motion pictures and also pictures of
the pageant, eats of the most scrump

"I'm off these mixers." one man was
overheard to say. "I don't care to
dance, and I don't see that there is
much sport outside of that."

camping on the trail of this man and
a retraction will be forced after the
close of the entertainment Saturday

Freshmen Out
One of the special purposes of the
first mixer is to induce the Freshmen
to come "out from their seclusive study
halls into the light and meet their
classmen. A university mixer as a
social opportunity will be a revelation
to many of the newcomers and all
are expected to take advantage of it

chestra for dancing and after a dili
gent search has discovered a quartet
which they claim cannot be excelled
on the campus.

Enthusiastic Program Given Meet
Ing Followed by Refreshments
and Dancing
Good spirit, enthusiasm and an en
tertaing program made the Girls club
party, in honor of the Freshmen girls,
Saturday afternoon at the Temple, a
decided success. '
The girls gathered firtt in the Tem
ple theatre, where they were greeted
by Edna Froyd, president of the Girls'
club. A sketch, "The Freshman's
Dream," followed, which representee!
all the girls' activities in University
life. The first act showed two Fresh
man girls in their room studying
They got into a discussion on the ad
visability of joining all of the differ
ent school organizations. One was in
favor of joining the different clubs;
the other thought it unwise. The cur
tain falls at the highest point of dis
cussion. Act II shows the girls
asleep. To the one who is opposed to
school activities, a vision appears pic
turing members of the different school
organizations. The Girls' - club . girl
tells why she should become interested
in their worknext the Y. M. C. A
girl appears, and following her comes
the athletic girl, tlie Daily Nebraskvi
reporter, the sorority girl, the Palla
dian and Union society members, girls
interested in charities and music and
representatives of Mystic Fish. Xi Del
ta, Silver Serpent and Black Masque.
In Act III. the girl awakens con
vinced of the worthiness of girls' or
ganizations and puts a fitting climax
to the part by saying: "WelL I guess
111 Join some of the clubs around
school. It's worth while, and I'll miss
something if I don't."
The program was closed by every
one singing "Nebraska." The girh?

