McMAHON NOT IN. RACE
From Nebraska's viewpoint (he
nhowinK of tl,e Husker tenni at the
Drake relays Saturday afternoon was
vpry encouraging. The Cornhuskers'
mile relay team ran the distance
within 3 5 of second as fast as It
,lid last year but its opponents used
a little better judgment and stepped
it off faster at the finish.
In the mile event Oibbs lead off for
Nebraska and finished one yard to the

Stromer ran the fastest race he prob

Th four mile team did exception

that they have been compelled to
practice and the fields that the opposi

Buskers did not know how to run the
race as was shown by the fact that
some got away to a flying start and
couldn't finish while others saved too
much energy. The Husker field has

HIGH SCHOOL MEET
TO BE HELD MAY 15
State Athletes Will Compete for
Honors in Largest Event
of its Kind.
Plans are Under way to make this
spring's high school meet to be held
here May 15 one of the largest and
most successful ever staged in the
United States. The entry list has
already swelled far beyond the ex
pectations of Coach Schulte and those
in charge of this work. The new sys
tem of grouping the teams and
schools seems to have been met with
great favor with the coaches and
superintendents of the state high
schools. Nebraska high schools do
not compare very favorably with our
neighboring state high schools.

HUSKER-HASKALL MATCHES
PROMISE PLENTY OF PEP
The coming Husker-Haskall base
ball tiffs which will be staged on the
local plateau Friday and Saturday
threaten to furnish, loyal Nebraskans
with plenty of worry and lots of ex
citement. The recent reverses which
the Huskers suffered at the hands of
the Sooners are sufficient to make the
team work up a lot of enthusiasm and
determination to make a success of
the coming games. With Pickett back
on the moimd, Nebraska prospects
seem rosier than before. Experience
has done worlds toward strengthening
tho Husker nine and the . games
promise to be well worth winning.

A good place to hear an intelligent
discussion of elusive Article X of the
League of Nations Covenant will be
at the Temple Theater, Friday eve
ning at eight o'clock. The admission
will be thirty-five cents and tickets
may be reserved now.
The teams that will represent Ne
braska in the first inter-state debate
for a number of years are well pre
pared to argue the question that is of
utmost importance because of the
election of a President this year.
When Senator Hitchcock was in Bin
coin recently he conferred with the
members of the Cornhusker debating
teams and made the following state
ment: "Those fellows have certainly
studied that subject. They surely
know how to ask questions."
The Debaters' Workshop
A peep into the workshop of the
men who are to represent Nebraska
in the first debates with Iowa is
further proof of the untiring energy
they have used to dig up every pos
sible phase of the question. Old de
bate periodicals, current magazines,
articles and everything pertaining to
the League of Nations Covenant have
been resurrected to aid the debaters
in their investigations.
The negative team, consisting of
Miles Ilildreth, '21, of Lincoln; Wil
liam C. Cull, law '21. of Oakland;
Oscar A. Drake, law '21. of Kearney;
and Fred C. Campbell, (alternate), '22,
of Lincoln, will leave for Iowa City

The Innocents Society has charge
of the business end of the Lincoln de

COUNCIL PRESENTS REVISED
CONSTITUTION BEFORE SCHOOL
Body Places Document Containing
for Settlement at Elections to
Proposed Changes to
PLACE HONOR SPIRIT ON
The student body will soon take
their stand on two propositions pre
sented by the Student Council, that of
amending tho constitution of the
Council and the Honor Spirit plan of
taking examinations. These two
propositions will be submitted to a
general vote or all students on Tues
day, May 4.
The present constitution was adopt
ed by a vote of the students in May,
1917, and accordingly approved by
the Regents. Due to the war no
Council was organized until the spring
of 1919, at which time the present
members were elected. This first
Student Council found that in practice
the constitution was inadequate, be
cause it did not provide, for represen
tation of newly organized colleges
such as the Dental College and Busi
ness Administration; because it made
no provisions for filling vacancies
caused by members leaving school;
because a proper system was not out
lined for nominating members of the
Council; and it also did not niaKe n
clear that, students, not members of
the Council, were welcome to come to
the regular meetings; nor did it pro
vide that the Student Council, which
was organized to further the inter
ests of the student body, should have
any representation on the various
boards and committees that control
the various expressions of student
life and aetiities. According to of
ficers of the present Council, it is nut
the aim now or any time to control
these boards and committees but
simply to have representation on
them. By the amendments offered
and approved by students in mass
meeting early in April, these inade
quacies are thought to be largely filled,
and at. the same time not interfering
in any way with any other organiza
tions now in existence.
