Companies to Buy Tickets
Early to Avoid
Rush.
c K , press hegins officially on
atnrrti'v noon. University classes
-ill be resumed at S o'clock, Tuesday.
. rll j. Since Easter is the first of
April tli is year, the resumption of
classes was postponed until Tuesday
Instead of Monday as is the custom.
Students who are leaving Friday
ind Saturday to go fcomo for the
Easter cat ion are asked by the man
agpmriii of the railroads to get t'loii
tickets early, so trPat the transporta
tion companies may know how many
coaches will be needed on different
trains, mul may see to details, con
ducting the trains in the most ef
ficient in a nnor. according to an
nouncement sent out Thursday from
the City Ticket office of the Burling
ton. There is always a congestion in the
train service at the time of vacations
fnr t'e students of the University
according to railroad officials, and if
students make their reservations early
It facilitates matters for the men In
charge oT trains.
Vacations this year follow the plan
laid out by the student vote taken
last spring, at which time the stu
dents declared that they preferred
one day at Thanksgiving, a week at
Chiistni;..-. and a week in the spring,
rather than two days in November,
ten days at the holidays, and three
days in March or April.
Christmas vacation this year begins
on Friday, Decen.ler 22, at 6 o'clock,
and continues until 8 o'clock on the
morning of Wednesday, January 3.
Tb Ntson generally advanced for
hi feor a longer vacation in
the p'.::ig was the impossibility o!
uiG inu, for those students who
lire at a great distance. So few of
the (undents leave town for the
veck end of Thanksgiving vacation
that the general consensus of opin
ion, as evidenced by the votes last
spring, was for a longer vacation in
the spring, with the resultant curtail
ment rf the holiday for the celebra
o n! the anniversary of the Pilgrim
Fathers.

"SWEET Ii" ISSUE
OF AW6WAN IS BREEZY
Co-eds Write March Numher of
Comic Publication "Back
Number" l)"e in
April.
Before going homo for spring
vacation all students should secure
their copies of the "Sweet Mam
ma" issue of the Awgwan, in Sta
tion "A" in University hall, the
staff of "the magazine announced
yesterday. Back numbers may be
secured at the Awgwan office in
the northwest corner of the base
ment o fthe Administration build
ing. Breezy and sentimental, the March
Awgwan appeared yesterday on the
campus, with a likeness of some
body's "Sweet Mamma" on the cover.
The co-eds have avowedly chosen
March as a fitting month for their
issue of Awgwan to "breeze across
tbe campus knocking everybody off
his feet." The volume is "affection
ately" dedicated "to their masculine
contemporaries who said they
"couldn't."
' "Eve" is the original sweet mamma
states one co-ed writer, and she
"cost only one bone." Here is a
chance for some good come-backs in
the "Back Number" that is to be
published next,
"Town and Gown" and "Coneism"
come in for their share of parodies.
Henry writes another letter to Ed
gar concerning his experience as a
college "fella." What the masculine
members of the staff consider the
most surprising feature of the issue
is the number of jokes about the
idiosyncrasies of co-eds.

Brain Quiz Baffles Newcomb Faculty
After Girl Students Failed in Tests
New Orleans Students of New
comb College, a young woman's edu
cational institution here, were sub
jected to an "intelligence test to de
termine their knowledge of every
flv subiects." The results were so
poor that the students were chagrined.
So they challenged twenty-three mem
bers of the faculty to take a similar
test. The faculty accepted. They
didn't do so well, according to the
announcement of results given out
last week.
Here are some of the results of the
tost on the faculty:
Al Jolson is a wrestling champion
Francis Scott Key was a woman
who wrote poems.
"Boob" McNQtt is the heavyweight
champion, the trade name of a widely
known food preparation and the name
of the wife of a character in the Bible.

WEEK IN STORE FOR
BASEBALU11LERS
Rock Island Diamond May lie
Read' for Use Spring Re
cess Says Coach.
Spring vacation may mean a lot to
the other college students, but its
n r e t. mean a lot of hard work to
Husker diamond performers, accord
ing to Coach Scott Dye. The Nebras
ka baseball mentor welcomes the in
terlude as a saving means of putting
his men in condition for the opening
games of the season which opens at
Norman, Oklahoma, a week from Mon
day. "Good hard outdoor work and
lots of it is all we need, and it looks
as though we can get on the Rock
Island diamond next week," is what
the diminutive coach says.
No opportunity for batting practice
exists in the Armory where the squ.ic
is at present practicing, and unless
the bad weather abates, the Huskers
will have no chance to get their bat
ting eyes before the season is fairly
upon them. It is possible that the
team will leave for Oklahoma a few
days early in order to have a few
ilays' practice in the southern sun
shine, but this step hs not been
finally decided upon. Last year the
team took this preparatory training
.-1t. ,t it rained all of the time
they were in the Southland. How
ever even with the limited room at
their disposal, new men are showing
stuff every day.
It is difficult to say who will make
the trip south, or who will hold reg
ular berths on the team. "Men may
make this trip who will never make
the team again, and there may be
men left at home this time who will
be regular performers all reason,"
says Coach Dye. "A man may look
like a star indoors who can't make
a rredittble performance on the dia
mond." From this it can be seen
what a difficult task confronts the
Husker coach to choose possibly fif
teen or sixteen from a squad of sixty
men, none of whom he has seen in
action.
