Battlna Wins for Bar
rister Nine
The rejuvenated law team won
from the School o; Commerce by a
score of 4 to 1 yesterday afternoon
on Nebraska field. Harney, the new
manager, presented what seems to be
the most formidable team in the
Klepser and McMullen, the Law
hntterv. worked in machine-like or
der, while the Commerce pitchers
were hit quite freely. Rutherford
iimnirftw: the game, and was crabbed
by both sides when his decisions did
not suit them.
The Laws went down in one, two,
three order in the first half of the
first inning, while the Commercials
received the same treatment. The
second inning saw Harney pushed
across the plate by his two-bagger, a
steal and Angel's single. The Com
mercials got one when Gillette was
hit and annexed the other bases by
poor throwing of the Law infield.
Pickett got a three-bagger, but was
caught off third.
' The Laws got three in the third,
when McMullen was passed, Schwab
got to first on an error, Halligan got
a two-base hit and Presley lined a
single down past third. This ended
the scoring. The Commercials were
at Klepser's mercy the rest of the
game, while Smith kept the Laws' hits
scattered.

HIGH PRICE OF PAPER
AFFECTSJTUDENTS
Effect of the European War Noted In
100 Per Cent Advance In
Note Book Sheets
War prices on paper have touched
the student pocketbook with an ad
vance of almost 100 per cent in the
cost of the ordinary history paper
used in most of the university class
es. The letter writers have noted
that stationery for business and social
use has raised in price corresponding
ly, and a general question of "Why?"
has been asked the bookstores around
the campus.
The answer Is found in the effect
of the war. European paper mills are
closed down, paper and wood pulp
products are used in the manufacture
of explosives, and importations from
Canada have almost ceased.
The situation has become almost se
rious, so much so that the bigger buel
ness houses are urging the saving of
all paper possible. Cofnmercial clubs
in various cities are helping in the
campaign to save the paper, and
President Wilson has even Interested
himself in the work by asking the
merchants to save on wrapping.

Unlovely Pink-eye
Seizes Students
Pink-eye, most unlovely malady,
has seized the university and is
spreading among the male students.
The contagion came from where no
one knows, and whither it goest is
likewise a matter of extreme doubt,
so much so that the men of two rath
er prominent fraternities are all on
the anxious seat.
Perhaya a dozen cases of the pink
eye have broken out during the past
few days. All of the sufferers have
been men, but the announcement that
the co-eds are infected too is not un
expected. How the little germ gets
around is not exactly known, but it
seems to get there Just the same.

CALEY WANTS PAY
FOR WORK IN PLAY
hminm to Meet Today to Decide
Whether Business Manager
Should Receive Money
The junior class will meet this morn
ing in what is expected to be a live
ly and most interesting session, as
J. Lorin Caley, manager of the junior
play, will ask the class to pay him
for his work, according to reports.
This request is expected to meet with
opposition.
The olay made a profit of approxi
mately $140, Caley announced after
the performance. It is understood
that he is asking to be paid 25 per
cent of the first $100, and a certain
percentage for all over that amount.
The sum that was realized on the
play is unusually large, and it has
more frequently been the rule that
the play went into the hole instead
of clearing any money.
Those who favor paying the busl
ness manager declare that it is so un
usual to make a profit that the mana
ger should be rewarded when he does
turn in a surplus. Others are op
posed to any payments, declaring that
the honor of managing the play is
one that plenty of juniors would have
taken without asking for remunera
tion, and that other members of the
committee and cast worked as hard
as the business manager without
either expecting or receiving money.
CONVOCATION
A debate on the "Single Tax" will
be held at convocation this morning.
W. S. Jacobsen, '18. and J. G. Young,
18, are the two who will argue the
question.
Entries for the university handball
tournament will close tonight. Dr. R.

ENGLAND EDUCATES
HER WAR PRISONERS
R. S. EWING, FORMER Y. M. C. A.
SECRETARY, WRITES OF WORK
Subjects Cover a Wide Field Seven
Tenths of the Prisoners Reg
ister for Study
R. S. Ewing, former general secre
tary of the University Y. M. C. A.,
has written to members of the cabi
net, telling of the stupendous amount
of educational work being done
among the prisoners in the camps of
England, in which Ewing has been
working since early last fall. A course
of study embracink forty-two differ
ent subjects in a camp of 1,000 men,
700 of whom are enrolled as students,
indicates the size of the undertaking
in which Ewing is engaged.
In speaking of this work, Ewing
writes as follows: "You chaps over
there may get the impression that it
takes a university to do educational
work which is being done in one of
tie bit swelled up on that score, I
am sending you an outline of the
wrok which is being done in one of
the camps which we are operating.
This is the weekly schedule, and you
will notice that it includes a course
of study embracing forty-two different
subiects with an enrollment of 700.
This in a camp of 1,000 men, and I
think represents a very interesting
Diece of work. It certainly illustrates
what can be done where we have a
chance of getting at the men in an
effective manner. You will note that
the lectures given cover a very wide
range of subjects."
Ewing a Lecturer
Ewing himself is included in the
course o! study as lecturer on India.
To illustrate the wide range of top
ics covered, a few of the titles are
given: "German South Africa," "Folk
Stories vs. Low Class Novels," "The
Life of Fishes," "Combustion En
gines," "Conservation of Water," "The
Sphere of the Merchant," and "Na
ture and Significance of Stenog
raphy." Among the general illustrated , lec
tures were talks on the Panama canal,
first aid to the injured, the Russo
Japanese war, London, the making of
books, and journey through Amer
ica. Business Lectures
The merchants' association super
vised a serieB of lectures on business
topics. Such subjects as "Wages,"
"Iron and Steel Works," "History of
Trade in Ancient Times," "Advertis
ing." "Trust Laws," "Trade in Mod
ern Times" and "Employes Insur
ance" were handled in this course.
Most of the high school branches,
the modern languages, especially Eng
lish. French and German, landscape
gardening, music, stenography and
even machine building are also In
cluded in the prison camp school cur
riculum. BRISK SEAT SALE

The advance sale of seats for

sented at the Oliver theatre Wednes

cording to the business manager.
