Elected.
The Students' Council elections took
place without excitement yesterday.
About a thousand ballots were cast.
There was little electioneering and
the polls were usually uncrowded.
The vote was lighter this year than
last and less exciting. The only in
Ftance in which the competition was
very close was in the College of En
gineering. When the first choice
votes were added, it was found that
the highest did not have a majority
over the second highest. Then the
second choice votes were added in.
Still there was no majority. Then
the third choice votes were added.
That total gave Acton and Salter ex
actly the same number. As Acton
had the largest number of first choice
votes, the decision was in his favor.
Practically the only electioneering
was in the College of Law where
fituv enthusiasm was shown.
The new members of the Student
Council will meet at five o'clock today
to f-lr-ct officer.

I!!G!I SCHOOL MEN
TO MEET SATURDAY
State Track Contests Will be
Held at Athletic Field
Tomorrow.
Three hundred and ninety-nine men
have been entered by thirty-six high
schools in the annual state meet to
be held on the athletic field Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock. The plan
of grouping the schools into three
classes for this meet is partly re
sponsible for this record-break in?
enrollment.
This year there are to be three dis
tinct classes. Group one will com
prise all high schools that have an
enrollment of less than a hundred.
Group two will consist of all eligible
schools with an enrollment between
10 and 273, and group three will con
sist of all eligible schools with an
enrollment above 275. Schools in
group one may enter hut two men in
each event, group two may enter four
men and group three may enter as
many men as they choose.
There will be four places in each
event and bronze medals will go to
ihe individual winners of each group
for the first three places. A special
medal will be given the man who
makes the best record in his event
for the day regardless of what group
lie is classed in. Lincoln high school
won the meet last year over Cam
bridge as second with but eleven
points to the good. "7

NEW GYMNASIUM INSURES
NEBRASKA'S ATHLETIC
FUTURE
One of the most important
functions of the new Memorial
Gymnasium and Stadium, for
which funds will be raised by
a campaign soon, will be to
foster athletics at Nebraska to
the extent that it will arise
head and shoulders above the
other Middle Western states in
sport accomplishments. East
ern schools will no longer look
to the Cornhusker state as the
beginning of the "sage brush
region." On the contrary, they
will respect Nebraska's achieve
ments and will recognize her
athletes, perhaps allowing them
a Ifttle niche in America's Hall
of Fame.
A new gymnasium, stadium,
and field means new openings
in athletic events. Bigger and
better meets are assured. More
sensational playing, the fruit of
stiffer competition, will feature
coming gridiron games on the
new field. The spectacular
quintets of the country will feel
proud to play on the floor of
Nebraska's new gymnasium.
GIVE AND HELP MAKE
THESE THINGS POSSIBLE.
SPEED IIP DRILL FOR
"COHPET" ON MAY 21
Winning Company Will Lead
Shirt-Tail Parade on Evening
of Big Event.
Great enthusiasm is manifesting it
self daily throughout the cadets over
the approaching competitive drill -on
May 21. Due to the unfortunate delay
in the matters of uniforms and equip
ment the different companies and
batteries have been immeasureably
retarded in their development and
progress. However with the day of
the competition only one week off
he various organizations with the
help of all the men are bending every
offort to make their Organization
worthy of first place.
It is understood that the winning
company will lead the shirt-tail parade
that will take place that evening.
Likewise, the cadet who wins in the
individual competition will lead the
whole parade. The entire program
for this day will be announced offi
cially next week.
It is fully expected that Major W.

Attempted Murder
In Class
One girl and two men armed w-ith
revolvers ran wildly into the midst
of a class, fired at each other and
tried to escape Wednesday in Social
Science Building. One man Jumped
out of a window; he was pursued by a
man in the class, but escaped. The
girl disappeared either by a window
or door; testimony varies. The other
man, who proved to be a detective,
was caught and held by a man in the
class. The police have no clue to
the whereabouts of the couple that
escaped.
The names of the man and woman
that escaped are not known. The de
tective states that they are both
young, perhaps not more than 22
years of age. He attempted to arrest
them. They ran away, and he ran
after them. He followed them into
