WILSON STiH WILSON SPEAKS TODAY Man of National and Internation al Reknown at University for Thre Days Will Present the Labor and In. Dustrial Problems and Their Solutions Killed with a throbbing message for colleges, master of a gripping personality, and endowed with a gift of oral presentation that surpasses oratory, J. Stltt Wilson conies to Ne braska university to give a series of lectures Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. Wilson is to speak at convocation in Memorial hall today at eleven oclock on the subject of "War and Democracy." At a special convocation tomorrow he will talk on "The Very Soul of Democracy" and Thursday night on the "Supreme Virtue of Democracy." His general theme will be Christian Democracy for the World and for the Campus. Mr. Wilson's services are being de manded from coast to coast to speak to colleges and to address civic gath erings on the present day labor and industrial problems. He has spent ihe best part of his life in studying humanity clear from the dark ages up to the present. He studdied the aris tocracy in its opression of the weak, he has watched the laborer as he went out to earn his bit of bread, and he has witnessed both abroad and at home the rising of the great social problem. Mr. Wilson is second to none in the country as an authority on labor and industrial problems. No Sensationalist Although he talks with compelling force, Mr. Wilson is not a sensational ist in any sense of the word. He is a veiy deliberate speaker but one who reaches his climaxes in a unique and forceful way. Mr. Wilson is a great Bible student and often times 'makes use of biblical quotations in his addresses. In colleges already visited it has been reported that he has not oniy stirred students into thinking more serious on social questions but along with this also went a deeper religious realization. SOONERS PRANCING FOR HUSKING PARTY Dope Says They Have Best Team Ever Produced by Bennie Owen Norman, Okla., Oct. 14. (Special to Ihe Nebraskan), by Dewey Neal. Only one more game on the south ern preparatory schedule and Bennie Owen will be ready to lead his Okla homa Sooners into the north against Ihe Cornhuskers. When the University of Oklahoma goes to Omaha Oct. 25 to meet Ne braska. 21 letter men will represent the material from which the string has been picked. Three men who probably will start the game are vet erans of the all victorious 1916 Soon er roller. They are Hugh McDermott, midget halfback and sensational broken field runner on the Kelly Field aviation team, Claude Tyler, 225-lb. guard who played in the Camp Dodge line that smashed Iowa last year, and Prank McCain, left end, a demon for the long forward pass. Members of the 1918 all victorious Oklahoma team who may be used ' 'gainst Nebraska are Dewey Luster, quarter and end; Howard March, left end; Ross Johnson, end; Lawrence Miskell. 1918 all state collegiate end; Myron Tyler, end; Roy Smoot, 204 lb. tackle. Earl Deacon, captain, 205 lb. . guard; Bechtold, guard; Dow Ilamm, 193-lb. center; Fhil While, quarter; Rusell Hardy, quarter; ller schel Graham, half; Harry Hill, half; Albert Briscoe, half; Alio Davis, lull; Koy Swatek. full. Many promising letter . men from other schools, now enrolled in tne university, may be run for utility. Sooners probably will depend upon their super-abundance of mateiial, beary me, and swift pasing machine, tcr betting points against Nebraska. Several stars of last year are on the hospital list but probably will be back in action for the Omaha battle. The Oklahoma team is considered far miperlor, from the standpoint of offensive work, to any other ever produced cy Bennie Owen. OBSERVATORY OPEN FOR STUDY AND FREE LECTURE For the benefit of those students who are not taking Astronomy, trie observatory will be open on the sec ond and fourth Tuesday even tana of each month, this year, for observa tions with the telescope, and lor a brief lecture, with lantern slides, on some popular phase of astronomy. The lecture will be given at 8:30 p. m. whether the skies are clear or not. If the skies are suitable for observa tion, the telescope will be available before and after the lecture. On this first date, Tuesday, October 14, the lecture wll be on the topic, "What Astronomers are Doing of Late." BEN CHERRINGTON TO SPEAK AT VESPERS Ben Cherrington will speak at Ves pers this evening at 5 oclock in Fac ulty Hall. Mr. Cherrington was grad uated from University of Nebraska in 1911. While in school he was pre sident of the Y. M. C. A. and was prominent in many other student ac tivities. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Fsi Fraternity. For six years he was secretary of the University of California Y. M. C. A. and is now on the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP FUND OF $3000 STARTED Paladian Society to Honor Late Dr. Harry Kirk Wolfe the Last spring in connection with the semi-centennial celebration a move ment was started in alumni circles favoring the establishment of a ten thousand dollar endowment for the purpose of providing a research "el lowship in philosophy in honor of the late Dr. Harry Kirk Wolfe, who was for many years a members of the University faculty. The establishment of such a fel lowship on the part of the alumni was thought to be of great service to the University. Practically all large universities have such fellowships for graduate