TO CHOOSE TRACK TEAM&SATURDAY INTER-CLASS MEET TO PICK VAR SITY AND FROSH SQUADS r.naeh Reed Believe Cornhuskers Will Clean Up In Track ThU Year The varsity and Ireshmen track teams will be chosen Saturday after noon, when the first big outdoor track meet of the year will be held on Ne braska field. The meet will be an inter-class affair, with the dope ap parently favoring the two underclasses. From the men who show the best form in the various events will be selected the university team that will repre sent Nebraska in her dual meets, and the freshmen who show up the best will be placed on the first year team that wlil have several little track ses sions of its own. . Guy Reed, coach, declared yesterday afternoon that it was his firm convic tion that Nebraska would have a bet ter track team this year than for a number of years past. Last year the season was almost a failure, but the new material in sight, and the im provement in some of the old, seems to warrant the coach in the belief that the Cornhuskers will equal their foot ball and basketball records of 1916-1C, on the track and in the field. BASEBALL SCHEDULE FOR FRATERNITIES The inter-fraternity baseball schedule is given below. The frats have been divided into two divisions, which will play until each fraternity has played every other fraternity in its division. The one having the highest percentage will be champions of its division, and will play the champion of the other division for the inter-fraternity cham pionship. One game must be played each week. First Division Acacia vs. Alpha Tau Omega; Alpha Sigma Phi vs. Delta Upsilon; Alpha Theta Chi vs. Delta Chi; Beta Theta Pi vs. Delta Tau Delta. Alpha Tau Omega vs. Delta Upsilon; Acacia vs. Delta Chi; Alpha Sigma Phi vs. Delta Tau Delta; Alpha Theta Cbi vs. Beta Theta Rl.

The spec tacle of Lyell Rushton peeling spuds, cracking nuts, and preparing such other edibles as sorority girls thrive upon this domestic scene should not be hidden. . It happened this way, at the Delta Gamma house: The girl who is wont to prepare the menus for the D. G.'s went a-vlslting, last week-end, and the girls were with out p cook. So they allotted the dif ferent meals to different girls to pre pare in couples, letting them exercise EASTER SONG SERVICE AT Y. W. C. A. VESPERS An Easter song service was given at Y. W. C. A. vespers last night, the program consisting of a 'cello solo by Miriam Little and vocal solos by Clara Hill and Beth Bonnell. The services were led by Marian Reeder. There was a large attendance. WOULD RAISE FRATS IN SCHOLASTIC WORK National Inter-Fraternity Council Se curing Information Many of the local fraternities have received questionaires from national officers, on behalf of the national inter fraternity council, in which the pro portion of fraternity men who grad uate, the reasons for leaving school of those who drop out, and other similar questions are asked. The inter-fraternity officers are making an exhaustive study of scholar ship conditions in the fraternity world, with the desire of learning the reason for low standards where they are found, and discovering the means of raising them. The Nebraska fraterni ties are making a very good showing in the reports, it is said. . Sigma Phi vs. Delta Chi; Alpha Theta Chi vs. Delta Tau Delta; Beta Theta Pi vs. Alpha Tau Omega.

The dinners and suppers and break fasts and luncheons were really quite good, it is said. Rushton happened out that way one Afternoon, learned the condition of affairs, and promptly declared cheff ing one of his strong points. He was put to work, and in the most approved fashion skinned the potatoes, and pounded the steak that is, if delicate, girls eat steaks that must be pounded, Rushton did it But they couldn't persuade him to stay and enjoy the meal he helped prepare. SENIORS WILL PLAY CLYDE FITCH COMEDY Abandon "Love's Labor Lost" Be cause of General Dissatisfaction Instead of Shakespeare's "Love's Labor Lost," the senior class of the university will present as its play this year Clyde Fitch's "The Girl With the Green Eyes." The change in the play was made because of the general dissatisfaction in the class over the former choice. The try-outs will be held Saturday afternoon at the Temple theatre at 2 o'clock. The book is on the reserve desk of the library. There are twenty two good parts in the play, and with the change, a large nmber are expected to try out. Y. W. C. A.

