AWAITING WARM DAYS
Cold weather of the last few days
haa retarded the practice of candi
dates for the tennis team. As soon
as the weather warms up a large
squad of men are expected to try
out for the team, according to Gregr
McBride. well-known local net-art
ist, who is coaching the team.
Tryouts for the four-man team
will be held the first week after
spring vacation. Work-outs before
then will be just practice to get the
men in shape. Practice will begin as
soon as it is warm enough outside.
The University courts are in good
shape at present and a warm day
brings out a large group of enthusi
asts. Call for Freshmen
Coach McBride announced that a
call for freshmen tennis players will
probably be issued next week. It is
planned to pick a freshman team in
tennis the same as in other sports.
The following are the men who
have Bigned up at the athletic office
for the sport:
Augusto Franco, '28, Manila, Phil

IN THE VALLEY

"Zim" and "Zim"
The baseball season has started
and seven of the Missouri Vallay
schools will put teams in the field.
This is the first time for many years
that Nebraska will not be represented
by a team, and it is hoped that the
Husker institution will be back in the
fold again next year.
Tke Athletic Department of the
Unirersitjr will put mora stress on
inter-fraternity baseball games this
year than ever before. Instead of
the old system of one game elimina
tion, a new one has been instituted
that calls for a two game elimina
tion. No greater step could have been
taken that would create more inter
est in the inter-fraternity games than
this. Every team will now have a
much better chance than heretofore.
Besides the two game elimination, a
consolation round will be played
among the teams that lose out first
in the tournament.
All of the games will be played on
schedule and most of them will be
played in Rock Island park. Playing
on schedule time, the tournament
will be run off in smooth fashion.
Previous to this year the teams have
played when it was convenient for
them and as a result the tournament
dragged.
Coach Black, the new basketball
mentor at Nebraska has started some
thing new. He is holding spring
basketball practice. This is done so
that he will be able to get acquaint
ed with the men that will be out
for the team next year, and to illus
trate to them the style of playthat
will be used at Nebraska next year.
According to information received
from the South, the Kansas Aggies
are to have a. strong football team
next year. There will be a- letter
man back in school of every posi
tion on the team and additional vet
erans for a strong reserve. Eighteen
lettermen, including ten backfield
and eight linemen, have reported for
spring practice.
Little Known of the Mormons Who
Suffered Many Trials in Nebraska
Campus Takes Aspect
x Of Color as Spring
Smocks Break Forth
A wearer of one of the new spring
frocks is the author of the following
article :
The campus has assumed the varie
gated; aspect of a flower garden.
CntnnUT nn a inrino mArninff it
awoke to find itself wearing all the
colors of nature and a few more. It
had blossomed overnight. Bright
spots dotted it in an intricate and
everchanging pattern that at once
dazzled and fascinated the beholder.
What are these splotches of color,
you ask?
They are the complement of any
Parisan art student They have
helped many masters paint their
masterpieces. They have been an
auxiliary of the poet, by leaving
him nothing handy to tear but his
hair. They have provided harmoni
ous color-tones, that the half-formed
poetic fantasies should not be harm
ed by unsympathetic surroundings.
Their warm shades have been loved
by women who were sensitive to true
beauty. They have helped these
same women to entangle elusive male
fancy, and shove it over the preci
pice of matrimony.
They have watched while minds
tortured by lost chords explored the
keyboard of the piano and the strings
of the violin. They have worked
with Paderwiski and many other
equally famous and beloved of hu
manity. They have even invaded
the movie studio and assisted the
lovely cinema queens and dashing
Romeos to "register" for the public.
They are a notorious accomplice of
Greenwich villages of the most
Greenwich .'villagey' type. There
they are found in company with long
dark hair, foreheads prodigiously
high, spectacles, strong cigarettes and
even occasional real artists and poets.
Last, but first, they are the rage
of the modern college campus and
of the Nebraska campus. They have
even been accepted as campus in
signia by one organization.
They are the new smocks, which
are so very old.
Little seems to be known of the
Mormons in Nebraska, or why they
should have selected the mouth of
the Niobrara river for winter quar
ters on their way to their promised
land. In the "Nebraska History and
Record of Pioneer Days," some facts
are revealed about the settlement of
these people.
The first white people, in any con
siderable number, to stop in the old
L'Eau qui Court (Rapid river or Nio
brara) county were the Mormons.
The party comprised sixty-five fami
lies with one hundred and fifty wa
gons. These were the pioneers of
the land of promise. On the west
bank of the Niobrara river opposite
the town of Niobrara they spent the
winter of 1846-47.
Until 1901 it was believed by the
founders of Niobrara, because of the
numerous graves found in that vi
cinity, that these Mormons had per
ished at the hands of the "red men";
their coming and their going was
shrouded in mystery. In June 1901,
a Mormon who had been with these
pioneers, returned to visit Niobrara,
and, there disclosed the real truth of
their deaths.
In their start from Kanesville, Io
wa, in July, 1846, the Mormons made
the first wagon wheel mark up the
Platte Valley. While in camp at
Pawnee Station (presumably near
Columbus or Genoa), where soldiers
were stationed, they contracted with
the government to harvest a crop of
small grain and corn which had been
put in by laborers, who, becoming
frightened by the Pawnees, had fled.
While thus engaged in the close of
the harvest, a courier from Kanes
ville arrived with orders for them
not to proceed farther, as it was
feared they could not reach their
destination before winter set in, but
to seek winter quarters.
It was found that prairie fires had
devastated the country west of Lara
mie and thereabouts. A band of
Ponca Indians chanced to be visiting
the Pawnees at the time. Upon in
quiry, they reported that excellent
winter quarters could be found at
the mouth of the Niobrara river, and

