weight that could bold his own with
others In his class. Tbe Cornhusker
representative in the featherweight
class, for the last three years has
been Henry Pascale.
A glance over tbe records show
that Pascale has more thn held his
own in the meets be has taken part
in. Last year be got away to a bad
start but made a good showing before
be finished the season.
There are no good candidates for
either of these Jo'us and any one who
has had experience on the padded
mat will have an excellent chance to
go on the trip this year.

They are now considering whether
tints of mahogany and pink should
not be added. It- is claimed that one
member of the committee has tresses
of mahogany, while one graduate stu
dent (Magdalene Craft), who passed
easily as "eligible," verges distinctly
on pink. This important matter will
soon be settled.

yet been heard from by the committee
are Natalie Spencer, Florence Wil
liams, Bess Foster, Susan Harmon
and Esther Ord.
Annis Chaiken, the alumnae secre
tary, is expected to be present, and

for spectators, at the first dinner ot

GENERAL PERSHING
MAY BE HERE FOR
CADETS BANQUET
The Cadet Officers' association has
put out a booklet recently which gives
a general summary of the past and
present activities of the association.
It gives a full explanation of the pur
poses of the organization, as well as
an officers' roster of the University
regiment for this year. From a quota
tion from General Pershing it would
seem that he is expecting to be in
Lincoln for the annual "banquet of the
association, which would make that
affair all the more worth attending.
The last three pages of the booklet
are devoted to a very readable de
scription of the reserve officers' train
ing corps, by Captain Parker.
DR. HOWARD GIVES
LIBRARY TO UNI.
VALUABLE COLLECTION OF VOL
UMES FOR SOCIOLOGY SEMINAR
Worth $7,000 Suggest New Social
Science Building Be Called
"Howard Hail-
Dr. George E. Howard, head of the
department of political science, has
given bis private library, valued at
about $7,0000, and containing between
3,000 and 4,000 volumes, mostly of
history and sociology, to the Univer
ity. The books will be moved soon
to the sociology seminar room, law
104.
Doctor Howard came to the Univer
sity in 1878. He has been here eight
years longer than any of the other
present Instructors. He first had
charge of the history department, and
later was made head ot the social
science department.
It has been suggested that since
Doctor Howard was the first instruc
tor of social science at Xebraska, that
the new building Into which the de
partment will soon move should be
named "Howard Hall" instead of "So
cial Science Hall."
When Doctor Howard signified his
intention of resigning a few weeks
ago, In order to gain more time for
writing and research work, the Uni
versity regents unanimously request
ed him to stay at a salary equal to
that of the highest paid dean, with
provision for half time when he
wanted it.

GUARANTY OF $300 NECESSARY
TO INSURE PLAY
Junior Play Has Only Paid Out Once
Manager Rush Announces
the Plans
Tickets for tbe annual junior play
"Green Stockings" were placed on
Eale today at the College book store
and with student ticket-sellers, and
were accompanied by a call for action
upon tbe part of junior class mem
bers from Homer Rush, Columbus,
business manager.
Before the pLy can be produced It
is necessary for the class to raise $300
as a guaranty, making it necessary
that at least that much be collected
for tickets within a short time.
"Only once before, and that some
years ago, has tbe junior play paid
out," Rush said. "This year the guar
anty must be placed with tbe agent
of student activities before the play
can be produced."
That tickets will go fast seems to
be indicated by the popularity of the

"PACIFISTS" AFTER
. STUDENT SUPPORT
WILL CIRCULATE PETITIONS FOR
STUDENT SIGNERS TODAY
Challenge "Militarists" to Debate in
Temple Feb. 3 President Jen
sen Predicts Some Fun
An active campaign In the Univer
sity to push the anti-drill movement
will be begun today by the Unievrslty
league to abolish compulsory drill,
better known as the "pacifists'" club.
Petitions will be circulated today and
tomorrow to get as many students as
possible to join the cause against en
forced training in military science.
The second activity planned by the
league is a real, honest-to-goodness de
bate on the question. It has chal
lenged the rival league, supporting
military drill, to a debate in the Tem
ple theatre on the evening of Febru
ary 3, when, according to Anton H.
Jensen, '18, president of the "paci
fists," the "militarists" will get all
they have wanted in the way of a
debate on the points at issue.
It is hinted that several prominent
University men, who have not hereto
fore been mentioned as supporters of
the anti-drill movement, may take up
the oral weapons of the dove of peace
and assail the cause of "conscription."
If these men are unable to give their
time to preparing for the debate, how
ever. President Jensen and Wahlfred
Jacobsen, '18, will take the platform
for the "pacifists."
The challenge to debate sent by
the anti-drill society provides for im
promptu speeches from the floor, lim
ited to three minutes .duration, after
the close of the regular debate.
Regarding the activities of the
league formed to protest agalns drill.
Jensen says:
"The officers of the league are try
ing their best to keep hot-headedness
and ill-will out of the campaign. Stu
dents ought to be able to present different-sides
of a question without los
ing their heads because someone else
may have an idea better or worse
than they have, as the case may be."

Nebraska's Prospects for a Win Are
Good Team Expects Hard
Battle
The next' opponents of the Coro
husker basketball team will be tbe
Wesleyan quintet irom University
Place. The Methodists have a strong
team this year as usual although it
is doubtful If they are as powerful
a scoring machine as the ones which
have represented the Wesleyanltes
during the last three years.
Defeat has already been met by the
squad at the hands of the strong
Crelghton five. Creighton is said to
have one of the strongest teams seen
in recent years, however, and a de
feat at their hands is not Indicative
of weakness In a'team.
A Hard Struggle
The coach and members of the team
look upon this game as the one hard
est struggle of the year and the one
above all others they mcst win,
Wesleyan has held the upper hana
In basketball for the past three or
four years and the men feel it is
their duty, not to say privilege, to
pivo all they have In trying to end
th? Methodists' era of prosperity.
