The Christian attitude toward money was next considered. Mr. Corbett pointed out that monetary values must not be taken above hu man values.

Buchanan, Fremont, Arts and Science. "I think it is all right and a lot of fun." John A. Boyer, '27, Pawnee City, Arts and Science.

'' Goal Posts Moved Back Ten Yards To End of End Zone and "One-Two-Three-Four" Shift Rulo Most Important Changes. ' Commenting on the changes in football rules announced by a com mittee of football authorities, Coach Bearg declared they were very dras tic and he wanted to try them out during spring football practice before passing judgment. "Moving the goal posts back ten yards will greatly affect drop-kicking and place-kicking. Touchdowns as sume an added importance and fewer games will be decided by three point margins." Other features of the new rules will not materially affect plays al ready drafted during the spring ses sion. Time, shifts and the new for ward pass requirements will call for extensive drill on the part of back- field candidates. Since the introduction of the for ward pass more than twenty years ago, no change in the game has been more comprehensive and drastic. The traditional goal posts will no longer guard theN final chalk line. As one of the Cornhuskers remarked Monday evening during practice, "Now we won't know when we make a touch down." A summary of the changes in the grid regulations follows: Officials may count "one-two- three-four" to measure the period players must remain at a full stop after a shift and before the ball is passed. A penalty of fifteen yards for hav ing a man in motion when the ball is snapped. Each team may be penalized if it stays in huddle more than 15 sec onds or delays more than 30 seconds before putting ball in play. Captain may call time out four times each half. A forward pass, if fumbled, will still belong to the side making the pass, except on fourth down, when it goes to the other side at point where it first touched ground. The goal posts will be removed to end of end zone, ten yards back of touchdown line, adding ten yards to all kicks for goal. Commercial Club To Hold Monthly Dinner The University Commercial Club will hold its March monthly dinner at the Grand Hotel at 6 o'clock. The committee announces that an inter esting program has been prepared consisting of faculty members and a representative business man from downtown. Tickets will be fifty cents. INTEREST GROWING IN REVIVED PROM Ticket Sales for Junior-Senior Prom Indicate Interest of Students , In Return of Tradition With the announcement that a Ne braska Piom Girl will be named at the Junior-Senior Prom Marcli 18, in terest in the ball is growing by leaps and bounds. Although the Prom is not a new idea at Nebraska, the se lection of a Senior girl to be the "Lady of the Evening" is a new one here. At other schools the selection of a Prom Girl is an annual event and it is the hope of the committee that it will some day become a Ne braska tradition. Ticket sales for the Prom are good Louis Turner said yesterday. All fraternity representatives are asked to turn in their unsold tickets to him at the Delta Tau Delta house Wed nesday afternoon from 1:30 until 2 o'clock. Arrangements Are Completed All arrangements for the Prom have been completed by the commit tee, Oscar Norling, chairman, said Monday. The two orchestras, Beck's, and Tracy Brown's Oklahcmans of Omaha, have been engaged and will furnish an evening of continuous en tertainment a week from Friday in the Coliseom. Other entertainment will probably be engaged for at least a part of the evening also. The decorative plans have been completed and are in the hands of a professional decorator, who has placed his order for several bales of smilax, which will be used together with colored lights .as the scheme. Under the present plan, the Coliseum will be so lighted and decorated as to present the appearance of a small er floor with a lower ceiling. No white lights will be used. Evolution in American Lighthouses Most of the American lighthouses guarding ships against coastal rocks have now run the complete gamut of lighting in the last 200 years. They begun with fish oil and then pro ceeded through sperm oil, rapeseed or colza oil, lard oil, vaporized kero sene with inc9dcTifc mantles and finally electricity uron which main dependance is put nowadays.

These students asserted that a high per cent of the student body of the Colorado Agricultural College was in favor of such an abolition. The rea son given was that the proposed change would hasten the completion of the term's work by one week thus giving the young men a chance to ork on farra when their services are most needed. Dean Johnson stated that the abol ition of sprint vacation would not chango the date for closing the iwim.
