Approximately fOO well-known citizens and their Jrives or friends attended. The ban quet was preceded by a reception which enabled old friends to get to fether and recall days gone by.

Mr. Wattles was followed by Henry D- Estabrook, who announced as his subject the present day question of "National Defense." Mr. Estabrook declared in opening that "If war is toll, neutrality isn't exactly Heaven e have found it." He says. "Amer i"a has more than physical posses sions to defend.

Barker's illustrated lecture on "Ad vantages of the Medical Man in ihf East." This was followed by an oyster stew and a talk by Dr. J. M.

He illustrated by lantern slides the different form of the diseases in India. Africa, and China. He showed the hospitals in those places and told how one man handled in a year what two to four thousand doctors have in this country in one year. The conditions in India were first spoken of. Dr. Barker showed pic ture's of the new modern hospitals they had there, but that there was not enough of them. When the doctor comes to a colony of these people they send out word to the surround ing tribes and they bring in their sick. These people are affected with dis eases, some that are unknown in America; some that are well known all over. For example one doc-tor crated 1.112 case of cataract in one .. ft,, A a linro year.. The nieaicai man roaf.. at sviihilis. tropical ulcers, sleeping sickness and an unlimited practice in maternal cases. , Th Fnrnnean doctors are teaching these natives the are of medicine and nursing. Harvard and Yale have Fmall medical colleges in some nf these countries. The natives today be lieve in the medical witches and their superstitions are very hard to over come. (Continued on page 3) It is the aim of the Cornhusker staff this year to get the picture of every Junior and Senior. How fully this ideal is to be realized is up to the student body. Th staff cannot force anvone to have their picture taken land has no desire to. However, the 'staff is working its hardest to make the book cover every department of University life, and this certainly in cludes all the Seniors and Juniors. Yon want to find the picture of every uppen lassman in your Cornhusker, so whv not do your part by urging every ! Junior and Senior you know to have their pictures taken right away.

NEBRASKA TO LOSE GUY GHAMBERLII1 BENDER'S MOVE BRINGS DAMAG ING FACTS TO LIGHT NO HOPE FOR HIS ELIGIBILITY Record in Wesleyan Registrar's Office Conclusive .Evidence Undergrad uates Pay Compliments to Coach Bender Recognize Temple High ti.. T.mnli. Heh school has been recognized as an institute- 01 mem by the University of Illinois through a letter recently received by Super intendent Taylor, asking for a copy of their course of study and any other printed matter pertaining to iL The University of Illinois Is planning a course of study for their University high echool, which is to be opened at Urbana about the middle of next year. Johnnie Bender has in a week done more harm to his alma mater than he did good in three years of brilliant service he has been the means of pre venting a better man that he himself ever was from playing another year of football for Nebraska, and that at a time when she needs him most. Ben de's "evidence" has proven just as damaging as he could possibly have desired. Chamberlin cannot possibly be declared eligible next fall. The Nebraskan yesterday looked up his record in the Wesleyan registrar's office and found that Chamberlin came to the-Mcthodist school in 1911, bring ing the full thirty-two points from his home high school at Blue Springs. He registered as a Freshman in the fall of 1911 and returned as a Sophomore the next year. Under the Missouri valley conference rules, the fact that he spent two years as a collegian and Dlayed on the varsity botS years makes bim eligible but for two years of intercollegiate athletics. The undergraduate body was not slow to say yesterday that the ex treme form of loyalty shown by Ben der has been highly enough appre ciated to make Us one desire a chance to return the favor with Interest. Every Cornhusker who saw the big boy win games for his school in a way which may never be duplicated. on Nebraska field cannot help but feel a little bitter toward the man wlio did the trick. Bender has .not yet been heard from; It Is probable that he will fortify himself with the assertion that he was merely trying to get at thetruth. which must be deemed good enough to turn aside any comeback Nebraska adherents may have. (Continued on page 4) PURPOSE IS RESEARCH WORK Legislators Are Given Every Possible Assistance in the Work of Draft in Bills Course Offered in Practical Legislation The Nebraska Legislative Reference Bureau, with offices and library in University Hall, Room, 206, is a state department, placed by legislative act under the board of regents of the Uni versity. The purpose of the depart ment, according to legislative act of 1911, is "to carry on research in sub jects of special public interest, to pub lish the same and in every way to promote the diffusion of accurate and reliable information upon questions connected with the development of civic life in Nebraska." In a broad way, the reference bu reau is at the service of the state at large, furnishing aid to any who seek infirmation relating to Nebraska, whether it be a high school debating society, a woman's club, an official in the state or a private citizen. In a more specific way, the reference bu reau co-operates with the legislature and with the University. During the legislature, temporary quarters are provided at the state house, and there, throughout the ses sion, legislators are given every pos sible assistance in their duties as law makers. Bills are drafted for them, briefs and arguments furnished on all sides of any question which interests a member of the legislature. In this connection may be mention ed the University classes conducted by Mr. A. E. Sheldon, director of the reference bureau, for it is his large body of students in "Practical Legisla tion" (Pol. Sci. 33) who make it pos sible for .him to furnish the legisla tors upon short notice, a great quan tity of facts ina wide variety of sub jects. Most of the students in this course are law students and the serv ice they render gives them valuable practical experience and University credit, while, the state, on the other hand, is furnished without charge, a large staff of workers. In addition to this class in practical legislation. Mr. Sheldon gives other courses in politi cal science. University research in Nebraska, history and kindred sub jects are chiefly under his direction. In the matter of publications, there is a very close relation between state and the University, with the reference bureau as the connect;'.:;; link. In the first place, the paMir 1 tions of the reference burea'.i ar of assistance to the students in vario-.i courses, particularly to those rcsl i - -ed for law and political science.
