Third-Year Students Authorizes Prom Committee to Join with Seniors on All-University Prom. AGREED ON FOUR-DOLLAR FEE J 'I he junioi ( lass, at the special meet ing (albd esieida morning by Presi dent Dickinson approved the plan of uniting the junior and senior promen ades info one big all-University dance. With this approval from the Juniors, the dance has become a fixed certainty and the i ommittee is under directions -o go ahead with the necessary plans. I'm sident Mulligan of the senior class is in luor ol the dance and is willing to abide b the decision of his com mittee hen a'-ked b a Nebraskan re poitei what action the seniors would take on the matter, he said. "Unless thei'e seems to he a good deal of agita tion among the members of the class against the proposition I think it will he iinnecessai to call a meeting of the class Since the senioi prom com mittee is heartily in favor of the plan, their opinion will represent that of the entire class " That there is some opposition to the dance, as first suggested, was shown at the junior meeting Onl a hand ful of faithfuls were present, but they were aware of the serious aspect of the proposal and liteiiillj picked it to pieces with objections and suggestions before accepting the committee's rec ommendation Diiscoll. speaking for the committee, advocated the united prom and recommended that it be held at the auditorium and that the price of admission be $." ! "The fundamental idea in our hold ing this combined dance," he said, "is I to escape the excessive demands of the Lincoln Hotel management Next to that is the desire to give a prom that will be one really worthy oT the name With the laise.d price of ad mission the committee will have enough funds at hand to have the floor put in excellent condition, and tire auditorium can be made into a fine place for the dance " Here the class divided. V. K Ka van objected to the $5 ticket proposi tion on I he grounds that the class would not support a dance at this price. He was sustained in his objec tion by several present who main tained that the auditorium floor could not be put in the condition that a $f dance would justify. It was the con sensus of opinio" that the auditorium was the only place in which a dance of 200 or more couples could be held. And the objection the committee had to meet was the poor condition of the auditorium The question of the precedent such a dance would set was quickly disposed of, on the grounds that the experiment need not bo repeated if it was found impracticable. Shorty Gray Oonateo Limb for Benefit of Inqulsltlvo Medical Student. n . DISPOSITION OF BOOTY UNKNOWN Shoitv Gray, our convict .friend, who lias been concealed from public notice lor a few weeks, again springs into prominence- It was rumored about the campus csterday that for the sole purpose of scientifically In stunting the minds of one first year medical student, Shorty Gray found hlmsell minus the left leg, following a painless amputation. It was the darkest hour of midnight that Will Aten, commonly krrown aB "Mill" and heretofore thought harm less, stole into the anatomy laboratory by instructions of the professor, how ever, and "lifted" Shorty's right limb. However, this may have been done legally, there Is no doubt that "Bill's" character has been Indelibly dyed with the blood of Ills helpless victim The minor did not go so far as to speclfv what disposition is to be made oi it s the epidermis sale of a month ago la ked support tile medics will piohably not undertake the propo sition of flooding the market with "souvenirs" again. However, students are cautioned to beware ol fakers with iinv such articles lor tire present ALUMNI WILL PUBLISH JOURNAL Publication Heretofore Sent to Gradu ates Will Be Limited to Instructors.

ELVEN "N" MEN COMING BACK TO FORM NUQLEU8 OF TEAM. RESERVES WILL YIED FAST MEN Stiff Schedule Bolng Arranged by Coach Stlehm Possibly Two Games With "Big Nine" Schools. Nebraska is looking forward to an other sue cesslul season of football i In l'.tl.'l. With only two of this year's team to be lost by graduation tho re luming eleven men form a nucleus around which to build another cham pionship team. When the returning tetter men are strengthened by the re cruits ol tills year's freshman team, iootball will look very promising in deed lor the 11M3 cumpaign. Capfiln Frank and Dewey Harmarr are the only men who have phlyed their a'lotted three years and will be sure to be absent from the ranks next fall. Mulligan, although a Senior, is undecided, but will probably take his degree in the spring. Swanson, too, is on the fence, but the first call next fall will no doubt see the husky tackle in the moleskins. Towle, tho nifty quarterback, will not take his degree tlria year and will be back nest year. Potter, Towle's running mate, lins two more semesteiK in school as he was out orre semester during his sopho more yearn on account of sickness. The other letter men. Captaln-ISIecc Purely, Freitag, Mnstln, Howard, Halll gan, Pearson and Allan are sure of returning. For the line next year the only posi tions that will have to be filled will be a tackle, guard and possibly an end. For these places there need bo little worry for they can ire ably filled by such men of tho freshmen team as Shields. McCarthy and Riddel. Sev eral other men of tho freshman clasa were able to got out for practice only for a few nights a week and they proved good material. The backfield proposition 1b not a very difficult one, for Potter and Towle will bo back at their old posi tions at quarterback. Purdy, Beck, Hawkins. Rutherford, Eaton und Hugg at halfbacks suro will prove a bunch ot demon halves, although they aro not very heavy Halligan will again hold down the position of fullback and will bo ably supported by Coffee, tho plunging fullback on this year's freshmen team. Mastln, who played end this year, plays a good game at fullback, and If necessary could be shifted to that position. Coach Stlehm and Captain-Elect Purdy have a lot of good material to work with next year and no doubt will (Continued onPage 8) .- - x . c -I - x i -r- "t- -
