The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Join
In Making Arrangements Form
of Amusement to Be Styled
a "Holiday Fete"
"Holiday Fete" is the name given
to the All University Christmas party,
now finally planned by the social com
mittee of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y.
W. C. A. The major entertainment of
the evening is suggested by the above
appellation, but more elucidative in
formation will be forthcoming on post
ers and through other medians. Both
the first and second floors of the Tern
- pie building have been procured for
the several amusements, and things
look now as if the program was diver
sified and novel enough to attract
every element in the entire student
body.
Ever since the Mixer was inaugu
rated at the University of Nebraska,
it has been strikingly evident either,
' that about one-third of those attend
ing that event don't care to dance, or
that if they do, their acquaintance
among the dancing constituency has
been very limited or their own ability
?to dance practically nil. At any rate,
jthere unquestionably exists a large
'number attending the University who
wouldn't "rather dance than eat," but
,who wpuld enter into other kinds of
amusement "with a vengeance." And
at the same time, there are those who
simply love to dance, who, if the
proper amount of "something differ
ent" werts offered them, would pick it
up in a minute and be pleased with
the change.
The cabinets of the Christian Asso
ciations decided in a Joint business
session that an all inclusive non-dancing
function . was easily within the
realm of possibility. At least, strong
committees were appointed and as a
result "Holiday Fete" is rapidily ma
terializing. Initiated Into. Palladian
Many Freshmen, Sophomores and
upper classmen were Initiated into the
Palladian Literary society, Saturday
night. By preference of the members
a great part of the ceremony was of
a serious nature, but much amuse
ment was occasioned by a generous
amount of mock initiation.
The meeting should ordinarily have
been held Friday night, but was post
poned on account of the Cornhusker
banquet and Girls' party.

MUCH FUN AT GIRLS' PARTY
Five Hundred Co-Eds Celebrate Foot
ball Game Feature of the Eve
ning's Entertainment
Five hundred co-eds celebrated the
close of the third all-victorious foot
ball season Friday evening, with a
costume party in the Armory. More
girls in attendance, fancier costumes,
ranging from the Gold Dust twins to
fairies and nymphs; and from "new
sies" to George Washington, clever
Btunts, including a football game be
tween Harvard and Nebraska, the
presence of campus notable, such as
Coach Stiehm and Dean Engberg, and
above all an abundance of real Ne
braska spirit made the girls' Corn
husker party this year the most suc
cessful ever given.
The Girls' club board, with Loretta
Lord as chairman, and members of
the Black Masque were in charge of
all arrangements. Miss Ina Gittings,
wearing a big "star", was official
chaperone, taking the place of Dean
Mary Graham, Miss Mary Clark pre
sided during the program.
The football game between Harvard
and Nebraska, staged by the two
hockey teams, was the big feature of
the evening. With "Eckersall," of Chi
cago,, as referee, Coach Stiehm pacing
the sidelines, Jack Best and the corps
of doctors anxiously watching all the
moves, and the deafening cheers of
the spectators, the game was staged
in a realistic fashion.
The forward pass was worked to
perfection. "Chamberlain" starred in
one of his end runs and "Little Tim
Corey was there with "his educated
toe" to make a drop kick. " The final
score was 66 to 0, all points being
made at one time by everyone of the i
Nebraska eleven making a touchdown
with a concealed football. The Har
vard players were carried off the
field prostrate. Other-features of the
program was a mock wedding, a pic
ture show, an illustrated song.a clr
cus parade and a "hoe-down."
The costumes were varied and in
cluded all nationalities and types. The
Kappa chain gang caused much excite
ment, as did also two husky policemen
and two "firecrackers" that darted
about the crowd and threatened to
"go off" at frequent intervals. There
was no lack of the 'masculine gen
der" and when the time came for danc
ing everyone had a partner. Nothing
In the way of decoration was attempt
ed, but the varl-colored costumes of
the girls made -the big gymnasium
alive with bright colors.
Dancing was the amusement during
the Intermissions In the program. Re
freshments of Ice cream cones and
wafers were served the latter part
of the evening.
HUSKER BANQUET
SHOWS JRUE SPIRIT
CHARACTERIZED BY A LARGE
AMOUNT OF ENTHUSIASM
SHIELDS RECEIVES TELEGRAM
Cabaret Arrived Late Collection
Taken for a Gift for Jack Best
South Omaha Brings Bunch
of Strong Boosters
The Cornhusker banquet was a
great success, as the greatest foot
ball season Nebraska ever had, de
serves. The banquet was character
ized by truly Nebraska "pep" and con
viviality without any "rough stuff."
This banquet will certainly be long
remembered by those who took part
in honoring the greatest team that
our school hase ever produced.
The big ball room of the Lincoln
hotel was the scene of the occasion.
It was filled to overflowing, and this
crowd had truly the Nebraska "pep."
Yells were intermingled with songs,
and at no time during the evening
was the crowd of over 300 Nebraskans
at a standstill. The University Quar
tet ably rendered several selections,
which were received with due appre
ciation. The orchestra's very excel
lent work was manifestly appreciated.
A stone image would have been
brought to life by the way the orches
tra played popular pieces.
Before beginning with the speakers,
it ought to be said that the "feed
was immense." The roast beef from
the South Omaha bunch could not.be
beat. It is no more than right to
Bay that these South Omaha boosters
are among the best friends that the
University has.
Anan Raymond, of Omaha, acted as
toastmaster and handled the position
in a masterful way. His stories, and
telegrams, especially the one to Paul
Shields from the Pi Beta Phi soror
ity, besides his earnest remarks, were
obviously appreciated.
The fondly anticipated cabaret was
announced by the toastmaster to have
missed the train at Omaha, but to be
coming by auto. It was expected to ar
rive at any moment. The anticipation-of
the cabaret became rather a
joke, for jt did not come until 10
o'clock, and proved rather disappoint
ing when it did arrive.
Prof. H. W. Caldwell was the first
sDeaker of the evening. He expressed
his sincere thanks to the
football
team for what they have done for
Nebraska. He said that he had been,

