Coach Schulte is taking the follow

four tennis players who will compete
ft the Valley tennis and golf tourna
ments will go with the track team in
their special car.
Nebraska won the Missouri Valley
championship last year in fairly easy
fashion but Coach Schulte faces a
different proposition this spring.
Floyd Wright and Fred Bale, a pair
of sure first place winners, h;:ve been
graduated and Nebraska is without a
man that can be safely counted on
for a first position.
"We are up against a real proposi
tion this week," comments Coach
Schulte. "Our chief strength in the
sprints, relay and certain field events
which has been winning for us in the
dual meets will be cut into by other
schools of the. Valley, while Kansas
with Bradley and Missouri, with Ham
llton, can breeze along with about the
lame strength as shown in the dual
meets."
The Kans.is Aggie threaten to
make a severe inroad in the Husk-
ers' point total in dashes and hurdles.
Hiley of the Kansas Farmers is the
class of the Valley in the low hurdles
and looks good in the highs. Irwin
beat Smith of Nebraska in the cen
tury last week, but the Husker cap
tain came hack and whipped the Ag
gie sprinter in the 220-yard dash.
Paulu of Grinnell as well as Simond
and Burrill of Missouri must also
he counted on as strong contenders
in the sprints.

Wolters oi Ames looks like one of
the leading quarter-mile performers.
He looked especially good to Nebras

O'Leary of Kanss.s, who was beaten

good.

CORNHTJSKERS TO BE
DISTRIBUTED TODAY
Today the Cornhusker is out! The
annual for this year is finally in the
hands of the students and may be
secured at the Student Activities of
fice. It is, according to Editor Ran
dol, the "biggest and best" of the long
line of annuals.
The book is bound in maroon-colored
leather, and is artistically let
tered in gold. It will make an ad
mirable addition to any library. And
in after years, the Cornhusker will
mean more and more to the loyal
Nebraskan.
The annual is dedicated to Pro
fessor Barbour, who has made him
self a friend to so many of the stu
dents of Nebraska.
The co-eds will be particularly in
terested in the "Beauty Section," and
the male exponents of the Terpsich
orean and other arts will also find
themselves between the covers of the
book. The Student Life section is
rurely original, and different from
those of the last few years, which
have received so much adverse criti
cism.
"'Everybody' Cornhusker" and
"Everybody a Cornhusker" are the
slogans of this year's staff.

AN UNUSUAL COURSE
IIcel Management Class Adopt-
ea into uumcumni oi
Eastern University
Cornell is initiating into its curri
culum a new course Hotel Manage
ment. The successful "running" of
the hostelries of Ihis country has al
ready become the fourth largest in
dustry ;:iid Cornell's system of in
dustrial training is trying to include
all important branches of the busi
ness world.
"Few people," says George M.
Sweeney in the July number of the
Hotel Management Magazine, "real
izes what a tremendously complex,
interesting, and human organization
exists solely for the purpose of ren
dering them a service. They notice
the prominent personages famous
actors, actresses, politicians, business
men and society leaders who crowd
the lobbies, are impressed, perhaps
by the grandeur of the place, but they
never think of the hotel's staff the
men and women who make their sur
roundings possible. Yet the hotel in
dustry offers a very real and lucra
tive opportunity to the student of
today who can bring to it the right
qualifications and mental attitude.
' In the past, the public has been
in the habit of grouping hotel men
with tavern keepers (in most cases
unjustly, of course) and because of
this feeling it has been different for
the hotel man to assume his proper
place in the nation's business, but
has resulted in attracting to the hotel
business far too few intelligent men.
Most young men have never thought
of the hotel business when trying to
decide on a career, largely because of
this sub-conscious impression."
But with the beginning of the col
lege courses, there will be more in
formation and less superstition tnd
better hotel management.
UNIVERSITY CHORUS TO
GIVE DRAMATIC CANTATA
The University Chorus will give a
dramatic cantata, "The Gate of Life,
by Leoni Sunday evening, June 4, at
St. Paul church. The cantata is a
story of the early Christians of the
third century in Rome.
Part I is a dedication of the Temple
of the Sun. The people are assem
bled awaiting the arrival of the Em-
neror Aurelian. In the midst of the
dedication service the voice of the
young Christian Portia is heard pro
claiming that there is only one true
God and that the Roman gods are
false. This throws the people into
a frenzy of rage and they declare
that the Christians must die.
The second part is a prison scene
t midnight. The imprisoned Chris
tians are awaiting their fate in the
arena on the morrow. In this terrible
hour they sing their hymns of unfal
tering faith.
Scene three is the arena. The chief
priests are calling upon their gods to
innv down with favor upon tnem.
Just before death the Christians sing
ttiPir hvmns of faith and confidence.
The mob breaks forth in fury again.
At the very last the Christians sing
the hymn of triumph and meet death
bravely.
A twenty piece orchestra will ac
company the chorus.
The soloists and parts are lanen ats
follows:
Portia Margaret Perry.
Probus Francis Diers.
Chief Priest Oscar Bennett.

Exceptional at Meet at Iowa
to be Held Next Week
IOWA CITY, May -4. Middle dis
tance running at the annual Big Ten
track meet and field meet to he held
at the University of Iowa June 2nd
and 3rd will bring together a fast
field of performers from western col
leges and universities, in eluding Fes
senden of Illinois. Spetz of Wisconsin,
Pyott of Chicago, Johnson of Minne
sota and Wilson and Morrow of Iowa
in the 440- yard run end Higgins and
Wolters of Ames, Sweitzer of Minne
sota, Ramsey of Wisconsin, Yates cf
Illinois and Noll and Morrow of Iowa
in the half mile, altogether a collec
tion of stars such as will give the
sneetators a whiff of startling com
petition as these entries fight in out
for points in the western classic.
In the. 440 yard run practically all
named are doing the quarter in 50
seconds or less this season, while the
half mile finds several men in the
1:57 class, including Higgins of Ames
who won tie event at the Big Ten
meet last year. Dual meets to be
held next Saturday may give some
further indication as to which men
have the best chance to win the week
following, but present dope is that
anv one of these leading entries may-
take first, depending almost entirely
on the condition of the men the day
of the race.
Nor will the battle be limited to the
above entries, as other Big Ten uni
versities and some of the smaller col-
eges have starB capable of cutting
in on the better known favorites. As
far as close competition goes it seems
lifcelv that the half mile will furnish
perhaps the most spirited race. Noll
of Iowa, Yates of Illinois and Sweit
rer of Minnesota will have an argu
ment to settle between themselves,!
bile Morrow of Iowa and Higgins of
Ames will battle again for honors won
by Morrow in the state meet at Des
Moines last Saturday.
