ORR RETDRNS FROM TRIP
Secures Sereral Fossil for Museum
From Nebraska Location
Philip Orr of the University Mu
seum has just returned from a trip
over various parts of trie state in
search of fossils for the Museum. He
went first to Cowles, where he dug a
tusk out from a sandpit near there.
About half of the specimen had been
destroyed when the bank of the pit
caved in, but the remainder was in
fairly good condition. This specimen
was boxed and shipped here.
Mr. Orr prospected around Bloom
ington, where he located several fos
sil elephants but he did not dig for
any of these. At Cambridge he lo
cated and dug out a jaw, which is
more than five feet long and is an
excellent specimen from the long-
jawed elephants. Some material was
located at Stockville, but there was
nothing of great importance there.
Mr. Orr found much material which
may be added to the Museum collec
tions sometime later, in addition to
the specimens which he has just sent.
ST. OLAF CHOIR
APPEARS HERE
Minnesota College A Capella
Singers to Give Concert
Saturday Night
COUNTRY'S MOST FAMOUS
The renouned St. Olaf Choir, com
posed of students from St. Olaf col
lege at Northfield, Minnesota, is to
appear in concert Saturday evening
at the St. Paul M. E. church. The
choir is undoubtedly the most fam
ous in the world for A Cappella sing
ing, at the present time, according to
Dean John Roseborough of the School
of Music, who is director of the Lin
coln A Capella choir.
Dr. F. Melius Christiansen, direct
tor of St. Olaf's choir, is a highly
trained specialist in this particular
phase of art and has written many
choral compositions which take rank
among the very finest of all such lit
erature. He, together with his choir,
is well known abroad as well as
throughout the United States, and
has appeared . Jxjfortl lb court of
Norway.
Visitor To Be Given Dinner
The A Cappella music, according to
Dean Roseborough, is different from
such higher forms of music as the
string quartet and the Symphony or
chestra in that it is more easy to
understand. The numbers are shorter,
exceptionally melodious, and perfect
ly fitted to the text. All numbers sung
are sacred and many are elaborate
treatments of famous chorales. The
program Saturday is to be made up
of anthems and motets by Grieg,
Schumann, Shreck, Bach, and Mr.
Christiansen himself.
The sixty members of the visiting
choir are to be guests of the Lincoln
A Cappella at dinner Saturday eve
ning, and will sing for its distun
guished guests on that occasion. Dur
ing their stay here, Dr. and Mrs.
Christiansen are to be entertained at
the home of Dean and Mrs. Rose
borough.
Omaha Medics
Desert Paints
For Doctoring
Rich man, poor man, beggar man,
thief Doctor, lawyer, merchant
"Painter."
After attempting to paint their
fraiernity house, members of Phi
Beta Pi, medical fraternity of the
University of Nebraska, at Omaha,
have decided that they prefer to be
doctors rather than painters. i
It took three days of failure to
show these men that painting was
not their calling. The medics had de
cided to do their own painting, after
i contractor had said he wouia
harge them from $225 to $260 to do
the work.
Their first steD was to buy ?20
worth of lumber and build a scaffold.
But the scaffold was so "heavy they
couldn't lift it so they had to build
another. Bv Tuesday everything was
ready for the painting and as this
was the last day of vacation, tne
medics started painting at a rapid
rate.
During the course of the day Glen
Reach fell from the scaffold with a
can of paint which spilled not only
all over himself but on William neu-
seen.
"The main trouble," laughed Hen-
Trniier. "was that we seemed to
get more paint on ourselves than on
the house. We were trying to paim
window ledges and other exterior
woodwork, . but the paint tnat we
didn't get on ourselves we spilt on the
bricks.
"Wail pall for new bids from con
tractors. ItH probably cost us plenty
to have the pains that we smeared

The answer to that question may be a deciding factor in the California-Nebraska track meet at
Berkeley Saturday. Above is Clifford Ashburn, sophomore shot-putter of the Husker squad and
holder of the state high school record. Gerken,' Bear shot-putter has been heaving the ball around
50 feet, while Ashburn's best mark to date has been close to 45 feet If Ashburn'? throws better

FIFTH ACADEMIC
CONTEST IS SOON
Interscholastic Events To Take
Place Over State On
April 23 .
MEET IS HERE MAY 14
The fifth annual Interscholastic
Academic preliminary contests of
Nebraska high schools are to be held
Saturday, April 23, will be somewhat
modified this year as a result of
knowledge gained in previous con
tests. Preliminary contests will be he!d
for districts of the districts of the
Nebraska State Teachers association
who plan for them, and sectional
contestiTwill be held for county
groups in practical places. Awards
are to be made according to regional
organization.
Individual merit is to be the basis
of the awards and as a consequence
the smallest high schools will com
pete with the largest on a plane of
equality.
Representatives from the state in
stitutions and colleges will conduct
the contests. Uniform questions are
to be provided by the University of
Nebraska. Rules, regulations, and
definitions of limits will be the same

