Never was coed more modest and leniure. nor yet so exclusive. She trolled about the campus with dreamy eyes "far from the maddening crowd." The girls looked at her curiously, seme of them looked surprised, and others more interested. The uni versity men without exception turned and stared at her as sho passed. Many were the comments as to her Identity, her Intentions, and her reason for entering our college. Re marks on her appearance disturbed her not at all for she stayed close to the library and continued to gaze placidly at the hurrying students. Just as some of the bolder ones had made up their minds to accost her a man entered the back gate, put a rope about her neck and led her back to the State Farm. UNIVERSITY GRADUATE RECEIVES HIGH HONORS Elected a Corresponding Member in the French Academie des Sciences. One of the highest honors that can fall to the lot of any scientific man was conferred upon an American en gineer, with the election of Dr. J. A L. Waddell, 11, consulting engineer of New York and Kansas City, as a Corresponding Member in the Acad emie des Sciences. Such membership is the most highly coveted distinction among the scientists of Europe, for the organization is both old and se lect. For a year past there has been a vacancy in the list of corresponds members in the Mechmanical Section of the Institute owing to the death of General Zeboudskl of Russia, who was assassinated during an uprising of the populace of Petrograd. The Academie chose Dr. Waddell to fill the vacancy, basing their selection upon the value to practical science of his numerous books, papers and ad dresses on both the theory and prac tice of engineering, as well as upon his contributions to the development of technical education. One of his books was translated into French and was published by the French govern ment. The Academie des Sciences was in augurated in 1795, and during the suc ceeding 123 years there have been only eighteen corresponding members chosen from the United States, Dr. Waddell being the nineteenth. Dr. Waddell is a loyal supporter of Nebraska University, which institu tion, in 1911. conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Engi neering and he has given a sum of $1,000.00 to be used as a permanent loan fund for students of the Engi neering College who may need finan cial assistance. PROM WILL BE HELD BUT ECONOMY WINS A Junior Promenade will be held by University of Wisconsin students this year, after all, but it will be an eco nomical, "compromise Prom," lacking in many features of before-the-war splendor. The Prom controversy, which inter ested the campus for a week or more, was ended last week by the following announcement of the faculty commit tee on students' life and Interests: "Inasmuch as the students have rec ognized the validity of the original ob jections of the committee and have shown a desire to meet these objec tinos in an effective way, the commit tco has vetd to grant, permission for the Prom on the terms named in the students' petition." After the committee's first action opopsing a costly promenade, and urging that the affair, if held at all, should be a modest homecoming ball for returned soldiers, the students (Continued on Page Three) LINCOLN, TIIimSDAY, FEHKUAUY EGISLATORS ENJOY "A DOLL'S HOUSE" Lea Lipsey and Leonard Woollen Star in the Leading Char acter Roles.

Dr. Avery, who has been in the chemical warfare service at Washing ton, spoke on the subject of "Science and the War," describing the former articles which now, through the de velopment of American science, are produced in the United States more efficiently than in Europe. He gave a short account of the development )f the gas-mask and its use in mod ern warfare, and of the very impor tant parts played by chemistry and physics practically applied in war fare. Following this meeting a "Getting Acquainted Tea" was held in the Home Economics Hall, with Mrs. S A. Avery, Mrs. E. A. Burnett, Miss Alice Loomis and Mrs. Emma R. Dav isson acting as hostesses.

I'll ICE FIVE CENTS GREEKS FIGHT HARD FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Are Winners. A. T. O.'s Defeat Sig Eps in Fierce Contest by Score of Eight to Six. SiEina Nu, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alima Tau Omega, were victors in the inter-fraternity series last night. Every game was a rip and smash fight and the two hundred Greeks who packed the sidelines shook the old gym with their fierce battle cries. The A. T. O.'s and the Sig Eps fought the hardest battle of the short series, the former winning out 8 to 4. Dwight Thomas shot two of the three goals for the victors in the first half. while Russell was the Sig Ep demon. The first half ended 6 to 4 for the a T O.'s. For the first six minutes of the second period, so fierce was the defense on both sides that neither five could find the hoop. "Shelly." urging on his struggling heroes from the sidelines, would exhort "Tommie" to bust 'era up and Tommie finally bounced one in. Russell came right back at him and bagged one for the Sigs Eps but the game ended with Alpha Tau Omega on top. The Lineup Alpha Tau Sigma Phi Omega 8. Epsilon 6. Thomas f Costello Ernest.

The feature of this battle was the playing of big ;Monte" Munn. This husky, gladiator hoisted the ball into the receptive cage for three of the five counters scored by the victors. Big Munn didn't have it all his way, however, for Atkins hung to him closer than (Continued on Patre Throe) THIRTY-SIX INITIATED INTO COMMERCIAL CLUB Thirty-six students of the School of Commerce were initiated into- life membership in the University Com mercial Club at a meeting held at the City Commercial Club rooms Wednes day evening. The initiation was fol lowed by a club smoker,, at which re freshments consisting of cider and doughnuts were served. A social hour was followed by a business meeting, at which plans were made for the semester activities of the organiza tion. The most important service that will be given to commercial students this year will be the weekly talks by leading business men of Lincoln and neighboring cities on practical busi ness subjects. These meetings' will be held Thursday evenings at places to be announced from time to time. These talks will not only supplement the more theoretical instruction re ceived in the class room, but will also bring the student into personal con tact with men engaged in active busi ness pursuits. Several old members of the club who have recently returned from the army are back in school this year, and with their assistance the younger members plan for a most successful semester. All commercial students are cordially invited to a'tend these meetings and to join the club if they have not already done so. A committee was appointed to look Into the practicability of selecting a Commercial Club pin. The club will meet at twelve-thirty today at Town send's to have its picture taken for the Cornhusker.
