primarily for the purpose of picking
the men who will make the trp to the
Drake Relay Carnival which takes
place the 20th of this month at Pes
Moines. From the appearance of
things at present the contests should
be of the snappy variety as there are
quite a number of men trying out for
the various events.
Nebraska is entered in six events at
the meet.
Nebraska in 6 Events
Four-mile intercollegiate relay.
Two-mile intercollegiate relay.
One-mile inteccollegiate relay.
Half-mile intercollegiate relay.
100-yard dash.
Pole vault.
Graf, Byron McMahon, Hansen and
Grau all look pretty good in the four-
mile affair, and there are a number of j
good men out for the 2-mile. In the;
mile relay there is a wealth of ma- j
terial and it is very probable that j
much the same team will be used as ;
was used to defeat the Kansas four !
at Kansas City. H. McMahon and
Bryan s look good in ithe 100, and for
the pole vault about the only men out
are Gerhart and Towle. Altogether
Nebraska has a good chance to cop
off the honors at Des Moines 1f things
continue to develop as they give prom
ise of doing. The tryouts tomorrow
are open to the students, and it is
hoped that a good number will be out
to witness the work of the spring
athletes.

Proceeds of All-University
Party to Base Hospital
TO ARRANGE SERVICE FLAG
Student Committee Will Care for
Financing and Planning of
Nebraska Emblem
At a meeting of the General Party
committee last night at the Temple, it
was decided to turn over the entire
proceeds of the next all-University
party, which is to be held Saturday,
April IS. at the Armory, to a fund
which is to be raised to furnish equip
ment for the base hospital of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. The action was
taken after the proposal of the plan
by representatives of Black Masque.
The party will be somewhat on the
order of a carnival, and there will be
amusements of various kinds, refresh
ments and dancing.
An announcement for the faculty
division of the Patriotic League, was
Inade by Dean Amanda Heppner. It
was the requestor TheTaculty members
that the students assume the respon
sibility for the arrangement and
financing of the Service Flag, which is
to be made for the University men
who have enlisted. A committee for
this work will soon be appointed by
Dr. Wrinifred Hyde, with power to act
and have the flag compietea ana
placed as soon as possible.
RED TRIANGLE PLEDGES'
ARE NEARLY ALL PAID
Entire Quota Is In the Hands of
the Collectors on Monthly
Payment Plan
The Red Triangle pledges made last
November are coming in in fine shape,
according to the committee in charge.
At the close of the big Red Triangle
Rally at the Auditorium last Novem
ber, when everyone had pledged their
utmost under the inspiration of the
enthusiasm created by the rally and
the indicator pointed to $ 23,000 in
pledges, some pessimistic crepe-hanger
shouted, "And now collect." His
cry was repeated and it was clearly
up to Nebraska to silence that sus
picion. She has done so to the com
plete satisfaction of the most optimis
tic prophets, and comparisons show
,, Vehraska University is among
the very first in the United States not
only in the amount pledged, but in
the way the pledges are being paid up.
The committee reports that about
$15,000 has already been paid In on
the monthly payment plan, t-taie-,t.nt
am heine sen out. to all pledge
makers at this time by the student
activities office, so that every one will
be able to know exactly how much he
pledged and the smount now due. It
will also encourage the students to
keep their monthly payments tip so
that a biK lump sum will not be due
at the end of the year.

apparatus will claim the attention of
the girls.
The C. E. and M. A. departments
will have a display of blue prints and
mechanical drawings. Several men
will be at work in these laboratories,

as these laboratories are the ones
which will be used to train the drafted
men for the aviation and motor ser

FINAL CHANCE TO ENTER
May Be Turned Over To Drafted
Men Soon Number cf At
tendants Increasing
Now is the last chance for the stu
dents to enroll in the Radio-Telegraph
school, who want to complete the
course by the close of this semester.
The possibilities of using this school
for training drafted men will no doubt
necessitate the closing of voluntary
enlistments. So men, who intend to
enlist in the SInal Corps." the se
lect branch of the army, should take
advantage of Nebraska's Rudio De
part ment and enroll at once.
Since the establishment cf the Ra-dio-Telerrarh
school at the Univer
sity last September, seventy-five men
have been transferred into active serv
ice, according to a statement made
