Inter-fraternity Meet and Final
Drake Tryouts are to be
This Week
i The inter college track meet Satur
day was the biggest track meet from
the standpoint of numbers ever hold
at the University, 161 athletes par
ticipating and the fastest time of all
former intermural noqts was sur
passed d" spite the fact that there was
a strong wind. The work of a' num
ber of men such as Nowlin, Troxler,
Crecellus, Crites, Joy, Parks, Cozier,
Gibbs, Woodward, Frazier, Green and
many others, all novices, points them
out as valuable men for next year's
cinder path team.
The Arts and Science team, who
won the college meet, were hard
pressed throughout the contest, as no
college failed to furnish strong com
petition. Every event found a large
number of entries and all were
marked by close finishes. Coach
Schulte was very much pleased with
the meet. He declared that the rec
ords made were exceedingly good and
that the performance argued well for
Nebraska's track team for the next
few years.
Varsity Men Do Well
The Varsity preliminary tryouts, ac
cording to Coach Schulte, were very
satisfactory. The work of the varsity
athiletes In the quarter was first
class. The men running In the mile
chewed up well and a fast four-mile
rtlay team is expected.
Prospects for a winning 440 relay
team are bright. With Captain Ed
Smith and Dave Deerlng, veterans, as
t nucleus and Dave Noble, star sprint
er, almost sure of a place, Nebraska
track fans are asured of a fast team
in this event. Lukens will probably
be the fourth man on this team. The
S?0 relay team will probaby present
the same lineup, with the possibility
f Lnyton crowding one of the other
runners out.
A four-mile relay team, capable of
running a strong race against the best
In the country, Is being formed. With
Allen, who won the Valley indoor mile
In 4:.10 4 5, Gardner, another indoor
inner, Slemmons, Fischer, Coats and
a number of other fast milers con
t'.rline for places, the four-mile team
undoubtedly be of the highest calibre.

men win be held next Saturday, April
22. This meet, which has already
aroused much attention, threatens to
excite moro Interest and rivalry than
the college meet. The various frater.

Armory to be Scene of Last Party
of Year on Evening of
April 22

ably the last one of the season, will
be staged this coming Saturday even
ing in the University Armory, the
home of the many pleasant and enter
taining parties which have been given
by the All University Party Commit
tee during the past yoar.
As this is probably the last party
that will be given by the committees
which have been functioning for the
last school year, efforts are being
made to make it one of the best of the
season.
Rain interfered somewhat with the
attendance at the last party but It is
hoped that the weather man will be
good this next Saturday and that a
large crowd will attnod the party. A
snappy orchestra has -been secured
and refreshments will be served dur
ing the evening. The admission will
be only twenty five cents so that no
one will be pecuniarily embarrassed
Those parties are not date affairs

pecially those who do not have the
more formal functions to attend, will
take advangtage of these parties and
mix with their fellow students and
gain a closer friendship with them.
All University students are invited.
Armory, Saturday April 22nd at eight
thirty. DELIAN MEN GIVE
PROGRAM FRIDAY
"For the purpose of showing what
young men can do!" was the basis
on which the young men of Delian
worked up and produced their enter
tainment Friday night in Social
Science auditorium. From the old
theater owner and leader of the band,
with his tin horn and its "I've seen
my best days whine,' to the last lit
tle ditty sung by the Delian "ladies,"
the old barrel remained on duty.
The skit "TWin Beds in two parts,'
was a scream from the first bit of wit
until the real twins very much differ
ent from their appearance In the
first act, left for their eight o'clocks.
"You ought to See Her Now," present
ed the story of an ambitious high
flung girl coming to University,
backed by her cow-boy dad to become
the leader in the wild and spirited
life of a society belle. But under the
Influence of the Delian spirit she and
her group become noble and Ideal
representatives of University woman
hood. The dancing skit put on by
the Syncopated sisters (hardly twins)
and their partners held the house
speechless inside splitting laughter
as they presented the long and short,
as well as the awkward grace and
hand painted beauty, of Delian men
behind the footlights.
Curtain acts conslstlnf of Jokes
straight from the barrel, readings and
songa, were brought to a climax by
the reading, "The House By the Side
of the Road." It was especially ex
pressive as the fellowship and good
will existing in literary societies, for
of the large audience a number were
Palladians and Unions.

