PUBLIC EXHIBITION OF

The art gallery is open every Sun
day afternoon from three to six and
it is hoped to hare. a concert by the
orchestra each week. Xwo paintings
hy Edmond Osthous, the famous paint
er of dogs, have just been hung, and
wiH be a leading feature of Sunday's
exhibit.
The fine arts school is planning an
exhibit of Carroll Beckwlth's repro
ductions of ancient and modern mas
ters, hand copies in oil. The pictures
r extraordinary and very instructive
to the student of art. They will after
wards be eent to various points of in
terest in the state, going first to Peru,
where they will be shown at the nor
mal school under the auspices of the
--m6uuy C1UO.
Patience May Be a
It Ceases To
Job was patient, or at least lie didn't
mind waiting; Saint Patrick was a
good 'bluffer for he fooled the Irish,
und there never yet was a worm or u
lane that didn't at some time turn.
Now the Cornhusker staff has .lob
looking like a street car niotorinan and !
Saint Patrick like a debutante, but the I
lane and the worm have a closer claim
to relationship for their "turns'" have
come. Long, long ago a call was is
sued for junior and senior likenesses
to proudly display in the Victory An
nual. "They must be in by the end of
this week." said the staff, while in
their hearts they knew that that was
just two weeks earlier than was nec
essary. The juniors and seniors lived
up to the fondest expectations of those
in charge and but very few pictures
were in at the end of the time stated.
Then the stair. -with great magnanl-.
mity. extended the limit two more
weeks thereby exhausting their re
serve fund of "ample time" and
frankly and truthfully told the public
that it would be very inconvenient to
have the pictures delayed after that.
Well, the world progressed as it ever
has at. the expense of time and when
BIG SAVING IN ATHLETIC
FINANCES FOR NEXT If EAR
Stewart Secures Substantial Re
duction in Guarantees to Vis
iting Football Teams
Through slashing reductions in
the financial guarantees to the visit
ing teams on next season's football
schedule, the board of regents, with
the co-operation of Coach Stewart,
have saved over $7,000. .Moreover,
Nebraska has lined up the strongest
set or games ever and the gate re
ceipts should be much higher than the
average.
In 1917 the visiting teams were giv
en the following financial guarantees:
Notre Dame 4-500
Syracuse 5.000
Iowa 3'500
Missouri f
Wesleyan 250
$16,260
The 1919 contrac ts are as follows:
Notre Dame.... 2.500
Syracuse 3.600
-1,000
Ames
. 700
Kansas
Oklahoma 1,500
$ 9.200
These figures make the financial out
look for next season look especially
bright. Here is a clear saving of
$7,000. but this is only part of the
story. The substitution of Oklahoma
for Wesleyan strengthens the sched
ule immensely and should prove a big
drawing card. Another advantage
from a financial standpoint is the fact
that our three foreign games are all
big and will draw large. Next season
we- tackle Minnesota. Missouri and
Iowa on their own ground, while in
1917 Michigan and Kansas furnished
the onlv foreign dates. The slicing
of the contract guarantees to almost
half, coupled with the strongest foot
ball schedule in her history, should
make Nebraska's 1919 season a spark
ling financial success.

Virtue, But
Be Such Saturday
the two weeks had passed, but one
hundred Juniors had done their part,
though eluborate post-cards were sent
to remind the slackers, and most of
the senior pictures were in. Then the
staffout of kindness or their hearts
and their love for the juniors granted
ror a third time what they could not
well afford a two-week extension.
Hiirlng this time they called up the
delinquents and asked for explana
tions. They were many and varied.
The girl who was having trouble with
a wisdom tooth and was suffering with
a swollen Jaw was advised to have a
profile taken and the man who couldn't
wear a collar on account of the boil
on his neck was told to borrow one of
the Bailors' middies. Any others who
are sorely puzzled will find sympathet
ic help and advice at the Cornhusker
office.
When the daylight of next Saturday
afternoon fades the gong will sound
and all those who have not passed
under the wire will not see their faces
in the year book. "Breathes there a
man with a soul so dead ?" Get
busy, juniors and seniors, it's really
up to you. you know!

