DRUGGISTS SHOW
Entertained By Exhibits of
Pharmacy Night, Main
Feature of Week.
SEE DEMONSTRATION
OF LABORATORIES
More than five thousand specta
tors viewed the exhibitson display in
pharmacy hall last night, according
to estimate. The display was a part
0f Pharmacy Night, the main fea
ture of the week which the drug
gists are celebrating.
Exposition of all laboratory duties
of the druggists was made for the
visitors, including methods of pre
paring prescriptions. Some 2,500
bottles of a perfume named "Corn
husker Lilac" were distributed as
souvenirs, and many other toilet ar
ticles, all made by the department,
were shown. Classifications of drugs
of different sorts, from home rem
edies of the common type to the most
exotic of herbs were also part of
the display.
Expose Poison Prescription.
Educational value of this display
was embodied in an expose of some
prescriptions which might be taken
for harmless drugs, but which were
actually poisonous concoctions. In
an illustrated lecture by John A.
Strahle, films showing organic struc
ture of vegetable compounds were
presented to make clear the impor
tance of securing expert service when
prescriptions are to be filled.
All dispensaries and laboratories
of the College of Pharmacy were op
ened for inspection, and information
concerning every conceivable type of
drug was laid out to enlighten the
visitor.
One knndrod and twenty-five phar
macy students were employed as
guides and care-takers in the build
ing. The demonstrations were also
handled by the students.
Festivity It Colorful.
Vari-colored decorations bright
ened the interior of the building, and
colored lights illuminated the ap
proach to the scene of the festivity,
the atmosphere of which was aided
by music from an orchestra com
posed of pharmacy students and
which played throughout the show.
Pyrotechnic displays added greatly
to the entertainment, also. A com
plete skeleton of the human body
was electrically equipped in such a
way as to perform as though it were
properly invested with living flesh
ind blood.
One room was devoted to an ex
hibition of frogs and guinea pigs,
display of breathing mechanism, pow
er of body organs to perform their
functions after death, and similar
pectacles.

UNIVERSITY
Luis,' Notable Tropical Visitor
is Summoned to Eternal Rest
All the wide corridors of Bessey
hall are hushed, and students tiptoe
silently to their classes. Far from
home and friends, farm from native
forests, in a colder climate, and
among a harder people, Luis, five
foot boa constrictor, lies cold and
stiff in his cage.
A heavy hush pervades the at
mosphere and Bessey hall is in
mourning. Silently, Luis' friends
and admirers file past his cage to
pay their last respects. Sadness has
descended on the University.
Inquest this Morning.
An inquest will be held this morn
ing in the office of Dr. R. W. Wol
cott, chairman of the department of
zoology, and best friend of Luis in
his last days.
The body was found in the cage
early yesterday morning. It is not
yet known definitely what caused his
sudden death. Since his milk bath
two weeks ago, he had been feeling
decidedly better, and his friends were
PUBLISH WRITINGS
OF UNDERCLASSMEN
English Department Issues
Freshman Scrapbook As
Literary Magazine.
The Freshman Scrapbook, a maga
zine containing literary, material
written by freshmen in the literary
department of the University of Ne
braska and published under the di
rection of the heads of the English
department, has been received from
the printer and placed on sale.
Contained in the first number are
the bast writings which have been
handed in by freshmen during the
past two years. The narratives and
descriptions are varied with bits of
verse and poetry on various sub
jects and even by a page of nonsense
verse. The material represents the
best writing done in the courses.
The foreword of the book contains
the following explanation of the pur
pose of the magazine:
"Members of the English Depart
ment of the University of Nebraska
have long wished for some medium
through which the writings of stu
dents might appear in printed form.
The benefit to the student of seaing
his work in print is obvious. Matter
for this purpose has been several
times prepared for issue in past
semesters, but for unavoidable rea
sons publication has been delayed.
With the development of the Univer
sity printing plant this project has
become practicable."
Contributors of prose matter in
the first issue include Reva Rosseter,
Clara Palafox, Thyra J. Pierce, Lam
ar Burling, Blanche Stevens, Threna
J. Haugen, George L. Jackson, Lu
cille Grattan, Ruth Schad, William
Card, E. M. Putney, Ida Whitten,

W. Thomas is included also.
The magazine will appear periodi
cally and will be placed on sale at
the Regents' Book store.
