ABOUT DECISION
Huskers Re-Admitted to Confer
ence When Rules Are Com
plied With.
RUTGERS GAME ONLY BAR
Chancellor Avery has issued the
following statement in regard to the
re-admission of Nebraska into the
Missouri Valley Conference:
"In order to correct any possible
misunderstanding I wish to state pub
licly exactly what was done at the
Kansas City Conference of Presidents
and Governing Boards.
"Though Nebraska is not a mem
ber I was awarded the courtesies of
the Conference, including permission
to speak on any and all subjects up
for discussion. As nearly as I can
remember them the motions that pre
vailed were as follows:
Nebraska it hereby re-admitted to
the Missouri Valley Conference when
the institution finds itself in a position
to comply with Conference rules and
when the president of the association
of governing boards is notified of that
fact"
"Pending the re-admission of Ne
braska to the Conference and in view
0f its application for return, the
recommendation of the Conference of
governing boards against scheduling
games with Nebraska is rescinded."
Rutgers Game Only Bar
"The only bar to immediate return
is the contract with Rutgers to play
M New York City. The Penn State
-.c is on college grounds. No as
surance was given the members of
the Conference, nor was it asked, that
steps should be taken to cancel the
New York game. If, however, through
any possible readjustment of sched
ules this contract should be abrogated
Nebraska could return at once to full
Conference relations, otherwise it will
remain out of the Conference until
after this game is played. The press
statements that the return of Ne

NEBRASKA WILL SEND
REPRESENTATIVES TO
BIG CHICAGO MEETING
May Sessions of Collegiate Busi
ness Schools Will Choose Uni
form Degree for Graduates.
The University of Nebraska is to
be represented at the May meeting of
the Association of Collegiate Schools
of Business to be held in Chicago,
May 6, 7 and 8. Important decisions
are to be made at this meeting and
a large representation from prepara
tory schools an colleges is expected.
One of the things that will probably
be decided, that will be of particular
interest to University of Nebraska
students, is the choosing of the de
gree to be given graduates from
schools of business. The University
of Nebraska now gives the degree of
Bachelor of Science of Business Ad
ministration. Other colleges give an
A. B. degree. Bachelor of Economics,
etc., and as there is no uniformity at
this time, there teems to be some
misunderstanding as to what these
terms stand for.
Students who are interested in this
subject should talk to the Dean of the
College of Business Administration
and any helpful suggestion that they
may make will be considered.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, APRIL 20,
OMAHA DAY IS
IN THE BALANCE
Whether Students Will Visit Big
City this Spring Rests With
Metropolis.
Omaha Day this year hangs in the
balance. Omaha students are agitat
ing its consideration, and Dean Eng
berg is corresponding with Omaha.
Every spring, since Omaha Day was
originated a number of years ago,
University students have taken a day s
vacation to visit Omaha. This year
at Omaha's suggestion it was planned
to postpone Omaha Day till next fall
and have it at the same time as a
football game the University was
scheduled to play at Omaha. Now
the University has petitioned for re-
admission into the Missouri Valley-
Athletic Conference, and the petition
was granted April 17. This will make
it impossible for the Cornhusker team
to play at Omaha and the question of
Omaha Day has arisen. Those con
nected with it are wondering whether
it will be held next fall as planned or
this spring according to custom.
Omaha's preference will decide the
matter. Dean Engberg wrote Omaha
some time ago, but has received no
replv. He explained that Omaha was
probably waiting until it was known
definitely whether the game there
would be abandoned.
A group of Omaha students met last
week and appointed Ray Stryker to
consult Dean Engberg, Chancellor
Avery and the Omaha Commercial
Club about this matter. About the
same time mysterious red posters dis
playing the word "Omaha" with ques
tion marks above and below appeared
in conspicuous places about the cam
pus. Some connected these with Om
aha Day. but more definite informa
tion indicates that they refer to the
organization of an Omaha Club.

