FIFTEEN TESTI FY IN Carelessness and Negligence Of Owner and Driver Is Result of Death. (Krom Morning Journal.) ASHLAND. After hearing tes timony of seventeen witnesses, a coroner's jury Monday afternoon returned the verdict that the acci dent in which Leo Skalowsky, Norfolk, University of Nebraska student, met his death near here last Wednesday night "was caused by carelessness and negligence of the owner and the driver of the truck, but not to the extent of being a felonious act." County Attorney Worrall an nounced following the inquest that he probably would file charges of having improper license plates and improper lights against K. J. Kid dle, Ashland implement dealer, who owns the truc k, but indicated he did not contemplate filing any charge of criminal negligence. It was brought out at the in quest that county authorities had been handicapped in their investi gation of the accident because none of the witnesses or principal parties reported it to the sheriff-s office. Sheriff Mengel said the first word he received of Ihe acci dent was after Ashland people read about it in Lincoln news papers the next day. All the witnesses except Fred Dolezal, driver of the truck, agreed that the taillight on the truck was not burning and most witnesses said the headlights were dark. CAMPUS CALENDAR Tuesday, March 1.

T., South Carolina and Louisiana Reply With Information. Almost complete control and regulation of athletic policies is exercised by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, according to a letter re ceived recently by Art Wolf, chairman of the Student council committee on athletic relations. The council is conducting a cam paign to secure student represen tation on the athletic board of con trol here. Athletics at M. I. T. are gov erned by two bodies, the letter reads. These bodies are the under graduate managois, captaius of teams, and an executive commit tee of men from the senior class. This organization, through the managers, controls the details of athletic management. The other governing body, known as the advisory council, consists of four graduates of the institution and three undergradu ates. It acts in an advisory capa city. 1 Under the existing system the management is practically in the control of the undergraduates, but the advisory council retains authority sufficient to take over the control if necessary, according to Thomas B. Hhines, president of the undergraduate athletic asso ciation. Carolina Students On Board. Three students compose one third of the membership of the athletic council at the University of North Carolina, according to Mayne Albright, president of the stucL-nt government at that insti tution. These students have served r.nce the organization of the coun cil. The president of the student body and the pesident of the ath letic association, both elected by the students, serve on the board. The third student member ij elected by the monogram club, an organization of lettermen. Student representatives are full voting members in all matters con cerning athletics at the university, including the selection and salaries of coaches and the arranging of schedules. The influence of stu dents on the board has been no ticeable, Albright stated. "Student interest and expression through their representatives on the council has been adequate," Al bright stated in his letter. "The representatives have interpreted the student sentiment to other members; they have usually fol lowed the Advice of older men but have at times persuaded them to change their policies. Very few conflicts arise in the council." Two students are members of the athletic board of control at Louisiana state university, accord ing to a letter received from Rob ert B. Jennings, president of the Student council at that school. They are elected annually. The two representatives, the president of the student body and the president of the athletic asso ciation, have equal voting powei with other members of the associa tion, and they serve the purpose of effectively presenting the student viewpoint, the letter reads.

WHITE FAVORS PROJECT All of the fraternities and soror ities on the campus were called by the Daily Nebraskan yesterday afternoon and requested to bring the matter of intramural debate before their meetings. An effort is being made to ascertain the amount of interest there is in the project and the support that the extra curricular activity would have if it were adopted. A box calling for the sentiment of the various groups has been printed in the Daily Nebraskan for the past few days. Answers have been received from several organi zations. It is hoped that all of the groups will co-operate so that a universal expression of the stand of the organizations may be found. The opinions of representative men on the campus were printed last week. It was found out at that time that debating could be established as a regular intra mural project if the student inter est warranted it. Rudolf Vogeler, head of the inlramurals, signified his willingness to include debate in the other activities if the students demanded it and said that he would co-operate with them in establish ing it. Opinions Favorable. The opinions of the men inter viewed last week seemed to indi cate that there are enough frater nity men and sorority women who are interested in the forensic art and who would support it. The value of debate was agreed upon by all of the students. Lack of the spare time in wnirh to pre pare for the proposed debates was the principal defect pointed out. Intramural debating was termed as a practical activity and one (Continued on Page 2.) I SHOW NOT YET PICKED Part of Jerry Lambert to Be Chosen Some Time This Week.
