8opHxm'ore Pot Begins to Boil, but Nb
Candidates Are Announced Soph
omore Meeting Today.
Interest In tho senior election was
revived' Tuesday "mOrnlng when tho
campaign between A. B. Amberson and
H. $. Hathaway was changed Into a
three-cornered fight with the entrance
of Yalo Hollahg of Lincoln.
His participation In the contest In
tho senior1 elate was announced Tues
day morning after a meeting of tho
members of the senior law class, when
the political situation was. reviewed,
and tho class, decided to support Hoi
land and run him as tho senior law
candidate. Ho had no idea of running
until' tho class literally forced him into
tho race.
Tho support of the laws for Holland
splits tho race now, and neither can
didate knows exactly what his chanceB
are. Amborson has the support of the
senior engineers, and Hathaway many
of tho fraternity "men' and soTorlty
girls, Holland is expected to take
many votes here, as he is also a fra
ternity man, being a member of Sigma
Chi fraternity. Ho is a six year law
student, having received his A. B.
degree in 1909. He has always been
prominent in clasB affairs, and the en
tire campaign in the senior class now
takes on a new appearance.
The Junior Contest.
The race in the junior class between
EL B. Pearse and D. M. Rogers has
taken on a definite shape with friends
of both candidates working hard.
It was announced yesterday that
Pearse was a member of Sigma Nu fra
ternity. This was a typographical
error. Mr. Pearse Is a member of Sig
ma Tau, the honorary engineering fra
ternity. Soph Bee Is Buzzing.
Tho political situation in the sopho
more class has not yet become excit
ing. Several strong men aro reported
to he considering the race. They are
said to have their affections turned
toward the presidential chair, and no
doubt a very few days will see the
rise of the political suns, moons and
stars' of the second year class.
The date for the second year class
election will be set at the meeting to
morrow. An attempt will he inado to
get the campaign out of the way be
fore examination week. This attempt
will be made because some leading
politicians have expressed themselves
as opposed to any sort of labor during
this week of mental agony.
8ophomore Meeting.
A challenge from the University of
Omaha will be read at the sophomore
clasB meeting on Thursday morning.
The direct content of this mysterious
challenge has not been made public,
and there is no small, amount of curi
osity displayed as to Just what the
challenge Is for. The meeting will bo
held Thursday morning at 11:30 In
Memorial hall.
'President Sears has announced that
all committee cralrmen should be on

which the class has entrusted them.

OR SOUND DOOM OF ATHLETICS
T
Editor of the Daijy Nebroskan;
To say that' the "students aro
gloomy" In regard to the recent ac
tion of the Missouri Vajley confer
ence is Indeed underestimating
their attitude. Ever since tho abo
lition of summer baseball was an
nounced the student body, especi
ally those interested in tho national
game, have been enraged over
what they consider an act of sheer
"mollycoddlelsm."
Do we want to abolish baseball
at Nebraska? Most certainly no!
Well that Is exactly what wo will
have to do if wo abide by that
beautiful rule adopted at Des
Moines. We might bo able to play
"oiie-old-cat" with Kansas or Ames,
but when It comes to real baseball
it will be a thing of the past.
Any man who is goo'd enough to
make a NobraWta baseball team
has played on some team where
admission was charged to boo them
play.
So at' Nebraska we are on' two
horns of the dilemma. Either wo1
havo a poot class of baseball or no
TOSobairat alir Thus dither way
we turn wo aro mot with tho same
sad feeling that baseball 1b a dead
proposition at Nebraska.
In yesterday's NebraBkan you
ask ub to give the now rule a trial.
In other wordB you ask the stu
dents of Nebraska to givo up base
ball. By the same logic you will
soon aBk us to simply alt around
and watch some idealists kill other1
athletics.
I believe that the action of tho
Missouri Valley conference especi
ally in relation to summer baseball,
should be demanded or Nebraska
should step out of tho Missouri
Valley conference. Tho student
body will not see othletics die at
Nebraska.

8UPT. CRABTREE SPEAKS.
Discusses Future Education at Convo
cation Tuesday.
J. W. Crabtree, state superinten
dent of instruction, spoke briefly at
convocation Tuesdaty monrlnjg. He
compared tho work of the students in
tho high schools of today with what
ho hopes to see developed in the
future. He stated that the aim of the
secondary schools would bo to de
velop men and women of the future
for service. That they would 'not be
trained for business, for the farm, or
for professional work will be the new
Idea, but that education would bring
them into a sphere of usefulness
which would bo a broader aim than
they had at the present time. This
aim would affect the courses taught in
tho secondary schools to the extent
that more industrial would would be
installed, such as manual training and
domestic science, and in this way the
schools would have a broader founda
tion for the work of the university.
BADLY FRIGHTENED.
Elmer Dill Faints When Called Upon
to Recite.
When called before the class to lead
In the discussion Elmer Dill became
frightened and fainted Tuesday morn
ing. Professor Caldwell had noticed
that Dill was unnerved and was stand
ing nearby. The professor rushed to
his assistance and caught the uncon
scious student in his arms as Dill was
falling backwards to the floor.
The diminutive professor was nearly
overbalanced, but was relieved of his
burden by Harmon, the big football
guard, who carried Dill into the .office
and assisted -in restoring him to con
BclousnoBB. The Incident created con
siderable excitement among the stu
dents. Dill soon recovered from the
faint and at noon felt none the worse

Services for Nebraska.
The announcement of General Dud
ley's death was Indeed a shock to tbo
older class of Nebraska studonts. No
individual man probably played a,larg
or part in tho formation of early Ne
braska history than did General Dud
ley. It was ho who established the
first foundation for the Unlverslt yof
Nebraska military science department,
and put it on a piano upon which to
-grow-and-exjtend-to-its-present-flour
lBhlng condition.
Tho details of General Dudley's ser
vice for tho university in this regard
are remarkably interesting. How ho
Implored the state legislature to ap
propriate funds for tbo erection of
Grant memorial hall; how he attempt
ed to establish the military depart
ment in direct opposition to many pro
fessors and faculty mombers; how he
worked for the installation of uni
form drill suits f6r the cadets; and
how he labored with tho students and
endured their disrespectful attitude
and insolence then a source of much
genuine pride aro all portlnent facts
regarding tho general's career at the
University of Nebraska.
General Dudley was also a man of
literary attainments. Some of his ef
forts along this line are especially
noteworthy to Nebraska studonts be
cause of their historical Interest. His
compilation and edition of civil war
records, which were stored In the
state house basement, was a valuable
service to the state as well as the uni
versity. He edited a small volume
containing accounts of Nebraska men
in thq war of the rebellion, the records
of which are still a source of useful
Information to Nebraskans. He- also
completed several books on military
law, and at tho time of his death was
contemplating the edition of a com
plete history of tho formation of the
I military department of the university.
General Dudley served two terms as
commandant at Nebraska.
The death' of the former comman
dant will bo mourned by many of the
older Llncolnites. While in Lincoln
he developed an extensive friendship,
and was it not for a particular coterie
of friends who stood by him, its ef
forts to, form the Nebraska military
department would probably have
failed temporarily. He was a prom
inent Mason, and founded the Scottish
rite in Lincoln. He was always ac
tive in church circles while In this
dty, being a vestryman In Holy Trin
ity church. He will be buried at
