Once Monarch of Football Coaches Signs as Columbia Head Mentor The eastern football world seems to be pretty much stirred up over the signing up of Percy Haughton to coach the Columbia University foot ball team. At one time, and that wasn't so many years ago, this man was recognized, and indisputably rec ognized, as the monarch of football coaches. With the changes that have taken place in the few year3 cf foot ball, with the changes of schools, vdth a few years added to the age of the man and a thousand influences mak ing the conditions a little different the speculation now is whether Percy Haughton is the same man that he was and whether he will turn out earns for the Columbia institution hke he turned out for old Harvard. Whether through curiosity or through real desire to know, the east seems to be rather interested in the salary that it took to induce Haughto aay from his business. He was a rather successful business man, hav ing entered the brokerage business after leaving Harvard. It is presumed that Columbia was at the askers end of the string when it came to getting W. A. A. Appointments Made for Next Year Irva Kirk '24 has been appointed the publicity manager of W. A. A. and Lois Pederson has been appointed the concession manager of the organ ization for next year. The appoint ments were made by Marie Snavely. president-elect. The publicity manager's duties in clude the scheduling of all meetings in the Dally Nebraskan and the ad vertising of all W. A. A. events. The concession manager has charge of the buying and the selling of all candy and apples for the organization. TO FOSTER CONVOCATION Plans to Control Drives on Campus Try to Help Freshman Become Acquainted. To plan for a freshman convocation in accordance with the customs of the older colleges and universities of the country, a committee was appointed at the meeting of the Student Council held last Friday afternoon at five o'clock in the Social Science building. The convocation will be held early in the fall, to help the incoming, students to become acquainted with the Uni versity. The regulation with regard to the securing of permission before, plan ning drives for soliciting money on the campus, is to be strictly enforced in the coming year. Each organiza tion which wishes to campaign for funds must first secure permission 'from the Council, according to an an nouncement after the meeting. The project of the "Community Chest" i3 being considered as a solu tion of the problem of constant drives on the campus, according to the mem bers of the Council. The licensing cf all selling campaigns on the campus except those put on by the staffs of the publications, is also considered as a way to stop the "drive nuisance.' W. A. A. Will Hold Annual Luncheon The third annual W. A. A. luncheon will be held at the .Woodburn June first at twelve o'clock. This lunch eon will be attended by many of the alumnae who are coming to Lincoln for the Roundup. Davida Van Gilder, retiring presi dent, will be toast mistress and the following girls will respond: senior, Beulah Grabill, junior; Marie Snavely, sophomore; Rosalie Platner and Elea nor Flattermersch, freshmen. This is the occasion of the award ing of the individual cup to the girl receiving the most W. A. A. points during her college life. Eighty-nine colleges of agriculture students will be graduated at the June commencement thirty-nine men and fifty women. This is an increase of nearly 50 per cent over last year. Percy Haughton back into football. By figuring the do and don't of whether he should enter football or not again, the statistic hounds have estimated that it took about $15,000 to get him to go to Columbia and to top that off it is very evident that the date line said that Mr. Haughton was to stay in this position for some years to come. With the most important points settled to the satisfaction of no one it is but left to draw conclusions as to the success that this man may enjoy. Articles compiled by the Lit erary Digest show that various editors put the odds against Haughton for turning out a team from the New York school that will come anywhere near the record that he set at Har vard. Editors point out that Haugh ton was a graduate from the Cam bridge school and that he had the school spirit in his heart that added momentum to the ability that.was al ready his. Again Columbia went without a team for ten years and has kind of lost the football spirit that (Continued on Page Four). STUDENT COUNCIL LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1923. R. 0. T. C.

