LARGEST PARADE OF UNI
HISTORY TO BE HELD
"COMPANY QM SANCTIONED
" UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.
THE PARADE TO LACK ROWDYISM
Committee of Upper Classmen
and Cadet Officers Give Chan
cellor Their Word that the
Parade Will Be Orderly.
The students of the University
of Nebraska aro to have the an
nual "shirt-tail" parade. This
was the announcement made from
the chancellor's office yesterday.
The parade though is to be under
certain restrictions. These re
strictions are of a nature which
any fair-minded student of the
university will comply with and
the annual parade of "Company
Q" is to be an affair of order
and lacking in roughness.
After the parade last year, in
which about five hundred stu
dents of the university partici
pated, considerable comment was
made over the actions of many of
the students and the large amount
of roughness which marked the
path of the paradors. An an
nouncement was made 'shortly af
terwards from the executive of
fiee of the university that parades
of this nature would not be al
lowed m the future at the uni
versity. This announcement caused the
student body to feel that it had
been deprived of ono of its oldest
customs, and the students of the
university felt that if there was
spme means by which they could
impair the damage that they had
done that perhaps the custom of
the "Company Q" parade would
not be abolished. The matter
has been under discussion for
some time and last night a settle
ment of the matter in question
was reached.
A committee of the students
conferred with the chancellor in
regard to the matter and it was
decided that the parade would
fohcld at the university under
h rnt "i
:tain conditions, xnese conai-
were as follows: First, that
rowdyism and roughness
Wch have characterized somo of
c parades in the past would not
tolerated: second, that tho
irade would be in charge of tho
dot 'captains of tho various
lpanies of the first battalion;
lird, that tho students after
icrabling at the armory would
irch down town and, after the
jrade through the streets -had
m concluded they would re-
m to the athletic field, where
program of special stunts
luld be given.
"hese conditions under which
mission was granted allow the
dents to hold this annual
frifde of all the men of the uni
rmty. All tho men of tho in-
tution are to participate in the
lebration at the close of the
ipetitive drill, 'which will 'bo
Id next Thursday aftcrnpon.
ALLY
-l.
3. "
Every male student of tho school
is oxpected to participate and
make this one of the largest
parades that has over been hold
at the university.
Tho captain of tho winning
company will lead the parade and
the captains of the various com
panies as well as several of tho
prominent upper classmen have
given their word that the parade
will be orderly in every respect
and that all "rowdyism and rough
ness will be "cut out." Then
also a now feature of the parade
iwill be that all the students of
the school will participate. Pre
vious to this time the crowd has
been made up as a rule of fresh
men and sophomores, and With
no one to lead thorn they have
committed many indiscreet acts
and thus given to this goncral jol
lification a reputation which has
caused so much criticism to bo
brought down upon itr Another
feature will bo the return to the
athletic field, where some stunts
of an entirely new nature will bo
"put on," and in this way tho
student body can hold this event
and thus avoid the former criti
cism. This plan as outlined by the
chancellor and tho committee of
upper classmen and cadet officers
will in all respects meet the ap
proval of any fair-minded student
and thus restore to, the univer
sity one of its most sacred cus
toms and at the same time - in
crease the former spirit with
which the annual parade was
founded.

Professor of Rhetoric to Go to
Minnesota.
Daniol Ford, assistant profes
sor of rhetoric at the University
of Nebraska, has resigned his po
sition to accept that of udjunct
professor of rhetoric at Minne
sota. Such was the statement
given out from the department
last evening.
Professor Ford is a graduate
of Dartmouth and has ' been at
the University of Nebraska sinco
1905. lie has only shortly recov
ered" from a long siege of typhoid
fever, which kept him from his
work in the university during n
great part of the first semester.
Tie is univorsallyTiked at Ne
braska, and his going will be felt
as a loss both by the student body
and the" faculty. The rumor that
a member of the faculty was
about to leave had been circu
lating" about the campus for sev
eral days, 'but nothing definite
was disclosed until yesterday,
when the resignation of Mr. Ford
was made public.

MINNESOTA TRACK
- TEAM HERE FRIDAY
STRONGEST TRACK TEAM IN
WEST TO MEET CORN-
HUSKERS.
AMES WILl PLAY THE SAME DAY
Athlotic Field Will Bo Sceno of
Activities Friday Afternoon
May. Be Half Holiday Ne
braska Records Expected
to Bo Broken.
The track team is hard at
work again. -The mon aro now
preparing to ,cuter the meet with
Minnesota next Friday. After
the glorious victory over Kansas
last Saturday, tho men are im
bued with true Nebraska spirit
and desire to mako tho best pos
sible shoeing against Minnesota.
There is no denying the fact
that the Victory over Kansas was
a great ono. The Kansas team is
composed of experienced men,
men who have appeared in a
number -of big meets previous to
this year. Tho Cornhuskcrs did
not expect to win, but thoy wcro
determined to do their best. They
did and they won. Although
there jware djily throe old men on
the teanr and one of them was in
poor condition, a showing of Ne
braska spirit that has seldom
been equaled proved the undoing
of the Jay hawkers.
Wo have a right to feel proud
of this year's track team We
know that the coach has been
laboring under difficulties, that
the material is all new, and that
"practice was not started until
lalo in the season; but wo also
know that every man on the "team
is a fighter and that true spirit
and pluck will to a certain ex'
tont make up for a, lack of ex
perience. Minnesota Strong.
In the meeting with Minnesota
Saturday tho Cornhuskcrs will
meet one of the strongest, if not
tho strongest, track team in the
M'cst, Never in the history of
tho Gopher institution has she
been represented by such a form
idable aggregation of track and
field stars. This is the second
year' that Grant has coached tho
Minnesota team, and the results
of this year's meet show the ef
fectiveness of his work. The Go
phers met Wisconsin . .Saturday
arid made some records that are
better than have ever been made
at Nebraska.
At the- present time Nebraslca
is doped to win first in four
evonts. - Those are the high jump,
polo vault, 'broad jump and ham
mer, throw, Minnesota is doped
to win tho 100-yard and 220-yard
dashes, tho railo run, the hhlf
mile run and the shot put." Tho
itlie events aro in doubt, with
the .odds in favor of Minnesota.
Best Ever. .
The meet "Friday will be one
pf the best that has over been
held at Nebraska. Several uni'
versity records are expected to
be broken, and the meet will be
'- -fck
much closor than tho dopo indi-
cates that tho attendance will be
large.
Ames and Nebraska will play
bascfall Friday, which game will
be another attraction of the af
ternoon. The game will be called
at 1 o'clock so that it will not in
terfere with tho .track meet. An
effort is being made to induce
tho authorities to declare Friday
afternoon a half holiday.
