views the tifiilvorsify'.s record. When
Regent Allen resigned on November
10, 1911, ft seemed most, appropriate
to the friends of the t'nivorsity that
Governor Morehead should select such
a. well known public man as Dr. Hall
to serve as the local member, and to
form In a sense the contact between
i he gov. !-iii;:T ho.'.- and lb'- I 'niwrslly
itself. Accordingly on the Mill of tho
month the announcement of bis ap
pointnienl was. made public and Dr.
Hall at once took up the 1 1 1 1 i . ; or
'legem for the unexpired U-rei. Two
years later be was elected by a l.irg
majority to s.erv.- foa the luil tern:

Vice-President of Telephone
Company Tells of Develop
ment of Phone.
Mr. Guy II. Pratt, vice president of
the North wesern Bell Telephone Com
pany gave an illustrated lecture on
the development of the telephone and
the process by which the telephone
is made at a meeting held Wednes
day at Nebraska hall. The title ot
the picture which was shown to grad
uating seniors was "The Telephone.
Story." Mr. Pratt described the tele
phone service as being essentially
different from other types of service.
A telephone, he explained, is of no
value unless there are many other -, in
use. The Bell Telephone Company
has 2100 research engineers constant
ly at work searching for new pro
cesses and means of improving the
existing system, said Mr. Pratt. Over
CO00 patents are held by this com
pany. The entire equipment of .io
telephone companies of the t'it-'d
States, consisting of the Anient a;i
Telephone and Telegraph Company, U
niade by ono manufacturing concern.
The same code is used throughout,
the United States and entire uniform
ity of plant, equipment, service, and
operation are thus secured. The i! '.;
Telephone Company has 30,000,00'.!
miles of wire throughout its territory
stated Mr. Tratt.
Every year many graduates "f tie
University are taken by the Bell Tele
phone Company. Mr. Trait urged any
students desiring positions afi'-r gr.e
nation to see him while he is in I.i i
coin.

Competition for Places on Team
Making Trip to Coast to Be
Conducted Saturday. ,
Tryouts for the Cornhusker track
team which will make the trip to tho
coast for the dual meet with the Uni
versity of California will be held Sat
urday afternoon on the Lincoln high
school cinder track. Tryouts for the
Missouri Valley conference champion
ship indoor meet will be conducted
at the same time. Beginning Sataur
day, Scarlet and Cream cinder path
artists will work out daily on the
cinder path at the Lincoln high
school athletic field, due to the tear
Ing up of the Husner track in pre
paration for the building of the sta
dium. Since the Husker team making the
trip to the coast will be limited to
twenty men, the competition for
berths is expected to be unusually
keen. There are a large number of
men showing up exceptionally well
in all the running events, and the
race between these athletes will be
close. Coach SchuJte is being ser
iously handicapped In his efforts to
round the Husker team into condition
by the severe weather conditions,
which put a stiff damper on outdoor
training.

Ways to Spend Cheap Vacation
Are Discussed by Handbook
Y'ou all, no doubt, remember the
little handbooks that yon used t.
read before you went on your sum
mer vacation. There was one en
titled "Three Weeks in the Big Out
doors on $2V Another was "Plaeen
of Interest Near Home" or "Life at
Palm Beach on B6 cents Per Day."
All these were extremely interesting
reading. One could get lots of kick
out of the novel ways they mentioned
of cheating the bell boys out of their
tips. Our only hope is that you never
tried to follow one through. Here,
however, is a real booklet of advice.
It answers the burning question of
how one is to spend the coming
Spring Vacation. This has been
troubling many ever since Christmas
and it is time some action be taken.
In the first place, it must be known
that every scheme here mentioned
can be carried through on $5 or less.
Otherwise, ' there would be no need
of this article. Anyone with more
than that amount surely has the
world at his feet and needs no ad
vice. At the present writing the
vast majority of the readers have
signified their intentions of spending
the entire vacation resting and
studying. This shows a truly won
derful spirit and illustrates the opti
mism of youth. After the same thing
has tieen attempted for every vaca
tion it would seem It would, in time,
be eliminated.
As the schemes of spending the va
cation as cheaply as possible, we sug
