test at the l air. The conical Is
open to all sororities. To qualify
for competition a sorority must be
represented by two riders on owned

"The offering of the trophy by
Mr. Fee will undoubtedly stimulate
Interest In the event and I wouldn't
be surprised If nearly all the soror
ities were entered by May 4,"
slated Spence.
A mounted balloon race, in which
all coeds are eligible to compete, is
another feature of the riding show
at the Fair. The game calls for
display of clever riding and flashy
action. One rider, carrying a bal
loon, tries to evade the remainder
of the group in an attempt to pre
vent them from piercing the bal
loon with bamboo rapiers with
which they are equipped.
The first girl -to puncture a bal
loon is declared the winner and Is
eliminated from farther competi
tion. The race continues until five
balloons have been destroyed, the
placing of tbe contestants being de

Power of Prets Seemt
Evident in Removal of
IT Hall Seat Wrecks
Dailv Nebraskan propaganda is

tained a feature story, lamenting
the Inconveniences of the seats in
"U" hall, and lo and behold on Sat
urday carpenters were at work re
moving them and suDstuuung mm
comfortable and convenient chairs.
Apparently university officials do
not wish the students to become
physical as well as mental wrecks.
So the hard old seats upon which
many a Nebraska father as well as
son sat and suffered were removed
and placed in storage, where they
will remain until the financial con
dition of tbe University compels
them to be resurrected nd again
be used as objects on which stu
