and Revenge Defeat by Ames
Otoupaiik Shining Light
The Nebraska wrestling team re
turned froro'the'" Western Intercol
legiate meet at Iowa City with several
things to be proud of. The first was
the winning of second place in part
nership with Indiana, the second Is
the partial revenge on Ames and the
third is the fine showing o( Barnes,
Fuchs and Anderson, the three new
men on the team.
Captain Otoupaiik comes in for the
greatest share of the praise because
he is undisputed champion in bis
class. "Otle's" official title is West

opponents was put on bis back In
slightly over two minutes while In the
finals the fall was secured in a little
tetter than four minutes.
Barnes, who wrestled through to

REIGN OF GALLERY
GOD PAST HISTORY
This is Belief of Executive Dean Eng
berg Entire Theatre Open for
Kosmet Play
That the turbulent reign of the gal
lery god, an individual characterized
as anarchistic in tendencies and loud
in manner, is past, is the opinion of
Executive Dean C. C. Engberg, who
gave this opinion in an interview with
the business manager) of "The
Diplomat," Kosmet Klub play.
Because of the disturbance caused
by a few students in the galleries in
past University performances, the
management of the Kosmet play had
considered sacrificing the gallery re
ceipts to Insure peace and enjoyment
for the rest of the audience, but after
talking with Dean Engberg, it was
decided to open the entire theatre.
The gentlemanly conduct of the im
mense crowd of students at University
night. Dean Engberg said, was proof
that the days of such behavior were
past
Rehearsals for "The Diplomat" are
reaching the crucial stage with pro
gress which encourages the belief
held by those who are coaching the
play that it will more than repeat the
pronounced success it made in 1912.

"THE
Give The Track Team A
Chance, You Nebraskans
Nebraska University needs men to fight her battles in track and
field meets for the next three years.
A track meeting will be held in S 102, basement of the Armory, at
11 o'clock this morning. Every man who hat ever sprinted, run,
jumped orut the shot, and every man who thinks that he could do
those things, and every man who has never tried it but is willing to do
so under competent coaching, is wanted at that meeting.
That means that there are mighty few Nebraska University men
who are not wanted at the track meeting.
The time has come for this Comhusker school of ours to step out
In front in track, just as it has In other forms of competition.
Nebraska is feared In the valley for her football teams, her debat
ers, her wrestlers but her track team has no.t held the same position.
The fault, you Cornhuskers, is in the indifference of your men to
one of the best forms of athletics.
This must be changed.
Go to that track meeting today. Let Coach Stewart, Guy Reed,
Zumwinkle, Overman and a few others put the proposition to you.
Give them, give your school a chance before you decide against it.
Remember, west basement of the Armory, S 102, at 11 o'clock this
morning.
CAPTAIN BREWING
WINS GYM, HONORS
TAKES FIRST PLACE IN WESTERN
INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET
Nebraska Team Places Third Drew
ing's Work a Pretty Exhibition
Baehr Third in Fencing
Clyde Drewing, captain of the Uni
versity gymnastic team, won the high
est honors possible in western col
legiate gymnastic circles when he
took first place in the Western Inter
collegiate meet at Iowa City last Sat
urday. Frank Adkins placed third.
The Nebraska team, handicapped by
the inexperience of several of its mem
bers, won third place in the team con
test. Max Baehr also won third place
in fencing on the score of individual
points.
Drewing is the first western gymnas
tic champion Nebraska has had since
1909, when D. C. Mitchell took first
place. Drewing's work in all the events
was remarkable, but his superior per
formance In tumbling won the cham
pionship for him. Until this event he
was slightly behind the skillful Jap
anese gymnast, Horlmura, of Illinois.
The contest between Drewing and
Horimura was one of the most excit
ing features of the entire meet.
The Nebraska gymnastic team, com
posed of Drewing, Adkins, Giffin and
Weaver, made a good showing in win
ning third place. The University of
Chicago with a veteran team placed
highest and was closely followed by
the University of Wisconsin.
In the fencing events, Max Baehr
tied for first place with the foils, and
won second place in the broad sword
event. His score on the basis of indi
vidual points, however, entitled him
only to third place.

