UNDERCLASSES TO
HOLD MEETING
FRESHMEN , AND SOPHOMORES
HOLD MEETINGS THURSDAY
Minor Class Officers to Be Elected
Plans on Way for Annual
Olympics Battles
Following the lead of the juniors,
the freshman and sophomore classes
will hold organization meetings. Pres
ident Riley of the former and Presi
dent Harnsberger of the latter, have
called meetings of their classes for
Thursday morning, when the minor
officers of the classes will be elected.
The freshmen will meet in Memorial
hall at 11:30, immediately after convo
cation hour. This class has the larg
est number registered in the Univer
sity, and should have a meeting at
tended by not less than 500. In addi
tion to having the election, it is prob
able that the freshmen will want to
talk over tLe Olympics problem, as
President Riley has appointed his
committees and they are already at
work.
The sophomores will also meet to
discuss Olympics, in addition to elect
ing their vice-president, secretary,
treasurer and sergeant-at-arms. Pres
ident Harnsberger h&s not yet an
nounced his committees, as he is hav
ing the registrar check the eligibility
of the members, but the complete list
will probably appear in next Tuesday's
Daily Nebraskan.
The sophomore meeting will be held
in Law 101 at 11 o'clock.
Dean R. A. Lyman of the college of
pharmacy, received a request yester
day from Dr. E. L. Newcombe for an
article on the care of the Nebraska
drug plant garden and some pictures
of tho various growths. , . '
Dr. Newcombe is in charge of the
development of the University of
Michigan's drug plant garden and
wants some of the ideas used at Ne
braska. The article is to be published
in the Northwestern Druggist, the
leading druggist journal of this sec
tion. RQSEWBLEJE
Student Body Guard
President Ganj within the next day
or two will name a committee to act
as a body guard for Mr. Hughes while
he is in the city. This committee also
will be composed of students who are
members of the Hughes and Fairbanks
club.
Mr. Hughes will speak in the Lin
coln auditorium Saturday evening. He
has already done considerable cam
paigning in his race for the presiden
cy, and his appearance in Nebraska
will focus the political eyes of the na
tion for a time on this state, especial
ly because Woodrow Wilson, Mr.
Hughes' democratic opponent, was
here only last week.
It is almost certain that Mr. Hughes
will make no attempt to address the
students as a body, although he was
invited to do so by a mass meeting,
the invitation having been extended
through Chancellor Avery. His time
of coming to Lincoln is not good from
the standpoint of getting the Univer
sity students together, while at the
same time his appearance on a Satur
day evening will mean that the stu
dents will have an unusually good op
portunity to hear him speak and give
his side of the political questions be
fore the nation.

uled for Saturday evening, October

COMMITTEE NAMED
Augustine Heads Olympics Committee
Boyd Hop Chairman, Best Master
of Ceremonies
President Riley of the freshman
class yesterday evening announced his
complete committee appointments. He
is the first of the newly elected presi
dents to complete his list a fact not
hard to understand when it is consid
ered that he has but two committees
to appoint
Tho Olympics committee, that will
have the task of defending the honor
of the class In the annual battle with
the sophomores, will be headed by Ir
ving Augustine of Grand Island. . The
four members named beside the chair

well. The chairman of the dance commit
tee is James Boyd, and the master of
ceremonies Russell Best. Four other
dance committeemen named were Earl
Colton, Marjorie Hesseltine, Ruth
Farquhar and Mable Clark.
We only hope that Dobie will read
the optimistic stories about football in
The Daily of yesterday and cheer up.
The fact that California is looking for
ward to a trimming from Washington
ought to cheer him up for a few min
utes. Exchange.

CORNHUSKER FEAST
DECEMBER EIGHTH
MEN'S BANQUET AND GIRLS' COS
TUME PARTY SCHEDULED
Promise of a. Victorious Football Team
Indicates the Biggest Banquet in
the School's History
The annual Cornhusker banquet and
the girls' costume party will be held
Friday evening, December , the for
mer down town, the latter in the Uni
versity Armory.
The showing made by the football
team in the game last 'Saturday, in
spite of the "bear dope" that had been
so freely dispensed in advance of the
game, has convinced the varsity rooter
that the team this year is going to
make another splendid record, wheth
er or not every game is added to the
won column.
Victorious Team
The presence of a victorious team at
the banquet, the return of alumni who
have been prominent in the past to do
honor to the gridiron heroes, the fac
ulty, the freshmen, the sons, the pep,
the yells, the what-not that has made
the Cornhusker banquet the big thing
of the football post-season, are caus
ing the men to lick their chops al
ready in anticipation of the pleasures
of the feast
The girls are not behind in counting
on a joy-festival. Some of the organi
zations are already figuring out com
binations that will put the Kappa
chain gang 'Into the discard, and some
of the brothers around the school have
already noted the disappearance of
bits of masculine attire. .
December 8 promises to be another
big University night.

the members of the board of regents
save Mr. Lyford, left last night for an
inspection trip of the various experi
ment and Bub-stations, including the
Curtis agricultural school.

