of the decided hits of the. eve ning. The Phys. Ed. girls, with their tennis drill and their song, were most attractive, and Howard Granden's one string violin, Jimmy Allison's musical horeshoes and Irving Baker's steel guitar were excellent The Glee club and band excelled their former splen did records, and the Palladian and Union skit was good. Sigma Delta Chi, with a clever sketch featuring Ruth Morgan and Eva Miller, and end ing with the annual production of the ever-popular "Shun" had one of the best bits. CORRECTION IN LIST OF SILVER slRPENTS In the lift of Silver Serpents In Friday's paper, the names of Doris Weaver and Ruth Quigley were unin tentionally omitted. Both girls were elected last spring and have "been ac tive members all year. WHAT PROMINENT UNIVERSITY PEOPLE THINK OF THE SINGLE TAX To my mind the adoption of the Single Tax would be the greatest force for the making of good univer sit ycitizenship that has ever been proposed. It equalizes the burden for the support of student activities and wonld nermit because of the added financial backing a high standard in every department The Daily Ne braskan should be a much larger pa per to be commensurate with, the size of our university. It Is doubt i mher the fee as proposed add more money to the athletic troAsorr. but It would awaken an In terest In every student and arouse a (rreat er spirit to inspire our teams In competitive at' letlcs. Within the next few years Nebraska must have FOUR TOWNS GET UNI, WEEK SHOWS DAVID CITY, SEWARD, SCHUYLER AND NORTH BEND SIGN UP Fremont May Take the Shows Plans Now Completed for Vacation Trip David City, Seward, Schuyler, North Bend and possibly Fremont will be the towns visited by Uuiversity Week this eyar, according to an announce made Saturday afternoon by Business Manager Jack Lane, who recently re turned from a trip out in the state. Of the towns which signed contracts this year. David City and Seward are the only ones which tqpk up the proposition when it was first launch ed a year ago. Manager Lane said that practically every town he made was anxious to sign of for the Week, but some towns could not be taken up because of of the mileage and their distance from other cities on the circuit Fre mont is putting up a strong bid for a dace on the schedule, but has put off signing the contract until it can find out for certain whether a place can be found to stage it Those In charge are attempting to put off the tearing down of the taber nacle in which the recent revival meetings were held until after the dates for University Week. If they succeed, Fremont will sign up and complete the list of five. The personnel of the Week this year Is even better than last sprin. It will Include the following: The Cadet band of forty pieces, the Glee club, with thirty men; the Univer sity Players, In "Believe, Me, Xan tippe," the varsity debating teams, on the question of preparedness, and Prof. C. E. Perslnger, on "South America Its Commercial and Politi cal Relations with the United States." The management Is especially pleas ed with the program for this year, and is sure that it will make a still greater Impression than did the pro ductions of a year ago. The varsity debating teams have taken the place of the road show, and will argue the most vital questio nof the day, pre paredness. In putting on "Believe Me, Xantippe," the Dramatic club is putting on a through-and-through made in Nebras ka production, which. It Is believed, will rank equally well with "The Man from Home" of last year. a new gymnasium, a larger athletic field and added playgrounds, and it is going to take the united efforts of every loyal Cornhusker to make the people of the state realize our great need. ' "The great charm of the university is its democracy. Nebraska is per haps the largest university In the country which can point with priie to its record of equal rights to all regardless of riches or "royal' blood. The Single Tax will foster those dem ocratic institutions already estab lished. . "The Single Tax Is not an experi ment Private Institutions through out the country have had It since their founding.
