ment over Auburn featuraay morn-
Ing and the trophy offered by tne
Nebraska Bar association when
they proved that the present Jury
system and criminal trials in the
United States should be abolished.
The decision was unanimous for
the winners.
' Jackson and Auburn went into
the final toimd of the tourney hy
virtue of their defeats over Beat
rice and Hastings, respectively, in
the semifinals Friday night. The
Jackson team claimed the jury sys
tem is undesirable, inefficient and
declared that there was a more de
sirable means of securing Justice
in criminal prosecutions, in prc-
renting their reasons for abolition
of ury and criminal trials.

Campus Theme Sung
Of Last I'eic l)a
'Singing in the lluin
The theme song heard on the
campus thc last few days seems to
be "Singing in the Rain" as thc
bedraggled students wend tbeir
weary way from one class to an
other, vainly attempting to dodge
all the raindrops possible. The
only redeeming feature the incle
ment weather offers is the oppor
tunity for the students lo display
new and startling innovations in
slickers bedecked with scenic ef
fects that would cause Jacob of
Biblical fame to turn green with
envy and sell his famed cloak tv
some somatic buyer Of old clothes.
State Meteorologist Thomas A.
Blair refuses to allow the suffer
ing public a glimmer of hope for
the next few days with cloudy
weather and possible rain reported
for today and Monday. Small
hopes are held tor a successful Ivy
day if the gentle pattering of rain
does not ceaae within a reasonable
length of time.
