paign will be waged for four days,

pas it boards will cost the students
tear ound dollars for four of the
hardeM gridiron contests ever fought
on Nebraska territory.
University patriots should pur
chase their tickets early In the cam
paign. Doing so will stimulate hose
who will need the final persuasion
to write out a four dollar check for
the worthy cause. A huge sale in
season tickets this week will serve
as a stimulus to the Cornhorker
warriors to victory when they invade
the commonwealth of Iowa. Sound
backing is good evidence that the
school is determined that Nebraska
shall maintain her prestige in tne
football world.
The new seating arrangement this
year will undoubtedly prove success
ful in a rooting stand point. The
center sections on the south side of
the field win be reserved for the stu
dents without charge. Only those
persons holding season tickets will be
admitted to these seats.

Four of the hardest contests will
be waged on the local field. Grid
iron fans expect to come to Lincoln
from all parts of the country to wit
ness these games. They are coming
with the expectation of paying two
dollars before they will see each
struggle and they would gladly pay
more. University students can fully
realize the fact that they are to be
admitted through the gates at one-
half cost.

Of university hall, Professor Louise
Pound thus writes: "University hall,
the original home of the university,
of nlte years held together, to insure
Its safety from falling, by steel up
rights. Is still the home of Arts col
lege, the oldest of the colleges. Its
recitation rooms and offices which
house classes in history, language,
literature, and rhetoric, look time
stained and battered, in comparison
with the new and nttrnct Ice quarters
of the natural science , the technical
science, the social science, and the
vocational and agricultural schools.
Hut those who teach In the old build
ing are glad to do so. They feel a
deep love for it, for university hall
Is the historic building, among those
on the campus, and the classes i cell
ing in it are those first desired by
the founders of the institution."
Of university Hall Dr. George Elliot
Howard writes: "Of a truth that
modest structure deserves respect,
the honor and love of the men and
women many builders of the com
monwealth who caught inspiration
within its walls. What those two
ancient halls at her campus gate are
to Harvard, the venerable university
hall should be to our institution Let
it not be touched by any destroying
hand. Let it stand as long as n;:'uie
may suffer it to endure as a monu
ment to the courageous souls who
with slender means during lean years
and perilous crises laid the spiritual
foundations of Nebraska's chief
temple of learning."
Of university hall Miss Edna D.
Bulock thus writes: "Envoi: Old
Hall in spite of your Franco Italian
Hoosier architecture, plus the cordu
roy effects," In spite of all the disad
vantages of primitive building which
no amount of repairing and altering
can entirely mitigate, alumni and stu
dents of 1871-1919, salute you. Every
brick, every stone, every worn step
and threshold, the old cracked bell.
the useless tower, the flag of our
country flying against the incompar
able blueness of Nebraska sky all
these are inseparable from our intel

storied past speaks to us from your

There are those who readily under
stand, a less number who appreciate
the love of the alumni thus expressed
for university hall, but a spirit so de
sirable does not, to an appreciable ex
tent, prevail among people of the
state. Seemingly very few of our peo
ple evidence a love, a reverence, for
state, for the early home of their par
ents, the house first builded. the trees
first planted.
Professor I B. Alexander, writing
of "The Future" (of the univeirity)
and ol university hall says: "Those
ugly but dear bricks that form the
old building which, now cherishingly
enclosed by finer halls, first stood so
bleak and upstarting on the threeless