ties in Pharmacy." It was decided to

POLITICAL NEWS
GROWING WARMER
ELECTION NOW BUT EIGHT DAYS
AWAY
WILL BE NO FRAT BARB ISSUE
Sophomores as Yet Unannounced
Possibility" for a Girl Candidate
Upper Class Situation Still
Unchanged
With election day only eight days off,
there still seems to be as little com
motion in the political cauldron as
when school commenced. The Sopho
more politicians are getting rather ner
vous and fidgety which would Indi
cate important developments sometime
Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
In the Freshman class, no one has been
able to persuade a candidate to an
nounce himself. In the upper classes,
the situation remains unchanged.
Vincent C. George, of Sumner, is so
far, the only candidate In the Senior
class. In fact, in his mind, he is al
ready wielding the gavel, so clear are
the political skies. In the Junior
class, the race for presidential honors
will be one between Virgil Haggart of
St. Paul, and Ira D. Benyon, of Wy
more, as announced in Friday's Nebras
kan.
The race has narrowed itself down to
one in which the popularity of the two
candidates will be the determining fac
tor. Of course, . there are those on
both sides who are trying to inject the
"barb-frat Issue, but the more level
headed on both sides are trying to
avoid this. Both candidates seem to
be in earnest in making a clean cam
paign. Just what ails the lower classmen is
something beyond the ken of all the
political doctors. It is hard to believe
that the Sophomores and Freshmen
have become so retiring as it appears.
There has been some talk of feminine
candidates offering themselves to the
common good. Such a thing would not
indeed be without precedent Unless
the members of the sterner sex bestir
themselves a little, it is quite prob
able that some of the "fair ones" will
toss their bonnets "in the ring." -
Miss Catherine Apperson, of Lincoln,
who graduated last spring with Phi
Beta Kappa honors is now carrying
fourteen hours post-graduate work in
the University.
LAW ENROLLMENT LIGHT
Decrease of Ten Per Cent from Last
Year's Registration Freshman
Class Larger
The enrollment, in the Law college
will be lighter than last year, accord
ing to Dean Hastings, although on ac
curate numbers can be given, as all
registration slips have not been hand
ed in. Last year the total number of
students in the Law college was 1S8.
There were 55 third year men. 3 sec
ond year men, 66 first year men and
14 specials.
Dean Hastings says it is his opinion
that the second year class enrollment
will be 8 or 9 per cent less than last
year; the third year, class possibly
10 or 12 below. The Freshman law
class, however, will be larger than its
predecessor. The total enrollment,
from present indications, will be 10
or 12 less than the total last year.
SMOKER A SUCCESS
Farm House Entertained Students and
Faculty Dean Burnett Present
and Gave Short Address
The initial social rvent of the Col
lege of Agriculture was pulled oft on
Friday evening in the form of a smok
er, at which the Farm House enter
tained about a hundred students and
faculty members of that college. As
a reception to the new students, and
as a general get-together meeting, it
was an unqualified success.
As was hoped, the Freshmen were
very much in evidence, and each one
of them was given an opportunity to
display his ability in the field of ora
tory or music.
In addition to the customary stunts
the program included a number of lit
teresting and helpful short talks by
Dean Burnett and other members of
the faculty.
G. L. Bush, president of the Agri
cultural club, outlined briefly, the pro
posed activities of that organization
for furthering the interests of the club
and the college.
NOT KNOWN AT UNIVERSITY
Information Concerning Kennedy Lack
ing Passed Forged
Checks
iA youth giving the name of Nelson
Kennedy, 631 South Elevesth street,
was taken to the police station Thurs
day evening. Chief Antles said Ken
nedy confessed that he had written
three checks, for a total amount of
$18.50, and cashed each at Mayer
Bros, store.
Kennedy gave his occupation as
that of a student. A class schedule
found in his pocket indicated that he
has been attending the University of
Nebraska. Among his other effects
were an uncashed check for 57, made
out in favor of the Paris confectionery
store by William S. Delano on the
Arcadia State bank, and a letter from
his mother, pleading with him to at
tend to business and announcing that
she would buy no more clothes for
herself until after his debts had been
paid. He was arrested at the home
of a young woman with whom fche has
been keeping company.
The Registrar however could give
no information in regaTd to the mat
ter, there being no one registered by
the name the accused gave the police.
FOREIGN LOAN CUT DOWN
American Bankers Dictate Raise
Made From Vz to 5 Per Cent en
Interest Rate
New York, Sept 23 Troublesome
details have yet to be adjusted and
minof matters smoothed out before
Lord Reading, representing Great
Britain and France, and J. P. Morgan
and his associates, representing the
financiers of America, sign articles of
agreement consummating the negotia
tions looking to the establishment here
of a big Anglo-French credit loan.
The representatives of Great Britain
and France, it was 6aid on excellent
authority, have been told that the
maximum amount they can get is
$500,000,000. Sir Edward Holden, rep
resenting the joint stock banks of
London, was reported to have stood
firmly on the ground that the commis

billion dollars and that the maximum
interest rate would not exceed 5 per
cent. , ,. ,,

CORNHUSKER LINE
POUNDED INTO SHAPE
FRIDAY PRELIMINARY PRACTICE
SATURDAY SCRIMMAGE
STIEHM IS SIFTING MATERIAL
Varsity Eleven Battles With Fresh
men Team in a Drizzling Rain
Team Bears the Sump
of Victory
Coach Stiehm put his warriors
through a relentless drilling Friday
when the entire afternoon was spent
in running signals and dodging and
tackling practice. The material was
given a general trying out and it is
expected that a line up for the initial
game Saturday, October 2. will be an
nounced soon.
Competition runs high for the posi
tions of quarterback and end. For
the former position, Caley and Cook
are competing: candidates and it is
likely ihat each will be given a chance
to show his generalship in the game
with the Drake Bulldogs Saturday. For
the wing positions, Balis, Hoadley,
Rasmussen and Riddell are competing
and whoever is finally chosen for the
two coveted positions, the places will
be a factor to be reckoned with by
Nebraska's opponents.
Although working in the rain, the
ardor of the Cornhuskers was not
dampened Saturday, when the Fresh
men clashed with the regulars and
see-sawed the pigskin back and forth
across the field at Capital Beach.
After the preliminary practice of
Friday and the scrimmage work of
Saturday, the Cornhusker line begins
to take definite shape, and with
Chamberlain back in place this week,
the Husker team which enters the
field Saturday to do battle with the
confident Bulldogs will bear the stamp
of the victorious 1914 team.

this meeting they will receive the
report of the Pan-Hel dance commit
tee and also discuss other matters
along the lines of incomplete regis
