A ((real deal of interest is evident
on the campus as well as in the city
over the visit to Lincoln of such a
prominent presidential possibility as
General Wood. Although the general
delivered the commencement address
of the university last spring, events
transpiring since that time have com
binrd to make the present visit more
of an occasion than the one of nine

FACULTY ROOMS III
TEMPLE NOW READY
Chancellor Avery Announces Com
pletion of Club Quarters
for Professors.
Instructors Will be Organized
under woiessors rossier
and Conklin.
Chancellor Avery announces that
the rooms in the basement of the
Temple for the use of the men facul
ty members and the rooms for the
use of the women faculty members
are now ready to be occupied.
The rooms were designated by the
chancellor at the demand of the fac
ulty members who conceived the idea
of the advantages of such quarters.
Furniture which has been used in
other quarters has been placed in the
rooms for the men by the university.
Furnishings for the women's rooms
will be purchased from equipment
fund. The maintenance of these quar
ters and the further development of
the furnishing will be met at the fac
ulty's expense. The following is the
chancellor's announcement:
"To All Officers of Administration
and Instruction:
"The rooms in the basement of the
Temple for the use of the faculty men
and those for the use of faculty wo
men are now ready to be occupied.
"The university has already placed
in the rooms for faculty men some
furniture previously used in other
quarters. A modest sum from back
taxes on the building and equipment
fund (a fund which cannot be usd
for salaries) has been assigned for
the partial furnishing of the rooms
for the women. A nucleus of the fur

Dress Suit Supply Exhausted
Johnny Sounds S. O. 5. To Dad
The formal season is on.
Yes, the formal season is very
much on in fact the word "formal '
is paramount in the minds of the stu
dents who are of ihe opinion that
readhV and wrKtn' aie not the only
branches of amusc.tiint offered in the
city of Lincoln. And say, some one
said the other day that formals were
a luxury and that the average univer
sity student who catered to such so
ciety was a floor flusher. Now that
was a bold statement and perhaps
after a thorough Investigation one
might find degree of truth in the as
sertion. The question whether dress
suits and party gowns as worn by uni
ersity students are a luxury will not
be dwelled on in this article because
the Daily Nebraskan is not in a posi
tion to dictate the laws of society to
Its readers.
Well, it happens that there is a
great scarcity of dress suits and
tuxedos in the city. Local merchants
state that the supply of evening
haberdashery has been wiped out in
the last few weeks by the influx of
certain university students who have
anticipated a bumper "bid" season.
The result is, of course, that no more
dress suits and tuxedos are available
for rental purposes. Dealers claim it
i. impossible to replace the supply
and they are unable to say when the
situation will be relieved.
Johnny happened to be invited to a
party last week. (Just how he rated
the function, he doesn't know ) Like
the majority of the social hounds
Johnny failed to possess a dress suit
In his wardrobe so he skipped his
swimming class and embarked on a
ren'al campaign. He marched down
tie main business artery dreaming of
the g'orious time he expected to have
a :he week-end revelry. Wouldn't he

re i,ible the Prince of Wales as he
tripped down the queens court? Cer
tainly Johnny thought he would be
nobility personified.
The hero met with numerous ob
stacles in his endeaor to gain his ob
Jectie. Blank had only three minutes
ago sold his last suit to Splvins; the
Dash company had a couple to sell
and didn't care to rent because they
expected to dispose of them on the
morrow; the Dot concern never car
ried evening suits in stock and fur
thermore Mr. Dot avered he didn't ex

superfluous- garments. Johnny cer
tainly was receiving the glad hand
at these clothing emporiums. Per
severance and determination were
the elements that kept him in hot
pursuit for hat dress suit and Johnny
consoled himself by declaring that he
WOULD go to the party.
The last store in town was visited.
"How about a dress suit," inquired
our social demon. "Think we have
your fit," was the clerk's answer. An

realization when the clerk brought out
the only site Johnny could possibly be
able to wear. The suit was tried on
the coat was a trifle long and the
sleeves too short. Next came the
trousers impossible. Johnny and
his brother could fill them nicely.
Five minutes later he left the store
empty handed.
Was the lad defeated? Well al
most, but no; Johnny had the spark
of a big Idea.' He dashed to the tele-

HUSKERS WHIP
IRISH TWICE
In Two Bloody Battles Schissler's
Five Outscrap uainonc umu
Notre Dame and Emerge
-Victors.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers coiv
tinned their winning streak by defeat
ing the Notre Dame basketball five In
two hard-fought games on the Armory
floor on Friday and Saturday nights.
Both games were featured by rough
playing on the part of both teams, the
Irishmen having the uppsr hand, how
ever, in this part of the game. The
score of the first game was 25-18 and
the second 31-15- The Armory was
packed to the limit on both occasions
and loyal cheering for the Huskers
by the spectators was greatly in evi
dence. John Pickett, substitute for
ward sent in by Coach Schlssler dur
ing the last ten minutes of the first
game, skillfully eluded the shifty Cath
olic guards and registered four field
goals from difficult angles, thus win
ning the game for the Cornhuskers.
During the first half of the Friday
game the Notre Dame tossers had a
slight edge over the Huskers and were
leading 9-7 at the end of this period.
Only one field goal was registered by
the Nebraska team In this half, Austin
Smith tossing the ball through the
hoop for this counter. Shot after shot
was afforded the Huskers but Schiss
ler's men seemed unable to connect
with the basket. On the other hand
the Irish team was at its best and gah-
eid three field goals and three fre
throws.
As soon as the whistle sounded for
the second half, however, the Husk
ers rallied and from then on had
the game well in hand. Baskets by
Russell, Patty, and Pickett gave the
Nebraska team a substantial lead and
during the last few minutes of the
game Schissler's men were playing
rings around their opponents. Much
fouling and rough playing was in evi
dence and Referee Jones ordered Bek
ins from the floor, charging him with
"poor sportsmanship." Nebraska ad
herents could not see the justice of
this decision but the decree of the
official is law. Brandy, star Irish

INTER -GREEKS FIGHT
TOWARD CHAUPIQNSKIP
Sigma Chi, Bushnell Guild, Sigma
Nu and Delta Upsilon Survive
First Battles.
Sigma Chi, Bushnell Guild, Sigma
Nu, and Delta Upsilon are the surviv
ors of the first four games of the pre
liminary round of the inter-fraternity
basketball tournament, played Satur
day on the Armory floor. Alpha Gam
ma Rho, Kappa Delta Phi, Acacia, and
Delta Chi were the loosers, respec
tively. All of the games were close
and some interesting play was de
veloped. The game between Bushnell
Guild and Kappa Delta Phi ended in
a 10 to 10 score and an extra five
minutes of play was necessary before
the game was won by the B. G. team.
The Sigma Chi's had little trouble in
winning from Alpha Gamma Rho, the
score standing 8-2.
Sigma Nu and Acacia fought nip
and tuck through the first half but
the Sigma Nu team forged ahead and
took the game 17-12. Two field goals
and five free throws by Dobish were
largely responsible for the victory.
Delta Chi was practically snowed un
der by the Delta Upsilon tossers, win
ners on the tourney last year. The
D. U. team shows championship form
again this year. The work of Fitz
simmons and Gardner featured the
game, the former accounting for four
teen points. Both Dana and Carson, of
the D. U. team were removed from the
floor by Referee John Riddell, because
o; personal fouls.
The remaining three games of the
preliminary round will be played to
day. Pi Kappa Phi will meet Alpha
Sigma Phi at five p. m. Delta Tau
Delta plays the Farm House team at
six p. m. and at seven p. a. Silver Lynx
clashes with Pi Phi Chi.
