THETAS HOLD OPEIi HOUSE The Second Event of Its Kind Bids Fair to Become an Annual Event Many Attend A large number of representative students attended the Kappa Alpha Theta open bouse after the football game Saturday.

The purpose of such an open house s to promote good spirit and afford the other students and opportunity to get acquainted with the hostesses.

RECEIVES Ml IMITATION BILL Mr. Sheldon Gets What Appears to Be a (500 Note Is a Political Advertisement Mr. S. P. Hughes, of Howell, has sent to Director A. E. Sheldon of the Legislative Reference Bureau, a paper which appears to be a $500 note on the Bank of Nebraska, but upon a closer examination it proves to be a political hand-bill. The legend upon it Is "Bank of Nebraska will pay on demand at the Slave Pen in Washing ton, $500 for every white or black slave delivered in Nebraska. "(Signed) "STEVE A. DOUBLELASH, Gen. Purse." One side of the bill has caricature of Douglas smoking a large cigar with a glass of whisky in his hand and on the other side is a caricature of President Franklin Pierce. The vig nette In the center represents an enor mous owl holding a streamer In its beak on which are the words: "Ne braskaLand of Liberty." The bill was apparently used by either the Republicans or the Anti- Douglas Democrats In the presidential campaign of 1860 and is the first paper of the sort ever brought to attention in Nebraska. New York. Nov. 21. Phillip J Harrison graduate of the University of Nebraska In the class of 1?04, ana former registrar of that Institu tion, was elected vice president of the Delta Upsilon Greek letter fraternity corporation which governs financially fortv-three chapels In as many Amer ican colleges and universities.

During the last week of September and the first week of October, Nebras ka University was one big question mark. And the question was "Will 'Mother' Abbott and Guy Chamberlain be back this year?" Abbott answered in part by pulling in one day and skinning on his war togs, but Cham berlain stayed on the farm till at last one day when everyone else had given him up, the tall Husker coach turned his rookies over to his assist ants and went out to see the young agriculturist. No one knows, except these two, what the big chief said that day, but result is seen in the defeat of Notre Dame and the tremendous walloping of Kansas and Iowa by the Huskers. Notre Dame had hope of a victory until Chamberlain exploded their hopes with one beautifully executed zig-zag run; Kansas hoped to hold the Huskers to a low score. Ten thou sand Kansans collected to see them do it They had neglected-to figure on the mightly left end the Huskers were using for a pinch hitter. Then Guy Chamberlain the Hawkeyes came and tried to stop him. but he refused to be stopped- Gur Chamberlain plays football with an ease which smacks of perfection.

The events to be pulled off are the pole vault, high Jump, low hur dles and relay race. Track athletes have given over out door work lately on account of the chilly weather, and they will continue their work indoors during the winter. Hold Regimental Review The second regimental review of the year was held last evening on the Athletic' field. The companies showed considerable improvement in marching since the parade of last week. In the first review, Company E maintained the best line, and in the second Com pany G was best. Students Went to Church All-University church day was ob served in Lincoln Sunday. Efforts to get out the University students met with good results. Most of the pastors reported that the number of students at he morning services was noticeably larger than usual, and that the num ber at the evening services was espe cially large. Phi Gamma Delta entertained at a house party Friday evening. The alumni who attended were Clyde Tun- berg, Tekamah; S .F. Holmes, Kansas City; Gam Orin, Council Bluffs; R, T Burdick, Herman, ant. Alan Dudley, Omaha. Dr. R. T. Adams and Mr and Mrs. Don Bell were chaperones. THE THANKSGIVING PROGRAM Annual Program at 11 O'Clock Gov ernor Morehead to Speak Uni versity Chorus Will Sing The annual Thanksgiving program will be given at Convocation this morning, at which time Governor J. H. Morehead will speak and the Uni versity Chorus will sing "Te Deum" by Dudley Buck. It has been the custom for a num ber of years to have a special program Just before the Thanksgiving vaca tion, and those in charge feel that this year they have been especially fortunate in securing such excellent numbers. George L. Sheldon, '92, former gov ernor of Nebraska and now a planta tion owner at Wayside, Miss., arrived in Lincoln Sunday and will remain over Thanksgiving day with friends. Each time he returns to Lincoln his friends remark that he looks more and more like the southern plantation owner of old times. He is now as brown as a nut and that aded to his broad hat and his broad stride, Is more than enough to attract attention. While admitting that he still takes a lot of Interest In politics, Mr. Sheldon declined last evening to comment on any of the things that are uppermost in the minds of Nebraska statesmen. Not even the Nebraska attempt to draw Justice Hughes into the presi dential race was sufficient to elicit a word from the ex-governor. The 8IIver Lynx fraternity enter tained Saturday evening at a dance at the Commercial club. The following were chaperones: Prof, and Mrs. G. W. Rood, Prof. Gorman and Walter Rog ers. Among the alumni members of th fraternity were Robert Finley, William Baumann. Richard Lyman and James McLafferty, of Omaha.
