Convocation yesterday morning was sadly lacking in the size of the audi ence who listened to an address on English politics given by Prof H W Caldwell of the American history de partment Several other objects of student interest were scheduled for all day sessions today, such as "Deutcher Tag" and the election of class ofllcers, so the sparcity of hearers is accounted for In this manner. Professor Caldwell Is very well versed In his subject, having spent the greater part of last year In Kngland studying upon this point He dis cussed the different problems that now confront the English from an Amerl can standpoint and made his hearers feel that they had gained a better un derstanding or conditions across the water By a unanimous vote of the audience Piofessor Caldwell was asked to con tinue his talk at next Tuesday's con vocation BETTER SERVICE AFTER NOON. Beat Time to Eat at Cafeteria is After Noon Rush, According to Orr. Students who are deterred from eat ing at the cafeteria by the long line which is formed at 11 HO are requested to come at a later time and get the benefit of quicker service Between 11 :10 and 12 15 there is a rush of trade, and although service is really no slower than later, the prospect of standing in line does not appeal to some After 12 lf the niBh is over, and at that time all who want may be served according to their pleasure Since it takes only a few minutes to go through the line, there Is plenty of time to get served before 1 o'clock classes even that late at noon, and Manager Orr thinks that better service can be given in that way.

The old time practice of running a daik horse at the last moment and electing him by prestige rather than real ability, was conspicuously absent as was also the always present influ encing of voters by cheering Junior Wins by Nine Votes. The hardest fight was experienced in the third year class, where Dickin son defeated Trumbull by but nlno votes Both candidates were very ac tive all day and the results were, ex tiemely doubtful up to the moment the ballots were counted and tho re sults tallied Freshmen Advertise with Card. In the freshman class there was also a strong fight for the office tho victor, P A Warner, winning by the narrow margin of a dozen or so votes over B A Thomas In this claHs tlckeLs were used to udvertlse the various candidates and the result was a much larger vote polled than has been the case for years in an election of this kind It would probably be correct to say that this is the first honest fresh man election held at Nebraska, and for this the Australian ballot is to bo thanked Girls' Vote Influences Results. One of the conspicuous points no ticed in the fight w;is the prevalence of coed voters In former yearB class elections the girls have been a sort of forgotten factor, but It seemed yes terday that they occupied the impor tant part of the stage Kvery effort was put out by all the candidates to get out this class of voters, and the results of the election were probably matci tally changed by this work.
