Dean Engbergf Characterizes

Commendable"
NEWSPAPER INTERESTED
Omaha Daily New. Will Take Pic
tare of Student Cart This
Afternoon
The rent-a-Ford movement ac
quired new color yesterday when the
administration of th University vot
ed its hearty approval. Dean Eng
berg in an interview with one of the
student leaders made known the fact
that the administration is highly
pleased with the maner in which the
students have given their support to
the movement, which he character
ized as very commendable.
"We are very encouraged," the
dean said, "that the students, of their
own volition, have started and are
promulgating a movement which has
so much good in it. We feel that
the ends which the students are striv
ing to attain, through this action,
are very desirable from every stand
point." The Dean called attention to tHte
fact that three or lour years ago a
like movement occurred against the
high rates which were being charged
for dance halls in the city. He re
marked that the students had obtain
ed the desired results and he saw no
reason why they should not be suc
cessful in this campaign if they con
tinue with the same spirit they have
shown thus far.
Students Have Ideals
"It proves our assertion," he said,
"that the students have not lost
sight of good ideals, that they are
still willing to fight enthusiastically
for what they feel to be right. Such
an expression on their part certain

RELAY RECORDS
MAY NOT STAND
Carnival Marks Expected to
Fall at Illinois Meet
Saturday Night
HUSKERS CHANCES GOOD
URBANA, 111., Feb. 23. Several
world's records will probably be in
danger when the middle-west sends
400 of its best track stars to compete
in the ninth annual University of Il
linois relay carnival February 27.
Paul Harrington, Notre Dame's
crack pole vaulter who broke the
world's intercollegiate record at the
Illinois-Notre Dame dual meet last
week will get strong competition in
his effort to break his own record
of 13 feet, 1 1-8 inches, from Lan
caster of Missouri, Barnes of Illinois,
Boyles of Iowa, and Carter of tha
Kansas Aggies. The carnival record
is 12 feet, 10 2-5 inches.
John Kuck, Kansas State Teachers
College star, will try to break his own
world's indoor record of 49 feet 1-4
inches. Lyon of Illinois, Dauber of
Iowa, and Richarson of Missouri, are
all capable of 47 feet, and the carni
val record of 47 feet 3 1-4 inches is
likely to fall.
Locke a Record Holder
The world's indoor record of :07.6,
also the carnival record, in the 75
yard dash may be bettered when Ro
land Locke of Nebraska, last year's
winner, meets Farley, Missouri; Mc
Andrews, Wisconsin; Delia Maria, of
Notre Dame; Roberts, Iowa; Hester,
Michigan; and Irwin, Ohio State.
Many carnival records fall each
year, eight in last year's meet while
three were tied, and several marks
other than those already mentioned
may go "by the boards."
One of these is in the 1500-meters
run, won by Shimek of Marquette
last year in 4:10 4-5, but two seconds
lower than the world's record. Shimek
will return to meet Conger, Ames
great miler; Kimport, Kansas Aggies;
Rue, Illinois, who placed last year;
Little of Purdue who beat Cusack of
Illinois last week; Callahan of Michi
gan; Hunn and Speere of Iowa; and
Chapman, Wisocnsin, three great
cross-country runners of last fall.
Lewis in 1 09O-Yard
The field in the 1000-yard is also
classy, headed by Martin of North
western, last year's winner in 2:19

They will not dance.
'The ban on student dancing has

Murlin of that Indiana Methodist Col
lege, denied the report, comparing
his stand on the subject to that of the
last "Book of Discipline," published
by the Methodist Episcopal church.
"President Murlin believes that be
has the same relation to the matter,
that a pastor has to the members of
his church," explains the DePauw
student pastor of the college. "But
this advice and admonition to the
church," it goes on to say, "is ad
ministered with even greater care
and discrimination than is done by a
pastor."

The second round of the interfra-
ternity basketball tournament ended
Tuesday, resulting in the elimination
of Pi Kappa Alpha by Phi Delta
Theta, and a victory for Delta Upsi
lon, last year's champion over Farm
House.
The first game of the afternoon
was fast, both teams playing a pass
ing game. Lindell started the scor
ing with a field goal for the Phi
Delts. He did not stop with one,
however, for he caged two more
field goals before anyone else broke
into the point column. Whalen fin
ally broke the ice for the P. K. A.
with a free throw. Lefler followed
him up with two field goals in
rapid succession. Lindell was still
going strong for the Phi Delts, and
rang up another field goal, giv
ing his team a three point lead at
the half. The score was 8 to 5.
The second half also started off
well for Phi Delta Theta. Campbell
counted up four points. Lindell add-!
ed another field goal to his list. An
derson had a streak of scoring, with
two field goals in rapid succession.
Zimmer flipped one thhrough for
the Phi Delts. Lefler evened up
Zimmer's toss with a field goal for
the P. K. A. team. The gam was fast
both teams passing nicely, but the
defense on both seemed a little weak.
Lindell made another for the Phi
Delts before the whistle blew. The
final score was 22 to 13 in favor of
Phi Delta Theta.
Delta Upsilon Wins
The second game was all Delta
Upsilon's. The Farm House men
played hard, but could not hit the
basket, and disregarded keeping
their own basket covered closely
enough. Time after time, a D. U.
man would stand under the basket
and get a set-up shot. Wostoupal
started things rolling with a gift
toss for the Delta Upsilon bunch.
Mills put Farm House ahead with a
field goal, and followed that with a
gift toss. Dana made a free throw.
At this stage of the game, the teams
were pretty evenly matched. The D.
