Fifteen of Coach Schulte's cinder
pnth artists will attend the Kansas
Relays to be held at Lawrence, Kan
sas, April 17. The team will leave
to-night; some of the men will make
the journey in cars and will leave
here this afternoon at one o'clock.
Most of the men went through a light
work-out yesterday afternoon; the re
lay team practiced a few starts and
passed the baton. The weather has
been very favorable for the Nebraska
athletes but if the conditions are not
too bad they are expected to give a
good account of themselves at Kan
sas. The 440 and 880 yard relay teams
have a chance to cop first place in
these events. With three men, Locke,
Hein, and Dailey, still running, the
prospects are bright In the two mile
relay Nebraska has four men who
have been doing the half in less than
two minutes. Kansas Aggies are
doped to win this event but the Corn
huskers will give them a good run.
Zimmerman I Ineligible
There will be no entry in the three
thousand meter race as Paul Zimmer
man, Nebraskas' best bet is not eligi
ble. The discus, javelin, and high
jump, have also been thrown into the
discard as the material is not of suf
ficient caliber to make points.
Kuck, Emporia State Teachers Col

record in the 16 pound shot. The
present record is 51 feet and Kuck

Definite Purchase Have Not Been
Made But It I Thought That a
Varied Field of Exhibit Will
Be Added to Museum
The $40,000 gift to the University
by C. II. Morrill of Stromsburg will
be expended for new museum exhi
bits to be added to those already in
the possession of the University, ac
cording to Mr. Collins of the Uni
versity Museum.
Nothing definite has been decided
as to the particular nature of the ex
hibits but it is probable that the ex
hibits will extend over a larger and
more varied field than those previous
ly acquired through former gifts by
Mr. Morrill. Specimens purchased
here-to-fore have been fossils but in
the new building Mr. Morrill is de
sirous of having an extended variety
and if opportunity warrants the pur
chase of an expensive piece out of
this class it is Mr. Morrill's wish that
such purchase be made.
Present Collection Not Sufficient
Mr. Morrill stated, that he felt that
the present collection was not suf
ficient to fill the space of the new
building and that he wished to see
it in the nearest possible state of per
fection while he was able to enjoy
it.
A placque will be placed near the
entrance of the new building upon
which will bo the dedicatory note;
both Mr. Morrill and Dr. Barbour's
names will appear here.
Purchases will not be made at once
but it is the aim of the committee in
charge to have as much of the new
material as possible at the completion
of Morrill Hall.
No particular room or part of the
building will be specifically dedicac
ed to Mr. Morrill but the greeler
portion of the specimens in the fos
sil division are gifts of Mr. Morrill
so this part will be a special reminder
of Mr. Morrill's interest.

SENIOR GIRL'S TEA
The Children's Theater will pre
sent "The Little Princess," a three
act play by Frances Burgess, in the
Temple theater Saturday afternoon
and evening, April 17th. The play
is under the direction of Miss Fern
Hubbard, an instructor in the Dra
matic department.
The title character of the play is
Sara Crewe, known as the "little
princess." Her father is a wealthy
captain in India. Sara has been plac
ed in a Miss Minchin's Seminary. The
play opens on her thirteenth birthday
and Miss Minchenis giving a party in
her honor. She has purchased manv
luxurious gifts for the child in the
hope that she will be fully repaid.
During the party a lawyer informs
Miss Minchin that Captain Carewe is
dead and Sara is left penniless. In
order to save the name of the school,
ross 'the "little princess" is allowed to re
main as the scullery maid.
The next act is laid in the garret
of the seminary. One of the inci
dents of the act is a dinner which
Sara snd a friend, who has brought
the food, have planned. Just as
they sit down to eat Miss Minchin
visits the garret and Sara is sent to
bed.
Next door to the seminary lives a
Mr. Carrisford, who has just return
ed from India where he had formed
the friendship of Captain Carewe.
The remainder of the play centers
upon the search m; ie by Mr. Carris
ford to locate the daughter of his
friend.
Tickets will be sold at the door.
Admission is twenty-five cents.

