Coach Schulte is out to make up for the loss of the championship to Missouri last yenr after four success i. Mmmnionships, but Nebraska will have to overcome practically the k.rdrst competition in many years if it wins the meet this year. Send Large Team Practically all of the schools are sending full teams in their attempt to carry off the Valley championship. Kansas University, and the Univer sity of Missouir have entered the largest number of men. Both teams have entered close to thirty men. Ok lahoma, the dark horse entry from the South, and Iowa State, will have over twenty men on hand, as will Grinnell. Both Drake and Washington will have almost twenty men. Oklaho ma A. and M., the baby member of the conference, is only sending five men, but expects to make a strong bid for places in the track events and the two relays.

The distances should not be over looked. Oklahoma will have Ruth' erford and Niblick, crack cross country runners from last fall, to try to capture the mile and the two mile. Steele of Missouri didn't show so well here in the dual meet, but his victory in the Valley indoor meet cannot be overlooked. Then, there is San-is, Kansas University, who promises to furnish competi tion for all. And not the least of these are Pearles and Zimmerman, who have been showing up con sistently as winners this spring . Conger of Iowa Here B Then there is Conger, of Iowa State, perhaps the greatest middle distance runner in the conference. ue has been running everything worn the half-mile to the two-mile this spring and winning all. It is not known which races he will pick oat for the valley meet, although the half mile is considered a cer tainty.

Many of the events for the Fifth Annual Round up May 27, 28, and 29, are being planned for it. Work is being rushed on the building to have it in shape for the reunion. A special temporary floor ing will be laid over the concrete, and the main auditorium and balcony will be ready for use with enough of the rest completed to show how th- finished structure will look. It is easily the largest building on the campus. There is no fymnasium in the whole state that comi-S.es with it in Bize or equipment. It ranks with the best in the Missouri Val ley. Though not quite as large as the stadium, it will cost more when corn- being constructed on the campus. Construction was started last summer when contracts were let amounting to more than $425,000: not including the stage equipment, a swimming pool, and a few additional athletic rooms. The building is 1C5 by 210 feet ,and tho great steel arched roof is sixty teet high in the center. The University authorities have a three-fold purpose in mind for the Coliseum: First, to serve as the in door home of Nebraska winter sports, basketball, wrestling, boxing, swim ming, and general gymnasium work.

COLLINS TELLS OF OXFORD ONIYERSITY Will Describe Buildings and To Stimulate Interest im Rhodes Scholarship Life W. W. Wyckoff, worthy grand master of Kappa Sigma, says pledging should be disposed of as quickly as possible; and Harry Steiner, executive of Zeta Beta Tau, favors second-semester pledging. Both letters are printed below: KAPPA SIGMA May 8, 1926. The Daily Nebraskan, Lincoln, Nebraska. My Dear Mr. Torrey: Reference is made to your inquiry under date of April 29, 1926, re garding my opinion upon second se mester pledging, sophomore pledging and probation-week practices. My personal opinion upon pledging is that it should be disposed of as quickly as possible at the beginning of the year. Initiation should fol low when the pledge has satisfactorily completed the work of the first se mester or term. Probation-week practices should be abolished. This period of humili ation and cruelty is just as severe a strain upon the fraternity men as upon the piedges. If the practice cannot be abolished, it should be lim ited to a very short period ; the short er, the better. Permit me to add this comment. It appears that, after initiation, scholarship lowers. The college says the fraternity is the reason. But the real reason? The colleges expect the fraternity men to exploit all the extra-circular activities, and encourage their doing so, because they want the college world to know that all these activities have a place on their campus. The college ex pects the fraternity men to do all this and still make the scholastic grades of those men who take no part in these extra-circular activi ties. To my mind, it appears the situation should be fairly met. I submit that neither the fraternties (Continued to Page Two) To stimulate interest in the Rhodes Scholarship competition which will be hehi in the state next autumn, a lecture on the University of Oxford will be given in the Social Science Auditorium Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock by F.
