Tho Sophomores awoko yestorday to tho fact that In class spirit and push they have been eclipsed by their youn ger rivals, tho Freshmen. A meeting more remarkable for Its unanimity than for Its numbers wa3 held yesterday and It was then decided to appoint a committee to make all arrangements for a Sophomore Inform al party to bo hold In the very near fu ture. The Sophomores are certainly to be congratulated for making this move which may help to revive the class en ergy sufficiently to bring a large crowd to their meetings. Mr. Benedict read tho report of tho Sophomore Hop com mittee which was tho same aB that printed in the Nebraskan upon the day of tho function, except that $3.00 taken In at the door was Included In tho re ceipts.

Tho report that tho Slate Unlvor- slty of Iowa had Joined tho proposed "JBIg Five" appears to bo erroneous. Tho Iowa Athletic authorities deny that their representative at tho Kan sas City conforenco Saturday waB any thing more than a "looker-on," and say ho had no power to enter tho or ganization. Sentiment at Iowa seems, however, to bo In favor or a now con ference body similar to tho "Big Nine." Iowa is interested in. the "Big Flvo,' of courso, because that university usu ally plays one or moro of the western football teams that are to compose tho "Five." Nothing definite has boon done by Iowa as yet in regard to tho "new organization. Resolutions of Sympathy.

Company of Native Swedish Dancers to Appear In Folk Plays In Memo- . Hat Hall Friday Evening. "Unique" is tho only adjective that can define concisely tho nature of tho program which is to bo rendered on Friday ovonlng of. this wook in Mo morial Hall by tho troupo of Swedish dancors which tho College Settlement Board has engaged to perform for a College Settlement Benefit. Contrary to tho rumor that has In somo mannor come into circulation that tho dances which aro to bo on ex hibition Friday ovonlng aro to bo glvon by Swedish students In tho University or by members of Mrs. Clapp's gym miBium classes, tho truth of tho mat ter is that tho performers aro Swodos who havo only recently comp to Amer ica In a trained troupo for tho ospeclal purposo of touring tho United States with their high class entertainment of native dances and folk plays. Tho dancers are twelve in number, with two fiddlers In the troupo be sides, and each ono of them will bo In tho provincial cbstumo of a district of Sweden. Tho dances which they glvo aro said, by. those who havo had tho privilege of attending their enter tainment, to be tho acmo of graco and artistic posing. The dances, of course, aro not at all In tho naturo of our mod-" era round danco, but consist chiefly of rythmical movement and stops of an unusually pleasing type. Ab bns been stated in tho Nebraskan before, tho dances of this troupe aro tho result of a movement by tho folk lore societies of Sweden which were organized about 1897. They fropre-i sent tho lifo of tho common people In all its picturesque variety and are of value to the student who takes an in terest In sociology and the history of the nations as well as to tho seckor after an entertaining spectacle. There is a movement on foot amorfg the Swedish students of the Univer sity and tho Swedish citizens of Lin coln to tender an informal reception to the members of the troupo immedi ately after the conclusion of their pro gram In Memorial Hall on Friday even ing. It Is probable that tho affair will bo carried thru and If "it is, ,it will af ford an opportunity that will undoubt edly bo very acceptable to many of tho audlonco to come In' personal contact with representatives of tho moro pow erful and progressive of tho Scandi navian countries. The net proceeds of tho entertain ment will be devoted to College Set tlement work in general and to the establishment , of a Manual, Training department for both boys and girls in tho Settlement house at an early date. The work of the College Settlement is too well known to need exposition hero. It is sufficient to say-in this connection that the new department Is almost a vital necessity and that at the present time the Board has not the wherewithal required for its establish ment' and maintenance. , , A further purpose of- the present (Continued on page 8.) f t X.
