Cadets Have Month to Register
for Fort Snelling Basic
Course.
All men who intend to enter the
basic camp at Fort Snelling for the
period of summer training must turn
their names in at the military de
partment before March 1, according
to Major Sidney Erickson. Provisions
will have to be made at the camp for
the number of cadets registering for
the work. Consequently it will be
necessary for the commandant to
know how many are going.
Students who must wait for word
from their parents are advised to
write home at once. Men in the de
partment are working hard to take
a good representation to Fort Snell-
intr this summer. Missouri, in the
lead at the camp for several years,
is working for the same end, accord
ing to word received from the neigh
bors on the south.
Although the officers state that
the nrinciple object in going' to camp
is to work, men who have spent a
summer in training at Fort Snelling
ndd that there is plenty of pleasure
and plenty of companionship. One
cadet stated enthusiastically alter
rpfumine' from camp last summer, "I
made more friends there in six weeks
than I made in school in two years.
Cadet,officers are urging the men
to sign up for the training that can
be enjoyed at the expense of the gov
ernment. Railroad fare, clothing,
food, and lodging are provided every
man who attends. Practical prob
lems encountered by the officer and
the enlisted man are worked out on
the field. Opportunity is given for
the marksmen to win medals both
with rifle and pistol.

NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY,
SEND QUESTIONNAIRES
TO 200 DIG SISTERS
Senior Advisory Board Re
minds Girls of Duties to
Freshmen.
Of 200 questionnaires Bent out by
the senior advisory-board to big sis
ters, only twenty-one have been re
turned. The questionnaires, in the
form of reminders, are very import
ant, and the matter of answering
and returning them should be at
tended to at once, according to board
members.
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of
women, says that lonesome freshman
girls often come into her office for
advice, and to learn about their big
sisters. The files show that every
freshman girl has a big sister, but in
many instances the upperclasswomen
who have signified their willingness
to serve as big sisters to the fresh
man girls, have not even taken the
trouble to phone the girls, according
to Dean Heppner.
New girls who entered school this
semester are being assigned big sis
ters. The questionnaires were sent out
in an effort to find how well the big
sisters have been performing their
duties.

AGCEPT CHALLENGE
TO PISTOL CONTESTS
University Team Will Shoot
Against West Point and
California College.
A university pistol team will be a
new branch of military athletics at
Nebraska this year. The military de
partment has accepted two challenges
for pistol meets this spring. , One of
them is with the United States mili
tary academy at West Point, and the
other is with Pomona college at Fair
mont, Cal. The department will also
extend a challenge to Missouri for
a match this spring.
The meet with West Point will take
place in the week ending May 10,
and will include a team of fifteen
men at both schools. The meet with
Pomona will be conducted during the
month of April. A five man team
will represent Nebraska.
All cadets in the R. O. T. C. who
satisfy conference eligibility rules
will be elicrible for the pistol team
Snecial emphasis will be given to
juniors and seniors in the advanced
courses, and sophomores who intend
to take advanced course. Captain
Eggers will start training work for
the pistol team immediately, and any
man wishing to try out for the team
should see him as soon as possible.
To Have New Range.
A new pistol firing range will be
secured by the military department
in time for outdoor practice as soon
as the weather permits. The pres
ent range for rifle shooting is located
at Bennett and is not fitted for pistol
shooting. The department hopes to
get a pistol range within easy reach
of the campus.
The course fired in the pistol
matches will be the regulation pistol
course A, and the firing will be done
with 45 calibre automatics. The au
tomatics are all new and in good con
dition. For practice indoors the men
will use the 22 calibre gallery pistols.
The standard pistol course consists
of three classes of shooting. The
first is at a distance of 25 and 50
yards, at a stationary target and slow
time. The second is at 15 and 25
yards rapid fire at a stationary ob
ject. The third is quick-firing at a
disappearing target which is 25 and
50 yards distant.

ALPHA SIGS WIN
FAST CAGE FRAY
Delts Win Over Omega Beta
Pi 9-5; Sigma Chi Beats
Alpha Theta Chi.
ACACIAS LOSE 10 TO 11
TO ALPHA SIG TOSSERS
Three fast, hard-fought games
were played yesterday afternoon in
the interfraternity basketball tourna
ment. The Alpha Sigma Phi tarn
beat the Acacias, the Delta Tau Delta
team defeated the Omega Beta Pi
quintet, and the Sigma Chi team beat
the Alpha Theta Chis. .
The last game, which the Alpha
Sigs won by an 11 to 10 score, was
the fastest and most exciting of the
tournament so far. The half ended
with the Acacia team in the lead, 6
to 8. In the last frame the Alpha
Sigs staged a rally, tied the score,
and finally won by making a free
throw.
The second round of the tourna
ment will be all played off Saturday,
according to Herbert Gish. Four
teams making up the first division
will play in the morning, while the
other four will play in the afternoon.
Play Four Gaines Today.
The games today are as follows:
Xi Psi Phi vs. Lambda Chi Alpha,
4:00; Kappa Sigma vs. Silver Lynx,
4:20; Phi Alpha Delta vs. Pi Kappa
rhi, 5:20; Phi Gamma Delta vs. Zeta
Beta Tau, 5:40 (original game not
considered because of ineligibility of
Phi Gam player). No games will be
played Friday because of the Creigh-ton-Nebraska
game in Omaha.
The Delt team won over Omega
Beta Pi in the second game with a
score of 9 to 5. This was another
exciting game. At one time in the
second half it looked as though the
losers would tie the score, but an
other basket put the Delts out of dan
ger. The Sigma Chi team beat the Alpha
Theta Chis to the tune of 9 to 6.
The outcome of this game was also
very doubtful until the very last of
the game. The Alpha Theta Chi
team made all but one point in the
last half, although they threatened
to score several times.
LABOR MOVEMENT IS
DISCUSSED IN FORUM
Dr. Alva Taylor Speaks on Its
Fundamentals 150 At
tend Luncheon.
"Fundamentals of the Labor Move
ment" was the subject of an address
to the World Forum luncheon group
by Dr. Alva W. Taylor Wednesday
noon. Over 150 students and mem
bers of the faculty attended the meet
ing and muny took part in the dis
cussion which followed the speech.
As a preface to his address Dr.
Taylor remarked that he was well
pleased to find such a large number
of forums and discussion clubs in the
various universities. Lack of think
ing, acceptance of text books and
professors' statements without ques'
tion, and a tendency to regard activi
ties and outside interests as the prime
factors in college life, are the ten
dencies of the age.
The question of the labor move
ment is vitally interesting just now
because of the unprecedented turn
of affairs in England, Dr. Taylor re
marked in opening his discussion. It
is the first time in the world's his
tory that the labor element in a ma
jor country has gained the control of
the government through the ballot.
All other examples were gained by
revolution or force.
No Junior-Senior Prom
to Be Held This Year
That there will be no junior-senior
prom this year was definitely decided
by the chairmen and the general com
mittee at a meeting held in the Corn
husker office at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. The general committee
and 'the chairmen of the sub-committees
voted against the prom be
cause no satisfactory date could be
found.
There have been two big formals
this year the military bail and the
Pan-Hellenic formal and it was not
thought advisable to run ',he classes
into further debt in order to stage
the junior-senior prom.
