It lacked some of Its usual rough stuff which has been noted on former occasions of this sort, and for this reason, If for no other, this event will be re corded in the annals of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and will be long remembered by all those who took part in honoring the greatest team that our school has ever had. The big ballroom of the Lindell was well fitted for the occasion. A big Nebraska banner hung from the west wall and the spirit of the crowd was shown in various other ways. Yells were intermingled with songs and at no time during the evening w.as the crowd of three hundred Nebraskans at a standstill. . The University Quar tet ably rendered several selections, which were appreciated, as were the songs from the Alpha Theta Chi sex tette. Before beginning with the speakers, H ought to be appropriate to say that the "feed was immense." Leave that to the fellows who re ceived two or three portions of sev eral of the courses. . C. C. Quiggle acted as toastmaster and handled this position in a master ful manner. His stories and jokes, besides his earnest remarks, were manifestly appreciated. Chancellor Samuel Avery was the first speaker of the evening. He Called at Offices In Engineering Col lege While on His Way Home In Randot P. A. Buol, Engineering '14, who has t.

Plans for the second all-University mixer, which is to be Friday, Decern ber 11, are beginning to "loom up" as the one big all-University affair be fore the holidays. Stunts and entertainment are being arranged which will interest and Please all. The first mixed was a huge success; so will the second one be a great success. The first mixer gives something to base anticipations on as to the size of the crowd, the kind of entertainment desired, etc. There is no reason why these mixers can not be Improved upon each time flnd ultimately become a permanent tradition at Nebraska. At the last mixer there were approximately 900 present More are expected at the second one, but regardless of the Bize of the crowd, they will be well enter tained. Never . before has a student at Ne braska had a better opportunity to become acquainted, with the students f the school, it ia a mixer, and to "mix" will be the prime object. SECRETARY WADE'S OFFICE NOW OPEN The Primary Purpose Is to Maintain Scholarship List of Fraternity Members Will Be Kept. The Armory was filled almost to overflowing last Friday night at the Cornhusker party. Nearly every girl present was attired in some wierd costume, some being disguised al most beyond recognition. There were about three hundred girls present and everyone had a fine time and voted the party a great success and a cus tom well worth preserving. Several campus celebrities were in evidence and seemed to enjoy them selves as much as possible. Profes sors Caldwell and Barbour both pre ferred the society of the co-eds to that of the banqueters. Cornell was there, as well as the Commandant, who must have Induced at least one full company to forfeit their pleasures at the Lindell and accompany him to the' entertainment of the girls.

A new club came Into existence at a recent rehearsal of the Kosmet Klub play. The name of the newcomer is "Kripples' Klub," and among its char ter members the names of many prom inent students may be found. The first by-law passed by the new club provides that no ablebodied man can become a member. Meetings are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30. The following men were chosen as officers: "Fractured Wrist" Kerney, president.

Inter-fraternity Secretary Merle Wade has already started the duties as outlined for the office, and in a short time some tangible results are expected to be shown. Some disap pointment has resulted over the buy ing proposition, which was expected to prove profitable enough to alone support the office. The plans have gone awry by the refusal of the whole sale houses to deal directly with the representative of the inter-fraternity. council. Some results have been ob tained, however, by favorable arrange ments with the Lincoln merchants. The primary purpose of the office is to maintain fraternity scholarships and to this end Secretary Wade has already sent out to the men's and women's fraternity houses a number of blanks which are to contain the names of the members of the organlza tion who have classes under the vari ous instructors. From these lists, which will be kept on file in the secre tary's office, Professor Buck, chair man of the Inter-fraternity Council, hopes to be able to check the num ber of delinquencies. a large number of boys were admitted. Several clever stunts were in evi dence at different times during the evening. The ribbon dance, an old English folk dance, was given by the aesthetic dancing class. The girls of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, who were dressed as cooks, sang a song which was quite in keeping with their costume. A school room scene was shown by a few members of the Dra matic Club, with the usual school room conduct and spectacled teacher. Burke Taylor and Irving Oberfelder may have thought that they were at the Lindell Hotel Friday night, but there is ample proof to the contrary. In fact, they led the yells in the liveli- "Bum Knee" Elliott, secretary and treasurer. "All Crip" Doyle, sergeant-at-arms.

For Miss Graham aa a aokio, asKing ior a contract allowing By H. I. Kyle. The big high academic moguls of the Missouri Valley Conference met at the Lincoln Hotel, Thursday and Friday of last week, and settled some of the vexing questions within their province. One of the principal prob lems, however, that known as the thirty-hour rule, was, for all practical purposes, left unsettled. At the last meeting, at Ames, a rule was adopted requiring the already overworked ath letes to have at least thirty hours of school work in the school he was at tending to his credit before he was eligible for the varsity team. The athletes were also required to carry at least thirty hours a year if they wished to compete in college athletics. Since the usifal requirement for the ordinary hothouse variety of student is only twenty-four hours a year, it will be seen at once that the muscular upholders of our honor on the grid- iron, the sinder path, the basketball floor, or the mat, is stuck with just six hours more than he would be were he not so unfortunate as to be cursed with unusual physical development. Nebraska's representative, Professor Barber, strenuously opposed the adop tion of the rule from the moment it was first suggested, and succeeded in compassing its repeal Friday, but a twenty-eight-hour rule was thereupon adopted, which doesn't help matters a great deal.

Yasui is a graduate of the University of Tokio, and now actively engaged In the heating, ventilating and air- conditioning business of his country. An extract from the letter follows: "There is no book in Japanese which treats the problem as a special and independent science. Occasionally a few statements appear in our maga zines or in small spaces of other books.

ALPHA KAPPA PS I BANQUET AT LINCOLN Hotel Professor Stephens Made Honorary Member. The other evening the Alpha Kappa Psi held an initiation in the Lincoln Hotel.

"The Introduction of the book would not only benefit our people greatly, but also, thereby, more applications of heating and ventilating apparatus would follow in our residences, offices, public buildings, etc." Professor Hoffman is still consider ing the desirability and terms of such a contract, and is finding very few persons who, from experience, can ad vise him in his dilemma. The bulletin of the agricultural short course for this winter is now out. This course is designed for busy farmers who can afford to spend but a .short time away from their farms.