LOVELAND TO HEAD
EASTERN SERVICE
Director of Weather Bureau
Will Leave June 1 for
Boston.
George A. Loveland, director of the
Nebraska section of the U. S. Weath
er Bureau, will leave June 1 for Bos
ton, Mass., where he is to head the
New Eneland Weather Service. Mr.
Loveland has been head of the Ne
braska bureau for thirty-six yc.-s,
comma- to Nebraska in 1888 when the
weather service was located a.t
Crete.
Thomas A. Blair, now at the Hono
lulu bureau, is to take charge of
the Nebraska service. Mr. Blair will
nrobably take over Mr. Loveland s
clashes in meteorology.
Mr. Loveland will arrive in New
Fnrlflnd in time to attend his class
reunion at the University of New
Hampshire.
OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
hoping that he would recover from
his strange antipathy to food and live
the life a boa constrictor should live.
' Advance Two Theories.
Two theories have been advanced
to account for his death. The first,
and most obvious, is that be starved
to death. Because his only food
since coming to Lincoln over a month
ago was that which he may have been
able to absorb in his milk bath, this
theory seems tenable, except for the
fact that he was ieeling so much bet
ter the last few days. This would
have hardly been the case had lack of
food caused his death.
The other theory is based on the
fact that strange lumps were found
on his sides after death. It is be
lieved that some sort of reptilian par
asite may have caused these.
Pending funeral arrangements, the
body is being held at the office of
the chairman of the department.
The Executive Dean has not yet
decided whether a half holiday will
bs granted the day of the funeral.
Bizad Girls Will
Hold Rummage Sale
A rummage sale will be held by
the Girls Commercial club at 410
North 10th street all day Saturday.
Helen Palmer has charge of the sale.
Anyone having articles to donate is
asked to bring them to the Armory,
Friday. Final plans for this sale
were made at the regular weekly
business meeting of the Commercial
club held Wednesday.
The next regular meeting will be
next Wednesday. Amendments to
the constitution will be voted upon,
and officers for the coming year will
be elected. The nominating commit
tee consists of Grace Dobish, Janet
McLellan, Minnie Schlicting, and
Josephine Schramek. Following the
business meeting there will be a ban
quet.
AGS ATTEND RALLY
FOR FARMER'S FAIR
Are Given Chance to Under
stand Size and Value of
Project.
A large crowd of enthusiastic Ags
attended the Farmer's Fair rally
held at Agricultural hall at 11 o'clock
yesterday under the auspices of the
Ag Club, to give the students an op
portunity to understand what a big
undertaking the Fair is and how
much work is nseded to make it a
success. .
Dean E. A. Burnett, Prof. H. P.
Davis, and Prof. H. E. Bradford
gave short talks relative to the Fair,
and Allen Cook, Fair manager, re
ported the progress made so far on
the carnival. Moving pictures of the
1922 and 1923 Fairs were shown to
illustrate their size.
Reports from the committee on the
Wild West show indicate that the at
traction will be as large as ever. Sev
eral bad horses from the West have
recently arrived for use in the show.
None of them have been successfully
ridden. "Fire Eater," the bronco
that defied all attempts made to ride
him last year, will again be ready
to take on all comers.
The long-horn Texas steers for the
show's steer-riding and Lull-dogging
contests will arrive soon enough to
give them an opportunity to become
acclinated before the big day. Fan
cy riding and tirck roping will be
added features on the program. Nu
merous sizes are offered to the best
riders and all cowboys are invited to
compete for them.
The Serenaders, Nebraskans, and
Kandy Kids will furnish the music for
the day. A canvas-canopied floor, 70
by 100 feet in size, will be used for
one danceand the floor in the En
gineering building for the other".
The dances will start at 3:00 and con
tinue until 11:30 with a short inter
mission for dinnejr. Merrymakers
will be able to enjoy a long dance for
the sum of f ive cents.
Dr. H. B. Alexander and Dr. E. L.
