dent special which will carry Corn

This is the train that will make the
direct run from Lincoln to Lawrence
and return. There will be no side

ning at 10 o'clock, arriving at Law
rence Saturday morning at 6 o'clock.
The special will start back to Lincoln
any time Saturday evening, whenever
the students desire anytime from 10
o'clock until midnight.
The special has been arranged for the
special convenience of student rooters,
although there are a number of Lin
coln people who are also planning to
make the trip on this train. The
cadet band of thirty-five pieces will
occupy one of the cars.
The round-trip carfare, including the
wr tax, is $9.70. A standard Pull

jre reliable. Rooters are happy that

down to a battle between the Jay
hawkers and the Cornhuskers, for stu

Nebraska revenged for the catastro
phe of a year ago. Besides sending
the band, the University will also send

UNIVERSITY WOMEN NEED
BROADER PROSPECTIVE
Miss Blanche Conde Tells Re
porter Girls Should Think
Less of Self
"University women need to get a
new sense of the perspective of things,
perspective in which they loom a lit
tle less, and other people loom a lot
more." Miss Blanche Conde, National
v- C. A. student secretary, whose
headquarters are in New York, de
clared in an interview yesterday.
They need to get a new sense of
the value of things," she continued.
Most college women do not put first
wngs first. They spend their money
and time foolishly. Not only do indi
vidual8 do this, but groups as well."
The girls in the eastern colleges
are giving up party dre8sea Ml8S

"I tM , ,n college

"Women will be needed economically
more in the next few years than they
are now," she said. "When it comes
to cutting down your education you
are cutting down your life."
"We're living in an age when you
and I have got to be dead sure of
something," Miss Conde said in her
address on "A Life of Spiritual Ad
venture," In the Y. W. C. A. rooms
last evening. "Everything and every
body are turning handsprings. You
can't tell which Is right side up."
"Prepare yourselves so that when
the days of reconstruction come, you
will be ready, an efficient worker."
Miss Conde has had an unusually
Interesting life. She spent several
months in Russia several years ago,
with young women there. She has
written two books, which are very well
known, "The Business of Being a
Friend," and "The Human Element in
the Making of a Christian."
The Y. W. C. A. has fourteen secre
taries in France and seven in Russia
at the present time. Their principal
work is furnishing recreation for
nurses and women who are working
in munition factories. In the United
States they have established "hostess
houses" near the various camps where
families and friends of the soldiers
may go to visit.

THANKSGIVING VACATION
AS ORIGINALLY PLANNED
Official Holiday Begins Tuesday
Evening and Ends Satur
day Evening
Thanksgiving vacation will- be given
as originally planned and will offici
ally begin Tuesday evening, November
27 and end Saturday evening. Decem
ber 1. A report was circulated on the
campus yesterday 4hat the vacation
would probably be shortened but this
was denied last evening by the senate
committee on student organizations
and social affairs which is in charge
of vacation changes.
The committee, acting with the ex- j
ecutive dean is to meet some time
this week, probably Thursday after
noon to determine the fact of the
minor holidays of the school calendar
this year. A meeting for the same
purpose had been scheduled for last
Thursday, but was not held because
some of the members were unable to
be present.
The committee is acting at the re
quest of the University senate. At a
meeting held some time ago. the sen
ate voted to shorten the Christmas va
cation by one week and to eliminate
all other holidays and vacations possi
ble. The commitee will go over the
entire calendar and cancel all holidays
that may be expediently omitted.
Thus, the school work will be com
pleted early in the spring, and the
men can get back in time to help with
some of the spring work on the farms.
Exactly what action will be taken
by the senate is not known. However,
it is thought that the departmental
holidays, in particular, will be discon
tinued. It is not believed that any of
the old University customs will be In
terfered with, and it is thought a
spring vacation will be granted, al
though it may be shortened two or
three days.

working in the offices of the geog

county reports, has gone to Washing

PROSPECTS FOR HARD
FIGHT WITH JAYHAWKS
Riddell,
Shaw and Otoupalik
May Enter
NEBRASKA IS OUTWEIGHED
Varsity Put Through Hard Scrimmage
Yesterday Men In Good Condi
tion Except Young
For the first time since the Iowa
game, Captain Shaw lined up with the
varsity in scrimmage last evening.
Although taking part in both the Notre
Dame and the Michigan games, the
captain has not been engaged in a
practice bout since the battle with
the Hawkeyes. Ted Riddell, the side
kick of Shaw since the two entered
school three years ago, was also in
the lineup yesterday after having
taken part in only one scrimmage
since early In the season. The return
of these two veterans with the possi
ble addition of Otoupalik will allow the
Cornhu3kers to present as strong, if
not a stronger front to the Jayhawks
than has been assembled at any time
this season.
It is doubtful if Kositzky will get
into the game Satffrday. Coach Stew
art has practically announced that he
will not risk using the veteran guard.
If injuries can be prevented iin the
workouts of the week it will be a pow
erful team that will meet the Kansans
on McCook field Saturday afternoon.
On the other hand the Jayhawks will
have an eleven on the field at the
start of the game that will have
weight, speed and valuable experience.
They have met but one defeat this
season and that was suffered just for
the purpose of getting "big-league" ex
perience to prepare them for the Corn
husker conflict.
Kansans Working Hard
Coach Olcott introduced the habit
last fall of takingn the Illinois team
to prepare his men for the Nebraska
game. How well it worked the first
year is shown by the score of last
year's game. Whether the same tac
tics will repeat for the Jayhawks this
year is a question that is troubling
Coach Stewart.
Pringle, right half on the Kansas
team, has been causing trouble for all
the opponents of the Jayhawks this
year by his off tackle smashes. With
him in the backfield Is Neilson, cap
tain of the crew who was given that
honor last year because he was the
first Jayhawk to cross a Cornhusker
goal line since 1909. The other mem
bers of the team are big and reported
to be fast. The Kansas team will out
weigh the Nebraskans on an average
of at least ten pounds to the man.
Coach Stewart started his men off
with a hard scrimmage last evening

AWGWAN STARTS
SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN
Subscriptions to Humorous
Magazine Will Be Taken
by Co-Eds
Yesterday began the four-day sub
scription campaign of Awgwan, Uni
versity humorous magazine.
With a free trip to Kansas as the
reward for the one who sells the
most subscriptions as an incentive a
dozen co-eds are soliciting the campus
in the interests of the magazine. A
subscription for the rest of the year,
including the 32-pag9 Homecoming
number issued Saturday has been cut
from one dollar to seventy-five cents,
a liberal offer on the part of the
management,
Awgwan has been for several years
a well-established institution at Ne
braska. It covers a field peculiarly
its own, a field which is an intrinsic
part of every college. Campus chat
ter, the latest offerings of the young
er humorists, clever cartoons and a
brisk editorial column are what the
magazine offers the student.
Wayne L. Townsend, 'IS, of Cook,
editor of The Cornhusker, the Uni
versity year book, is also editor-in-chief
of Awgwan. John C. Wright,
'19, is business manager. The paper
is in the hands of Sigma Delta Chi,
journalistic fraternity.