research, and they are valu able in that they foster the spirit of investigation and scholarship, with out which no college can maintain its quality. Nebraska cannot be ex pected at this early period in its oe velopinent to provide such fellow ships out of public funds. It was deemed very appropriate, therefore, that alumni express through the Harry Kirk Wolfe Memorial their ap preciation Of the benefits they have received from their alma mater. At the forty-eighth annual banquet, of Ihe Palladian Literary Society held at the Lincoln Hotel last spring, the society voted to endorse this movement in view of its significance and for the reason also that Dr. Wolfe is a Palladian alumnus. The active and alumni members there assembled pledged themselves to raise $3,000 toward the fund as the Palladian semi-centennial gift to the univer sity. $1,000 Now Pledged Last Friday evening the initial suo- scription to the Palladian portion of the fund was made by the active members of the society. The sum of $1,000 was pledged by the sixty pres ent members of the organization. And members of the general committee are at this time canvassing the Pal ladian alumni for subscriptions; gen erous response has been experienced. The society feels confident that the one-third of the fund apportioned to them will be subscribed within a short time. The members of the general P! ladian committee are: T. F. A. Wil liams, '92, Chairman; Prof. H. W. Caldwell, '80, treasurer; Prof. H. C. Filley, '03, Edna Bullock, 'S9, C. M. Skiles, '92, Paul Conner, '18. Ray H. Cowen, '20, Alice Aflen. '20, and Jay P.uchta, '20. MENTAL SPLURGE "Who's been marking this Sunday paper?" asked Mr. Clipping. "I have," answered Mrs. Clipping. "Good heavens! If you were to buy all the articles marked in these de partment store advertisements it would cost me several thousand dol lars." 1 have no intention of buying those articles," replied Mm. Clipping calm ly. "I was merely doing a little Sun day shopping. NOTRE DAME IS FORMIDABLE FOE Has One of Mcst Powerful B;ick fields In Country No Cripples On Husker List Confidence in Schulte's Battlers Which Sprouted Saturday Tolerates No Gloom J n Huskers vs. Notre Dame Neb. N D. 1915 20 15 1916 0 it) 1917 7 0 1918 0 u Total 27 35 - J' With a backfield consideted second to none in the country, Notre Dame promises to make this sixth clasli between the two schools the hardest of them all. B:th Coach Sjhulte and Assistant Coach Schissler readily admit the strength of ihe easterners, but are opiir.tislii; over the result. With Schellonbeig. Lyman, Jobes, and Monte Munn ready for battle Coach Rockne's squad will face a more powerful team than the one which held the Gophers Saturday. One ol the oustanding features of the engagement at Minnesapolis is that the Cornhuskers returned with no casualties. It would have wanned any pessimistic student to have seen the smile which Coach Schulte carried around the field with him Monday afternoon when he surveyed the gang of veterans on which he is depending to hit that schedule with irresistable Nebraska force. There was no scrimmage on the stickly field yesterday. During the early part of the practice Schissler took the Freshman squad to one side of the field and coached them on Notre Dame formations. They were then faced by the varsity. Each play was executed slowly and in de tail so the old regulars would know just what they were expected to do to break it up. It was a different bunch of Huskers which trotted out lo practice yester day than which were pummelled by the freshmen the Monday following the defeat at Iowa. There were, no (Continued on Page Four.)

Hecause of the unprecedented enrollment and the consequent short ago of classrooms at the University of Wisconsin this fall, classes are now being scheduled during the noon nour. from 12 to 12:50. Thla increases the university's teaching day from eight to nine class hours. As the heaviest Increase in enroll ment Is In freshman sections In lan guages, science, mathematics, and en gineering courses, these are the class es, in general, that are being assigned during the noon hour. Before a stu dent Is assigned to a noon hour class, however, his class schedule is exam ined to discover whether his 1:30 hour is open to give him time for luncheon. Throughout the university, class rooms and laboratories are axed be yond their limit. In University hall, the main building of the College of Letters and Science, 90 per cent of the classrooms are in use during every hour of the morning, and many are being used that were considered unsuitable. In the offices of certain departments, two or four instructors use the same dask arranging their office hours at different periods. MUSICAL CONVOCATION WILL BE THURSDAY Professor Molzer and Carl Bentel Will Play Beethoven's "Sonata in D" Professor August Molzer and Carl Ik-utel will render Beethoven's "rion nata in D" at convocation Thursday morning. These two artists have done a great deal of work in music together, and it will doubtless be ai opportunity lor university students to hear the interpretation of a mas terpiece by two excellent musicians. Hereafter musical programs for convocations will be at 11 o'clock Thursdays each week, instead of on Tuesdays as heretofore. It is the endeavor of those in charge to have programs at these times that will be an enjoyable education to music-lovers in the university.
