UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLNWEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1916.
PRICE 5 CENTS.
DR. HOTT RETURNS
FROM EUROPE
REPORTS THE INTERNATIONAL
Y. M. C. A. WORK
MANY STUDENTS ENLISTED
11,000 Undergraduate Student of Cam
bridge Are In the British Army
Plea Made for Fundt for
Benevolent Work
Mr. Glen S. Everetts, secretary of
tte University V. M. C. A., has re
ceived several letters from the Inter
national committee of Young Men's
rhristlan Associations, telling of the
great work the World's Students'
Christian Federation has Deen aoing
In warring countries. The students
In these countries are in many cases
destitute and it has been only through
the Federation that they have been
able to keep alive.
Dr. Mott, who has returned from
Europe recently, declares there Is no
organization that has been as great
a help toward peace as this. These
students are either In the great mili
tary hospitals or are in active mili
tary service. Dr. Mott tells that dur
ing the time he was in Paris, where
he was accustomed to find 18,000 male
students in the Latin quarter, he had
4mnH 4n fnitlnr fmir. lift SaVB
UUUVIU " " " " o " - .
in Germany, 50,000 students are In
the army; in Great Britain most of
the boys' schools are closed, 11,000 un
dergraduates from Cambridge univer
sity alone being in the British raray.
He says in Austria, Hungary and
Russia the proportions are nearly as
great Over one-half of the students
In Canada are in the army.
Why can't the American universities
help these students? They can and
they are in many cases. Washburn
college has contributed, as have many
of the other schools. The Federation
is doing its good work all throughout
the east. Why not let the west help
also? This help goes to those who
ere practically destitute. Thousands
of Russian students In Paris and in
8wiss university towns are wholly cut
off from the home supply stations.
Not only could the students help
those that are cut off from home, but
also those who are doing active work
in the war. Why not let Nebraska
help the movement? Every student
should be able to give 25 cents or
more. If Nebraska was to have a
tag day, would the students help to
raise an amount to make Nebraska of
material help to these students, who
have nothing and no chance to make
anything?
In a letter to Dr. Mott, Miss Eliza
beth M. Clark, tells of one case how
"och this help was appreciated. "I
ent.to see a Russian-Polish girl In
nane. She was to come to me,
bt did not, so I went to see her. Her
iplanation for staying away was: I
M ashamed to leave my room. Miss
Clwk a 1 have had no soap to wash
relf with for three days This girl
had so little proper food that she
eat nothing but bread and milk.
Th milk must be heated, but she had
ood alcohol for her lamp, for
rly a week. When I gave her
ney enough for a little cake of
ten rii... - v
; . p kIkhen), a QUart 0f alcohol, and
- uw rubDera, she couia nara-
According to this the students of Ne
braska ought to be able to give enough
to help a great number of these stu
dents, who are in many cases more
destitute than tho poorest of Belgian
and Serbian refugees.
Practice German Play
The big German play, Suderman's
"Das Glueck in Winckel," which is
to be given January 14, is well under
way. The members of the cast as
well as the coach, Miss Heppner, are
rutting forth every possible effort to
make the play a success. The club
orchestra, which will furnish the mu
sic for. the occasion, has already be
gun Its work.

SYMPHONY FOR THURSDAY
A Special Program Has Been Arranged
for Thursday's Convocation Schu
bert's Last Symphony
A fine musical program will be
given at Convocation in Memorial hall
Thursday. It is as follows:
Symphony in C Schubert
Andante Allegro, ma non troppo
Andante con moto
Scherzo
Finale Allegro vivace
Schubert's last and greatest sym
phony, generally known as No. 7, but
sometimes spoken of as No. 10, bears
the date of March. 1828. It had its
first performance in Vienna that same
year and then was forgotten until
Schumann found it nine years later
among a mass of manuscripts and had
the parts copied and sent to Mendels
sohn, who produced it several times
at Gewandhaus concerts during the
year 1839. It was first performed
in the country by the New York Phil
harmonic society in 1851.
The power and depth of this work
was thought to have lifted Schubert's
name almost to the level of Beethoven
and to have Intensified the tragedy of
his early death.
