Bureau Receives Calls
For College Teachers
(University News Service)
The Bureau of Recommendation
for Teachers has received calls for
instructors in a new junior college
at St Joseph, Missouri, and for the
new Municipal University of Wichi
ta, Kansas, where Fairmont College
was recently taken over by the city.
There will be a reorganization of
the college with practically a new fa
culty. Positions open are in the de
partments of English, education,
Spanish, German, French, history,
chemistry, and botany.
WEATHER FORECAST
Sunday: Generally fair and
somewhat warmer.
Weather Conditions
The storm area has moved east
ward to the lower Lake region and
showers occurred yesterday or last
night from Iowa eastward to
Pennsylvania. It is followed by
high preseur and clear, cool
weather over most of the Missouri
and Mississippi valleys, with light
frost at places in Wisconsin,
northern Iowa, and northern Ne
braska. Pressure is falling in the
northern Mountain region, caus
ing showers and warmer weather
in western Canada and North Da
kota. THOMAS A. BLAIR,
Meteorologist.
The Carnival of Fun to be held
at the Field House Friday, May 28,
will without a doubt be the largest
and most elaborate affair of its kind
ever staged on the campus. From
the time the doors swing open at
7:30 until they close again at 11:30
there will not be a dull moment noi
a thing lacking to make an ideal car
nival. The entire Field House is to be
converted into a huge mid-way for
booths, cane-booths, eskimo pies,
prize .T'hance-stands, dancing, horns, pa
rades, prizes and the indispensable
horse-shoe stand are only a few of
the things that will line the three-
block mid-way.
Admission Free
Admission to the Carnival of Fun,
as well as the dancing, is free.
The "Streets of Caro" will give
the Carnival a tinge of the oriental.
This big attraction will take half the
floor space and will have for its main
events dancing girls, mystic fortune
tellers, side-shows, and every sort of
oriental mystery.
Flavia Waters and a group of
dancers will be found in one of these
side-snows in a most unusual pro
gram of dancing numbers. Other
'.xhibitions will be there which the
onlookers will not be able to resist.
The fancy dress parade of the re
presentatives from all the sorority
and fraternity groups on the campus
will be one of the many unusual
features of the evening. The bal
conies will provide an excellent place
to view this and other events during
the varied program.
The booths which will line the mid
way will be colorful, clever and at
tractive. A prize will be given to
the group having the best booth.
Competitive Drill
Dancing will be continuous from
7:30 until 11:30. There will be no
charge for dancing and no intermis
sions. The dance floor is being laid
and will be large enough for every
one to dance comfortably. The
University Band will play for danc
ing the first half of the evening.
The Collegians with several extra
pieces added to their usual orches
tra will continue the music when the
band stops at 9:00.
The final events of competitive
drill will be staged during the even
ing. The winning company will be
presented with the Omaha Cup. Fol
lowing the presentation the winning
company will parade down the mid
way in a grand march with their la
dies.
A five-minute drill will be given
by the Pershing Rifles. Another
military event will be individual
"cornpet" when the winning cadet
will be decided by the completion of
the elimination.
The 1926 Cornhusker will be
placed on sale Monday morning in
the south-west corner room of Ad
ministration building. Students are
urged by the business manager to
got their copies as soon as possible
as the selling campaign will be lim
ited to the early part of the week.
Enough copies have been secured to
provide for those who failed to re
serve their book.
Simplicity and dignity typify the
art work and the dark cover of the
yearbook. A three-color process has
been used on the division pages.
The sub-division pages have a beau
tiful border with still-life half-tone
inserts appropriate to each division.
Notable among the improvements
in the new books is the grouping of
the honorary and professional fra
ternities into a separate section
rather than by their colleges as in
former years.
The campus events and the stu
dent life section have been enlarged
and contain the important events
in student life and activities. The
many cuts of athletes and athletic
events feature the sports section.
The books are now on display at
Magee's and at Miller and Paine's.

The last services for Miller Moore
Fogg, director of the School of
Journalism, and professor of Eng
lish, were held Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock at the family home, 1540
South Twenty-first Street Peace
fully resting his face without a
trace of the wracking pain he had
suffered for over six weeks Pro
fessor Fogg was seen for the last
time by his many Nebraska friends,
colleagues in the faculty, and stu
dents in the University who came to
pay a final tribute to the great
teacher who had served the Univer
sity so well for twenty-five years.
