A copy of the minutes of the meeting was sent to the Nebraska Athleliu Board with a strong invitation to join the Conference.

Snowmd Slush last Saturday even ing could not dampen the enthusiasm of the Y. W. and Y. M. Cabinets, who carried out all the details of the com mittee's, mysteriously planned pro gressive dinner. , At six o'clock about thirty-five young people assembled at the University Y. W. rooms to be formed into ranks and marched away somewhere, the destination not ex actly knwon, but a hope pervading all minds that they would find "festnl dainties spread" at some safe haven or other. Florence Parmalee and Le3lie Hlg glns, chairmen of the two committees, led the long column thru the "sludgy, squdgy". street to the city Y. M. C. A. rooms, where the first course of the dinner consisted of delicious hot soup. From this aggravating appeti zer th'ey were marched to the home of Mrs. Kimball on 18th and G, where they wore treated to a royal feed that appeased tho appetites of the pedes trians. Somewhat less zealous, but still in a cheerful mood, they marched to the home of Mrs. ZImner on 17th and L where another festal spread greeted them. Again they partook with what ardour there still remained, and then slowly plodded back to tho city Y. M. C. A. w"here desert was served. After this the brigade dtabanded and each chose his own way homeward, thoroly tired and thoroly pacified, Tho affair was novel in. every respect, and all agree that the committees desrve praise for their ingenuity.