Invitations for
Seniors Ready
... . Until April W
Bob Stephens, president of the
senior class, announced last week
that the senior invitations would re
main on sale at Long's Book store
until April 10. All seniors should or
der their invitations as soon as pos
sible.
The leather-covered invitation is
a dull rich blue in color, with a cut
of Morrill Hall at the top. Just below
this is the word "Nebraska", the Ne
braska seal, and the date. This de
sign is much simpler than is ordin
arily used. The paper covered invi
tation is the same design, but has a
parchment-colored cover, tied with
either red or blue cord. The simple
engraved announcement is on cream
colored paper with the state seal at
the top as is customary.
On the inner pages will be a steel
et'graving of the stadium and one of
the field house, a list of the class of
Icers and committees for both first
and second semesters, and the com
plete list of all candidates for de
grees during 1927. Bob Stephens and
the chairman of the nivitations com
mittee, Elice Holovtchiner, plan to
make this year's invitations more or
iginal, and by using pictures of newer
buildings add to their attractiveness.

enthusiastic audience heard the
Schuyler concert at the Schuyler high
school auditorium.

the Schuyler quintet into camp by a
37 to 30 score. Carl Olson, Paul Rob

Stiff Competition in East
Roland "Gip" Locke is beginning
to lay out his spring running pro
gram. The "world's fastest human"
is laying his biggest plans on being
in shape for the annual Penn Relays
at Philadelphia April 30, for his first
pportunity to show the East what
the name of Locke means on the
track. He has also announced that he
will appear in the Nebraska Relay
carnival at Hastings April 16 where
he plans to try for a new world's
record in the 300 yard dash.
At the Penn Relays, Locke will
probably face Jackson Scholz, for
mer Missouri University flash, and
another Schulte-trained pupil, and
Henry Russell, great Cornell runner
of last year. Paddock, self-claimed
champion of champions in the sprint

BLOOD SPEAKS TO
GIRLS' CLUB MEET
Nebraska Professor Make Outline
Of Adrertisintr Field to
Commercial Club
At the monthly meeting of the
Girl's Commercial Club, held yester
day at noon til the Lincoln Chamber
of Commerce, Professor Blood out
lined very briefly the chances of em
ployment in the field of advertising.
"Women are especially adapted to
the retail field of advertising, first
because their temperament is better
suited for it thin men's, an' ncond
because the retail problem is to sell
to women. Eighty percent of buyers
of retail stores are women. We buy
because we are prompted to buy, per
haps more out of sentiment than
logic. The public cares not for the
scientific nor psychological reason
that a thing is pretty, but buy be
cause it suits the fancy.
"No profession is so pleasurable
and yet so absolutely necessary.
Once in the advertising profession,
one never gets out, for you have the
chance to express that individuality,
not just one hour, but every hour of
the day. America's biggest problem
of today is to distribute her goods,
and American industry depends on
advertising to do it. The enormous
field calls for college trained work
ers, who can present visual, construc
tive, new and individual ideas."
Trips planned for next week are

TEAM SATURDAY
California University Favored
To Win Track and Field
Meet on Coast .
STEPHENS IN FORM AGAIN
Nebraska Captain Expected to
Do Good Work in Broad
Jump ; Locke to Appear
Mid-West and Far-West will clash
tomorrow when University of Nebras-
ka and University of California tan
gle in a dual track and field meet at
Berkeley. The Pacific coast team is
the favorite to win on the basis of
early season marks but the Huskers
are conceded good chances of upset
ting the dope.
This is the second time in three
years that a Nebraska track and field
team has engaged in a dual meet with
a California aggregation. Two years
ago the Huskers made' the long coast
jaunt only to fall before a strong Le
land Stanford team. Nebraska slight
ly outscored the Cardinals in the
track events but Stanford rolled up
substantial lead in the field events.
On the return trip, the Cornhuskers
swamped the University of New Mex
ico and then a few days later staged
another scoring exhibition against
the University of Colorado.
California Power Unknown
The Cornhuskers this year are. a
much greener squad than the team
that made the trip two years ago but
a better balanced aggregation.
How California compares with the
Cardinal team Nebraska faced two
years ago, is a matter of guesswork.
Sufficient it is that in their early sea
son meets they have set marks which
will make the Huskers work to equal.
Fresh from decisive victories over
Denver University and Colorado Ag
gies in a triangular meet and the
University of New Mexico in a dual
meet, the Cornhuskers have had two
days to get used to the California
climate. All reports from the trip in
dicate that the team is in good shape.
Locke 8prtined a muscle at Denver
but ran at New Mexico so the injury
was evidently not serious. t
Nebraska fans are hoping that the
blond comet will be in shape to show
the coast track followers that his re
cords of last season were not myths
but some of the prettiest running ex
hibitions ever seen in this country,
as well as some of the fastest. Locke
is scheduled to run in exhibitions
against Phil Barber, captain of the
California track team, last year, who
has also completed his collegiate com
petition.
Stephen I Recovered
Captain Stephens' knee has re
covered better than the most optim
istic outlooks at the time of his in
jury indicated. He ran in both the
Denver-Aggie and New Mexico meets,
making time which showed that he is
getting back into shape. He jumped
at Denver but was kept out of the
broad jump at Albuquerque in order
to run no risks of injuring his knee;
What he will be able to do against
the Bears is problematical but the
