FRESKMEN ELECT HELEN
BUCK VICE -PRESIDED
The freshmen class elected officers
lor the second semester Thursday
morning, March 4, 1920, in Law 101.

basketball tournament as a counter at
traction, kept many from attending
ihe meeting, it was enthusiastic. Miss
Helen Buck was elected vice presi
dent and Bernie Gerard, treasurer.
A complete list of the officers elect
follows: Vice-president Helen Buck.
Treasurer Bernie Gerard.
Sergeant-at-Arms
Fred Richards and Mary Mcintosh.
Reporter Jack Austin.
Committee appointments are not
yet ready, but a complete list will be

When the teams began to arrive
Wednesday evening, each team seemed
to prize Its own basketball. They
carried them to dinner, took the balls
to the theatre, and even carried then
on pleasure walks through, the Uni
versity buildings.
University Will Haw
"Hello Girl" On Campus
Many a "prof" has reached for his
umbrella and failed to find it, many
n "phys-ed" has opened her locker and
discovered that her "gym" suit was
sone, many a student has written a
('beck to find that his bank account
was a minus quantity, but it Is not
every day that the "Rag" editor comes
'o the office and finds two telephones
instead of one. But, then, surprises
are the spice of life.
The explanation is very simple,
however, a new telephone system
being Installed. A private branch
exchange is to take the place of the
automatics. This system Is less ex
Pensive than the old. The University
campus will have a private switch
board, and, when the work now under
'y is completed, every office will
tove a telephone. Thou offices which
bave two telephones at present have
been ahown no partiality, however.
"ecause the new ones cannot be used
ntil the switchboard Is installed and
nections made.
W. A. A. HAS CHARGE OF
SELLING "EATS" AT GAMES
The Woman's Athletic Association
has charge of selling candy and
apples at all of the games in the
high school basketball tournament.
This concession has been held by the
W. A. A. for three years. At all of
the football and basketball games this
year the co-eds with baskets on thei
arms have been busy on the bleachers
selling their wares. The money
beared goes Into the W. A. A. treas
ury to finance girls' sports in Nebraska.
