EXCUSES TO BE GIVEN
ONLY BY MEDICAL BOARD
After this morning, all excuses for
illness will be granted only by the
Medical Supervision Board in Phar
macy Hall. Miss Heppner and Dean
Kngberu will grant only incidental ex
cuses. The Medical Supervision Board is
composed of Dr. Philbrick, Miss Dy

of all excuses will be kept by Miss
Dykemu and all illnesses will be in
vestigated by the iwo physicians and
excuses granted by tin nu In the case
of long illnesses, the friends of the
student must report the Illness to
either Dr. Philbrick or Dr. Webb. Miss
Heppner and Dean Kngberg will have
charge of the giving of all other ex

STUDENT SUPPORT
Vikings and W. A. A. Members
to Assist in "Rag" Sub
scription Campaign.
University students must rally to
the support of the Daily Nebraskan
if they are to be assured of a daily
paper tliat will conform to the stand
ards of campus papers of the past.
The subscription is far below normal,
according to the statement made last
evening by the circulation manager.
Several hundred subscriptions must be
written during the next few days to
insure adequate financial hacking for
the publication. At the present time
about four hundred students are carry
ing yellow receipts. Those slips must
be presented at the station "A" before
the papers are given out.
Starting today students will he
called on to show a new brand of
Cornhusker spirit by subscribing for
the "Rag." The price of only $1.25 is
insignificant because all the latest
campus news written in a crisp and
interesting manner appears each day
in the columns of the paper.
A blockade is now declared and it
is the circulation manager's plan to
throw a drag-net over the entire cam
pus. Solicitor?, expect to comb the
interior of every building on the city
and farm campus this week. No one
will be exempt from the subscription
blockade. The members of the Vik
ings, honorary junior organization,
have signified their willingness to help
n the drive. The Vikings will visit
jach sorority and boarding house along
university row and appeal for sub
scriptions for the Daily Nebraskan.

Nebraskan Today
"Y" FORUM WILL DISCUSS
U. S. FOREIGN RELATIONS
"Foreign Relations" will be the topic
of discussion at the meeting of the
"V" Forum this week at the Temple.
Rev. Mr. Dunn, student pastor of the
Congregational churches of Lincoln,
will lead the meeting. Two questions
will be taken up in development of
the topic:
1. What should be the determining
factors in our relations with other
countries?
2. What are the remedies for the
present foreign relations?
The matter of foreign relations is
one that is bothering American states
men. Whether United States shall
continue to uphold the Monroe Doc
trine or adopt a new policy Is the
problem that must be solved. Every
one attending the meeting will get a
c hance to give his opinion.
GIRLS' BASKET BALL
NOW HOLDS INTEREST
Ruth Fickes, Sports Leader, Urges
Players to Begin Practicing
at Once.
Basketball will hold the center of in
terest in girls' sports for the next
two months. The season is now on and
practices are being ield daily in the
gymnasium. Basketball is usually re
garded as the game of games and the
number of girls who are interested
in it exceeds the nnn.ber interested in
other sports. The bulletin on the W.
A. A. board where those who wish to
practice may sign, is already well
tilled with names. There is still plen
ty of opportunity for those who have
not signed up to do so.
Ruth Fickes is the spoils leadei for
basketball. She urges the girls lo be
gin practicing immediately. Every
girl must have at least ten practices
in order to play in one ol the two bit
tournaments. A preliminary ton in a
men! is planned in which every girl
who has had ten practices will play.
Temporary leaders, one for evo-.v six
players, will be selected and the leains
will be chosen by lot. The showing
made by the players in this tourna
ment will help to determine the selec
tions for the class luims. The inter
class tournament will probably be
played the last of March. Girls who
play in the preliminary tournament
will receive fifty W. A. A. points and
receive one hundred points for play
ing on the class team.
The plans for this years' tournament
differ from those for previous sea
sons in that there will not be tin inter-sorority
tournament as heretofore.

STEIHM'S FIVE
TO MEET PONIES
Hoosiers Will Battle Huskers on
Home Floor Thursday and
Friday.
Indiana's Coach Returns to Ne
braska for First Time Since
Leaving University..
For the first time since he severed
connections with the University of Ne
braska "Jumbo" Stiehm is invading
the camp of the Cornhuskers with a
Hoosier team. Since Stiehm left Ne
braska and went to Indiana, the two
schools have not met In any form of
athletics and the two basketball games
Thursday and Friday nights will be
the first time Nebraska fans have had
the privilege of seeing one of
"Jumbo's" Indiana teams in action.
Incidentally, it is to be noticed that
the five which Is invading Huskerland
is the first basketball outfit that
Stiehm has coached at the Indiana
school. Heretofore he has confined
his time solely to the gridiron sport
and has not meddled with basketball.
The lit'.'o Hoosier flippers are, however.
under his guidance.
The recent victory of Iowa over the
strong Minnesota team is further proof
of the strength of Stiehm's aggrega
tion. Iowa also won from Chicago,
and the Maroons were rated as the
strongest contenders for the honors of
the Western conference. Iowa, how
ever, tell oetore Micnigan, ana tne
Wolverines were in turn humbled by
the Hossiers. Iowa's defeat of Minne
sota puts the Gopher team out of the
running for the Big Ten champion
ship. Last year the Gophers carried
off the high honors.
