COIIIUSKER PLANS COMPLETION Management Offlers $5 for Best Set of Snapshots WANTS SOLDIER PICTURES Apathy of Student! Towards 8ub .crlptlon Campaign Continues Other Schools Doing Better A Cornhuuker prize of $5 Is of fered for the best set of snapshots turned Into the Cornhusker office for use In the annual. In It efforts to portray all phases' of University life the management has taken this means ii order that; Interesting campus scenes, student stunt's and joke pictures may be added to the already large number of unique sec tions of the book. No Joke section will be run in this year's annual, but use will be made of the pictures for which the prize is offered. In connection with other sections of the book. Those snap shots already turned in by students will be considered in the award of the prize. The last day for taking Individual senior and Junior pictures for the Cornhusker has passed. Wednesday was the deadline. Individual Bopho more pictures may be taken for some time yet. One week will be allowed seniors and Juniors in which to pay for their Cornhusker cuts if they have not al ready done so. Many students have had sittings at Townsend's but have failed to pay the necessary charges. They will have until next Tuesday to do so. The upperclass pictures will be sent to -the engravers m aoouii two weeks, thereby necessitating Im mediate payment. . ' Wants Soldiers Pictures The Cornhusker editorial manage ment continues to appeal to students to contribute snaps and other pic tures of University men who are now in the nation's service. While a large number of these pictures will appear in the yearbook,' the response of students to the management's re quest has not been as ' enthusiastic as was desired. rtna asrotn ft ia Honlrfll that the - titu fiaiu - " -. fact these pictures can be used and returned without being injured should be made known. A great deal of the success of the annual of the type ot the Cornhusker de pends upon the material turned in by "students. .If a truly representa tive book is to be issued, featuring the University's war activities, stu dent support must ' be behind the annual. Subscription Campaign Slow The apathy of students toward the Cornhusker subscription campaign has lessened, but slightly this week, although a large number of girls are soliciting for subscriptions. The management desires t point out that 2,600 subscriptions to the Gopher, the University of Minnesota yearbook were taken during their subscription campaign, and even Kansas has ex ceeded Nebraska's total of less than a thouoand. Minnesota although hav ing a larger registration than - Ne braska has lost a greater number 01 its men students and the support of the book has fallen on the women.

( 111 ' " I I Prof. Julia Vance Speaks at Vespers Miss Julia Vance, head of the home economics department, who has Just returned from Washington, spoke at Vespers Tuesday in Y. W. C. A. rooms. Her subject was "A Woman's Patriot ism." Helen Humpe presided. Leila Ferguson sang. "There are many phases of the war situation, said Miss Vanco. We have been afraid ot not having enough coal, wheat, moat and other things. But when we think of our problem com pared to the big world problems, it seems very small. Last November, the people in Wash ington were very excited, v Now they are quiet, self-controlled and deter mined. The situation regarding food is no moro serious than the situation of transportation. The south has never been self-supporting. They have raised mostly cot ton and have been entirely dependent upon northern states for food, espe cially cereals. The south must now raise their own food. Food is a telling factor. The matter of substitution Is very serious. It Is a matter ot saving food to keep our allies alive. I think there Is no one who would not send all they could to Europe." The program opens with addresses ot welcome by Governor Keith Neville, Mayor J. E. Miller, and Mr. B. A. George, president ot the Lin coln Commercial club. Papers and lectures on such sub jects as "Need of Better Roads." "Grading and Grading Machinery," and "Road Surveys,, Maps and Esti mates," with discussions by dele gates, and illustrated lectures make up the greater part of "the pro gram. ' There will be inspected trips Thursday and Friday afternoons. The institute closes with ' a ban quet Friday evening. G. D. Swezey to Lecture on Coming Eclipse of Sun "The Coming Total Eclipse ot the Sun, June 8," will be the address given before the Sigma XI ly G. D.

BULLDOG QUINTET LOOMS Nip and Tuck Battles Expected With Drake Crew STEWART IS OPTIMISTIC Management Once More Appeal to v,. Student Body to Back Up Team Trospects for an exciting game of basketball for this week are assum ing big proportions as the time for the advent of the Bulldogs into Corn-" husker territory draws nearer. From the advance dope that has been gleaned concerning the quality of th Drake aggregation, It Is safe to Bay that they are putting forth every ounce of effort that they can to wards winning, and it Is bound to be nip and tuck battle if Nebraska is' to come out of the melee with the big end of the score. The win ning of the game last week from the Kansas Aggies has only tended to put' an added amount of pep and fight into the Drake men, and the fact that the game -was a close one has only made them work that much harder in preparing for the mix with the Huskers this week. However, Doc Stewart expressed him self as very well satisfied with the way things were going, and seemed to take a very optimistic attitude as to the outcome of the games. Sev eral of the men who have been on the sick list , since the battle with Wesleyan last week will be able to be out tonight for practice and will undoubtedly be Jn the line-up for the fray on Friday and Saturday. Want Bio Crowd Out There is one thing, however, that is very necessary to, the welfare of Nebraska's success, and that is the support of the student " body. Last week there was only about two-thirds of a crowd out to witness the scrap with the Coyotes. This is certainly out of all proportion with Nebraska spirit. Student association tickets will admit to both the games this week and there is no reason why we should not have the Armory full to overflowing. The first game will be Friday evening at 7:30. The sec ond game, which was to have been played Saturday evening, due to the fact that that is University Night, will have to be staged at 3- olclock Saturday afternoon. Let'B all get out and help show the team to victory. Do your bit. CONVOCATION Convocation this morning will be a program by the University cadet band,' under the direction of Prof. C. B. Cornell. The following pro gram will be given: Overture "Martha" Flotow Egyptian Ballett Luigini Walse Espana Waldtol University Ode ..Prof. C. B. Cornell CO-ED INTER-CLASS MEET THIS SATURDAY Picked Stars .From Previous Tournaments to Play for Final Championship The co-ed inter-class basket-ball tournament which will be "held Sat urday,. March 2, from 9 to 12 o'clock in the Armory, . promises to be even more interesting than either the inter-sorority or the Rainbow meet. The fact that competitton for places on the class teams has never before been so strong is probably due to the enthusiasm stirred up by these two preceding tournaments. . First, second and possibly third teams will be picked from the star players of the preyious meets. Some very good centers and goal-throwers, as well as guards and forwards will take part. More time is being spent by the girls each day in basketball practice and even the star players are daily becoming more expert. The captain of the purple team recently UP STRONG Dr. A. Q. Toole and 0. H. Gish to Enter for War Work O. H. Gish and Dr. A. Q. Toole, of the physics department, will both leave this week for the east, where they will enter into war work for the government. Mr. Gish has re signed from the University, and will go into the Westlnghouse electrical laboratories at Pittsburgh, Penn. Dr. Toole will go to Washington, where he will do researth work in the bureau ot weights and measures.

