CRY Ulll STUDENTS
Managers of Annual Excursion
Make Final Arrangements
for Big Trip.
Students Will Wind Up at Fon
tenelle Hotel After Day
of Sightseeing.
Arrangements for the Omaha Edu
cational Excursion, May 2nd, have
nearly been completed. Students
should register now In the group they
-wish to accompany, enabling those In
charge of the grouping to perfect the
system. Students may register all
xlay Thursday at the student activities
office. Round-trip tickets are now on
sale at the student activities office,
and if students purchase them here,
this will also facilitate the estimating
of the number of students who will
make the trip. This estimate should
"be made by Thursday evening, so that
if more than one special train will
be necessary to carry the visitors,
the railroad company can be notified
of this change.
Mr. Arthur Thomas, of the Omaha
bureau of' Publicity in the Omaha
Commercial Club, will arrive in Lin
coln today to put the finishing touches
on the trip, in co-operation with uni
versity officials. He will remain un
til Fridav morning, when he will
board the special train with the stu
fioniK for Nebraska's big city.
Professor O. W. Sjorgren of the
farm campus has handed in a new
groun which he suggests as a group
apolicable to short course men:
Stock yards and packing houses, In
1he forenoon.
John Deere Plow Company.
F.morson-Bramingham Company, in
the afternoon.
Farmers Exchange.
Signs for Groups
Signs are being painted for each
group so that when students begin to
arrive at the station they will know
exactly where certain groups are sta
tioned. This will avoid the usual
confusion which accompanies the rush
for information at the last moment
It will be necessary for students to
be at the station at 7:45 a. m. so that
the train can leave promptly at the
Tiour scheduled.
At 12:30 p. m. Professor Gramllch
will speak at the Stock Exchange,
and Walter Blunk will address the
students in the Auditorium at 7

MICHIGAN PLANS FOR A
INTRAMURAL GOLF MEET
With the game of golf becoming a
popular past time for the followers of
sport at Michigan, the outlook for a
university team this year is favorable.
In increasing numbers, the students
are participating in the game, while
Stekctee, one of the Varsity football
men. is also an ardent follower of the
green.
It is very probable that intramural
matches will be arranged before Inter
collegiate events will be participated
in. however, agitation for a university
team is expected to start soon.
More definite information on the
progress of those men who are out.
can be obtained at a later date, ac
cording to those in charge. Michigan

BENGSTON HAS HONOR
TO HEAR DEBATE ABROAD
A letter has Just been received by
Professor Caldwell from Prof. N. A,
Bengston, who Is a member of the
Foreign Trade Commission and is
now at Christiana, Norway. He writes:
"I had the honor of occupying a seat
in the diplomatic gallery at the open
ing of the Troutal's debate in this
building. It was an interesting oc
casion and much less formal than the
opening of the United States con
gress. I was surprised that they did
not have an opening prayer."
"Work Is progressing nicely. Amer
ican business on the boom, but I will
be glad to return to the university
when the time comes."

"FRIVOLOUS" NUMBER OF
AWGWAN NOW READY
Fourth Issue of University Comic
Magazine Contains Many
Clever Features.
The April number of the Awgwan
Is ready for subscribers this morn
ing. Those who have their names on
the list may call for them at Station
A and those who want single copies
may buy them there or at the College
Book Store or the city news stands.
This is the fourth issue of the uni
versity comic monthly and it is de
voted to the lighter side of life. It
is the "Foolish Frivolous" number
and all the follies of the "great" and
"Near-great" are brought to light
An "Impressionistic Painting of
Springtime" by Kirsch, managing edi
tor and university artist, properly pre
sents the multitudes of spring fancies
and spring follies, from spring hats
and bills, April showers and Easter
eggs to alarm clocks and notices from
the Executive Dean.
"A Phase of Inferno that Dante
Forgot," by the Hand Grenade artist
v. r!iiv Nphraskan nresents a

