Dr. Bessey, who returned recently
from the fourth National Conservation

elated with the results of this session.
The personnel included national and
state officers from all parts of the
United States and a host of the na

the other four members, and contains
the folio Aing endorsements- David
Starr Jordan, Leland Stanford; K A
Aldermann, University of Virginia; E
B. Craighead, University of Montana;

Dr Bessey viewB his subject from
three different standpoints: work In
the community, work in the schools
and work through legislation The
keynote of his whole report is given
in his opening paragraph: "We must
provide for a propaganda of suggestion
and information, to be followed ulti
mately, when the public mind has been
adequately awakened, with plans for a
campaign of aggressive activity."

OLYMPIC COMMITTEE TO BE SE
LECTED BY NEW PRE8IDENT.
MINOR OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED
Victory In Traditional Contest Is Pre
dicted for Freshmen If Customary
Spirit Is Shown Sophs. De
feated Last Two Years.
Next Tuesday will be hell tho Aral
freshman class meeting for the pur
pose of selecting a committee for tho
Olympics and electing minor officers.
The necessity of a good commltteo can
not be overestimated, as It was due o
the efficiency of the committees that
the freshmen won In these contest,
the last two yearB The number of
studentB In the freshman class Ih larger
than in the Bophomore clasB, conse
quently they have a good chance of
success again this year if all are loyal
to their class
Various Athletic Events.
The event b of the Olympics consist
of three boxing matches, light, medium
and heavyweight; three wrestling.
matches, tug of war, Marathon race
and the free-for all struggle.
The Olympics conteBt made its first
appearance In Nebraska in 1908. It
was noticed that Braal! groups of stu
dents would get into class struggles
on the campus, which would usually
end in anything but honorable defeat
for one Bide or the other Prof. Con
dra and other professors decided that
the struggle between the two classes
should be organized Due to the vari
ous athletic contests Involved. Dr.
BeBBey proposed the name "Olyrnplca"
for the contest, which was adopted.
The lower classmen have nothing U
do in the management of the Olym
pics, but are supposed to follow tho
instructions of their upper classmen.
Free-for-AII the Big Event.
The greatest event is the "free-for-all,"
which consists of a struggle into
whlch any one of the two claHH.es can
enter Two years ago the struggle
was over twelve bells placed between
the two classes, and laBt year was a
flag rush. It is not yet decided what It
will be over this year, but the victory
of the freshmen In this has won the
Olympic the last two years
There are two objects for whlc&t
these class struggles are held: first, to
give the students a chance for a real
fight and get all they want; second, to
discover men who are good athletes
and leaders who otherwise are not
known.
Ab a rule the sophomores win, bar
ing had a year's experience and being:
in better condition, but the lust two
years the freshmen have won. The
ictory this year depends on the num-
bferof freshmen that turn out at tho
cluSB1 meeting next Tuesday and get
up enthusiasm for University cham
pions, or better yet, try out for places.
