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.

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

sition of flooding the market with
"souvenirs" again. However, students
are cautioned to beware ol fakers with

solidated dance, tho senior committee
to unite with the junior In effecting
the plans. Tho price of the tickets,
however, was lowered to $4. This mo
tion was carried almost unanimously
and tho committee was ompowored to

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