$234 TURNED IN
M TAG DAY
INCOMPLETE REPORT SHOWS CO
EDS CONTRIBUTED $52
Men Sold 182 Band Dance Tickets
- Down Town Girls Selling Campus
Tickets Have Not Reported
Fifty-two dollars given by the girls
in nickles, pennies and dimes, and
$182 gleaned by the men who sold
band dance tickets down town, is the
result of yesterday's tag day accord
ing to the very incomplete reports
turned into the student activities office
yesterday evening.
T, A. Williams, agent of student
activities, who checked in the money,
declared that not more than half of
the students had reported. None of
the girls who were, selling tickets to
the dance had checked in, and their
amount is expected to swell the total
very considerably.
Cordial Reception
The girls who tagged the co-eds re
ported that they met with a very cor
dial reception, and that the fair half
of the student body had displayed all
of the zeal that could be expected.
Reports from some of those who
asked the men to take tickets were
not so encouraging, and it was said
that at the agricultural. college some
difficulty had been met in convincing
the men that they should take dance
tickets.
This condition is expected to be
changed, if it exists at all, by the en
thusiasm that the project will arouse
before the end of the week. The com
plete report of yesterday's sales will
add very materially to the amount In
the fund.
chard, secretary-treasurer, and DeWitt
Foster of Kearney, sergeant-at-arms.
The meeting was called to order in
the usual fashion by the newly elected
president, Lloyd Tully, but it did not
remain in order very long. After Carl
Graff had been appointed temporary
secretary, nominations for vice-president
were called for, and Miss Reeder
was proposed.
Great Uproar
It was immediately moved and
seconded that the. nominations be
closed. This precipitated the uproar.
DeWitt Foster was on his feet with a
violent protest, declaring that there
was evidence that the meeting be
packed, and he repeatedly called for
a "square deal" and for the keeping
-pen of the nominations until more
lomlnatlons could be made. ,
Foster was greeted with jeers and;

night. Everyone who wants to play
the game is expected out. Everyonb
who comes out will be given a place
on some team.
There will be teams of all sizes and
kinds. A team for each department,
a team for each military company, a
team for freshmen and a team for the
varsity . All who have ever Been a
game or heard of a game or played a
game of basketball ought to come out
and et on some team.
Make Sport Broader
The idea in having so many teams is
to make the sport broader in its rela
tion to the student body. Sports in
the University have been accused of
allowing too few people to take part
For this reason Coach Rutherford is
going to take full charge and person
ally conduct the practices of every
team.

CO-OPERATIVE BUYING
BEFORE FRATERNITIES
INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL TO
DISCUS8 PLANS TONIGHT
Saving of 25 to 30 Per Cent Thought
Possible Alumni Support
Project
Two plans embodying co-operative
buying for fraternities will be dis
cussed at a meeting of the lnterfra-
ternity council at the Kappa Sigma
house this evening.
One of the proposed remedies for
the high cost of living which, it is
hoped, will save the fraternities from
25 to 30 per cent on groceries and fuel,
is similar to the co-operative store
plan. The other calls for buying di
rect The discussion will be led by a com
mittee composed of Edward Pettis,
Kappa Sigma, of the Lincoln Safe De
posit company; Ray Doyle, Phi Delta
Theta, and John B. Stoddard, Beta
Theta PL
The co-operative Idea has the sup
port of prominent alumni as well as
officers of the council. Prof. P. M.
Buck yesterday pronounced the plan
feasible and said that the chances for
its adoption were good.
Miss Henrietta M. Brock is giving
an evening class in china painting for

Tl
There will be regular schedules and
regular times of practice. A captain
j will' be picked from the candidates
who appear for the various teams.
' Captain Campbell of the varsity will
look after candidates for the freshman
and varsity teams until the other
' teams get started. There are several
positions open on the varsity this
year and they will be rather hard to
fill unless some material which was
not known, last year turns out
s Expect 500 Out
Rutherford expects five hundred men
out for basketball this year, and guar
antees that despite the lack of gymnaa.
ium facilities all will be taken care of.
The first practice .will be held to
night in the Armory at 7:30. The reg
ular schedule of practices will be as
follows: From 7:30 to 9:00 on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays, and
from 4 to 5 On Tuesdays and Thurs
days. Incidentally Coach Rutherford an
nounces that he will issue a call for
candidates for class football teams
soon. All who wish to uphold the
honor of their class on the ridlron
should get their old togs out and patch
them up and get ready to respond to
the call.
HUGHES-WILSON
DEBATE COMING
Rival Student Clubs to Clash on Na
tional Issues at Temple Theater
Representatives of the Hughes and
Wilson clubs will meet in debate
Thursday night in the Temple thea
ter to argue national political Issues
for the benefit of the student body.
Chief Justice Morrissey of the Ne
braska supreme court will preside.
The personnel of the two teams has
been changed somewhat since it was
first announced. E. C. Jeffrey, '18,
Lincoln, and L. W. Trester, '19, Lin
coin, will hew away for Hughes, and
C. E. Schofield, '17, Lincoln, and Rob
ert Waring, '17. Geneva, will for Wil
son. The public argument comes as
a result of a challenge made by the
Wilson club to their political oppo
nents last week.
Things have conspired to make the
debate not only timely and interesting,
but rather warm. The issues on which
the battle Is to be fought are general
enough to allow some nicely drawn
distinctions, whteh the four men, all
experienced rostrum speakers, will un
doubtedly bring to light
