Favor Annual Election.
Annual election of class officers, in
place of tho present semester system
of voting, will be the method In the
University of Wisconsin if the recom
mendations of tlio student conference
of that school are adopted.
The pollB of tho Y. M. C. A. elec
tion opened UiIb morning at 10 o'clock,
and will close promptly at 2:00. As
yet no definite results can bo an
nounced. The rules of the election aro briefly
as follows:
Voting shall be by ballot. All those
who present a membership card for
this year are ontitled to vote. AU
those who have contributed $1.00 or
more to the support of the associa
tion may obtain a membership card
by application at the general secre
tary's office.
The polling place shall bo the infor
mation desk in the lobby of tho Tem
ple. The polls will be open between the
hours of ten and two o'clock and the
ballots will be counted immediately
after tho polls close.
It Is hardly probable that tho cham
pionship games botwoon Kansas and
Nebraska will now bo played. Kan
sas replied to Coach Stlohm's lottor
Wednesday and refused to accept Om
aha as tho place to play unless Ne
braska agreed to guarantoo expenses.
In tho last letter sent by Kansas
the Jayhawkers offered to play any
time, any placo and with officials that
could bo agreod upon. Coach Stolhm
in replying named Omaha as tho placo;
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this
week as tho tlmo; and In a tolophono
convocation it was agreed that Hy
land and Hoopoe should officiate.
Demand 8eems Unreasonable.
Nothing, however, was said about
expenses, both Coach Stolhm and
Manager Eager supposing that as long
as tho games wore to be played on a
neutral floor each team should take
half of tho proceeds. And now Kansas
comes back with a domand that Ne
braska guarantee expenses. Just why
Nebraska should pay money out of its
treasury, if tho teams failed to
draw well In Omaha, In order to
defend the title against Kansas
when ill has already defeated
tho Jayhawkers four times, is hard for
Coach Steihm and Manager Eager to
see.
It looks very much as if Kansas were
trying to force Nebraska to refuse to
play.
Can Claim Championship.
If tho games aro not played in Om
aha this week they will not bo played
at all, for Steihm will not keep tho
men here dver Easter vacation in or
der to keep them in shape nor will ho
assemble the team after the vacation.
To keep tho team in condition would
mean steady work and if it were to lay
off until after the holidays It would
take several weoks to got into form
again. Nebraska can rightly claim tho
and tho coach does not intond to bo
obstinate about- it, but if Kansas re
fuses to como to terms on its own prd
posals then the games will not bo
played. '
To Give Three Recitals.
Miss Howell's elocution classes will
give three recitals Friday morning at
9, 10 and 11 o'clock respectively.
These recitals will be held in the
Temple theater and are free to all.
