THE UIIIKIIY PARTY IS
A BIG, H0U6 SUCCESS
ABOUT ONE THOUSAND STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS
PRESENT WHEN ONLY HALF WERE EXPECTED.
DAICIE6 WAS FEATURE OF
Movement on Foot For a Second Party of This Nature Date Men
tioned as December 11 Refreshments Served to the Multitude
Sentiment Strong For a New Building Accommo
dations Must be Made For the Crowds.
Nebraska's first "All University
Party" was a startling success. All ex
pectations were eo far exceeded in
reality that thep leasure of the com
mittee was forced to give way before
their amazement. Plans had been
made for an attendance of not to ex
ceed five hundred at the most. By the
close of the evening one thousand per
sons had been through the halls.
Not only was the success of the
Friday night "mixer" assured, but also
the committee was so Impressed with
the manner in which the Btudents took
hold of the affair that the decision
was instantaneous and unanimous for
retaining the party in the University
social activities. The next one will
be held, it is reported, on December 11.
To clII these parties "mixers" is to
describe them rightly. No more demo
cratic an instiutlon couia oe cuiiceivea.
They are the meeting places for frat
and barb, as there is no visible distinc
tion. Through the whole gathering is
such a true social spirit that all affilia
tions are forgotten with a single ex
ception: all are keenly conscious that
they are members of the "mixer boos
ter club."
For those that cared to dance a fine
program had been prepared. The
Armory was reserved for the dancers
and tuey were favored with good
music. A large mapority of those who
spent the evening in theb uildlng took
part in most of the numbers.
In the chapel of Memorial Hall en
tertainment was provided those who
remained there. The room had been
tastily decorated with pennants anu
banners and was very attractive. Be
sides games, songs, and the stunts put
on there was the same freedom of con
versation that characterized the party.
Every couple was Induced to do their
best to break conventionalities.
KOMENSKY CLUB TO
HELPJHEIR COUNTRY
Will Sell Statues of Komensky on
Campus Local Club Will do All
in Their Power.
The Komensky Club will' have the
small busts of Komeqsky the great
Bohemian educator here soon and will
put them on sale here. The original
purpose of this was to Increase the
fund for a large statue of Komensky
to be placed on the campus. There
is about $l,50i) in this fund now, but
lately because of not knowing just
where the campus would be located
until after the recent vote on Uni
versity removal there has been little
agitation along this line.
Though thli was the original pur

EVENING AMUSEMENT FOR ALL
Among the games that were enjoyed
in the chapel were those in the nature
of old fashioned dances in which large
numbers participated.
In the course of the evening re
freshments of ice cream and cake
were served. The wisdom of the com
mittee's selection was attested by the
way it was received, or rather dis
posed of.
Many students contributed to the
sucess of the affair in as great a
degree as those whose names have
been suggested, and to add a list of
the most active ones would be an in
justice to all presnt, for no line could
be drawn. But it is certain that to
Miss Graham and to Miss Parks be
longs much credit. As general chair
mna, Miss Graham gave such en-
thllsiflRTTl trt tko cxnnmittoofl IBat XBlt-
ure was Impossible. Miss Parks was
1n charge of the committee on enter
tainment, and has received endless
commendation on her ability.
The closing number of the evening
was the grand march. Nearly all
present tok part and it delightfully
ended the evening of pleasurable en
joyment. The only suggestion that has been
made by way of improvement is this:
"Would not a new building be as use
ful for such affairs asfor any other
purposes to which It might be devoted,
gymnasiums, for instance?" "Ne
braska is badly in need of a larger
floor space for classes. It is realizing
taht to remain in the present cramped
quarters is to remain inefficient. A
combined gymnasium would fill a long
felt need, and besides the sundry other
purpose that it would fill, it would
offer the proper room for the latest in
stitution to be established at Ne
braska." the Bohemians have been forced has
placed them In a position similar to
that of the Belgians. The Bohemian
clubs all over the country are raising
funds to help them. Recently twenty
Red Cross surgeons were sent to Bo
hemia to aid the suffering there and
as Bohemia Is right In the line of the
Russian advance there Is and will be
quite a famine. The Komensky Club
of the University of Nebraska want to
do their part and so they have decided
to wait for the large statue and con
tribute their share to this fund. The
profit on these statues will be used
for this purpose. The price of these
will be One Dollar and as they are a
very good I'keness of the great man,
made by an art student in Chicago,
no one should refuse to purchase one
of these.

enthusiastic meeting at Faculty Hall,

FRATERNITY MEN
WATCH FRESHMEN
Prof. Barker Says Freshmen Are Be
ing Benefited 'Are. Forced to
Keep up Their Work.
The fraternity men are taking more
than usual interest in their pledges
this year than has ever been shown
before this year. The pledges of the
various frats are required to take bet
ter care of themselves, especially In
regard to their habits and their con
duct as students in a state university.
They are reminded that they are here
for some special purpose.
One instance that had come under
Dr. Barker's special observation was
given in his Zoology class Wednesday
morning. The doctor spoke of a man
who had signed up for the course, and
then developed what is known -as
"cold feet," this is a chronic iLuent
winch some students are very apt to
become infected with this dangerous
disease to their own disater. This
man's case became so serious that, he
finally dropped the subject without
saying anything to the professor. Now
the other day the young man discov
ered that he was liable to be dropped
by his frat unless he made this sub
ject. He is now willing to come back
and try to make the matter up
but the doctor is through with the
matter as far as he is concerned, for as
he said, the object of the school is not
to develop men for frats but rather to
make them see their duties as men.
It is to the credit of the frats that
when all else fails to stimulate an -in
terest in their work the frat jogs him
up and the result Is that he will buckle
down and work to beat "thunder."
The frats will have to live up to this
standard as it Is of their own setting
and the men in the various fraternities
will see that this Is held up and this
year the chance for scholarships
among the frats will be greater than
ever before.
GIRL'S CLUB LUNCHEON

