COACH STEIHM WILL STAY
ATHLETIC BOARD OFFERS HIM
THREE-YEAR CONTRACT
AT 3,500 A YEAR.
WASHES HANDS OF TOWLE CASE
Washes Hands of Towle Case Refers
Whole Affair to Eligibility Commit
tee of Missouri Valley Conference.
Coach E. O. Stlehm will stay at Ne
bra.ska. He will stay for at least three
years, and his salary will be $3,500 a
year.
This much was virtually decided up
on last ( veiling at a special meeting
of the athletic board. While the hoard
lias no power to draw up the contract,
it does have the power to make re
commendations to the board of re
gents, and in a case of this kind,
there is little doubt but that its wishes
will be respected by the regents. In
addtion to the University of Indiana,
one other university, the name of
which has been witheld, has offered
Stiehni a like contract at a like salary,
but the coach 1b understood to be
willing to remain for the $3,500, and so
everything is as good as settled.
This is Stiehm's third year at Ne
braska. At present his annual salary
is $2, GOO. The work of his Cornhus
kers throughout the past football sea
son attracted wide attention, and the
board deemed it wise to bind him with
a three-year contract before some
other university got hold of him.
In addition to disposing of the
Stiehm (luestion, the board washed its
hands of the Towle affair by re
ferring it to the eligibility committee
of the Missouri Valley conference. A
special committee was appointed to
draw up the fact of the case and pre
sent them to the conference officials.
As the close of the first semester is
fast drawing near, and as Captain
elect Max Towle may not a tend school
the second semester unless lie shall be
eligibile for football next year, the
committee will be asked to make all
possible haste in deciding the case,
for the special benefit ol the Captain
elect, if for nobody else.
After hearing the finance commit
tee's report, in which it was stated
that $5,500 a part of the profits of the
last football season, had been invested
in state warrants, the board ad
journed until its regular meeting next
Mondav.

Faculty Recommends Old System of
Two Hour Exams Will Not Take
Effect this Year.
At a recent meeting of the faculty,
it was voted to recommend to the
university senate that the old system

pending exams, and would probably
not go into use before next year.

The Official result or the Christmas
Tag campaign that was carried out by
die university girls was announced
yesterday by Miss Genevieve Lowry,
chairman of the committee in charge
of the work. The results were very
satisfactory In every respect, being
well up to the expectations of the cam

tickets out and the money obtained
from the sale of them nmounted to
$139.15. This money was spent buying
tilings that were the most needed for
24 families including 234 individuals.
These families were provided with
food, clothing and other noccessaries
together with toys for the young mem
bers of the family. Many of the fami
lies received complete supplies for the
pantry, being in a most needy condi
tion. The committee encountered
many singular experiences while in
the work of distribution, some families
being well provided for in some re
spects while absolutely destitute in
others.
Many Lincoln people also the Kil
konney club of the Lincoln high
school gave toys and other things that
wore suited to the youngsters.
The committee though it feels that
the campaign was a success is confi
dent that they will meet with even
more success nex season. Pi Phi
