Methodist Rooters Expect to Outnum
ber Nebraska on Our Own
Floor
Will Wesleyan beat Nebrubka?
They will, if spirit has anything to
do with it; they will not, if Coach
Stewart and the members of the team
huve anything to say about it.
The Wesleyan quintet will have
their whole, school behind them when
thry face the Cornhuskers next Sat
urduy night while the Nebraskans will
have a scant 200 supporters on that
occasion. ' The added support will give
I lie Coyotes a big advantage and will

Methodist "Pep" Session
Yesterday the Methodists held a
mammoth "pep" session, and for no
other reason than to generate steam
for the coming battle with Nebraska.
By Saturday the pressure of that steam
will have reached thousands of pounds
per square inch and the full force of
its power will be used against the
Cornhuskers.
What will the Nebraska rooters have
to meet the enthusiasm of the Wesley
unites with? Will the student body
turn out in large enough numbers to
out-cheer the Coyotes or will they let
the Wesleyan team have nil the ad
vantage to come from support from
the bleachers?
These questions can be answered
only when the time for the game
comes. But it is to be hoped that the
student body will get , behnld their
team and boost it to the extreme.
DRILL PETITIONS
BY "MILITARISTS"
PRO-DRILL SOCIETY MOVES TO
CHECK PACIFISTS
Petition Circulated at Drill Yesterday
and is Widely Signed Follows
Petitions of "Pacifists"
"Whereas, we the undersigned fully
believe that it is the duty of every citi
zen to so prepare himself in time of
peace that he may, with efficiency, do
his part in defending his country in
time of war, and whereas, knowing
full well the benefits, mental and physi
cal, resulting from conscientious mili
tary training; and furthermore, know
ing as we do the loss, both financial
and otherwise, that would result if
compulsory military drill were abol
ished at the University, we do re
spectfully petition for its continuance."
This petition was circulated among
adets at the drill period yesterday
afternoon, to give them an opportunity
of expressing their own opinions on the
anti-drill agitation that has been rif
In the University In the past few days,
and which was especially made evident
at a meeting of the Open Forum club
at the All Souls church, the center of
the pacifist movement, last Sunday
night.
It was announced In The Dally Ne
braskan, as coding from the leaders
of the pacifist movement, that petitions
would be circulated, asking for the
support of students for the anti-drill
cause. '
When they read this announcement,
'he men who want drill continued on
the present basis, and who feel that
the University and its student body
will suffer great harm If drill is not so
continued, got busy. . They prepared
the petitions as above, and the men in
the companies signed, with few exceptions.
DRILL DEBATE IS '
STILL UNDECIDED
PACIFISTS ANSWER STATEMENT
BY L. W. TRESTER
Call' for Showing Deny Charges of
Unfairness Say Issue
Beclouded
The debate committee of the com
pulsory drill advocates, L. W. Klino,
Cliarhis Frey and Henry I'ascale, an
nounced yesterday that they had taken
under consideration the debate chal
lenge of the pacifists. They seemed to
favor February 10 for the debate rather
than February 3.
The pacifists seemed in grave danger
yesterday of losing some of their calm
poise, the statement by L. W. Terster
published in The Dally Nebraska hav
ing gotten under the collar to some ex
tent. Anton Jensen, the president, who ha3
consistently deprecated anything that
bordered on personalities in this ex
citement, said that he was afraid ths
opposing side would overstep the
bonds. Then Jensen Issued a state
ment, given below, which seeks to
come back upon Trester.
The statement by Jensen:
"Mr. Trester has either got to put
up or shut up. His charge in Wednes
day's Daily Nebraskan, of 'paid faculty
members' assisting our propaganda 13
a charge that can not go unchallenged.
I ask Mr. Trester to make good his
charges by naming the offending
'faculty members' In Friday's Nebras
kan, or show cause why. Mr. C. A.
Sorenson is the only person who could
possibly come within Mr. Trester's
designation. And Mr. Sorenson has
neither taken 'part' in any debate and
doesn't intend to, nor has hw done any
faculty coaching.' Such false charges
hurt both Mr. Trester's organization
and our organization.
"If the 'drill advocates' moreover.
were "unfairly treated' Sunday evening,
no one but Mr. Trester and a few of
his cl03e associates 'admit' It, for oilier
members of his organization present
that even'ng, do not think so. As far
ns a 'packed audience' Is concerned Mr.
Trester's organization had tho same
chance as ours.
"Mr. Trester seeks to becloud the
Issue by playing up our movement as
a movement for non-resistance. Prac
tically every member of our organiza
tion, if there even are any exceptions,
are in favor of military defense of
some kind."