INDUSTRIAL GROUPS
ARE T01 SENT OUT
Y. M. and Y. W. to Sponsor Ex
cursions in Nebraska During
Vacation
The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C.
A. are planning to send out industrial
groups again this summer. These
summer industrial groups were
started two years afo in Denver for
the purpose of helping young men
and women, who are interested in the
industrial problems, to understand
them better and to get inside Inform
ation on how to cope with the situa
tion. Each week the group would get
together in a seminar to discuss con
ditions and problems they had en
countered. During this first summer
three of the men were involved in the'
Tramway strike at Denver. The group
was consequently able to get both
sides of the case and to get some
valuable experience and information
in a real industrial problem.
The plan was carried out last sum
mer in both Omaha and Denver in a
like manner. There was four of our
own university students in the Omaha
group and some in the Denver group.
Some of those at Omaha who worked
in the packing industry lived dight
there in South Omaha with the work
ing class and thus obtained a first
hand knowledge of the laborer's view
point. Some of the co-eds who were
in the Denver group reported that
they found the average wage of the
common working girl or woman to
be about nine dollars per week and
that the living and working conditions
were very bad.
This summer the Y. M. C. A. and
the Y. W. C. A. are combining their
effoffrts in the industrial movement
Here In Nebraska the movement is
being sponsored by the "Y. M," the "Y
W," and the Industrial Research club,
Preliminary to the summers work
these organizations are carrying on
a series of meetings known as the
coaching groups to give the students
the back ground of their work and
to instruct them as to the conditions
they might expect to come in contact
with. The first meeting will be con
ducted tonight from seven to eight
by Dr. Huntington, the subject for
discussion being the "Psychology of
Labor."
The second meeting will be held on
April 25, and it will be conducted b
Mrs. Williams. The subject will bo
The Application of Christian Prin
cipals to Industry. She will point
out the major issues and problems of
community life in small towns and
in cities. The third lecture will be
given by either Fred O. Kelly of the
Y. M. C. A. or by Mr. Stephens of
Denver, on Democracy in Industry.
From this elcture we will learn the
practical methods of approaching
the laboring people in an effort to get
an insight to the problems.
At the end of the meetings, sug
gestive questloneers will be given out
which will touch on the conditions
which the students will encounter
Then next fall in a series of meetings
those who have gone out In some one
of the groups will give an acount of
their experiences. Only about fifteen
will be permitted to go out with the
Industrial groups from the univers
Ity. Therefore if you wish to go notify
Dr. Huntington at once. This series
of meetings are open to all who are
interested in this work and we urge
you to attend.
DR. HENRY COPE WILL
SPEAK TO NEBRASKANS
On Tuesday, April the 25th, Dr.
Henry F. Cope will speak to student?
of the university on the subject, "The
Challenge of Democracy." Dr. Cope
Is general secretary of the religious
education association of America,
with offices at Chicago. Consider
able local interest is being manifest
ed in this address.
AGS TO MEET IN
DAIRY AUDITORIUM
A big sign on the bulletin board of
Ag Campus reads "Ag College Mass
Meeting, Tuesday, 7: oil, in uu Dairy
Auditorium. Every loyal Ag out."
Half of the Ags will be "out" for sure
because the Dairy Auditorium only
seats two hundred. The only topic for
discussion will bo Farmers Fair, but
that will be enough to draw every Ag
man and woman as near to the front
row of that room as they can possibly
squeeze. Suggestion ami ideas which
are sailing around in thu air will be
roped in und anchored fast in a defi
nite outline and program. Most com
mittees are ready to make reports of
work done and work planned. Every
one will have the opportunity of air
ing their ideas to the members of the
Fair Board who plan to circulate
among various committee meetings
offering assistance and advice where
over they see the opportunity. Farm
ers Fair less than three weeks away
seems almost an impossibility but It
is a fact. On Saturday, May G, the
Ags will entertain the world as well
as their friends of the city campus
with the greatest Farmers Fair staged
by Nebraska or any other stale.
