NO MYSTERIES DIVULGED

The quick sale of tickets is ex

Hold, la the maximum Heating capacity
of the High School Auditorium where
the skits will be given. Last year
when the City Auditorium was used
.seventeen hundred seats were avail
able, hence there was not such a rush
to get tickets, although all were sold
in a few hours.
Tickets were on sale for the faculty
after eight o'clock Tuesday morning.
At eleven, when tho sale opened to
students, the lower hall of Temple
Building was filled with students wait
ing in line. Some, who rushed over
immediately after a ten o'clock class
in the hope of getting a pick of the
seats, found over a hundred ahead of
them.
Every attempt to get so much as a
shadowy glimpse of the happenings
plotted for Saturday night is futile.
Authorities say that the veil of mys- j
tery surrounding University Night will j
burst at eight-fifteen Saturday night. I
but until then it cannot be penetrated.

old glove, and jaunt out to the park
to show his goods." says Coach Rid
dell. The Athletic Department will
furnish the bats, gloves and balls for
the first year squad but it cannot at
present furnish suits , for the green
outfit. There are a great number of
first-year ball tossers around the cam
tms and they should be out pelting
the horse hide over the diamond. It
is hoped that baseball will be revived
at Nebraska as it was a few years ago
before the local Western League team
took the center of the local diamond
game. If the game is to be put on a
sound basis in the Husker school the
Freshmen must get out and earn due
distinction to fill the shoes left open
by old Varsity men.
The number of men turning out for
track each day is very discouraging
to a coach of the calibre of Henry F.
Schulte. "All It takes to make n
track man is a sturdy pair or legs, a
willingness to work, and a ralr amount
or brain matter," Coach Schulte has
otten stated, but a great number or
men are loafing about the movies and
promenading O street who have these
c;im;incations and, yet are letting the
golden opportunity or earning an N
slip by.
Coach Schulte has earned a name
for hiiuseir which is known through
out the country ror developing green
men who have never seen a pair of
spiked shoes. The greatest hurdler
who ever leaped over a timber paddle
in America was developed by Schuite
lot Missouri. When Simpson first went
out. he was like all other green men
the-laugh of the trained men and the
i worry of the coach. Coach Schulte
j took him in hand and began to make
'a hurdler out of him. Within three
I years Simpson had broken the world's
; record tor leaping the sticks and now
he is the feature of the sport world
and promises to make a name for him
self as a coach at Missouri.
Simpson went out and made an
effort. How is Schulte to make world
beaters out of green material here
when the men are contented with the
records made in the past and are
merely watching the Varsity men as
they work every day? New material
will have to turn over and show signs
or lire ir Coach Schulte is to be satis
fied and if the Husker standard Is to
be maintained.

The opening number of the program
in which the five dancers appeared
together in technique was very well
done. Marjorie Barstow, winner of
first place last year, again received
highest honors. Dressed in a flame

with grace and ease a difficult dance.

Chancellor Avery spoke to the

Chancellor centered his speech on
illumination, means of communication,
air service and wireless telegraph and

played in feeding the world, and the
development of pure science. This
proved to be one of the most Interest

been put in as a course of study.
Prof. Roy Cochran has arranged
some very interesting and instructive
lectures and the Freshmen are for
tunate to hav the opportunity to hear
these lectures. Some of the heads of
departments and some of the pro
fessors have been on the program and
there are some very good lectures In
store for Freshmen for the remainder
of the term.

these are likewise painted.
The girls are taught how to make
certain designs and modiry them to
suit the material used, whether it be

interesting work, may see the process

was rormerly connected with the Law

the difference and similarity or litel
and slander, the difference lying in
that libel is written and slander is
