Sturm said that this was undoubted ly the section of the book that made the widest appeal, and that the staff was most anxious to have it represen tative. He said that it depended upon the students themselves, however, and he urged everyone to feel free to sub mit photos and accounts of little inci dents to him at once. The student activities' office of the Cornhusker will receive contributions for the student life section. Wireless That Reached Key West May Get a Government License The wireless equipment set up by students of electrical engineering on the roof of the electrical engineering laboratories may become a govern ment licensed wireless if present Plans work out. Additions have been made to the apparatus- from time to time, and the one kilowatt machine now has a sending radius of 900 miles. Key West, Fla., and Arlington, Va.f have been reached by student opera tors at the sending key, and once or twice communications have been estab lished with vessels in the Atlantic. On the receiving end, messages nave come from all over the continent "d occasionally broken fragments have been received from Hanover, Germany, although these were not at distinct If the government license is granted FRANK W. TAYLOR 8END3 PRELIMINARY SKETCHES OF ORIGINAL EXHIBITION In addition to the exhibit of original illustrations, Frank Walter Taylor has sent to the art department twelve of the preliminary sketches. Each sketch has been hung beside the finished illus tration and they are especially inter esting for they show the form that the picture first took in the artists' mind as compared to the finished pro duct. The present exhibition in the art gallery will be open until March 5. ENLISTED RESERVE OPEN TOSTUDENTS Men With Technical Education Eligi ble For Special Reserve An nounced by War Department' A reserve corps to be known a the enlisted reserve corps has been an nounced by the" war department for the purpose of securing additional en listed men for military service with the engineer, signal, and quartermas ter corps and the ordnance and medi cal departments of the regular army. This reserve corps Is to be open to all men between the ages of 18 and 45 who have scientific knowledge in the above fields, subject to the ex amination prescribed by the war de partment. A knowledge of actual mili tary tactics or manual is not required. The pay of those serving in the en listed reserve corps is to be the same as the pay for those serving in the regular army and runs only during the time of their actual service. In addi tion to this amount of pay each mem ber of the reserve corps will be fur nished by the United States the en tire service uniform, which is the same as that of the enlisted men of the regular army reserve except the corps insignia. The uniform is issued to the reservist when he reports for his first annual training, but remains the property of the United States. Drill With Regulars For the purpose of administration, training and equipment, organizations and individual members of the en listed reserve corps are to be subject to the orders from the commanding general in the territorial department in which they reside. All members of this corps are required to train an nually for a period of not less than fifteen days with the regular army. The Durnose of this training, accord ing to the war department. Is to verify the number and determine the physi cal and moral fitness of reservists for service in the war; to eliminate the undesirables and those not dependable in time of war; to familiarize re servists with methods to be followed if mobilized in time of war or threat ened hostilities; to perfect the organi sation of authorized units of the en listed reserve corps and to instruct reservists in the fundamentals of mili tary service and, so far as may be (Continued to Page Two) to the local station, the sending ap paratus will probably be increased Rtlll more and messages may be sent to points still farther from this mid land plain. The receiving apparatus on all wireless equipments is the same, but the sending radius depends upon the individual apparatus. Electrical engineering students may arrange a series of communications with ocean liners and with the various wireless stations on the American coast In case the sending apparatus is strengthened enough, it is possible that the local station will be able to get in touch with European points, although a sender with that power will probably not be placed here. It is ex pected, however, that clearer mes sages will be received from other stations. MIXER FUND PAYS fORJELEGATE Expenses of Albert Bryson to Purdue Meeting Borne by General Mixer . Committee The general mixer committee of the University yesterday voted to pay the actual traveling expenses of Albert BrjRon to Purdue university, where he goes this week end as the delegate of Nebraska to the national conference of representatives of student councils. The appropriation from tho mixer fund will amount to slightly more than $40. The, mixer committee took this action after a discussion of the advisa bility of asking different organizations to contribute. Since the mixer com mittee Is as near a representative student body as there Is on the cam pus, and since Its fund has accumu lated from small surpluses at the dif ferent mixer parties, and so was con tributed by the general student body, it was thought that this fund was the best available to pay the expenses of the one who goes as the representa tive of the whole University, on a matter that is of greatest concern to the student body as a whole. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ATJECEPTION Deutscher Geselliger Verein and the Deutscher Schauspiel Verein En tertain Legislators The reception for the legislators given by the Deutscher Schauspiel Verein and the Deutscher Geselliger Verein at the Temple last evening was attended by about 150 persons.

