NUMBER OF SEATS LIMITED
fr
University Night tickets will
be on sale at the University
Y. M. C. A. in the Temple Build
ing from eleven o'clock today
until they are all sold.
University Night Is shrouded in
mystery. The only known key that
will unlock the mystery is a ticket,
which may be purchased for thirty
five cents at the University Y. M. C. A.
Members of the faculty may buy
tickets from eight to eleven o'clock
today. After that the sale of tickets
will be open to students. Reserva
tions of seats will be made when the
tickets are purchased.
Less than twelve hundred seats will
be available due to the limited seat
ins capacity of the high school au
ditorium, where University Night
stunts are to be given this year.
Seventeen hundred seats were sold
last year when the city auditorium
was used. If tickets sell this year as
they did last year only the early buy
pis will be able to get them.
The committee in charge of Uni
versity Night refuses to announce the
program before the eventful night of
the Seventeenth, next Saturday. It
is not known whether they are plot
ting some terrible night-mare which
would haunt the dreams of peaceful
students If they knew of it or are
going to put on a super-scholastic-shimmy.
But everything is specula
tion. There is even a vague rumor
that black cats will be Involved. The
only hints available are the few post
ers distributed about the campus for
the sole purpose of arousing the
curiosity of the curiously inclined,
which class is said to include the
entire human race.

Saturday's TryoutS May ' stty and has been at that institution
Enter Several Events. in st. Louis for the past three years.
Coach Schulte and Captain Mc
Mahnn are working hard to get the
Husker cinder fiends into shape for
the Drake relays which are the cen
HIT" '''.-' '
ter of the sport world at present. As
a result of Saturday's performance of
Kretzler, Graf and Dorn. Coach
Schulte has decided to enter a mile,
four mile, and possibly half mile re
iv tonm in the Drake events. Should
Nebraska send three relay teams to
the Drake meet it will shoot Nebraska
to the front as the Huskers boast of
having the real goods in the relays
this year.
With the possibility of the four mile
relay team being entered it leaves a
position for a good miler open. There
is an especially good chance for an
ordinary miler to cover the distance
find Schulte will make a runner out of
him. Things look bright in the track
camp and with a little fair weather j
the Husker team should De in up mV
