University basketball men will referee the most of the contests wiille the students will be used thru out as time-keepers, doormen und scorers. A fino exhibition of the eago sport will undoubtedly be given to the fol owers of the tournament. In classes A, B and C, especially are teams which have been well trained in the fundamentals of basKeioall and thru out ti'e season have been fciving snappy battles to their opponeuis. Tin' univpruitv students should do their best to entertain the visiting boys during the tournament. Every one of the men is a possible future student of Nebraska and his future course in higher education may be detei mined by the impression which lie received during his brief three day sojourn at the university. Tins following resume of home high school games played last week may give some "dope" on championship caliber in the upper classes. Games of the Week. Lincoln high school tossed a load ol worry into the class A interschol astie camps last week when the capital city lads decisively drubbed the Oma ha Central quintet, 27 to 15. It was either an "off night" for the Cen tralities or else the Omaha five had been over-rated, for the Red and Black found little trouble in scoring or pene trating the Omaha defense. The calibre of the Lincoln scoring machine was shown in the first forty seconds of the game, when Lewis F.rown and 0:ds chalked up fie points. The Lincoln defense was in evidence throughout the first half, the Central es failing to score in the first seven teen minutes of play. Lincoln lost its second game of the season during the week. Sutton high turned the trick on the Clay county court. The Sutton lads won 23 to 16. Omaha Central walloped Omaha Commerce early in the week, 19 to 8. The defeat, however, did not dismay the Book-keepers, who are matched with the Centralites in the first round of the tourney. Commerce expects to avenge the defeat in the game Thursday. Kearney handed Gothenburg a 23 to 21 defeat. Gothenburg came back and stopped the speedy Curtis Aggie five, 25 to 11, and also walloped Lex ington 30 to 13. South Omaha showed a reversal of form and trounced Nebraska City, 25. Superior romped over Edgar. 50 to 4- University Place collected Co lumbus and Schuyler scalps on a two-day road trip. Schuyler was de feated, 27 to 16. Columbus ran the Methodists a close race but lost 28 to 24. (Continued on Pace 4 ) Student Life Section Needs Contributions The Student Life section of Every body's Cornhusker is waiting for worthwhile contributions. Perhaps you have in mind a hap pening of amusing nature that has Involved several campus luminaries. Perhaps you have thought of a cari caturo of some campus personage or organization that would make a val uable addition to the Student Life Section. One thing however, must be remem bered, emphasizes Editor Randol, when writing material for the Student Life suction. He Insists that this year's annual be free from personal avenues of revenge that have been so popular in the past few years,. The Cornhusker, he Bays should not bo the instrument by which vengen nnce can be meted out by one down trodden Individual against another. There is a vast difefrence between experiences that are really amusing and those that are void of all traces it humor, because of the smuttiness, sarcasm and other undersirable means that have been used In relating them to catch the students' eye. So many things happen during ihe school year that would be classed as really ridiculous, were they known and recorded. So many so-called fam ous -campus visages could be caused U. blush or even worse if some small tale involving them were told. And yet these incidents, these character isations, those mirrors whereby 'we see our selves as others see us" do not have to contain racy material in order to'"get across." They do not have to incorporate Into themselves slang, sarcastic words, direct smms on physical characteristics or indi vidual "cracks." Write some really amusing material and hurry with it to the Cornhusker office. The Student Life section is waiting. students Should Hand Names in Tctlsy if They Wish Parts in Program April 7. At 5 o'clock this evening the den line on applications for places in th acts of tho variety show, to bo given undor the direction of the unitersiiy lyceum board at the Orpheum theater April 7 falls. Student? desiring part in the different numbers must hav their names together with the type of acts they prefer to take pirt in into the student activities office be fore that time.' Tryouts for the casts of the acts will be held the latter part of this week and the results of the tryouts announced as soon as Is possible Only the best talent obtainable is to be selected by the board as the show is to be a true representation of the talent which the .University of Ne braska has. Some of the acts which will be sent out into the state as a part of University week will be shown at the variety show. Costs of transporta tion which are very heavy on acts with large casts will serve to enable better and larger acts to be selected for the Lincoln show. The variety show Is an innovation Into the annual University week ly ceum programs. Lincoln people have long felt that they were being slighted when tho university each spring va cation sent good, programs over the state as a part of the work in ex tension. They felt that the f.iifca liv ing next door to the univeralry stu dents should be given a chance to see the students in action. For this rea son the lyceum board decided this year to produce a program for the benefit of Lincoln people. The variety show as being worked out by the board will contain from eight to ten acts of a varying na ture. Comedy, feature, dramatic and musical acts will make up tho num bers. Acts of a feature and unusual nature are particularly desired for the show and suggestions of all kinds will be gadly welcomed by the com mittee. These should be turned into the student activities office. ThA variety show will take much the nature of an, Orpheum vaudeville performance. One-act skits, musical and dramatic features and comedy nsrformancea will be preteent in abundance. Most of the best amateur talent in the state is contained in the student body of the university and Lincoln people should be treated (Continued on page 4.) Y.W.