Over One Hundred Active Students
and (Alumni Were Present Miss

The Girl's Club gave their annual
"home-coming" luncheon at noon on
Saturday. It was very well attended,
there being about one hundred twenty
girls present. Present students, alumni
and out of town visitors. Miss Freda
Stuff acted as hostess and introduced
Miss Hrbkova who gave a very clever
talk urging the girls to shout their
best and stand by the team individual

EIGHT THOUSAND ROOTERS SEE JAYHAWKS FRICASSEED
ON NEBRASKA GRIDIRON.
NEBRASKA'S GOAL NEVER OfiCE THREATENED DURING GAME
Final Score Was 35 to 0, Being a Higher Score Than Was Ever Before '
. Made by the Cornhuskers Against the Jayhawks Captain
Halligan, Howard, and Potter, Play Their Last
Game on the Home Field.
All hail the champions of the Mis
souri Valley Conference. For the fifth
time in as many years, the coveted
honor is ours. By the overwhelming
score of 35 to 0, the Cornhusker giants
crushed the Jayhawk Saturday. Never
before has Nebraska defeated Kansas
by so large a score. The words of
Halligan, spoken at Thursday's rally,
were truly prophetic: "We will beat
the Jayhawks," said the Cornhusker
captain, "by a larger scoro than ever
before." The highest score to our
credit against Kansas, before Satur
day, was in 1911, when the Huskers
accumulated 29 points against their
southern rivals.
Undercloudy, threatening skies, the
vast crowd gathered until at 2:30 the
stands and bleachers were practically
Ailed, especially the law section where
standing room was at a premium, and
cuss-words predomianted in the pep
pery yells and songs, so popular
among the Blackstone disciples. The
two teams raced through a short
warming-up practice, then lined up for
the kick-off, and the game was on.
All through the first period, until the
last few minutes, Nebraska, who
played on the defensive, punting on
the first or second down. A short
time before the quarter ended the
Cornhuskers started for the Kansas
goal line, with blood in their eyes.
The result was a touchdown, Chamber
lain carrying the ball over the line.
The second quarter showed conclusive
ly that the game was ours, and the
only question was what would the
final score be. The Huskers had
demonstrated that they could hold the
Jayhawks with east, and could gain
at will, also. Not once in the whole
game did Kansas threaten the Ne
braska goal. Two or three times they
got close enough to try place-kicks,
there will be a meeting of the Board
of Regents and every girl student, in
the University will be asked to sign
a petition for a women's building,
which many think is badly needed.
The girls then went In a body to the
athletic field where they followed Miss
Hrbkova's advice and supported the
team with unusual vim.
Columbia Disposes of Whiskey.
The Columbia police pour out all
whiskey confiscated from bootleggers.
The officers of the law after the
whiskey is seized and the case against
the bootlegger is over, take the whis
key and In full view of citizens pour
it in the street in front of the police
station.
Sometimes the negro spectators
smack their lips and joke about the
useless waste of "dat good liquor."
lAst week the stock of the past few
months was emptied in the street.

VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP
but shucks, their kicks were blocked
when they did get them started right.
There was absolutely "nothing doing"
for Kansas.
No scoring was done in the third"
period, principally because the Corn
huskers were penalized often, and for
long distances. In the final quarter,
however, the Huskers opened up with
an atack so fierce and virile that the
fagged and shattered Jayhawk defense
disintegrated before it, until the play
resembled a procession, with Chamber
lain leading the parade. Twice, in the
last few minutes of play, the marvel
ous right halfback tore through the
entire Kansas team for touchdowns.
Rutherford, who played in his usual
all-American style, was the most de
pendable grounr-gainer on the field,
his attempts being good for from five
to ten yards every time, but all the
Cornhusker ball-luggers, and especial
ly Halligan, Chamberlain, DeLamatre,
Potter, and Corey, were highly suc
cessful in their invasion of the
enemy's territory. Others who showed
up especially well for Nebraska were,
Cameron, Abbott, Howard, Balis and
Shields. Cameron had the Jayhawks'
unique and reversible center frazzled
to a nervous wreck before the game
was five minutes old.
A feature of the game that proved
a pleasant surprise to Nebraska root
ers, was the success with which the
forward pass was handled 'by the Ne
braskans. Howard seemed able to re
ceive the pass, regardless of how many
struggling Jayhawks were surrounding
him. Captain Halligan, Howard, and
Potter, played their last game on me
old Nebrasna field, Saturday. A more
fitting close to their brilliant gridiron
careers could hardly be imagined,
than that glorious victory over the
aspiring Jayhawk.
JAYHAWKS TRAVEL
HOMEWARD IN FORD
Also Came In One But They Got to
See the Cornhuskers in Action
so Were Repaid.
The Kansas team was accompanied
by a crew of motely rooters. The men
of that state have so much enthusiasm
that they do feats of almost unbeliev
able daring. Jf the Jayhawk crew is
to be Judged by the supporters they
sure are "some bunch." Four men
came all the way from the palace of
the western winds to the state where
the winds do not blow ir. a Ford auto
mobile; a feat the like has not been
heard of in the past century. This at
tests to the fact that the Jayhawk
are "some bunch "
