There was about thirty per cent of the entire College of Agricultures present and as it is re ported the girls were In the majority. The purpose of this society is to bring the Home Economics Club and the Ag riculture Club eogether. It is the only Agriculture Club In the University In which the boys and girls can get to gether. It is also one of the youngest institutions in the University, being started last year. Its present success indicates a promising future for one fact, because of its democratic nature. All present report a good time and a decided success for the organization itself. Part of the entertainment of the evening was a mock field meet, after which refreshments were served. There will be about four more meet ings this year and all students of agri culture are requested to come out. The flower of Minnesota's fair sex will clash with that of Wisconsin upon the Armory gridiron this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

GROSS COUNTRY TEAM TAKES LAST PLACE Captain of Team Explains Reason Makes Frank Statement of the Situation. Cross, country running at Nebraska has become a joke. Nebraska has finished a poor last, a fair third, and another very poor last in the past three M. V. C. meets. The reason is not hard to discover. At Ames, usual ly the winner, cross country is a major sport. A special coach devotes his attention to some thirty-five candi dates. At Kansas a winning team gets a big "K." At Nebraska, the pitiful little squad has neither coach nor a possibility of winning a real "N." So I say either devote a fair proportion of attention to cross coun try so that it doesn't advertise Ne braska in an inverse ratio to the repu tation built up by the football team either do this, or abolish It altogether, and of these two alternatives, I believe the latter is the better.

The "Home-coming" issue of the "Awgwan" is out today and is dedi cated to the annual home-coming event of the year in athletics. The front page cartoon is by Leslie Slack and represents a good old man with a Ne braska pennant and a cigar in his hand. His face shows that some re mark has been made at the cost of this institution and he is ready to take the matter to the manly art of self-defense if necessary. A welcome to the old grad is expressed by another cartoon and poem by the same man. These are on the introductory page of this issue. Lincoln's home-coming address is given in this paper and it is certainly worth the while of every Nebraskan rooter to get the "Awgwan" and read this memorable speech. There are a great many clever cartoons in this edition, especially on "Willie's Home coming." The sorority house chatter is very good and exceedingly true to life. Illinois Freshmen Demand More Employment. Nearly 400 students of which ninety per cent are freshmen have applied for work at the Y. M. C. A. employment bureau of the University- of Illinois. Only 137 students have been given positions at which they can earn enough to pay for their board. The head of the employment bureau says that the department has never been so swamped with men after work. The tie game with Oklahoma spoils our chances of an ever-victorious team, but the prospects are good for a never-defeated squad. Daily Kan Ban. THE BLUE PRINT DIVIDENDS PUZZLE The Dividends Were Issued in the Form of a Steak Roast Several Members Missing. For fear that there may be some misunderstanding in regard to the Blue Print dividends, which, according to the Nebraskan yesterday, were de clared to have been paid, members of the staff wish to inform the public that the dividends were in the form of a steak roast at Miss Branson's bungalow. The feature of the event was the fact that three more couples started for the cottage than the number that reached it. Business Manager of the Blu'e' Print Is still at a loss as to what may have happened to these parties for he has not seen them to this late date. WORLD-WIDE PEACE PROFESSOR FLING MAKES CLEAR THE SITUATION. UNIVERSITY BAND PLAYED Oliver Theatre Well Filled Other Prominent Speakers Announced For Future Meet ings. Prof. F. M. Fling of the European History department Is gaining con siderable recognition and popularity by his frequent lectures on the differ ent subjects brought before him by the Great War. As is quite often the case, many misunderstandings arise over the discussions of such ordinarily deli cate topics and" Prof. Fling says he is continually niisunderstood. His address at the Oliver theater Sunday, before a large audience, was well delivered. In the course of the afternoon he spokw of the logic In the supposition that in the future all dis agreements between nations would be settled by diplomacy "we would en joy," he said, " a social circle of the nations, in which inimical spirits had no place nor would be countenanced." "This was is the end, the last crash of an old, outgrown system," he said, "and in the future public opinion will make any such abomination as war impossible." World institutions would obviate the necessity of nations' going to war, was his opinion. "Outraged Belgium," could not be neglected. A collection amounting to $75.39 was received. This, together with the numerous shiploads of evi denced sympathy, will be forwarded to the American far correspondents' "devastated fields" and "profaned Louvain" to relieve any suffering that may have been caused. UNIVERSITY ARMY DEFENDS BUILDINGS Take Their Stand in Front of Univer sity Hall Hold Position For Period of One Hour. The standing army of the University of Nebraska took their stand in front of the old University Hall late yester day afternoon. Te opposing forces of desirei and natural inclination did their best to dislodge our forces but the commanding voices of the officers suc ceeded in keeping the boys in yellow at their posts of duty. It was only for the short period of one hour however, that this stand was maintained and then the ranks broke and the men sought Individual ehelter. It is to be regretted that the army of the Uni versity Is so forgetful of duty and love for their colors that they will beat a retreat In such disorderly fashion as was witnessed last evening. But after all maybe It was only one of these stfategetic retreats typical of the foreign nations. Perhaps the latter is the beet idea, at any rate it is hoped that the army will again collect themselves and take their stand to night.