Sigma Delta Chi, professional jour nalistic fraternity, held( Initiation for five men Sunday afternoon in the Dramatic club rooms in the Temple building. The following men were initiated: Herbert Brownell, jr. Edward Buck. James Fiddock. Ward M. Randol. Reede Reynolds. These men have been pledges to the (fraternity for some time. Brow nell and Buck are both night eauois on the Dally Nebraskan. Randol Is editor of the 1922 Cornhuskei and Reynolds is junior managing editor elect of the 1923 Cornhusker. Fid- dock is business manager of the Daily Nebraskan. After the initiation ceremonies a dinner for the new members was held at the Grand hotel, a short bus! ness meeting was also held. The an nual banquet of the fraternity will probably come during the alumni homecoming week In June. Plans for this affair were discussed at the Sun day meeting. COHIIIEE PLANS FOR ALUMNI WEEK Plans for Big June Event Discus sed Students do not Have to Stay Extra Time. Alumni and student committees in charge of the alumni week program to be put on in June met Monday noon for a luncheon at the commer cial club. Plans for the extensive program were discussed but nothing definite was decided. Members of the alumni committee are Fred I. Archibald, Dean Seavey, Marcus Poteet, Harold F. Holtz, Mr. Campbell and 'Mr. Halllgan. Members of the student executive committee are Margaret Henderson, Adelheit Dettman, Katherine Wills, Marjorie Barstow, Robert Van Pelt, Hawley Barnard, Ward Randol and Asa Hepperley. Many students are under the im pression that they will have to stay at school throughout the alumni week. This is "not necessary, however, as students will be allowed to leave as soon as their examinations are over. This will be two days earlier than usual because of the forging ahead of the final tests two days in order to make room for the week of fun to follow. It i3 believed that stu dents should take it upon themselves to stay and help the university enter tain the graduates so that alumni week mey be made more successful than would be otherwise possible. Cornhusker Office Is In Throes Of Redecoration All This Week "Laus 'o mercy," have you seen tho Cornhusker office? Well we surely got "skeared" when we poked our heads Into the door of the office and "seen" what w saw. Before we go into detail wo must exrlain that our object ,,in poking our heads into the room at all was merely to offer our services and in quire of the authorities therein whether they had a little drawing or jA'rtt,Ing to bp Vdid)' for the year book. But what greeted our eyes what far from what we had antici pated. Tho office looked as if it had been raided after a Sunday of dissipation. The desks and tables were pushed in the center and covered over with a dirty looking cover. Everything was tonsy-urvey. The terrible- looking men were standing on ladders on each side of the room debuting paint on the walla. The awful realization that the Cornhusker office was being re decorated came to us. Now what a silly thing to do, this time of the year, when the use of the office is so imperative. Why, the Cornhusker office looked perfectly "splooferous" last week. Everything was so nice and neat, and one could come in at any time to work (or see who was working). We would just like to know the big idea of going to all that expense of time and money TRYOUTS FOR GLEE CLUB ARE TOMORROW Male Chorus Members to be Se lected in Competition Wed nesday Evening. Tryouts for places in the newly or ganized men's glee club of the Uni versity of Nebraska will ba held Wed nesday evening at 8 o'clock iu the faculty room of the Temple building. Every male students of the itnivti sity who can sing Is urged to try out for a place In tne chorus. Parvin White, widely recognized leader of singing clubs, will have charge of the Cornhusker glee club, which the organization will bo named He will undoubtedly turn out a chor us which will rival that of any othu school In the country. It has long been felt that Univer sity of Nebraska students do not sin as much as they should and it wa this feeling which prompted a gr-vjp of students to meet with Harold F Holtz, secretary of the alumni assJ ciation and plan tho Cornhusker glee club. Letters have been sent to every fraternity and sorority in school ur tng the men to try out for places on the chorus and the girls to uige the men to try out. The best material in the university is wanted. HOTEL RUGS STOLEN DURING UNI PARTY Valuable Navajo