ticu from the eastern clubs.
Already some of the musical hits

Alpha Dolta PI girls are ,1'eeling
real, jubilant today. Their bronze
name plate has been returned. How
ever they are still in the dark as to
who took said plate last December
tho 22 or whom returned it Sunday.
Mystery surrounds the manner iu
which this plate was returned. At
9:30 Sunday morning one of the
girls went out onto the front pjrch
to secure the morning paper. There
was no evidence of the plata being
In sight. Still, as she was sleepy
she might tusily have overlooked it.
About 11 when another girl wns
called to welcome her early date she
discovered the aforesaid namo plate
hanging on tho door knob.
The peculiar thing about the wholo
affair is that the Alpha Dells had
given in an order for a new bronzo

LARGE CROWDS AT
ART ASSOCIATION
Annual Reception at Exhibit
Draws Many Lincoln
People.
The annual exhibtion of the Ne
braska Art Association began Monday
evening with a large opening recep
tion. The number of people in at
tendance at the reception was the
largest in the history of the associa
tion. Music was furnished by the
University orchestra and Dr. Lowrey
gave the customary talk on the exhib
ition. He stressed the fact that the
work of every artist of note has at
some time been shown in the Lincoln
Exhibition. He gave a very appreci
ative running comment on the pic
tures on display this year.
Mr. F. M. Hall, presient of the
Art Association outlined the new plan
on which the exhibition is being held..
He made a strong plea for the mem
bers to continue their contributions
which alone will make it posible to
continue the exhibitions on the pres
ent plan.
Mr. F. M. Hall called attention to
the fact that this year completes tho
fortieth year of the local Art associ
ation, and expressed great gratifica
tion that not only has the Association
a stronger footing but the University
has developed a successful school of
Fine Arts.
The trustees of the Association,
members of the faculty and promin
ent stock holders acted as an especial
reception committee. Tea was served
in the China room under the direc
tion of Mrs. C. F. Ladd chairman of
the social committee.
Prof. Grumman will give talks on
the different paintings on Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock. The University
orchestra will play Thursday evening
at 7:30.

A whole library containing mah
uels of general military work and of
the different equipment on hand, i3
included in this list. There Is on
small tool chest, the contents of
which are so diversified, that it must
be listed on sixty different sheets of
large manila pasteboard. Theie are
boxes of ammunition for machine
guns, riries, cannon, and aulr.-iatie
rifles, pistola and other pieces or
ordnance. Then there are canned
rations, outfits for all kinds of weafh
er, bugles, canteans, shoe fitters,
mimeographs, gun cleaning materia's,
spare parts and accessories for every
thing, maps, target rifles and every
thing else under the sun. The uni
versity chancellor is responsible fr-r
all of these goods and the university
must furnish a large bond to guar
antee their safe keeping.
appropriated said plate got wind of
this and lost their hardheartedness
long enough to designate one of their
number to return it. Or what Is more
likely, they wore Influenced by the
prayers and sighs that the Alpha
Dolts put up .when they were in
formed that they were to bo taxed
for the new plate.
At any rate, the girls are not kick
ing about the return of the plate,
and only regret that it has been gone
so long. The plate was a gift of
the freshmen and its loos was neen
ly felt by the sorority. Now they
have cancelled their order and advise
anyone who loses articles under slm
ilar circumstances to write a story in
the Dally Nebraskan about it Then
It will be sure to be returned. Pos
sibly the ones who did this trie
were the same ones who tried to
swipe the Kappa Delfs dinner gong
last spring.
Nebraska's military department has
been exceptionally fortunate in se
curing the equipment for the students
who are taking tho drill course here.
The large stock of supplies on hand
compares favorably with that In any
of the colleges where R.- O. T. C.
cadets are drilling under regular army
officers. The university is directly
responsible for the equipment to the
war department. The individual stu
dent in town must return to the local
military department all equipment
which is issued to him at the begin
ning of the school year.