AMERICA IN WAR
FORJEMOGRACY
PROF. FLING SAYS ISSUES OF CON
FLICT ARE OF IMPORTANCE
Democracy and the Rights of Small
Nations at Stake the United
States delayed Long Enough
America is now in the world war,
fighting for democracy and for the
right of the small nation to its own
nationality and control of its own life,
Professor Fred Morrow Fling, head of
the department of European history,
declared in a lecture Monday morning.
"We have entered the war," he said.
"It is a simple matter of formally de
claring it." One of the main issues is
democracy and the right, of small
nations to govern their own life, and
this is our business. "It Is incon
ceivable for us to say we'll stand aside
and wait until it is over," declared
Professor Fling.
I This is a struggle between the two
! conceptions of government, that which
j thinks that society as a whole must
' be treated as children, not allowed to
'think freely, not allowed to criticise
(the activities of those in control, and
on the other hand, that conception
j which believes in power exercised by
government through consent of the
J governed.
A Blow at Pacifists
j "The whole future of society de
pends upon which of these two con-
ceptions is finally triumphant." Profes
Jsor Fling declared. "The pacifists
think that the way to do it is to taw
about it, to tell the monarchs how
wrong they are and that then they'll
stop. History doesn't bear out this as
sumption. History shows that these
things have been obliged to fight for
their existence. Even within these
social groups, men who saw the fallacy
of absoluteism. had to appeal to force
to make the change. Through a thou
sand years the dominant group, unwill
ing to yield to the majority, has pre
cipitated civil and international wars
in order to maintain the old Instltu
lons and even to extend these institu
tions. Professor Fling asserted that those
who interpret this war and everything
else as purely economic, an,d every act
of humanity an act of enlightened sel
fishness, are wrong.
"Remember that sentiment Is one of
the biggest things of life," he said.
"You can't sacrifice to anything finer
than this."

PREPERATIONS FOR WAR
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLACING OF NATION ON WAR-TIME
BASIS HAS ITS EFFECT UPON THE STUDENT BODY
First Movement Within the University is Perliminary Formation of a
Woman's Auxiliary to Naval Reserve Students Ordered
to Mobilize by Call for Guardsmen
The first definite movement in the
placing of the nation on a war basis
was felt by the University yesterday
when a number of students, members
of the Fourth Nebraska national guard
regiment were ordered to mobilize with
their companies for police duty in
case of hostilities. Following closely
upon this came the announcement of
the preliminary organization within
the University of a woman's auxiliary
to the naval reserve, whose purpose
it shall be to organize the women not
only in the University but in all the
states in the western division to give
aid if the country is plunged into war.
A preliminary committee, with Alice
Proudfit, an alumna, as chairman, and
six other University girls as members,
will meet at 11 o'clock today at the
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house to
perfect preliminary organization. The
scope of the activities of the auxiliary
when thoroughly organized would in
clude nursing, stenographic services,
making of supplies, and the replacing
of men in this section called from
offices to war.
L. W. Trester, '19, chairman of the
western division of the naval training
association, sanctioned the organiza
tion of the auxiliary- It is planned to
thoroughly organize in the Uiiversity
first and then to spread out into the
home towns of the girls who have be
come members, and in this way to
gradually perfect the organization
until, it is hoped, it will reach
throughout the western states.
Men Who Will Go
No less significant than the first
steps toward the organization of the
women's auxiliary is the problem
which faces the men of the University
today. With the order preparing the
nation to wage a full-fledged war now
being put into effect, the proposition of
TWO MORE DAYS OF
SALESJAMPAIGN
Today and Tomorrow Last Opportuni
ties to Buy 1917 Comhusker at
$3 Campaign Progressing
Today and Wednesday are the only
days left in which copies of the 1917
Cornhusker can be bought for the
regular subscription price of $3, for
after 5 o'clock tomorrow the book
will cost $3.60. The additional fifty
cents has been attached to books sold
after the close of the campaign to pay
for extra work in filling orders and
the accompanying routine.
With twenty one coeds working for
the prizes of twenty-, ten-, and flve-dol
lar gold pieces, the sale of books yes
terday, the first day of the campaign,
indicates that sales records are about
to be broken, according to DeWltt
Foster, business manager.
Orders for the book may be placed
with any one of the following twenty
one co-eds: Pansy Reed, Larue Gil
lern, Helen Howe, Julia Qulnby, Fae
Breese, Rose Anderson, Irene John
son, Bertha Fox, Susanna Jobst, Helen
Young, Elinor Bennett, Marian Wat

going to war seems particularly big.
At least five students have been called
to mobilize at the home stations of
their companies by the President's
order for the services of the Fourth
Nebraska regiment. Kenneth Y. Craig,
'18, of Omaha, and Barlow Nye,
'IS, of Kearney, will probably go
to Kearney today to mobilize with
Company L there. Craig is second lieu
tenant of that company and Nye is
first sergeant.
Roy S. Bradley, '18, of York, second
lieutenant of Company M, will also go,
to mobilize with his company, and
Floyd Smith, '17, is likely to go. Arch
ibald Hoefer, ex-'18, of Friend, a mem
ber of the Fourth regimental band, is
another who goes to join his hom?
company.
Archer L. Burnham, '17, of Stanton,
colonel of the cadet regiment, has not
been affected by the call as yet, for
his term of service in the guard ended
early in the month, and he has not re
enlisted up to this time. He has not
decided just what he will do in regard
to his service. Adrian Brian, '17, is
now on a temporary discharge to allow
him to finish his college course in
June, and in July he expects to take
the examination for second lieutenant
in the regular army.
A communication from the adjutnt
general's office to Captain Sam M.
Parker, commandant of cadets in the
University, points out the fact that
men who have had little or no military
training, if they be college graduates
or college seniors, may be recom
mended for commissions for reserve
officers of the line. This is considered
significant by many, who believe it
will be possible for not a few Univer
sity students who enlist in case of war
to receive commissions instead of go
ing as privates.
