Four weeks ago tonight, about this same hour, the students began crowding Into the gymnasium to sat isfy their curiosity concerning the first "Mixer." Upon the success of tonight's entertainment and the size of the crowd, will depend the success of all future events of this kind at Nebraska. The students of Nebraska have a reputation for quickly becom ing tired of new ideas, and it remains to be seen whether this objection will hold good when applied to this real University function. The committee in charge of ' the gathering tonight is very confident Mr. Zumwinkle said yesterday that he expected at least eight hundred stu dents to attend. One other member of the committee made the statement that she would be disappointed unless one thousand appeared. Profiting by the experience of the first "Mixer," the committee has arranged an ex cellent program for tonight. Besides the privilege of dancing, a complete line of "stunts" has been arranged, and will be pulled off with Orpheum like rapidity. The faculty will attend In a body (so it is rumored) to see themselves as they were fifty years ago! How would you like to see Dean Davis making mud pies with Chan cellor Avery, or Doctor Fling and Dean Hastings playing marbles for "keeps"? Of course, the committee has not made any definite promises, but nevertheless everyone can go feeling confident tint they will be en tertained. Scott's orhcestra has been secured to play throughout the evening. Re freshments will be served to all, so secure your partner or someone else's partner and file by the truck wagon early. Admission will be the same as on the former occasion, to wit: Twenty-five cents per person if alone, and 25 cents extra If accom panied with someone else. Everyone has the privilege of coming alone and depending on his own resources after gaining admission, but then every stu dent must determine this phase of the question for himself. The "Mixer" will start promptly at 8:00 p. m. The "school house stunt1 will begin at 8:45, so the faculty Is especially urged to come early and get a "stand-In" with the participants.

E DETAILED ACCOUNT OF WEDNES DAY'S GAME MCGURK STARS AT QUARTER Cold Weather Causes Much Fumbling, But Game Was Fast and Exciting, Notwithstanding Play Even Till the Last Quarter By H. I. Kyle Because of the fact that yesterday's Issue of the Dally Nebraskan was the Agricultural Edition, it was thought best to reserve the detailed account of the Senior-Freshman football game for today's paper, rather than take the space from the Farm students yesterday.

Their first play resulted in a fumble which was grabbed by a Senior. Mapes failed, on a line buck; Southwick made 2 yards around right end; a forward pass was incomplete; Freshmen take ball on downs.

VISIT TO ASYLUM Tour of Inspection Followed by Lec tures From Physicians In Charge The Pre-Medic Society journeyed to the State Hospital for the Insane last evening. There was a mob of future doctors that besieged the unfortunate street car conductor at Tenth and O streets, and how many of these rode with the compliments of the street car company is unknown. One thing is certain, there were so many of them that the car had a very sanitary and antiseptic appearance. President Up degraf and Secretary Dakin did their best to preserve order, but most of the order was pickled. v After a tour through the Institution, which is very large and well fur nished, the visitors were taken to the large theatre and dance hall, where they listened to several very interest ing lectures. President Updegraf of the society opened the meeting by thanking Doctor Williams, the .super intendent, for the courtesy shown the society.
