Love Birds Vanish When They
Are Told "No Spooning Here"
Day-spooning on the University
grounds yesterday afternoon almost
led to the jail. The romantic atmos
phere of the campus, together with the
beautiful spring-like weather, seemed
to have gone to the souls and heads of
the "Nebraska Spooners," as Univer
sity students have dubbed them. They
were capering about in a playful man
ner only to have their fun halted i'
rcptly when, in stern tones, they were
commanded to leave the campus and
to nevermore return. They were asked
politely to reserve their spooning foi
the hours after dark. Instead of fur
nishing amusement for hundreds of
students in broad daylight.
The strollers were our friends of bar
ometer fame. They were the notorious
persons who had camped on the Uni
versity campus before, much to the
amusement of the students. Once they
had enacted "The Miracle of Love" on
I he sidewalk before the Physics Lab
oratory. The Dean's office force, the Nebras
kan reportorial staff, and fifty faculiv
members, who watched eagerly from
nearby windows, observed the antics
o' the "love birds" as they spread their
wings and tried to fly on the campus

RIFLE MYSTERY UNCORKED
The cogs of the It. O. T. C. machine
will be running smoothly within the
next two or three weeks alter
new uniforms aud army rifles have
been issued at the Quartermaster's
Department. The bill of lading for
the last shipment of outfitting equip
ment has been received and military
officials state that all the necessary
equipment will be given out to the
members of (he unit as soon as
possible.
The rifle mystery is solved, or at
least some information has been un
corked by Lieutenant Challice who
stales the reasons why the firearms
have not been issued. The titles
have been in storage at the Univer
sity since last fall. The R. O. T C,
officials have found distribution inv
possible owing to the condition of the
rifles after they were received from
government supply depots. The rifles
were packed in cosmoline, an oily ma
terial, and the abundance of this sub
stance has required considerable labor
to remove it by a corps of student
workmen. It is estimated that each
piece has necessitated from four to
six hours cleaning. At least two
hours work by each member will be
required before the weapons will be
ready for use.

STIFF SCHEDULE FOR 1920
Only about seventy baseball candi
dates responded to the call of Coach
Schissler for a meeting of all men in
terested In baseball held yesterday
afternoon at the Armory. Of these sev
enty, at least fifty were freshmen,
leaving only twenty Varsity candidates
who have reported.
Plans are rapidly being formulated
for an extensive baseball season. Mr.
C. N. Moon, at Lincoln, has donated to
the University the use of all the equip
ment on the M street park This in
cludes the club houses, grand stands,
bleachers, and fences. Arrangements
are being made with the city authori
ties for the use of the park and doubt
less all the details will be arranged in
the near future. Men are ready to
start work on the field at once and It
will be in shape for work-outs in a
few days, if the city gives the Athletic
Department permission to use it.
Coach Schissler is preparing an ex
cellent schedule and in spite of the
f ict that this will be the first Corn
husker baseball in the past ten years,
i good strong schedule will be framed.
A game has already been arranged
with the University of California tea.n
to be played in Lincoln May 19. The
Californians are making an extensive
trip into the Middle-West and East.
They play such teams as Syracuse,
ale, Harvard, Princeton, and several
ether prominent schools. In view of
this protracted trip, it is safe to sav
that the California school has an un
usually strong team.
