Adherent of Fowler Win Senior An nnal to bo Dedicated to Him. The Seniors held a well attended class meeting yesterday morning in U 106. Chairman Ramsey, of the play committee, reported that this commit tee had Anally decided upon the Senior play, and that they had further decided not to publish the name of the piece chosen until a few days before its ren dition, in the spring. The try-outs for places in the play will bo held every evening during examination week, from 7 to 9 in U 106, and every Senior that can is urged to make a trial. The men are especially wanted, as the cast in the play chosen Includes more men than women. The dato of the Senior "Prom," was discussed, but It was de cided to leave it for March 17th, that being the most favorable date. The matter of dedication of the Sen ior Annual was brought up and it was decided- to limit the names of the fac ulty considered for this honor to full professors, or others of higher office, eliminating all assistant professors, instructors, etc. From the start Pro tessors Fossler and Richards took the lead, the ballot resulting in Professor Richards f being Itf-the lead by a. few votes. The choice, however, was to be made between, the two receiving the most votes on the first ballot. The en tire strength of the engineers was thrown for Professor Richards, but the fact that Professor Fossler was more representative of the lilerary depart ments gave him the honor, the final vote being in his favor by a small majority. JUNIORS OPEN CAMPAIGN They Will Stir the Political Pot Vigorously. That there is going to be something doing at the Junior class election Id no longer questioned ly those who have got a whiff of the whi-Mvind campaign that hasbeen inaugurated In the past few days. The announcement ot the Soph political activities laet week must have opened I he eyes of-the Juniors who, it seems, immediately "opened a vigorous campaign and are now" doing Btrenuous political work. As yet, so far as can be ascertained, but two fellows have a presldeullal hoe buzzing in their "bonnets," and from the present out-look they pern mi will Te the only ones to enter the race. However, this is still qv.'le early in the game and several ambitious fellows may announce their candidacy in the week or more intervening thia and the time for election. The Sophomore committee to ar range for the party as instructed by the actions of the class at the last meeting deliberated on several differ ent plans yesterday morning and final ly decided to givo a play after which they would give an informal for those who -washed to "trip the light fantas tic."

CANDIDATES NUMEROUS Extensive Preparations for An nual Athletic Tournaments. A good number of men r?port to Prof. Lane and Dr. Claip every day for work In preparation lor gymnaHlum team exercises on Feb. 22. This is the week following the Charter day oxer cises. The program on Feb. 22 will be the rogular semoster gymnasium exhi bition while the tryout proper will not come until three or four weeks later The four men making the best showing in this tryout will comprise the Ne braska gymnasium team to ropresent us In the Western Intercollegiate Gym nasium Association meet at Chicago University In the spring. These oxorclses will comprise work done on the horizontal and parallel bars, side horse and tumbling. There are four points on which the contest ants are judged. These are approach, form, stunt and dismount. There will be no cups given to the persons -winning first and second places as have been given on previous years. The reason for UiIb Is that the Athletic Board must liear the expense of sending the team io Chicago but they will give badges for the first three places. The Idea of giving an entertainment before the men go to Chicago is under consideration. If this entertainmont ia given the proceeds will be used to defray the expenses of the team. If sufficient money is raised at this enter tainment to cover all the expenses of the teamf cups will bo glyen by the Board for the winner of first and sec ond places in the contest. There is a chance for anyone who desires to try for the team as no ono has a place on the team cinched yet. Tho3e who attended the Sunday meeting of the Y. W. C.

He showed that the two essential elements of true lead ership arjfe strength and sympathy. As illustrating this principle he quoted David who possessed a happy combin ation of both these elements of lead ership, but tho reigns of DavltPs pre decessor, Saul, and1 of his successor, Solomon, where failures, because each of them lacked one of these elements. -The former, who stood with the com mon people, lacked strength, while the latter, who had marvelous executive ability, was without sympathy. Special music was given by the Messrs. Wallace and Higgins. Loving sympathy for MIsb AOman in her bereavement was expressed by a chain of prayer.
