Appointing Member; Choose

The Varsity Party next Saturday
night will be held in the Coliseum,
This announcement was made fol
lowing a meeting of the general com
mittee yesterday afternoon. It 'was
also decided that the dance would be
a St. Patrick's affair, with the motif
of the shamrock used throughout.
After holding the last party in the
armory, where All-University parties
of previous years have been held it
was decided to return to the Colis
eum, where this year's parties have
been staged. A large, complete loud-
speaking apparatus will be installed
in the Coliseum in the near future.
But it, is not likely that this system
will be in use for this party. The
system could not be installed satis
factorily in so short a time, it is be
lieved. New Plan For Ticket Sales
A new plan for the sale of tickets
"d the distribution of work on the
various committees will be tried by
the general committee for the next
party. Tickets will be given a rep
resentative in each fraternity house
who will not only be in charge of the
advance sale of admissions, but will
also report to the general committee,
any people -who desire to have a hand
in stsng the party. This plan was
adopted following a consideration of
suggestions presented to the commit
tee through the student council. A
list -Rill be kept of the people work

from this list.

Champaign, Illinois, Feb. 26.
(Special to The Daily Nebraskan)
Although failing to take a first place
in the tenth Illinois Indoor Relays

two Nebraska runners succeeded in
placing second to last year's winners
who repeated today.
Glen Johnson put up a great fight
in the 1000 yard run but lost out
to Phillips of Butler University, vie

Dailey made a vain effort to avenge
the defeat of Roland Locke, Nebras
ka comet, by Alderman, Michigan
star, in the 300 yard dash here last
year. The fleet Maroon again led the
field but Dailey flashed across the
tar second.
Nebraska's mile relay team com

section, giving them fifth in final
standings on time basis. Krause
sophomore hurdler, got into the fin
als of the low hurdles against the
best hurdlers in the Middle West but
failed to place. Captain Stephens
failed to place in the 75-yard clash

it must stand.

PROM TICKETS GO
ON SALE TOMORROW
Attendance Open to All Students;
Tracy Brown and Beck's Will
Provide Music
Tickets for the Junior-Senior Prom
which will be held March 18, will go
on sale Monday morning, and can be
obtained from representatives in the
various fraternities. The admission
price is $2.50.
Music for the dancing will be fur
nished by two well-known orchestras,
Tracy Brown and his Oklahomans,
and Beck's. Positions on the stage
will be eliminated and both orches
tras placed directly on the floor. They
will play continuously and will fur
nish clever dancing skits from their
advantageous positions.
A smaller dance space has been
made by the decorating scheme which
will do away with objections to the
large floor. Before this time, one or
chestra lacked volume enough to be
heard at all parts of the hall. With
two orchestras and a smaller space
this objection will be overcome.
Several entertaining numbers are
to be given between dances. These
will be announced later. Special prom
favors have already been arranged.
Attendance is not to be limited to
juniors and seniors. The floor space
permits under-classmen to attend
also.
A successful Prom this year will
place it on the University calendar or
ensuing years. The Prom has not
been held for the last few seasons
but the juniors hope to make it an
important social function of the
school life.
AG CLUB DISCUSSES
SEMESTER PLANS
Organization Starts More to Fuse
Several Departmental Clubs
Into One "A, Club"
Plans for the semester were dis
cussed in Jbe meeting of Ag Club
last night in Dairy Hall on the Col
lege of Agriculture campus.
Emil Glaser, 27, was chosen to
meet with representatives of the de
partmental clubs of the college to
formulate plans whereby all the clubs
could function as part of Ag Club. It
was the opinion of the meeting that
Ag Club should be the major organ
ization among the ags, the other
clubs functioning as departments.
Af Club Stay March 2
The annual Ag Club Stag was set
for Wednesday, March 2. Ed Crow
ly, '27, Robin Spence, '29, and
Irving McKinley, '27, were appointed
as a committee to arrange the affair.
After a discussion of the social
program of the college Thome John-so-..
'27, was appointed as chairman
of the social committee and instruc
ted to arrange for one or two parties
for this semester. i
The matter of the award of judg
ing team medals was considered, but
owing tc lack of funds, no definite
plans were made. It was voted to
award medals to the meat judging
team, which is a new activity this
year. It was also decided to award
medals to the alternates of the teams.

PLAN FEATURE
FOR SPRING HOP
Second Semester Sponsor
Will be Announed
At Party
PLANS NEARLY COMPLETE
Second semester sponsors of mili
tary organizations are to be announ
ced and formally presented at the
first annual Spring Hop, a party to
be given by Pershing Rifles, on the
evening of March 12. The sponsors
of the first semester will resign their
positions, and a new regimental spon
sor, three battalion sponsors, thirteen
company sponsors, and a Pershing
Rifle sponsor will officially take office
at the Ppring Hop. The honorary col
onel will probably be present to lead
the activities of the military escorts.
Plans for the dance are rapidly
nearing completion according to the
committee in charge. The Scottish
Rite Temple ball room is to be elab
orately decorated by an experienced
man. The decorations will be in blue
and white, the Pershing Rifle colors.
Deans of the various colleges of
the University and their wives, rather
than faculty members of the military
department alone, are being invited
to attend the party as chaperones,
which fact, the committee expects,
will give to the occasion a most dem
scratic air.
Tickets for the Spring Hop are dis
tributed among the members of Per
shing Rifles, and are being sold by
them at $1.50. Reports from early
sales indicate that tickets are much
in demand, which means that the
party will be attended by a good
crowd.