Blankets Disap pear During Saturday Eve ning Dance. Two expensive Navajo blankets, property of the Lincoln hot?l. were stolen from the dressing rooms of the hotel last Saturday evening during the formal party of Delta Upsilon, ac cording to announcement of hotel au thorities and members of the frcter nity made last night. Indinnation and surprise that such a regrettable affair should occur have been expressed by the management and by Nebraska alumni who were informed of tho affair shortly hfter the party. Investigation, which was immediately instituted after tho theft was reported, showed that university sfidents were responsible for the Ilsses. Several petty thefts from th rooms were also discovered and aided in establishing the identity of tuoso responsible for the affair. Members of the fraternity were hesitant about bringing immediate action against those responsible and nave decided to allow a chance for the rugs to be returned. A short time will therefore be given in which tne rugs may be returned, according tho to announce ment made Monday evening after a conference between the hotel man agement and members of the frater nity. The fraternity members Lave (Continued on page 4.) to beautify an office that, to our eyes, was already beautiful. Whv. it made us feel terrible to be turned away from the office when we had come such a groat, distance to as sist in getting out the best book in the history of the school. The fright ful part was that there was no other place to go and work, no room had been reserved, In other worln, we had'nt been locked out for. We car ried our grievances over to the "K m" office and what do you think? Borne foolish person dared to say, "Oh, Is'nt it Just lovely that they ure having tho Cornhusker office fixed up or the new staff to work in; it, is such a revelation." Revelation, "mo eye," we think it s the "berries. When we asked those two awful men what they were doing one said, "What do we look like, we ro doin misses, shootin' craps in an ice-cream narlor?" Now. wasn't that the rudest thing ever? Then we tremblingly in quired how long It would be before the office could be used again. The other "Interior decorator" said, "It won't be more 'n two weeks, yuh might flit in about that time and soy." Two weeks, why the very idea, never heard of such a thing. After all we found out that ihe nlaco Is'nt coiner to be used for. trie Cornhusker office at a'.l, but that the Alumni office is going to occupy that room and the Cornhusker office is coiner to move in the basement .f the Administration building whore ihe Alumni office has been here to tore. Gosh, we wish that they would K'U us when thev are coins to make changes like that and we wouldn't run our legs off looking for the place. Believe us, it is going to be a cold day before we are so liberal with our services again. ALPHA THETA CHI IS New Constitution and Change in Membership Announced By Fraternity. The Alpha Thota Chi fraternity, or ganized at the University of Nebras ka twenty-seven years ago, and which numbers among its two hundred twenty-five alumni some of the most distinguished graduates of the uni versity has filed articles of incorpora tion with the secretary of state. Coin cident with the incorporation, a re vised constitution for the government of the entire fraternity has been adopted, and provision has been made for the establishment of alumni chap ters in various parts of the Uuittd States. A thorough reorganization cf the active chapter has resulted in the re chartering of the following individ uals who constitute nc new active chapter: 1 Gurdon F. Uplinger, Beryl J. Arm strong, John M. Spear, Clyde B. Ellis, Myron L. Marshall, DeForest Mc- Cauley, F. Scott Puliver, E. T. Phil- brick, John C. Macey, Carl W. Peter son, Clarence F. Moulton, Leonard E. Hammang, Paul C. Kreuch. Or pheus L. Polk, Roy H. Gustaftun, Ho. ward M. Reed. In the reorganizatn the follow in men, until recently active members of Alpha Theta Chi, are no longer affiliated with the fraternity: Edwin Lames, Joseph Dick, Fioyd Slasor, Raymond R. Watson, , Franii Ellermeler. The alumni feel that the high stand ards which Alpha Theta Chi haa es tablished for true fellowship, gcutie menly conduct and . excellence in scholarship, will be assured of main tenance in the hands of the reor ganized active chapter. Over forty alumni of the fraternity attended the re-chartering of the active chap ter at the fraternity hous last Mon day evening.

