basket flippers belonging to some
226 teams registered In the twyifth
annual state high school br.iketball
tournament, March 9, 10 and 11. Fif

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.

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

SIGMA DELTA GUI
HOLDS INITIATION
Five Men Enter National Honor
ary Journalistic Fraternity
Sunday Afternoon.
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

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.

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
