THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
THREE
INTERFRATERNITY
BASKETEERS
INTO FINAL SPURT
Undefeateds Have to Fight
To Stay That Way
Tuesday Night.
With the close of the season
drawing1 near, Tuesday night wit
nessed the struggles of several un
defeated teams to remain in tho
running. It was the beginning of
the end so to speak. The final
game will be played next Tuesday
and then the playoffs will com
mence. Tuesday saw the valiant stands
of several lowly teams against the
mighty of their league, only to
have the cellarites fall before the
stamina and endurance of the men
who made up the undefeated
teams. One previously untamed
team, however was excluded from
the ranks of the vaunted by the
machinations of another leader.
The Phi Gamma Delta cagesters
awoke with a bang In the second
half after trailing 4 to 3 in the
first half, to vanquish the hereto
fore unbeaten Tau Kappa Epsilon
five 17 to 8. The accurate basket
shooting and smooth dribbling of
Bemle Sherer was the big factor
in the Phi Gams second half resur
rection. The Alpha Tau Omega team
gave the mighty Phi Psis a great
scare by heading them at the mid
dle gun by a 3 to 2 score. In the
second stanza however, the Phi
Psis arose in wrath at such rough
treatment at the hands of the weak
but fighting A. T. O. team and se
cured a 10 to 3 victory. The Delta
Tau Delta hoopsters continued
their victory march by trouncing
Theta Xi 19 to 4. The Theta Xi
team never had the slightest glim
mer of a chance against the tricky
floor work of the mighty Delts.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon team,
which has not tasted of defeat this
year were scared out of several
yecrs growth before they finally
accumulated enough free throws
to subdue the Phi Delta Theta bar
ricaders, 8 to 7. The unconquered
Sigma Nu team had little trouble
in running all over the Phi Alpha
Delta team, 15 to 4. Beta Sigma
Psl eked out an 8 to 7 victory over
the Delta Upsilon basketeers. Al
pha Sigma Phi and Sigma Alpha
Mu went an extra period before
the latter finally edged out a 14 to
11 triumph. The score at the end
of regular playing time was ten
all. The XI Psi Phi team beat the
Zeta Beta Tau team under the top
heavy score of 31 to 8.
The Delta Sigma Lambdas and
Farm House teams staged a com
edy of errors as the former finally
emerged triumphant 8 to 6. Kappa
Sigma's rejuvenated team won a
10 to 5 decision from the lowly
Alpha Gamma Rho cage squad.
Lambda Chi Alpha won by for
feit from Delta Sigma Phi.
The tournament thus far has
brought several outstanding teams
to the fore. Phi Gamma Delta ap
pears to be the class of the field
hard pressed by Sigma Chi, Delta
Tau Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma
Nu, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. All
of these teams are undefeated and
any one stands a fine chance of
copping the interfraternity bas
ketball title. With all these teams
yet in the running, the future holds
promise of some brigm uissies.

But the fact remains that Val
entine's Day, ranking somewhat in
the fore of the insignificant mem
ory dates of the month (for in
stance, those of Washington and
Lincoln) in the minds of moderns,
is being observed as love's demon
stration day. Because he loves her
or because she will think he does
not, .each guy sends his girl a heart
or a bit of lace. Charles Lamb says
that thru no authority from the
anatomy department, the scarlet,
triangular pump organ has been
named the seat of affections. Oth
erwise, says the master essayist,
Valentiners might Just as well
spread their hypocrisy in this fash
Ion, "Madam, my liver and fortune
are entirely at your disposal." or
to put a delicate question, "Ar
manda have you a midriff to be
stow?" But symbolized by red and white
the colors rich in the connotation
of affection and devotion, St. Val
entine's day has been and will co
continue as a day for reminiscing
and romancing, a day of old loves,
old laces and old charm. Occasion
ally, even old things lose their
mellowness when dragged too often
from their, resting place.

