A thorough preparation for the symphonies to be presented this year is possible through a series of classes held each Saturday evening from five to Bix in Art Hall. The following, in the words of Pro fessor Dann. presents in a logical man ner the program outlined for the year: "Mrs. Raymond, director of music in the University, is planning to give during the University year nine sym phonies with strings and organ, a com bination of instruments that has been employed under Mrs. Raymond's di rection in rendering orchestral work. The organ supplies the parts of the wood-winds and other instruments, and the performers, though few in number, .manage by sympathetic co operation to give the impression that one is hearing a small but highly effi cient orchestra. "It is not often, even under favor able conditions, that one can hear the entire series of Beethoven symphonies and Mrs. Raymond is planning to give even the ninth the most stupendous of them alL It is a rare opportunity to learn at first hand the character and development of . Beethoven's genius." The series will begin next Thurs day at Memorial Hall at 11 o'clock. On that occasion the First Symphony will be rendered. Kansas Aggies. Ernest Frank, 1912 captain of the Cornhusker champions is assisting In hammering the backfield into shape. Frank is taking postgraduate work in the Animal Husbandry department. His presence on the Kansas State coaching staff will be a worthy addi tion to that department. The Jayhawk dope looks good. Although only seven letter men have returned the squad numbers into the sixties. The back field at the start appears to have the edge on the line for material that is to say on experienced material. Fve of the veterans are back-field men and many of the new candidates aspire to similar positions. Kansas Daily. JUDGE FROST GIVES ADDRESS YESTERDAY Spoke on Prison Reform to Students Told About Prison Break Last Year. "Inefficient management and obso lete methods were the cause of the prison break last year' said Judge Frost in his address to the students at Convocation Tuesday. The judge is an alumnus, having graduated in 1386, and the chapel was crowded with stu dents to hear him. Following the outbreak, the judge began to investigate and the condi tions ha told of finding or learning were shocking. One of the needed re forms in dealing with criminals, the judge believes is the indeterminant sentence. Nebraska now has a modi fied form of such a sentence, the dif ference between the proposed and present plans being that in the former th'ere is no maximum nor minimum. Judge Frost is an entertaining speaker, and his Investigations of the matter gave him a first-hand know! edge of his subject. Reverence Tor Laws. Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her 'lap; let it be taught tar schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling-books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the politi cal religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly on its altars.

THE DUTCH SUPPER THE BIGGEST SUCCESS OF THE , GIRL'S SOCIAL SEASON. NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED THERE Novel Subscription Plan Has Been In stituted One Cent Each Dzy Is the Scheme This Aids Good Cause. The Y. W. C. A. indoor picnic held last night in the Armory was attended by four hundred and sixty girls and served as another demonstration of Nebraska girls interest and, enthusi asm. The Interest that people from other states are taking in Nebraska's cam paign to support Miss Coppock as a missionary in China was shown by tine speeches given by the National Y. W. C. A. workers. Miss Mayhew, national physical director in China, who has worked with Miss Coppock in China was the chief speaker of the evening. She told of the wonderful opportunity now open in China since the establish ment of the new government 200 mil lion women have been given freedom and the question now is how they shall use that freedom. Unless the use of this freedom is properly directed it may prove a menace instead of a bene fit to the Chinese women. Miss May hew explained that they are anxious to. take up new and progressive ideas but as yet are not able to choose the beneficial customs introduced by the western people. They havia given up their old superstition and thoughts and something else must replace those ideas. Nebraska Uni girls are especially fortunate in choosing China as the fiieJd for their work, said Miss May hew, and especially fortunate in hav ing Miss Coppock as their worker as she has her hand in every movement of development and progress. The plan of the financial support of Miss Coppock Is so arranged that each girl may hat a share. The price of a share has been designated as 52 cents or 1 cent for each week during the year. By this'arrangement any girl who takes seven shares will be supporting the work in China for one day. Each girl who pledges her self to pay some specified amount will pay on the date of her birthday. This idea has been instigated in order to help the thought of helpfulness to oth ers instead of self-interest uppermost in the mind of the givers. The cam paign will continue throughout this week and every girl will be given an opportunity to do her share toward supporting a missionary in China. Books. You can not afford to buy books? Can you afford carpets on your floors, feathers on your bonnets, sweetmeats on your tables, seats in the gallery of the theater? Then you can afford to buy books. You might far better live in a house with bare floors, and dis pense with many of those luxuries of food and dress that every mechanic and laboring man contrives to get, than to deny yourself books. When It comes to be understood that books are necessaries of life indispensable furnishings of every adequate home even the poorest people will find ways of purchasing them. Washington Gladden.

The copy for the student directory was all in th hands of the printer last evening and the work is being rushed as rapidly as possible. Unless some unforseen delay arises the book will be on sale within two weeks fully a month earlier than last year. This was madia possible by hiring a stenogra pher during the first three weeks of the school instead of having the work done gratis by students as i. has been done heretofore. This additional ex penditure has necessitated raising the price of the directory to fifteen cents. There will also be a limited number of leather copies printed which will sell at a higher price. Editor-lin-ChM Hewitt tate3 that the directory this year will be an im provement in many respects over that of last yer.r.

GAME if BE OFF STIEHM OBJECTS TO MEN WHOM COYOTES WISH TO PLAY. H. POTTER MAY BE ELIGIBLE The Team s Reconstructed Already Is Showing up to Better Advantage and the Coaches Are More Hopeful. By H. I. Kyle. There is a strong possibility that the game wlith South Dakota, scheduled for next Saturday, will not be played, unless the authorities of the northern school show an inclination to abide by their contract with Nebraska. Assistant Coach Hoeffel returned from South Dakota Monday, with the wierd" news that there are mien in the regular Coyote line-up who have been upholding the honor of their institu tion on the gridiron for the last six or seven years. It was expected that South Dakota would play freshmen against us, for she has no eligibility rules except as are demanded by other schools before they will agree to play her, but it was hoped that she would make an effort to find eleven men from among her student body who had not taken up football as a lifelong pro fession. The Coyote denter, who goes by the name of Potts, has clung to his dear old Alma Mater and his position on the team with a tenacity that is really touching. He has received so many letters from her that it would almost seem they are regular cor respondents. He is the "center" of (Continued on page 3) DR.
