Club University of Nebraska debaters, under the direction of Prof. H. A. White, argued the proposed charter amendment for Lincoln before mem bers of the Cosmopolitan club n luncheon held yesterday noon at the Lincoln hotel. Kenneth R. Smith argued that Lin coln should change from the commis sion form of government to the mny, or-council type. He stated that the present form failed to provide a cen tralized system of administration and a deliberative head of government It was his contention that under the proposed change all of the classes and distrkis in the city would be given equal reprettentation la the ad ministration of the city and through this method each individual would have the opportunity to express him self before the council. The present form of government was upheld by Reginald C. Miller. The evils of the proposed change, ac cording to Miller, would come from the selection of twelve councilmen to represent twelve different wards. This would allow politics to creep into the administration, he said, and finally result in log rolling. The plac ing of all of the administrative duties under one head would not work out, Miller contended, for one man would not be large enough to fill the posi tion in a capable and efficient man ner. Message from Lindsay Cancels Week's Meetings A telegram teceived at 'he Y. M ;.

ZETATAU ALPHA INSTALLED HERE Alpha Upsilon Becomes Chap, ter of National Sorority This Week-End IS BETA ETA CHAPTER Zeta Tau Alpha, national Pan-hcl-lenic sorority, will install the Alpha Alpha Upsilon sorority of the Uni versity of Nebraska as Beta Eta chapter, Saturday, April 2, at the executive mansion. Pledging services will be held at the chapter house, 1629 R St., Thurs day evening. The installation will take place all day Friday and will be followed on Saturday afternoon by a formal reception to all sororities at the Governor's mansion. The in stallation banquet will be held at the Lincoln Hotel Saturday evening. Zeta Tau Alpha was founded Octo ber 25, 1898 by nine girls attending the Virginia Female Seminary, lo cated at Farmsville, Va., and was in corporated under the laws of Virginia in 1903. The central office has recently been moved to Richmond, Va. The sorority has a chapter roll of 49 and a membership of approxi mately 6,500. National Officers Here Beta Eta will be the first chapter to be installed under the present Grand President, Mrs. William Ro bertson Beverly of Richmond, Va.

"Gip" Locke To Be Real Competition Roland "Gip" Locke dispelled any remaining doubts 01 Husker track fans as to what he is likely to do this spring when he ripped off 100 yards at the stadium track Wednesday afternoon in 9.9 seconds and then after a short rest coasted through 300 yards in 31.8 seconds. Cotth Schulle gave Lowe, sopho more sprinter, a three yard handicap on Locke. The blond North Platter picked the lead at the 50-yard mark d finished well ahead. Then he came back grumbling about not being able to run any more. His argument 'faded before the 9.9 clocked on Schulte's watch. The hand had stop ped a shade even before the 9-10 mark. Locke will make the trip to Denver with the Cornhusker track squad and probably will go the full distance, competing in exhibition races in the three meets on the trip. Denver news papers are doping Haynes and Albers, former high school stars, to beat Locke. In fact, one super-ambitious sports writer in Denver rated Haynes the best furlong runner, in the country. Locke's performance Wed nesday indicated that he is back to point where he will make the best of them run again. Haynes and Al bers are more than likely to find their press agents told a big story before the meet if they compete with the Gipper." Broken Vaulting Pole To Be Cut for Future Husker Pole Vaulters A broken vaulting pole at the sta dium means another future Kusker vaulter. That's the theory of Coach Henry F. "Indian" Schulte, Cornhus ker track mentor. Downie's pole broke with him in practice Wednes day and the veteran coach immed iately ordered that it be carried in to be cut up for some youngsters. .Many an erstwhile pole vaulter has secured hij start at the game on the remains of a broken collegiate pole. Wednesday night's fractured pole was the first contribution of the year to future Nebraska tracksurs. UNIVERSITY NIGHT BANNED BY OFFICIALS Plans Formulated for New Type of Annual Funfest Entertainment HAYES MAKES STATEMENT Y. M. Secretary Says Students Capable of Producing Program of Merit University Night, in its present form will be abolished, according to a statement made late yesterday af ternoon by C. D. Hayes, General Secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., which has sponsored University Night since its beginning. Plans are now being formulated for a new type of University Night, and the results will be published soon. It is certain that, in the future material to be pre sented, will be known in detail be fore hand, and responsibility defi nitely fixed. Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of women, added her sentiments to the faculty criticism already published when she stated yesterday, "I am glad that the Y. M. C. A. has seen that University Night is unworthy of its name and of the university. How would an outsider judge this univer sity if they were to see this portrayal of it?" Mi33 Heppner believes had the Y. M. C. A. not abolished the night it would necessarily have been abolished by some one else because of the low character of the enter tainment presented last Monday night. Miss Heppner stated she be lieved there could be no objection by anyone to a clever show repre senting university life so long as it was kept clean. Suggests Changing Name Dean Chatburn after hearing of the proposed change as suggested by the Y. M. C. A. said he would declare himself in favor of the new Univer sity Night only if the character of the performance of the entertain ment were sufficiently changed. "However", he staled, ,!I would much prefer that the name itself be aban doned. I would Buggest that the Y. M. C. A. be given full charge in the future. I am not at all in favor of having the stunts given by the different organizations where the only aim is to see who can get in the . form of entertainment, produced ex most jibes. An entirely different clusively by the Young Men's Chris tian Association night prove success ful." Hayes Gives Statement Following is the statement from the Y. M. C. A. office: There is substantial encour agement in this (Wednesday) morning's Daily Nebraskan to . those who like the writer believe in the fundamental wholesome ness of the present student gen eration. I refer to the vigorous and pointed protests in editorials and signed communications against the indecencies of the recent University Night per formance. As far as the leadership of the University Y. M. C. A. is con cerned it was settled by the fol lowing morning that the organi zation would not again bpousor an entertainment of the type from which no amount of pre liminary supervision can elimi nate the most objectionable fea tures. When the storm of criticise broke, we had already under consideration plans for an en tirely different type of Univer sity Night program for next year. We believe that the students of the University of Nebraska are fully capable of producing an entertainment of real merit, one not depending upon smut to get across. A plan can certainly be developed to give them a chance to demonstrate this in next year's University Night with the material - presented (Continued on Page Three.) NEW CABINET IS INSTALLED Y. W. C.
