80PH0M0RE POLITIC8.
New Factions Being Formed Over
Cornhu8ker Managership.
The recent election has not left
Sophomore political waters untroubled.
Much interest Is being displayed in
the contest between Don Russol of
Delta Upsilon and Yale Holland of
Sigma Chi for the business manager
ship of the Cornhusker. It Is rumored
that Holland will receive the nomina
tion from the president but Russel's
friends declare that they will force
the name of tholr candidate before the
class. As neither candldato was a
member of either of tho political rings
smashed at the recent election, it ap
pears that two factions are forming In
the class on totally different linos
than have divided It In the past.

Names to Be Presented Next Week
Progress of Work Book Out
the First of May.
Meetings will be callod oarly next
wook by tho Senior and Junior presi
dents for tho purpoBo of placing in
nomination with tho classoB tho nnmos
or four people to ono of whom tho
Cornhusker 1h to bo dodlcatod. Tho
considerations influencing tho odltors
in putting up those nnmos aro tho gon
eral attitude of the studonts toward
them and whether or not they havo
had former publications dedicated to
them. Tho aim has boon to chooso
names of thoso folt to bo closost In
sympathy with tho studont body. At
theBo mootlnga, tho Senior Laws aro
expected to vote with the Sonlor Aca
demics nnd the Junior Laws with tho
corresponding ucadomlc class. Tho
object is thus to obtain tho popular
will in regard to this mattor, and
sealed ballots sent by proxy will bo
accepted. That Is, any ono unablo to
attend may send a soalod ballot by'
some one else- and tho vote thus
given will bo counted. Tho four
names to bo voted upon aro Dean Bos
sy, ProfeBBor Caldwell, Captain Work
Izor, and Alice Balrd Ensign, Assist
ant Registrar. It really lies within
tho province of tho editors to choose
tho ono name themselves, but thoy pre
fer this method of obtaining tho will
of tho majority.
Up to tho present' tho shaping of tho
material for the book has progressed
smoothly and now nil tho Individual
photographs oxcopt a fow taken lato
are mounted on tho panels and a largo
number aro In tho hands of tho engrav
ers. The photographs aro arranged
on thoso panels In alphabetical order
and whoro tho picture has not oeen'
turned In, tho space has novortholoss,
been reserved and it will now bo imv
possible to withdraw from tho list.
Tho two or three still withholding
photographs should delay no longor.
There are also a fow organizations
yot to bo heard from. Thoso aro tho
debating teams, tho baseball team, the
Iron Sphinx and Kappa Kappa Gamma,
but It Is probable all those will make
satisfactory arrangements ere long.
Tho panels, in each of which aro
three individual photographs, will bo
arranged by colleges, tho LItorary Col
lego coming first, tho Industrial
second, tho Law third, and tho Medi
cal fourth, tho Seniors preceding tho
Juniors in each case. Tho matter of
decoration hero has not been over
looked either.
The cover dos'lgn will bo the work
of P. H. HarrlBon. Tho Senior num
erals will appear in conjunction with
a large half exposed ear of corn. Little
foar need bo folt as to tho effective
ness of tho result hero with tho work
in tho hands of Mr. Harrison. The
book will likely bo bound in part
leather part cloth. Tho editors hopo
to get all tho copy into tho hands of
the printers by the middle of next
month, and since it is estimated that
not mpro than six weeks will be neces
sary :or tno work there, tho book
should bo ready for distribution by the
first of May,
