he committee in bringing out amend

of benefit to the state and which will
...iflii the needs of modern country
journalism.
The influence of the country news
i.HD.T cannot be appreciated without
...,rUf.ii Btiidv of the situation. The
ft CW V .
editor of the mouthpiece of a com
hv has more to say about the
111 mi i ' -
policies to be followed, the improve
ments to be made and the general
trend of affairs than any other indiv
idual in the locality. His influence is
immense, his field extensive and his
newspaper practically the only institu
tion of the kind to be found in the
vicinity.
The scarcity of large cities in this
state makes it unprofitable for the
school to train men for metropolitan
newspaper work. A vast number of
small town weeklies which could use
men of education are to be found
all over the state. Not that the pres
ent editors are not of the best to be
found but the editors of the future,
he newspapermen of the next few
years and of coming generations, must
be educated to to fill the places of
the small town newspaperman of to
day with preparation equal in their
line, to educated men in other voca
tions. Besides this, the metropolitan
papers are able to take men from the
digerent branches of their firms and
teach them the fundamentals of man-
aeinir extitine- or any other of tne
various- nhases of Journalistic work
because of the daily contact and er-
cellent practice agorded in the larger
offices This, however, cannot be
accomplished in the smal town -week
lies. The editor must be a general
business man. No special lines such
as editorials or managing for him. He
must be able to get his news, write it
print and distribute it.
It is the belief of members of the
Press Association and the committee
that men with a small amount of capi
tal and with an education in the work
of managing can take up a paper in
towns from one to five thousand in
population ivnd make it a most pro
fitable source of income. Besides, the
public life led by a newspaper man
in a small town places him in
position to know more about the needs
of the community than any other in
dividual and gives him power politi
cally which can be used to a great
advantage in any community's behalf.
One of the most important duties
to be taken up wil be a course in
Business Management of Country
Newspapers'. Mr. Lawrence of the
' Star" and formerly of the Norfolk
(Nebr.) "News" will have charge of
this work. Other branches will be
taken up also such as business law,
accounting, economics, and many of
the things which teach the modern
methods of dealing with finance and
business.
Graduates are expected to be able
to cope with the issues which coafront
larger newspapers and it is hoped
that many will be able to take up
work on the leading newspapers ot
the country, but stress is being laid
on the needs of the state, for the good
of the state, and for the benefit of
the student who wishes to take up
work on the smaller dailies or week
lies which are located in the state,
and whose problems are almost Identical.

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS
WELL RECEIVED IN
FIRST PRESENTATION
Now that the war Is over, the
French historians are tracing the
origin of the saying of the poilu
"They shall not pass and they have
finally attriibuted it to a certain in
structor at Nebraska. It appears
that it was first said by this In
r'ructor In regards to certain stud
,n's in his class
The University Players Stock Com
pany opened the season last week with
a very successful presentation of "It
Pays to Advertise." The play was
given Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings In the Temple Theater.
The play is an original Cohan and
Harris production, and was a Broad
way hit when played by Walter Hick
ett. It has a simple plot, but carina
a message mat is wen orougnt nome
to all. It is a proof of the title, "It
Pays to Advertise."
The cast was well selected, and the
presentation was one that will long be
remembered by those who saw it
Prior to opening the season the play-
was given at the Penitentiary and at
the Asylum, an opportunity being se
cured in this way to prepare a weji
polished production for the opening
nights.
Individual parts were exceptionally
well taken. As "fathers secretary,'
Miss Genevieve Addleman played her
part quite naturally. By her winning
personality she succeeded in urging
the rich son into business, to which
at first he seemed much disinclined
Mr. Herbert Yenne presented the
'lounge lizard' type of rich man's son
but later appeared as an energetic
business man. as his "father's seere
tary," pushed him onward into a life
of activity. He and his partner kept
the audience in gales of laughter, at
times. Both parts were vividly por
trayed.
Mr. Alfred Reese had the role ol an
irate father who was very desirous
that his son should go into busine&s
in order to win a bet from a rival man
ufacturer.
As the French Comtesse de Beau
rien, Miss Leone Mills proved a sue
cess. Her manner was captivating,
and 6he soon won the applause of her
audience. Well-handled minor parts'

