WILKEN For This Issue THE WESLEYAN GAME For the first time in eight years Nebraska has won both basketball games from Wesleyan. It- was not be cause NebraBka had a number of vet eran players that the games were won. Of the Beven basketball "N" men of last year, one is on this year's team. Wesleyan had more experienced play ers than Nebraska. It was plain hard work that won the games, hard work done by the coach and players under great difficulties. The Armory is the University what the town hall is the little western town. Elections, dances, political gatherings, box socials, musical con certs, basketball games, all are held in the one place. True as yet no Uni versity roller-skating club has been formed but-we have cadets who must train indoors frequently. To successfully schedule an event in the Armory is one of the most dif ficult thines the University has to of fer. If a special meeting of some sort has been scheduled six months be fore, it is very probable that the girls' and boys' basketball team will each want it if Bomeone does not get there first to rehearse for something. Under these conditions the Univer sity basketball team practices each year. It is no wonder Nebraska does not win in basketball as she does in football. It is a wonder she wins at all. The war has brought out forcilby the importance of intercollegiate ath letics. Athletes rank high as soldiers. President Wilson has urged athletic directors to do all they can to train University men. What Nebraska needs is a gym nasium. It has now only an armory. CONVOCATION TODAY Nebraska students and faculty should hear Helen Frazer tell at Con vocation this morning how England has organized her war-relief work. We all remember the eloquent- address the English adjutant-general gave in the Lincoln auditorium about a month ago. Miss Frazer is as noted in her work as he is in his. She is more than a skillful, efficient organizer; she is a forceful, convincing speaker. She or ganizes the material of her addresses with a skill equal to that with which she organizes the various war-relief activities. It would seem enough to point out that when England wished to send a speaker to America, not to criticise what American women are doing, but to picture to them what women may do, that Miss Frazer was selected. English women have and are accom plishing much. A glance at any English newspaper makes that plain. The military department of the United States has been helped by ex perienced French and English army men. By learning how English men and women most successfully are do ing var relief work we w ill doubt less acquire greater efficiency.

This evening she wltl ppeak at St. Paul's church on "The Mobilization of Women for War Work." An admis sion of twenty-five cents will be charged for the evening address to cover the expense Incurred In hrlng ing her to Lincoln. Miss Helen Fraier Is an official of the British treasury now lecturing In America with the approval of the Brit ish government; she has continuously been engaged In various kinds of war work since August. 1914. and has per sonally organized no less than 109 of the 1.&00 local committees of the na tional war savings committee, which in turn have reorganized 40,000 war savings associations to which more than seven million persons contribute every week. Miss Krazer is a member of the executive committee of the na tional union of women's BufTrng'i so cieties of England the non-militant or constitutional group under the able leadership of Mrs. Henry Fawcett-. Miss Frazer Is lecturing In America on the invitation of the principal worn en's colleges and the woman's com mittee of the council of national de tense. The following extract from the Vassar Students' newspaper shows the way in which students receive her: "Miss Frazer. here's to you! We don't' need to say that we liked Miss Frazer and everything she had to tell us. The way we followed her around, and packed every room in which she spoke, out to the doors and Rome times up to the ceiling is proof enough of that. And even the fact that It was Sunday could not check our out burst of song in the Soap Palace as Miss Frazer departed. Her gracious speech of appreciation left us with the question jiot phrased by her be fore, . but certainly In the minds of every one of us who had been hearing her: What are we going to do?" DEAN AMANDA HEPPNER ENTERTAINS 200 WOMEN Seniors and Freshman Enjoy Saturday Afternoon at Kids Party in Temple Over two hundred seniors and fresh men were present at the party given In the Temple Saturday by Dean Amanda Heppner. Miss Heppner was assisted by the executive board of the senior advisers. Each girl received a miniature hatchet when she entered. The hatchets of the freshmen gfrl3 were red, white and blue, while those of the seniors were red. The guest3 wrote their names on the hatchets. Then the girls divided into groups and played charades. The following program was given by two seniors, two freshmen and a quartet from all the classes: Reading Catherine Pierce Vocal Solo Violet Faulk Reading Octavia Beck Solo Dances Marjory Barstow Hawaiian Music Carolyn Reed, Ruth Lindsey, Louise Bally, Doris Arn old, Frances Whitmore and Ruth Ryons. The girls spent the latter part of the afternoon In dancing. Refresh ments were served in Faculty hall, which was prettily decorated with ferns and banners. The purpose of this party was to give the freshman girls a chance to get acquainted with their adopted "big sisters." Registration in Farm Course Breaks Record Registration at the course of the school of agriculture which opened Monday gives every Indication of breaking re'eords. Wednesday 159 stu cents had registered. The total regis tration for the short course 'idt year was 160. "There is every Indication that we will break our last year's record," said Principal II. E. Bradford. "There wi 1 be a number of late arrivals which will probab'y bring the total up to nearly 170." Seventy-seven of the students are registered In the farm motcr course. Twenty tractors and trucks are on hand to give the students actual prac tice. The popularity of this course Is attributed to the fact that there Is a shortage of help on the farms as a con sequence of which the tractor Is play; lng a bigger part than ever before, and to the fact that the army Is asking for automobile and tractor experts.
