IN RE 'SOMBRERO'
JUNIOR BOOK PROMI8ES TO BE
WORTH THE MONEY.
Engravings, Sketches, Binding, Greatly
Excel Any Previous Effort Along
This Line.
The Sombrero for 1905 Is nearly
completed and will be placed on snle
Thursday, May 18, at chapel time.
There will be tables In the halls of
every building where the book can be
secured any time Thursday and Fri
day The management did not deem It
best to have more than seven hundred
copies printed, so it will be a case of
first come, first served. The price of
the book Is placed at a very moderate
figure, $1.50.
The first Sombrero was published In
18D0 by E. C. Hardy and C. C. Marly.
This book was a little larger than the
Senior Annual, containing one hun
dred and ninty-one pages and being
six nnd one-half by eight and one half
inches in size. But few original
sketches were in this book, and thje
cost of half tones did not exceed ninety
dollars.
There will be no comparison be
tween this book and the one issued by
the class of 1906 on May 18. The
latter annual will contain three hun
dred and thirty pages, be seven and
one-half by ten Inches in size, and
have over five hundred dollars worth
of engravings. The cover selected for
the 1906 book is of beautiful brown
i ooze calf leather with the name or the
book on the outside and the class pub
lishing it.
The sketches are the work of men
with more than ordinary talent. Among
them are Miles Greenleaf, of the Oma
ha Bee, P. J. Zlmmer, of the Chicago
Arf School, Ned Hadley, and Phil Har
rison. Most every student is acquaint
ed with the wbrk of Greenleaf and
Harrison and work the high value that
is placed upon it.
The binding of this book will ex
ceed the cost of binding of any of the
other books by one hundred and fifty
dollars. The actual cost of the Som
brero will more than double the cost
of the Senior book of this year, for
the cost estimated very closely will be
two hundred and twenty-seven cents.
The bodk put out by the class of
1906 will be worth more than a pass
ing notice, for it will contain features
and bits of history that will make It
a thing to keep and treasure. The
Junior publications of every Univer
sity have become very prominent fea
tures of the schools, and the Sombrero
this year will surely bo a book of
which we can Justly bo proud. It rep
resents the work of sixteen people,
and these people have labored for a
year to put out a good book and have
succeeded. The students will testify
to this fact when the book Is put on
sale by their liberal patronage.
Loses Two More.
The Varsity again began a losing
streak Tuesday" when we lost to the
University of Illinois by a score of
three to nothing. Morse was touch'ed
up by the Mini . men for eight hits
while tho Varsity was able to secure
only one safely off Opfergelt.
At Decatur, yesterday, the losing
FIVE FRAT MEN
ONLY ONE CANDIDATE, AND THAT A GREEK, ELECTED ON THE
BARB TICKET AN EXCITING CONTEST.
The results of yesterday's election
of the student members of the Ath
letic Board are as follows:
F. M. Hunter 646.
M. A. Benedict 620.
C. L. Morse 551.

After the strongest fight which the
annual election of the student mem
bers of the Athletic Board has yet
brought forth the frat ticket scored a
victory over the ticket put up by tho
associated barbs. Four out of five
of the fraternity candidates were elect
ed, the one representative of the barb
ticket winning out over tho other frat
candidate by a margin of nine votes.
For the past week both sides have
been hard at work and no stone was
loft unturned by either side. The barbs
were the first to get their ticket In the
field which, differing from last year,
Included two fraternity men. Not sat
isfied with this representation tho fra
ternity men proceeded to put up a
straight frat ticket and organized aa
carefully as tho barbs had done. Both
parties had a considerable amount of
money pledged as campaign expenses
beforehand and the affair was conduct
ed -with all the carefulness and with
al tho finely adjusted machinery .? a
municipal election. Literature stat
ing their position and the grounds
upon which they sought to secure
votes for their candidates was circu
lated by tho barbs, and the frat men
retaliated by scattering broadcast
among the voting populace of tho Uni
versity sample ballots, with the names
af their candidates crossed for -the
guidance of the ignorant. These sam
ple ballots were Immediately copied
by jjie barbs and every entrance to
the campus was guarded yesterday by
a barb and a frat enthusiast who dealt
out the guiding samples, and Incldent

who entered.

being four to three against Nebraska.

ARE ELECTED
As anybody who over attended the
University is, by tho constitution of
the Board, eligible to vote, a thorough
roundup of the various University
men in the city was made and the
election transportation system was
utilized to Its fullest extent, the only
feature marking the election of yes
terday from a municipal affair being
the absence of the yellow placards us
ualy seen on the conveyances. Un
doubtedly this was a matter of over
sight and will be remedied next year.
The vote cast at tho election onfo
year ago was eight hundred and thirty
vtwo, while the total vote cast yester
day was one thousand and six, tho
difference botween tho two marking
not so much "'the Increased interest
as tho increased thoroughness of or
ganization. The election went off more
quietly this year than Just, but the
Increased number of ballots cast is
indicative of the thoroughness with
which every available voto was gath
ered in.
Of the men elected nil, with the ex
ception of one, are men prominent in
University athletics and have at one
time or another been athletic idols of
