SCHOLARSHIP REPORT
WAS PRELIMINARY
Regarding- the fraternity und sor
'ority scholarship standings for last
semester, which were published in
the Sunday edition of the Nebraskan
Dean Engborg yesterday issued the
following statement.
"The scholarship report published
in the Sunday edition was only a
preliminary report for "pep" pur
poses, and is subject to some changes
due to the fact that some of the
grades have not yet been recorded
by the instructors.
"The final and complete report
will bo issued together with the
second semester report at the open
ing of the. University next September.
"Due to the onmiisslon of one
name, Kappa Alpha Theta was re

The addition of this name raises the
average of the sorority sufficiently to
put it in the seventh place."

Free Outdoor Movies
At Ag College Fair
There'll be no excuse whatever for
missing the Farmers' Fair on the
evening of May 6 because of any r.d
herenee to the regular Saturday night
habit of attending a movie. An out
door movie may seem at first thought
entirely impossible, yet that's just
what there is in store for you' on Ag
Campus that evening. Films of the
University faculty members, recently
taken by Dr. Condra of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Soil Sur
vey, will be released for the first
time. The students of the University
bhould enjoy seeing their dear pro
fessors flit before their eyes in the
lispeliiht and the faculty members
themselves can slip into the back row
where they will be unnoticed and ac
tually see themselves as others see
them. Other films of Nebraska foot
ball games and of the Farmers' Fair
parade will be shown for the first
time to the Lincoln public. An excel
lent film of mountain scenery will
also be shown as a diversity and at
traction. This latter film is one out
of the ordinary in scenery and beau
ty, according to Dr. Condra, who is
to Le in charge of the show.
PRESTON IS ELIGIBLE
FOR 1922 GRID TEAM
The eligibility of Glen Preston,
star quarterback of the Missouri val

zoo, one as a freshman and another
as a sophomore, which now makes

iron as a varsity athlete and leaves
hirrf one more year of football, ac
cording to the Missouri Valley root-
ball ruling.
University Campus To Be Hum
Or Activity During Ronndup
"The Cornhusker Roundup." It's a
magnificent name, Isn't it? It brings
immediately thoughts of "grads" trav
eling from both coasts to attend tho
most lavish program ever prepared
for the alumni of Unlversltas Nebra3
kunsis. The atmosphere of June 13
will be closely akin to the Ak Sar-Ben
frolics in Omaha, to the Mummer fes
tivities of Philadelphia and to the fam
ous Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
The University of Nebraska campus
Is tho corral and every Bchool organi
zation is now busy rounding up alum
ni in all parts of the country. Chey
enne's Frontier Days will have noth
lug on the Cornhusker Roundup,
speaking in slang; the 8,000 alumm
who are expected to return will make
the campus look like a bustling citj
of Utopia origin.
Nearly every student is planning to
stay for the festivities. The sororities
and fraternities, almost unanimously,
have agreed to hold their banquets
Friday, June 2. Examinations have
been shifted ahead of the gala week,
in order that students will not be
compelled to remain In Lincoln longer
than any other year.

Two "grads" are coming from India
to attend the Roundup. Harvard and
Yale boust that they have "grads"
who travel from Seattle and San Fran
cisco to alumni celebrations, but Ne
braska has stepped ahead. India la
now her limit and it is safe to say
that it will remain a record for pany
years.
Someone has offered a prize to the
student or alumnus who will be able
to find a dull moment during the
Roundup festivities. If there are dull
moments, it is because the students
themselves make them dull by remain
ing away from the center of attrac
tions. The University of Nebraska will
be a big Midway a White City au
Al Fresco the first week in June.
When you write home the next time,
ask the members of your family who

TRYOUTS FOR GOLF
I
Men to Repesent Nebraska at Des
. Moines to be Chosen
Soon
All golfers in the University are
asked to entre the competition for
the Nebraska golf team, which will
represent the Cornhusker institution
at the Missouri Valley Conference
meet, Drake University, Des Moines.
Golfers who wish to compete for a
place on the Husker team must enroll
at the athletic office immediately, as
the matches will begin the first of
next week. An entry lee of one dollar
will be charged.
The plans call for much activity in
the national sport of Scotland. Be
sides the tryouts for the Scarlet and
Cream varsity team, there will be a
number of intramural affairs, includ
ing an inter-fraternity meet.
Tiie nominal entry fee of one dollar
for contestants is being charged in
order that enough money be liaised to
send the golfing team to the Valley
meet. As no money is realized from
this sport, the authorities are using
this plan to obtain the money to send
the team to this meet, in which a
large number of conference schoois
will participate.
Every person with golfing ability
is urged to enter the tryouts for the
Husker team. A large number of
golfers have already signified their
intention of trying out, and some in
teresting matches are promised in the
competition for the berths on the lat
est Husker athletic team, the golf
team.
Secret of Closing1
of Orpheum is Out
Wild speculations circulated from
mouth to mouth when the Orpheum
closed a few weeks ago but the real
reason has been kept a secret until
now. It's not supposed to be gener
ally known at all but well slip you
this much. So many of the star play
ers in all the shows offered in the
frpheum the past year wore Ags that
when the call cape to these true and
loyal supporters of Ag College from
t'.ic Farmers Fair Board for help with
the 1922 Fair, the regular cast of Or
pheum players were so thinned and
depleted that the management was
forced to close its doors to the pro
testing public. The lovers of high
class vaudeville which characterized
the old time Orpheum shows need no
longer shed big salty ones in mourn
ing for another pleasure gone but nev
er forgotten. These old time popular
favorites have been in hiding only be
cause their time has been so occupied
with their efforts to complete and
offer by Saturday, -May 6, at Farmers
Fair, the greatest theatrical produc
tion that Lincoln people will ever
have the opportunity to enjoy. These
players willingly made this greatest
sacrifice of their lives when they quit
the Orpheum to help their Farmers
Fair only on one condition that the
name of their new home be as nearly
like the Orpheup as possible. This
condition was readily adjusted by the
name Snorpheum by which the great
show will be known this year. A chor
us of twenty-five voices and a male
quartette will make it musical while
a toe dancer of world wide fame will
offer her best wiui the excellent as
sistance ot her graceful partner.

AMBASSADORS CLUB
TO MEET TOMORROW
The election of members into the
Ambassador club that is to be or
ganized Friday evening between 5
and 6 o'clock in the S. S. auditorium
will reflect the Cornhusker spirit
that exists, in the different towns
throughout the state.
There is no doubt that every town
represented by students at the uni
versity is aware of this organization
and is anxiously waiting to now who
her favorite son or daughter is that
has been given the honor to official
represent Nebraska in their town.
In the Sunday issue of this paper
the names of the numbers of the
Ambassadors club will be published
and opposite the name will be the
town which selected him.
The absence of names of towns can
be explained in only three ways.
Either the town does not have any
students down here or the students
of that town are indifferent and are
not loyal sons and daughters of Ne
braska or such students are ignorant
that such a club is being formed.
Remember the folks back home ex
pect you to do your duty and not
cast reflection upon them by failing
to elect a member to this club. After
one o'clock Friday it will be too
late. Every newspaper in Nebraska
will know whether or not the stu
dents of its town elected a member
and showed the true Cornhusker
spirit.
Is your town going to be in the
list of those published?