GARRETT EDITED YESTERDAY'S DAILY The editor of the Engineer's number of The Daily Nebraskan, issued yester day, was M. M. Garrett, junior in the engineering college, and member of Sigma Tau. Garrett had collected a great deal of splendid material that could not be used, but it is hoped that space will be found before the end of Engineering Week to publish all of it. STUDENTS PLAY WARD POLITICS Many Glean Sheckels in Boosting for Candidates Many university men received their first initiation into ward politics yes terday, when from 8 until 8 o'clock, during the time the polls were opened, they passed out cards for various can didates, at the rate of $2.50 or $3 a day. The year of a presidential elec tion is always a fruitful one for the students who need a little money, and none were disappointed who wanted work Tuesday. Some of the campaigns on the last day were managed locally by univer sity students. Chas. E. Epperson, and William Ritchie, Jr., an alumnus, helped many needy ones to a few extra "cartwheels." European Technical Colleges A complete discussion of the sub ject, "Technical Education in Europe," is not possible in a short article; and as the writer from personal observa tion only knows the technical colleges of Germany and the Scandinavian countries, a more detailed description will be given of these institutions than of those of other European coun tries. It might be of interest first to give an outline of the early history of some of the European technical colleges. The majority of these institutions had a very modest start as trade and building schools, nearly all of the pres ent German colleges started as such about one hundred years ago. The oldest real technical college conducted upon the modern plan (net merely a trade school) is the Ecole Poly tech nique in Paris, which was established in 1794. The next was a similar in stitute at Prague, Bohemia, which adopted the system of the Paris insti tute in 1806; then came the institute at Vienna, which mads a similar change in 1815. The technical colleges in Germany and other European countries were all founded during the nineteenth cen tury. A German technical college is, con trary to what is the case in this coun try, always separated from other col leges, where law, medicine, etc., are taught; such a college of the highest type is called Technlsche Hochschule, literally translated into English, Tech nical High School: it might also rightly be translated with the English word "University," as a similar Insti tution in this country would be called a university, although the German word Universitat only applies to an institution where other sciences, as law and medicine are taught. In some countries, for Instance Bel gium, England and Russia, the uni versities have an engineering col- TWENTY HOURS JOY IS IVYJAY PLAN CITY CAMPUS AND ELECTRIC PARK TO BE USED Usual Ceremonies, With Added Stunts Dancing to be a Feature Twenty hours of stunts is planned for Ivy Day, May 10, according to the announcements made at the meeting of all Ivy Day committees in Law 101 yesterday. A morning program on the city campus, and an afternoon and evening program at Electric park, will make the day the most enjoyable holi day of the present year, and of past years too, according to the plans of the committees. It is planned to have the usual morn ing exercises on the campus the crowning of the May Queen, the plant ing of the ivy, the singing of the song and the May Pole dance, the senior class poem, and the Ivy Day oration. Guy Chambers will have the oration, but the name of the May Queen is known only to a select circle of the Black Masques and the girl herself, and its revelation will as usual be one of the most interesting things on the program. The afternoon stunts are to start at 1:30 at Electric park, southeast of Lin coln. The entire resort, concessions and all, has been leased for the day. There will be dancing on the ball room floor all afternoon and evening, except for the hours when other stunts are planned. From 1:30 until 2:30 there will be games, dancing and athletic contests. At 3:30 the Innocents who will direct the activities during 1916-17, will be ta6pped. The Black Masques will be chosen also, and this ceremony will last until 5. Dancing will then be resumed. The band will play at 6:30, giving an open air concert while the picnickers are launching. At 8:30, in the open air theatre at the park, var ious organizations will present dra matic sketches, and after that dancing will complete the evening. NEXT SUBSCRIPTION DANCE APRIL 29 Dancing at Capital Beach, With Boat ing in Moonlight The second subscription dance of the year will be given April 29, at Capital Beach, with Max Miller and Joe Seacrest in charge. This will be the first of the open air parties, and the managers declare that there is already a heavy demand for tickets. Ward's enlarged orchestra of fifteen pieces will play the seductive and blar ing strains for the one-steppers. Ar rangements have been made for those who like the water on a moonlight evening to secure boats, and the whole affair will be a splendid party, if Miller and Seacrest can be believed. lege, as In this country, but both In England and Russia separate engineer ing colleges exist on the Germau plan. It is a curious fact that up till about 20 or 30 years ago the technical col leges of Germany were by the general public and also by the universities thought of as inferior institutions as compared with the universities. The cause of this is probably that all of the leading institutions have bad a very humble start as a small trade and building school and the general (Continued on page 2)
