HAS RECEIVED OFFICIAL SANCTION
I
STUDENT COUNCIL IS BROUGHT UP
Chancellor Avery as Toastmaster En
gineers Successful Affair Alexan
der, Elliott, Reed and Ship
herd on Toast List.
The first all-univerBity men's ban
quet, ankle from the annual Corn
lniBker banquet, was held last night
at the Lindell. It was promoted by
the Y. M. ('. A , Secretary Ewtng being
the prime spirit behind the movement
and Carl Ganz. ( hairman of the social
committee, actively In charge.
Chancellor Avery acted as toastmas
ter, and the program included two se
lections by the Glee club quartet, Scott,
Israel, AlllBon, and Griswold.
Mr. Ewing of the Y. M. C. A., al
though not on the toast list, was called
on by Chancellor Avery to start things
moving. He explained that the Y. M.
C. A. in undertaking the promotion of
an annual men's banqet was merely
attempting to serve the student body.
To provide a good time in a cultured
fashion, he said, was the object of the
Innovation. Likewise, to create a stu
dent forum, where matters of student
interest could be discussed freely.
Mr. Ft. I. Elliott, deputy state su
perintendent of instruction, followed,
the first speaker on the toast list, with
the subject "University Morale." He
developed this to show that the morale
of the university was largely depend
ent on the high schools, and that great
things were being done In the state
lo create a better high school morale.
Prof. H. B. Alexander, on "University
Social Consciousness," said, In part:
"The knowledge of the world's ideals
Is higher education. Loyalty to one's
own Ideals, coupled with the .will to
act, results in the founding of real
university traditions. Fulfilling Indi
vidual ideals, then, and abiding by the
-world's Ideals, makes for the funda
mental kepnote of university training,
which is to perfect In oneself a wisdom
which is based upon understanding."
Purposes of Council.
"Student Self Government," which
is a vital issue, was discussed by Guy
E. Heed, after Chancellor Avery in
Introducing him assured the audience
that if a student council was estab
lished. It would be given nil the author
ity that it was able to exercise. Reed
stated that some of the purposes a
student council would Batisfy were (1)
to preserve and promote the best cus
toms and traditions of the university;
(2)to reflect student sentiment; (3)
to provide for general wellfare of stu
dent activities; (4) to create and en
gender a spirit of loyalty, clean living
and fairness in the student; (5) to
further plans for the ultimate forma
tion of a "Nebraskan Union."
Speaking of the overlaplng of the
Innocents' work by the proposed coun-
' ell, Mr. Reed said that the Innocents
could find other work of service and
that It was more democratic to have

GAME TABLE STOLEN
FROM Y. M. C. A. ROOM
Gang of Boys Suspected of Having Dis
located New Chess Table During
Exercises in Temple.
The reading room of the University
Y. M. C. A. was the scene of a sure
nuff, genuine robbery last night. About
10 o'clock the room was entered by
some unknown mlscreantB and one of
the game tables was taken out through
a window. The loss was noted at 10:15.
A thorough search of the grounds and
building failed to reveal the missing
table. Accordingly the police were put
on the job, and an effort Is being
made to got the table back.
There had been an unusual number
of boys noticed In and around the
building, of the type that is usually
noticed on street corners. The grad
uating exercises of the eighth grade of
one of the city Bchools was being held
In the Temple, and these boyB made
themselves conspicuous by their bols
terousness during the exercises.
Conland Wilson, the night care
taker of the Temple, had noted their
presence In the building, and Ib of the
opinion that it was one of these gangs
that got away with the furniture.
A window was found open, the chess
men wore scattered over the floor as
If hurriedly dashed off the table top,
and, every circumstances points to
the exaggerated pranks of such a gang.
The tablo was new, and valued at fif
teen dollars.
During the week a number of Bmall
articles have been missed from the
Temple, possibly through the same
source. Last evening an overcoat dis
appeared during the graduation exer
cises. KEARNS PROPOSES TO PUT
SEVEN-FOOT TEAM IN FIELD
Would Conquer Cornhuskers With a
Quintet of Lincoln
Giants.
Following the lead of the famous
Prussian prince who refused to take
Into his regiment anybody under
seven feet In height, one "Bud Kearns
of the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. has evolved
a plan of defeating the heretofore In
vincible Cornhuskers, by placing in
the field against them a quintet of seven-foot
basket shooters.
On the line-up which Kearns Is now
getting togther, he proposes to have
such well known stars as himself
"Jumbo Stlehm, Skinny" Hiltner,
"Otsle" Keifer, besides two others yet
to be picked. He believes that these
men could put it all over the Nebras
ka bunch, not only because of. their
all-orund ability, but also because all
they would have to do would be to
amuse themselves by dropping the ball
in the basket, instead of tossing It in,
as b usually the custom.
HUSKERS NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEFEAT AT COYOTES' HANDS
Haskell and Keester the Stars In Hard
Fought Victory Score
29 to 20.
The Wesleyan Coyotes didn't hum
ble the Cornhuskers in basketball last
evening, but they came so close to It
that the Hunkers had to use all their
reserve strength to turn the trick. Th
flercelyi-fought .battle ended with a
2i to 20 score.
Nebraska's roughness and Alton
Koester's remarkable facility of throw
ing free goals were mainly responsible
for the cloHsness of the score. Twelve
fouls were charged against the locals
and Keester took advantage of all but
two of them. Ho likewise divided hon
ors with Haskell by making spectacu
lar shots from the field. The Coyotes
were able to muster only live field
goals, but their little right forward
was quite capable of making up for
this weakness.
Haskell made a beautiful field goal
before the game was half a minute old.
He followed It up with six more, and
otherwise distinguished himself by his
all-around work on the floor. Inci
dentally, the Huskers maintained their
record of a score a minute In the
three games, or 120 minutes, they have
played this season, they have made
Just 129 points, or nine more than
necessary to keep up their reputation.
The same teams will meet at the
armory again this evening. Last
