FRAT TRACK MEET
BEGINSJ10NDAY
Second Annual Interfraternity
Event to Be on New Sta
dium Field.
MAY MAKE ENTRIES
TILL NOON MONDAY
The second annual interfraternity
indoor track meet begins Monday,
February 18, on the new. stadium
track. The time limit on entries has
been extended until 12 o'clock Mon
day to insure a large meet. Co-ach
Henry F. Schulte hopes to see every
frucrnity entered because of the po
tential value it gives track through
the increased interest.
The meet will' be based on the
point sySem ' used last year. The
two best performances of each event
for each fraternity will be figured on
a 1000 point basis. The fraternity
with the highest grand total for the
meet will be the winner. Delta' Tau
Delta won last year with a grand
total of 19,796 points, while Alpha
Sigma Phi took second with 18,021
points. Sigma Phi Epsilon ,was third.
Monday the 50 yard dash and the
12 pound shot put events take place.
Because of class schedules, contest
ants will take part in the events at
3:15, 4:15 or 5:15.
Fast Time Being Made.
Present indications are that the
meet will be larger than the one
held last year. With the new track
in the stadium it is Schulte's opinion
that fraternities will take an added
interest in the meet.
The number of men out for Sat
urday afternoon tryouts was re
duced on account of the weather. In
spite of this some fast time was made.
Layton broke the 440 yard record
for the new track when he ran the
distance in 53 4-5 seconds. Lewis
cut the mile record three seconds
when he ran the distance grind in 4
minutes 52 2-5 seconds.
MANY-STUDENTS TAKE
GURRY BIBLE COURSE
About 150 students have enrolled
in the special classes in Bible study
Riven by Dr." A. Bruce Curry, of .the
White Bible Institute of New York
city. He gave the first two of these
'lectures Friday afternoon and even
ing in Faculty hall, Temple.
Dr. Curry discusses the teaching
of the Bible and the method of the
reading of the scriptures. He em
phasizes the point that a student of
the Bible should pay more attention
to the practical side of the Bible and
be able to Apply this knowledge to
the problems of everyday life. He
uses two methods in lecturing, the
"chapter" and the "functions of the
leader". .
Dr. Curry comes here under the
auspices of the University Y. M. C.
A. and Y. W. C. A. Through the
efforts of these organizations he has

will be given this morning from 9 to
1 1 and this afternoon from 3 to 5.

Valentine Tea Given
For Women Athletes
-
' The W. A. A. board gave a Val
entine tea Friday afternoon at Ellen
Smith hall. The members of the W.
A. ' A. board were in the receiving
line and Mis3 Amanda Heppner, dean
of women, poured.
The tea was given for all girls of
the University who are majoring in
physical education, and also for all
girls interested in W. A. A. worLT'
PRICE 5 CENTS
, Candidates for class presidents, for
Ivy day orator, and for publication
board offices were announced Satur
day by the Student Council.
The polls open at 9 o'clock Tues
day morning and remain open until
4 o'clock. Agricultural college stu
dents, will be required to' vote on
the agricultural campus in Dean Bur
nett's office while all others must
vote on the city campus in the stu
dent council, office in the Adminis
tration building.
The point system question is to be
on each class ballot and will be
phrased as follows:
. "Do you favor the point sys-
tern in principle for the Univer
sity of Nebraska?"
Only two candidates were declared
ineligible by the Executive Dean's of
fice. A number of withdrawals and
changes were made in the filings.
Miss Florence McGahey has been
selected to judge ballots of the senior
class because two members of the
student council have filed for of
fices. The point system question has
been given some explanation as to
the plan in view and what the ques
tion consists of by Clifford M. Hicks,
president of the student council, in
the following:
"To dispell such confusion as
may have arisen concerning the
vote called on the point system
at the general elections, the Stu
dent Council states that two bal
lots are to be cast at that time
on the subject. The first will
be for girls alone on the final
plan proposed by Mortarboard.
If this plan is adopted it will go
into effect immediately, so far
as the council is concerned. The
second ballot will be from the
school at large on the principle
of the point system for the en
tire university.
"If the vote indicates a ratifi
cation of the principle of the
point system the Student Coun
cil will then draw up a complete
point system for the entire
school. This final plan would
be submitted to the school later
in the year; and if adopted
would take effect next year in
all the activities of the school.
The sample outline which -appeared
in the Daily Nebraskan
issue for last Wednesday was in
tended to only illustrate the gen
eral operation for a point sys
tem and any criticism thereof
should have no bearing in your
mind on the principle of the sys
tem. "STUDENT COUNCIL,
"Clifford M. Hicks, President."
