sudden changes." dropped out at the

DEFINES ADVERTISING
FIELD JOR PAPERS
Publication Board Announces New
Policy, Giving only the Nebraskan
and Agriculture a Clear Field
The Dally Nebraskan and Agricul
ture will in the future be the only Uni
versity student publications riot lim
ited in their field of advertising soli
citation according to a decision of the
student publication board made at a
meeting Friday noon in the student
activities office.
Other publications, as the Blue
Print, the Pharmacy annual, Shucks,
and the Home Economics annual are
to be restricted to the particular field
of business which the publication rep
resents. No particular solicitation is given
by the board to other publications,
such as the Cornhusker and Awgwan.
They are not barred, however, from
accepting Lincoln advertising ob
tained by methods devoid of urgency.
The action of the board was taken
to protect the Lincoln merchants
whose advertising has been a steady
source of income for University pub
lications, from a too-heavy solicitation
by student managers of the publica
tions. Too much pressure mignt De
brought upon the merchants, a pres
sure that would be undesirable, In the
opinion of the publication board.
The Dally Nebraskan Is the official
daily newspaper of the University and
is its generally acknowledged adver
tising medium. Agriculture, a month
ly published by students In the college
of agriculture, has been published for
a long time and has attained a recog
nized position closely akin to that
held by the Nebraskan.
The other publications are not ex
pected to be injured by the action of
the board, as their own field remains
for them. It is .felt, rather, that all
the publications will benefit.
DIED WHILE AT
WORIUTIURSDAY
A. C. Sharrlck, Carpenter, in the Em
ploy of the University for 16
. Years; .Dropped Dead
Alfred C. Sharrick, 61 years old, a
carpenter in the wmploy of the Uni
versity for sixteen years, died from
apoplexy while at work at his bench
in the carpenter shop north of Uni
versity hall Thursday evening, shortly
before 6 o'clock. Kis funeral was held
yesterday at 2 p. m. at his home, 1801
Garfield street, with burial in Wyuka.
Mr. Sharrlck had been feeling poor
ly for some time, but continued his
work In the University carpenter
shop. Death came without warning
while he was finishing up his work
for the day prior to going home.
PHI PSIS WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP
Defeatt Alpha Tau Omega 15-11 Friday
In Final Interfrat Basketball
Qame
The Phi Kappa Psi basketball team
sprung one of the biggest surprises in
years when it outplayed the Alpha
Tau Omega team and won 15 to 11;
thus winning the inter-fraternity bas
ketball championship, last Friday
night.
The game was full of thrills and
rough playing. The big feature was
the team work of the Phi Psls, who
time after time took the ball down
the field in a series of machine-like
passes.
The Individual stars of the contest
were Schumacher of the A. T. O's. and
Selzer of the Phi Pais. Schumacher
made six of his team's points, with
three long, sensational shots. Selzer
played all over the floor and made five
points for his team.
Close guarding by the winners was
another factor in the victory. The
A. T. O's. could not make long ones
count consistently and they could not
get close enough to the basket to
make short ones. Kellogg, Cook and
Porter all played excellent games.
The score at the end of the first
half was 12 to 7 in favor of the Phi
Psis, but even with the score against
them the A. T. O. supporters would
not acknowledge that the Phi Psis
could win. But as the game pro
gressed and the A. T. O's. could not
catch up, hope gradually dwindled.
It was a championship battle worthy
of the name, and will be remembered
by those who saw It as a real gasket-
ball game.
