Home Mulched vs. Northern Seed
Potatoes
Buletin No. 146. entitled 'Home
Mulched vs. Northern Seed Potatoes
for Eastern Nebraska,'' has just been
issued by the Nebraska Experiment
Station. It shows that with proper
care if a litter mulch is spread over the
potato plot in eastern Nebraska the
tubers so produced are the equal for
seed purposes of northern seed po
tatoes. This bulletin may be had free of
cost by residents of Nebraska upon
application to the Nebraska Agricul
tural Experiment Station, Lincoln. E.

TWEHTY-OKE MEDALS
FOR CHARTER DAY PRIZES
Medals Are on Exhibition in Front of
Administration Building Univer
sity Seal on Each Medal
Twenty-one beautiful medals, seven
gold, seven silver, seven bronze, and
rae adding fuel to the Charter Day
contests. They are very appropriate
medals and anyone might well be
proud to wear one. Each medal con
tains the University seal and the in
scription "Charter Day" on it.
The medals have been placed on ex
hibition in front of the Administra
tion building in order to convince the
participants and the public that the
talk about the medals is not mere
fiction. It seems that one year medals
were promised to the successful ath
letes but a rather slim treasury pre
vented the carrying out of the prom
ise. This year, however, the managers
are suffering from no such said ail
ment so those who are successful in
the big Charter Day events will be re
warded for their efforts by bona fide
medals. The management hope that
the medals will bring out a large con
tingent of athletes. 'The more the
merrier" is the slogan.
Wesleyan Wins Two
Telia, la., Feb. 9. Nebraska Wes
leyan" University has wen the first two
games of its Iowa tour, the first from
Simpson College at Indianapolis last
night, by a score of 19 to 17 in a close,
tight game, and again tonight from
the Pella Tigers by a score of 37 to 30.
The gymnasium here w-as small and
playing under A. A. U. rules, the Wes
leyans were at a disadvantage.
CRITICAL CONDITION
OFDEAH BESSEY
Botany Professor of International
Reputation Failing
Rapidly
Dr. Charles E. Bessey, professor at
the University of Nebraska and head
of the botany department, was re
ported to be 25 per cent weaker last
evening. He is still getting weaker
and his condition has become critical.
His two sons, Ernest E. Bessey. pro
fessor of botany at the Michigan Agri
cultural School, and Carl Bessey of
Chicago are at their father's bedside.
Doctor Bessey is one of the best
known professors of botany in Amer
ica, He has probably trained more
scholars of botany that are now hold
ing professorships and other very
prominent places in the botany world
than any other botany profesor in this
country. He has collected one of the
greatest herbariums in the world and
has written many books on botanical
subjects.
CHEMISTRY
T
SECOND OF LECTURES GIVEN TO
LARGE AUDIENCE
PROFESSOR MARTIN FISHER
The Subject of Address Was "Water
'' Absorption by Individual
Cells and
Tissues"
Yesterday afternoon Prof. Martin
H.Fischer of the University of Cincin
nati gave the second one of his series
of lectures on colloid chemistry in
the service of biology and medicine.
The title of this lecture was "Water
Absorption by Individual Cells and
Tissues" and "Edema." The doctor's
fame had preceded him and a crowd
of over one hundred and fifty students
and professional men crowded into
Chemistry Hall to hear him.
Doctor Fischer is a pleasing and
rapid talker. He was brought to Lin
coln under the auspices of the
Lincoln Commercial Club and of the
Lancaster County Medical Society.
And what one student was heard to
say of him, that "he looked like an
automobile salesman and talks like a
German text book," is true.
The doctor performed a number of
experiments illustrating the theories
common to colloidal chemistry. He

