COACH SCHULTE WANTS
SOME ANNOUNCERS
An announcer at a track meet
helps materially to put the event
across for the spectators. There
are several announcers in this
fount ry whose services are rated
so high that they are the most
highly paid officials at such
big meets as the Drake Relays,
Western Conference etc.
In order to uncover the best
two or three men in the Univers
ity for this position Coach
Schulte is railing for a tryout
in the Inter-College meet Satur
day. Hp is asking for ten men
at least to enroll at once. The
announcers position at a track
n.eet is as important as a yell
leader at a football game.

SATURDAY
ENGINEER'S PARADE TO
FEATURE MANY FLOATS
Floats, representative of the work
of the several departments of the Col
lege of Engineering are to feature the
parade from the campus to the busi
ness section of Lincoln on Field Day
of Engineers Week, Friday, April 2Sth.
This is the first time that any atten
tion has been paid to making the
parade more than a line of march of
the students of the college aid?d by a
band.
Each department is being left free
to work out its own details and much
competition has developed in their
plans. TThose responsible are, how
ever, keeping their plans under cover
in the effort to spring a surprise that
morning.
HERS AND COYOTES
TO MEET ON DIAMOND
Wesleyan to Battle Nebraska at
Rock Island Park Tomor
row Afternoon
The Cornhusker baseball squad will
open the home schedule tomorrow
at 2:30 p. m. when they mix with the
Wesleyan Coyotes at Rock Island
Park. The Methodists have been go
ing through a series of hard work
outs for the past two weeks and plan
to give the Huskers some hard oppo
sition. Wesleyan wil enter the battle with
a strong pitching staff while the
Huskers will rely upon Carman, Mun
ger, Beremist and Ziegenbeim. Car
man will probably start off the game
on the mound.
The recent unfavorable weather has
handicapped the diamond artists to a
great extent. The Nebraskans have
had only two real workouts since
returning from the spring trip. Yes
terday the varsity clashed with the
freshmen aggregation, who under the
leadership of John Pickett, are show
ing up very well on the diamond. A
fast five inning battle was staged
which, afforded the varsity some real
practice.
The two coming games with the
Coyotes will aid greatly in preparing
the Huskers for the battles with
Kansas University. The Scarlet and
Cream aggregation locks horns with
the Kansans April 27 and 2S. Coach
Frank and Capt. Bill MeCrory are"
planning to whip the Huskers into
one of the fastest aggregations in the
Valley 'before the end of the season
or before the Kansas battles open.
The Rock Island Park, which was
muddy and soft the first of the week,
is in, good condition again.
Carman, one of the main-stays of
the pitching staff, and former Wesley
an man, will have a chance to face
his old team from the mound.
Tomorrow's game is expected to be
fast fro mstart to finish and will pro
babTy develop into a liard fought
battle.