NEBRASKA SENDS EIGHT MEN TO INDOOR MEET Townsend, Grau, Graf, Finney, Reese, McMahon, Yort, and Stevens to Be Sent For the first time in several years Nebraska will send a team of men to the indoor track meet at Kansas City this week-end with a hope of bringing home a good share of-the honors. Eieht men will make up the party 'hat Coach Stewart will take to the meet. Captain Townsend, Grau, Graf, Fin ney, Reese, McMahon, Yort and Stevens will represent the Cornhusk ers in the. Missouri city. Of these Townsend, Grau, Graf, Fmey and Reese have been through the test of hard meets and have proven to be valuable men. Townsend will be a member of the relay team and will probably run in the quarter-mile race aswell. Grau will run in the relay and also try for a place in the thousand-yard run. If he is in good condition Grau good pace to beat him out. . Stevens and McMahon will probably compete should make all competitors go at a the relay team, with Yort as alter nate. Finney will be entered In the 50 yard low hurdles, which he even stands a good chance of copping, in spite of his lack of condition. Last year Finney ran a close second to the mighty Simpson in this event. Graf, who Js almost unbeatable at two miles, will try his luck in the mile, and should pull down a place. Reese, who won the shot put In the Missouri Valley conference meet last year will enter that event at the Kansas City meet and ( should be well up among the first four when the putting has been completed. ' The team will leave Lincoln Frl- day night, getting into Kansas City early Saturday morning. The meet will be held in the Coliseum that night TOOMIIEIIT ILL BE BIGGEST EVER 111 Entries Already Received for High School Meet STARTS NEXT WEDNESDAY "N" Men Will Help In Entertainment Idea Developed by Nebraska The prospects for the success of the- annual high school basketball tournament, which will be staged here next week under the auspices of the athletic department, are get ting better every day, and the pres ent indications are that this year's tournament will far eclipse any event of the kind that has ever been held here before, or for that matter, anywhere. One hundred and eleven high schools have sent in their entries already and as the en tries will not close until Saturday, there Is every reason to believe that the number to participate this year will be greater than last year, when there were 110 schools represented. The games this year promise to be of much greater interest than heretofore owing to the new ruling of the Nebraska High School Ath letic association, which allows a team to play but one game each day. This ruling is bound to keep the boys on the various teams in better physical rendition, and thus able to play a hp.tter brand ot basketball than if they were forced to play several games in one day and wear tnem selves out Also, it will permit the ninv tn be longer: all the games excepting the finals, will be played in fifteen-minute halves. The ball wHi ntftHi rollin. at 9 o'clock next Wednesday morning, four floors the Armory, the Chapel, the Y. M.'C. A. and the Auditorium will be occupied during the first day's play, after which the chapel will be eliminated and only the larger floors used. "N" Men to Assist Since such a large affair will bring many young men into Lincoln from the various towns of the state, it is quite a problem to properly look after and entertain such a large ag gregation. Coach-Stewart has suc cessfully solved this difficulty by en listing the aid of the MNM club. This club is composed of all men in the University who have won their "N" in any of the athletic contests. These men are all mere or less well known about the campus, and when dolled out in their red sweaters, sporting on the front a big white "N", they should prove to be of a great deal of assistance in taking care of the high school boys. It Is planned that they will act in such capacities as score-keepers, gate keepers, and various like officials be sides being a sort of information bu reau upon which the visitors can call at any time. Is a Distinctive . Nebraska Idea This idea of a high school basket tournament is one which Nebraska has worked out and developed from its infancy. And it is one of which Nebraska may well be proud, for it has the. distinction of being the big gest thing of its kind anywhere to be found in the world. That it has a very high standing out in the state is evidenced by the fact that every year thus far the number of entries has Increased, and it is only due to the war and the consequent tendency to economize that the entries for this year have not already far exceeded those of previous years. But as one out-state principal expresses it: "I know of no bigger experience that can come to a high school boy than the trip tothe big tournament in Lincoln." 300 UNIVERSITY NIGHT TICKETS YET ON SALE Performance Will Last From 7:15 to 10:15, With Short Waits Between Acts Like hot cakes right out of the griddle, the seats for .
