At Banquet Said
To Be Jellow Sheet
The first annual edition of the ????
wi(l make its appearance at the En
gineers' banquet Friday night.
The ???? is none other than the En
gineers' scandal sheet and it promises
to be the lowest, yellowest, most under
handed, and merciless journalistic
crime ever committed. The space is
only devoted to the most sensational
incidents in the college, and personal
incidents are being collected so rapid
ly that only the choicest of scandal
will be permitted to adorn ,the pages
of this paper that is terrifying any
and all possible offenders. The staff is
composed of the most disreputable
characters and they have no feeling3
fcr the parties who will have their
dark records publically opened to light.
The sheet went to press last nigh
and linotype operators were required
to cut their ten minute shifts down
to five minutes, and then they were
hardly able to endure the task. Con
sequently all Engineers are requested
or advised to hold their jaws tight and
brace themselves for a tradition
destroying literary tornado.

VOTES SUM
L
The senate of Nebraska voted
Tuesday afternoon to appropriate
WOO.OOO for a now .Memorial
(iyimiasiiini dependent upon the
raising of a like amount by tin
rniversity.
There was a determined stand
by certain of the senators a.'ainst
the additional 7oO,()00 appropri
ated for the work of the Univer
sity. This effort, however, was in
vain for the senate committee of the
whole approved the finance committee
increase. The motion to strike the
memorial fund from the bill lost 12
to 18. v
Another effort was made to change
he appropriation to $350,000 for uni
versity dormitories, but this was
voted down, 25 to 5.
It was argued by senate leaders on
behalf of the gymnasium that it was
necessary to take advantage of the
offer of the people to pay half the
cost or else the building would cost
the state twice as much later. Unless
the legislature provided for the erec
tion of the building this year, $ 130,000
already collected for the purpose
would have to be returned. They
also argued that not only was it a
gymnasium, but a memorial to the
soldiers of the state who gave their
lives in the world war.
BASEBALL VARSITY
TO BATTLE STARS
Husker Diamond Pastlmera to Meet
of Veterans Pickett to
Pitch Game.
The Husker Varsity diamond crew
will meet a picked team this after
noon in a practice game at the State
Farm campus ball diamond. The
picked team will be composed of a.
number of old baseball men with John
Pickett working in the pitcher's box.
Coach Schisster intended to have
the Varsity and the Freshmen mix in
a practice contest yesterday, but it
had to be called off on account ot
rain. The Husker diamond stock hit
a high mark Tuesday when the Husk
ers smothered the Coiner college nine.
The first real competition of the
season will be the two game series
with Wesleyan on Friday and Satur
day of this week. The Methodism
have a fast team and promise to give
the Nebraska nine a real battle. Coach
Schissler has made no definite de
cision regarding the lineup for the
opening game, but will probably siart
Munger and Anderson for the bat
teries. JEANETTE NELSON
