" TRIM K- AGGIE 31 MHWllummiWMIMI Ne iUSKERS 37 WOLF BELIEVES CLASS OFFICERS ARE IMPORTANT Blue Shirt Head Repudiates Nash Charges About Presidencies. FAVORS UNION BUILDING Points to Last Semester Class Meetings for Campus Spirit. Indicating: an opinion similar to the one expressed by Neal Gomon, Yellow Jacket faction leader, Art Wolf, newly elected president of toe Blue Shirts, yesterday de clared that he believed class presi dencies play a vital part in cam pus extra-curricular. "Although the duties which a class president has to execute vary from year to year I believe that any assertion, such as the one is sued by Delphian Nash, barb lead er, is entirely unfounded on fact," Wolf announced. Duties Now Limited. "Right at present the duties of class presidents are limited. There has been a tendency, however, for them to take more upon them selves and lack of accomplishment can be blamed on the failure of popular student support. During the past semester two of the Blue Shirt presidents started the prac tice of holding class meetings in order to promote campus spirit. Student attitude was not in har mony with such a plan and reason for discontinuing these meetings is lack of student interest." There is a very strong possibil ity, Wolf pointed out that class presidents will have more to do in the future. If there is a drive to raise funds for a student union building the presidents of the re spective classes will naturally play an important part in co-ordinating the movements of the campaign. This has been true in past drives of this nature as in the case of the campaign for securing monetary pledges to aid in the building of Memorial stadium. Hope for Union. "The Blue Shirts would like to see a Student union campaign started," Wolf declared. "We be lieve it would end successfully be cause Nebraska has never failed in doing the thing it has set out to do. In the event of such a cam paign, class presidents would of course be utilized. Last spring when the suggestion for a union building was brought up, Profes sor Schramm's first action was to call a meeting of class and organi zation presidents." The Blue Shirts will put up can didates for the position of class presidency at the coming election. They have no intention of refrain ing from placing candidates in the field because of the barb faction's charges that such offices are use less, Wolf concluded. MISS LAOIGES TO SPEAK. Ida M. Ladiges, graduate stu dent in home economics, will speak at the Y. W. C. A. ves pers at the agricultural college Tuesday, February 10, on "Cum berland Settlement Schools."

Union Building at Kansas Is Successful Fred Ellsworth, ' Alumni Secretary for Jaj hankers, Explains Purpose of Union and Method of fc. Financing It in Nebraska Alumnus. Nebraska students and nluuini who attended the Kansas Nebraska game at Lawrence last fall bad an opportunity to see and admire the new student building v hich has been erected on the Jayhawk campus. All M ere high in their praise of the edi fice which was erected as part of llie Kansas "World "War menu orial to the Kansas students -who died in the war. One of the features of the en tertainment of the Nebraska con tingent visiting Lawrence was the dance held the evening following the game in the rooms provided for that purpose in the Union building. In the January issue of the Ne braska Alumnus there appeared an article by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary of the University of Kansas regarding the building iu which he explains the purpose of such a building and something of the way the project is being fi nanced, as well as a description of the Union. In part Mr. Ellsworth says: "It was a feeling that the University of Kansas needed a place for de velopment of personal contacts and a democratic comradeship that led to the inclusion of the Union as part of the university's World war memorial." Similar to Nebraska, Kansas erected a stadium as part of their war memorial, and the Union waited. Mr. Ellery says: "As a matter of fact, only that contin gent of Kansas men and women who had seen unions in operation on other campuses were in any particular hurry to build such a TALK IS VESPER FEATURE Missionary to Arabia Will Address Assembly in Ellen Smith.

Installment Plan Used. The Kansas building is being constructed on the installment plan, so to speak. The structure, when complete, will cc.it approxi mately $750,000. To date $210,000 has been expended on the project. The committee in charge decided on a "cash on band, build as you pay" policy. They only let con tracts as money from payment of pledges to the memorial fund came in. At present the Union has its re ception room floor and its cafe teria floor completely equipped.

In 1910 he went under auspices of the Dutch Reformed church as a medical missionary to Arabia where he has remained since, with the exception of the few times he has been in Europe and America on a furlough.

