or two of those -submitted have not
had a careful reading and so another
mv vet be added to the above list.
There were more sketches submitted
this year than at any former time,
and it is understood that the quality
of the work Is of a much higher grade
than that of any former year.
Besides these little plays, the com
mittee has arranged to have four cur
tain stunts. These will be on the
order of last year. They have not all
been chosen, but the Komensky Club
will at least present a little stunt.
while an athletic stunt will compose
one of the others. Two more are yet
to be selected.
Last vear the Oliver Theatre was
crowded with students who sat In
judgment on their fellow students'
Stan?- fh writers' line. Last
year's University Night was said to
be the best ever given, but already
the different stunts are nearly as good
as those of the past year, and with
four weeks in which to work them up
they should approach the perfect.
A small admission fee of ten cents
is charged each student. This fee is
chareed in order to make University
VipM wi-TftW self-sustaining. No

extra charge will be made for the
reservation of seats.
The committee is composed of
Charles Hauptman. chairman. Otto
Zurowinkel, Herbert Reese and R. L.
Ewing. This committee will have
complete charge of all the different
sketches as well as their presentation.
This entertainment will be given at
the Oliver Theatre on the evening of
March 20th. The Oliver will seat half
of the student body only, so plan on
coming early and hearing your friends
in student sketches.
The Mask and Wig Club of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania is to present
the university with a $25,000 house to
be used as official residence of the

club gave to the trustees a few thou
sand dollars and each year since they
have added to the amount.

KELDTO HASTINGS
Many Students Plan on Attending the
State Conference of College Men
and Women Held Next Week
A number of students are planning
to attend the State Conference of Col
lege Men and Women, which is to be
held at Hastings, February 26 to 28.
The conference includes the Y. M. C.
A. and Y. W. C. A. and the Student
Volunteers.
Mr. J. Lovell Murray and Miss
Maude Kelsey of New York, traveling
secretaries of the Student Volunteers,
and Miss Adelia Dodge of Minneapolis
are among the speakers.
Entertainment is furnished by the
students of Hastings College, so the
only exnense will be I4.S8, which in
eludes railroad fare and registration.
It is hoped that the University organi
sations will be well represented.

The boxing proposition has not yet

voted for it, but as two-thirds of those

tain will rise on the best play in the
hietnrv f the Kosmet Klub. Too
much cannot be said as to the merit
of the nlay. The author has succeed

appeal which bring the audience into
touch with it, and encourages the nat

member of the cast is in perfect touch
with his characterization and inter
prets it with an understanding which
is bound to make the play the great
est success that Kosmet has ever had
Much of the strength of the play is
due to the clever dancing and lively
songs. There are four scenes, with
chorus and dancing specialties, which
are unusually strong, the Chinese,

"Big Nine" Conferenre in an attempt
to destroy their policy of slighting,
from the Iowa point of view, the
smaller schools of the Conference in

University Council Decides to Hold a
special Election in Each
Class
It was decided at the last meeting of
the All-University Council at the Uni
versity of Minnesota to hold a special
election in each class of the univer
sity to decide once and for all the
question of smoking in the Men's
building. Each representative on the
council will hold a special election in
his class at which students will an
swer the following four questions:
"Do you favor smoking in one room of
the Men's building? In all rooms? In
all but the dining-room? Do you favor
the prohibiting of all smoking?"
It might be interesting if such a
vote was taken here at Nebraska.
The law students have been complain
ing all winter about being forced to
stand at the gates between classes
during zero weather in order to get a
puff of encouragement.

BULLDOGS ARE IIEXI
DRAKE QUINTET WILL BE HERE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
BOTH GAMES IN AFTERNOON
Friday's Game Played in Afternoon to
Accommodate Kosmet Klub Play
Big Matinee Dance After
Saturday's Encounter
Coach Griffith and his Drake Bull
dogs m ill spend the week-end with the
Cornhuskers. Two entertainments are
scheduled on the afternoons of Friday
and Saturday. Friday's entertainment
will commence at four o'clock In this
way enabling students to see the
initial game of the series and not miss
the Kosmet Klub play. The game
Saturday will be held in the afternoon
out of deference to the Bulldogs, who
have a week of hard games facing
them after their visit with the Corn
huskers. After this game a matinee
dance will be held In honor of Coach
Griffith and his men.
The coming of the Bulldogs means
two fast, clean, exciting contests, con
tests which will without doubt be the
best played on the home floor so far
this season. Drake brings with her
the reputation of being a fast clean,
consistent team, one which never
quits playing basketball until the final
whistle blows, and which is as likely
to win a game during the last few
minutes of play as durig the earlier
and more abundant moments. When
Nebraska met Drake at Des Moines
last week the Huskers were at their
best, playing the most brilliant basket
ball of the season in the second game
with Drake. The Huskers are just
beginning to adjust themselves to
new conditions and the men who are
filling the spacious shoes of the absent
regulars are developing into form
which rivals that of their predeces
sors. Nebraska's eany season games
were somewhat of a disappointment,
but the Huskers are playing excellent
basketball at the present time. In
spite of the fact that there are only
two old regulars. Rutherford and
Hugg, on the team at this time, team
work has been developed to a higher
point than in the earlier games when
the other regulars were in:
Practice this week consisted mostly
in developing teamwork and new of
fensive plays. Campbell, the little
forward, who proved so troublesome
to Drake and Ames, showed up to
good advantage, as did his running
mates. Gardner and Theisen. At
guards. Rutherford, Sheldon and Hugg
handled the spheroid deftly and cov
ered the floor in good style. Keifer,
playing in the place of the crippled
Shields, did consistent work at center.
Elsewhere in today's Nehraskan is
given a table of the standing of the
first five men up to the present time,
and the names of the five leading men
at the end of the seasons of 1914 and
1913. It offers some interesting side
lights upon this year's squad. Only
one man who appears on the 1914 list
is to be found in this year's lineup,
and none of the men appearing on the
191S list.
