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.

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.

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

NOON HOUR CLASSES NOW;
CLASS ROOMS LACKING
Madison, Wisconsin. 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.