Chorus Of Eight Hundred Voices
At Big Inter-Fraternity Sing
Sponsored By Kosmet Klub Men
Kosmet Klub, honorary dramatic
society for men, will take charge of
the inter-fraternity sing which is to
he held on the campus on Ivy Day,
according to an announcement by the
chairman of the Cornhubker Roundup
general committee yesterday.
Ivy Day comes on Thursday, June
1, and it is expected that a great
crowd of alumni win be in Lincoln
at that time to witnoss the festivties
of the week. Over eight hundred
voices will take part in the Ivy Day
ceremonies. In the afternoon the
tappin of the Innocents and masquing
of the Mortarboards will be the fea
tures of the entertainment. The in
trr-fraternity sing will come at seven
o'clock in the evening.
The Kosmet Klub was in charge
of the first interfraternity sing held
on the Nebraska campus in recent
years, when it organized the frats
for a sing on Nebraska field last fal'
All but four of the fraternities were
represented at the sing. Each group
gave about two songs. This included
the official song of the fraternity and
one or two others. In the program
of that evening were included songs
of the University of Nebraska and
DR. WOLCOTT TELLS OF
OF
Nebraska Professor Gives Com
plete History and Theories
on Difficult Subject
"Bird migrations have been the
most studied, perhaps of any subject
in natural history, yet today there
are still any number of questions
which must be cleared up before the
subject can be fully explained," stat
ed Professor R. H. Wolcolt in a Ice
ture to the ornithological class of the
University this week. "Aristotle sev
eral hundred years ago advanced the
belief that birds must bury them
selves in the mud of winter banks.
The theory was disproved only a few
centuries ago when an Italian tried
the experiment and found how ut
terly it failed.
"It is now well enough to know
where the majority of North Anieri
can birds spend the winter, but even
at that when aturalist after natural
ist has reported his observations, the
r.vnM mifrratorv route or even the
residence cf somo species through
out half the year is a complete mys
tery."
Dr. Wolcott divided the migratory
birds into three classes: those which
have widely separated winter and
summer ranges, those whoso ranges
overlap, and those which do not mi
grate at all. Though some birds may
enemi different seasons of the year
"I
different sides of the equater, so
th;:t 'hey are practically in eternal
summer, no bird ever nests on two
parts of the earth's surface in one
year.
The arctic torn enjoys more hours
of sunlight each year than any other
living creature. It spends twelve
weeks in the constant sunlight of a
summer in the Arctic circle, then
takes ten weeks to travel the eleven
thousand miles to the other sido of
the globe, basks in the sunshine
there for sixteen weeks, and then
takes another ten weeks for the trip
back. Other, birds, especially the
shore birds nesting on the barren
grounds, make almost ns long flights
as the tern, according to Dr. Wolcott.
Among these is the golden plover,
who on his autumnal migration heads
from his northern nesting ground to
Nova Scotia, makes a last big meai
of berries and then strikes straight
for South America over the broad
Atlantic, not even stopping to rest
on any islands that it might cross.
"One of the big mysteries in the
study of bird migrations," said Prof
Wolcott, "is the common chimney
swift. That bird moves southward
in the fall toward the Gulf of Mexico
as do many onier speiica. uw
there he disappears into thin air and
s gone for the winter. Though or
nithological explorers have penetrat
ed to every part or boutn America,
central America and Africa, this bird
has never been seen except in its
summer home in the United States."
Perhaps Aristotle has some grounds
for his theory that the birds bury
themselves in the river banks.
(Continued on page 4) I
some of the popular Kosmet Klub
songs taken from old Kosmet pro
ductions. Popular among the Kosmet songs
were several pieces taken from thn
1921 show, "The Most Trime Minis
ter," which was presented at the Or
pheum thoatre on the evening before
Ivy Day. The Kosmet show this
year comes on May Day, on account
of the fact that Ivy Day has been
postponed until June 1 to come dur
ing the first Cornhusker roundup.
New music for the 1922 Kosmet play
is being written by various members
of the Klub and will be sung for the
first time in public when the 1922
play, "The Knight of the Nymphs,"
is produced by a cast of eighty stu
dents. Although no definite plans for the
inter-fraternity sing for this year
have been made, it is possible that
some arrangements will be made to
have each fraternity sing under its
lighted crest. The campus during the
week of the roundup will be lighted
by many colored lights and plans to
make the inter-fraternity sing an
electric spectacle as well as a great
chorus of male voices are being formulated.
STUDENTS OFFERED
College of Business Administra
tion Add Interesting
Courses
The new catalogue of the College
of Business Administration just pub
lished announces several new courses
for the coming year. These are:
Personal Management, Law, Agricul
ture, Municipal Industries, Retail
Store Management, Advanced Ac
counting, and additions to the course
of Business Law.
The Personal Management course
deals with the personal departments
that have been established in recent
years in many large concerns to have
charge of employment and discharge
of workers, reduction of labor turn
over, welfare work, and the establish
ment ,and maintainene.e of harmon
ious relations between employers and
em ployees.
In the future, students in the Busi
ness Administration College who wish
may substitute for Business Law
either contracts, property, or oilier
courses in the College of Law. In
fact, they may take as much as a
year's work in law as "approved e-lec-tives."
The new catalogue states that "as
farmers are a class of business men,
students in the College of Agriculture
will find certain courses in the Ccd
lege of Business Administration very
useful to them, especially principals
of economics, accounting, marketing,
advertising, salesmanship, business
law, business organization, railway
transportation and public finance.
Conversely, students in the College of
Business Administration who expect
to live in the rural communities
should take certain courses in the
College of Agriculture, especially in
the Department of Rural Economics.
Development in the United States
and foreign countries; franchises;
organization; service; financial man
agement; valuation of tangible and
intangible assets; public regulation
of rates and service; public owner
ship and operation are the subjee-ts
taken up in Municipal Industries,
while a study of retail store problems
as regards accounts and operating ex
penses; store organization, store lo
cation; store lay-out, equipment and
service; purchasing and selling; edu
cation and employment; different
types of stores and their special pro
blems are those taken up in Retail
Store Management.
The course in Advanced Account
ing as well as that of Business Law
is an extention in those courses. It
is the aim of the Business Admin
istration College to increase advanced
work and it is hoped that these new
subjects will open a larger field for
the students.
Watch for the "Cornhusker Bauty"
display in Magee's windows, beginning
Saturday.
OMAHA CLUB MEMBERS

group of Omahans gathoicd for the
dinner which was followed by a short
business session and a bit of enter
tainment by some of the members.
The matter of changing the consti
tution was taken up and a committee
was appointed to draw up a ne w one
for presentation at the next meeting.
It was decided to hold election of of
ficers for next semester at the first
meeting next fall.
Only one more meeting v ill be held