A long and elaborate introduction
in slow tempo precedes the first move
ment, which is finally reached through
. nnwerful crescendo, leading to the
vigorous principal theme and a sec
ond theme more tranquil in siyie, wnu
nf which are worked out elaborately
through the remainder of the move-
ment.
Tii a 1oiuent and plaintive theme
for the oboe In the andante Is con
sidered the most beautiful ana im
rtnt solo for that Instrument in
all orchestral literature, with a charm
at once Irresistible and inaescnoaoie.
m, fHne of repose Is quickly dis
pelled, however, by the Scherzo, an
exuberant declamatory movement.
-r.. mmDosers." writes reiix ixir-
owskl, "would have possessed the re
sources needful for the construct
of a finale which would be climatic
after three such extended and elabor
ate movements as those already heard,
but Schubert's mine of ingenuity was
inexhaustible, and so we find him
producing a fourth movement which is,
in every way, a mighty climax to all
that has gone before."
The finale opens with a vigorous in
troduction, the first two figures of
which form the emphatic rythmical
basis of the entire movement. After
the development of the two themes
the movement is brought to a dramatic
close with a tempestuous coda, re
peating most effectively the-tones with
which the second theme began.
NEBRASKA MEETS WESLEYAN
Opening Game Will Make University
Team Battle Wealeyan Confi
dent of Victory
Saturday night, Nebraska Wesleyan
will send five basketball players and
two or three extras in case of an acci
dent with the intention of dragging
home a victory in basketball, which
could not be won in the gridiron con
test.
They will wear regulation uniforms
bearing the Nebraska Wesleyan colors
and will be accompanied by a fond
group of rooters who are willing to
share the fortunes of war with these
lieht-footed athletes.
Wesleyan, although a comparatively
small school, boasts a basketball team
in the A No. 1 rank and they don't pro-
Dose to let any wooling over by Uni
guards interfere with their basket
oVmnHntr nhlHtV. Coach Stiehm Is
calmly preparing his warriors for the
advancing cavalcade and Saturday
night in the Armory the decision of
the championship of Nebraska will be
awarded. This decision will not be
final since a return game will be play
ed later in the season.
Coach Stiehm Is working his Var
sity men this week on quick and easy
nassinz of the ball. Perfect team
work as the most essential thing to
a good basketball team is the first
ble object which the coach is con
tending with. Wesleyan has shown
up well in the past, and the Unl
men exoect to be kept on their toes
constantly throughout the Initial game
Saturday.

CORNHUSKER OMITS
CERTAIN CHARGES
SECTIONS HERETOFORE PAID FOR
WILL BE ADMITTED GRATIS
THE MILITARY SECTION FREE
There Will Also Be No Charge Made
for Space for the Class Offi
cers, Class Football and
Debating Teams
Reductions have been made in the
sources of income of the 1916 Corn
husker to such an extent that the net
profifof the book will be reduced over
$600.
The reduction of the engraving
charge for Junior and Senior pictures
from ?1.50 to $1 has been known for
Borne time, but the announcement of
the business manager that all the Mil
itary department and the class pic
tures in the School Year section will
be handled free comes as very wel
come news.
. It might seem that such extensive
reductions would impair the quality of
the book, but this is not the case.
In fact, more money is to be used on
almost every department of the book
this year than haa ever been spent
before.
In spite of better paper, better
printing and better binding, the board
of publication desired that mere
should be still further cuts In the net
Drofit to a sum total of about $600 la
order to keep the sinking fund at
about its present size and to decrease
the salaries paid to the editor and the
business manager.
The above reductions were made on .
the recommendation of the editor and
business manager wherever they felt
they were most needed. The policy in
the oast of charging the Military de
partment and not the Athletic depart
ment has always been recognized as
more or less unjust, but seemed ex
pedient In that it was easy to collect
where the burden fell on the under
class men.
While the sale of the book Is to re
main $3 as formerly, it must be re
membered that the actual cost of the
Cornhusker to most every student has
been reduced from 50 cents to $2 and
this reduction where It was needed
most.
