ING RELAY EVENT. CAPTAINIREID MAKES OREAT RACE May Gets First In the Hundred and Russe Places lriHurdles, Vault ' and High Jump. Nebraska took the annual dual track meet from Kansas last Saturday by a score of 62 to 48. There were several surprises and both the Jayhawkere and the CornhuBkers failed to' take places for whleh they were doped. In the sprints the southerners wcro un able to take a first, but In tho two mile took both places and got first In the mile. By a plucky sprint In the labt few yards Becker camo in for a second in the half mile, with Anderson in the lead. The same feat was repeated by - Amberson In tho quarter. The first real surprise came when Anderson was unable to pass Watson In the mile and secured only a second. This was largely due to the strenuous half which tho Nebraskan had run a short time before. Collins Takes Seconds. It seemed to bo Collins' oft day, and , he was unable to come up to his UBual form In cither the discus or the shot put. securing a second in both. In the low hurdles both Kansas men fell and allowed Power to win with compara tive ease. It was not expected that Russell would .be able to take tho high hurdles, but he ran a close sec ond. Tho most exciting event was the relay. If Nebraska Bhould win the meet was a sure thing, and the spec tators went wlid. Pairchllds gained a Utlo on Gibson and tho long-legged k ' ' Gribble secured a lead of fifty feet. AmberBon cut this down by a sprint at the finiBh and Black was off with a good Btart over Captain Reed. The latter ran his usual heady race and crowded his opponent into the curb ing for three-fourths of .the, wTJ around, when he passed him and reach: ' tho tape with five feet to sparo. The wind kept tho time down and no records were broken. Osborne of Kansas ran the two-mile in less than the Nebraska record. Tho results fol low.

Single holidays, half holidays, and other major periods of time during which classes are to bo dismissed shall be distributed for the academic year among the days of a week with as much fairness as possiblo to the classes involving 2, 3 and 5 hours groupings. All such periods shall be granted only by tho university senate except that on extraordinary occa sions the committee on convocations may call a special convocation or rally subject to tho approval of the chnn collor. Eleven to twelve on Tuesdays and Thursdays aro to bo kept open, and rallies, class meetings, etc., nre to be scheduled for these hours, so far as possible. No class lectures or recita tions will be scheduled for these pe riods. Tho registrar before or early in each Bomcstcr shall furnish each officer of instruction with a bulletin calendar showing especially all holi days, half-holidays, rally periods, and other determinable periods of time wherein classes are to be dismissed. After September 1, 1911, sessions of olnes work of tho second semester shall hold regularly until 6:00 p. in. Tuesday of commenceriiont week. Somestral or examinations in any semester, If held, shall be during the last regular class sessions. Two weekB before any day on which for each semester the faculties meet for the recommendation of candidates for degrees, officers of Instruction are required to report to the registrar the standing of all senior candidates for degrees at tho close of the semester. Standings are to bo based on bucIi ex aminations given at this time as may be deemed necessary to make definite and proper report. Full attendance until the close of the semester is required of all seniors and thp final standings reported are subject to the ruie that each une'x cused absence In any semester may, In the discretion of the Instructor, de duct three points from the final grade. Tho (purpose of rules 1 and 2 is not to diminish the customary number of holidays, rallies, student meetings, etc., but to so apportion them that the periods of no one clasB or group of classes shall be disproportionately diminished. Heretofore, It has been found, certain periods on certain days have been unduly favored Tor recesses, seriously discommoding the work scheduled for these hours., Rule 2 pro vides for two open hours weekly upon distance 37 feet, 4& Inches; Collins, Nobraaka, second, 37 feet 2 Inches. Broad Jump Wilson, Kansas, first, distance, 20 feet t Inch; Munson, Ne braska, second, 19 feet, 9 Inches. Notice. Seniors aro notlflod for the last time that commencement Invitations must be ordered today. TIUb Is the last day In which orders will bo taken as. the ordor for the printing has to be sent in immediately. Orders will be taken at tho library all day Tuesday. H. O. CUSACK. TO GLASS STANDI! which, It Is expected, ralllos, class meetings, and special assemblies of any sort, will bo customarily hold. No classes (lectures or recitations) will bo scheduled at these hours, although It will bo necessary to keep open mnny laboratories during these periods, ow ing to tho demand on laboratory ac commodations, Rule 3 irrovldes for tho formal prep aration and disseminutlon of schedules in advance, to be placed in the hands of the teaching force, so that each In structor may accommodate his semes ter's work to tho general schedule. It is recognized that not all recesses can be foreseen, and It Is to provido for tho special occasion that tho rider Is attached to rule 1, placing tho grant ing of each special recess In the hands of the ohnneellor and tho com mittee on convocations. The object of rule 4 Is to place all examinations on tho same footing as mid-Semester examinations and or dinary tests. After tho close of tho present semester, there will be no for mal examination week as heretofore, each Instructor giving such examina tions ns he sees fit In the courso of the tegular class sessions. It Is rocog nlzed that most of these will' fall In tho last sessions of the semester, but It s not contemplated that this shall In any degree affect other classes or other class work. Tho general effect of this rule, so far as tho student Is concerned, will bo to throw mord. weight upon clasB work and loss upon examinations in tho determination of Ills standing. Rule 5 adapts this system to tho case of seniors. Two weeks before tho semester closes nil seniors' stand, lngs will be placed in the hands of the registrar, subject to the deduction of three per cent for each absence from class, without adequate excuse, during the last two weeks. This means, of course, that a senior near the danger mark will fall of his degree If his class work soriously lapses during this pe riod. The now system will Involve some modifications of tho prcsont registra tion system. Accordingly tho senate passed a resolution requesting the chancellor to appoint a committee to consider the problem involved In ad-' vising and reglsterlg students. This committee 1b expected to report early In the autumn. ' - The general effect of these ruleB will bo to lengthen tie school year, by Increasing the actual number of ses sion days and session periods, with out altering the time of opening and' the time of closing. It will also ob viate the usual loss of time just pre-' vlous to the June commencement; classes hpldlng until Alumni Hay.

Tho athletic board olcctlon yester day will pass into history as tho most qufet cumpnign ever conducted nt No broBka. Tim usual mud-allnglng which has been much in ovidenco during tho InBt few years was entirely dispensed with and a moBt friendly spirit exist od throughout tho day.

Jn the afternoon tho Interest holghtonod and a modorntoly large numbor of bnl Jots were cast, although many who wero cllglblo did not avail themselves of tho opportunity to vote.
