THE SENIORS MEET
Chairman Ramsey Reports Play
Committee. Decision.
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." The feature of the evening will
be masquerading.

from all parts of the state to the Uni
versity farm, and together vii t le
287 students in the school ot agrli ul
turo give the grounds a very h .e!y ap
pearance, to say the least. The 2 men,
Who represent the moro progressive cl
ement in our rural population, are an
enthusiastic lot enthusiastic o'or thrt
interests their ariou. organizations
are aiming to advance. They urc alo
proud of the University and arc 'ount
ed among the moat loyal friends of the
Institution, for they realize that
through the efforts of the department
of agriculture especially their occupa
tion is not only raised to a higher
level generally but is a'po made more
remunerative. The officers and in
structors at the school are pulling
forth every effort to extend to the
visitors a hearty welcome.
The association of agricultural stu
dents held their annual business meet
ing in the judging pavilion at the farm

subject, "Why a Bronco Bucks."
The students "who labored with the
questions of the Rhode's scholarship
examination yesterday were Paul
Wright of Wesleyan, Walter Smith of
Grand Island and Edwin R. Guthrlt of

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.

mislsonary noon meetings of next
week with Miss Rouse. 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.
