LEROSSIGNOL IS CONVENTION HEAD Presides at Collegiate Schools of Business Meeting; to Start April 29 The eigth annual meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business will be held at Hanover, New Hampshire, on April 29, SO, and May 1. The meeting will be opened by a business session at which the president of the associ ation. Dean J. E. LeRossignol of Ne braska, will be the chairman. The rest of the sessions will be mainly discussions and lectures by members. Some of the subjects dis cussed will be "The Essentials of a Collegiate Course in Business;' "What Constitutes a Graduate Work in Business Administration;" "Uni versity Training for Business in Oth er Countries." . President Hopkins to Lecture President E. M. Hopkins, of Dart mouth College, and E. E. Lincoln, chief statistician of the Western El ectric Company, will give addresses. The subject of Lincoln's talk will be "The Adjustment of College Gradu ates to Business." All the discussions are of vital im portance to every Btudent in the School of Business Administration.

Senior Women Get Together Senior women at the University of Nevada recently decided to hold a series of luncheons at downtown res taurants in order that the members of the class may become better ac quainted with each other before com mencement Pennsylvania and Northwestern com ing second and third, Nebraska ranking fourteenth with a registra tion of 955 for the years 1924-25. "Considering the day divisions only Nebraska is tenth on the list," Wright continues. The number of graduates of the Nebraska School of Business Administration for the years 1924 1925 with a degree equivalent to an A. B. were 101, this number placinp Nebraska thirteenth in the list of about seventy commercial schools. Wright calls attention of the read ers to the injustice of the compari son in the registration statistics be cause' of the two and four year courses offered by the different col leges, and also to the impossibility of "rating" the different colleges ac cording to academic rank; for which reason the ""survey is confined tc purely statistical information." He thinks it will not be many yeair before the young man entering busi ness without ft commercial education will be at a decided disadvantage, much more so than now.

Interest in Military Increases as "Compet" Looms Up With the annual inspection of the University R. O. T. C. by the Un ited States War Department and the yearly "compet" coming into the public eye, interest in the military department increases. The inspection for the "Blue Star rating, which Nebraska bas held for the last two years, will De on n- dav. Mav 7, this spring. Nebraska cadets are expected to make a deter mined effort to keep the University among the bonored schools of the country. The R. O. T. C. unit was started at the University fifty years ago, when Nebraska was given land grant by Congress. Under the terms of the Morrill Land Grant Act, r military unit was established. Lieutenant E. S. Dudley, of the U. S. cavalry, was the first com mandant to be stationed here. He served from 1876 to 1879.

TRACK MEN WILL MEET MISSOURI Evenly Matched Teams Should Bring Out New Records In Many Events LOCKE NOW IN SPOTLIGHT "We're going to have a real bat tle to beat Missouri any way you fi gure it." This is the way Coach Schulte expressed himself Tuesday evening. Although "dope may noi amount to much as a rule, the teams seem to be so evenly matched that it is a toss-up who will win. Nebras ka track fans are due to see a real track meet at any rate. A strong wind blowing down the track made it necessary to postpone most of the try-outs scheduled for Tuesday evening. The only one at tempted was the 120-yard high hur dles. "Choppy" Rhodes finished ahead of Don Reese with a time of 16.S seconds. This was very good time considering the wind they faced. Missonri Star Dodd Richerson, Missouri's 'star weight man, is promised good compe tition by Walter Kriemelmeyer who heaved the shot 46 feet S inches Monday evening. If he does this Sat urday he will make a new Varsity record. Nebraska's interest centers about Roland Locke, the fleet dash man who ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds at Drake last Saturday. "If his spiked foot does not bother him, Cornhusker followers are confident that he will hang up a new record which will be accepted as official. Pole-Vault Competition Frank Wirsig, "Choppy" Rhodes of Nebraska and Lancaster of Missouri tied for conference honors in the pole-vault in the Valley meet last May. This trio will renew the battle when the Tigers and the Comhuskers meet at the stadium Saturday. Wirsig's chance for victory was boosted by his performances at the Kansas and the Drake relays. At Kan sas he tied for first, clearing the bar at 12 feet 11 7-8 inches for a new Nebraska Varsity record. He re- j repeated the performance with the ibar set at 1 2feet 6 inches. I Two-Mile Should Be Close Nebraska two-milers are going to I find some real competition when they meet Steele of Missouri. How ever, Steele was beaten in the cross country race with Nebraska and both Searles and Zimmerman should prove his equal. At any rate the Tiger-Cornhusker meet promises to be one of the thrill ing dual meets in Nebraska track history.- With a track, which Coach Schulte declared to be "the fastest in the country", there promises to be some new Varsity, if not Valley, records made. Good Scholastic Record Only thirty-one students of an en rollment of 3,233 were flunked at the end of the first semester in the College of Liberal Arts at the Uni versity of Texas. Department The basement of University Hall was the site of the first office of the department In 1877 the office was moved to the second floor of the same building with the equipment consisting of one hundred stands of old 50-caliber rifles, a 'company flag, and a desk. When Lieut. Dudley's term ex pired. Lieutenant L T. Webster was appointed to the post. During bis term of office two more companies were organised and the first bat talion was formed. A cadet band was formed with the help of a special appropriation. At this time the pa rade ground was in the northwest part of the campus. Because only two posts were al lowed by the War Department for the area composed of Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota, Lieutenant Webster was recalled in 1882 and Nebraska was left without ft military unit. Congressmen appealed to the nary for ft man to fill the vacancy and Lieut. R. H. Tovnley was sent here (Continued to Page 8). PRICE CENTS.
