SPRING WEATHER WRECKS
CO-ED FIGHTING SPIRIT
University Women Fail to Take
Advantage of Best of all
Outdoor Sports
Whether spring weather has over
come their spirits or whether they
have an aversion to the fresh air
or whether they have simply for
gotten all about the fun, can not be
determined but for some reason the
co-eda have lost the peculiar amount
of vim which they possessed during
the basket hall season and but few
are turning out to make base ball a
real go in athletic circles this year.
It is quite probable however that
by tomorrow the fever of the base
ball fans will have spread sufficiently
about the campus to guarantee a
good attendance at the next practice.
Unless such prove true predictions
are that it will not be possible to
form two teams for practice for the
numbers so far are not great enough
to compose two nines. Those signed
up on the bulletin board are expected
ot turn out for regular practices and
thus promote this the most ideal of
all the co-ed sports.

SECOND SERIES OF
TRYOUTS HELD TODAY
Aspirants to Nebraska Track
Team Find Increased Com
petition for Drake Relays
The second of the series ot tryouts
for the Drake Relay Carnival teams
will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock
on the Athletic field. Last Saturday
when the first tryouts were held, the
weather conditions and due to the fact
that moHt ot the men took part In Hie
Liberty Loan Parade, a number ot
the members of the team were unable
to be out on the track in the after
noon. However, the tryouts were of
an exceptional good caliber then and
with the addition of the other men on
the squad the events this afternoon
should prove very interesting. The
events for which places will be com
peted will be places on the four re
lay teams and in the 100-yard dash.
There are a number of new men com
ing out every week and it looks as
though Nebraska would turn out a
cracker-Jack of a track team.
The spring football practices are
still in progress, although most of
the men are out for the different
places on the track team, Coach
Stewart is very anxious that as many
of the men who are planning on get
ting out for the team next fall turn
out now and get the advantage of the
spring workout.

One ot Most Impressive Programs
Ever Prepared to Be Presented
Name of Ivy Day Queen Withheld
Ivy Day, the bis annual spring event
of the University calendar with the
customary Ivy planting, speech mak
ing, poetry spelling and queen crown
ing, in addition to a big special fea
ture, a patriotic pageant written by
Dr. II. B. Alexander will be held May
11 on the city campus in the morn
ing, and a big vaudeville program,
supper and dancing at Capital Beach
In the afternoon. The climax to the
afternoon festivities will be the tap
ping the Innocents and Black Masque.
Indications point to the biggest and
best program ever given on Ivy Day.
The patriotic pageant is a new thing
and will be one of the big numbers
ot the celebration. The Interest in
the day's events Is heightened by the
question of who the May Queen will
be and who will be chosen for the
Innocents and Black Maque. Both
facts are withheld from the inquisi
tive public until the events come off.
The May Queen is the choice of all
the senior girls and to be elected for
this office is one of the most coveted
honors which come to University
students. To be chosen for member
ship in the Black Masque, the honor
ary senior girls' sorority, and the In
nocents .the honorary senior boys' fra
ternity is also one of the highest and
most coveted honors to be awarded
to a student. The members of the
latter organizations themselves do not
know who they will be and so all the
mom tonse excitement Is aroused.
The morning festivities held out of
doors on the ampus will be inaug
urated by the presidents of the sen

MUST REGISTER FOR
SENIOR PLAY TODAY
Tryouts Will Be Held Immedi-ately--Men
are Especially
Needed for the Cast
The senior play committee has
planned to begin work on the senior
play immediately, although the class
Is somewhat handicapped because of
war conditions, it decided at Its last
meeting that this tradition should be
upheld at all costs.
Today the senior play committee
Is asking that every senior who wishes
to see his class uphold the tradition,
to register for the play tryouts. This
applies especially to the men. There
are very few senior men left in school
and upon them will depend in a large
measure, the success of the play.
Registration for the tryouts will be
made at the Dramatic Arts room, U
106, today only.

Asks Chancellor for Terms Un

Acting Chancellor Hastings has re

physical testing apparatus on hand
at the University.
He is also requested to state upon
what terms this apparatus could be
Bold to the government or for what
period It could bo loaned. It Is rea

government must need much such
equipment at this time and the Uni

sible In supplying the necessary ma

Nebraska University Base Hospital
Carnival Best Affair of Season
All religious scruples will be let
down and Joy will be unrestrained at
tho Nebraska University Base Hos
pital carnival at the Armory next Sat
urday night. Two hundred fifty dol
lars are to be raised by lottery wheels,
fish ponds, white elephant sales and
auctions to go to the Nebraska hos
pital unit now in training at Ft. Dea
Moines, in preparation to service In
France.
Every student and organization In
school must dig up all the childhood
toys, trinkets, nick nacks and play
things he can lay his hands on and
turn them over to the carnival com
mittee. Students have accepted with firm
resolution the task of doing at least
something for the only official repre
sentative unit of the University the
Nebraska Base Hospital and the
prophecy of yesterday seems already
fulfilled the last of the University
parties for the year, the Base Hospital
Carnival to be held in the Armory
Saturday night, is to be the biggesf
and best of the year.
The entire proceeds of the carnival
will ko to nurchase equipment tor the
hospital unit now stationed at Fort
Des Moines, Iowa, in a two months
period of training before their leave
for France. The unit at present has
scarcely its required minimum ot
equipment and the University has as
yet done nothing for the fifty men who
left school two weeks ago.
Rather than conduct another tag
dav on the caroDus the committee de
cided that students be given a chance
to get together in the work and at tne
same time be able to get some added
pleasure out of the giving. For that
reason there have been provided
raffle wheels of all descriptions and
auction sales and an endless variety
of fun-machines to which the students
may contribute what they consider
their share of the equipment fund.
Students and faculty members or
others interested have been .asked to
contribute articles to be sold to the
auction committee. These are to be
left at the Student Activities' office.
The decision to ask for contributions
from the students came from the be
lief that there were many who would
want to give who did not have the
money but possessed some article
which they felt they could give. It Is
hoped that every student who can
possibly give any thing that could be
raffled off or sold at auction Saturday
evening will leave whatever they have
at the activities office as five hundred
articles are necessary to Insure the
success of the carnival.