ty-seven years, for five years as a stu-
dent and thirty-two as a professor, and

advancement were among the dearest
hopes of his life. He Bald that he was

they had done to place Nebraska on'ghlp of the east, by having wrested
the map.

Fremont Druggist Here

Mr. Mattoon Is Preparing for a Jay-
hawker Victory Remarkable In
terest Shown
Lawrence, Kan., Dec. 4. The Jay-
hawk is in trouble again. Not con
tent with pestering the Kansas foot
ball team prior to the closing games
of the season, Lady Fortune's daugh
ter, "Mis-fortune," is hard on the
heels of the debating squad in their
preparations for the contest with Ne
braska, December 10. From Business
Manager Harold Mattoon comes the
story of a hospital list almost as long
as the one wont to figure in Coach 01
cott's football plansv Says Mr. Mat
toon: "Three men have been sick during
the last week. One of them has a
black eye sustained in class football
practice. Edward C. Hake, Ennie C.
Whitehead and E. F. Price are the
three men on the sick list. They are
suffering from the grippe, and have
been hindered in their efforts to se
cure material for their arguments.
Clarence Havingshurst annexed a
black eye in football practice last
Monday."
Hope for Revenge
-When questioned concerning the
outcome of the coming debate, Mr.
Mattoon smiled knowingly and said:
"Since our brawn and brain have fail
ed against Nebraska in football, per
haps brain alone will win from them
in debate."
The interest in Kansas is remark
able for a debate, probably because
the student body, like Mr. Mattoon,
are preparing to see a Jayhawker vic
tory. Collect Zoology Books

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ADDRESSED BY VVIEL
PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BANK
OF COMMERCE SPEAKS
DISCUSSES THE RETAIL FIELD
Location of Big Importance In a Man
ufacturing Industry Stock Rais
ing Is Profitable and De
pendable M. Weil, president of the National
Bank of Commerce, addressed the Uni
versity Commercial club Thursday aft
ernoon, when about fifty members
were present.
Mr. Weil's address was an advice to
young men preparing for business. He
advised those who intended to enter
the retail field to exercise care in se
lecting their location; to connect
themselves with ,the heads of the
concerns from which they bought
not the clerks to surround themselves
with needed help andno more to
lay out a definite advertising cam
paign and to decide the very import
ant question of whether to do a cash
or a credit business.
In the manufacturing industry he
pointed out that the choice of a loca
tion was of even more importance
than in the retail business; labor sup
ply, promixity to fuel supply, and
freight rates to prospective markets
were to be considered.
A jobbing concern, the speaker said,
is easier to handle than any other
large business, and stock raising is
more profitable and dependable.
In closing, Mr. Weil dwelt briefly
upon the habits of the young busi
ness man. He spoke against cigarets,
liquor, the double standard and urged
church attendance.
The next meeting of the club will
be at G o'clock Thursday evening in
the dining room of the Windsor ho
tel. A dinner will be served by the
Dutch Mill management.
SENATE CHANGES RULE
Girls May Now Attend Out of Town
Parties Permission, However
Must Be Obtained
The University senate Saturday
morning let down the gates on the
long established rule that women stu
dents of the institution cannot take
nart in out of town entertainments
Mrinir reeular sessions of the Univer-
sity. The new rule provides that they
may take part provided permission is
given by the committee on organiza-
! tions and social functions. It will give
women students an opportunity to

given over the state. The new rule
follows:
"Women students shall take part in
out-of-town performances such as dra
matlc and glee club presentations only
after permission is granted by the
committee on student organizations
and social functions."
The old rule read:
"Women students in the University

formances, such as dramatic and glee
club presentations, elocution recitals,
etc., during the regular sessions of the
University and at other times only aft
er permission is granted by the com
mittee on student organizations and
social functions."
