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

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.

LYELL RUSHTON
It is really too romantic to keep it
under the hat any longer. 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.

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. .

their ingenuity as to the bill of fare.
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.

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
