The members of Mm larboard are masked at the Ivy Day services, which falls this year on May 31. The girls who receive the highest Lumber of "otes from the members of the senior class, will of course, be those girls who in their under-class days have done the most work in school activities. In the many fields for activity upon to women in the Uni versity, there is opportunity for mors than thirteen girls who may be con sidered worthy of the honor, say the girls of the chapter this year. The names of junior girls ultimately chost n will be kept secret until th': traditional Ivy Day masking, in May. The polls in the Library for the elec tion will be under the control of pros ent Mortarboards all day Tuesday and Wednesday.

How to Spend One's Time on A Stormy By the time you read this, you will have cussed the weather for at least an hour. You will have asked your self and all available audiences why the deuce it is that it always storms on Sunday. You will have forgotten the wonderful weather during the week and be longing for the balmy climate of California. Well, a stormy Sunday in Lincoln is something to moan over, in fact any Sunday in Lin coln is not a particularly hilariously wild affair, but with the proper in formation one can nearly enjoy him self. Here are a few hints. First and foremost, stay in bed as long as you can. If the ambitious and noisy get up and play the piano so you cant sleep, lie in bed and think of pleasant ways of killing them. When you have thought of every pos sible method, arise and dress with care, just as if you really had some place to go. It is now 2 o'clock. Now of course you could go to church, but what is the use 'when you are unable to wear your new clothes? Prom 2 until 2:02 read the "Rag". Then you can start composing new verses for "It Ain't Going to Rain Any More." Of course, you will never be allowed to sing these verses in public because it is against the moral and cultural tone of the University. It is an in teresting way to spend your time, however, it is, in fact, a psychological test. One can tell by the verses how his or her mind runs. It is now time for dinner. Eat all you can so you E GOPPOGK DRIVE EXTENDED 10 MONDAY Workers Given More Time So They Can Get in Touch with All Girls. The Grace Coppock drive will be extended until Monday, March 5, at 6 p. m. One thousand dollars had been raised by Friday noon but it was decided to extend the campaign until Monday, owing to the fact that the team workers had not been ablj to get in touch with a great many girls on account of sickness and ab show that the team workers are ex sence over the week-end. Results hibiting a great deal of interest and pep in the drive and it is certain that the remainder of the amount will be raised by Monday night. At the Friday noon lunch, Mrs. Hinman, an intimate friend of Grace Coppock, spoke on Miss Coppock's work and the importance of carrying it on now since her death. Her speecn made the girls more determined to raise the money than at any other time this week. At the latest count, Lila Wyman's team leads in the greatest, amount 01 money raised. HI A tv mi TO LS Mrs. Lucinda Prince of Boston to Speak at Convocation for Women. Mrs. Lucinda Prince, President oi the Prince School of Educational Storj -ei Ic e of Boston.

She is at the head of one of the best known an dmost unique vocational training schools in the United States.

Sunday in Lincoln will feel drowsy and be able to sleep better afterwards. From .2 until 4 set in a state of coma thinking of there are many chances. You can nothing in particular or your sweet heart, as the case may be. You can play bridge and watch the sisters and brothers raise a bid of five spades. Or, as a last resort, you may study. This, of course, isn't being done this year, and would stamp you as a per son of crude tastes, utterly lacking in culture or a sense of the eternal fit ness of things. It is now 4. Your mind, if you are a girl, begins to wonder if anyone will call up for a Sunday night lunch date. If you are a man, you begin to count your change. Luckily this is the first of the month, otherwise you could spend the next two hours try ing to borrow money. If you have money, you will be able to devote the next two hours to thinking of clever things to say to your date. Perhaps, through sheer loneliness, you may say something ' that will forever en tangle you, but that's that. We will not give a programme to follow from the hours of 6:30 until 10:30. We will leave that to you and the girl. If she is up to the average, she will not be too boring after a solitary stormy, Sunday afternoon. On your return home you can talk about dates, relay races, or Miss Heppner until 1, 2, 3 or 4 o'clock, according to your endurance. You may now go to bed with a clear conscience blissfully awaiting the calls for 8 o'clock.

DELTA CRI BOWLERS WEN CJiKHIP Defeat Xi Psi Phis in Hotly-Contested Match for Title in Independent League. In one of the hardest contested bowling matches of the season Fri day evening, the Delta Chis, winners of the first half of the season in the Independent league, were victors ovtr the Xi Psi Phis, winners of the second half c;i the season, thus giving them the undisputed championship aloim with the coveted skin. Excitement ran high during the meet, and as eacn fraternity was represented en masse, the cheering of the respective groups reminded one of football season. The first game was won by the Delta Chis by a lead of fifty-seven pins, and seeing as how the winner was to be determined by the total number of pins, the lead was welcomed by the Delta Chis. The second game was easily won by the Zips, theii total number of pins on this game be ing sufficient to overcome the pfty seven point lead of the Delta Chi pin knockers and to put them in the lead by six points. In the third game the Delta Chi maple spillers got their optics focused on the head pin and it marked the beginning of the end. The final score showed the Delta Chi team to have rolled to victory by a majority of over a hundred pins. Delta Chi.

Let us in our idea of God realize that he is trustworthy. That is really the secret of modern scientific ad vance the discovery that the Uni verse is trustworthy, that it will not fail, that power always acts accord ing to law. When we once realize that God is trustworthy, that he is as reliable, as unchanging in the spiritual as in the natural world, when we set ourselves no longer to evade or defy the spiritual law but to understand it and to work with it, then w ill come a spiritual revival in the world com pared with which the scientific ad vance of the last century will seem a little thing.
