The number ef frats entering teams is not exactly known, but the tournament will be a t-ood one and some keen rivalry will be worked off next week.

Second Year Basic Training Nec essary for Admission to the Senior Division. Telegram from the District In. spector for R. O. T. C. Throws . Light on Situation. Rumors have been circulating on the campus recently that the military work in the S. A. T. C. would not be granted. This report was Immediate ly nipped in the bud by action of the university officials, who declare that three hours credit would "be given for set vices rendered in the S. A. T. C. The Commandant is in receipt of a ttlegrani from the district inspector lor the R. O. T. C. department of edu cation, which endeavors to throw light nn the situation: "It is believed that a good deal of misunderstanding ex ists among institutions of this district as to the position of the committee with regard to granting credit to apply on the R. O. T. C. or for other services rendered in the military forces. The committee has had this matter under consideration for some time, and the fololwing wire is quoted for your in formation: "Credit for S. A. T. C. service or any service cannot be granted until con gressional authority can be obtained. The committee desires to recognize service in the army and has requested congressional action." Commandant Frankforter does not (iiiestion the authority of the univer sity on its stand in regard to compul sory military drill, but he is inclined to think that the congressional action ?. :ght cVnue matters. All r.en, hsw evtr, wishing to enter the senior divi sion of the R. O. T. C. unit must have the first and second year basic train ing. Students contemplating taking the advanced course should register at once in military training, 'A DOLL HOUSE' PARTY TO BE GIVEN BY DRAMATIC CLUB Play to Be Given in Honor of the Governor, Legislature and Faculty.

Kntry blanks for 'the state hi-'h school basketball tournament are be ginning to come in. Next Friday will be the last day tor the filing of en tries and next week willl find them flooding Dr. Stewart's office. The slow iK's with which the entries have come in so far is accounted for by the gen eral disoragnization of basketball schedules throughout the state. All indications point to as large a tournament as ever and perhaps a larger one than usual, when the high school men from alll over the stale begin to pour into Lincoln frcm March 12 to 15. It was (cared for a while that the prolonged closing of the schools on account of the "flu" would keep many teams from organizing and coming to th? tournament. These fears have ben dispersed, however, during the past week. Reports have come in from all over the Cornhusker state, although they have been slow in get ting started. DEAN STOUT ADDRESSES ENGINEERING SOCIETY The first meeting of the Kngineer ing Society was held February 2t and was addressed by Dean O. V. P. Stout, who spoke of his army experiences and made some general observations and deductions therefrom. The Engineering Society has insti tu'ed a new procedure and will here after have its regular meetings on the afternoon of the third Thursday in each month. It has been possible to work out the engineering schedules so that the period from 3:00 on is open for this course. Quoting A .M. Wellington, Dean Stout stated "that engineering schools would be benefited by being colored by military discipline. The technical demands of engineering training are rather closely related to the similar demands of military training. "It has been recognized that be cause of the demand of engineering discipline the young engineer is the best material out of which to make military officers. "One of Ihe Idifferences between millitary engineering and the severa non-military' branches of engineering, is the effect that costs play in influ encing plans.