Hinman, both of the department of
Philosophy, left last night for the an
nual meeting of the Western Branch
of the American Philosophical Asso
ciation which will be held at Chica
go. Dr. Hinman will give an address
before the meeting on "The Life of
Emmanuel Kant."
NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL
WILL DE HOSTS
TO f RACKSTERS
Cornhuskers to Receive Valley
Athletes at Annual
Meet.
CROWD EXPECTED
TO BREAK RECORD
The University will be host to all
Missouri Valley Conference athletes
on May 24, when the sixteenth an
nual Missouri Valley track and field
meet will be held in Lincoln.
The greatest assemblage ,of athletes
ever gathered together for track and
field competition in the Valley is ex
pected to take part in this big classic.
Competition in this year's meet will
be much keener than was exhibited in
the Valley championships last year at
Ames.
Kansas and Missouri are particu
larly strong this year in all events
and Nebraska will have strong con
tenders for honors in every event.
Captain Maurice Gardner, fleet half-
miler of the Cornhuskers will be seen
in action again this year. Gardner
copped first place in the 880-yard
run at Ames last year in the Valley
meet. He is certain to be a strong
contender for a position on the Unit
ed States Olympic team.
Missouri Out for Business.
Coach Bob Simpson of Missouri is
grooming his athletes for the cham
pionship this year. He has already
developed Keable, the phantom hur
dler of the Tiger squad. With such
stars as Weir of Nebraska, Blanchard
of Washington, and Taylor of Grin-
nell competing for first position in
the hurdles, this race should prove a
thriller for everyone.
Up until this time there has been
little if any competition between any
of the schools on the cinders and it
is hard to determine who will be the
strongest contender for championship
honors. Missouri copped first place
in the valley indoor championships
at Kansas City this spring and Coach
Simpson expects his men to carry
home the bunting in the outdoor
championships.
Greatest Meet West of Missouri,
The 1924 Missouri Valley meet is
certain to be the greatest staged
west of the Missouri this year. The
winners of honors will be allowed to
compete for places on the Olympic
team at Boston later in the spring.
Every school in the valley will un
doubtedly have some representatives
on the Oympic team and this will
probably be the last chance to see
these men in action before the final
tryouts for the Olympic squad.
One of the greatest crowds in the
history of the University is expected
to fill Memorial stadium on May 24
to witness these contests. Coach
Henry F. Schulte of Nebraska is plan
ning a number of feature events be
tween outside competitors for the
valley meet.
The University of Nebraska has an
unusually hard schedule this year.
The Kansas Relays are booked for
next Saturday and the Drake classic
will come the following Saturday.
Dual meets with Kansas University
at Lawrence and Kansas Aggies at
Lincoln will round out the schedule
before the Missouri Valley meet.
Coach Schulte is predicting a big
year for Nebraska on the track and
in the field events. The Cornhusk
ers lost a large number of good men
by graduation last spring but the
squad has promising material this
year.
Delta Sigma Pi

DONATE GENEROUSLY
TO STUDENT RELIEF
Nebraska Subscribes Nearly
$500 for Benefit of Eu
ropean Schools.
Approximately $500 was raised
by the two-day campaign for the ben
efit of European students, according
to the co-chairmen of the drive, Hel
en Kuthrie and Robert Shields. The
appeal for contributions was spon
sored by the University Y. M. C. A.
and Y. W. C. A. Although the
amount given by students was not s
large as was hoped for, it will mean
much to the students it goes to help.
It has been estimated that $500 will
feed 10,000 students for a day.
Student friendship drives have been
conducted on the campus and
throughout the institutions of the
country for four years. About
$1,250,000 has been realized from
these four campaigns. It is not only
a national movement but also an in
ternational one, schools in thirty-four
countries contributing;
The committee in charge of the
drive was composed of the rn ibers
of the Sherwood Eddy committees
and the student volunteer delega
tion. The forty students who at
tended the student volunteer conven
tion at Indianapolis during Christ
mas vacation pledged $175 of the
$500 realized in the appeal.
ALUMNI SECRETARY
BACK FROM VIRGINIA
Has Attended Association Con
ference At Southern
University.