Tread Straight and Narrow Path ,
Warns Editor of Evening Shun
"Woe be unto those who block my
path." warns I. Gifa Damm, as he
gathers his force of scandal-mongers
about him in preparation or the feared
edition of The Evening Slum.
"Conceal nothing from my faithful
followers." is .his advice. "Crimes
and social blunders, in numbers almost
inconceivable, have been committeed
on the campus this year and it is my
sacred duty to see that every evil-doer
Is brought to task." he affirmed in an
interview Just after a meal of beef
steak last evening. "Nothing but the

Thursday Evening at Temple
Theatre
The Dramatic club will present
Ilenrlk Ibsen's play, "A Doll House,"
Thursday evening at the Temple the
atre. This Is the first presentation
that the university dramatists have
made this year.
Miss Kthel Hartley is directing the
play. Leonard Woolen as Torvald
and Lea Lipsey as Norma Ilelmer,
play the leading roles. The other
characters are these:
Mr. Krogstad Mark Johnson
Dr. Rank Alfred Hlnze
Mrs. Linden Irma Wolfe
Anna Genevieve Addleman
Ellen Stella Mae Lewellen
The theme of the play is much more
serious than the name would indicate.
The story of the play runs as follows:
Norma Ilelmer had never been al
lowed to live her own life. Her fath
er made a pet of her. To her husband
she was merely a doll a plaything,
not a wife. Her three children were
something to amuse her. She did not

Return of Officers and Cabinet

With the return of the many ex-service
men to school, the university Y.

Practically all of the offi-
bach, general secretaray, from Camp
Hancock last Friday, the list of offi
cers is practically complete. The "Y"
has already begun work about school.
They have charge of university night
and work on it is progressing rapidly.
Walter H. Judd, president, is plann
ing the. formation of a new cabinet
immediately. Meetings will be com
menced again as soon as this is done.
Fred Alden, the industrial secretary,
has charge of shops and industrial
workers. He is making an extended
program of work which he intends to
carry out in the next few months.
Healy Remains Athletic Director
W. D-Healy, who was very active in
arranging athletic carnivals and gym
events of all kinds during the exist
ence of the S. A. T. C, is still busy
with this work. He has charge of
staging all athletic programs outside
of university athletics.

Several members of the Shun repor

confident that not an item will be ov

which criminals may redeem them

confess their sins to him. He will call
a meeting of his trusty cohorts in the

are turning their attention towards
the big Washington games on the
Armory floor next Friday and Satur
day, Feb. 7 and 8.
Washington is touted as one of the
strongest aggregations of basket toss
ers in the Missouri valley conference
despite the fact that she is bringing
up the rear in the percentage table at
this juncture of the season. Her star
center. Marquerd, w ho measures clear
of the six foot mark, was the main
reason for the Huskers' defeats at the
hands of the Rutherford quintet last
year when they dropped the first game
by a. score of 44 to 17 and the second
by a count of 23 to 9. This man Mar
querd was the unanimous choice for
all-valley center at the end of last sea
son and he is back in full force this
year. v
Friday Night a Closed Night
Friday night has been declared a
closed night in university circles by
Dean Amanda Heppner and the auth
orities want to see the old gymnasium
packed to the skylights with effer
vescent Cornhusker supporters. So
far. the crowds at the basketball
games haven't been big enough, to fill
one corner of a ping-pong ball and the
management has been forced to add
a free dance to the evening's bill in or
der to draw a crowd of any dimentions.
Friday evening will also contain a,
finale in the nature of a jazz treat,
but it will eclipse any of the barn
dances heretofore. The girls' athletic
association has promised to boost the
attendance a'nd help with the festivi
ties. The fraternity and sorority
slates wiped clean will set the student
body free to line up at the Armory'
door and click through the turnstiles
at a ten flat clip.
Doc Stewart has flourished the re
Auction blade and has cut the admhv
sion price to twenty-five cents for all
which entitled each to the basketball
game and the dance.
Complimentaries have 'been issued
to 150 members of the Nebraska legis
lature and the university students will
be on dress parade during the even
