They will vary in length from fifteen to thirty min utes and will include instrumental and vocal musical numbers, dramatic numbers of short plays or skits, and other good acts as brought out by the talent which trys out .for posi tions. Students who successfully land places on the variety program will be sent to several towns in the state to present their acts with others sent out by the lyceum board. All ex penses will be paid by the board.

Green House Badly Building Planned Crowded conditions in the campus greenhouse are felt severly. With three small rooms, twelve by thirty feet each', the institution an just bear up under the strain of keep ing botany classes supplied with specimens, while its original duty was to be the winter store house and .general supply house for all the fiower beds of the university. That duty is now taken over with difficulty by the green house at the State Agri cultural college, which, in the mean 3mi, must 'supply aJf 'of Its own grounds. Plans fcr a new c.'ty green house ere drawn up five years ago and the execution of the plans was promised, but a reduction of funds followed and the green house did not materialize. The present reduction threatened by the state legislature seems to fall heavily on the projected gymnasium, but the new green house was dropped o long ago that no one thinks of eying out about it. The present green house stands be side "U" Hall and has in common 'ith the "U" an air of veneration HASTINGS SPEAKS TO THE FUTURE LAWYER George n. Hastings, a nephew of former Dean Wm. G. Hastings, spoke for a short period to tho law students at gonoral lecturo Friday morning. Ho discussed a subject of groat In terest to all, more especially the sen iors; "Whore Should a Young Law yer Start Ills Practice?" The speak er gave concrete examples of what has happened to students of years gone by, who took up various loca tions leaving school. Ho told of those who had entered largo firms in cities, and of those who' had commenced in small communities. Tho latter wr-s favored because it was said to hold out greater opportunities for a young man in the prnctice to meet all kinds of questions, and to ume Into per sonal contact with his clients. In a largo firm a beginner is llablo to find a rut as a clerk, and never be able to get out of it. Mr. Hastings advised that it was a good thing for all concerned for the young lawyers to spenrt some time In polities. LOSE TO Athletic Club Defeats Nebraska Aquatic Artists by Score of Forty-one to Nine. The Nebraska swimming team lost to tho Omaha athletic club, 41 to 9, in a dual meet at Omaha Thursday night.

Inside, even though a few plants are dying because room cannot be afforded to give them larger flower pots, the effect is that of a m'inerature tropics, desert, swamp, lake, and dixie land all thrown together. There are a dozen and a half different varieties of cactus, several orchids at five dollars the smell, gold fish, swamp grass, lilies., banana trees, ferns palms moss and many other species all growing peace ably together. There is a warm woodsy odor derived from a combin ation of steam heat and all sorts of plant mould. Also there are spots left vacant while some of the most interesting plants die of overcrowd ing; the botany classes may want to use the vacancies for experiment ation sometime.

A second consignment of Philip pino implements and wares, collected and donated by General Pershing, 93, has been received by the University of Nebraska. The material !ias beea unpacked, and is now being assorted, arranged, numbered and entered in the acces sions book of the Nebraska state mu seum. As soon as room can bo made by the removal of other material, the Persuing collections will be installed in cases for the Inspection of the pub lic. The new consign, it comprises the following: One hundred and fifty swerds rep resenting every make and eveiy tribe of Philippinos. The handles of some are of silver and others cur iously carved ivory, horn and wood The scabbards differ from those ci silver, elaborately wrough't, to carved wood, woven rattan, palm leaves and the like. Of special interest is a select lot of about forty long shafted steel- pointed spears, the shafts being var iously decorated by silver fetrule3, braided silver wire, -braided tattan and bamboo. The consignment includes a unique collection of some twenty large mat3 measuring ten by twelve feel. These are skillfully hand-woven and are beautifully and brilliantly colored The collection is so unusual, and of more than ordinary interest, that an attempt will be made to find wall space on the campus, in order that the entire set may be displayed for the benefit of the public. , In the assortment are four heavy richly ornamented cast brass native cannons called lantakas. Musical contributions con.--1st jf two complete native musical Instru ments akin to our tubiphones. Each set consists of eight or ten heavy cast brass gongs. The bass gongs are eighteen inches acrodu and weigh twenty to thirty pounds, the other gongs varying in size and pitch. It is seldom that full sets of native tubiphones are seen in museums. Included also, are 200 native dag gers, kris, serpentine kris, bror.d bladed borangs, ana beheading swords. The most elaborate pieces are the cast brass helmets and coats of mail which are inlaid "with other metals and engraved. A similar collection was donated by General Pershing last December.

Case, a former stu dent in the college of engineering of the University of Nebraska is the principal engineer for the construc tion of a bridge across Delaware river," connecting C"mden, N. J., with Philadelphia. This structure will be come one of the romarkablo bridges of the world. Its completion is in not expected until ?926. The designer is Ralph Modjeski, C. E., Chicago, son of the greac Mme. Modjeski. He is a graduate of the Coll. des Ponts et Chaussees, Paris, where he was at the head of his class and received special honors. He is now one of the foremost bridge engineers of the world. Mr. Case will represent Modjeski in the construc tion, being the principal engineer up on the work. Mr. Case was enrolled in the col lege of engineering during the three years 1901 04. He went to Illinois for his senior year, receiving his degree at that school in 1906. He has had a very extendod experience in bridge work and has been associated with Modjeski for about ten years. During this time he has handled other large projects of the same nature, including the new Memphis bridge over the Mississippi river. The structure upon which the for mer Nebraska man is now working will be second in the world in length of span. The one longer bridge is the reconstructed Quebec bridge, which was also built by Modjeski. The Delaware river bridge, when completed, will make Camden effect ively a part of Philadelphia. It will bring Philadelphia one hour nearer to the sea. It will link the state of New Jersey with Philadelphia in a way never before realized. The plans of over one hundred years have cul minated during the last two years in a design which will become a reality. Some statistical data Is of interest The bridge will be of the single-span suspension type, with the main span '50 feet long. The height of the towers will be 400 feet above , high water line. It will be built to handle six lines of vehicular traffic, with a capacity of 3,000 vehicles per hour, moving In both directions. (Continued on page 4.)

Handicapped by the absence cf CVptnin "Tony" Smith, tho Scarlet and Cream digesters fell before tho onslaught of the Oklahoma Sooner., 29 to 21, at Norman Friday afternoon. The excellent teamwork of the Soon er five, combined with their accurate bitsknt-shooting, was largely respon sible for tho defeat of tho Nebraska quintet. Cartmn, taking Smiths po sition at forward, played a stellar game, flipping five field goals, sev eral of the spectacular variety. The passing and floorwork of tho Coinhuskors was not up to standard, the Oklahoma crew easily outclass ing the Huskers in this department of the game. The Nebraskans put up a hard fight, and several limes threatened to overcome the Oilaho ma lead. Waite, the Oklahoma captain, was the high point-getter, making three field goals and seven free tries out of as many attempts, for a total of thirteen points. Carman registered five goals for the Huskers, while Warren and Russell garnered two each.
