Tl-e university senate committee on student organizations will meet Monday to V the Barb faction :nnaaf fro:-.i the ruling by Robert :;?n.y. p;-esident of the Student council, declaring; Barb Student council rand-ntes ineligible aa a t cnaltv for distribution of printed ' crdbi'ls in conntion with Tues i toy's election, Dr. TkJ. Thompson, tliairncn of the committee, said CFtcrday. Th3 Bard appeal was filed with ths facultv committee yesterday. Al.n Williams, barb leader, ex v'p.ined the anneal was bared on the provision in the recently passed student council constitution that any croup may appeal to the ap-'li-optir.te committee of the nni ersity senate whenever it feels the Student council has exceeded or misapplied its power or has as sumed aa unwarranted jurisdic ,.on. Williams holds that the new constitution supercedes the coun cil senate election rul?s which pro hibited the use of "printed, mimeo rvraphed, typed, or otherwise pub iished material in behalf of any condidats" and that such cim jaigii measures are not now ille gal! Old Rules May Hold. Dr. Thompson ye iy said that the new constitution repeals .nly the old constitution proper r.nd such by laws and nil'- as aie in conflict with its provisions.

Schulte Wore Track Was Drafted Into Coach "Indian" Schulte, Nebras ka's great track coach, was an ail-American guard in football at Michigan but had on a track suit but once in his life. Not only did he have on a suit but once but the Indian actually held a great dislike for the sport before he was made to become a track coach because of a contract he could not break. Schulte's only experience in a track suit occurred while he was attending prep school at Smith academy, St. Louis, Mo. It was but a few days until the interclass track meet and the coach was anxious to save a large turnout for the meet so he visited all the school dormitories to invite or draft any students he could find who. looked like track material. "Where ha ve you been all year ? the coach demanded of a youth so W ins Muic Award ' 1 Photo bv Townsend. Court y of The Journal. MISS MILDRED LYMAN.

In each case their official title will be assistant county extension agent The young men are all graduates of the college of agriculture and have had farm and 4-H club ex perience. Mr. Cole's office will be at Fair bury, Mr. Snyder's at Oshkosh in Garden county and Chappcll. in Deuel county, and Mr. Tolman's at Nelson in Nuckolls county. Their work from now until the middle of June will be largely with groups of boys and girls who want to or ganize 4-H clubs. The rest of the season they will help local leaders with the meetings and encourage their 4-H club members to go to district judging days and camps. When fair time approaches, they will see that the entries of 4-H club products are properly made and help the boys and girls and their leaders exhibit their mate rials and livestock at the local fairs. The young men are employed co-operatively by an organization within each county and the state and federal agricultural extension service. Part of the funds are pro vided locally and part of them are supplied from the state office of agricultural extension work at the agricultural college. The employment of the three new agents brings the total of county and assistant county agents in Nebraska to 67, the largest number in the history of extension work in the state.

Schulte was informed that he was to appear at the track and that he was to put the shot. Hav ing but a faint idea of what put ting the shot meant the big noy decided that he had better appear and do as he was told.

George Jones, University of Kan sas, Big Six quarter mile indoor champion, will be able to run in the Big Six meet at Lincoln this week, it is believed, and his pres ence may add a few points to the Kansas total. He has been ut with a pulled muscle ever since the Kansas relays when he ran a leg on the winning Jayhawker quarter mile relay team that did 41.1 sec onds. He probably will not be up to top form again this season, however . Bob Ostergaard, N e b r a s k a's flashy quarter miler, is Jones' most threatening competition. Os tergaard is also being hampered in workouts these days by a game leg similar to that bothering the Kansas mnner. In top form Oster gaard set up a 49 second record for the 440 stretch as a Husker varsity mark during the 1930 sea son.