Harold F. Holtz, alumni secretary,
returned yesterday from the eleventh
annual conference of the Association
of Alumni Secretaries and the Alum
ni Magazine Association held at
Charlottesville, on the invitation of
the University of Virginia. t The two
associations met in joint conference
for the purpose of exchanging ideas
on alumni work.
The associations were given an in
vitation to hold their next year's
meetings at Nebraska and the invita
tion was referred to a committee
which will pick the next convention
city, at a later date. There were
137 delegates from colleges and uni
versities present at the conference.
Out of this number only eleven were
from institutions west of Chicago
and this fact was given as an argu
ment for bringing the convention city
further west.
Mr. Holtz stated that many sug
gestions of value could be gained
from the conference by , alumni sec
retaries of the western states be
cause alumni associations in the East
have been in existence for many
years and have solved the problems
that confront the newer associations,
The association at Yale, for example,
has been in existence for over 100
years.
An event of national interest took
place at Charlottesville, while the
delegates were there when Monticelli,
the home of Thomas Jefferson, was
dedicated as a national shrine. The
historical home had been purchased
by the Thomas Jefferson Memoria1
Association, some time before.
After the meetings were over, Mr.
Holtz went to Washington where he
met a number of Nebraska alumni.
Or tai way back he visited the Chica
go alumni association at a luncheon.
He says that the Cornhuskers in
Chicago are already planning a spe
cial train to take them to South
Bend next year, to see the Nctre
Dame-Nebraska game. They 'ixpect
to have their car attached to the spe
cial train from Nebraska when it
goes through Chicago.

Cinder Artists Will Leave for
First Outdoor Meet
At 10:35
LINE-UP RECEIVES
SEVERAL CHANGES
Husker track men leave at 10:35
this evening over the Missouri Pacific
for their first outdoor meet, the Kan
sas Relays. Coach "Indian" Schulte
has not made out a complete list of
the men making the trip owing to
some necessary changes in the line-up
but the following men have been
chosen, and several more will be
picked today.
The men chosen for the trip are:
Locke, Hein, Beerkle, Weir, Crites,
Captain Gardner, Higgins, Lewis,
Ross, Slemmons, Turner, Hatch,
Hartman, Rhodes, Davis.
Two Men Out.
Whipperman, a strong asset to the
mile and 2-mile relay teams, may not
be able to go on account of an ab
cess caused from having a tooth
pulled last week. "Red" Layton, the
mainstay of the mile relay team, is
unable to compete, because of a de
linquency in one of his studies.
The four-mile relay team will not
be taken to Kansas, but will probably
make the trip to the Drake relays
the week following. Husker runners
will enter the 440-yard, 880-yard,
mile, and 2-mile relays, besides en
tering some men in the special events.
The men who will run the 440-yard
relay are Locke, Hein, Hatch and
Rhodes. The full teams in the 88
yard and mile relays have not yei,
been picked. The 2-mile relay will
no doubt be composed of Captain
Gardner, Higgins, Lewis and Ross.
The Huskers won this event last
year with the. fast time of 8 minutes,
8.5 seconds. Two of the members
of last years team, Gardner and Hig
gins, are the only men back.
Huskers Strong In Specials.
In the special events the Huskers
have some strong men. Hatch, who
broad jumps nearly 23 feet, and who
won second last year, will attempt to
better this mark. Turner will give
Poor of Kansas a close run for his
money in the high jump. Weir in
the high and low hurdles is a new
man of possibility. Locke, star
sprinter has a wonderful chance in
the special 100-yard dash. Irwin,
of Kansas Aggies, who won this event
last year, will make a strong effort
to repeat.
"Ced" Hartman, winner of firsts
place at the Drake relays last year
in the 16-pound shotput, is the Husk
er representative in the weight
events. Bassett may make the trip.
Davis who won second place in the
Missouri Valley Indoor meet in the
pole vault has a record of 11 feet,
6 inches, this year. Davis is almost
sure of a place in this event.
Coach "Fogg" Allen, of the Jay
hawker institution, has insured his
second annual relays against rain to
prevent financial losses. Winners of
firsts will receive gold watches while
second and third place winners will
receive silver and bronze medals.