Before the play Magdelene Wupper, '17, president of the Deutscher Gesel liger Verein welcomed the visitors and told of the purpose of the club. Gerhard Naber, '17, president of the Deutscher Schauspiel Verein told of the purposes of the dramatic club and of its trips Into the state. The orches tra of the two clubs furnished music for the play. After the play the club members and visitors went to the Y. W. C. A. room to get acquainted. Dr. Winifred Hyde, associate professor in the philosophy department sang several German songs. Refreshments were served.

CONVOCATION Rev. S. Mills Hayes, pastor of the Church of the Holy Trinity, of Lincoln, will speak on "The Effect of the War Upon American Civilization," at Con vocation this morning in Memorial halt at 11 o'clock. Mr. Hayes Is a very scholarly man, and an interesting speaker, well known to the older stu dents, as he has spoken at Convoca tion several times before. Governor Keith Neville will speak in Memorial hall a week from today. PLAN REMODELING OF OLD CHEM. HALL College of Pharmacy and Department of Physiology Will Occupy Build ing by September Tentative plans have been made for the remodeling of the old Chem istry building into quarters for the college of pharmacy and the depart ment of physiology, and Its occupa tion by September 1, according to Dean R. A. Lyman. The two large laboratories will be used for general work in pharmacy and physiology; the position of the library and offices will not be etianged. The fourth floor, now not In use, will be converted Into a drug-drying and curing shop and apparatus in stalled for milling purposes. In the top of the building little houses will be built to keep the animals that are used for experimental purposes. Of the two laboratories on the first floor, the west will be for analytical work in pharmacy and the ast for micro scopical investigation in crude drug plants. The two departments will hold their summer session work in their pres ent quarters, but will begin the next year's work in the new building. HINDMARSH FIRE RETARDS ANNUAL But Cornhusker Management Will be up to Schedule in Ten Days The recent fire at Hindmtfrsh's studio, where a good number of the photographs for the 1917 Cornhusker were made, has put the book almost a fortnight behind schedule, according to Charles M. Frey, editor-in-chief. All of the pictures destroyed are being replaced as fast as possible there are five staff photographers working now and it is estimated that the manage ment. will be caught up with its schedule within ten days. There is a possibility that the book may be delayed and not Issued on its publication day, May 1, but that possi bility rests entirely with the students, Sororities and organizations, accord' Ing to Frey, have been slow in their Cornhusker pictures. The time limit has already been extended once on these photographs, and it is probable, if the management is forced to extend it again, that the book will be delayed The problem of getting these photo graphs to the engraver in time for the printers of the book is the only propo sition which must be solved to permit the annual to meet its date of publi cation. The editorial matter is com pletely up to schedule, according to Frey. Among the new features now in the hands of the editor which will make the 1917 Cornhusker a distinctive an nual are a summer section and a re juvenated faculty section. The mill tary department of the book has also been treated in a novel way and more completely as well. The outstanding feature, however, the one which the management has stressed above every thing else, is the student life section, which will contain, it is said, some (Continued to Page Two) SIGMA DELTA CHI PLEDGES FOUR MEN inurnalistie Fraternity Takes Four New Members for the Second Semester Sigma Delta Chi, Journalistic fra tfmitv. announced the following pledges yesterday: Fred W.

