ALFRED J. REESE
GOES TO OXFORD
One oi Two Men Picked From
Nebraska for Rhodes
Scholarship
Alfred 1 Reese. '20. was selected

fiom Nebraska, according to un nil
nonceraent received by him late Sun
,18y evening. W selection was nmde
by the state committee from a large
list of candidates from state col
leges. He will leave Tor Oxford In
the fall of 1820.
For the first time In two years,
representative men of the unlver
sides and colleges of the United
States were selected for the Rhodes
scholarship to the great Eng
lish university. Oxford. Sixty-four
scholarships, double the ,usual num
ber, were awarded this year, and the
same number will be given next year.

who would have gone during the past
two years, had it not been for the wur.

oi the Rhodes Scholarship fund. Sixty-three
men were selected at that
time, the sixty-fourth to be announced
later.
An unusually large interest In the
scholarships was evinced by universi
ty men in this country this year, due
perhaps to the greater interest In Eng
land and Europe resulting from the
world war. The state of Nebraska
was given two of the scholarships.
Twelve men in the University of Ne
braska made application and from this
number the university committee
chose four. Leonard V. Kline, Ray H.
Cow-en, Neil T. Chadderton and Alfred
I. Reese, and submitted their names
to the state committee. This committee-,
composed of Dr. I. B. SchrecK
engast. Paul Good and Professor

Rhodes scholars, made the final selec
tion troni this list and others from

Courses
The meeting held Saturday morn
ing in the Chemistry building by the
faculty of the Arts and Scieice col
lege was the first big step taken to
ward the organization of the college
Into a junior and senior division. The
proposed plaa w ould not only definite
ly organize the curriculum so that
subjects of a lower grade could on!
be taken with a loss of credit but In
addition weruld segregate the fie3h
man and sophomores and would
largely solve the question of stud

Deaa P. M. Buck, of the Art3 aim!
Science college, opened the discus
sion with aa explanation of what such
a step would mean, the opportunity It
would present for the organization of
the curriculum and definitely classify
courses in all departments. By doing
this it would make it plain to the
student Just what course he should
take. Dean Buck believes that spe
cialization of a high degree should
not begin below the third year in
school. The plan, already adopted by
the Chicago University and the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, is being seri
ously contemplated by Iowa.
A general discussion followed Fean

ALL UNIVERSITY
CHURCH DAY SET
November 23 Chosen by Feder-j
ation of Church Workers
as Go to Church Day
An 'tAll university church day'"
lias been set for November 23. On
this Sunday, chosen by the Federation
cf Church Workers, all university stu
dentb are especially invited to attend
the '(iu:ch of their choice.
Some years ago the precedent was
established of holding each year a
students' Thanksgiving day on the
Sunday preceding Thanksgiving. Dur
ing the war, however, the custom vas
Interrupted on account of the absence
of many of the university pastors
who were engaged in war work else
where. The students and faculty are
now anxious to restore this cusiom
as an annual feature o fthe school.
Promoted by Federation
The movement this .year Is being
promoted by the Federation ot
Church Workers at the university.
Leaders in the work are the unlversl
ty pastors, the Rev. Harry Hunting
ton of the Methodist church, Theo
dore Dunn of the Congregational
church, Carey J. Pope of the Baptist
church. Dean R. Leland of the Presby
terians. Don Hoffley. secretary of the
Young Men's Christian association,
and Miss Claire McKinnon, secretary
of the Young Women's Christian as
sociation. City pastors will be asked to co
operate by preaching sermon of
especial interest to the students.
All students of whatever communion
or church affiliation will receive
special invitation to attend these ser
vices in the church of their choice.
Urged to Become Members
For some weekc the students have
been urged to take out student mem
bership in the churches. This means
simply the choosing of their church
home during their university course
and does not change their membership
in their home church.
, The student membership automati
cally ceases whea the student leaves
the university and does not involve
anv financial obligation.

