AIR OF MYSTERY VEILS
FIRST "SENIOR SHINDIG"
Something Every Fourth - Year
Student Should Know Will
be Revealed.
The first of a series of social events
which will mark the last weeks of
school life for the present Senior
class will be held next Saturday eve
ning in ihe form of the "Senior Shin
i;ig " This is distinctly an all Senior
affair and every member of the
"Twenty" class is expected to be pres
ent. In fact the committee asserts,
with an air of mystery, that any
Senior who is absent will have cause
to regret it. There will be various
forms of entertainment for those who
do not care to dance, so that no
Senior will have any legitimate rea
son for remaining away.
The "Shindig" will bring to a fit
ting close the Senior Color Week, one
of the innovations introduced by the
Class of 102ft. and a custom which
gives promise of becoming a campus
tradition. Kvery Senior will wear
the colors throughout the week and
will have them on at the "Shindig."
Also the plan for each Senior to
speak to every other Senior will be
continued until the lights go out at
j Woman's Hall on Saturday night.
j Hue to the large number of Seniors
j w ho will attend the party, no effort
will he made to sell tickets but the
admission price of fifty cents will be
collected at the door.
The committee wishes it understood
that no Senior is to slay awav for
hi i I, of a pan tier, for t here will be
j , . many pre.-ent "wiih" as "w ithout."

STIFF SCHEDULE PLANNED
The Nebraska baseball schedule has
been switched and instead ot tne
Cornhuskers going to South Dakota
May 6 and May 7, the South Dakota
Coyotes will invade Captain Jonn
Pickett's camp for a brace of games
next Thursday and Friday.
This change Is necessitated by the
cold weather that South Dakota has
been subject to and conditions are not
favorable there at present for good
games. Coach Schissler received a
request from the South Dakota man
ager asking tor tins cnauge aim
Schissler wired him immediately that
he would be pleased to meet the
Coyotes here and give the Husker
fans an extra series of home ball.
The Huskers will make the teoutn
Dakota trip later in the month.
South Dakota is a baseball country
and every one takes a keen interest,
in the national game in that territory.
Consequently the Coyotes will roll
into Lincoln Thursday morning w "
strong aggregation ready to give
the Huskers a run for their monev.
The South Dakota management boasts
of a pitcher who will enter the -Na
tional League as soon as the school
year is ever and the Husker sluggers
will be given a good opportunity to
show their wares against a Dig
leaguer.
With the addition of the South
Dakota series added to the list, Coach
Schissler has lined up a good string
of games to be played on the home
lot during the remainder of the sea
son. May 6 and 7 Nebraska meets
the South Dakota University. Drake
University comes over from Des
Moines to meet Pickett's men on May
14 and 15, and California will meet
the Nebraska Huskers on May 19.
The South Dakota games start at