MRS. RAYMOND OFFERS
MVC COURSES
INTERESTING STUDIES FOR THE
SECOND SEMESTER
Registration Will Mean Free Admsision
to May Music Festival and'
Symphony Orchestra '
I Mrs. Ravmond. director of the Uni
versity chorus, Is planning one of the
most interesting courses in music for
the coming semester that it has evar
been her privilege to offer to the stu
dents who register for chorus.
In addition to the folk-songs of the
nations, the choral part of the ninth
Beethoven Symphony and "Hiawatha"
will be studied. The choral work is
seldom attempted by amateur choruses
becaus eof the difficult music. This
fact makes the work offered by Mrs.
Raymond' all the more attractive.
"Hiawatha" will be given as part
of the May festival. The symphony
will be given during the semester, prob
ably at convocation.
Free to May Festival
As an added incentive for registra
tion, Mrs. Raymond announces that ail
members of the chorus will be ad
mitted free to the afternoon and even
ing concerts of the Sit. Louis Symphony
orchestra, which has been engaged for
the May festival.
All men who have to drill on Mon
day and Wednesday at 5 o'clock may
register for the course on Monday at
7 and Friday at 5.
GERMAN PLAY
WILL BE PRODUCED
IN OMAHA HIGH
The German Dramatic club will pre
sent "Pension Schoeller" at the Omaha
Central high school auditorium, Fri
day evening, January 26. A. J. Wede
king, formerly instructor in German
in the University, and now head of the
German department in the Omaha high
school, has had charge of the arrange
ments. He said yesterday that 700
tickets had been sold.
This will make the sixth time the
play has been presented by the club,
three times in Lincoln, once in Ne
braska City and once in Sterling. Axel
Swenson, '17, plays the leading role.
The play is a comedy written by Carl
Lauff.
CONVOCATION
CADET BAND TO
PLAY HAYDN'S MILITARY
SYMPHONY TODAY
The convocation this morning at
which the band will play J. Haydn's
"Military Symphony," will be one of
the real musical treats of the year.
This symphony has never been played
in the state by a band and it is doubt
ful if many of the present student
body have ever heard it.
The "Military Symphony" was the
twelfth symphony of Franz Joseph
Haydn, who was one of the pioneers
of orchestral music, and who, in his
later life, was a teacher of the great
Beethoven. It was written in 1794.
This symphony is a- masterpiece be
cause of its simple, beautiful melodies.
Its different themes are much like the
folk-songs of the period in which it wati
written.

the editorials of Awgwan, the good lit
tle Indian, and the cartoons of Lyman
Thomas are two of the strongest features.

That the swimming classes for Uni
versity girls conducted under the
auspices of the University physical
education department at the Lincoln

ing of class
Number who could swim before
opening of season 35
Number who learned to swim at
tending from two to seven times. 6
Fifty reported so infrequently that
no record could be made of their abil
ity. It can be stated without exaggera
tion that every girl who came with
any degree of regularity is now able to
swim, and to swim well.
Swim Next Semester
, The success of the past season as
sures one for the coming semester
providing enough tickets are sold dur
ing registration week to guarantee a
fund for the rental of the pool. The

semester, Thursday evening from 7:30
to 9:30 and Saturday morning from
9:30 to 11.30. Tickets for the second

of choosing their own instructor. .
Tickets will be on sale in the Armory
during registration week.

PROFJTJ MAN?"
Professor Tuttle Asks and Answers
the Question for Phi Alpha
Delta
Prof. S. J. Tutt,le talked to the mem
bers of the Phi Alpha Delta law fra
ternity last night on the subject of
"What Shall it Profit a Man?" He
quoted Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius
on their interpretation of the law and
the duties of the magistrates.
Professor Tuttle explained that out
side of his profession the lawyer should
play an important part in politics and
especially in making laws. He also
emphasized the fact that lawyers
should urge the election of strong men
for Judges and do all in their power
to put this type of man in office since
they know their good qualities better
than most voters.
In closing his discussion Professor
Tuttle said, "In every movement have
respect to justice."