ANNUAL VOTE OF SENIOR IN 8001 Fourth Year Men to Cast Ballots for the Innocents of Next Year. ELECTION BOOTH OPEN ON WEDNESDAY, MAR. 15 Social Science Hall to be Scene of Balloting for Honorary Membership. All men in the senior cIiihs wlil bo given tln opportunity to state their piefuronoes for the thirteen men who are to bo chosen us numbers of tho Innocents society, at an election to bo hold on Wednesday, Maryli J5 un der the auspices of this year's Inuo cents. The balloting will bo held on thft first foor of Social Science hall uu ing the day. Copies of the umoal list of junior men eligible for selec tion and eloction into the men's sen ior honorary organization will be on hand. Members of the Innocents will be on hand. Members of the Inno cents will be at the polls. Each man in the sonlor class is given tha op portunity to vote lor thirteen nun or any number undor thirteen that ho chooses. The balloting for members of the Innocents society was started b last year's men in order that Ihe selec tions might be more representative of the class and school and be cliosta on a strictly democratic basis. The first balloting was done in response to a demand on tho part of th? stu dent body for some such arrangement as was used by the senior women )n selecting the thirteen girls who are to make up tho Black Masque or Mortarboard the succeeding year. The Mortarboard election has already been held this spring. No announcement of the names of the men selected by the vote will be made in thp near future as the tap ping of the newly elected men takes place, by tradition, in connection with the annual Ivy day exercises. The Innocents are tapped in the after noon of that day soon after the Mor tarboards have been masqucd and fol lowing the crowning of the May Queen in the morning. An impres sive ceremony by the active men in their red gowns precedes tho indi vidual selection from the crowds of students and alumni. This year the tapping will be held on Ivy clay during alumni week. Tho present schedule of that wek makes Ivy day come on the first day of June. Indications from the alumni office are that many mora alumni than usual will be present to wiinc-ss the coremonies than for some time. A list of senior nun is being pre pared by the registrar's office to bo used in tho election next week. Only men on fait list will be allowed to cast 'i ballot, as no undcrr-nssmen are included according to the plans adopted for carrying out the elec tion. The plan of having senior men aid in the selection of members of the senior nun's honorary organization met with success last spring and was heartily endorsed by the student body through student opinions in uie col lego pres3 and general conversation around the campus. The members of this years society nave fc't them selves in no way bound by the action of last year's men bc have decided that tho plan used by them is tile fairest and most democratic method of determining student opinion cn the men who are to be chosen. Definite plans fr the ballsing, in cluding the time in which th? elec tion booth will be open have not as yet been decided but will be an nounced within a few days by the committee from the organization which has been selected to manago the polling. One day has been de cided upon as sufficient time lor all senior men to express their prefer ence. WISCONSIN DAILY ON COMPENSATION "The Workman's Compensation act ot Wisconsin Is not as liberal today as it was at the time the law was first put into effect because of the higher wage standard and the higher liing costs of today as compared with a few years ago." declared Fred M. Wilcox, chairman of tin Wisconsin industrial commission, in a talk given to the Progressive club in the cham bers of the secretary of state, last night. (Continued on page 4.)