situation that the most imaginative
could hardly have deemed possible.
The Spring Fashion foremost "Show
ing Some American-made Fashions"
will no doubt place Awgwan among
the leading fashion magazines of the
country. The Impossibility of "Can it
Was" will be recognized immediately
even by the most casual reader of the
story by that title in this Issue of the
magazine.
Gavle Vincent Grubb's verses are
more versatile and amusing than ever
and the editor on his own page has

head.
The fifth number of the Awgwan

be delayed over the summer months
and be published next September.
UNIVERSITY AIR DEN
PURCHASE NEW PLANE
Lieutenant Brooks Harding and
Lieutenant Harold Buhl whose plane
was destroyed by fire In Its trial flight
last Tuesday, left Monday evening for
an eastern factory to purchase a five
passenger Curtiss plane. They will
send it to Lincoln by express and will
set it up ready to fly immediately.
Tbey may also purchase a small speed
plane, provided they can find the de
sired model.
The boys were not discouraged by
the accident, but immediately began
to negotiate with the Curtiss people
for a new plane. The model they In
tend to buy may be used either as an
airplane or a hydroplane. The ma
chine to be purchased Is much larger
than the one destroyed, carrying five
passengers Instead of two.
The machine has been booked for
a number of demonstration flights and
It is planned to make the initial flight

HARD SLEDDING FOR
ATHLETES EXPECTED
Prospects for Victory in Dual
Meet With Ames Aggies
Not Bright.
Nebraska Runners Confident
in
Copping Honors in Short
Distances.
The track team will go to Ames
Saturday to participate in the annual
dual match, and Coach Stewart feels
certain that the Cornhusker squaa
will be treated to a thorough clean
ing. The Ames team Is well balanced
In all events while Nebraska Is strong
only In the dashes and short dis
tances. The relay team should have no
trouble in capturing the mile and half
mile events while McMahon. uidds.
Fuchs. Ed. Smith and Bill Bryans are
sure to bring home juicy slices of the
20 and 440-yard dashes. More than
this can only be hoped for.
Ames is especially strong In the
half mile, mile and two mile runs ana
the lowans are slated to gather in
first and seconds in these events. It
is probable that Newman, MaGuire.
Egan. and Troendly will De enierea
in these races.
Gerhart may be counted on to win
points in the pole vault but he will
have strong competition from tne
Ames aviators. Nebraska will have
no entries in the jumps. Morearity,
Carson, and Moore, who won these
events Saturday, are all freshmen and
will have to wait for their chance
next year. In short, Ames is expected
to annex the field events en-masse.
The lowans-are also strong in both
hurdle races and Beckord. Flood and
vrrieht will have to do some tall
stepping to win out in this end of the
meet.
Ntxt Year's Prospects
Coach Stewart and Cornhusker
trark seers are looking toward the
season of 1920 with the expectation
of great things. Never before were
prospects of a championship team at
Nebraska gleam brighter than they do
for next season. Gibbs, McMahon and
and Ed. Smith will be on the scene
with more speed than ever. "Ruddy"
Fuchs is the only member of the win
ning four who is running his last sea
son on the varsity.
Added to this year's varsity several
old veterans will be back in the game.
Glen Graf. "Charley" Werner. "Curly"
McMahon. "Mike" Finney. Fred Dale
will don Cornhusker spikes again.
Furthermore the freshman squad will
furnish some championship material
w r A . AIn
in Carson, ueenng. mureain-j
in Carson, Deertng, Morearity and
Munn.
The five veterans mentioned above
would form a formidable team In
themselves, if they live up to their
old form. A glance at their recoras
will show what they have done.
"Charley" Werner
Werner holds the record of being
the best all-around track man that
Nebraska ever produced. Before Join
ing the army after the close of his
first year on the varsity he had accu
mulated the following records:
100 yard dash 10 seconds
220 yard dash 22 seconds
440 yard dash 50 4-5 seconds
High hurdles 16 seconds
Broad Jump 23 feet
High jump 5 ft. 10 In.