Professor II. J. Gramlich gave a
review of the experimental work that
has been carried on at the college
during the past year. "The calves,"
said Professor Gramlich, "gained a
trifle more on about 27 bushels of
corn than the other cattle did on
more than 40 bushels." "The gains
of the younger stock were found to

organization.
Dr. Reinhardt graduated from the
University of California in 1898, and
received her doctor's degree in 1905
from Yale, and 1919 her LL. D. from
California. Dr. Reinhardt is a
prominent educator, and has been

Women's Position Changed
Dr. Reinhardt has said regarding
the changed educational position of
young women of today who are en

the lead of Dartmouth, Bowdoin and
other colleges the undergraduates of
Harvard University have through
their student councils drawn up a re

outsell the steers," stated Professor
Gramlich.
Dean Curtis Is Talker
Dean C. F. Curtis of the Iowa State
Agricultural College was present at
the meeting and was called upon by
Professor Gramlich for a short talk.
Dean Curtis stated that the most
serious problem of the farmer was
what the consuming public wants and
what it will pay. He also stated that
he was favorably impressed with the
experimental work that has been car
ried on by the Nebraska experiment
station. He mentioned the incon
sistency of public demand as being
a big problem that farmers must al
ways contend with. "The more we
can improve the quality of a product
without greatly increasing the pro
duction cost, the greater the demand
will be for that product," he said.
We are a meat-consuming nation
and will continue to be such as the
meat-consuming nations are the
dominant nations of the world."
Mr. F. C. Stryker, Omaha, secre
tary of the South Omaha livestock
exchange, spoke regarding livestock
markets and told the reason for hav
ing the markets. "Livestock markets
do not just happen," said Mr. Stry
ker. "They provide a place where
livestock may be honestly bought and
duty and privilege of the American
woman in her home is enlarged to
duty and privilege in her community
and country."

Need of New University Library
Pointed Out by Gilbert H. Doane
Reading Rooms, Study Corners, And
Lounge Would Be Feature of
New Building Should Accomodate
One-Tenth ofStudent Body
"Our great need is a new library
building," declares Gilbert H. Doane,
University librarian, and as proof of
this he points to the five-hundred
book shelves, holding more than two
thousand volumes, which are now in
storage, and the fact that reading
rooms at the library hold only three
hundred students when it should
hold at least a tenth of the entire
student body, which is seven hundred.
"We will receive five hundiad
books from Italy in a short time," he
stated, "and we will not be able to
open the collection because we will
have no place to put them. We can
not get at any of the books wj have
in storage, least of all, think of buy
ing new ones, because we have no
room for them."'
"We have a well rounded library
on the whole, but there are some
very large gaps in the lists which
should be filled immediately. It is
a pretty good w irking library, but

In comparing our library with
those of other schools, Mr. Doane
maintained that we are better off
(Continued to Page Two.)
"The aurora borealis of the north
ern lights arenot unusual while they
may be said to be infrequent in this
territory," said Thomas A. Blair,
weather observer for Lincoln. "They
are frequently seen farther north and
are common in northern Minnesota
and along the Canadian line." The
i most remarkable feature of the dis
play seen Wednesday night was its
great brilliancy.
From about 8:30 p. m. until 10:40
p. m., this bright light resembling a
great band of white smoke extending
from the northwest to a little south
of the east remained in view and
caused much commotion.
This streak of light across the sky
is caused by the electrified particles
which are thrown off by the sun.
These particles are attracted by the
earth and are discharged, upon
reaching the earth's atmosphere
more than one hundred miles above
the earth. They excite the UDner
air, and cause it to glow, and to re
flect brightly the light of the north
ern lights.
The phenomenon occurs about once
a year and is generally followed by
special activities of the sun, particu
larly when there are a great number
of sun spots on the surface of the
sun. This display is witnessed more
often in the north because the source
of the reflection is centered at the
magnetic pole rather than at the geo
graphical pole. This year it was
seen all over Nebraska and as far as
reported in both Wyoming and Tov.
The display In Lincoln whil, des
cribed as very beautiful (being a
great white band stretching from one
side of the horizon to the other light
ed up every few seconds by flashes
of colored light,) caused considerable
apprehension in the minds of ime
people. Newspaper offices received
many telephone calls asking what tha
phenomenon might be. Because of
its resemblance to a sliaft of light it
was thought by many to be a giant
search light
