Eaton, humorist, and the hoard or re
Ken tH will be the guests of the Ne

lor Samuel Avery on April 13 at the
Lindell hotel. These men have ac
cepted the invitations of the Greek
letter men to lo honor to Nebraska's
IKjpular chancellor in the first annual
banquet that the local societies have
conducted.
One idea has been paramount in
the minds of the fraternity men in ar
ranging this banquet that of making
the chancollor and the state feel that
the Greek letter societies of this state
institution lire a power for good and
that they feel a deep gratitude toward
Samuel Avery for the Arm hand e
has UBed in conducting affairs of the
University of Nebraska.
Working for New Spirit.
The Greeks -wish to bring together
every faction In the university that
this school nia become a greater
power In the educational circles of
the country, and that it may secure a
spirit of fair play a spirit which will
result in establishing Nebraska as the
leader In athletics and all branches of
endeavor in this section of the coun
try. Just because there is aJine of dis
tinguished men who will speak in re
snonso to the call for toasts, is no
uiirn this Imnnuet. is Koing to bo a sol7
emn occasion. On tho contrary, it is
going to bo a time for Jollification,
when all good fellows will get to
gether and have a big time.
The toasts will be limited to ten
minutes each. Tho subject matter of
each speech will be of vital interest
to every man in the university and it
will be put forth in a manner mai
will please every man who is present.
At this vital moment in the affairs
of the university, when more money Is
needed for jts professors, Us colleges,
and its maintenance, there can be no
doubt that Governor Shallenberger
will say something that every person
interested In the university will bo
eager to hear.
It will ho interesting matter that
the chancollor will have to speak on
for tho benefit of tho fraternity men.
Ho Is riot a fraternity man himself,
but he has come in close contact with
", " the Greeks of this school during the
' past year, and ho will say things that
ought to bo hoard by every fraternity
-studenL
W. E. Hardy, who is to he the toast
master, is an alumnus of sigma Chi,
and is one of tho most active alumni
fraternity men in this section of tho
country. Ho is "next" to the affairs
of tho Greeks in this school. Ho has
a message from the fraternities that
will contain several meaty bones. He
takes the broad view of fraternity life.
Dr. Lees Has a Good, Word.
Dr, Lees, whose faithful work in tho
interfratornlty council has made him a
popular man with every one whom ho
has had dealings, will have just a few
tilings to say, but ho wTil put thorn
forth in a sincere manner. Ho has
"been a, father to the Greeks' of tills
school, and his words will bo accepted
by tho fraternity men as though they
were uttered by parents. ' v
Superintendent Stephens, Phi Delta
Theta, will tell a few stories regard
ing fraternities of the universities.
He lias some ideas about h'lgh seliool
fraternities that will be worth hear
ing. A member of tho board of regents
will speak for that body, and he will
let the students know what the gvo
ernlng hoarVl of this school, thinks of
the Grccksr -
Then "Bill" Katon, a humorist who
Is crowding George Ado, Chauncer De
Pew, and the other after dinner speak
ers for first place as the most popular
provoker of laughter, will be on hand.
He is funny to look at, but to hear he
is simply Irreslstable.
Several comedy "stunts" have been
arranged to make the evening a joy
ous one. There will be songs of all
kinds popular, university and oper
atic. There are going to be some
good Jokes on somebody, too. The
joke makers will spare no one; nobody
!b too high or too low in -station to
get "his" from tho fun makers on
April 13.
The fraternity men who are in
charge of the banquet will be pleased
to have any suggestions that may be
offered In conducting the affair. Two
committees have been appointed by
the Greeks. "Hap" Haliigan is In
charge of the arrangements, and
Olydo B. Elliott is chairman of tho
committe on toasts and entertainment.
These men will be glad to hear from
any one who has a worthy suggestion.

tators on their feet, nnd Burke won
by a very narrow margin. His princi
pal oppon'enl was NevJtt, running un
der the colors of tho Kansas City Ath
lectlc club. He Is the same Nevitt

ROOSEVELT FOR COLLEGE HEAD
Mlnneapolis Writer Suggests Him as
President of Minnesota U.
- Tlu'odoro-IlQosevolt-for-tho presi
dency of the .Minnesota State Univer
sity! This was tho suggestion made
to Governor Eborhart by a Allnnoap
oils writer. The correspondent makes
a strong case for (he former president
and Is sure that the lion hunter would
ho Just the man to train the husky
Gophers and grapple with all foot
ball and other questions of Import
ance that confront the head of the
great Institutions. He says:
"The question came ttp a short time
ago whether or not any effort had
been made to secure Theodore itooso
volt ns president of the University of
Minnesota. It would seem to us that
$25,000 a year to have him here as
president of the university, Inasmuch
as It would be the greatest advertise
ment that tho university could havo
and would double tho number of stu
dents." St. Paul Dispatch.
