STUDENTS FAVOR AN
ATHLETIC TAG DAY
Junior Class Organizations Make
Arrangements for Carrying
Out the Plan.
Money to Be Collected For Ath
letic Sweaters and Send Team
to National Meet.
During the past week an ever In
creasing stream of students and Lin
coln business men who are Interested
In Nebraska relay team which mado
such a wonderful showing in the
Penn Relays have come to Coach
Stewart and pledged their support
to any campaign for sending the boys
to the National Intercollegiate Meet
at Harvard on May 31.
Many students also feel that a great
injustice has been done the men who
in football, basketball, track and
have made the varsity the past year
wrestling and will get no sweaters
in recognition of their services unless
the student body takes it upon itself
to buy them. This sentiment has
crystallized rapidly into a movement
for a booming campaign next week
to raise the necessary funds.
The Vikings. Silver Serpents, and
Women's Athletic Association have
taken it upon themselves to push the
campaign over the top with a big
rush next week. No definite rlans
have been laid but a general tag day
will probably be set aside for the
raising of the thousand or so dollars
needed.

ART STUDENTS VISIT
INTERESTING EXHIBITS
IN TRIP ABOUT OMAHA
Seventy students visited the metro
polis with the Fine Arts group on
Omaha Day. The Lininger Art Gal
lery was first visited in the morning,
where access was had to both the pic
ture gallery and the private room con
taining valuable art objects.
From there they went to the court
house to view the paintings in J he
dome. By special invitation of the
sheriff they visited the Douglas county
jail.
After the lunch the group went to
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. N.
Dietz. who went to a great deal of
trouble to show their interesting pic
tures and art objects. The visitors
were urged to make themselves at
home and examine everything with a
total absence of restriction. The
Dietz catalog contains more than 500
numbers of art objects. They include
works of Knight. Bougeoureau. Lam
plough, Saddler and many others. A
remarkable case of carved ivories was
an object of much interest.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kountze. a splendid example of the
modern home, was next visited. This
residence contains interesting paint
ings and tapestries, and is quite re
markable for its consistent interior
decoration. The students also visited
the Athletic Club to view the archi
tectural features.