FRESHMAN LECTURE
T
Prof. F. M. Fling Tells of History
of Washington Arms Limitation-
Conference.
Professor F. M. Fling adressed the
freshmen Monday afternoon and Tues
day morning, taking for his subjec.
the Washington Disarmament confer
ence. He traced the historical back
ground of the conference, describing
the aims and accomplishments of the
Versailles treaty, the events leading
up to the call for the Washington con
ference, and the several agreements
which are the outgrowth of the de
liberations. Professor Fling emphasiz
ed that in order to understand present
world events one must have a compre
hensive knowledge of history.
Inventions and discovery have
made the world smaller according tq
the speaker and people are coming
to realize that America is only part
of an interdependent society. Peo
ple before the war began to appreciate
that despite the universal desire for
permanent peace, it could never
coma by just spontaneous action. One
nation such as Germany could upse
the aspirations of all the rest. Some
international organization had to b
agreed upon to insure peace.
Frofessor Fling referred to a book
he bought in Paris in 1910 written by

LARGE AMOUNT FOR
EUROPEAN STUDENTS
Pledges of $3,300 Are Given by
Nebraska University for
Relief Work.
The University of Nebraska did so
well in subscribing to the student re
lief fund for European students that
the University of Illinois sent for in
formation so they could put on a simil
arly successful drive this week.
$1314 has already been sent In through
the Herbert Hoover fund handling
European Student Relief arid with the
pledges the amount will total between
$3200 and $3300.
In Russia and Germany the money
will be used to provide the absolute
necessities of life without which the
student population must be arbitrarily
reduced. Since 1914 one-third of the
medical men in Russia have died as 8
result of war and pestilence. The
country needs men educated to take
their places. To live in Moscow and
not go hungry is worth 40,000 rubles
monthly (a ruble normally Is worth
50 cents). Such is the terribly con
dition that ten or more students in
Russia alone, starve dally. Our
friendly aid will encourage, inspire
and reenergize the very life of stu
dents over there.
All organizations which have
pledged or are contemplating pledg
ing money to this worthy cause arc
asked to have the money in by March
first.

HAWKEYE WRESTLERS
PREPARE FOR MEET
Iowa Mat Men Take Strenuous
Workout for Nebraska Match
Next Saturday.
Iowa City, Iowa, Feb. 21 After tak
ing all but two matches from the
strong Purdue wrestling team, the
Hawkeyes are working this week for
the match with Nebraska on Satur
day. Coach Mike Howard is very well
satisfied with the showing made by
his team last week, and thinks that
they have a very good chance to go
through the season undefeated.
There are two weak spots in the
Hawkeye team, though, the 145 and
the heavyweight divisions. Bob Smith
145 pound wrestler of two years' ex
perience has been declared ineligible,
and there is no man at the present
time who is capable to taking the
place. Captain Sweeney, 135 pound
man. wrestled In both classes against
Purdue, winning in his weight by a
fall and losing the other on decision
Johnny Heldt, in the heavyweight
class will be a tough man to handle
after a little experience, but now he
is hardly ablt to cope with the best
heavyweights of the conference. He
is a fighter, though, and is a danger
ous man at all times.
Pfeffer, 115 pound wrestler and
James in the 158 pound classes, wres
tied their flrsf conference matches
against Purdue. Pfeffer is built like
Bweeney and wrestles nearly ithe
same way. He should do wonders
after he finds out that he is really
good. James did not have much of a
chance to show his stuff last week
as his match went only 1:20, when
he picked up his opponent and slam
med him to the mat, taking the fall
after his oponent was unable to rise.
He is fast and speedy, and should
be able to win most of his matches
Prospects are indeed bright at Iowa
for the best wrestling team in the
history of the University, and the
game is receiving the support this
year that has never before been given
to a wrestling team.

Famous Psychology Fresh Air Class
Finds Remedy For
If you should ever see a crowd of
students rushing into Social Science
at 10 o'clock of a morning and th6se
same students were ail bundled up in
kitty-hoods, scarfs, fur-llned shoes
and mittens! and navajo blankets,
would you be surprised? Would you
think it was an expedition outiittiag
for the south or the north pole, or
would you attribute it to some new
style from the effete east, even as
young Lochinvar swooped out of the
west? Well, in either case you would
be wrong, entirely wrong. These
heavily garbed eds and co-eds are
none other than mombers of the fam

The probable lineup for Nebraska in
the Oklahoma contest will be as fol

wards; Warren, center; and liiddles
berger and Russell, guards. This
combination has been showing up
well in the workouts and is expected
to start the Sooner game.
The Sooner basket tossers have
been exhibiting a good brand of ball
lately and are expected to give the
Huskers a stiff battle. Captain Waite
of the Sooners is one of the most

This is the class where you learn
