KAPPA DELTA GETS
NEBRASKA CHAPTER
Social Sorority Will be Installed
Early in April Many
Prominent Members.
Kappa Delta, national social soruri
ty, has been established on the Uni
versity of Nebraska campus. Kappa
Delta is a national sorority which is
comparatively little known in the
West, for the reason that until re
cently it has been strictly a South
ern and Eastern organization. It was
founded at Virginia State Normal hi
1S97 and now has twenty-five active
chapters and ten inactive chapters.
Schools, best known to Nebraska
students where chapters are estab
lished, are Northwestern University,
Ames, University of Denver, Universi
ty of Southern California and th
University of California at Berkeley.
Last fall a group of girls organized
under the local name of Delta Ome
ga, and when their organization had
been perfected, petitioned Kappa Del
ta. The news that the petition had
been granted has been received and
plans are being made for the holding
of the installation ceremonies about
the second week in April. The chap-
tci which is to be Installed here, will
have twenty-four active and thirteen
aiumnae members.
The members of the active chapter
at the present time include:
Lucille Cline, '20
Marjorle Hedbloom, '20
Eleanor Hlnman, '20
Esther Klllpack, '20

PROCLAMATION
Small Pox has become a ser
ious matter in the University.
During the present week several
cases have been discovered in
the Medical Dispensary in the
Pharmacy Building. Other cases
have been reported to the City
Board of Health.
All the students in the Uni
versity who have not been vac
cinated within the past two
years are advised to do so at
once. This will be done free of
charge by the University physi
cians In Room 204 Pharmacy
Building, Students may have
this done by the family physician
in the city.
In such a case get a certifi
cate of vaccination fromt the
phyaiciarl who did the worV.
Students should preserve these
certificates, because it may be
come necessary in order to pre
vent an epidemic of small-pox, to
vaccinate all the unvaccinated
student in the University or re
quire them to report for daily
Inspection at the Medical Dis
pensary in Pharmacy Building.

12 TOWNS ON SCHEDULE
Plans for University Week are being
rr.pldly completed and according to
the managers final arrangements will
be made the latter part of the week.
The two routes this year make Uni
versity Week the largest ever attemp
ted in the history of the school. The
Western route includes the towns of
North Platte, Kimball, jLexington,
Gothenberg, Chappell, and Sidney. Thu
Northern route Is not definitely set
tled, one or two towns remaining in
the doubtful column.
University Week will send out into
the state the best talent in the school
and the twelve towns can be assured
of some of the highest class entertain
nients which have ever been presented
behind the footlights. Contrary to
precedent, the program this year does
not Include lectures. Heretofore
number of University professors have
filled the bill.
The talent for the Western trip wa3
made public Wednesday. The Univer
sity Players road show will present
varied program Including musical
numbers, monologues, vaudeville skits,
and a one-act playlet, "The Man Up
stairs." The Uornhusker Concert
Crmpany has a delightful program
consisting of piano, saxophone, and
violin selections with interpretive
dancing and vocal solos. The Unlver
sity Players are scheduled to give
that rlp-roarlng comedy, "It Pays to
Advertise."
The Western trip schedule is as fo -

SENIORS TO ENACT
"IF I WERE KING"
McCarthy's French Drama Will
be Presented Ivy Day
Eve, May 18. -
"If I Were King," four act drama
of picturesque France in the time o
Louis the XVI. written by Justin
Huntley McCarthy, has been choson
us the Senior play for presentation on
evening before Ivy Day, May 18. The
play, though by no means a modern
drama, has never been presented in
Lincoln and offered what was thought
to be the best opportunity for the
class to make a worthy effort.
It is a costume play, requiring a
laige caste, special scenery and much
preparation, but It is planned to make
it the biggest event of the year in
Universltv dramatics. Definite ar
rangements for a theater have not
et been made, but will be announced
as soon as determined.
The story is of a wandering poet
nhilosoDher. Francois Villon and bis
k ve for a lady of royal blood, Kather
ine de Vauceles. It offers remarkable
onnortunitles for a large number ot
Seniors in interesting parts and is as
dignified yet as interesting and dram
atic as a production by the graduat
ing class of a college should be.
In this way a number of the mo-e
Important Senior Class activities arc
put together In one week. Ivy Day
has been set for Wednesday, May 19,
?nd leaves Tuesday night, May IS
open for this University production.
At the same time it enables visitors
and returning alumni to see the class
play, the Ivy Day festivities and
Itiie California baseball game all within
twenty-four hours.
Tryouts for "If I Were King" will
be held next week, definite announce
ment to be made Friday. All Seniors
are eligible to take part in the class
play and are urged to secure parts
for the try-outs. Mimeographed cut
tings from the lines will be filed at
the reserve .desk In the Library before
Friday for those who wish to try -out
in various parts. A more complete
announcement of the characters and
the Darts will be made Thursday. It
should be particularly understood
that tryouts and parts are in no
limited to dramatic students or to
those now in the University Players

HOW TO RUN THE
220-YARD DASH
Coach Schulte in "Track Talks"
Gives Valuable Information
for Cinder Artists.
ARTICLES MAKING A HIT
It may not be amiss In these times
of bright track possibilities for Ne
braska cinder artists, to print Coach
Schulte'8 track talk on "The 220-Yard
Dash." These track talks of Nebras
ka's coach are appearing in newspa
pers at this time, and are full of
valuable information for athletes as
well as for sport "fans." The Coach
has the following to say 'on the 220
yard dash:
"In order to become a good 220-
yard man It Is necessary to be mas
ter of the technique of the shorter
dash. No man can expect to succeed,
nor yet show skill in the longer race
until he has mastered the start, the
sprint, and the ptlch, as discussel
n the articles on the 100-yard dash.
"That does not necessarily mean
that he must be a good 100-yard dash
nan. Quite often It happens that
the chap who can run a good 100,
may find that he lacks the endurance
to run a good 220. It is equally true
that he must be a good 100-yard dash
lit possibly because they get away
f oni the mark slowlv and are si w
in gettirg into thp'r stride.
"At the p -;:eit limp there -t two
men l emg watch?! as possib litios
for Mie Olympics, who Illustrate this
poi.-t. In tho r:Wit indoor meet in
York Cil ifntly, th3 Millrose
games. Jack Scholz and Loren Murch-
eson finished in order by inches In
the 70-yard dash in world's record
time, 71-5 seconds. Both are grevi
sprinters. In any r?ce f;om the
mark to the 100 or ,o-.ily the 12)-
vaid mark, Scholz would doubtlessly
win from Murcheson. for he has a
t-rrtho burst of speed anywhere with
in the 120. Beyond that distance th.
winner would probably be Murcheson,
for he seems to gather strength as he
oes.
From the .standpoint of training
the chief difference between the twa
ash events lies in the matter of the
istance to be worked.
Pointers on the 220-Yard Dash
"1. Master the start, the sprint,
nd the pitch.
"2. Devote considerable time to 50-
ard dashes, to develop your initial
speed.
"3. In early season swing throgh
300 once or twice a week at three-
quarters speed, and jog a number
of quarters.
"4. For mid-season, the 300 can be
rim occasionally at nine-tenths or
nearly top speed. The 170 or ISO