Co-Eds Take Fancy to Zoological Subjects Speaking of the co-eds' recent ac quisition of live stock, the Pi Phi snake-charmer should go into business wjth another cced we know who keeps a toad in her room a real, live, puffy toad named Jimmie Deek. Jimmie hops all over the room; sompt lines he is in a powder box on the dresser, or on the table, drinking ink, but his favorite perch is on the bed where he always takes his naps. Ol v-urse, if one has a room mate who doesn't mind stepping on a cold warty toad, or being choked to death by a bull snake, these would-be too loglsts would get away big. However, we prefer our livestock caged. W. A. A. wishes to thank Major Erickson, Miss Louise Pound, and Miss Delia Marie Clark for their helpful assistance and interest in W. A.

Heads Women's Athletics In the University of Nebraska The Women's Athletic association was organized at the University of Ne braska, March 29, 1917. Since that time, it has had full charge of sporU for women, with the co-operation ot the department of Physical Education. The Nebraska organization is a char ter member of the Athletic Conference College Women, which is a national organization having associations in all the large universities and colleges for women. Every girl in school who has earned one hundred points in any branch of sport may become a member of the athletic association. These points may be earned in soccer, hockey, track tennis, baseball, track, hiking, basket ball, swimming, and dancing. Such a diversity of sports Is calculated to offer opportunity for every co-ed to 'get into the game." W. A. A. is governed by an execu tlve board made up of the ten sport leaders, the concession and publicity managers, and the regular officers. Each, member of the board helps every other member to give her special sport a successful season. A pledge of $500 to Nebraska's Me morial Stadium has been made by W. A. A. The pledge was made by the unanimous vote of the board. The early payments have been made and the remainder will be earned by mem bers of the association during the next year. The second great accomplishment of the year 1922-23 has been the publi cation of a new constitution, unique for its completeness. The document contains the entire point system user! in the sports sponsored by the club. Copies are sold at ten cents each to active and alumnae members of the organization and may be secured from Lois Pederson. Missouri, Iowa, Wash ington, Midland, Northwestern, and Kansas Universities have written for copies of the constitution. It is also sent to high schools wishing to organ ize athletic associations. Rifling has been initiated this year as a sport under the direction of W. A. A. The association is indebted to Major Erickson for the instruction given the teams. A great deal of in terest was manifested in the sport by girls in and out of the association, and plans are made for more exten sive practice next year. As a final project, the club pur chased two dozen new hockey clubs and bases for the baseball diamond. The 1 price of the hockey clubs was J75.0O. The Bulletin is another new institu tion in W. A. A. this year. Early in the year, the girls felt the need of a bulletin, which everyone might read to know what was next on the pro gram. Irene Barquist has published the W. A. A. bulletin which contains announcements, editorial comments and fitting bits of poetry. A bulletin comes out each Monday morning. Every girl who comes into the gym has noticed the artistic, clever posters on the W. A. A. bulletin board. They produce a striking atmosphere con trasting with the sombreness of the hallway. Freda Amos is the artist whose work has done so much in at tracting the atlention of new girls and thus interesting them in the vari ous sports. Predictions that Germany will be the mightiest nation in Europe with a monarchial government, France in the second rank and Russia, ruled by a Romanoff czar, were made by the German historian, Dr, Max Kemmer ich today. One member of the board is elected to represent the associations at the na tional convention. A conclave is held every fourth year. Next year ths meeting will be held at Los Angeles, California. Every other year, a di versional conference is held. Last year, Nebraska's W. A. A. sent four delegates to the convention which was held at Boulder, Colorado. The retiring W. A. A. Board is as follows: President Davida Van Gilder. Vice-President Eleanor Snell. Recording Secretary Sara Surber. Secretary Dorothy Whelpley. Treasurer Cora Miller. Soccer Leader Louise Branstad. Hockey Leader Jessie Hiett. Basketball Leader Lois Shepherd. . Baseball Leader Rosalie Platner. Track Leader Esther Swanson. Dance Drama Leader Beulah Gra bill. Swimming Leader Marie Snavely. Hiking Leader Pearl Safford. Concession Manager Blanch Gram lich, Publicity Manager Lois Pederson. 'J
