Hanson Was Chosen Business Manager Through an oversight, the name of Lester W.

After this refreshments will be served and the time spent in dancing in Music hall. Miss Amanda Heppner is giv ing the party and the board of senior girls which was elected last Thurs day night and of which Harriet Ramey is the president, are assist ing her. Sixty senior non-fraternity girls in reply to the notices sent out from the office, have adopted three freshmen girls apiece. They are expected to bring the freshmen girls to the party, to advise them concerning what school activities to enter, to help them in their studies if neces sary, and, in short, to be a real friend to them. The upperclassmen in sororities acting as "mothers" to their freshman "daughters" is part of this movement' and the senior girls should bring their freshmen "daughters" to this party. It Is ex pected that the system will be or ganized earlier next year so that the seniors can help the freshmen in registering "and obtaining rooms."" "Mrs. E.' H. Griswold of Gordon, Neb., is visiting her daughter, Flor ence, at the Alpha Omicron PI house.

"BUILDER OF BRIDGES" TO BE PLAYED TONIGHT University Players Will Pre sent Well-Known Drama PLOT IS INTERESTING Entire Action Full of Thrills Only a Few Choice Seats Left on Sale Which will the hero chooBe the bridge his life-work or the girl? Will the girl marry him the man who loveB her or the man whom she says she loves? Will she sacrifice herself to save her erring brother These are the questions that arise in 'the mind of an audience seeing "The Builder of Bridges." This play, which will be given tonight at 7:30 o'clock In the Temple theatre, is one of the cleverest plays written by Alfred Sutro. Among his plays are "A Marriage Has Been Arranged and "The Bracelet," which has been played by the Washington Square Players. One of the most thrilling situa tions that can be imagined occurs in this play. The heroine, Katharine Pierce, has Just promised to marry a certain rich engineer for the sake of her brother who has embezzeled bonds. Enter her . sweetheart who, being informed of her engagement, exclaims, "But I thought I was en gaged to her." The seats have been selling rapid Iy this week, but a few choice one' may still be obtained at the Col lege book store, RAINBOW TOURNEY TO BE PLAYED SATURDA Seven Teams of Non-Sorority Women Will Decide Basket ball Supremacy University students are invited to attend the Rainbow tournament which is to be held at the Armory at. 1:30 Saturday The meet will start promptly in order that the freshmen may attend the freshmen senior party at the Temple. This tournament is to be of the same nature as the inter-sorority tournament held two weeks ago, but will be entirely between non-sorority women. It will be staged under the auspices of the Women's Athletic association. Seven teams will be entered, and will play through the entire elimination rounds, to decide which color of the "Rainbow" shall be victorious. The winners will be presented with silver friendship bracelets by Mrs. J. G. B. Lee of the physical education department. An additional zest will be added by the fact tha.t the showing made in this meet will have much to do with picking of the class teams. ,A1I the girls entered are stars, and the teams have been practicing to gether, to develop teamwork. There fore, the meet is expected to be as fast and hard-fought as it's classic predecessor. Everyone is urged to attend these games, and are prom ised a well-balanced, well-played series of games. There will be no admission charged. Prof. G. E. Howard Returns From Interesting Trip Prof. George E. Howard, head of the department of sociology and po litical science, and president of the American Sociological society, is now returning from a trip that took him to the University of Lower California, and . from there to Philadelphia, to preside at the twelfth annual session of the sociological society. While at the University of Lower California, he visited the social psychology and municipal problems classes, and their sociological seminar, addressing the students in the various departments.

The next examination will come in May. WESLEYAH EXPECT TO Coyotes Counting Victories for Friday and Saturday Nights NEBRASKA ROOTERS SLUFF st d t B d H Failed to Give Team Support Needed to Help Overcome Handicaps Nebraska's basketball five will temporarily drop out of the Missouri valley fight this week, and turn its attention to the Coyote quintet. Two games will be played, the drst one Friday night at University place, and the second one Saturday night at the Armory. The dope on the game is slightly favorable to the Methodists. They beat the Funston team that walloped the Cornhuskers. But since then, the Huskers have improved . in such a degree that another clash with. Funs ton might tell a different tale. Wes leyan always has turned out top-notch teams that have made strong bids for section honors of the country. The reason for this is that at the smaller school, basketball is made the main issue, Just as football is the big thing at Nebraska. As a consequence, the Coyotes have usual ly managed to defeat the Husker. Anyway, Wesleyan .has already counted the game at University Place as her's, and is even expecting to come out victor Saturday- night. This fact ln itself ls not causing Coach Stewart so much worry, be cause he knows that he has a team that is back of him and that will fight with a spirit that will acquit it crediably, win or lose. But he is in no wise so certain about the spirit of the general stu dent body. It Is an undiaputabje fact that Nebraska' footers have been Bluffing badly in their support of the basketball team this season. The crime ls all the greater because of the fact that, facing the greatest odds ever put against a Nebraska quintet, the team ls battling with gameness and sportsmanship that is putting Nebraska on the map even more than a winning team would. In every other school in the conference, the basketball attendance is steadily in creasing. Co-eds are turning out to the games in force. Here, the inter est is dwindling. ' And support helps a lot in a basketball game. Several followers of the game have declared that if the Scarlet and Cream gve had had the support it deserved in the last game with Kansas last week, the final score would have been turned around. Wesleyan has always been noted for the spirit exhibited at Its athletic contests. Nebraska's rooters are in grave danger of being outdone by a school less than half its size. MEETING CALLED BY SENIOR PRESIDENT Will Elect All Other Class Of- fleers and Discuss Vital Topics Elizabeth Erazlm, newly elected senior class president has started the final semester's work of the class of 1918 off with a rush by calling a class meeting for this morn ing at 11:30 in room 101 Law build ing. All officers for the semester with the exception of president will be chosen at this time and It ls rumored that several other topics of vital Interest to every senior will be discussed. A special invitation has been Is sued by the new president and has been seconded "by a large number of the boys of the class to the girls, to attend this meeting. The class roll contains nearly 250 names at pres ent, the large majority of whom are girls, and upon them will fall the largest share of the burden for run ning the affairs of the class this semester. Owing to the lateness of the elec tions and the early date of gradua tion the class of 1913 will have to rush plans for the usual events which have been held in other years. t
