STUDENTS CAST
VOTES TUESDAY
Officials Estimate Over 1,000
Cornhuskers Used Ballot in
Primary Election.
UNI MEN IN CAMPAIGN
The University of Nebraska figured
conspicuously in the Tuesday primary
election. It is estimated that at least
600 University men and an equal
number of women cast their ballots
for their favorite candidates.
By an act of the national legislature
t,P -women were given the voting
franchise. Consequently candidates
and campaign managers made an
especial effort to secure the co-ed
vote. Considerable difficulty wus ex
perienced by some students who cast
their votes for the first time yester
day. Many of the women were dis
mayed to find out that their ballots
were much shorter, but when told
that they were not privileged to vote
on the entire field, they mutely left
the pollB.
The Pershing, Wood and Johnson
campaigns were waged with great
fury in Lincoln. University men were
employed by these presidential can
didates as sandwich men, barkers, and
confidential agents. The Pershing of
ficials enlisted sixty men to further
the A. E. P. leader's cause. The Wood
managers enrolled a smaller number
of University workers.
That University men are learning
the art of business is evinced by the
fact that a few clever thinkers con
ceived the idea of representing more
than one candidate. As a result of
the day's efforts a number received
double, and in some cases triple pay.
THETA SIGMA PHI WILL
GIVE "BILL BOARD BALL"
The Theta Sigma Phi's are giving a
subscription party at the Woman's
Hall to raise funds In order to send a
delegate to the national convention at
Madison, Wisconsin. At this conven
tion there will be delegates from
chapters throughout the country and
it is to the interest of Nebraska that
a delegate be sent from this Institu
tion. The chapter has laid plans to make
this one of the best subscription
parties of the year. It will be a "bill
board" ball. Thus far the "bill-board"
line is & mystery, but it is said by
the ones who claim to have the in
side dope, that it will be a surprise
worth the full price of admission to
see.
Theta Sigma Phi is a women's
honorary journalistic fraternity and
does a great deal to keep Nebraska
on the map in the journalistic world,
and it deserves the loyaf support or
all the Huskers who can possibly get
out Saturday evening. The admission
is $1.25. Deck's orchestra is furnish
ing the jazz strains.

FARMER'S FAIR WILL
PRESENT NEW STUNTS
May Film Annual Carnival for
Publicity Work in Later
Years.
The Fanners' Fair netx Saturday
will be an event long remembered.
Side shows, containing specimens to
be found only on the Farm campus,
will be much in evidenve. The names
of a few of these, obtained from the
committee in an unguarded moment,
promise rare offerings. "Domestic
Tragedy," "Bridal Couple in Liver
pool," "For Men Only," "Latest Spring
Styles," "Swimming Match Between
Two Dogs" and "Chickens to Suit
Your Fancy," are enough to attract
the attention of any one.
The parade will start about noon
and will be nearly a half mile long.
Floats representing the various de
partments will be shown and much
work is being done in their prepara
tion. Clowns will add spice to the
parade and a motorized baby carriage
will make its initial appearance. One
of the features of the parade will be
a colonial style carriage drawn by
horses with silver mounted harness.
This carriage was purchased at a
cost of seven hundred dollars some
fifteen years ago.
Following the parade down O street,
and which will end at the Farm, the
grounds will be opened and the Fair
will be on. Numerous attractions will
be offered. The Pike and its spielers
will contain all the features of an
up-to-date carnival. In the evening,
aside from the other entertainments,
dancing will be offered.
The students in the College of Agri
culture have been at work on this for
some time. It is a large undertaking
and requires the assistance of several
hundred students. Some of the classes
have already been dismissed and no
doubt Friday will be a closed day for
those in the Agricultural College. An
effort is being made to have Profes
sor Condra. of the Department or
Geography and Conservation, to film
several of the features.
This is the second event of Its kind
and the committee Is sparing no pains
or expense in making it the most at
tractive event of the season.

TO ORGANIZE CLUB
Expect to 'Bring Closer Harmony
Between Metropolis and
University.
Will Embrace Over 200 Students
Indorsed by Alumni and
Chancellor.
The meeting of Omaha students
who are attending the University,
which is called for Thursday evening,
April 22, in the Social Science audi
torium to form a student club, is not
a political move nor is It started by
any set or people with political aspira
tions. The calling of the meeting re
sults from a chance conversation of
Professor Cochran and Miss Hunter.
assistant to the Chancellor. They dis
cussed the matter with some Omaha
people who thought it was a good
plan. As to what will be done at
Thursday's meeting, the Omaha stu
dents in attendance will decide.
It is the plan to start similar clubs
among the groups who come from
other cities In the state. The object
is mutual helpfulness of the Univer
sity and the community. There will
be absolutely no opposition to one an
other among these clubs for they are
all working with similar purposes.
There are in the University over
258 students from Omaha. With such
a nucleus many things will be possible
for the mutual good of all concerned.
Among the suggestions thus far made
are a possible Omaha day; a Lin
coln day when all the Senior classes
from the five Omaha high schools
would be guests of the University; an
Omaha mixer; an Omaha banquet.
There are already in the University
several of these city clubs, for ex
ample the Norfolk, Blair, Kearney,
Platt8mouth and Chadron. Each of
these Is a law unto itself as far as
choosing and directing the policy of
Its organization is concerned. The
University authorities have been con
sulted and heartily encourage the
movement. The Chancellor approves
and has consented to be present
Thursday evening and speak. The
president of the alumni association,
which organization is world wide, is
an Omaha man. He writes in terms
of the utmost appreciation of such a
movement. There arp in Omaha a
large number of alumni. They want
this club and are willing to stand
back of it.

DISCUSS ORGANIZING
EIGHT WEEKS CLUBS
Explain Method of Promoting
Vacation Formation of Y. W.
C. A. Affiliating Societies
What each college girl can do for'
her own home town during vacation
by the organization of an Eight
Weeks Club was- explained at Y. W.
C. A. Vespers Tuesday afternoon.
The purpose of the meeting was to
interest the girls in this work.
Beulah Grabill. the first speaker,
gave the foreword of the Eight Weeks
Club as being fun, friendship and
service. They are really a form of
the Y. W. C. A. for the small towns.
College girls act as leaders for the
eight weeks of vacation. Then, if
the members wish to continue the or
ganization an associate leader takes
charge. The purpose of the clubs Is
to develop the physical, mental, social
and moral life of the members.
Groups can be organized among girls
of different ages. The first step in
organization is to get the co-operation
of the town people and the interest of
the girls.
A possible program for the work
was given by Marian Mote. The first
meeting should be for the purpose of
organizing, the second and third ser
vice meetings, the fourth a hike, the
fifth and sixth discussion of topics
the girls are interested in. the seventh
a service meeting and the last a so
cial affair.
Ruth Fickes told of the need of
carefully planned recreation. She
emphasized the fact that the vacation
element should not be overlooked and
the possibilities in the community
should be carefully considered.
The backing of the club was the
subject of the concluding talk by
Hilda Greenwald. It is hoped that
some of the University girls will take
up this work next summer.
A telegram from Miss McKinnon,
who is in Cleveland at the national
convention, was read. A report of
this convention and explanation of the
new membership basis will be given
at Vespers next week by Miss Mc
Kinnon and Mary Brownell.
Helen Holtz lead the meeting and
Margaret Stidworthy sang a solo.