LINCOLN, NKHHASKA. TUESDAY,
FRESHMEN ARE
VERY CONFIDENT
President Tefft Announces Inten
tion of Winning Olympic
Games
Names First Freshman Commit
tee With Lynch as
Chairman
"We're going to win the Olympics,'
declared President Tefft of the fiesh-
man class Monday morning after he
had completed arrangements tor a
big rally and class meeting to be held
In Law 202 at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday
morning. In announcing Dan Lynch,
as chairman of his Olympic commit
tee, President Tefft, made public the
first of the freshman class appoint
ments for the semester.
"The meeting Tuesday morning is
going to be one with pep and en
thusiasm" Tefft went on, "and Dan
Lynch Is going to tell the class what
the committee has done and what he
wants the class to do." The commit
tee, consisting of Dan Lynch, chair
man, Fred Haecker, Rob McCandlcss,
Joe Ryans, Lowell Roberts, and Ted
Brown, have been working hard and
elaborate preparations have been
made to make the first yearlings
victors over the more experienced
yet less abundant sophomores.
The tryouts will be held on Wed
nesday and Thursday evenings at
7:00 o'clock for boxing and wrestling.
Every man interested should come to
ehe armory at that time and if pos
sible bring a gym suit or a suit of old
clothing. Every freshman who has
done any of this kind of work should
attend for there are to be entrants at
every weight. Tryouts for the relay
race, tug of war, and push ball ate to
be held at nine o'clock Saturday
morning.
The committee in charge would ap
preciate any suggestions that might
possibly be used to make the scrap a
success. Turn over all suggestions
to the Olympic committee Tuesday
morning at the pep meeting.
Unusual spirit has been shown by
the Treshmen for a first year class
not only in the remarkable support
of the all-freshman party, but in the
r.umber of men participating iu all
activities. The "dope" is that the
freshmen will be easy victors in the
contest on the morning of the Home
coming game.
Freshman, to not upset this dope,
wiil have to come to the rally Tues
day morning at 11:30, Law 202, to
complete the organization which is
to handle the Olympics.
Will Motion Pictures be
Used in Schools and Colleges
The world's largest educational film
producers have joined forces to make
motion pictures a practical and im
portant part of instruction in schools
and colleges.
This is the first comprehensive
movement to put the ideal method of
instruction into the schools in h big
way. No educator questions that '.he
screen method is the ideal method of
instruction. Printed words at tjeir
best only create mental image.-
Films are all images. Teacher draws
diagrams in films the diagrams come
to life. The screen way is a painiess
method of education films enterum
while they instruct.
Harry Levey, managing director of
the Industrial Department of Uni
versal predicts that within a few years
eighty percent, of the schools in Cie
United States will be us'ng tnlucation
al films to an extent today little da cam
of. He holds that films are soon to
revolutionize the entire system of
education. Of course films never en
tirely supplant textbooks anymore
than warplanes supplanted infaul y,
but in years to come each will be u-d
In conjention with the other.
If motion pictures can teach aihh-
metic and that they can has been
demonstrated by no less authority
than the Department of Education or
the United States government ihhk
that the screen can be done with a
subject such as history, botany, tool-
oev. physiology.
Geocraphv classes can climb aboard
the celluloid magic carpet and take

people of a land live but when the
curtains are lowered over the cliss-

The customary arangements for

pole rush Is open to all men of the
freshmen and sophomore classes and
will be the biggest event of the morn

"knock them down, drag them off, and
throw them in the creek" manner of
treatment for the unlucky class, wnich
gives the freshman the advantage be
cause of numbers, has been replaced
by the free-for-all pole fight,
A pole will be firmly set in the
ground, the sophomore colors in. lied

to protect the flag, and the second
year nun grouped about it. At a sig

Who will say that an X Kay film
showing the various bones of liie Hu
man body in action will not have
;a more lasting impression on the stu
dent's mind than a chart and woiux;
Films on historical subjects which
are being made for display in the reg
ular theatres are becoming truer in
details every year. With the wealth
of historical authorities among the
Appleton staff of authors, is tnere any
reason why the history of the world
cannot be told in a film absolutely
faithful In all details?
David Starr Jordan, former Chan
cellor Emeritus of Leland Stamoru
University, one of the world's lore
most authorities on zoology, will help
give his approval to the zoology pic
tures which are to be used witn nis
famous textbooks. Another zoology
expert who is under agreement to aid
in the production of instructive films
is Vernon L. Kellogg, formerly of Le
land Stanford and later one of Hoov
er's chief ansistants in Belgium.
In order that school children of the
future will not have to be content
with reading that George Washington
corssed the Deleware, Mms. Gertrude
Southworth will aid in making motion
pictures of the famous trip across the
river. Mrs. Southworth is recogni7ed
as the nation's leading writer on ele
mentary United States history.
Dr. John M. Coulter, University of

The MIkhouiI Tigers are overflow
ing with confidence that they will be
the next team lo trample the Corn
buskers In the dirt. The Huskers have
a real football team to face Saturday
and the game will be played on the
Tiger gridiron. The Tigers have
proved their ability by defeating the
Ames Cyclones and holding the Okla
homa Sooners to tie. Their victory
over the Iowans gives them an advan
tage over the Huskers but the tie
score with the Sooner places he
teams on a more equal basis.
Assistant Coach Schlssler witnessed
the Tiger Oklahoma scrap and hays
that the Missourlans will plnce a team
on the field that will equal the Con
huskers in weight. He believes thai
they outplayed the Sooners Saturday
In spite of the tie score. It la cer
tain that Schulte's men will not meet
a team of poor caliber. The 1919
schedule contains no teams of this
sort.
The coaches and team have forgot
ten the Ames disaster and are concen
trating every effort on the coming
Missouri battle. The Nebraska line,
heretofore Impregnable, did not pre
sent its usual stone wall appearance
Saturday, and consequently was the
main object of Schulte's attack yes
terday. It is thought that r-veral
changes in the lineup will be forth
coming and next Saturday may see
the names of several in Nebraska's
lineup who have previously been con
sidered second string men.
Cody Clark, all western halfoack
with the Wisconsin Badgers in -si, '05
and '06, nd long time friend of Coach
Schulte, is helping the coach do f lop
speed and fight in the backfield. Clark
Is now a rancher at Lusk, Wyoming.
He played a part of one season on a
Cornhusker eleven r.nd then kit icr
the Badcer school where ha estab
lished an enviable gridiron reputation.
Clark believes that Nebraska has a
first rate football team, that nope of
the backfield nun :'.re brilliant stars
but that they :.re steady depcndchle

of the team this season. Clark says
that the stiff schedule had them bea