In Its Early Yearn
Fears of the public that the
structure of University hall, first,
building erected on the campus for
educational purposes, was insecure,
caused postponement of the hall's
use until approximately eight
months after it was declared open,
according to a history book ac
count of Lincoln and Lancaster
county written by Andrew J. Saw
yer. The volume relates that archi
tects, employed to examine the
building, declared it safe for the
time being, but insisted that
changes be made. Repairs were
made, and on Sept. 6, 1871, the
university opened with an enroll
ment of ninety students. Two
years later it was learned that the
foundation was in pool condition.
An order was immediately issued
to repair the building and con
struct it in a more durable man
ner. Constant patching processes
extended over a period of more
than ten years, culminating final
ly in a new foundation erected of
hard magnesia limestone taken
from quarries at Roca, Neb. These
stones, although showing signs of
considerable wear, still form the
walls of University hall today.
Old Letter Found Concerning
Compulsory Military
Training.
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Feb. 11
(CNS). Evidence which could lead
to a reversal of, the recent su
preme court ruling that military
training is compulsory in land
grant colleges was reported un
earthed this week in a 1916
"agreement" between the univer
sity of Minnesota and the federal
government.
"The document appears to indi
cate an understanding, but no
legal obligation," President Corr
man said.
Tho agreement states in part:
"The 'authorities of the University
of Minnesota have agreed to es
tablish and maintain a two year's
compulsory course of military
training." Labelled "Section Four,"
the agreement was quoted at the
1917 meeting of the administrative
committee of the senate when a
question arose as to the compul
sory nature of the work of the
junior and senior years or me k
O. T. C.
Minnesota university authorities
are assertedly of the opinion that
the agreement is not binding but
could be terminated by the uni
versity at any time.
According to Sweinborn John
son, legal counsel to the University
of Illinois, the wording of the
agreement is identical with that
quoted In the body of a letter
which the war department sent in
1916 to the president of that uni
versity.
"This letter presumably was
sent to all land grant institutions
Johnson assertedly stated. It was
declared doubtful that the letter,
if it were part of the University of
Minnesota's procedure in establish
ing the R. O. T. C. unit, could be
considered permanently binding.
Compulsory military drill at the
midwestern university was elimi
nated last spring by a vote of the
board of regents, but the legal
ramifications of the action assert
edly have not been discussed in
any court verdict.
When the United States supreme
court this winter ruled military
training in land grant colleges to
be compulsory, they announced
that conscientious objectors must
"either bear arms or attend some
institution other than a land grant
college."

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR

Big Six Champion Cyclones
Invade Coliseum Pool
Friday Afternoon.
Iowa State may just as well rest
content with the not very comfort
ing prospect of a terrific battle on
Friday afternoon if the proceed
ings in the coliseum pool are any
indications of the showing the
Huskers will make against the Cy
clones on that date.
Altho Nebraska has not won
from the Staters in five years with
the exception of the tie between
the two teams in 1932, there have
never been such brilliant prospects
for the accomplishment of the fact
as this year, Jack Minor, Husker
swimming mentor, stated yester
day. According to Mlliol. Scatli-l
mermen have bettered most of the
Big Six clockings in the water
events in practice. The meet Fri
day will provide the Scarlet strok
ers with their first tests of compe
tition, while Iowa, Big Six cham
pion last year, walked off with a
fray last week against Gustavus
Adolphus.
"Altho Iowa State holds four of
the conference records, If the Ne
braska team performs as credit
ably Friday afternoon as in prac
tice those who attend the meet
may expect to see five of the nine
conference clockings smashed, Mi
nor stated. The Cyclones hold the
best time of the conference in the
100 vard free style, 200 yard breast
stroke. 50 vard back stroke, and
the 300 yard medley relay.

Derby of Lawyers
Put in Hiding Place
The brown derby, famed symbol
of stupidity of tne law college is
being used no more. Only once be
fore in its history, when the law
yers alleged that the engineers had
stolen their traditional pleco of
headgear, has it been so long in
disuse.
it is not that boners are a thing
of the past in the law college nor
that the engineers have been pil
fering again that the derby has not
been awarded for some time. The
real reason seems to He in the fact
that the lawyers no longer seem to
favor with each student fearing
for his own vanity, and the derby
is now secreted somewhere In the
law college. The secret of the exact
hiding place is being zealously
guarded by the lawyers.

Hair Cutting Escapades of
One Month's Standing
Cause Decision.
WAKE FOREST, N. C, Feb. 11,
(CNS). Hazing has definitely been
given its walking papers by the
students and faculty of Wake For
est college here.
Roused with indignation over
the hair cutting escapades of 27
students, Dean D. B. Bryan gave
a ringing speech which definitely
placed the pranksters in shame,
forced them to make a public apol
ogy, and brought more than 1,000
students to their feet in approval
ot a resolution to stamp out hazing
once and for all.
"Go to your rooms, men, get
your shotguns and blackjacks out
of your drawers, and send them off
this campus. You will no longer
have to sleep first In one room,
then In another, to avoid the
hooded hazers who have terrorized
this campus," the dean concluded.
During this address the 27 men
sat in the front two rows in mute
witness of Dr. Bryan's statement
that haircutting days were over.
At the end of this speech each
man stood up and faced the audi
ence. All of these had confessed
some part in haircutting, and
through a spokesman promised the
student body that no more victims
would have their heads bared to
the public gaze.
The mass apology of the 27 self
confessed hazers marked the cul
mination of a hectic week of ac
tivity by the faculty and student
council. Immediately before Christ
mas an unprecedented crop of
shining domes appeared on the
campus, topping off three months
of steady haircutting. During the
holidays the college administration
was flooded with letters and tele
grams of protest, and even several
intimations of ensuing legal ac
tion if conditions were not im
proved. "Some of the reasons set forth
for haircutting were amazing," Dr.
Bryan stated. "Some victims were
chosen because they kept clean-
