NO CARDS OR DANCES.
'j Inter-Society Party Not to In
dulge in Them.
A set of resolutions of rather un
usual character was considered in the
regular, meetlngs'of the literary socie
ties last .Friday night. The resolu
tions were drawn up by a joint com
mittee appointed by the different so-
i cleties to look into the matter of hold-

concern the practice of, dancing and
card playing that has hitherto been
maintained at such functions. In the
light of previous experience, the com-
mlttee proposed to cut out of the con-
f templated party any forms of enjoy-
;, ment like cards and dancing because
ui iuu liuuuiu uiui uiwuys arises over
tho matter. Neither the committee nor
the societies which they represented
were opposed to card playing and danc
ing through prejudice as to right or
wrong of those enjoyments, but be
cause of the wrangling that they cause,
since a largo number of society mem
bers neither dance nor play cards. By
planning the programs for inter-society
functions so as to include those forms
of amusements an extra expense is in
TJeurred upon the aggregate of society
members, while only a few really care
to dance and play cards. The societies
were unanimous In their approval of
the resolutions, but they did not adopt
them permanently because such action
would involve a change In the consti
tutions of the organizations. The ac
tion merely concerns the lnter-3odety
party which will occur Friday, night,
and will have no bearing upon future
inter-society functions. It was thought
best to make the abandonment of thoBe
amusements temporary, and not per
manent, because a different class of
students may next year have control of
the societies.
The University of Nebraska has been

Decide It To-Night.
I.overB of indoor sport will probably
have tonight tho last opportunity this
year of witnessing a basket-ball game.
The juniors and freshmen line up to
night for the final class battle. The
game will be played In the armory,
and will be called at 8 p. m. The
Juniors have won from the sophomores
by a score of 29 to 18, and the fresh
men from the seniors to the tune of
22 to 7. The juniors have been prac
ticing daily at chapel time, and the
froBhmen have also been putting IiO
some good licks in this direction. The
upper class men' have a strong team,
but will be severely handicapped on
this occasion by the loss of Ludden,
who is 111, and will likely be unable
to help defend his class colors. Al
though thus put at a disadvantage, the
juniors are confident of victory, and
it Beems to be the general impression
that they will fulfil their expectations.
Nevertheless, the freshmen have a
swift aggregation, and if their oppo
nents should have an off night they
may be surprised by the work of tho
first year men. At any rate, It will be
a fast and exciting contest well worth
witnessing. The game has been well
advertised, and a good crowd will like
ly be In attendance. Quite a number
of city people" are expected to bo pres
ent. Considerable Interest has been
aroused over this contest among the
classes. The freshmen held a meeting
this morning to stir up interest and the
juniors will be out in a body to cheer
their team to victory. Ten cents ad
mission will be charged to defray Jani
tor expenses. If there Is any surplus
In tho treasury It will go to the team
which wins tonight, and caps will be
purchased wJJ.h It. However, this is
hardly to leexpected. Dr. Clapp, It. D.
Andreson and I. P. Hewitt will offici
ate. The line-up:
Juniors. Freshmen.

- Four Days Easter.
The pleaBlng Information was ob
tained Saturday from the executive
office that the Easter vacation Ib to
begin Thursday evening at 6 o'clock
and continue until 8 o'clock the follow
ing Tuesday morning, giving four full
days to those who wish to spend the
vacation with "the folks at home," or
elsewhere out of town.
Interrupted Again.
Last week the baseball men were
permitted to practice outside on Mon
day, Tuesday and Saturday. They were
yesterday compelled to return to the
cage, where the battery candidates went
through the old ordeal In close, dark
quarters. Most of the other men took
a work-out In tho gym. If the weathor
king could hear some of the remarks
made by the men concerning tho man
ner In which ho is ruling, ho might
be tempted to give ub a few days of
continued sunshine. "If cold weather
continues we might organize an indoor
baBOball team," remarked one of the
men In discussing the discouraging
situation. If this same condition ex
isted at other colleges whose teams wo
must meet there would be no great rea
son for complaint. But when we read
of the splendid progress made In base
ball at some of these Institutions where
the teams are already in fair form,
while our nine has never yet lined up,
it has a tendency to make University
baseball enthusiasts feel somewhat
sick. However, the weather cannot bo
altered and whatever comes will be ac
cepted with the best grace possible.
Definite plans have been decided iitf
on In regard to a co-operative experi
ment to be carried on by the school
of agriculture In connection with the
United States department of agricul
ture. It Is to be a variety test, con
sisting principally of vegetables. Tho
experiment station furnishes tho land
and has direct supervision, the depart
ment of agriculture paying the ex
penses. It will bo, supervised by the
nortlcultural department, with Mr. B.
I. Dill, a student in tho University, in
charge.
