liminaries in the special events and
snrint relays will be hel.d today with
finals in all events set for Saturday.
Men making the trip were Wyatt,
Davenport, Campbell, Dailey Doty,
Ashburn, Hurd, Durisch, Pospisil,
Page, Wirsig, Chaddardon, Johnson,
Janulewicz, McCartney, Sprague,
Fleming, Krause, and Andrews. Cap
tain Stephens is still unable to comT
pete and because of the limit of nine
teen men placed on the squad had to
be left at home. The squad is also
without the services of "Doc" Mc
lean, trainer, who accompanied
Locke to Philadelphia where he will
compete in the Penn Relays tomor
row. Husker Chance Poor
Busker chances for sweeping vic
tories are practically nil. But the
Nebraskans are conceded to have a
good chsnce of placing well in
both the mile and four inile relays as
well as several of the special events.
Davenport, Campbell, Dailey, and
Wyatt, make a mile relay quartet
that will push any of them with an
even break in the luck and baton
passing.
The Huskers ere practically sure
to have a team in the four mile relay
this week as McCartney is making
the trip to run in case any of the
other four are sick as was the case
with Sprague last week. Sprague
took a half in 2:07.8 last night and
another one later in 2:10, both with
out pushing himself, so he should be
ia good shape again for Saturday.
McCartney will run in one of the spe
cial distance runs if he is not needed
in the four mile relay.

1000 TO ATTEND
GREEK BANQUET
Committee Expects Largest
Attendance for Event of
Its Kind Here
PLACQUES TO BE GIVEN
Especially fine entertainment has
been secured for the Interfraternity
banquet May 4, according to mem
bers of the committee.
Wilbur Chenoweth, organist at the
Lincoln theater and a pianist of con
siderable prominence, will present a
two-piano act with Harold Turner,
pianist for the Lincoln theater sym
phony orchestra. Turner is also
well Jcnown and is one of the most
accomplished pianists in the city.
Tickets To Be Called In Soon
Tickets for the banqquet will be
called in not later than Friday noon
by Merle S. Jones, member of the
committoa in charge of tickets. Each
fraternity has a special table at the
banquet and it will be left up to the
fraternities to fill them. The gen
eral plan is to put the cost of tickets
on the house bills and issue a ticket
to each member. Many of the fra
ternities have followed this procedure
to guarantee 100 percent attendance.
Selection of the speaker has not
been made, but the committee is
seeking a man of national prom
inence; it is very likely that he will
accept. The program will be short,
according to Wendell Cameron, gen
eral chairman, and should end by
7:30.
Presentation of placques to fra
ternities leading in scholarship will
be one of the features of the evening.
These will be presented by Prof. E.
F. Schramm, chairman of the Inter
fraternity Council, who will preside.
From early indications, committee
members believe, the attendance
should be about 1,000 the largest
ever to attend this affair. Frater
nities are showing an unusual inter
est, it is reported.
Annual Band Banquet
Is Held Last Night
The R. O. T. C. band's annual ban
quet was held last night at the Grand
Hotel at 6 o'clock. The banquet,
which was sponsored by Alpha chap
ter of Gamma Lambda, men's nation
al honorary band fraternity, has been
a traditional affair in the band for
a number of years; it is usually held
every year shortly after the band
resumes its spring drill.
Donald Campbell, president of
Alpha chapter of Gamma Lambda,
was master of ceremonies. Talks
were given by Prof. Willian T. Quick,
director of the band, Reuben Maaske,
who has held the office of drum-
major during the past year, and
Charles Calhoun. Mr. Quick sketched
the history of the band since he
came to the University, told of the
Droexess the organization has made,
and the wide recognition it has gained
in recent years.
The band made the football trip
to Seattle with the team last fall,
and is already planning on being able
to travel to Pittsburgh when the
Comhuskers play there next year.
Ti oiganization has about sixty-five
men now, and is looking forward to
an even larger membership next se
mester. Co. G Wins First In

company "G" was the winner in
the reimontal review held last night
on the drill field at 5:00 P. M. The

REGENT SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
J. R. Webster, .Oatalia Attor
ney, Tells Experiences Dur
ing His Schooling
WARNS FUTURE TEACHERS
"I think we must have obedience,
we must teach our students fo obey
rules or our democracy will go down
to anarchy and ruin," stated Regent
J. R. Webster, Omaha attorney and
a member of the Board of Regents of
the University of Nebraska, when he
addressed a crowded bouse of stu
dents at a convocation yesterday
morning in the Temple.
The convocation was enthusiastic
ally started out with a "pep" rally,
The audience sang University songs
whic'u were led by Dr. C. C. Weide
rrTi, instructor of principles of edu
cation.
Tells University Experiences
"It took me thirty-nine years to
get through the university," the
speaker stated shortly after he had
been introduced by Mr. W. E. Sea-
lock, dean of Teachers College. Mr,
Webster had been in the university
of Michigan only six months when he
was granted a leave of absence and
he went homo to his mother who was
ill. "I saved her life," ha stated,
and that was more important than
school." Mr. Webster has since been
awarded the Bachelor of Arts de
gree from Michigan University, al
though he did not complete his work
tvere.
"How many of you have the ques
tion in your mind of how much
money you are going to get when you
finish your course and start teach
ing echool?" A few hands were
raised in response to the speaker's
question, but a listener could hear
many of the students utter a de
cided "no". "The highest salary re
ceived by the best primitive teacher
after years of experience was (300
and the average wage was only
$150."
Primitive Schooling
"In primitive schools the teachers
took the place of the parents and
they seemed to thing that licking and
learning went together," the speaker
said, "and I got more lickings than
all the rest of the school put together.
The studious children were placed in
the back of the room In those days
and I was always in the very front
seat.
"In the school which he attended
there was also a boy of excellent be
haviour and one day the teacher
moved this model boy up to the scat
with Mr, Webster.
"I was sort of disguested to have
that goody, goody boy beside me "
Mr. Webster said, "and in side of
fifteen minutes we both got a lick
ing. I sat and giggled to myself but
that poor boy sobbed and sobbed."
When Mr. Webster was a senior in
high school, he taught' the freshmen
one half of the day, went to his own
classes the other half and studied at
night.
"1 once said to my teacher," the
speaker declared, "failures may'be
stepping stones to success," and' he
answered, "You must be stepping
pretty fast. When one makes a fail
ure he should buckle in again, over
come it and live it down.
"Future teachers," concluded Mr.
Webster, "be careful wLen you make
a ynovfc thai yoa Kaake it clenr and
fair."
