FRESHMEN SHOULD
COME TO RESCUE
Only two lists of reasons have been
received by the business manager of
the Cornhusker, who some days ago
offered to give a 1916 Cornhusker to
the Freshman who wrote and handed
in the ten best reasons why a fresh
man should buy a Cornhusker.
This offer should meet with such an
influx of reasons that the Cornhusker
manager would need an assistant to
look them over.
A Cornhusker is a big prize for
the effort required to think of ten
reasons, and who knows whose ideas
mill look the best to the judges?

Are you a bashful young man who

Take heart, for she can do it no

Miss Bigelow never did look with
favor on these menagerie dances, but
she tolerated them for the sake of the
pleasure-loving youth of the land un
til outside criticism of our bird-like
movements got too strong and now
she says they must go.
The fact that the pigeon-wplk is
passe in "the best circles" would be
enough to down it with most people,
says Miss Bigelow, but a small thing
like that doesn't seem to daunt our
varsity society. It's lots of fun and
good dancers like to do it
The sorority girls have been asked
to take the initiative in getting rid

ANNOUNCE PROGRAM
FOR UNI. NIGHT
University Night is progressing with
leaps and bounds, but the committee
is going to be very conservative in
its predictions as to the success of
the entertainment until a very short
time before Saturday, March 4. At
present however, there seems to be
no reason for believing anything but
that the student body will be pleased
with the production. Every organiza
tion, which, according to the first de
cision of the judges, was chosen to
display its talent is really at work.
Not one have dropped out.
It can be mentioned at this time
that the Agricultural club is practic
ing on a county fair, but from what
the committee have seen of the stunt
thus far the mere name "county fair"
does not at all suggest the possibili
ties of their novel ideas. The Sigma
noltA Oil's annual edition of "The
Shun," will be published. The Glee
club and the cadet band will perform
this year again as they have always
done.
The "Phys. Eds." are on the pro
gram for the first time in the history
of University Night A member of
the committee has witnessed them In
action and will leave the decision of
their popularity to the judgment of
the audience. He says that he feels
safe in doing so. The engineers have
an exceptionally novel act, something
instructive, full of surprises and spec-
tacular. The pantomine of the Pre-
medics out to be "rich." A little burles
que operating on the stage. It will
be characteristic of the work medics
are accustomed to do. It will be
within the bounds of propriety. As for
the Phi Delta Phi, law fraternity, and
the Joint Palladian and Union acts, It
is sufficient to point to their produc
tions of past years. Both of these
number8 are
burlesque playlets in
keeping with those things of interest
to the students. The scenarios show
immediately that laughter will follow
in the wake of every word.

"UNIVERSITY AK-SAR-BEN"
David Bowman and Helen Humpe
Head Committee in Charge
of the Festival
The "University Ak-Sar-Ben" is the
appropriate appellation applied to
the approaching carnival to be held
throughout the Temple building on
the night of Saturday, March IS. The
committee chairmen, David Bowman
and Helen Humpe, have planned for
a large number of university organi
zations to exhibit a portion of their
best talent on that evening. It is def
initely understood that there will be
no "sells" In any of the various
booths, but that the visitor to each
will find on the inside something
original and worth while and that its
originality and worth-while-ness will
depend upon the abilities of the or
ganization back of it
One of the striking features of the
evening will be a procession of
everyone who comes dressed in some
sort of a costume. A prize, which
the committee promises will be worth
not less than one dollar, is to be
awarded for the most extraordinary
caricature.
Arrangements are being completed
whereby, for a 10-cent general admis
sion, a vaudeville exhibition of some
merit will be staged twice during the
evening. Besides this there will be
other free attractions which will make
for value received on the entire en
entertainment Merely a nominal
charge will be made for entrance into
the many rooms of the building, in
each, of which will be experienced a
performance which took energy, abil
ity and no little time to perfect.
The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
wish to say that this idea of a Uni
versity Carnival is not a money-making
scheme in the least but that what
may remain above the expenses will
be placed in the Estes Park delegate
fund.