CONVOCATION
Today, at 11:30 o'clock in Memorial
Hall the first musical convocation of
the year will be given. The university
quintet will be present the overture
to Mignon by the French composer
Ambroise Thomas and the famiIar
overture to Tannhauser. Everybody
is invited. The University quintet,
consisting of Mr. E. J. Walt, 1st vio
lin, Mr. Ernest Harrison. 2d violin,
Mr. W. T. Quick, viola, and Miss Lil
lian Eiche, 'cello, under the direction
of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond at the
organ. These weekly programs have
for several years been an important
feeture of the University Convoca
tions, and never fail to attract numer
ous and appreciative hearers. Many
music lovers look forward with plea
sure to these occasions, for in these
recitals Mrs. Raymond and her coad
jutors have made it possible for Lin
coln audiences to become acquainted
with some of the finest and most fam
ous orchestral compositions. The or
gan undertakes the parts of the wind
instruments, and though the orches
tral score is thus reduced and ten
dered in minature, as it were, it is
given with such skillful adaption and
good taste that the interpretation is
both intelligible and pleasing. The
University quintet in these programs
performs a distinct service for musi
cal culture, and its members merit
the general approbation they receive.
700 MEN REGISTER
III COMMERCIAL WORK
Leading University Professors
Praise Nebraska's Depart
ment of Economics.
The new college of business admin
titration at the University has begun
its career with an enormous regiBtra
tion. Nearly 700 students have en
rolled in the entire college. The
classes in introduction to commerce
and economics include 500 stuMems
this semester, while there were not
more than 150 students in the begin
ning economics classes last year. Be
tween 450 and 500 students have regis
tered in principles of accounting. This
year the course in economics is Uivui
ed into 6 sections, and economics 3
into S divisions.
The college has almost the entire
third floor of the new social science
building. Here are found all depart
mental offices, as well as well-lighted
class-rooms of various sizes. A fea
ture of the new building is the ac
counting laboratory. Professor Hotch-
kiss. head of the department of econ
omics at the University of Minnesota,
said: "No department of economics
in the country is so splendidly
equipped as that in the Universi'y of
Nebraska." The general offices open
ing onto the dean's private office are
large and excellently lighted. The
seminar room and library, when com
pletely equipped, will be a featuic m

DR. LYMAN WILL
Dean of College of Pharmacy
Will Speak at Y. M. C. A.
Program Wednesday Eve.
The second of the series of lectures
to be given under the auspices of the
Young Men's Christian Association.
will be held at the Temple Building
Wednesday evening of this week when
Dr. R. A. Lyman will speak upon the
subject "The Student and His Envi
ronment." Dr. Lyman is a very pleas
ant speaker and his subject upon this
occasion will be exceedingly interest
ing especially to new students.
It is the aim of the Y. M. C. A. in
holding these programs, to interest
the student in the activities which are
going on about him, and to assist in
adjusting him to the new conditions
with which he is coming in contnet.
To quote Dean Engberg from his talk
last Wednesday 'It is very seldom tnat
the man who avails himself of these
opportunities outside the classroom,
is summoned to the office for delinquency."
Freshman Caps Come Monday;
A II are Sold Before Night
The second shipment of over a
hundred freshmen caps was rece.Ved
Monday and before evening every
cap was sold. Dozens of the green
caps on the heads of loyal first ear
afternoon although many who pur
chased the required headgear delayed
making their first appearance u:ider
the new head covering until a later
date. A liberal sprinkling of green
among the yearlings is looked for
odaj".
Those in charge of the salt say
that results have been gratifying.
Freshmen have gone to the CoJIege
Book store every day eager to fearn
when the next shipment would ar
rive. But a small portion of the
lyt ordered was received registration
week and these were sold in a lew
hours. An unfortunate delav in dipp
ing the order prevented an early distribution.
Now that the caps are here, how
ever, all first year men will be asked
to wear them until the annual Olym
pics. If they are victorious over the
sophomores in the class scrap, they
will be permitted to thrwo them away
and don normal' heargear for the re
mainder of the year. If they fail to
take the laurels from the upperciass
men, it will be their duty to continue
wearing them until .the snow flies.
By this time the regulation g-ecn
toque will probably be on hand for
those who still wish to show then
class spirit by wearing the colors of
the first year class.
Another shipment of caps i.s ex
pected Tuesday or Wednesday and
this stock, it is thought, will be suf
ficiVnt to supply the needs of all men.
The caps are more attractive than
usus.1 this year with the long visor
and the numerals '23.

In the backfield the Hawkeyes will

Other Hawkeyes who faced the
