Having Good Time
But Homesick For
Uni of Nebraska
The department of geography and
conservation has received a letter
from Prof. X. A. Bengston, who is now
in Norway. Professor Bengston was
granted a leave of absence from the
university and is now in the foreign
service of the Bureau of Commerce
with headquarters in Christiania, Nor
way. He says in part:
"Winter still holds forth here in
full sway. Last Sunday I went out to
"Voxenkolmeu," a famous ski-eing hill
about six miles from here, and
watched the Norsemen at play. There
were folks out on the hills literally by
the thousands on skis, snowshoes, and
sleds. The snow on the hills is sev
eral feet deep, but is now beginning to
melt so this is referred to as the end
of the sason. The main ski course is
along a glaciated valley side and illus

BIG SPEAKERS EXPECTED
AT STUDENT CONFERENCE
Annual Meeting of Men From
Middle West School at xustes
Park, June 17-26
The annual student conference for
men i nine cui-s i
sas. Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Mon
tana, and New Mexico will convene
June 17th to 26th at Estes Park. This
is only one of many conferences that
the students of American colleges at
tend each year
This year's conference at Estes Park
promises to be the best of any yet held
thrp. Col. Ravmond Robbins, the
-
millionaire philanthropist of Chicago,
who has just recently returned from
Russia, is only one of about thirty
equally strong and capable leaders,
who will be at this conference.
Besides the leaders, rver things at
this conference offer inducement to
those contemplating attending. The
scenery of. the Park, Its lakes, rivers.
and snow-capped mountains are the
most wonderful in the world. Since
the afternoons are open for recreation
and hikes, many of the delegates take
advantage of this and climb the vari-
ous peaks.

CHANCES FOR PENH
TRIP LOOK BRIGHT
Ready Response is Made to
Stewart's Appeal for Neces.
sary 400 Dollars
Sixteen Fraternities Pledge
Dollars Each Girls' Or
ganizations Contribute
It seems certain that the necessary
funds to send the relay team to the
renn Relays Saturday will be raised.
Sixteen fraternities pledged twenty
dollars each as soon as the appeal
was made to them and one sorority.
Alpha Chi Omega, sent in $21 yester-
t.n
day noon. The W. A. A. hit tne oau
yesterday and OK'd a twenty-five dol
lar appropriation. The team win
have to leave this evening and the
final dash for funds must be com
pleted by noon.
rtnnations from sources outside the
university have been sent to Coach
Stewart but it is evident that tne
funds must be raised by the students.
The opportunity to enter the Dig
Philadelphia event came like a nasn
and the campaign has been a last
minute scramble. With the t.me so
limited the Cornhusker athletic direc
tor appealed to the fraternities for
aid and the response came imme
diately. Many loyal alumni gave sub
stantial evidence of their active in
terest in the school as soon as the
need was known. Everyone is conn-
dent that the needed four hundred
will have been secured by this noon
but it is not at all a certainty. WTien
the men are actually on the tram
speeding on toward 'Thilly" tonight.
