Life's greatest problem of today
Is how to live and make it pay;
And, howsoever It may seom,
The problem Is no idle dream.
At present time this "vale of tears"
Stands most lnneed-ot engineers;
Of men who know the thing to do
And have the skill to put it through.
There's going to be a banquet spread
For him who has It in his head
To do the engineering turn
Here is a chance to "live and learn";
To hear from engineers of fame
Important lessons In the game;
How men of gumption may turn in
With -welltdirected mower, and win.
The spread will be a dream the cost
"WTlTlSeveF countTtfTttoTroy-lost.
Besides the fragrant soup and fish,
The boavd will groan with many a dish
On which a king might well requite
His never-failing appetite.

Will one dollar or one and a half bo
the price of tho best seat at the senior
play? If tho management baa Its way
and runs both a matinee and a night
performance everybody can go for ono
bone. If tho faculty student organi
zations committee, however, bars the
matinee the price will probably have
to be ?1.50 In order for tho playto pay
out.
Tho matinee Is In danger because
tho play is to bo given on Tuesday,
May 5, tho day before Ivy Day and
tho faculty committee is not likely to
favor a matinee because that Is a
school day, even though tlie following
, day is .a holiday-. If they kill tho mat

hundred Nebraska Engineering "grads"
will bo back to roam over tho old
campus.
Tho Nebraska Academy of Sciences
meets Friday, May 8, in tho Mechani
cal Engineering building. No doubt
many of tho men in tho profession
will tako advantage of this splendid
opportunity to hear scientific discus
sions of great engineering problems
and so will bo in Lincoln tho day be
fore tho banquet. Mr. Bion J. Arnold,
toastmastor for the banquet, is plan
ning to arrive- in our city in time to
attend this meeting.
The banquet itself is to bo par ex
cellence, tug DeBTTTJOSBiDio arrange
ments havo been mado in every lino
of entertainment. Special attention
has been given to tho musical features
of tho program. A doublo quartot
has been organized from tho "Boiler
Makers" and their selections will,
from all indications, exceed tho very
high standards set by quartets of
former years. All vocal numbers will
bo accompanied by an eight piece or
chestra mado up from local talent in

ADMISSION TO ONE BONE," SAYS'
BE GIVEN ON MAY 5 UNDER-
the old price of $1.50, tho UBUal senior
play rate.
Aside from this little worry tho
senior play is coming on in great
shape. The seniors are paying their
assessments fairly well, for they re
alize that It Ib the only way to pay
the class debt.
Tho fact that they will get more
than their moneys worth in 'seats to
the show, is also some inducement to
come across. The cast is enthusiastic
and working hard, Miss Howel says
tho cast is ono of tho best sho has
over had' to work with in a class play.
Tickets for underclassmen and fac
ulty are on Bale Rt the Co-Op. Or
ganizations desiring to reserve seats
together may .so arrange by applica
tion to Mr. KIddoo, the manager.
SIGN UNIVERSITY WEEK
PETITIONS TODAY SURE
Students Are Requested to Not Con
fuse This With the University
Removal Question.
Petitions asking the Board of Reg
ents to grant "University Extension"
or "University Week" aro being circu
lated among the students today and
tomorrow. Tomorrow tables will bo
placed-abouL-thajcampjiB .to give ovory
one a chance to sign. So far thoro
are about four hundred signers.
Several persons have confused this
movement with tho policy of "exten
sion" as opposed to "removal" In re-
gard to University localtoTirItr-has-HTj
nothing to do with this. "University
Week" means tho presentation in var
ious towns of tho state University at
tractions, such as tho Glee Club, Tho
Dramatic Club, the debating teams,
The Band, and other similar organiza
tions, run on the lines of a lecturo
bureau or Chautauqua program.

-FRESHMAN-MEETING
MEM. HALL, 11:30
Representative-to--StudenL-CouncJL
Convention to Be Elected Ivy
Day Committee Announced.
Tho freshman class will moot today,
after much unseemly delay. This class
has been holding up tho work on both
tho student council convention and
tho Joint Ivy Day committee solely
because its. president has not seen fit,
heretofore, to call tho class together.
Action has finally been secured. The
freshmen will choose their members
in the student council convention, and
it Is hoped Mr. Allen will announce his
Ivy Day committee at this morning's
meeting.
The other university classes have
chosen their representatives in both
case's cited some time ago. Yet all ac
tion has been delayed by the fresh
men. Many claim they should not
hayo representation.' But now that
it has been given to them the univer
sity demands that they make proper
ubo of It.

Nebraskans are satrsfiifl with their

and above all 1b a man.
Last fall when the sport writers
chose their mythical teams there was
ono man that ovory ono of them
placed at left tacklo and that man was
"Vic" Halllgan. Waltor Eckorsall
gave him tho All Western position
and Outing gave him tho Bamo placo
on tho coveted All American team.
No matter whether on defense ov
offense "Vic" was always In tho play.
In tho Minnesota game ho recovered
throe fumbles when, If tho Gophers
had gotten them, It would havo been
"all off" with Nebraska. When the
Haskell Indians came they tried to
get tho Nebraska stars ono by one.
They succeeded In "laying out" Purdy
and then started In on Halllgan. Tho
-punishment that tho-North-PJattoboy
took at this time was torriflc. He was
withdrawn after tho gamo was 'Bafo"
and saved for Amos. Whon tho Ames
Aggies had it on us 9 to 0 then is
whon Halllgan stood forth as a real
leader. In this gamo ho was acting
captain in placo of Purdy who was
too 111 to tako part. Halllgan was
everywhere. His tacklo round plays

Against -tho Jayhawkers it was Halll

Football Captains at Nebraska from
1890 Up to the Present Year.
Tho various football men who have
been honored by their teammates and
exalted to tho highest honor that old
Nebraska can bestow are given below:
The first man to captain tho Corn
lniBkOTB was EbonczerE.-Alockettr-who
served during the two seasons of 1890
and 1891. In 1892 Albert M. Troyer
led the HiiBkers. Tho 1893 leader was
Georgo Henry Dern, whose team won
tho pennant. In 1894 Ike O. Placo was
captain. "Billy" Wilson, four year
varsity man, captained the Cornhusk
ers In his senior year. Wilson was loft
guard, and ono of tho originators of
tho now famous Nebraska- stone walL
Qrloy B. Thorp was captain In 1890.
Tho 1897 leader was one of tho most
brilliant leaders over seen in a Ne
braska uniform. To all old timers tho
name of George C. Shedd brings back
memories of many famous victories.
Tho team In 1898 was led by a four
year votoran In W. C. Melford. A
threo year veteran led the team in
1899. C. E. Williams was the man, a
peppery fighter of known and-evorlaBt-ing