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
Freshman Olympic preparations are
last nearing completion and final try
outs are to be held at the Delta Up-
bilon house at 7 o'clock Tuesday even
ing. Boxers will be notified later as
to when their tryouts will take place.
The men who will wrestle for the
freshmen will be chosen from the fol

Corey, Dobish. Wilcu, Holeman,
Roberts, Hall, Byers, Martin, Fitzim
nions. Smith, Perry, Thompson.
It is very essential that these men
meet promptly at the time indicated
above Tuesday night.
Final boxing tryouts will come early
in the week and individual candidates
will be notified personally when and
w here to meet. Keen competition is
expected and available material is
very good.
The relay team is not yet picked.
and it is the desire of the Olympic
commit tee that any man who can
make 100 yards in 11 seconds get in
touch with Fred Haecher of the committee.
'The success of the Olympics de

every man and woman in the class.
The time and place will be announced

A group of technical engineers met
l-riday evening for the purpose of
forming a Lincoln Chapter of the
American Association of Engineers
This organization is the most rapidly
Ki owing national engineering society
in America. It was started only four
years ago and now has a membership
of 10.000. To indicate its growth lo
cally it may be stated that in July,
1918, there were four members In Lin
coln, whereas toiluy Lincoln Is "qn the
map" with a membership of 112. This
will no doubt be Increased to 300 with
Ing the next six months.
The American Association of Engi
neers is organized for the purpose of
benefiting the public in general as
well as the engineer himself. For
many years it has been charged that
the technical engineer has been quite
indifferent to all questions outside of
bis own professional sphere, but 'his
will soon no longer be true, for cngl
neers as a body are beginning to real
ize their obligations to the people of
their community, lnce the engineer is
educated largely at public expense the
taxpayers especially have the right to
expect to have engineering counsel
represented in its civic bodies as well
ns that of the banker, merchant and
lawyer.
As a citizen the engineer should'al
so be expected to lend his talent for
the good of the state in considering
carefully and offering sound advice on
proposed legislative measures involv
ing matters of an engineering nature.
The American Association of Engi
neers is in fact the people's assurance
on matters engineering.
At the meeting Professor R. E. Da
vis, in charge of railroad engineering
at the University, was elected tempo
rary chairman; Mr. Andrews, C. B. &
Q. Railway, secretary-treasurer, and
Mr. Utter, engineering department, C.
B. & Q., chairman of membership
committee.

ALL-UNIVERSITY
PARTY EVENING OF
HOME-COMING GAME
Preparation Is well under way tor
the home-coming party to be held in
the Armory, November 15. the even
ing of the Kansas-Nebraski game.
Committees for this al! university
event are hard at work and indica
tions are that this party will b-j one of
the most successful of the year.
The home-coming party, which Is an
annual event, comes at an Ideal time,
as many alumni as can return to their
alma mater this day. Old friendships
are revived and new ones made at this
sociable gathering. A big crowd is
expected and preparations are being
made for the biggest party the school
has ever had. An excellent program
is being arranged and the refresn-
raents are to be the best that money
can buy. The music, although not ai-
leady engaged, is to be good, and a
super-excellent time is assured all who
attend.
A better time could be arranged for
this party than the night of the home
coming game, for pep and enthusiasm
will reach the limit that day. The
morning will be taken, up with the an
nual freshman-sophomore scrap, the
Olympics, and the Kansas teuni plays
the varsity in the afternoon.
The following is the reception com
mittee for the party: Charles Spacnt,
Bessie Gund (joint chairmen), Ethlyn
Druse, Ruth Walker, Ruth Fickes,
Helen Martin, Gladys Kleinke, Mar
garet Osborn, Margaret Baldwin, Wil
liam Brigance, Frank Potter, Roy
Whitam, Lyle McBride, G. S. Salter,
Paul Cook, Joel Burkett.

