or pabbing red clusters of rate, or
ruining perfect coils by weighing out
knots. When the color judges sighted
especially brilliant locks they said
"Shep out into the light, please," and

tints.

The girls who receive the highest
Lumber of "otes from the members of
the senior class, will of course, be
those girls who in their under-class
days have done the most work in
school activities. In the many fields
for activity upon to women in the Uni

than thirteen girls who may be con
sidered worthy of the honor, say the
girls of the chapter this year.
The names of junior girls ultimately
chost n will be kept secret until th':

How to Spend One's Time on
A Stormy
By the time you read this, you will
have cussed the weather for at least
an hour. You will have asked your
self and all available audiences why
the deuce it is that it always storms
on Sunday. You will have forgotten
the wonderful weather during the
week and be longing for the balmy
climate of California. Well, a stormy
Sunday in Lincoln is something to
moan over, in fact any Sunday in Lin
coln is not a particularly hilariously
wild affair, but with the proper in
formation one can nearly enjoy him
self. Here are a few hints.
First and foremost, stay in bed as
long as you can. If the ambitious and
noisy get up and play the piano so
you cant sleep, lie in bed and think
of pleasant ways of killing them.
When you have thought of every pos
sible method, arise and dress with
care, just as if you really had some
place to go. It is now 2 o'clock. Now
of course you could go to church, but
what is the use 'when you are unable
to wear your new clothes? Prom 2
until 2:02 read the "Rag". Then you
can start composing new verses for
"It Ain't Going to Rain Any More."
Of course, you will never be allowed
to sing these verses in public because
it is against the moral and cultural
tone of the University. It is an in
teresting way to spend your time,
however, it is, in fact, a psychological
test. One can tell by the verses how
his or her mind runs. It is now time
for dinner. Eat all you can so you

GOPPOGK DRIVE
EXTENDED 10 MONDAY
Workers Given More Time So
They Can Get in Touch
with All Girls.
The Grace Coppock drive will be
extended until Monday, March 5, at
6 p. m. One thousand dollars had
been raised by Friday noon but it
was decided to extend the campaign
until Monday, owing to the fact that
the team workers had not been ablj
to get in touch with a great many
girls on account of sickness and ab
show that the team workers are ex
sence over the week-end. Results
hibiting a great deal of interest and
pep in the drive and it is certain that
the remainder of the amount will be
raised by Monday night.
At the Friday noon lunch, Mrs.
Hinman, an intimate friend of Grace
Coppock, spoke on Miss Coppock's
work and the importance of carrying
it on now since her death. Her speecn
made the girls more determined to
raise the money than at any other time
this week.
At the latest count, Lila Wyman's
team leads in the greatest, amount 01
money raised.

Mrs. Lucinda Prince of Boston
to Speak at Convocation
for Women.
Mrs. Lucinda Prince, President oi
the Prince School of Educational Storj
-ei Ic e of Boston. Mass., will speak at
a general convocation for University
girls at Ellen Smith Hall Wednesday,
Manh 7. at 5 o'clock. This meeting
is under the auspices of the Girls Com- ,
menial Club.
Mrs. Prince will also speak at the
special convocation to be held Wednes
day, March 7 at eleven o'clock at the
Temple Theatre, and will toll of her
experience with the school with whiih
she is affiliated.
Mrs. Prince has had a great deal of
experience oling the vocational line of
work for women and will have a mes
sage that will be of interest to all Uni
versity girls. She is at the head of
one of the best known an dmost
unique vocational training schools in
the United States. N'o one can be
admitted in the school unless they arc
graduated from four year college
course. The course give nin the school
covers both the practical and theoriti
cal aspect of store service.
Sunday in Lincoln
will feel drowsy and be able to sleep
better afterwards. From .2 until 4
set in a state of coma thinking of
there are many chances. You can
nothing in particular or your sweet
heart, as the case may be. You can
play bridge and watch the sisters and
brothers raise a bid of five spades.
Or, as a last resort, you may study.
This, of course, isn't being done this
year, and would stamp you as a per
son of crude tastes, utterly lacking in
culture or a sense of the eternal fit
ness of things.
It is now 4. Your mind, if you are
a girl, begins to wonder if anyone will
call up for a Sunday night lunch date.
If you are a man, you begin to count
your change. Luckily this is the
first of the month, otherwise you
could spend the next two hours try
ing to borrow money. If you have
money, you will be able to devote the
next two hours to thinking of clever
things to say to your date. Perhaps,
through sheer loneliness, you may
say something ' that will forever en
tangle you, but that's that. We will
not give a programme to follow from
the hours of 6:30 until 10:30. We
will leave that to you and the girl.
If she is up to the average, she will
not be too boring after a solitary
stormy, Sunday afternoon. On your
return home you can talk about dates,
relay races, or Miss Heppner until
1, 2, 3 or 4 o'clock, according to your
endurance. You may now go to bed
with a clear conscience blissfully
awaiting the calls for 8 o'clock.

DELTA CRI BOWLERS
WEN CJiKHIP
Defeat Xi Psi Phis in Hotly-Contested
Match for Title in
Independent League.
In one of the hardest contested
bowling matches of the season Fri
day evening, the Delta Chis, winners
of the first half of the season in the
Independent league, were victors ovtr
the Xi Psi Phis, winners of the second
half c;i the season, thus giving them
the undisputed championship aloim
with the coveted skin. Excitement ran
high during the meet, and as eacn
fraternity was represented en masse,
the cheering of the respective groups
reminded one of football season.
The first game was won by the
Delta Chis by a lead of fifty-seven
pins, and seeing as how the winner
was to be determined by the total
number of pins, the lead was welcomed
by the Delta Chis. The second game
was easily won by the Zips, theii
total number of pins on this game be
ing sufficient to overcome the pfty
seven point lead of the Delta Chi pin
knockers and to put them in the lead
by six points. In the third game the
Delta Chi maple spillers got their
optics focused on the head pin and it
marked the beginning of the end. The
final score showed the Delta Chi team
to have rolled to victory by a majority
of over a hundred pins.

early in April, will be held
Monday and Tuesday evenings in the
basement of Teachers' College build
ing, room 21. There will be twelve
principal leads, and about a dozen

of the committee.
Tho.-e students who wish to try
out should register for a definite time.

ship and elegibility, which must lie
settled before the winners in the con
test can le announced.
All the parts in the drama are not
singing parts. Those who wish to try
out should bear the following attri
butes in mind, says Fred Richards

acter take-off. Individual skits should
afford opportunity for judgment on
these lines.

minutes, but if two or more individ
uals try together, ten minutes will
be allotted.
The main comedy head is a negro
burlesque.
Tryouts on the two evenings will
begin at seven-thirty, and will last
until ten. If there are more con
testants than can be accommodated
in this amount of time, and additional
tryout will be scheduled for the same
time and place on Wednesday evening.

kan. It is not necessary to sing in order

A Lenten Thought
for Every Day
"Oh, how love I thy law.-''and
thv law is Truth.'" 119th Psalm.
Let us in our idea of God realize
that he is trustworthy. That is really
the secret of modern scientific ad
vance the discovery that the Uni
verse is trustworthy, that it will not
fail, that power always acts accord
ing to law. When we once realize
that God is trustworthy, that he is as
reliable, as unchanging in the spiritual
as in the natural world, when we set
ourselves no longer to evade or defy
the spiritual law but to understand
it and to work with it, then w ill come
a spiritual revival in the world com
pared with which the scientific ad
vance of the last century will seem a
little thing. A. Maude Royden.
