FITTING UP r.'E'.V RECREATION ROOM Large Enrollment this Year Necessitates More Space for Men Students. The larger of the old cafeteria rooms in the Temple, which has been assigned by the University for use of the Y. M. C. A., Is being fitted out for a recreational and reading room. According to plans it will be ready for occupancy before the end of the present school year. Owing to the larger number of stu dents attending school this year, the present capacity of the Y. M. C. A. reading rooms has been overtaxed. The new room will remedy this crowded condition and the men stu dents will welcome this arrangement The room has been made very at raclive by redecorating the walls and refinishing the woodwork. It is very well lighted and because of its loca tion, will make a quiet room for read ing and recreation. This new read ing room is to be furnished in hand craft furniture including small octago nal tables which will accommodate four men each. Special chess and checker tables are being made. The coiners of the room are to be fitted up with settees, rockers and easy-armed chairs. In furnishing and finishing the room, appearance and comfort are receiving a great deal ot attention; and special effort is being made to make the room as inviting and as comfortable as possible.

The pools, to be located at the Farm campus - and in Social Science Building, will be open from nine to twelve and from two to five. All the proposed revisions will be voted upon as one unit and the honor spirit plan as another. Bulletins con taining the entire constitution, the proposed revisions and the honor spirit plan will be distributed at the voting places. The" honor spirit has been a subject of discussion all year. Those who favor it feel that it can be a success only if the majority of the students support it For this reason it is urged that all students should vote so that the vote will be repre sentative. The six proposed revisions include Article III. which requires that the Student Council be represented on the Student Publication Board, the Election Board and the University Week Committee, and Article IV, which requires that the chairman of the Ail-University Party Committee be a member of the Student Council. Article IV further provides for the ap pointment of three members of this committee by the Council and four1 by the. Dean of Women.

England's great quartet of runners. Tatham, Stallard, Milligan and Rudd, won the two mile college relays in the Penn meet held at Philadelphia Satur day afternoon. They set a new world's record in this event making the distance in 7:50-25. It was a thrilling victory in the fea ture event of the twenty-sixth annual Penn relay carnival and capped an afternoon which kept a crowd of tibout 25,000 standing on the bleacher seats most of the time. Stallard. the tall blonde British speed demon, put up a wonderful fight in hia lap of the relay and came down the home stretch floundering, passed the baton to Milligan, and collapsed. Rudd, for the British, set out like a hundred yard man and ran away from the rest of, the field and finished fresh in 1:54 3-4 for the half. Pennsylvania pulled the surprise of the afternoon, by defeating Cornell in the four mile relay. Shields of Pennsylvania State making bis mile in 4:19. Pennsylvania won the one mile' relay making it in 3:22 2-5. In the hundred yard hurdles, Wright of Nebraska took third in his heat time 16 seconds. - The best athletes of the country were assembled in this year's Penn meet and as a result of their achieve ments America's outlook for victory (Continued On Page Three) ENGINEERS FIELD DAY AT STATE FARM MAY 6 Five hundred and fifty engineering students from the city and farm cam puses will abandon their readin' and writin' May 6 In order to participate in the annual Engineers' field day. The festivities will take place at the State Farm campus. A number of contests have been arranged by the committee, including baseball games and track events. Cash prizes will be offered to the victorious teams and individuals in each event Delta Sigma Delta x Path of Scattered clothing, an open window and foot prints in the Saturday night mud were the first signs the Delta Sigma Delta fraternity at 1121 G street found when it awoke Sunday morning. These signs immediately initiated a search which proved that $150 bad been taken during the night Pockets were turned inside oul, trousers and coats were cast about the room but nothing was missing except money. Watches, Jewelry and other valuables were undisturbed. This robbery, one of a series among fraternity houses, was as most of the others, committed near pay day. The Inter-Fraternity Burglar's Association has kept pretty close tab on Father's NEED BETTER SUPPORT The Nebraska Cornhuskers spanked the Haskell warriors to the tune or 8 to 5 at the M street park Saturday afternoon and thereby took sweet re venge for the ten inning game of Friday that went to the Indians by the score of 3 to 2. As a result of Saturday's win the Huskers split the two game series with the Haskells, which series the Nebraskans right fully earned credit to have taken had not the breaks been with the Redmen. In the first frame the Haskells got away with two scores in their half, but the Huskers sluggers came back strong in their halt and pushed two runners across the home plate. The Redmen scored one in the second inning and Coach Schissler's men worked a man around in this same stanza tying the score again. The game went nip and tuck until the sixth inning. The Nebraskans staged a rally in this round which netted them five markers, sewed up the game, and put victory out of the reach of the Haskell outfit Lynn had on his batting togs and smacked a line single when the bases were drunk with Husker runners, which cleaned the sacks and spelt victory for Pickett and his crew. This was Lynn's second safety of the game. The hit ting of Bailey and Lynn, each getting a pair of bingles. was the main factor in the Nebraska victory Leonard Kline hurled six innings of fancy ball and kept the eight hits the Redmen garnered well scattered. The Haskells got three runs in the first two stanzas but only one was earned, the other two being a result of the break of luck being in their favor. In the seventh inning Kline weakened and allowed a walk and three safe clouts which resulted in two "runs. Pickett went in the box in this stage of the game with two runners on and one man down. He let the Redmen down without a further score. Up to the seventh Kline's assortment of stuff and change of pace had the Haskells at bay but they found him and Schissler put Pickett in to stop their belated rally. Captain Pickett hurled air tight ball while on the mound and struck out four men. The' Cornhuskers played stellar ball and made but two errors both being the result of hard balls to handle. The Haskells have the God of Luck to thank for their victory of Friday, which game went ten innings. Can- tain John Pickett went the full route for the Huskers and heaved first class brand of baseball and deserved to have beaten the Redmen. The game should never have gone an extra frame had not the Huskers been given a raw deal at second in the eighth inning when the umps called a man out at the keystone sack who was safe by a city block. In this round the Cornhuskers scored one marker but should have had two and (Continued on Page Four) Falls In Midnight Collector Day this year and as soon as the monthly checks are cashed they are taken up by some midnight prowler. Evidently the robbers have kept a sharp eye on the banks or the mail for they have been unusually prompt in making collections. One bit of information which might be of interest to the prowler, at least. Is that the front door was unlocked. Although it was much more easily entered, he desired to improve on the usual manner of every-night fraternity burglarizations and took the window route. An open window does make it more professional looking but foot prints in the mud are a welcome clue to the authorities.
