At its busiest session of tho year tho Board of Regents adopted the plan proposed by the fraternity alumni for changes In the personnol of the inter-fraternity council, failed to take any action on bids for tho erection of the medical college, named Professor Stout head of the College of Engineering, authorized the erection of three tonnic courts on the new athletic field, and revised the stand ing of a number of members of the faculty. In connection with the adoption of tho changes In the inter-fraternity council, a committeo consisting of the Chancellor and tho president of the Board of Regents was appointed with power to act in making bucIi minor changes and modifications as might seem desirable after consulting with active and alumni members of tho fraternities, and such other persons as might bo interested. Stout Now Dean. Among tho main changes In title and now appointments made, tho most Important was tho naming of Prof. O. V. P. Stout as dean of tho college -XLLiJnginoerlng According to tho ac tion of the board, tho UtToTsTTo "be come effective Immediately. Sinco tho departure of former Dean C. II.

Elections at tho State University, held Tuesday morning for tho pur pose of choosing football and basket ball captains for the coming year, re sulted In a tio vote in tho former caBe and tho choice of Sam Currier in tho latter. Dewey Harmon and ErneBt Erank were the opposing candidates in the field for the football captaincy. Tho vote stood four to four, only eight of the sixteen men eligiblo to voto be ing present. This was tho second football election this year, tho one laBt fall when "Jerry" Warner was chosen to lead tho Cornhuskers for tho sea son of 1913, having been rendered old by tho latter'B leaving school. May Resort to Proxy. Six of last fall's letter men are now out of school (Jibson, Shonka, Elliott, (hauner, Warner and Potter. The rules roquiro a majority of the men eligible to vote to elect. Sixteen men received letters last fall and became eligible. With six out of school and four standing pat for either candidate tho required nino votes can not be obtained except by proxy. -LoXgreiL-amLSwiuiaQii were ab&ejiU from tho meeting on Tuesday, tho latter boing sick with tho mumps. For whom the voteB of Uicbo two men will go is, of course, not certain, al though they are thought to favor Frank. Even with both of their votes, however, the latter would still require tho support of some of tho others. Dr. Clapp has called a second meet ing of tho team men eligible to ote for April 17. Tho election of Sam Carrier to head Nebraska's basketball team was unan imous. Not the First Deadlock. This la not tho first deadlock which has occurred in the election of Ne braska's football captains. The last one occurred when "Buck" Beltzer was elected as a compromise candi date. This former fight was carried on with tho T. N. E. affiliation as an issue and disrupted tho team to such an extent that, with excellent mater ial, Colo and Beltzer had tho poorest team of years tho next season. To prevent any auch friction from occurring again, tho board enforced a rulo that the football team should elect its captain at a meeting to bo held Immediately after tho giving out of Initials or olso that It Bhould pasa over to tho board. This rulo can hardly apply to UiIb cfltao, aa It did not take Into consideration tho with drawal of a captain from school. It Is probable, however, that If a deadlock appears to bo certain after another voto, tho athletic board will take over tho election. The samples of the senior invita tions havo arrived and orders will be taken in the library from this noon until f p m . Friday. Aa usual, tho invitations are of two varloties, paper and leather; the former are to sell at two for a quar ter, the latter at a quarter each.

In order that the supply may bo had as soon as possible it will be necossary to return tho samples to tho manufacturer Saturday; hence all orders must be received during one of tho three coming days.

Work on tho 12 inch equatorial tele scope being made by students In the Mechanical Engineering department Ib being rapidly pushed forward Over half of tho parts have been com pleted. It has been five years since the planFWoro llfBt made, Tnost -of that time having been consumed in making the patteriiB. It will not re quire nearly that length of time to finish tho remaining partB. Tho tele scope, If made by contract, would cost $11,.')00 It will require considerable room and will demand a new observatory. Special machlno tools had to be con structed and changes made In old ma chines to meet the demands of the work required on tho telescope. Ono of the most Important of these, though not made primarily for work on tho telescope, is a graduating engine de signed and constructed by W. S. Payne of tho Department of Mechan ical Engineering. This Ib a machlno for graduating metal dlscB. It can bo adjusted so as to divide a circle Into parts aB small as five minutes. It Is tho result of soveral years of effort at odd times on tho part of Mr. Payne, and though operating successfully, It Is not yet perfected to the extent do Blred by him. The Inventor Intends to apply it to tho graduation of linear scales as well as to circular gradua tions. Tho machine Is constructed on an entirely different plan than thoae employed by tho manufacturers of surveying and similar instruments. S. O. Cotner was called to Omaha by the sudden death of his grand father, who died of heart failure last Saturday.
