ORGANIZATION OF FRESHMEN STARTS BIG RALLY FOR THE ENTIRE CLASS ON TUESDAY GIRL'S WILL MEET IN TEMPLE Chancellor Avery Will Speak to the Men Dean Graham Urges that the Girls Also Take Part - Other Features Next Tuesday is the appointed day for beginning Freshmen organization. After several consultations and argu ments the committee in charge has arranged for a big Freshmen Rally at 11 o'clock. The girls will meet in the Temple theatre, and the boys in Me morial ball. All Freshmen are not -only invited to attend these meetings, but are also urged, so that it is almost compul sory. The general purpose of coming together is for the organization of the new men and women. The Olympics and class elections are coming on, and it is highly important that the different members of the class get ac quainted with each other. Prominent Speakers Chancellor Samuel Avery, Dr. Geo, Condra, Captain Dick Rutherford and MhPi- rnmnus "stars will speak at the mens' meeting. The com mittee has also prepared a few other features which give promise of mak in this Rally very entertaining. The girls convocation is being ar raneed and planned by the Black Masque, an organization of Senior girls. Their program will be arinoun ced in a later issue. Politicians Busy A reporter from the Nebraskan has it straight from the committee of Freshmen that the candidates for the office of president of the class will be on the platform during the Rally to give the voters on apportunlty to acauire some first impressions. Not onjy has the Freshman class of this year increased its numbers, but there also seems to be a super-abundance of political Caesars. With the elec tioms not far distant, great activity in this line is. predicted for the next few weeks. Dean Graham Wants Girls Present In an interview with Miss Mary Graham Dean of Women, last night she requested the Nebraskan to urge the girls to be present. "I am afraid that you will over emphasize the boy side of it and will not Impress sufficiently the import ance of this meeting upon the girls Their organization in class Is Just as important as tke men and we want them all to be at the Templo next Tuesday at 11 o'clock. In fact, if you are not pretty careful we are going to have more girls out than you do boys." The committee arranging the pro gram for the men has taken this as a challenge and they are going to exert every effort not to be outdone. Rutherford Wants Green Caps "I am strong for this movement to organize the Freshmen, and the soon er we get at it the better. I want to see every one of those Freshmen wearing his green cap. Let's have all those caps out on the Campus" UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, MRS.

DINNER CHOSEN GREATEST CITIZEN HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY PICKED A FRIEND OF THE FARMERS He Served the University Twenty- Seven Years Author of Many - Books and Papers on Insects and Birds - Last summer when an especially ap pointed committee was wrestling with the vexing problem of naming the greatest living Nebraskan, the public gaze was turned once more to the Uni versity of Nebraska, for the choice of that committee was none other than our own Prof. Lawrence Bruner, head of the Department of Entomology. Judging from -the endless discus PROF. LAURENCE BRUNER sions which arise from trying to pick tha Greatest livine statesman, the greatest scientist, or the greatest American, we should say that this was another Gordian knot. But he commit tee didn't seem to think so. It took only three ballots for the committee to solve this problem. Of course, there were, those that though tthat our friend, William Jennings Bryan, should have had the honor. For fear of incurring the animosity of either side, we will simply say that Nebras ka has an unlimited supply of really great men that can compare favorably with any in Uncle Samuel s dominions. Prof. Bruner was born at Catasqua, Pa., March 2, 1856. But to be real ear nest why not call him a full-fledged Nebraskan. for, having heard of what a wonderful state Nebraska was des tined to be, he came here when he was onlv two months old. He received his collegiate education at the Uni versity of Nebraska. In 1880, he was made assistant in the United States Entomological Commission; field agent of the Department of Agriculture In 1888, and from 1890-1900, entmologist of the Nebraska Agricultural Experi ment Station.- He has now served the University of Nebraska twenty-seven years. In 1897-1898, he was on leave of absence in Argentina, having been called there to stop the grasshopper plague. Prof. Bnlner Is unassuming and stu dious. At the time he was notinea by the chairman of the committee as SEPTEMBER 24, 1915. DIRECTORY OUT 80ON Being Edited by the University Y. M. C. A.

DEAN FORDYCE IN MINNESOTA Enjoyed a Fishing Trip on the Lakes Taught at the University of Kansas Dean Fordyce enjoyed a two weeks' fishing trip among the Minnesota lakes just previous to the opening of the fall term of school. He refuses to give an estimate of the size or number of fish caught, probably be cause of the enormity of both. . The first part of the summer he spent teaching in the summer school at the University of Nebraska, going at the close of the session to the University of Kansas, where he gave a course in Educational Measure ments throughout the second 'term of the summer quarter.

ABBOTT BACK IN SUIHESTERDAY BUT CHAMBERLAIN DID NOT AP PEAR; COMES TODAY BULLDOGS HAVE AMBITIONS Drake, Like South Dakota, Sees Light Lively Practice Session on Ne , braska Field Huskers Strong at Wings Only the Varsity squad held forth on Nebraska field yesterday afternoon. The entire practice time, save for a few preliminary sieges at tackling, was put into signal drill. In the Varsity line, "Mother" Abbott, late returned went through his guard maneuvers in old-time style. The backfield was minus the pres ence of Chamberlain, whose appear-' ance was postponed until today. Gardi ner filled the right half position throughout the signal drill. Coach Stiehm is beginning active preparations for receiving the Drake Bulldogs a week from tomorrow. It is a long time since the CornhHsker eleven has succeeded in scheduling a really practice game for opening the season's festivities. It is the ambition of the valley school to beat Nebraska, and in the case of a small school like Drake, the earlier the game comes in the season, the better the chance to realize their ambition. This season, Coach Grif fith seems to stand a better chance Of acomplishing this feat that Husker supporters like to admit. With prac tically all of his old material back, and a wealth of material from the 1914 freshmen more than a match for the Bulldog regulars last fall the Drake coach commenced preparations for the reckoning 'way last spring, and has kept it up ever since. Coach Stiehm spent some time yes terday in trying out new formations which will be the basis of attack dur ing the campaign. With Johnny Cook at quarter, Rutherford and Gardiner at halfs, Otoupalik at full, Habler sleben at center, Abbott and Donegan at guards. Shields and Corey at tack les, and Rasmussen and RIddell at ends, the Varsity ran through the for mations in creditable style. The shift of Shields to tackle has proven a sur prise. The former guard is playing w!th a skill and pep which he did not show last fall, and he has proven emi nently successful at both breaking through on the defense and lugging the ball ifi the attack. At the wing positions whoever may finaly occupy them Nebraska will be stronger than she has been since the days of "Rabbit" Chauner and Lof gren. Chamberlain is the last word at defensive end, while any of the four huskies trying for the places Riddell, Balis, Rasmussen and Hoadley, aro capable of holding their positiona against all comers. Girls' Tennis . Arrangements have been made with Mr. Guy Reed by which girls may use one of the University tennis courts, or two, if no game is in progress. Ar range for hours on the bulletin board In the Armory. Four may play each hour. Plans are being made for a tournament, announcement of which will be made later.
