Crawford From Chicago
Jack Crawford and his orchestra
have been attracting a lot of atten
tion in Chicago. Crawford made his
first appearance playing a saxophone
- with the late Paul Biese and his well
known orchestra. When Biese died,
Crawford stepped into his shoes and
became in a very short time one of
the cleverest orchestra leaders in the
country. He has with him an array
of accomplished musicians.
This will be the first year that an
orchestra of such note has played at
the Pan Hellenic ball.
Jack Crawford is a huge man
(he weighs close to three hundred
pounds) and a natural born comed
ian. He is full of original tricks that
keep his audiences roaring all of the
time. Nor is Crawford alone in his
comedy. Practically all of his men
contribute some stunt during the
course of an evening. They all seem
to be bubbling over with the spirit of
their leader.

America, the prime responsibility of
this group. Financial aid is also given
to groups of students and potential
leaders in other countries. Christian
world education seeks to supply facts
which will enable students to dis
cover their relation tp world prob
lems and suggest projects for them.
The goal proposed for the Student
Christian Associations in the United
States during 1927 is two-fold: That
the associations on every college
campus study the problem of finding
some international cause to which
they may devote their energies as
an expression of real desire to for
ward international understanding
and good will; and thnt as a part of
this enlarged program a better un
derstanding of international prob
lems and a determination to share
with students in other nations, may
grow up on every campus.
The international banquet to be
held Friday evening is a part of this
great international movement. The
menu will be made up of dishes
characteristic of various foreign na
tions and the program will also be
made up of selections by foreign stu
dents in the university. The tickets
are seventy-five cents and may be
obtained from Miss Erma Appleby in
Ellen Smith Hall or Mr. Hayes at

Y.M.C.A. Book
Store Plans To
Help Students
Nearly 250 students came to the
Student's Book exchange in the Uni
versity Y. M. C. A. Monday and
Tuesday to exchange and sell books
during the hours the store was open.
Out of the 490 books brought in
oer 225 were sold.
The Students' Book exchange, the
first of its kind to be introduced here
at the University, is operated by the
University Y. M. C. A., which takes
a small percentage for the handling
of the books.
The thought carried to the stu
dent in the word "exchange" may
serve to mislead the thought of the
student reader. "Cash cannot be paid
out directly to the student for his
books, nor can books be exchanged,
one for another," says C. D. Hayes,
secretary of the University Y. M. C.
A. "The idea has been carried out
that the books are purchased for
cash, and that the books can be ex
changed. We buy the students' books,
and give a receipt, for which the stu
dent can collect when the books are
sold," added Mr. Hayes. A fair price
on the book is determined by the stu
dent selling the books and the man
ager of the exchange department.
More books are wanted. There is a
market open for all books that are
used this semester. Many of the stu
dents are turned away because the
books are not on reserve. Students
are reauired to bring in all the books
that they have. If they are not sale
able now, the Book Exchange plans
to sell the books during the summer
session. The name of every student
is taken so that if the seller of a
book does not call for his money, it
can be remitted to the person selling.

Are Other Officera Named
On Tuesday i
MEET IN NEW CLUB ROOM
Bob Stephens, '27, was elected
president of the "N" club at a meet
ing held in the club's new quarters
in the Coliseum Tuesday noon. The
other officers are: Clarke Smaha,
'27, vice-president; Paul Zimmerman,
'26. secretary-treasurer; and Ted
Page, '27, sergennt-at-arms. The j
meeting was the first one held in the
new club and trophy room which has
been recently opened to the public.
The room is about 30 feet long
and 15 feet wide. It is entered either
from the east or the west. Trophy'
cases are all along tne norm wan
and windows along the south wall.
These cases along the full length of
the room are of mahogany providing
about twenty linear feet of display
room for the trophies and awards.
Above them are pictures of all the
teams in every sport since 1890 that
are available at present and any
others that may be found in the
future.
Room Nicely Decorated
The walls and the ceiling are fin
ished in travertine stone, richly fur
nished effect, with Nebraska seals,
about six feet in diameter adorning
the east and the west walls. The
chandiliers are of bronze and are de
signed with a row of ships and U of
N directly below. The floors are cov
ered with gray and black rugs. There
are also palms and other plants to
lend to the richness of the room.
The room is richly furnished in
scarlet and blue that tends to give
the ease and the beauty of a club
room.
One of the features of the room is
to be a picture of Jack Best, known
as "the grand old man of Nebraska"
which is to be with the teams on the
north wall. Jack Best came to Ne
braska in 1888 and was the trainer.
here until his death in 1923, and is
known to all the "N" men. He was an
honorary member of the "N" club
on account of his long stay at the
University.
The trophies are mostly from track
and baseball for which Coach Schulte
is largely responsible. The trophies
are arranged in the cases below the
nictures. The awards are all from
the Valley meets held in track and
baseball except one cup won by
Henrv Sareent in 1923 for fencing.
This cup was presented to him by
the Western Inter-Collegiate Athletic
association in recognition for his ex
ertional record. The Missouri Valley
onn for the Valley record in the 100
yard dash is in the center of the
cross, and other record trophies won
by Nebraska are in the same section
of the case.
The room is to be used for meet
ings of the "N" Club in the future
and for special meetings to be held
in the evening. The business meet
ings are to be held in the club room
the first Tuesday of each month.
There is talk of keeping it open to
the public at parties in the Coliseum
but the "N" club has not acted on
this measure. This room is furnished
from the funds of the "N" club.

