SPECIAL MUSIC BY CHORUS Governor Morehead ''table to Attend in Closing the Student Body Sang America Senior Out - With Their Capa. Coa vocation yesterday was devoted to a Thanksgiving program. Although the chapel was not crowded a large . number were present to enjoy a very good program and to see the dignified Seniors, who were out in large num ber with their caps. The University chorus rendered the opening number. The governor's poclamation instead of being read by the .governor, who found it impossible to be there, was read by Col. Preston, and was as fol lows: Proclamation. Another year has passed, and the record of events is made by both the individual and the state. The seasons have passed in their order, and the blessings of God have been seen in the early and latter rain. The promise of the springtime has been Julfilled in the abundance of the summer harvest, and the fruits of autumn. Our barns are full and the cry of want is seldom heard in the land. Nebraska Joins with the other states of the Union, ' in praise for the fact that while the eastern world is being rocked in the throes of war, involving whole nations in utter desolation, we are at peace, the blessing of which we see in the contrast, more clearly than ever be fore. May He who guides the stars in their courses, mercifully preserve us from war, and under the lead of those in high authority, let us follow !n the path that tends to perpetual peace. That we are a happy people can be witnessed in the troops of" children, young men and maidens, as they pass to and from our schools and institu tions of learning; in the faces of our people as they go in and out of their homes and meet each other on the (Continued on page 3) LAST OUTSIDE DRILL HELD LAST NIGHT All Work Will be Held Inside Until March 15th Cadets Will Only Meet Twice a Week.

CHICA60 ARCHITECTS WORKING ON PLANS Remain in Lincoln Until After Thanks Giving Particular Attention to Chemistry Building. Charles Hodgdon and Mr. Jackson, the two Chicago architects at work on the University plans, continued their compilation of a mass of figures and data in regard to the downtown cam pus yesterday. No conference were held with the authorities, the archi tects devoting their time to a study of the campus. They are collecting ma terial in regard tothe needs of each department and the probable necessity of a new building. Particular atten tion is being paid to the Bessey hall and the Chemistry building. The architects will remain in Lincoln until some time after the Thanksgiving va cation, when they will go to Chicago and complete the plans from informa tion they gathered from personal in spection tours. ' - STUDENTS TO LEAVE FORHOUE TODAY Majority of Students Will Spend Vaca tion at Home Weary Freshmen Welcome Holidays. The Thanksgiving vacation is here now and some of the homesick Fresh men will get a chance to see their ma and pa, to say nothing of the divers brothers who will be proud of the boy Just home from college with a head full of knowledge. No doubt some of the boys will have some shy maid to see the first evening home and what will happen is entirely optional. Of course they do not think that in three weeks they will be home again for two weeks, but then boys will be boys, to say nothing of the girls. Some of the people who have not returned from Iowa City will celebrate away from home, while some of the more fortunate here at home w ill have to spend part of their time in the var ious laboratories of the campus mak ing up their experiments that they have become- wayward in. Many will eat a real dinner at home with the largest turkey in the barnyard as the victim of the feast of the homecoming son. Those whose homes are near enough to allow the trip will go home and have a very good time and feel a certain sense of relief as they think that for the rest of the week be con ference with Dean Engberg is out of their view. Many of the students w ill be in the city and will have to look forward to the next vacation that is drawing very near and will content themselves with the one thought that Xmas is only three weeks off and then they may go home for a long time. SIODEtlTSTO ELECT BOARD MAKES CHANGE IN MAN. NER OF CHOOSING EDITORS. TO ELECT EDITORIAL STAFF Board Reserves Right to Nullify Elec tion Salary to be Increased if Condition of Paper Permtis, Beginning with next semester the members of the editorial staff of the "Daily Xebraskan" shall be elected by the subscribers instead of being ap pointed by the Student Publication Board as has been the custom here tofore. This measure, together with several others of importance to the "Nebraskan and its readers was passed by the Board at their meeting Monday night. There has often been criti cism made of the appointments of the Board, and the Board "passed this measure to place the matter, more into the hands of the students and give thera the power to elect the ones they think best To mitigate the possibility of the plan working out to ill advant age, an amendment is added to the clause which states ' that candidates so elected must be ratified by the Board, and in extreme cases, the Board may nullify their election. There is a clause which also states that the Man aging Editor must have served at least one year upon the paper or have had the equivalent of such service else where. In addition to the change adopted in the mode of electing members of the editorial staff, the salary of the Man aging Editor was raised to equal that of the Editor-in-Chief, and it is added that if the financial condition of the paper justifies it, the editorial fund shall be increased to $250 a semester by February 1, 1915. Following are the minutes of the meeting relative to changes on the Nebraskan: (1) The position of Editor in Chief, Managing Editor, First and Second As sociate Editors, shall be regularly filled by election by the Nebraskan subscribers. Candidates for office of Managing Editor must have served creditably at least one year on the paper or shall have had the equivalent of such service elsewhere. (2) Candidates so elected will be normally ratified by the Student Publi cation Board upon showing their eligi bility, the board, however, for extraor dinary reasons, may nullify the elec tion and in such cases as failure of eligibility or cases of resignation, it will fill the vacancies at its discretion.

DAVIS COMMENTS ON BUYING OF THEMES States That Students May Buy Them, But Not Hand Them In Guilty Will Be Punished. Professor Davis of the rhetoric de partment says that if it was possible the students should buy their themes. He states that if this would be done that the student would more than get his two dollars and fifty cents back in the enjoyment of seeing some one else write the themes. These themes, however, must be destroyed and not handed in, for if they are detected as they often are the guilty miscreant will suffer the severest penalty. Professor Davis also said that it was of more satisfaction to the indi vidual to have low grades and come by them honestly than it was to have high grades and to come by them dis honestly.

FINAL SCORE WAS 14 TO 0 Herb Reese Makes Both Touchdowns for the Seniors Seven Meyer Suffers a Broken Nose Stars on Both Sides. By H. 1. Kyle. This is the story of the first inter class gridiron struggle. It is a weird tale and I shall not feel offended if some there be who, not knowing me, and not having seen the contest, will doubt the accuracy of my account. I shall not grieve. Coach K. C. Fouts, who tutored the Senior machine, put the following line up in the field: Seniors. Junior. Charlesworth. . . r. e. ....'. Taylor Watkins r. t. Fouts Harley r. g. Burritt Keifer c Holcomb Weber 1. g Wilson Bowman 1. L De Wiese Southwick q. b. Bowman (Dave) Reese r. h , . Stone Meyer... .1. h- Israel Mapes ......... f. b Talbot It must not be understood that Coach Fouts put the Junior line-up In the field also. Oh, no! Quite the con trary, in fact. The Juniors put them selves in the field, and there were times when It looked as though they might put Coach Fouts' line-up off the field. After a short preliminary warming up, the respective teams assumed an aggressive attitude toward each other, one side kicked off, someone on the other side caught the ball, and the game was on. For the next ten min utes the play was fast and furious not so awful fast at times, perhaps, but always furious. Israel and Hol comb each pulled off a long run in the first period, but it availed them naught. Nothing in the nature of a score ma terialized for either side. !n the second quarter, however.