The services were short nd simple,
even as Professor Fogg himself would
have directed they be. The Rev.
Dean R. Leland, Presbyterian Uni
versity pastor, read from the Scrip
tures and gave the prayer. Lucille
Cline and Doric Cole Clapp, accom
panied at the piano by Dr. J. M. May-
hew, sang "Abide With Me," and
"Dear Lord and Father of Mankind."
Chancellor Samuel.. Avery praised
in high terms the principles and re
lationships of Professor Fogg in the
home, the University, and the com
munity. He reviewed briefly his life
and achievements.
The body will be at Wadlow's
chapel until 4:40 this afternoon when
it will be taken to Rosemont, New
Jersey, for burial in the family lot.
Professor Fogg's sister, Mrs. Lida
Kerr, of New York City, and Mr. Roy
Herbert Whiteham of Boston, son-in-law,
will go back with the body. Mrs,
Fogg and the only daughter, Elea-
nore, will remain in Lincoln for about
a month, and then will return East.
Chancellor Avery's Tribute
"Miller Moore Fogg was "born Jan
uary 15, 1968 at Kingwood, New
Jersey, the son of a Baptist minis
ter," Chancellor Avery said. "He
was graduated from Peddie Institute
at Hightstown, New Jersey, the same
school from which Mrs. Fogg was al
so graduated. He then went to Col
gate, his father's university, where
he studied two years, and then enter
ed Brown university, where he re
ceived the degree of bachelor of arts
in 1890 and of master of arts in
1891. Immediately after receiving
his A B. degree, Professor Fogg was
appointed an instructor at Brown,
which was considered a great honor,
and he served in that capacity for
five years. Chancellor Andrews was
at Brown at that time.
"On September 11, 1895, Profes
sor and Mrs. Fogg were married, and
while Mr. Fogg was studying for the
degree of doctor of philosophy at
Harvard, Chancellor Andrews wrote

MORE STRINGENT
ELIGIBILITY RULES
yalley Coaches Decide One Year's
Competition in Small School To
Equal Year in College
Several changes were made in the
Valley rules at the meeting of the
athletic officials of the ten confer
ence schools held here during their
stay for the meet
Eligibility rules were cl.anged so
that a year's competition in a small
school counts as a year's intercollegi
ate competition. Previously, two
years counted as one.
The basketball guarantee for tra
veling teams was raised from $250 to
$400 with an option of the visiting
team making arrangements to take
50 per cent of the ate receipts.
The size of the tennis tournament
caused discussion regarding limiting
the number further. The confer
ence officials were in favor of low
ering the entry list from four sin
gles players and two doubles teams to
two singles players and one doubles
team from each school.
Wirsig
that were broken were the
100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, pole
vault, discus throw, javelin throw,
and 880-yard relay. The Nebraska
team which broke the relay record
was composed of Daily, Wyatt, Weir
and Locke, running in that order.
Their time was within 3-5 of a second
of what was the world's record be
fore the performance of Hein, Dail
ey, Davenport, and Locke at the Kan
sas Relays this spring.
Locke's performances were the
outstanding in a meet filled with
thrilling races and record-breaking
work. A slight breeze blew from
the south during part of the meet
but the starter succeeded in getting
the 100 and 220 dashes off durintr
a lull.
In doing this on the 100, he had to
hold them on their marks a little
long. Locke had a poor start br
breasted the tape easily in 9.6, again
tieing the world's record. A flag
standing in the middle of the course
hung limp throughout the race. Ona
otch caught him at 9.5, one at 9.6
and the other at 9.7.
Locke's Record Certain
The 220 went the same way. with
Locke again breaking Paddock's re
cord of 20.8. Locke stepped it in
20.7, the same time he made a week
aro. This is the third time he has
run it in better than 20.8 and the
secdnd time under official A. A. U.
sanction, so it is almost a certainty
mat. ne will be credited with the re
cord. His running in the 880-relay was
amazing. Kansas had a fifteen-yard
lead and Missouri ten. For the first
time this year, Locke looked like he
was running instead of just striding
along. For once he had a real job
ahead of him. The time of less than
20 seconds is tremendously fast but
of course the running start makes a
slight difference. Cich Schulte
