' July 21
NEW INSTRUCTORS
IN SECOND TERM
monp the new instructors who
will teach during the second term
of the summer school are superin
tendent A. IT. Daley of Hastings;
ssistnnt Superintendent W. U Curf
man of the Lincoln public schools;
Principal Mattie Allen Branthwaite
and Miss Bigford of the Lincoln
schools.
Track Coach Henry F. Schulte, as
sistant athletic director of the uni
versity, is planning to edit a "Mid
summer Tales" before the end of the
present summer. The "Tales" is a
scandal sheet for Nebraska athletes.
It contains news of the activities of
all of them, together with plans for
the coming season and constructive
criticism from coaches, students and
alumni.
The first issue of "Midsummer
Tales" was published two years ago
by Schulte. Last year it was neg
lected, but this summer the sheet is
again to go out to all Nebraska ath
letes. Not only is it going to the
present student athletes, but the
iheet will also be sent to alumni "N
men. This is done in an effort to
keep their interest in Nebraska ath
letics at a high pitch and to inspire
them back for the athletic seasons.
Coach Schulte plans to do most of
the work on the sheet himself. He
will soon embark upon a journey to
Michigan where he will spend his va
cation. It is there that he hopes to
do the work connected with the sheet.
Letters are being sent to a number
of present and former athletes ask
ing for help with the sheet, for state
ments to run in it.
"Midsummer Tales" is published to
fill in the gap between the end of
school in June and the start in Sep
tember. Nebraska athletes are spread
all over the state and it is rare that
more than two or three get together
at one time. The "Tales" brings
them close to all other athletes and
increases their desire to get back to
school.
