When it comes to fabrics It is easier to be specific. These are exclusive in the one way that fabrics can be exclusive. They were designed and manufac ture e d exclusively for Kirschbaum. B ALLEY mullen fabrics are styled for young men and are very attractively priced. This year Johnson will compete in the 600-yard Douglas cup race. Ilurd, Cornhusker weight man, placed second in the shot put event at Kansas City in 1927 with a throw of 44 feet, 3 inches, a new Nebraska varsity indoor record.

A telephone radio has been in stalled in the locker room under the stadium so that the track men will have some form of entertainment while taking their ehowers. Kansas Beauty Queens Stamp Denying Feet at Movie Stage Invitation Lawrence, Kans. (IP) Being beautiful is more or less of a per sonal matter, and does not necessar Hv mean that the one so endowed automatically becomes a source: of public revenue. At least this is the opinion of 28 candidates for the 1928 Jayhawker Beauty Queens of the University of Kansas. Some one made a mistake in be- lievine otherwise, for it was widely advertised last week that these maids would appear on the stage of a Lawrence theater on three success ive evenings, and a large audience was urged. The co-eds immediately became stubborn and said that since they never had been approached on the matter, thev certainly would not ap pear. They didn't think they want ed to anyway. So aDolosries were m order, the dean of women expressed her pleas ure at the sensible attitude of the women in question, and things seem about smoothed over. Freshmen women at the University of Texas are limited to three dates a week. A yr A h 'P i IV ' J J Threa Missouri Valley basketball quintets have been eliminated from championship considerations . be cause of the fast traveling Oklahoma five. Drake, Grinnell and Iowa State have passed from the champ ionship picture and should the fast traveling quintet win this week a gainst Kansas, four more Valley teams pass out of championship range. The Oklahomans scoring power has been averaging around 40 points to a game. As far as we know, no other Valley team has ever had the scoring ability of Vic Holt and his crew of southern basket tossers. But the Sooners have not let their de fensive power slip just to run up high scores. With the 12 games played by Coach McDermott's men the scoring average of the other team has been 23 points. Coach John Kellogg's Nebraska grapplers put their name in the win column at Manhattan Monday night when the Husker matmen took the Kansas Aggies into camp by a close score. Chief Davis, tbe big boy wrestling in the light heavy-weight division took his second fall of the season Davis is one of the out standing wrestlers in' the Valley. Nebraska will meet he strong Kansas quintet at Lawrence this week in a Missouri Valley basket ball contest The dope on the initial Kansas-Nebraska clash on the court this season is very hazy. The Jay haykers are in the first division for Missouri Valley honors while Ne braska is still struggling along in the second half. But Kansas and Ne braska have always been bitter rivals on the court and Coach Black will perfect a combination to go against the team of his former pupil. According to figures compiled by Harold Keith, sports editor of the Oklahoma Daily, Nebraska bad one of the best defensive quintets in the Valley in 192$ "The Nebraska quintet of 1925, the Eckstrom-Usher-Goodson-V o 1 z-Tipton ..combination that twice whipped the Sooners that year, gave the enemy quintets an average of but 18 points to a game." College Students Are Great Movie Fanatics Columbus, Ohio (IP) Does the college boy or the college girl dis like the average college movie which portrays them as the original modern youth? College editors throughout the country have been bewailing the false light in which the college stu dent is placed by the average mov ing picture portrayal of college life, but a survey of Columubs theaters in the vicinity of Ohio State univer sity has revealed that no pictures at tract so many undergraduates as those which are of college life. Other tastes of the colleges stu dents were revealed. They also like Western movies, they dislike triangle love affairs, and they won't stand for screen advertising, International News reels, or educational films. It also was found that the student? as a whole are a well behaved group in the movie theater. On occasions it was found, some "country hick thinks he can pull his home-town stuff, but he soon learns to the con trary and falls into line with the rest." HIGH SCHOOLS WILL VIE IN SCHOLARSHIP Nebraska Students Will Compete In Annual Academic Contest for Individual Honors The sixth annual Interscholastic Academic contests of Nebraska high schools will be held April 14, and the finish May 5. These contests are to be conducted by the representa tives from the state educational in stitutions and colleges using ques tions provided by the University of Nebraska, according to A. A. Reed, director of the university extension division. Sectional contests of groups of counties will be arranged in such places as may be practicable. Plans for preliminary contests have not as yet been entirely worked out The Nebraska Teacher's Association is ar ranging for them in various dis tricts. Only good general work done in school will be helpful in preparation for the contests. The awards will be for individual merit, and the smallest competing will meet the largest on a plane of equality. HARVARD ENDOWMENT ACQUIRES HIGH MARK Cambridge, Mass.