The Board of Regents yesterday

loaning of money from the students'
loan fund to needy students. Informa
tion concerning the application blank
may be gained from Professor Chat
burn: 1. The student loan fund shall con
sist of the donations received for the
benefit of students of the University
of Nebraska from Mr. J. It. Webster,
Omaha; Dr. J. A. L. Waddell, Kansas
City, Mo.; Hon. W. G. Whitmore, Val
ley, and such other funds as may
hereafter bo donated for the purpose,
together with the accrued interest
from the loaning of said fund. This
fund is in the custody of the Regents
of the University for the benefit of
the students, but is not to be regarded
as a part of the University's resources.
2. Loans shall bo made to students
from the fund in accordance with the
wishes of the several donors and in
accordance with the rules and regula

committee and approved by the Board
of Regents for the administration of
tho same.

out ho favprable endorsement of tho
entire committee and the Chancellor
upon each blank.
5. The committee, before granting
any loan, must be thoroughly con
vinced of the student's real need for
assistance; and it will, moreover, be
considered a ground for the refusal
of the. application if it is found that
it is made, as a matter of convenience
to avoid the necessity of earnest ef
fort on the part of the applicant to
obtain tho necessary money from rela
tlves and friends.
G. In making loans the oommittee
will take Into account the moral char
actor of the applicant, his habits for
temperance and industry, and his
assiduity and success in his studies.
7. Applicants belonging to upper
classes 'will be given preference and
np loan will bo made to a student who
has not been matriculated at least one
year. Likewise preference will be
given to thoBe who have not formed

"Jerry" Warner, for tho past two
years the unanimous selection for All
Missouri Valley quarterback, was
elected to captain the 1912 Corn
husker football team without a dis
senting vote.
Every one of the sixteen honor let
ter men was strongly in favor of the
nifty little field general, and this sen
timent is as unanimous throughout tho
student body.
"Jerry" has played stellar football

as leader for next fall 14 thought to
prestige evor greater advances in
Comhusker football triumphs.
Board Pleased.
At the athletic board meeting tho
selection of Warner as captain was

no better choice made in the matter
and Warner would lead a team on the
field as good or better than tho vic
torious eleven of this year.
Gold footballs were voted to the
sixteen men who made tho "N," and
as a reward for good conduct the en
tiro team was allowed to go to tho

condition. In addition, Coaches

Tho campus has been bombarded.
The Military Ball committee got
busy yesterday and, in the woe small
hours of the morning, hauled a cannon
on to the campus to use as a sign
board. This same cannon, which be
longs to tho United States govern
ment and is a part of the ordnance
outfit of Company F, stood on the
campus all day Tuesday.
A sign tied to tho cannon explained
that it was only placed there as an
advertisement for the big three-dollar
dance. At tho Convocation hour the
old relic was the center of interest
The Daily Nebraskan reporter, who at
tempted to run down some sort of a
romantic life history of the cannon,
was disappointed to find that Chair
man, Newman and Master-of-Core-monies
Van Duson were delinquent in
their research work In this particular
branch of history.
The cannon, it is understood, will
remain on the campus all, day today
and possibly Thursday. It is mounted

One man yesterday throw away all his
cents and remarked, "If Chairman
