Lack of strenuous activity on the
Cornhusker athletic front has been
responsible for a considerable
dearth of news in the Sports col
umns of the "Rag" the last few
days. It's one devil of a Job to
write up something new and dif
ferent every day about the same
thines. Swimmers practice, wrcs
tiers grunt, basketball players
practice set-ups and defensive
work, etc., each afternoon, and the
gymnasts twitch and squirm over
bars and mats, but they do that
came stuff every dav.
Now that the All American
teams and all conference selec
tions have been gotten out of
the way, now that football sea
son Is over and basketball is the
only major sport on the front, I
confess we're having one devil
of a time keeping this sports
page full.
From the exchange papers of
other schools, this department
will do Its best to draw articles
of interest In some form or an
other to Daily Nebraskan read
ers From the publicity releases
of other schools, we'll do our
best to glean some pure news
among the reams of boastful
material released.
Sources of sports news here are
relatively few. Mr. Selleck's office
is a good beat during football

Fair mermaids and campus tar-

Issued from the office of Dr. R. G.
Clapp, director of the department
of physical education for men,
yesterday.
In an effort to suit everybody,
the department will purchase suits
just as soon as there is assurance
that the students will use them.
It will be necessary to make a
small charge of 10 or 15 (prob
ably 15) cents for the rental of
these suits in order to cover the
cost of laundry and to leave a
small balance to eventually reim
burse the department for the cost
of the suits.
Bath on Saturday.
Why so much interest should
be shown in this type of recrea
tion than ever before, led to the
interviewing of several students.

It's erood and really news.

There is no news of track to be

don't open until almost the end of
the semester.
But we'll keep plugging to keep
you informed of all that is going
on in the university spon reaim.

Other mem

Said Jim Mullins of the Beta
house, "I can't swim but this new
system will certainly be an incen
tive to learn."
Clark O Hani on, Sig Alph,
thinks that he will kill two birds
at one shot by attending the Sat
urday night sessions. "I'd have to
take a bath on that night, any
way," he said.
Delta Gamma Gen Harmon
says, " Sounds knuia tlsny to me.
However, I think it s a grand idea.
Something different you know, or
do you?" Your reporter said he
didn't know, and left her.
They'll Be All Wet.
And so we look forward eagerly
to the new dents that mixed swim
ming will put in the battered cam
pus life. And our society editors
look forward to the pleasant hours
they can spend telling the world
about "who dunked with whom
last night."
Satisfied that they have
achieved one goal, campus agita
tors are now considering a move
to convert the stadium into a pond
for motorboat racing. You know,
anything to be different!