KOSMET ORCHESTRA
MAKEUPPEARANCE
Orchestra Is Entirely Composed of
University Men Show Begins to
Look Like Finished Product
Last night the Kosmet Klub orches
tra made its first appearance at the
regular rehearsal. This orchestra is
composed entirely of University men
and will undoubtedly become a . per
manent feature of this truly represen
tative University show. It is surpris
ing that there is so much talent in
the student body that is only brought
to light when some organization such
as the Kosnet Klub provides the im
petus. The rehearsal last night was exceed
ingly encouraging and the show is be
ginning to look like a finished produc
tion. The rumor that the show was
to be taken out of Lincoln is as yet
uncertain, the club waiting to see how
well the students will support their
own production. This is proving an
added stimulus to the cast and all
that will be needed to make "The Easy
Mark" a great success is a large and
enthusiastic audience. The date is
February 19th, and the seats go on
sale February 15th.
Freshman Law Hop
Ninety tickets have been validated
for the Freshman Law Hop, to be held
in Rosewild Hall, February 13, 1915.
No more tickets will be validated for
this hop. This number does not in
clude the complimentary tickets, a list
of which will appear in a later issue
of the Daily Nebraskan. -

GIRLS BASKET BALL
. TOURNAMENT SOOH
Outcome of Class Games is Issue of
Vital Importance to Players
Each Confident of Victory
"Who is going to win the class basket
ball tournament," is getting to be a
real live issue among the girls. The
Freshmen have all that first best
energy of youth which they expect to
carry them on to success. The Sopho
mores look confidently over the thirty
strong contestants for their team and
decide it will be "easy money" for them
The Juniors reflect on their two suc
cessive championships and expect an
other while the Seniors with four years
experience claim the victory is already
won. Much excitement and lengthy
debate proves that the date of the
tournament Is not far off. At present
no hair pollings or hatpin fights have
been reported but the smoke of battle
Is In the air while all four classes wait
expectantly for the victory.
UNI EXTENSID.'I VEEK
SPRING VACATION IS THE TIME
CHOOSEN
INNOCENTS AREBEHIND PLAN
Idea Is to Send Out Various University
Organizations to Give
Entertain,
ments
Last night, at a meeting of the Inno
cents, it was decided to have a Uni
versity Extension Week. Last year
several meetings were held by stu
dents interested in this line of work,
but nothing definitely could be decided
upon. The matter was left in the
hands of Phi Alpha Tan. This organi
zation drafted a petition which was to
have been presented to the Board of
Regents for their approval, but for
some reason was never presented.
There is a University ruling to the
effect that students shall not leave the
University during the school year
upon missions of this kind, and this
petition was intended to avoid the
ruling.
Chancellor Avery and Dean Engberg
met with the Innocents and decided
that the above ruling did not apply to
the time during the spring vacation
and that it woirld be entirely proper
for the students to go out in the state
during that time. It is planned to send
the Glee Club, Band, Debating Team,
Dramatic Club, Kosmet Klub play, and
a gymnasium team out on a week's
trip. They will visit many of the
larger towns of the state.
Their different lines of entertain
ment will present to the people of the
state the class of work which is being
done at their University and incident
ally keep their interest centered upon
Nebraska instead of on some other in
stitution. The coach of Minnesota's debating
team, while at Nebraska for their an
nual defeat last year, explained to the
members of Phi Alpha Tau the work
ings of the system at the University
of Minnesota, He explained that the
people of his state looked forward to
the spring when the students would
start on their trip. A special car was
chartered and carried the students
from town to town as their schedule
called for. He said that much of the
interest of Minnesota's alumni was
caused by these annual trips.
Phi Alpha Tau, while it has turned
the work over to the Innocent organi
zation, nevertheless will work in con
junction with this society. It is
planned to have each group of stu
dents go to a different town and in
this manner much of the state will be
visited. The plan presents an ideal
trip for those students fortunate
enough to be able to make the differ
ent stunts, and the movement will cer
tainly do a world of good for the Uni
versity. The Daily Nebraskan invites the stu
dents to voice their sentiments as to
University Extension. Any articles
addressed to "The Forum" will be pub
lished. A senior at the University of Texas
appeared on the campus last Wednes-
dav without the symbolical cane which
the class has decreed he shall wear.
Upon being discovered he escaped
with his life, but not until he had been
basted over the back some 6undry
times ny the administrators of senior
Justice.
