Dean Engberg Looks
Down Upon University
Executive Dean Engberg took his
first aerial voyage yesterday after
noon. Piloted by Lieut. Errold Bahl,
21, of Harding. Zook and Bahl Air
plane company, the Dean was carried
up SfiOO feet and given an opportunity
to see the University from a different
point of view than ever before. To
permit a closer scrutiny of the cam
pus, Lieut. Bahl nose-dived to a lower
plane and then rose to give the Dean
the benefit of a few stunts.
Looping the loop, doing the Immel-
man turn, side-slipping, tail-spinning
and spiraling all seemed to agree with
the Dean's sense of having a good
time. The barrell roll also seemed
to be quite appropriate and the sensa
tion, according to the Dean, was
queer." In spite of the rain, the trip
was a pleasing one and the Executive
says he is planning to make another
as soon as possible. His first com
ment upon landing was, "It's immense
ment upon landing was, "It's immense."

HUSKERS BLANK
PACIFIC CHAMPS
Pickett's Run in Ninth Takes
Game for Nebraska by
Score 1-0.
The University of California base
ball team received its first defeat of
their eastern trip Wednesday after
noon, when the Huskers trimmed
them to the tune of 1 to 0. Pickett's
pitching proved too much for the
Westerners and the one run scored
by the Nebraska captain when Swan-
son lifted out a clean hit in the last
half of the ninth was all lhat was
needed to give the game to Nebraska.
Were it not for two questionable
decisions, cne in the third inning and
one in the ninth, this game could be
classed as the best game of the year
as league ball was played throughout.
In the third Inning Pickett placed
what apparently was a clean hit just
over second base. Smith was on sec
ond and had a good chance to score;
but Dye called both men out on a
catch which to the crowd appeared to
be a pickup. In the ninth. Works
lined a fast grounder down to Bekins
at first and Rowe took home. There
were two outs and when the umpire
declared that Bekins beat Works to
the first sack the run by Rowe did
not count. Works, as infield captain,
objected to the decision but it stood
and the run by Pickett in the ninth
won the game.
But three hits were allowed through
out the game, two were made by Ne
braska and one by California. The
slow ball used by Shephard puzzled
the Nebraska men and Pickett's fast

SENIOR PLAY TICKETS

Senior play turn them in at Stu

p. m. today.
No More Early Morning Revelry,
Says Executive Dean
Thursday.
Certain Sorority will be Punished
for Undue Excitement Sun
day Morning.
The serenading which has been
such a prevalent nuisance all year
has reached such a height and the
serenaders have overstepped the
bounds of propriety to such an extent,
that, according to an announcement
made public today by Dean Ileppner
and Dean Engberg, the thing is to be
stumped out altogether.
Last fall one of the fraternities
started the fad. Others followed and
then the sororities fell in line. The
thing soon changed from a novelty to
a nuisance. One fraterity, not con
tent with serenading a certain soror
ity house once, repeated the affair sev
eral times. This sorority had just
purchased their house and was anxi
ous to be on good terms with the
neighbors, but the repeated serenad
ing caused them much trouble. Other
sororities have had similar experi
ences and many complaints have been
made both by the girls and the
neighbors to the executive dean.
However, as it was believed that the
thing would die out, no action, besides
sending notices to all the fraternity
houses concerning the matter, was
taken.
Serenades on Large Scale
This spring it began again .and with
renewed vigor. One fraternity sere
naded all the houses with the houses
with the aid of a piano on a truck.
Others have conducted veritable
charivaris, and of course have
awakened every one in the vicinity.
Last Sunday morning between one
and three o'clock an auto load of
sorority girls serenaded almost all the
fraternity houses. At many of the
houses, the men came out attired in
whatever article of dress they picked
up first, and talked and sang with the
girls. Furious neighbors called to
Miss Heppner and Dean Engberg and
demanded that the nuisance be
stopped. In the home next door to
one house serenaded by these girls,
lives a woman who is very ill and
not expected to live. Her attendants

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED kWl
CONVOCATION TffllRSDAi
Drive for $75,000 on Campus
Started Off With Large
Pledges.
Special convocation yesterday was
the opening of the campaign to raise
funds for the new million dollar gym
nasium which will be built at the Uni
versity. The band furnished the music
and raised the spirits of the audience
to the giving point. Classes were dis
missed from ten until twelve. About
three hundred and fifty were present.
Chancellor Avery addressed the
meeting first and was followed by
Prof. G. E. Condra, Miss Alice Howell
and Guy Reed, who is at the head of
the campaign. Mr. Reed announced
that the pledging was well under way
and thai two fraternities had already
promised an average of $51 and $53
respectively at the time of the meet
ing. The Senior class alone promised
$2,000.
The pledges allow the student to
pay cash or on the installment plan.
Pledges run from five dollars to as
high as $1,000 and some, it is ex
pected, will give even more. The
campaign will be under way for
$75,000 this week and few will escape
solicitation. Every Husker is expected
to subscribe.
nans are being made to canvass
the city in autos and students with
cars are asked to meet at the campus
Saturday morning for this purpose.