Those who contracted to buy the Cornhusker on the installment plan must pay up their delinquent installments by the end of the week if a copy of the Cornhusker is to be reserved for them, Ed Ed monds, business manager of the Cornhusker, stated Monday night. Many students have neglected to make their payments and must complete them by Saturday. The sale of Cornhuskers is going rather slowly. To reach the neces sary number of books planned for and to insure the book as it was originally planned, 300 more copies of the annual must be sold, Ed monds declared. Consequently the sale of Cornhuskers will be contin ued until Saturday night instead of closing Wednesday afternoon, as it was previously announced. Al Larrabee, the campus photog rapher, is now back on the job and is making appointments for group pictures of organizations. All pic tures which had been previously arranged for have been taken, and Larrabee will have time this week. Organizations which are able to have their pictures taken this week should make appointments with Mr. Larrabee as soon as pos sible. Many organizations on the cam pus have not yet declared whether they want their pictures in the an nual. The business staff of the Cornhusker would like to hear from these groups as soon as pos sible. If possible they should have their pictures taken at the cam pus studio some time this week. VOLUNTEER GROUP TO HEAR DR. HARRISON Dr. Paul Harrison will meet the members of the Student Volunteer group Wednesday afternoon at Westminister house. An Informal meeting will be held at 4 o'clock, at which time any persons inter ested in missions are invited to at tend.

Present Current Success, 'Ladies of Jury to . State Solons. 650 SEE PERFORMANCE -Nebraska legislators and their families were guests of the Uni versity Players last night at an exclusive performance of their current success, "Ladies of the Jury." It is an annual courtesy or the Flayers to entertain mem bers of the legislature and their families with a performance of one of the plays presented while the legislature is in session. Ap proximately 650 legislators and their families attended the per formance last night. A special performance of Fred Ballard s witty satire on the American jury system will be given tonight to accommodate those who were unable to see the play during its regular run last week. The play has been an unusual success, equally pop ular with collegians and towns people, and has played to ca pacity houses every night of its week s run. Legislators were given some thing to think about and perhaps something to legislate about when they saw Miss H. Alice Howell, as Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane, vamp, cajole, and frighten eleven irate members of a jury that her decision of "not guilty" was the right one. And they were convinced, too. The play is a highly amusing comedy, filled with laughs and rather subtle humor. The gen uine satire on the jury system, especially the feminine part of it, is almost burled in the ava lanche of laughs which start as soon as the curtain goes up, but it is there and so are the defects as the play reveals before the final curtain. R. P. WINNERS OF CONTEST Niebaum, Rinker, McCallum, Darrington Identify the Most Birds. Winners of the bird calling contest, a feature of the barb party last Saturday, will be mailed checks tomorrow, it was announced last night. Those who took prizes of one dollar each are Aaron Niebaum, Nickerson; Lucille Darrington, Weston. Ia.; R. K. McCallum, Guide Rock, and J. Henry Rinker, Rippey, Ia. Unusual interest was aroused during the contest, it was said. A total of 200 contestants en tered. None of the prize win ners had all of the answers cor rect, nine out of ten being the highest score. The test was to determine one's ability to .recognize the cries of well known birds. Upon entering the Coliseum each per son was given a slip of paper on I which to write the identifications. ! Miss McCoombs gave Imitations of the ten birds that were to be identified. Vera Rigdon Will Tell Of Oberamniergau Play Vera Rigdon, fellow in the de partment of geography, will talk to the Christian Endeavor society of the Vine Congregational church Sunday evening, February 15, on the subject of the Oberammergau Passion play.

Morne Usher regained the lead in the individual scoring in the con- ! ferenec when he caged four field j goals and registered three gift toa i sps. Outstanding guarding was the j high light: of the evening, with I Hokuf and Koster collaborating for the Nebraskans, and Fairbank, I an Aggie guard proving the big : shot in the ranks of the Farmer. Charlie Black's men proved the old theory that it is entirely pos sible for a good team to hit the rocks and then come back with a brilliant performance. Saturday night when playing against an in spired Missouri team, they looked anything but champions, but last night their fast breaking attack overcame the Manhattanit.es with, room to spare. Hokuf Stands Out. Hokuf was the outstanding man on the floor, contributing one of t the finest pieces of guarding that has ever been shown on the Kan san's court. Koster proved an able aid in curbing the scoring activit ies of the opposition. Davoy made two field goals and two free throws, while long Dou Maclay was sinking four goal'' from the court. Stradski ar.d Nigro were the heavy scorers for the Aggies, contributing eight and I nine points respectively. The Husker Iron Men stayed m the tussle until the final whistle. while the Aggies were substituting 'requentlv in an effort to find a combination that could effectively ft scoring tendencies of SCR "a ' , b ska. ie(ityi"J, i " "o half, but when the second penod , "ndpr . wa'- climbed up in the scoring column and wc,e '.nd only . t?, a.L one time.
