BIG PRIZE ALMOST ASSURED
FACULTY AND 8TUDENrS WJLL
BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE.
Effort to Have a Genuine Nebraska
Song Different From All Others
At Last Likely To Be Car-
To a Successful Finish.
University professors aro solidly be
hind the movoment for a new univer
sity song, if the Interviews obtained
from 11 representative number of the
faculty are wortli anything. Every
professor questioned admitted that ho
believed tho idea to be a good one and
In only one caso was there any fault
to be found with tho idea of tho pro
moters to glvo a big prlzo as a stimu
lus to the school's writers.
Some fifteen professors wore inter
viewed on the song matter. They rep
resented all sections of tho universi
ty and their opinion is regarded as
being a- fair indication of that of tho
university faculty in general. Those
professors agreed with, the charge
of the song promoters that the Uni
versity of Nebraska is in need of a
typical Cornhusker song. They saw
as well as the students the figure that
Nebraska cuts in having her official
song a mere parody on that of an
eastern institution.
Above Prize Idea.
Not only did the professors approve
of the general proposition, but they
nlso gave their 'approbation to tho
proosal of the. song promoters that
a "big prize bo raised to encourage com
petitive offers of vorscB and music.
One faculty member did not agree
with the idea in all its details but
tho rest wyero enthusiastic in their
belief that the offer of a prlzo running
up into tho .hundred of dollars would
stimulate effort as no other one thing
could.
The plan now is to raise a fund of
about $400 to bo given as prizes for
the composition and verses. Two
hundred and iifty dollars of this
amount would bo rasided among tho
amount would bo raised among tho
tr the plan as now roughly outlined
The remaining $lc0 tho promoters
hope to raise among the members
of tho faculty. Each of tho oloven
fraternities and the nine sororities in
school would bo asked" to donate a
snmH amount. Othor societies, in
cluding .Honorary and professional or
ganizations, would bo ilkowlso given
an opportunity to aid in providing" Ne
braska with, a new" song. ' Whatever
amount thon remained to bo raised
would be sought from . the' student
body in Individual contributions from
loyal students. ' k !;?,,,
Already Inquiring.
Since. Jtho first , announcement? that
a prize of largo amount would prob
ably be given for a song composition,
thp Nbraskan office has been ma'do
the object or numerous Inquiries as to
the nature of tho offer and the regu
lations governing its award. No def
inite announcement has yet been
-made as to these particulars nor wfil,

university of
track," said one of tho t professors
interviewed. "Nebraska Is no longer
a baby Institution. It is a full-grown
university and It should tako on tho
outer appearance bofltting its char
acter. It would not need to take a
parody on a tradition of another uni
versity for what should bo ono of Its
moBt coveted personal possessions.
NO, song which is a parody upon that
of another school can really give to
Nebraska tho Independent charactor
which she should tako in her outer
emblems as well as In hor real bo
ing. "This being so, I am heartily glad
to see tho song movement started in
so energetic a manner. I bellevo that
the prize idea is tho right way In
which to got a song that will bo
worthy of tho school. It is fitting,
too, that the composition should be
the product of a Nebraska student.
That is eminently proper."

A now ruling of the lntor-fratornlty
board Is to the effect that no gamo
can bo iJostponed this season for any
cause excepting, rain or wot grounds.
Tills rule means that every gamo this
year will have to bo played whether
a fraternity ,1b ready or not, Just so
long as tho weather permits. This
regulation was made in order to keep
any .member of the lertguo,,from. post
poning a gamo until some of its men
should got in shape to play or for any
other senseloss. reason. .r ,-,,
A committee of three men will bo

layed by rain.

By tho rulos of. tho board each team
Is still rcqulrod to furnish a now ball

It is being planned to play tho
games this season at either Antolopo
park or tlio Vino streot grounds. If
too high a pflco Is not nskod by Man
ager Green for his league grounds
tho contests will bo hold there, for
thnt is by far the host placo In the
city for baaobftll games.
If Antolopo park can not bo so
cured, however, tho Greeks will bo
forced to use the Vino streot lot as
the noxt best placo. An attempt will
bo mado to got 11 lease on that ground
for tho spring. If this can bo done
tho diamond -will bo scraped and put
in condition for pretty fast ball play
ing. An advantngo which tho Vino streot
lot will glvo tho Greeks will bo tho
use that can bo mado of It for prac
tice. It is only a short dlstauco from
a 'majority of tho fratornlty houses
and It will require only a short time
for moat of the Greeks to trot out
to tho lot for practice.
