cial Science building all day. The vi
cinity of room 108. where the elec
tions were held, was bo tightly packed
with students that at times It was
almost impossible to work one's way
through.
Electioneers were at their posts all
day. Classes all things, were cast
to the winds. The candidates were
all there. The tension was 'at its
maximum when the polls closed.
Voters were hailed as they left the
polls and asked how they voted.
Anxious watchers lingered nt the door
until the last btillot was cast.
Before the counting of ballots was
completed, people were telephoning
about the returns. Promptly at six
the "Rag' posted the results on a
large bulletin board in front of U Hall.
'I never saw such a heavy vole for
an election," was Miss McGahey's
comment as she stood in room 108
superintending the election. She, as
sisted by Professors Cochran, Sea
lock, Gehrig and Marvin and two stu
dents. Russel nailey and William Day,
conducted the election.

because they work and pray for their
cause and have a determination to
win," he declared.
"There are many students In this
school who, way down deep In their
hearts, are interested in religious sub
jects, but who have not been touched
in the right way. This convocation
hall should he crowded all the time,
while as it is, the freshmen must at
tend freshman lecture.
"We expect to Americanize the for
eigners as they come into our country,"
he continued. "We must teach them
religion first of all. We are all part
ners for one great enterprise, that of
entering into the kingdom of God. We
teach them democracy. Democracy
and religion go hand in hand.
The Power of Mohammedan
"I sometimes wonder if we really
believe in our God, as I watch the Mo
hammedans in their passion of reli
gion, unashamed to pray any place
they nmy be. The Mohammedans are
teaching hundreds of their university
students each year to go out as mis
sionaries for their religion. Soon, if
nothing is done to prevent it, the
whole of Africa will be Mohammedan.
"If this happens it will be a curse,
for the Mohammedans believe in polyg
amy and slavery. What Holcombe is
destined to do is to show these people
what to do and train them for leader
ship." Mr. Saunders said in conclusion:
"The one need of the world is Jesus
Christ and the application of his principles."

St. Patrick is the highest which can

the sophomore engineers will act as

the bearers of his symbols.

At the time of knighting each senior
will be presented with the Knight of
St. Patrick certificate and pin. At
Missouri where the celebration began,
the degree of Knight of St. Patrick
has come to mean as much as his col

the St. Patrick's pin is worn long
after the fraternity pin has been laid
away in the dresser drawer.
It is the desire of the committee
that all engineers take an active part
in the movement and help to make
the day a truly national celebration.

The following telegram from E. W.
Luehring was presented to the board:
"On return found our daughter strlck-
pn with nneumonia. This, with ex
amination papers and three basketball
games made it Impossible to formu
late and forward written statement of
recent conference. Did you know re
gent meeting so soon. Am deeply Im
pressed with enthusiastic welcome
given me by Nebraska and delighted
with wholehearted acceptance of my
proposed plans, principles and Ideals
by yourself, regents, faculty represen
tatives and alumni of Lincoln and
Omaha. Consequently you may say 1
am convinced Nebraska ;s the place
for me. In view of present meeting
am willing to accept appointment in
accordance with principles and condi
tions outlined and matually agreed to
in open conference at Lincoln, Omaha
and later with Regent Webster and
yourself. Believe desirable formulate
these conditions in writing for mutual
guidance, until then gentlemen's
agreement surely satisfactory. Will
ing postpone extra physician and in
tramural man one year, but not longer.
Otherwise everything acceptable and
will teport at U. of N. next Sept.
(signed) F. "W. Luehring."
Concerning increases of salaries and
tne faculty communication thereon it
was ordered on motion of Regent
Drown :
i: "That the board recognizes that
the first and largest demand on the
university's revenue is the fixing as
far as possible under available funds,
of adequate salaries in preference to
building operations or other activities.
2. "That the chancellor is directed
to prepare at once for submission to
the board such a statement of avail
able resources and schedules of sal
ary increases and readjustments as
will meet present conditions."
It was ordered that steps be taken
to secure the readmission of the uni
versity to the Missouri Conference.
The board authorized the chancellor to
securefor the Department of English,
a scholar of standing, able, in addition
to his work in this department, to
carry such work in the Bohemian lan
guage and literature as may be called
for. It is believed that it will be im
possible to find a specialist in English,
of Bohemian descent, who can, in addi
tion to his other studies, carry classes
in Bohemian whenever a sufficient
number of students present them
selves for registration in this subject,
justifies additional classes.
Other matters of minor importance
were brought up. The board ad
journed at four o'clock.

At the various sessions of the associa

of the association and also professors

will be Professors O. R. Martin, J. E.
LeRosslgnol and M. M. Fogg. The
university committee to plan for the
occasion will be announced in a day

about the possible misfortunes of

stolen?
Then one fine day, he spies a lady
from home in the lunchroom at Miller

tears of devotion, (said devotion never
experienced in the afore mentioned

tell him all the news. And then ha
listens patiently while she tells all
about Jim. Collin's baby dying with
the flu and about people buying new
farms and then at last he wins his re
