Eighteen days to leap year!!! Just
think of it, boys; just eighteen short
periods of twenty-four hours each un
til ? ? ? Whoops, my dear!
Tho great discovery was disclosed
at a mammoth mass meeting held
Tuesday afternoon on tho campus.
Only girls were admitted and after
tho last co-ed had entered tho doors
were bolted and barred to prevont the
entrance of the masculine olement at
all costs.
However, tho world famed suffrag
otte reporters of tho Daily Nobraskan
were on the scene and so the glad
news is out in spite of the precautions
taken to insure secrecy.
Nothing Overlooked.
A number of plans for taking advan
tage of this great opportunity at the
earliest possible time wero discussed.
Miss suggested that a meeting
of University , men bo called to gather
in the auditorium just before tho be
ginning of tho leap-year eighteen
days from today.
Here all tho co-eds would appear
and, standing in tho balcony, make a
selection, naming the lucky one. Then
a porter would come in and remove
Graft! Displeasure! Unpopularity!
Three words tell the story of condi
tions in the military circles at Ne
braska University. Officers of tho ca
det regiment, who told their men to
be sure to purchase shoes at a cer
tain "best" store, are longing for
peace and some relenting of their ac
tions. The. shoe situation is tho key to tho
trouble. "Wo don't want to bo told
where to buy our stuff and then get
rpuped," said one disgruntled fresh
man last night to a Nebraskan re
porter. "Nolhln' against the military
authorities Jt ain't Yates' fault
either," he went on, "but somo of
those officers go juBt too far."
The freshman stated that tho officer
in command of his company had read
an order before the company one
" night at drill hour telling them that
a certain shoo firm wero tho "only
official" providers of official footgear. I
It seems that a pair of tan shoes pur
chased from that Arm has proven un
satisfactory and the captain has fallen
in the esteem of. one of his men.
Another officer, it is said, detailed
one of his assistants 'to demonstrate
a line of shoes In tho locker room be
fore and after tho drill hour. That
officer is being severely criticised.
tho young man to his future home and
all would end happily.
Object to Plan.
Serious objections to this plan wero
raised by Miss Tailor, who stated that
In her opinion very few of tho strong
er sex would still bo "unspiked" at the
late hour of eloven-thirty on Leap
Year's Eve, and that in her opinion
very few of tho fair ones who did not
have a lirm grip on her choice at the
moment tho clopk strikes, would have
any show at all. After much discus
sion, these objections prevuilcd and
the plan finally decided upon was
brought forward.
"The best possible way to do this,
ut least in my opinion," said Miss
Ritchell, "would bo for each girl to
write a short poem describing her per
sonal beauty, her matrimonial pre
requisites and giving 1ier approximate
age.
These should be mulled to tho pro
spective victims und a personal visit
made early on the morning of the first
day of tho glorious leap year."
After a hot contest, tho second plan
was adopted by a voto of 789 to 7G7,
and a committeq was appointed to soe
that no one broko the rules and
worked overtime.

A plan to place a lunch room in the
Temple was indefinitely postponed by
the Regents at their mooting Tues
day. In speaking of their action,
Chancellor Avery said that tho Re
gents were heartily in favor of tho
plan, but under existing conditions
they thought it unwise to take any
action. All the roomB In tho Temple
are in use now and the building would
have to' be rearranged to make room
for the lunch room,
The Teachers College High School

ters in the future and then tho base

KNICKERBOCKERS BANQUET
NEW YORK 8TUDENTS MEET AT
FESTAL BOARD PRAISE
NEBRASKA.
The first banquet of tho newly
formed Knickerbocker Club of the
University was held last evening at
tho Lindell Hotel. A dozen sons of
the Empire State were present.
Familiar topics and scenes wero
pleasantly recalled. It was decided
that the Knickerbocker 'Club should
In the future help In every possible
way all students from New York who
attend the University and try to get
more to attend this great Institution
of the west, of which too little is
known In the east.
A short business meeting was hold
after the banquet, at which the officers
wore elected.
President Wm. O. Cooloy.
Secretary Ernest H. Graves.
Frldoy's edition of the "Rag", will
undoubtedly contain somo of tho few
really literary features of which tho
publication can boaBt.
Tho roason for this can bo" briefly
stated as follows: the girls are to pub
lish this edition. . ZEho preliminary
work has been kopt a dark secret and
oven tho malo section of tho "Rag"
staff has no idea of what Is to bo per- .
potrated on tho reading public.
Cartoons and helpful suggestions as
to tho conduct of the men on tho
campus will predominate. It is even
rumored that tho unthinking men will
be subjected to severe criticism.
Tho woman's dopartment of tho pa
por haB been working overtime pre-
parjng this number and have promised
somothlng woll worth reading. Tho
contents will be of especial interest
to tho feminine sex, for this very
reason tho men will probably devour
tho paper whole.
Not to bo outdone in the effort to
mako this Issue n howling success, tho
business management has suddenly
becomo magnanimous. Believing that
every girl in tho University should
have a. copy of UiIb issue they havo
arranged to prcsont one to every
co-ed.
On Friday morning every girl shoul'l
stop at station "A" and receive aopy.
Tho feminine subscribers are urged to
notify their friends of this edition,
which 'will servo as an Indication of
tho "Superiority of Woman."