What Is An Ideal
To Change As
There are over two-thousand men
enrolled in the University, conse
quently there are Just that many dif
ferent ideas as to what the women
enjoy as amusement during their leis
ure hours.
The Freshman has an idea all of
his own. He thinks the average keen
women should be wild about him and
his high school jokes cracked in a
most boisterous manner. If the Fresh
man comes from a small town his
date should like to tramp over the
bills all day in search of rabbits.
The Sophomore comes back from
his fir6t summer at home, resolved
that he will be a bear among women.
He will propose a canoe trip up the
river. He swears bis girl should like
a Sunday evening date without the
usual box of candy. No woman should
even think of wanting to keep the
date rule.
The Junior has the idea that be is
going to find bis ideal his soul-mate.
He dates steady and has the privi
lege of dating anyone be chooses but
the woman must remain true to bim.
If he does not care to go to a cer
tain dance the should not want to go
And the women who do not date,
either because tbey do not bare the

Point System, Discussed All Year,
Will Also Meet Fate at
Polls in Library.
The W. S. G. A. is holding elections
of its next year's officers and board
members Monday and Tuesday in the
library building. The Point System
is also being voted upon. The polls
will close at five o'clock today. Alf
University girls who have paid their
W. S. G. A. dues are qualified to vote.
A president, vice-president, secre
tary, treasurer and the board mem
bers will be elected from the follow
ing nominees: Juniors Marjorie
Barstow. Ruth Begley, Mary Brownell,
Ethel Hoagland, Ruth Lindsay, Rhe
Nelson. Florence Wilcox; Sophomores
Man' Hefzing. Ruth Fickes, Lois
Melton, Elizabeth Scribner, Mary
Sheldon, Katherine Wills; Freshmen
Muriel Allen. Nell Bates, Jean Holtz,
Mary Redgwick. Mary Temple, Flavia
Waters.
The point system has been a sub
ject of discussion all year. The plan
is to credit the girls with a certain
number of points for each activity in
which they take part. A maximum
number of points is provided so that
one girl cannot take part in every
thing. This will prevent overwork on
her part and will give other girls a
chance.

chance or do not care to, like to sit
in some one elses room and talk
about the awful girls who go out
every night with a different man.
The Senior has usually found his
partner who is willing to take a long
chance on him. They persistently
break the date rule every night Now
this is not meant to 'infer that no one
but Seniors break the date rule. The
Senior girl is either active or is not
There is no half way mark with them.
Most men think women do not care
how they amuse themselves but are
only waiting for some bright young
fellow to suggest anything. The aver
age male student is surprised beyond
recovery if the usual woman expresses
the desire to follow the baseball sea
son through, and shows that she
really knows the pitchers box is in
the diamond instead of just behind
second base.
The one great question that the
University man has been unable to
solve throughout the ages is whether
the women of the campus really like
to amuse themselves with the men or
whether they do it for want of some
thing better to amuse themselves
with. Daily Kansan.

Word From Sooner State Gives
Assurance that Trip Will
be Made.
NEBRASKA IS CONFIDENT
Coach Schissler and his baseball
proteges will leave this noon for Still
water, Oklahoma, where they are
scheduled for a frame of combats
with the Oklahoma A. and M. Wednes
day and Thursday. The Southern
migration was assured Monday morn
ing when a message was received
from Coach Bennie Owen of the Okla
homa State University stating inas
much as Nebraska had been admitted
into the Missouri Valley Conference
that his school would sign contracts
for a two day series of games on Fri
day and Saturday.
"The trip would not warrant the
expense and time for the team for
only two games," said Schissler. "I
am glad that Owen's school has re
considered the matter and has given
us the opportunity of meeting tht
Sooners."
A Strong Team
The recent inclement weather has
prohibited the locals from putting on
the finishing touches before making
the first foreign invasion. The ex
cellent showing against Wesleyanlast
Friday is good evidence that Nebraska
has the goods to drub both Oklahoma
teams. The daily workouts at M
street park has given the opportunity
of whipping together a record-breaking
aggregation of ball artists. Stu
dent rail-birds declare the team is
demonstrating mid-season form and if
the work is continued at the present
rate the University of Nebraska will
be a strong contender for the Valley
bunting.
Fourteen men will be taken on the
trip according to the statement made