MISKER WRESTLERS SPRING SURPRISE Defeat Iowa 24 to 14, in Meet at Iowa City Ames Is Next Opponent In defeating the Iowa wrestling team by the score of 24 to 14 last Sat urday night the Nebraska wrestlers sprung a great surprise. Coach Rutherford took a green bunch of men to Iowa expecting nothing better than a close score at the best. Only two men on the squad had previously wrestled in varsity contests. Captain Otoupalik and Brian were the only ones counted on as probable winners before the meet. The new men showed up in mex- pected form and came through with only one actual defeat and that one due to an injury to Maloney, in the form of a large boil. Burgess, the first man on the mat, set to work immediately and in six minutes and ten seconds had his op ponent's shoulders on the mat. This feat was the more remarkable because of the fact that his opponent was Par- ret, western intercollegiate champion last year. The events were wrestled in three seven-minute periods. When it came time for the second round in the first bout, Coach Rutherford re fused to allow Burgess to go on the mat because of a bad ear he had re- ceived in the first encounter. This made it necessary to forfeit the match to Iowa. Brian Shows Speed In the second match Brian had his man on his back In the short time of five minutes and thirty-five seconds The Nebraskan could not secure a second fall however, but was awarded the match at the end of 21 minutes In the 145 pound class, Anderson, the Cornhusker representative, was unable to secure a fall. He out - wrestled his opponent, however, and was given the decision at the end of the third period. Fuchs was the next man to wrestle and he came off with the cleanest record of all, throwing his man twice in 16 minutes and 48 seconds. Captain Otoupalik followed, getting a decision over his man at the end of 21 minutes of wrestling. Maloney in the heavyweight class was the only man to suffer defeat and his was the result of the boil men tioned before. The Iowa man worked to the greatest possible extent on the Burglar Passes For Co-Ed Robs Gamma Phi Beta House A bold, bad burglar entered the it is said, there was more cash than front door of the Gamma Phi Beta house, 330 North Fourteenth street, about 10 o'clock Saturday evening, while members of the sorority were giving their annual formal party at the Lincoln hotel, walked upstairs, and took fifty odd dollars in cash which he found in rooms on the sec ond floor. He then walked down stairs again and out the front door. He was heard by the maid, who was alone in the house, but she mistook him for one of the girls who had re turned to the house to get something she had forgotten. That his visit was a hurried one, despite his cool en trance and exit is proved by the fact that his Bearch was careless and that he did not go to the third floor, where, TICKETS TODAY FOR UNI, NIGHT SEAT SALE BEGINS AT TEMPLE THIS MORNING Faculty Make Reservations at 11 O'Clock; Students at 1 O'Clock Uniform Price of Ten Cents Seat sale for University night to be produced next Saturday will begin at 11 o'clock this morning, when tickets will be sold to members of the faculty. Studouts will be given their first chance at the admission cards at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The University night management has announced that reservations, which are free, come with the ticket, selling at a uniform price, ten cents. Only the main floor of the auditorium will be reserved, although the number of tickets which will be sold for the balconies will be limited. Each stu dent will be allowed to purchase but one ticket, unless he buy one for an other student, In which case he will be requested to give the name so that it may be checked off the class lists, which will be used for a record of sale. In case a number of students desire seats together it will be neces sary for them to be together in the line of purchasers. The management has attempted to simplify the process as much as possi ble by eliminating the necessity of reserving the seats after tickets have been purchased. Ample provisions for the rush of students at the first open ing of the ticket sale this afternoon have been made. Auditorium Has Larger Capacity The auditorium has been secured Instead of the Oliver because of the much greater seating capacity. In past years, there has always been an overflow of some two or three hun dred howling students who have been turned away from the Oliver, and this the management hopes to remedy by renting the largest hall in the city. All of the seats will be reserved, which, it Is thought, will lessen the desirability of the balconies some what. In the selection of stunts, the man agement and the committee In charge of the program have endeavored to raise the plane of the productions and lyet rob the night of none of its his- I toric jollity. This, they believe, they 1 have succeeded in doing. boil and was greatly aided in obtain ing his two falls by those operations. Ames Next Saturday Week The Cornhuskers are to wrestle the Ames Aggies on a. week from Satur day. The Aggies are a veteran bunch and much feared by Rutherford. They defeated Iowa by a larger score than did the Nebraskans. Ames will have an added advantage from the fact that their coach saw the whole meet at Iowa and will know Just what kind of opposition his men will have when they visit Nebraska. on the second. In one room the burglar found a small sum in the top drawer of a dresser, but disdained to search the others, in one of which was hidden a larger amount. Members of the Boror ity said yesterday that it would be all right to tell him this now, because if he comes again, he will have to search long and hard to make his visit profitable. This is the first Teal robbery which has occurred in any fraternity or sorority house this year. Early last fall, a man was reported to have reached a hand In through one of the lower-floor windows of the Kappa Kappa Gamma house and to have taken a pair of silk hose and a silver hand purs' containing five dollars.
