The Dally News of'Grand Junction, C61o., has the following Item about a former Nebraska boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Page, who lived at Syra cubo for many years: "John Pago leaves this morning for Ithaca, N. Y where he will enter Cornell university where ho will Becuro his. degree In civil engineering. Mr. Pago Is-a grad uate of Nebraska university and only very recently received notice thai ho had passed with credit tho examina tion for junior engineer with tho United States reclamtlon service. Mr. Page Is very well known In this city and has. mariy friends who wish him success in his work In Cornell' ENGINEERS NAME STURMER BEATRICE MAN A CANDIDATE IN THE 8ENI0R CLA88. LLOYD WILL NOT BE IN THE RACE RAYMOND AND STURMER THE ONLY MEN ANNOUNCED. Politics In the Other Classes Quiet Bates and 8ears Will Probably Be Out In the Junior and Sophomore Classes. Yesterday was a day of activity among the politicians of the senior clnss. A. R. Raymond now has one opposing candidate. F. ('. Sturmer ol Beatrice has announced his candidacy for president of tho fourth year class. ,Ho was enthusiastically endorsed by tho senior engineering class at iter meeting on Tuesday evening. Har mony prevailed at the engineers' meeting, no other candidates attempt ing to sldotruck Stunner. Lloyd Not a Candidate. With the announcement that L. L. Lloyd willnot enter the race, and the assurance of tho candidacy of Stur mer, politics In tho senior class at least havo taken on a real active form. The two candidates havo both begun vigorous campaigns, aside from the boosting which Is bolng done by their personal friends. Both men are prominent in school affairs, and have been from the first time they entered the campus until the dny of their an nouncements. Neither of the men are members of any of the regular Greek letter fraternities. Raymond Is a member of Phi Alpha Tau, an organi zation of debaters. Both are barbB and number many of their staunchost friends among fraternity men. Raymond has boon prominent both in clnss politics and debating. His, homo is at Fairmont. Ho will draw support from members of Phi Alpha Tau and tho Union Literary society. Tho Beatrice man, Sturmer, will re ceive largo support from the engineers and law students and will probably be given nb small boom. Sturmer Is a member of tho Engineering .society, and has been librarian In the law school. Ho has also been one of the hardest working men on "King" Cole's squad for the past three years." Other Classes Quiet. Politics In the1 lower classes are as yet in the embryo stage. Verne Bates will probably announce his can didacy within a few days for the lead- lngofIice Trthe junior classmnd Car roll Sears may do- likewise In the sophomore class. As yet, nelthe'r man has any opposition. While neither Bates nor Sears have definitely stated that it was their intention to run, it Is generally understood that both men are sounding their frlomls and meet ing with a grent deal of encourage ment. t The freshmen continue their silence regarding political dope, but It is thought that something will "pop" soon alter the mass meeting of fresh men boys today In Memorial hall, At that meeting the men will have a good opportunity to get acquainted, -know just who belongs to the class. t There will undoubtedly be one .candidate from Omaha, in fact "Dame Rump'; has It that this man has already been picked and Is only holding back' tfitil some opponent gets 'into the field. Freshmen candidates may be an nounced any day. Mlzera Is the only man In the race, at present, -for the honors la tthe Junior lw clas. Hi'Jkallsfrm Mew Bluff. Mlzora Ib said to bo very pop ular.

FOR ALL EORNER RECORDS ARE BROKEN 8CARCITY OF CLASSROOM BIG PROBLEM. IS A Unexpected Registration In 'Classes Which Have Been Small Here tofore Few Changes.

This year's sched ulethough considered a wonderful pic of work, even aftor its selection, failed In that conflicts havo arisen n rogard to rooms. This condition- has been brought on by oxtremoly large enrollments in classes whore such had not been contemplated; con sequently the necessity of creating smaller sections with out rooms for recitation.

Such n dilemma will probably causae one variety of compulsory registra tion in the casoof freshmen students majoring in the department of politi cal economy, in' which donartmeat coursoIn-lDolitlcfllflconomv. 1 -fcaa been flooded with students, there be- , lng almost eighty enrolled in the class. This has necessitated the re moval of many freshmen students to other courses in tho. department and the temporary nullification of some of the prerequisites of the other courses. The registration officials have an nounced thatnhe change of schedules this year has been exceptionally light when compared with statistics of pre vious years. They attribute thh cor rection Jn the system of registration 'almost entirely to the manifest effi ciency of the engineering and assign ment committees. - Northwestern.
