"To wear, or not to wear (hats)" Is still a perplexing problem to the Fresh men as was shown In another dis turbance caused by the appearance of a Freshman hat on the campus at 11 o'clock yesterday. The combat did not continue as long as the one a week ago, but this was due to the fact that never after the beginning of the melee did any sophomore know where to look for the offending hat, it being safely stowed away In the boot of some first-year man. The skirmish was practically over when. Dean E. W. Davis appeared oil the field and endeavored to stop what was still going on, thus making him' self at. once the center of attraction. As the excited crowd gathered about him, eagerly clamoring for a speech, ho made several attempts to admonish the crowd, but failing to make him self heard, withdrew, after which the combatants dispersed of their own ac cord. Y. W. Expedition. All glrlB expecting to go with the party to Mrs. W. J. Byan's home to morrow afternoon are urged to be at the XJnlverslty campus promptly at 2 o'clock, and looking their prettiest.

O April 27th 1 ADMISSION 50 CENTS SEVERE ACCIDENT. Explosion In Chemistry Laboratory Injures Three. Yesterday afternoon whilo dissolv ing some solid potassium hydrate in tho laboratory of tho Analytic Chem istry department, G. b. Pitchford and those about him at tho time lie was working tho experiment narrowly es caped serious injury as a result of an explosion. Several people's oyos woro filled with the chemical and it was feared for a time that some might have suffered the loss of sight. Others suffering were Luther Knight, H. D. Young and Miss FosBlor, tho instruc tor. The attention of those Working in the laboratory at tho time was at tracted by a Jet of white liquid rising to the ceiling from the vial over which Mr. Pitchford was working, and the next moment a rather violent explosion occurred, scattering tho hydrate over tho whole north end of tho room. The faces of those near tho bursting flask were covered with tho material and considerable of it got into their eyes, Miss Fossler and Mr. Pitchford suf fering particularly in this respect. Mr. Knight suffered from tho bit of glass that lodged in his eye, while Mr. Young, having the presence of mind to throw his face forward, mere ly had his hair filled with the chem ical. Oil was applied to the burnt faces of those Injured at the direction of Dr. Avery, who had come In at hearing the commotion, and a doctor was summoned. The sufferers were soon relieved. At last report it was stated that none would realize any serious effects of tho experience, slnco tho hydrate did not burn deeply Into their eyes. Miss Fossler suffered the most severely in this respect. Tho cause of the explosion was not duo to tho nature of the chemical, but to tho fact that not sufficient outlet was allowed for tho . escape of tho steam inside the flask. The contents of the. vial became superheated and burst out simply for this reason. O O 00000000000 O 00000OOpOOOOO THESE 8TUDENT8 SECURE CORN HU8KER P08ITION8.
