LOCATION QUESTION 26,600 Names Obtained More Than Amount Required by Law Filed With Secretary of State November Election. Petitions asking that the question ol tho State University's location be submitted to the people at the next general election in November have tiled with th secretary of state by i he University amnoriTiPir Twenty six thousand six hundred names were signed to tho large number of pet lions, which if placed one after an other would make a list several hun dred feet long. The law requires 10 per cent of the votes cast at the last election to be signed to such a petition. According to this, 25,912 would be the requisite number, which leaves a bonus of 788 names. Secretary Walt will make a canvass of the names upon the peti tion to ascertain the validity of the number. The petitions were circulated under the direction of the University offi cials, who are anxious to have the matter settled In order that the three fourths mill levy for expansion can be applied to that purpose. A great number of the names were secured through the efforts of students who canvassed their territory while home on their vacations A number earned their railroad fare at Christinas time in this manner. (Generally the names of the signa tures have not been hard to obtain, but the difficulty seems to have been in getting tho papers before the ten per cent of tho voters required for a referendum. Those, who are interested in the question count this another step toward tho final disposition of the much-discussed problem.

Each year as the autumn season come 'round the football team la or ganized and they soon start on their conquests to "Gophertown" in search of Gopher hides and to Lawrence after their "beloved Jayhawk." After tho football season the debating team de cide they need a change, so they take a little trip up to tho city of Malcolm. Next comes the basketball team. They practice long and hard and are re warded by trips to Minneapolis and Drake, etc. Now, the strange part about tho whole thing is that tho pro fessors aro getting the habit of taking a short trip also. Of course they have to go to Omaha to judge a debate or deliver an address or for some other equally good reason. But the point still remains, it is a good thing to take a little change of atmosphere at tlmeB during the school year. The professors think so. Moral, if you can not make the football team nor basket ball team nor debating team, be a professor.

The weights are 125 pounds and under, 140 pounds and under, 145 pounds and under, 1 tiG pounds and under, and 17 pounds and oer. Nebraska will bo represented by Pascal, Oanz, (lunther, Balis and Kruse. Coach Daily, Friday afternoon, made this prediction: "Nebraska will give Iowa a run for her money. I don't care to pick winners, but will say that I expect three Cornhuskors to pin their opponents' shoulders to the mat. The boys are in good condition. They are going in to win. From a specta tor's point of view tho matches will be full of pep." Every Nebraskan should turn out to help give Iowa a trimming. This is tho fourth time the two institutions have met on the mat. Iowa has won one dual meet and Nebraska has won two. Knock Tango. It is understood that a number of first and second year men are being' called to account or the fact that they are not taking physical training. Suggestion: Why not follow the example of Chicago and Wisconsin, where the faculties are contemplating substituting tango lessons for the re quired physical training. The men would get tho same amount of exer cise, and the "gym" classes would prove the most popular of the whole curriculum.