INTER-COLLEGE MEET
Tl
Tryouts For Drake Relays to be
Held in Connection With
Meet
An assemblage of athletes siuh as
has never before been witnessed on
Nebraska field will compete for track
honors when the 'inter-college and
preliminary Drake relay tryouts are
held Saturday jafternoon. Starting
at 2:30, a series of twenty-eight ath
letic events will follow each other
in quick succession until the final
whistle blows after the half-mile re
lay at 4:30.
The inter-college meet is expected
to completely overshadow ell previous
intra-mural meets. Coach Schulln ha;,
been making a strenuous effort to
bring into competition in the inter
college meet every man enrolled in
the track squad, which number 350
athletes. The Rivalry among the
various college teams is exceptionally
keen. The captains of the college
teams all report largo squads, and
are promising to capture a large share
of the honors.
The inter-colleg meet last year was
won by the Ag tracksters, who scored
thirty-eight and one-half points. The
Arts and Science athletes were sec
ond with thirty-four points. The
Laws scored twenty-five points, Engin
eers nineteen points, Medics eighteen
points, Bizads fifteen points, and
the- Dents twelve and one-half points
Several surprises are due to come
in the preliminary Drake tryouts
During the workouts the past two
weeks, some new facets have been
making an excellent showing, and will
he given a chance to display their
ability Saturday. Competition for the
places on the varsity team has be
'come exceedingly close, due 10 the
large number of first class athletes
on tha squad, and some of the t vent
are expected to provide' hard-fought

COMPET DRILL
PART OF
ALUMNI WEEK
Lack of Spirit Among Students
' Taking Drill Causes Big
Event to be Called Off
MANY LOWER CLASSMEN
UNWILLING TO REMAIN
Freshmen and Sophomore Drillers
Refuse to Stay Over Two
Days After Exar""
Because a number of students most
of them freshmen and sophomores
who have not yet caught the Ne
braska spirit are unwilling to remain
in Lincoln from Wednesday until Fri
day morning, the part of the alumni
week program ;provding for com
petitive drill on the second day of the
celebration has been called off.
Final examinations for the year are
to he finished Wednesday. On Thurs
day, the program calls for the Ivy
Day celebration and a big inter-fraternity
sing. On Friday morning at
S o'clock was the time which had
been set. aside for the competition
drill, one of the biggest attractions
of the entire week. But now a few
students who have little or no Ne
braska spirit have refused to remain
a day and a half so as to show the
students of old that the University
still can put on a fine exhibition of
drill.
Many of the alumni who will be
back in Lincoln to take part in the
University Week celebration are
looking forward expectantly to wit
nessing compet drill. Unless these
students who have now signified their
intention not to remain for the Fri
day morning vlrill, Mi fid raw their
refusal and agree to take part in the
competitive drill on Friday morning,
June 2, many of these students of old
are going to be much disappointed
in Alumni Weel
Lack of Spirit
A lack of spirit is the only reason
which can be attached to the unwill
ingness of the drillers to remain for
the celebration. Few of the 1'pper
classmen are expected to leave until
after the graduates and old students
have had their inning which ends on
Monday, June 5. But the freshmen
and sophomores seem to have come
to the conclusion that to get home
earlier is much more important than
from thirty-six to forty-eight hours
earlier is much more important than
the successful completion of Nebras
ka's first alumni week celebration.
From every part of N Iraska. from
nearly every state in the union and
e'ven from far off India, former stu
dents of the University of Nebraska
will come back for the Homecoming
cel. -brat ion. They are looking for
ward to met ting the ir old schoolmates
some of whom they have not seen
for mai.y, many years and to beeom
ing acquainted with the new crop of
students who have taken their places.
They anticipate a week, filled to the
brim with good times and meeting
with old and new friends.
It is the duty of every student in
Nebraska to remain for the Home
coming days p roc-ram. The I'nivers
ity of Nebraska needs many new
tluncs and it is through this alumni
week that a greater part of the peo
ple of Nebraska are to become ac
quainted with the needs of the Uni
versity. Until the people of Nebraska
fully realize the importance of the
University, Nebraska will noi grow
to the proportions which it rightfully
should assume.
Spirit at Nebraska has long been
lax. Last fall, during the football
season, many hoped that the old time
feeling and love of the Cornhusker
institution was being reinstated into
the student body. But with the ac
tion of the men taking dril, these
hopes have been entirely shattered.
Nebraska must come through with
little things like this if it is to as
sume its rightful place among the
schools of the country. There is not
a student in the University but is
obligated to stay over for the cele
bration. It is their spirit which will
be shown during the alumni week
celebration this year which will count
much toward making future Alumni
We k ec-lt bn.tions a success.
Not Forced to Stay
It is because of the Uni Alumni
Week celebration that the final exam
inations have Ibeen shifted ahead al
