The teams which will moot Colorado,
Kansas and Missouri have now settled
down to intensive work on the trust
and compulsory arbitration questions.
Nebraska is getting a rather late start
thiH year. Colorado's team has been at
work five weeks and Kansas' team was
selected several weeks ago.
The urgent request from Kansas that
tnc debate takp place as early as April
10 has altogether upset Nebraska's ar
rangements. Nebraska nssumed that
the three debates would come at about
tlie same time as they did last year.
The debating board is in correspond
ence with Kansas In regard to this
matter.
With Colorado arrangements are be
ing made regarding judges. Kansas is
urging that the judges for the debate
at Lawrenco also bo selected Boon.
J. C. Doubt, a member of the Colo

held in the physicnl director's ofllce

The Y. M. C. A. began yesterday
the distribution of its 19u3 faculty and
student directory. This most serv
iceable of the University publii atlons
appears a, little later than usual tills
year, and is not quite up to the stand
ard of previous numbers in either
editorial or mechanical respects. Very
useful addition are found in the
lists of musical and agricultural stu
dents, but this extra advantage is
seriously offset by the absence of lit-
erar and social directories, and the
non designation of the literary and
social adUlatlons of the students. That
even with these changes the director
ia most serviceable", goes without say
ing. But the Nebniskan, for one at
least, hopes the features of previous
years will be restored in the Issue of
im1.
