Each of these schools would in turn send a member of Its faculty to Lincoln to speak to tho Nebraska students. By exchanging with each other, all of tho schools would hoar ono man from all tho othqr faculties. "AG." CLUB MEET8. 8tudent8 Tell of Summer Experiences' Saturday Evening. The "Ag."

GLEE CLUB ELECT8 OFFICER8. 8later and Keith Are Chosen Presi dent and Vice-president. Officers of tho University of Nebras ka Glee club wero elected last night at a business meeting, hold In yio conservatory. They -are: H. Slater, president; A. F. Keith, vice-president; E. M. Gallagher, secretary; K. Warner, librarian. The executive committeo consists of the following members: C. P. Sturmor, chairman; C. L. Clark, A. Hodgklns. Tho constitution was sq amended as to set tho regular meeting for Tuob- .days, from G to 7' p. m., and Thurs days from 7 to 8 p. m. Tho Gleo club this year lias twenty four members. While the club has scarcely had tlmo to gota good start it gives promise of a most successful season. - , . The trip to' bo taken this year has not boon planned yet, but the execu tive committeo expects to take up this matter, as well as others of impor tance, in the near, future, Slowly, surely, and with a constant forward movement, tho great black hand on tho Y. M. C. A. clock is reg istering tho membership campaign. At six o'clock lttBt night, tho total momborshlp enrollment for Y. M. C. A. Matrlculantes was estimated at 3G0. Taking a proportionate increase as a standard, tho campaign officials fcol cheerful about their established "1000 or bust" goal, and expresB confidence In tho ability of their student cam paigners to "loosen things up" today and make a record breaking solid tu tlon. To Reach 1000 Tonight. To bo satisfied KerKlndorn declares that tho big hand of tho clock must point accurately to the 1000 numcrnl tonight. To many this appears to bo an exceptionally high minimum mem bership, but the same degree of doubtfulness was expressed by out siders last year upon the Inauguration of tho financial campaign. ThlB is the ono groat consolation to the member ship orilistment officials. Under tho direction of Will ForbeB about 150 men are earnestly probing every recess and corner for a possible membership candidate. To obllvate .the probable danger of approaching any Individual twice, and also to has ten tho campaign the officials have adopted the custohfary system of label ing every "victim" with a small, white engraved button.' EWry new member is thereby Initiated as an active solici tor for additional candidates, and stim ulated to secure others by the so called "argument by example" princi ple. Big Feeds To Be Held. Not that a good feed is a sure road to conviction among now students, but merely as a means to an end of creating some real, whole-hearted spirit, the university Y. M. C. A. has undertaken to furnish several of the "pacifiers" to the students this week. The first one occurred Monday even ing, which was considered a big suc cess. Tho second one, which was pulled off last night, was devoted al most exclusively to a comparison of individual efforts to enlist new men, and outline a set plan for today. One of tho significant features about tho feeds and campaign in general is that a largo number of Greek letter men are Interested and have contributed their services and support to the Y. M. C. A. Tho fee for membership to the local organization Is $1.00. A ticket show ing a membership in the local Y. M. C A., however, will bo accepted by all of tho city Y. M. 6.

Tho height of tho oruptlon, as measured from a distant ship, was found to bo soventoon miles. It Is also noted for tho disturbance which it caused. "A largo adjacent areatwas darken ed like sight whllo tho ocean was cov ered with pumlco through which. ships plowed with difficulty on ac count of tho bombardment from hot' rocks and the coming up of load from .tho bottom. Some vessels woro car ried nearly two miles inland by a rush of water that engulfed thirty-six thous and people." Professor "Sweezey explained this phenomena as being produced by a wave eighteen inches high originating in South Africa five thousand miles away. "Sounds woro heard threo thousand miles or nearly across tho Indian ocean," ho said, "at two thousand miles they were mistaken for distress Bignals and search was made for tho missing ship. Tho world's barometers recorded an air wavo which In Bpeod equalled tho velocity of sound, radiat ing from Krakatoa to meet at Its an tipodes near Panama In thirty-six bourse Dust Borne Westward.