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN RIFLE TEAM WINS REGENT MATCHES Nebraskans Take Five Meets by Good Margins Over Opponents; New Target Is Being Used Nebraska's rifle team recently won by good margins over Iowa SUte North Dakota State, Michigan, Uni versity of Wisconsin, and the Uni versity of Iow. Scores of the match with the University of Michigan have not been received. The roster of those that have been trying to make the team include: L. A. Otrodovsky, E. E. and W. M. Mat schullat, Bernard Kossek, Gordon Hager, Calvin Webster, C. A. Mel son, Fred Sundeen, Lloyd Elfling, Ray Clifton, John Lentz, Svoboda, Dwyer, Powell, Baker, and Jillson. Eggers Explains Selection of Team Captain Eggers at the gallery range told how the men were select ed to form the rifle team. Fifteen men are selected for the team. The ten men making the best shots are picked to represent Nebraska. He said that small colleges like Maine usually had the entire fifteen shoot and then use the best five as the college's contribution to the match and upon which that college rested her chances of winning the match. Captain Eggers showed a new tar get that is now used on the range. On the old target the spot known as "bullseye" was five eighths of inch in diameter. On the new target the "bullseye" is fifteen-hundredths of an inch in diameter. No other change has been made in the target, but it seems that scores will be lower than formerly, on account of the smaller center to aim at. The schedule for the rifle team is as follows: February 18. Connecticut Agri cultural College, Storrs; University of Maine, Orono; 38th Infantry As sociation, Idaho; Massachusetts Agri cultural College; February 24. University of Cin cinnati. February 3.

Association in Groups Of Quick Activity Will Speed Up Sluggish Mind Minneapolis, Minn. (IP) If your thought processes are sluggish and you wish to speed them up, spend as much time as possible in association with a group in which quick mental activity prevails. So says Charles Bird, assistant pro fessor of psychology at the Universi ty of Minnesota. A proportionately larger benefit will be obtained by tthe slower sub jects in a group in which quick men tal action is predominant than by the quicker subjects in the same group, explains rToiessor Bird. This is due to tthe fact that the quicker subjects set the pace for the slower subjects, but increased quanity and decreased quality is the result, he added. Behavior Is Hard to Measure "While it is difficult to measure behavior," says Professor Bird, "ex periments have shown that the motor performances of individuals working in a group are more rapid httan when working alone. Association in the group involving tthe sight and sound of others working, is an incen tive to additional actiity." Explaining an experiment which was made on 155 children divided into one control group and two sub groups, and selected upon the basis of having equal initial ability to add columns of figures, the result ob tained showed, said Professor Bird, that the sub groups in which the stimulus of rivalry was a factor per formed 41 per cent better than the control group in which rivalry was absent Group Thinking Is On Lower Level "Aside from tthe matter of rival ry," he said, "an individual express ing himself in a group tends to use more words and to convey fewer ideas than when engaged in conver sation. Group thinking is on a low er level than individual thinking, be cause the group initiates the tend ency to be expansive." In the group the individual be comes lees personal, added Professor Bird. The group takes the individu al out of himself and makes him conform to group behavior. But on the whole, Bird believes, individual thinking is superior to group think ing. After 14 years experience with student roomers, a house mother at Northwestern University is of the opinion that boys behave belter, keep their rooms neater, and are much quieter than girls. Dartmouth Presents Cup For Winning Snow Man Hanover, N. H. (IP) An eighteen inch, silver cup is the prize offered the fraternity at Dartmouth which can dispay the best work of snow-sculpture. The only stipulation is that the statue must be made of ice or snow. Last year the contest was won by Sigma Nu, the statue