lO PENCIL
No matter what course you're
taking you need this famous
pencil!
BECAUSE ot tne
superlative qual
ity of material and
workmanship, VENUS
is admittedly the finest
pencil It is possible to
make.
If you like a thick
soft lead that marks so
that you can road the
writing hair way across .
' the room, choose the soft de
grees 6B 6B 4B.
For short hand notes or easy
writing 3B 2B B (medium
soft) are popular. '
For sketching, gen
eral writing purposes,
etc., HB F H 2H
(medium) will prove
desirable.
For drafting, a me
dium hard pencil gives
thp hnt results and
you'll like 3H 4H 5H I
6H.
For very thin, narrow lines
for extremely accurate graphical
charts, maps, details, etc., 7H
8H 9H are available.
Look for the distinctive water
mark finish on each of the 17
black degrees and hard and
medium copying.
Your professors will confirm
these statements as to the
merits of VENUS pencils. ,
For sale at the college book
store.

TWO CLUBS FORM
ON DRILL PROBLEM
(Continued from Page One)
Jensen quoted former Governor C.
H. Aldrlchjn opposition to military
training In (he University, and thank
ed God for him. Then he started upon
an argument to show that even with
voluntary drill the University would
not los(' Mm federal funds, but this
part of Ills talk was cut short by the
chairman, who read in the evening
paper, a statement to that effect by
tho chancellor.
Col. Maher Entered
He sat down, and there was. a
momentary pause, when Col. Maher
strode in. He aBked the chairman
if the meeting was to take action
against drill, and Raid he had a few
things he wanted to say. He declined
to be quieted when Sorenson said this
was a meeting of Baptists, and Meth
odists were out of place, and respond
ed to the cries of "Speech," and "Let's
hear him," from the drill sympathizers.
Colonel Maker said first that lie
was proud of every boy at. the meet
ing, and felt sure they all wanted to do
right, but he reminded them of their
youth. Then he launched Into a fiery
talk in favor of preparing every citi
zen -to defend America, if need should
arise, and he earnestly assured them
that if they took the step contem
plated, they would regret it some day.
He asked for the privilege of being
allowed to say a few words if there
was a joint debate on the subject, and
he left the room while three cheers
were given for him by the militarists.
After Colonel Maher left, those who
held views opposed to those who
called the meeting, went to another
part of the hotel, to gird up their
loins for the fray. The men who
catted the meeting had no opposition
from then on, the forty who remained
being in full sympathy, or else mere
Interested observers.
Charles E. Schofleld declared that
this government was founded on a
principle opposed to compulsory mili
tary service, and that the time had
come to take a stand against it in the
University. When he finished a
nominating committtee of Schofleld,
Woods and LUliefors was appointed,
and they withdrew to the lobby.
Rep. Norton Called On
While they were gone, Represnita
tive J. M. Norton, an alumnus of the
University, was railed upon. TTe ex
pressed his opposition to military drill
being compulsory.
ThenAnton Jensen again took the
floor! and explained why the meet
ing was called at the Lindell. He re
ferred to the rules regarding the call
ing of extraordinary meetings on tho
campus, and the power the chancellor
or executive dean have to adjourn such
meetings. When he had done the com
mittee returned, recommending the
otllcers who were selected.
Then Jensen offered some resolu
tions) which were adopted, which de
clared that the supposed benefits of
drill could be better secured by gym
nasium and athletic sports, that spread
ing propaganda for militarism was no
part of a state university curricula,
and petitioning the legislature to abol
ish compulsory drill, at the same time
pledging the members of the organi
zation to secure the submission of the
question by the Initiative and th"
referendum, if the legislature does not
act.
Wahlfred Jacobsen moved, and it
was adopted, that all sign their nams
to a pledge to abide by (he ( cause
This was done after the meeting.
A committee of the rival organlza
tlon entered, composed of Henry Pas
cale. Leonard Kline and Charles ' M.
Frey. They requested a Joint debate
This and the question of finances, was
left to the executive committee.
Sorenson then made an appeal for
extra quarters, to help pay for the
hall, and, after some other business,
the meeting was adjourned.
PHI ALPHA TAU
WHO NAMED IT -
"THE RAG?" THEY ASK
"Why Is The Daily Nebraskan called
the 'Rae'?" Is a question often heard
on the campus and yet very few can
answer it.
The first editor-in-chief of the paper
was Frank Riley, who was graduated
In 1898. As a consequence of his posi
tion he was given a surname which
made the young man Justly famous.
Hp began to be called "Rag Riley" and
simultaneously his paper began to be
called the "Rag." The tide has stuck
