TUESDAY
SEMESTER ELECTION WILL BE
HELD ON FEBRUARY 16TH
MANY CANDIDATES IN FIELD
Girl In Race For Junior President
Many Men Out For Ivy Day
Orator Freshman Not
Heard From
Memorial Hall will be "Memorial
Hall" for certain after next Tuesday.
That is it will be a memorable hall at
least, for In this building is to be held
the election for the various clasa
offices and for the Cornhusker berths
and the Ivy Day oratorship.
The number of candidates is not so
much out of the ordinary as is ihe
activity with which they are waging
their campaigns. Any sort of a ma
chine that can possibly be pressed into
use is being oiled op, and from indi
cations and from assertions there will
be factions capable of representation
by anything from a Winton Six to the
D. L. Ford.
For the presidency of the Senior
class, O. W. Sjogren and Otto Zum
w inkle have been reported as ener
getically presenting their respective
qualifications.
In the Junior class there is a very
extraordinary situation. For the first
time in the annals of the elections of
this class there 5s a girl in the race.
Ruth Sheldon has' announced herself
for the presidency and Percy Spencer
is campaigning for the same. All suf
fragettes and suffragists will have the
opportunity to partake in an interest
ing fight if they choose to do so.
The second year men are having
their attentions attracted (or distract
ed) by the rival efforts of A. R. Swen
son. Harry Marsh, and it Is reported.
Byron Hayes.
The Freshmen, bless them, have not
been heard from. Whether there is a
man in the field or not is a matter of
speculation. Perhaps there is and he
is too busy to notify his press agent
of his intentions. Anyway we can
depend upon the Freshmen for a
couple of candidates to enliven the
scrap.
For the Cornhusker offices Jake
Schwab is a candidate for editor-in-chief.
Jake says that he refuses to
make his nationality an issue, and is
resting easy, for it takes an Irishman
to beat the Dutch. -

torship of the annual. Charles Frey

EPISCOPAL MEETING
All Men Urged to Attend Meeting on
Wednesday Evening at 1906
Washington Street
All men affiliated with the Episcopal
church are. invited to attend the meet
ing Wednesday evening at the home
of Eugene Wettling. 1906 Washington
street
These different church meetings are
proving very agreeable and are being
given by the different church organiza
tions. FRATERNITY SNAPS
MUST BE TURNED IN
So Says Editor Samuelson of the Corn
husker Office Satisfied With
Progress Made so Far
"There seems to be some misunder
standing," Editor Samuelson stated to
a Daily Nebraskan reporter last even
ing, "about the fraternity and sorority
snapshots. The page opposite the
group picture will be a page of snap
shots, instead of the mixture which
past Cornhuskers have had there. We
rc.ust have these snaps right away.
Any number from six to sixty is de
sirable, as we can use the surplus in
other sections, or return them. If the
girls do not want to come up to the
fourth floor office, they can leave then,
at Station A, if marked on the en
velope tor the Cornhusker.' The man
agement is well satisfied with the
progress made so far. but must have
these, and all other snapshots, at
once."

Dr. Martin H. FisherWill Deliver Sec
ond Lecture in Physics Building
This Afternoon
The second lecture of the series be
ing given by Dr. Martin H. Fisher
will be delivered this afternoon at
4:30 o'clock. The lecture last even
ing proved very instructive and also
very interesting. A fairly large audi
ence listened attentively to the pro
fessor's lecture.
Following is an outline of the lecture
which will be given this afternoon:
"Absorption and Secretion in the
Complex Organism."
1. On absorption from the Periton
eal Cavity and the Gasiro-lntest'nal
Tract.

the Action of the Diuretic Salts.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
TRYOUTS THURSDAY
Miss Howell to Coach Play Will be
Presented at the Oliver Theatre
in March
Thursday evening the try-outs for
the Junior play will be held in the
Temple theatre. The last registration
was held yesterday morning at 11
o'clock. About thirty have signified
their intention of trying for the differ
ent parts. "The Road to Yesterday.'
is Cue name of the play which will be
presented by the Junior class this year.
It is a mixture of modern and
mediaeval acting which should take
well with the student body. The first
act is laid with a modern setting while
the second and third acts take place
during the mediaeval ages. The time
changes again in the fourth act back
to the modern stage.
Miss Howell has been secured to
coach the play again this year and will
no doubt make a complete success of
it as she has always done in the past.
The Junior class is composed of many
good actors and actresses and many
who would be the same, so between the
two classes Miss Howell should be
able to secure an excellent cast.
The play will be presented during
the month of March at the Oliver the
atre. The exact date will be announced
later. It was first planned to give the
play at the Temple but sufficient
tickets have been sold in advance to
warrant giving the play at the Oliver.
The manuscript is on the reserve
desk at the general library and any
one desiring to copy their parts for
the try-outs may secure It from there.
OFFOIIEASIElTIf
CORNHUSKERS LEAVE FOR IOWA
TODAY
TO MEET DRAKE AND AMES
Two Games Apiece With Aggies and
Bulldogs Huskers Badly Crippled
Shields May Not go With
Team
The Cornhusker basketball team, ac
companied by Coach Stiehm, will leave
on the 4:30 Rock Island today for the
annual trip back east. The members
of the squad who will make the trip
were not definitely known last night.
Shields, who was injured in the Wes
leyan game's, is in poor condition. His
knee was badly wrenched early in the
game. It has mended slowly, and
should it show no signs of strengthen
ing, he will not accompany the team.
Returning from the north with feath
ers trailing, and coming up from the
south with two defeats at the hands of
a conference rival, the last journey of
the 1915 basketball quintet is a sub
ject of considerable interest. Four
games are scheduled, two with the"
Iowa Aggies at Ames, and two with
Drake at Des Moines. The prospects
for an all-victorious eastern trip are
not especially bright. With Captahi
Hawkins and Myers out, and likely
Shields, the Husker's chances do not
loom up any too promisingly. Ne
braska can do no worse than break
even with Ames, having won two
games from the Aggies earlier in the
season. But this feat was accom
plished on the home floor when the
team was intact. With the Huskers
battling the Aggies on their mam
moth floor, which is not to be com
pared with our own pigmy one, the re
sult is a toss up. The Ames floor is
causing Coach Stiehm a little worry,
for it affects a team's play materially.
The Ames quintet has taken a decided
brace after their defeat at the hands
of Nebraska and Kansas and are play
ing much more efficient basketball.
The prowess of the Drake Bulldogs U
only a matter of conjecture. They
have been successful in their early
season games with some of the smaller
colleges of Iowa, but just how strong
they are is not known to the Corn
husker mentor or his men.
The Huskers went through a short
practice last evening. Keifer was
playing at center, Rutherford, Gardner,
and Thiesen at forwards, and Camp
bell, Hugg and Milliken'at guards. The
team is not in the best condition after
the Wesleyan encounter.
