Fair Co-Eds Hike
To Armory On
Rainy Friday
A rainy Friday in the gymnasium'
The most popular place on the cam
pus. The smell of damp wool laj
heavy on the steamy atmosphere oi
the dressing room that was crowded
with noisy, restless girls seeking a
shelter from the downpour without.
Wherever there wns a clotting of th
crowd, one knew a radiator was near
by. Umbrellas in every comer we.-a
forming slowly widening puddles
rnd wet oxfords were strewn OTei
the floor. The heavy shower at 1"
oVlock discouraged classes for manv
for the rest of tho day, so off with
the wet shoes and clothes and into
the comfortable gym clothes lhe
hopped.
Unusual interest was shown it th
two gymnasiums for the day. DIscov
erleg were beine made of ladders,
horses, swings and punching bags,
and what was usually considered as
unsightly equipment became tho
means of lively indoor sports. In one
corner two feminine pugilists wen.
"biffing" each other with regulatlo
boxing gloves in a final practice for
the ig Circus, to take place the n"
day. The larger girl was getting the
best bf the match until a "fly
swatted by an .aspiring "Babe" on a
nearby diamond, knocked her out In
the second round. The match ceased
w-ith no decision. Some coeds were re
calling their youth fcy "skinning th
cat" and hanging by their knee., on
the parallel bars, thers were losing
their dignity by holding a Jacks tour
nament on the floor. The caraiva
reached It helghth about mldarter
Boon when the showers ceased an
the crowd began to thin.

PROFESSOR SMITH
TALKS TO ENGINEERS
Prof. C. W. Smith of the engineer
ing department, gave a recent address
to members of the engineering de
partment. Ho spoke on "A.mVultunl
Engineering." The speaker empha
sized the fact that service is the key
note, in any branch of work is th-i
citerion for the amount of hervice it
renders, the demand also makes for
enumeration: it goes with sen-ice
rendered.
Agricultural engineering is of most
importance in rural communities. For
example the testing of tractors at the
State Farm is for the protection of
the farmer. In the experimental field,
there is the study for the saving of
power in farming. The speaker said
that the demand for engineers was
increasing with the modern equipment
being put on the farm.
Professor Smith stated that the
agricultural engineer has more of an
opportunity to meet pleasant and cul
tured people than many other en
gineers, for the country Is not filled
with Ignorant people.
A few announcements were made in
regard to Engineers' Week and Field
Day.

tion to the members of the legislature

walls.

has been very good lately, according
to Prof. Barbour who is in charge.
Approximately a hundred people took
advantage of the opportunity to in

ALPHA ZETA FAVORS
HONOR SYSTEM HERE
Alpha Zeta, honorary agricultural
fraternity, went on record as favoring
the institution of the honor system at
Xebraska University by a vote taken
at a regular business meeting last
Thursday evening. Alpha Zeta's reso
lution, without a dissenting vote, is an
indication of the Ag student's faith In
the system. During the discussions
preceding the vote the opinion was
repeatedly expressed that the honor
system failed to carry in the last elec
tion because students did not fully
understand its operation.

at the mansion of the Stanliws wher
a large reception is taking place. Ai
the girls in this act have stunning
costumes to show off and the curiou
will find that the 'lines" at a largo
affair of this sort are almost infeiior
to the "lines" daily sprung on the

is the watchful mother and her inr.v

fills daughter's dance card. The thiro

invites comment as to its business
"atmosphere."
Walter Herbert. Xeil Brown, Cyrii

year to capacity houses. His work in
the rehearsals has been an inspiration
to all the other members of the cast.
Lucile Foster makes her bow as the
charming heroine and her work is ah
offering of the best type. She is wcli
suited to her part and is an ideal leas
ing woman.
The lesser characters all have er
collent parts as they supply the come
dy of the piece and many laughs are
sure to result from the character
work of these people. The play itseh,
the cast and the work and amount o.
direction expended on all point the
biggest success the Players have erei
done.

Farm Juniors Scale
High lank To Show
Their Class Numerals
The night was dark, the clouds
hung low, everything was st'H, the
turmoil of tho day's activities had
ceased, when a few stenlthly figures
stole silently ove rthe University fain
campus, and halted at the foot of tho
TO foot water supply tank just east
of the Animal Husbandry building.
Scaling the heights of this towct
would be considered a dare devil fea
by most people in broad day light, but
on a night when a slow driving rain
was falling and it was so dark that
it was almost impossible to see one s
hand ahead of them, it seems an as
most inconceivable task. Yet some
of the members of the School of Agri
culture Juniors performed this rash
act and disregarded all provisions of.
accident insurance policies or the
night of April 14.
The torrents of rain which fell Fri
day morning did not erase tin the
least the vandal marks of the night
marauders. The great bla;k tanK
showed forth its tell-tale story to a:i
who would read. For the first time in
11 years a Scbool of Agriculture
class overstepped tho unwritten law
of discretion, and misplaced their
class year ,'22, in large white numer
als. The class of 1910 of the School of
Agriculture perpetuated a similar
stunt, they used red paint instead of
white, and as a result their treasury
was almost depleted in paying the
University authorities for the applica
tion of several coats of black paint.
Just what punishment will be netted
to the present offenders has not been
made public as yet.