Student Government Becoming
Well Established at Nebraska
Student Council s rowers are
Definite and Far Reaching
in Their Scope
Step by step the University of Ne
braska is establishing student govern
ment. A government of the students
by the students could not be created
in a single semester, nor in a single
year, but only by a careful and grad
ual process. The adoption of the Stu
dent Council constitution on May 25,
1917, by a vote of the student bouy
merely marked the beginning of stu
dent government at Nebraska. It may-
take a college generation to fully es
tablish this modern form of govern
ment in this university, but certain it
is that great strides have been made
this semester in making student con
trol feasible.
After the constitution was accepted
in the spring of 1917 nothing was aone
to put its rulings into effect until the
spring of 1919 because of the abnor
mal conditions existing due to the
late war. But on May 6. 1919, the
first regular Student Council election
was held. The present members of
the council were chosen at this elec
tion and will hold office for the year
1919-20.
Purpose
The purpose of the council is not 10
take any functions of organizations
already existing, or to compete with
them in any way. It concerns itself
with matters that affect the students
as a whole, with all extra-curriculum
activities, and leaves previously ex
isting bodies to continue in their for
mer activities. It is the medium by
which students can give expression to
their wants and objections. It Is
the medium by which students can
give expression to their wants and ob
jections' It Is the sounding board that
reHects the voice of each and every
student and It la the Instrument mat
ers are not abused.
When the present Student Council
constitution was adopted, along wan
the acceptance of student government,
there necessarily came also responsi
bility. A university cannot receive
student government without at the
same time receiving a grave respon
sibility. It is that kind of responsibil
ity that bears with it accountability.
Unless the student body can account
favorably to higher authorities i-or
what has been accomplished by stu
dent government then they have not
lived up to their trust.
Powers
Not only did the students accept the
constitution for student government.
but also the. university senate ap-
rn.ved it. This means that the auth
orises, the regents, the executives,
are supporting the Student Council.
They have offered means and methods
for upholding and if necessary for en
forcing the councils actions. Until
very recently a committee called the
Student Affairs Committee, composed
of nine members of the university sen
ate, had powers to deal with general
student activities. They have now
given over all of their power that has
to do with extra-curriculum matters
to the council. This faculty commit
tee now deals only with matters af
fecting the curriculum and enforce
ment1 of regulations. The council, ot
course, has nothing to do with rule en
forcement.
Rules and actions of the Stuui-u-
Council are effective when approved
by the Faculty committee. This is
merely a means of putting the official
stamp on all rulings and serves as a
check In case of some very extreme or
unreasonable actions on the part of
the council. Power has to be centered
In some official hands and it is un
derstood that actions referred to this
committee, will be considered ap
proved unl-ss specifically vetoed. In
that case the matter will be taken to
background.
Dale and Newman Stars
Fred Dale, with his 205 pounds oi
Cornhusker beef, was the shining light
of Nebraska's first 1919 gridiron vie
tory. Time and again tne migmy
Cornhusker fullback hurled against
the Tiger line, which crumpled and
fell before his vicious attack. Dale's
smashing tactics, coupled with the
brilliant runs or Stan Henry wore
largely responsible for the CornliUaKer
victory. The work of Dick Newman
al quarter back was another feature
of the game. Newman proved iuii
self an able general and will probably
be stationed permanently at the cngi
neer's position.
Nebraska s first score came etny
in the second quarter. Dale executed
a brilliant run for 32 yards, placing
the ball on Missouri's 23 yard line
where the Tigers held and puiuea
Russell and Henry hit the lino for
11 yards and on the next play Heniy
skirted the Tiger left end for 26 yards
and a touchdown. Young missed the
goal. The Huskers scored again in
the third period when Newman fhppei.
a neat forward pass to Dale and the
husky Nebbraskan galloped 38 yards
to the Tiger goal line.
The Tiger scores both came in .ie