offered to pilot the Mormons there.
It is thought that one reason for the
offer of the Indians was the fact
that the party had -with them at this
time a small connon, which had much
attracted the attention of the Poncas
who were always annoyed by the
Sioux.
The Ponca truly led the Mormons
into a country of verdure where there
was plenty of feed, timber, and
game. The young men or tne party
frequently accompanied the Indians
in their winter hunts up the Nio
brara river. The timber stretches
were abundant with wild turkeys
and the prairies were alive with buf
falo. Where the town of Niobrara
now stands, were Indian camps from
the mouth of the Niobrara to Bazile
Creek.
During the winter of 1846-47,
Newell Knight, a millwright, chiseled j
from granite boulders found in the
neighboring hillsiders, two millburrs,
with which the people intended to
grind their grain by horse-power.
But during the strenuous winter
Knight and sixteen others, principally
women and children, died of pneu
monia. Recently on the Old Mor
mon Trail that passes from Florence
to Niobrara, a monument has been
erected to Newell Knight.
In the spring of 1847 the remain
ing Mormons were called back to
Florence by Kanesville church heads.
They returned by the Bazile Valley,
going over to Logan Valley.
A handcart expedition of the Mor
mons left Florence, Nebraska, Aug
ust 18, 1856, for Salt Lake City,
passing beyond Fort Laramie in Sep
tember. It was overtaken by snow
storms and many of its number per
ished from cold and hunger before
the main body reached Salt Lake
City in November. Most of the
members were immigrants from Eur
ope. Men, women and children push
ed handcarts and walked from tha
Missouri river to Salt Lake. The
deaths in 1856 in this expedition, and
others, led to (correspondence be
tween Mormon leaders and the conse
quent discontinuance of handcart par
ties. Handcart Mormon expeditions
were, however, still walking to Zion
on the Nebraska City-Fort Kearney
trail, late in the sixties before the
completion of the Union Pacific to
Salt Lake. There are persons living
in Nebraska wh oremember these
handcart and wheelbarrow companies.
SCHOOLS DISAGREE
Oil HONOR SYSTEM
Western Universities Champion the
Cause; Nebraska Listed
Against Matter
(New Student Service)
The annual honor system battle
has begun. Information received by
The New Student makes it possible
to draw up two mythical teams, com
posed of Universities which favor and
1 These Spring
Days--
Makes a Fellow Think of
a Light Top Coat
those who oppose the code. It turns
out to be a game of Pacific Coast
vs. Middle-West, the Coast champion
ing and the Prairies challenging the
honor system.
In favor are: the University of
Washington, (on one year's trial),
Stanford, Southern California, Cali
fornia, California Southern Branch.
All these rely on student "honor" in
some form or other.
Opposed: Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska,-
Wisconsin, Chicago, while
strenuous efforts are under way to
capture the University of Texas for
the opposition. All these rely on la
culty spies. The rest of the South
and the East have not been heard
from, except scatteringly.
Too Big Physically
Chairman Rogers of the faculty
student committee on the honor sys
tem at the University of Texas feels
that things are in a bad way. "The
student body is too big physically and
too small mentally to accept an honor
system. They want all the privileges
and none of. the responsibilities. Of
the hundred odd cases the men's
council has decided this year, a total
of five were submitted by students,
and of these, three got cold feet and
refused to testify against the de
fondants. .All the others were sub
mittel by faculty members.
Facnlty Not Cooperating
"The faculty members are not co
operating. In some cases, faculty
members have been heard to tell the
classes that they should not under
any circumstances report violations.
The faculty, regardless of how fre
quently they are pried up, will not
read the pledge.
"Most of the cheating takes place
outside of the classroom where the
examinations are held. The regular
price charged for passing a final ex
amination is five dollars, while a
standard price of twenty-five dollars
is charged for passing a course in
correspondence. I am asking the
committee to abolish the entire hon
or system."