$4500 COT FROM
SUMMER BUDGET
Regents Pursue Plan of Economy in
Appropriations; New Courses
Had Been Tlanned
Information hss been received by
Dean Sealock's office of Teacher's
college that an approximate cut of
$4500, representing the amount nec
essary for the addition of new cour
ses in the summer school session,
particularly English, Home Econom
ics, Physical Education and Mathe
matics, has been made in the budget
for that session. This change is the
result of a recent meeting of the
Board of Regents in Omaha.
The total budget allowed for the
summer session of 1927 is $64,000.
A slight increase of $1000 is granted
in courses offered during last year's
summer school, where an advance in
enrollment necessitated the added ex
penditure. A needful policy of economy and
careful scrutinization of budget ap
propriations have caused these chan
ges. With the exception of these new
courses which were to be offered,
other requirements of the budget
were allowed. Demand of summer
school students wishing to take
courses formerly not offered during
the academic year was the reason for
the desired added appropriation to
the budget.
TICKETS SELL FAST
FOR SERPENT PARTY
Unique "Hobo" Party For Junior
Girls Will Be Held at Ellen
Smith Hall Thursday
Tickets are selling fast and every
indication points toward a large at
tendance at the hobo party to be
given for Junior girls by members of
Silyer Serpent Thursday from 6 to 8
o'clock at Ellen Smith halL
With a mad search for overalls,
faded shirts, bandanas, odd hose, an
tique caps and soleless shoes, girls
of the junior class are responding to
the spirit of the event.
As informality is the keynote of
this jambouree, the more ridiculous
the costume, the better it typifies the
careless, carefree appearance and
disposition of those chronic wander
ers and 'rod-riders', the more suc
cessful will the party be.
The entertainment committee is
working with diligence to provide
skits, readings and musical numbers
which, with the dancing to music by
Cleo Slagle's Red Jacket orchestra,
will constitute the diversion of the
evening. Refreshments, which will be
served late, will be sufficient for
hobo capacities.
Tickets may be obtained at the
College Book store and from Silver
Serpents until 1 o'clock today.

Coach Henry F. Schulte and hia
Cornhusker track and field men this
season. The 1927 Ncbraskka track
and fifld schedule not only includes
a larger number of meets than ever
before hut offers the most varied
schedule ever arranged here.
Featuring the trip to California
for a meet with the strong Univer
sity of California Bears and the Mis
souri Valley Conference outdoor
meet which is to be held here for the
second successive year, ttie Husker
track schedule is one that would de
light any track coach, athlete, or
fan. With only nine letter-men,
Coach Schulte and his assistants,
Jimmy Lewis and Choppy Rhodes,
are confronted with the task of
building almost an entire squad with
green material. They are swinging
to the task, with the best schedule of
recent years and also a series of
numeral and tri-color meets to at
tract new men to the stadium.
Season Opens This Month
A clash with the combined
strength of the Nebraska College
Conference teams on the stadium in
door track February 12 opens the
varsity schedule. Tryouts for this
meet will be held next Tuesday in
conjunction with the first of the tri
color meets. This will be the first
indoor meet ever held here. The
meet will be held in the evening and
arrangements are being made to ac
comodate from one to two thousand
people.
' Three foreign indoor meets will
fill up the early part of the season.
On February 19, a team will go to
Kansas City for the annual K. C. A.
C. indoor games. A week later, a
small squad will be sent to the an
nual Illinois Indoor Relays at Ur
bana, held under the auspices of the
University of Illinois. The indoor
schedule will be brought to a close
with the Missouri Valley conference
meet, to be held at Des Moines this
year with Drake as hosts. Nebraska
has won the indoor championship for
the last two years.
Outdoor Meet April 2
The outdoor schedule opens with
the California trip, on which the Hus
kers will tangle in three meets. The
squad will stop at Denver on the
way out for a triangular meet with
Denver University and Colorado Ag
ricultural College on April 2. Two
days later, they will meet the Uni
versity of New Mexico at Albuquer
que. Then on April 9, the University
of Nebraska and the University of
California will meet at Berkeley in
one of the big intersectional dual
meets of the season.
The relay season opens up the lat
ter part of ApriL Nebraska will take
part in the Kansas Relays at Law
rence April 23 and in the Drake
Relays at Des Moines, April 29-30.
With the exception of Locke and
Hein, the sprint relay teams are in
tact, but new teams will have to be
developed for the distances.
The bie event of the outdoor sea
son is the annual valley meet which
will again be held on the stadium
track. All nine of the valley schools
will participate in this meet which
is one of the annual classics of the
Middle-West. The meet was won last
year by Nebraska against the ster
ling efforts of 400 crack valley ath
letes. One world's record was broken.
one equalled, and six valley records
were bi-oken at last year's meet.
Dual Meets Are Few
The dual schedule is not as exten
sive as it has been some years be
cause the Drake Relays and the Val
ley meet are so close together. How
ever, the Cornhuskers will go to Man
hattan May 7 for a triangular meet
with the two Kansas schools. On
May 13, Drake will meet the Huskers
in a dual meet at the stadium.
