THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1915 YOUR DIRECTORY Were you one of the first to secure your copy of the Student Directory this morning! The directory is a fine thing to have vrith you for you can never tell when you will want to learn quickly where your friends reside and what their phone numbers are. The big rally today the Olympics Saturday morning and the football game in the afternoon. AN EXPLANATION In the notes of the Slavonic Department published in yesterday's Nebraskan, the title of the pamphlet issued by the Bohemian National Alliance was incorrectly reported. The correct title of the booklet received by the Slavonic Department is "The Attitude of the Czechs with Regard to the Present European TTar." Surely you have heard the girls speak of the special edition of the Nebraskan they are preparing. Perhaps you have some excellent material to offer. SECRERT PRACTICE Just think of it, we will be able to see the results of a week of intensive work by the showing of the team on the gridiron Saturday. Such efforts behind closed gates means something, and every seat in the bleachers will be occupied by those anxious for Nebraska's success. Now for the rally. EXCHANGES It has been left to the representa tive of a small college to make foot ball history this year. Standing sixty three yards from the goal posts last Saturday. Mark Payne, half on the Dakota Wesleyan squad, booted the ball over the bars. He was playing against the - Northern Normals at Aberdeen, S. D. This Is the longest drop kick in football annals. Pat O'Dea, the fa mous Wisconsin end, drop kicked a distance of sixty4wo yards in a game against Northwestern on November 25. 1898. On November SO, 1882, J. T. Haxall of Princeton kicked goal from placement for a distance of sixty-five yards in a game against Tale, The record of sixty -three yards kicked by Payne has been fully substantiated by the ofSclsl? of th game in which Da kota Wesleyan defeated the Aberdeen ians by a score of 20 to 0. Ex. Students In the department of as tronomy will watch the occultation of the planet Uranus by the moon tomor row eveniDg, when the latter will pass directly between the earth and the far distant orb. Despite the fact that the diameter of Uranus is fifteen times that of the earth's satellite. Its distance is so great that when the one passes before the ether, the light of the planet Is completely hidden. "At the time of the occultation Sat urday evening." said Professor S. L. Boothroyd. of. the department of as tronomy this morning, "the moon's distance will be such that an express train making 1,000 miles a day would take eight months to make the jour ney to the satellite. But at the same instant the distance to Uranus will be such that It would take the same train nearly as many milleniums to make the journey to the great planet. "This distant planet Uranus is a curious world, with its remarkable system of moons. Its journey takes more than the alloted three score years and ten. Its axis lies nearly In the plane of the orbit, causing a very peculiar variation of seasons on the planet" Uranus will be completely hidden by the moon for about an hour to morrow evening. The moon will be in occultation with a star later the same evening. Ex. Last night saw a crisis in the his tory of undergraduate life at the Uni versity of Washington safely pass. Though few marked it, there was a moment at the ceremony last night on Denny field when authority and mutiny were held as in a balance, when but a little act might have swung the crowd of first-year men to ward mob rule or towards control. Mob rule lost College jelling took on a new dig nity in the minds of many at the crit ical moment With a gang of fifty sophomores in the offing inviting com bat and challenging the fighting spir it of the first-year men. the freshmen exhibited a quality which la far more admirable than any other in those ; who possess power, the quality of fore ! bearance. The few small spirits In the crowd of spoctators who cried "Get em, fresh," desiring to see blood snea, felt their littleness when they saw the dignity with which the freshmen rose to their feet and drowned class rivalry with the cheers of their alma mater. University of Washington Dally. The Inevitable Advice One of the first tasks which will fall to the lot of many freshmen Is their choice of a fraternity. For the benefit of those who will have the op portunity of becoming members of the Greek letter societies, a few words of admonition do not come amiss. Many a freshman has bound him self to a fraternity under the spell of the glamour which Is so attractive to the uninitiated and has lived to rue the day when, blinded by the lure of mysticism, he narrowed his sphere of friends to a clique and pledged him self to an organization which, in later years, became a burden. The posses sion of puerile secrets, the wearing of a jewelled pin. a knowledge of the grip; this is some of the veneer which so frequently deceives the unsuspect ing freshman. The first year man, especially he who is not thoroughly acquainted with the eighteen fraternities at the university, should use deliberation In his choice, and, before binding him self in any way, should resort to ma turer Judgment: he should consult his dean, inquire of non-fraternity men, ask the advice of those who are both fair-m'nded and Intelligent. The fresh man, before he accepts a bid, must know that there are fraternities and fraternities. One society may be his salvation, another his destruction. Under all circumstances, he must realize that haste Is to be avoided. To rub shoulders with his class mates and to postpone the day when he shall count his friends within the walls of a chapter house. Is the sanest course for the freshman to follow. The time will come when pledging during the autumn quarter will be pro hibited, when the newcomer will be given a chance to get his bearings and not hurried into the act of choosing his companions of four years by snap judgment Meanwhile, let the fresh man keep the buttonhole in his lapel intact until he has arrived at his ultimate decision through deliberate and well-sponsored thought.