being a girl on a pedestal with the arm raised above her head. The contest this year endp on the day of the closing of the Dart mouth Winter Carnival at which colleges and universities from all over the east and even from the mid-west are competing in skiing, skating, and other winter sports. Marionettes of Tony Sarg Show Wonderful Mechanical Artistry University and Lincoln patrons re ceived Tony Sarg's famous marion ette show, "AH Baba and theForty Thieves," with enthusiasm last even ing at the most unique performance witnessed in Lincoln for a long time. Miniature hand-made actors enacted the classic story of the fairy cave and the wicked thieves to the admir ation and wonder of the audience, who praised the marionette show as a remarkable demonstration of me chanical wonder. The amazing manner in which hu man actions and facial expressions were portrayed by the tiny wooden headed characters drew favorable comment from the watchers. No ac tion, however intricate, was impossi ble for the little actors, who seemed able to perform any sort of feat, that the action demanded. The stage was lavishly set, and furnished a rich setting for the plot Morgiana, the charming slave girl of Ali Baba, captured the honors of the performances, both by her looks and her dancing. The burly band of thieves produced thrills for the audience, who often forgot that the actors were not alive, so real were their actions and the voices that went with them. The fantastic Magic Carpet a remarkable white elephant, and a snake that really bites, were additions to the cast The puppets were brought to Lin coln under the auspices of the Uni versity Players. Six Grinnell College men who had been expelled by the faculty because of an alleged liquor party in the men's dormitory, were reinstated af ter a student mass meeting voiced, indignation over the dismissal of the men.

Goodyear Wingfoots Forgetful Kansas Man Halts Laundry Bag ana Avoids Near Calamity Lawrence, KmZ (IP) The nearest thing to a tragedy yet report ed this year is told by the University Daily Kansan. "Cone on, Tony, let's go to the postoffice. I want to mail th.s laundry case." "All right, I'll be with you as soon as I finish this letter to my Hutchin son girl friend." The two climbed into a small coupe and drove to the post office. The first college man dismounted from his chugging and choking steed, drag ging his laundry bag with him. He passed through the revolving door, mailed the bag, and passed ous -gain or rather, came out through the door. Colleges professors are reputed to be the champion absent-minded be iings, but perhaps there are excep tions. Student Is Absent-Minded When this University senior stopped, after mailing his laundry case, to get his new Sachem pin, he realized that the check which he had just received from home was no where on his person. Like an arrow on a Pi Beta Phi, the memory came to him that the check was in the pocket of one of his shirts in the laundry case, destined for an abrupt trip to its source. Overcoming his hystejria enough to navigate to the postoffice, the sen ior called to his aid the United States postal force, and retrieved his treas ure. Incidentally he saved himself from the liability of being arrested and fined for sending first class mail matter third class. According to a survey of the Illi nois Women's College marriage plus a carepr, rathe rthan plain marriage, is Jhe ideal of most college girls. Of the 2,500 magazines received at the university library at Ohio I State University, "Life" has been proven to be the most popular. American colleges and universities have increased 25 percent in enroll ment during the last five years.

(IP) The famous Muir Study-Clock has been partially reconstructed and placed in the State Historical Museum here. Muir, who was a student at the University of Wisconsin from 1860 to 1864, constructed the machine from odds and ends and used it to regulate his sttudy hours.1 It is so constructed that a clock is set to allow a certain amount of time for the study of each course. When the time is up a large cog wheel collapses, the book falls through to its regular- position, and another is brought up to take its place. The process is repeated with each book, until all have been studied. Dartmouth Will Not Use Entrance Exams Hanover, N. H. (IP) Announce ment has been made by the president of Dartmouth college that beginning with 1928 theTe will be no more fall entrance examinations to the college. The action was taken, it was de clared, because the average high school graduate is fully prepared for college entrance. If he is not he will be given the necessary deficiencies to work off while in college. Hereafter entrance to Dartmouth will be gained by certificate or the regular college board examinations. According to statistics compiled b ythe student loan fund at Oregon State University, women spend more money than men.
