Price 5 Cents THE GLEE CONCERT BASKETBALL TRIP fo- r. i v A Largo Audience Listens to a Good Program. Gleo Club's First Appcnrnncie l Com plete Sucre. Non. Com, Hop Fraternity Hall, March 3 Before a good sized and enthusiastic audience tho Gleo lub made its ini tial appearance last night at the Oliver thealer. For months Directors Barnes and J.he membors of tho club have been working faithfully and this con sistent woik told last night. The songs wero well sung and with ono or two slight exceptions, smoothly Lack of public appearance caused a coup)o of unnoticeable slips but aside from this tho club's part was well taken. Tho first half of the program was made up without any stunts, at tentfon being paid moro particularly to the finish of the pieces sung. On the second part, however, many of the stunts characteristic of the college Glee club woro given and tho numerous encores told that the Bccond was tho moro popular part. Tho quartet singing the very appro-' priate "knocks" during intermission was called back until all their knocks had been used up. The chants by tho Becond quartet wero as well received. Between halves of tho program the Cadet Band, with Mr. Hagenow as di rector, played four numbers in their usual excellent style. The band was composed of 48 pieces and rendered tho difficult selections in an admira ablo manner. Mr. C. L. Meyers' rendi tion of tho "Poet and Peasant" re ceived the hearty encore it deserved. In responso he played "I Love You All the Time" and was again encored. Mr. Fred Funnan accompanied him ad mirably. Mr. Bates, in his inimitable manner gavo two of his now famous selections, "Wakln' the Yonglns" and "Encouragemont," and was forced to respond to two enthusiastic encores. Tho stago decorations, which woro quite elaborate, consisted of a scarlet background, with "Nebraska" in large whito letters thereon. University pen nants of other collogeB wero bung rrom drop curtains and formed a border for the scarlet background. From the drop curtain streamers of scarlet and cream wero draped to tho upper boxes. Palms completed tho stago decorations. Tho boxes wero all draped in University colors. Tho programs, thanks to the untiring energy of Mr. Dirks, woro by far tho most elaborate of anything in that line ovor used at a University function. Thoy wero in tho shape of a booklet of thirty-two pages, and contained ' besides tlw Iprogram and the nomes of tho patronesses, a cut of Chancellor Andrews for a frontisplcco, cuts of prominent University athletes and athletic managers.

The second attempt of tho Sopho mores to hold a class meeting proved an unsuccessful one. A meeting was called for yesterday morning at chapel time and only about thirty-five of the most faithful members of the class put in an appearance in Memorial hall at the appointed time. The officers are unable to account for this lack of spirit on tho part of the 1007 color bearers. President Craker has called u meetinc for next Thursday and an attempt will be made to arouse inter est in tho meantime In order to have a quorum present at that time. BOOK STORE EIRE Unl.

IliiililliiH Anil HtucU I'urtlj' Iitmircd, Fire in the University Book store last night destroyed about three fourth of the stock. Tho origin is un known and the fire had been smolder ing for some time when discovered. By prompt action of the fire depart ment the damage was confined to the rear end of the store where a largo stock o new books had just been placed. The remainder of tho stock was damaged considerably by smoke and water. The stock is owned by D. B. Gilbert and II. C. Phillips and was partly in sured. Damage to the store building was slight as the tiro did not get much headway. Quito a number of students wit nfsscJ th" conflagration as the re ception given by the Gleo club in tho Art hall had Just broken up. On Sunday at 1:45 p. m. tho 'varsity basketball team will leavo over- tho Northwestorn for thoir extended oast ern trip. Six games will bo played ott this trip, flvo of these being played with Wisconsin teams. Tho team will bo away about elht days on this trip.

Thursday evening tho 'varsity will line up against "Doac" Koohlor's colts of Lawrenco University, Apploton, Wis.

On Feb. 24th tho last gamo In Wisconsin will be played against Carroll collogo, at Waukesha, Wis. Tho last gamo played on tho trip will be played against tho Chicago Central Y. M. C. A. This will bo tho hardest game played on tho trip as tho Cen tral team is ono of tho fastest teams In the country. Little can bo Bald of our prospects on this trip as wo have no lino on these teams. Nebraska has never met ono of theso teams before. The length of tho trip will be a severe handicap, but tho men will start in good condition and should win a majority of their games.

REGENTS RECOMMEND The regents of the University have voted fifty thousand dollars for the erection of the north wing of a ptate museum. The present museum Ib en tirely inadequate and much of the collection now In the hands of the cuiator is stored in the steam tunnels on the campus. Some specimens have been in these tunnels for eight or ten years. The steam pipes have not been Bet up yet and when they are the mate rial will have to bo taken out and stored somewhere else on the campus. Should this appropriation pass tho leg islature it would be of groat value not only to tho University but also to the wholo state. Ex-Regent Morrill will donate five thousand dollars to be paid In install ments of ono thousand dollars a year for tho collection of valuable play quarry products, soils, bosslls, etc. when a suitable place to storo tho specimens shall be provided.
