SECOND NEBRASKA ROAD
INSTITUTE CLOSES TODAY
The Thursday session of the Second
Nebraska Road Institute proved to be
one of the most interesting confer
ences ever held on the university
campus. Large crowds attended both
the morning and afternoon meetings.
At 9 o'clock Captain R, L. Cochran
spoke in detail of the conditdion of
French roads. This subject Is un
usually interesting at this time when
everyone is so familiar with the ex
pression "Flanders mud." A paper
on tne consirucuuu ui "mai;
Roads in Government Cantonments
and at the Front" was then read by
Mr. Charles Collins, the Earrett Com
pany's representative at the confer
ence. 1 nis aa areas woo um uc
same lines as the talk by Captain
Cochran and the delegates manifested
jntorpst in the theme. Mr. J. L.
Housekeeper, representative of the
Portland Cement Association, talked
"The Construction and Mainte
nance of Concrete Highways," and
nlpndldlr outlined the many advant
ages of constructing highways of such
durable material.
Th institute closes today after a
successful week of mingled work and
pleasure. Mr. F. W. Parrott, auditor
f the Iowa State Hignway comrnis
in. Mr. George E. Johnson, state
engineer, and Mr. L. E. Adams, Doug
las county engineer, wiU speak this
morning. In the arternoon jur. j. i.
Donaghey, maintenance engineer of
the
Wisconsin State Highway Com-
missi
ssion. will speak on the character
Huskers and Grinnell Will Battle
for Second Place in Valley
Conference.
The Cornhuskers battle Grinnell
this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the
Armory for second place in the Mis
souri Valley Conference. With Schel
lenberg and Bailey out of the game
Nebraska has a hard scrap ahead of
her to win the two games necessary
to land second place. Grinnell has
been coming strong and will push the
Scarlet and Cream hard for second
honors in the conference.

TO OUR HONORED VISITORS.
The University of Nebraska is
proud this week to throw open
her gates in welcome to the hun
dreds of youthful athletes who
are here for the Great tourna
ment. The University takes a
peculiar interest in the welfare
of her students-to-be, and is de
lighted to see the splendid dis
play of athletic prowess exhibit
ed in the games. One day's time
spent in watching the contests,
is sufficient assurance to any
Cornhusker, that Nebraska will
continue for some time to come,
to produce championship teams.
The future of the University
lies in the hands of you boys
who are playing in the tourna
ment. You are the Cornhuskers
of the future, and the present
generation of Cornhuskers is
looking to you for great deeds.
We see in you the possibility of
great things, and take this op
portunity to acquaint you with
our school. We hope to'make
the University so attractive to
you that you will have no
thought of attending any other
university. You surely THINK
Neraska has them all beaten;
we KNOW it. So when you
board the train for college next
fall, or the fall after thit, be
assured that a welcome awaits
you in Lincoln.

The big tournament has now
reached the semifinals. All the weak
er teams have been eliminated and
every game today will be a real bat
tle. Interest in today's contests will
center on the University Place-Omaha
Commerce battle. Both Omaha
teams were victorious yesterday and
unless Lnl. Place stops the Commerce
lads, the trophy is sure to land in
the metropolis.
Shelton easily eliminated Norfolk
in the afternoon session of class A,
by a count of 17 to 9. The one sided
results indicate that the big teams
are at last pitted against each other.
Omaha Central ran away from the
Fremonters 17 to 7, while the School
of Agriculture counted but one lone
tally against the School of Com
merce, and University Place showed
its strength by accumulating 21 points
against 8 for Schuyler. Omaha Cen
tral may find the Shelton machine a
hard nut to crack and Omaha Com
merce is sure to have her hands full
with the University Place artists.
Hundreds Turned Away
Coach Stewart, director of the
tournament said: "We turned away
a thousand from the Armory last
night." The poor, much slandered, lit
tle old gym is surely being over
worked in its old age. It groaned
and creaked under the strain of the
multitude who packed its every nook
and crany. The desperate spectators
MISS BURNER MAKES PLEA
FOP. STUDENT DEMOCRACY
"While the recent war was fought
to make the world safe for democra
cy, students have not done what they
could to bring about a democratic con
dition on the campus. There are
three things that make for war in the
hearts of man greed, selfishness and
disregard of others, and as long as
they exist there will not be an end
of war."
This was the theme of the talk
given by Miss Oolooah Burner on the
subject "Campus Democracy and Uni
versity Spirit," to a large audience
at convocation yesterday morning in
the Temple. That the campus is not
only a training camp for life but is a
section of life itself is her opinion.
and as the student is on the campus,
so will he be in his later life. As long
as privileges are open to, honors "en
joyed by, and offices controlled by a
few, democracy is Impossible.
Most of the things Miss Burner
talked about she had beard discussed
on the campus during her stay here.
People have said that students were
classified according to the organiza
tion to which they belonged, and that
if a student did not wear a pin, be
was not spoken to by those who did.
Another cr iticism she had heard was
that Nebraska did not have the right
kind of spirit "University spirit Is
to a campus what patriotism is to a
nation " she said.
Race prejudice is another thing
that hinders democracy, according to

swarmed over the rafters and even
hung on the basket boards. Every
scat was taken thirty minutes before
the opening of the game. A large del
egation from University Place came
early and occupied about half of one
side.
Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock,
the athletic association called a meet
ing of the school principals for the
purpose of hearing complaints against
the Lincoln hotel accommodations.
Lincoln is cramped for room this
week on account of the two big con
ventions in town besides the tourna
ment. The high school athletes were
promised rooms at 75 cents each, but
on account of the congestion have
been crowded eight and ten in a room.
This savored of profiteering to the
school men and thus the protest was
made. Secretary Whitten of the Lin
coln Commercial club promised that
next year every high school man
would get a room at 50 cents per cap

BASIC MILITARY DRILL
. FOR ADVANCED COURSES
Chancellor Avery received a letter
Thursday from the War Deartment
stating that in view of the fact that
the Morrill act does not make mili
tary training compulsory for all stu
dents in land-grant colleges, educa
tional authorities are free to excuse
from such military training students
who have covered this work in other
ways.
As far as admission to the ad
vanced course is concerned however,
educational institutions are very defi
nitely limited by the provisions of the
national defense act which permits
only those students who have com
pleted two years of the basic coiiruft .
or who have completed a course sub
stantially equivalent in an Institution
where the professor of military sci
ence and tactics has been detailed by
the war department It is regretted
that credit cannot be given towards
advanced courses for services per
formed during the war. The officials
of the war department are continuing
their efforts to secure an adjustment
of the question.
