The campaign was natlon-wiuo
Three days after the death of Colonel
Roosevelt. January 6. 1919. at a meet
ins held In Chicago, there was author
ized the appointment of a Roosevelt
Memorial committee which should
take upon Itself the task of securing
a fitting national memorial to the for
mer president. Colonel William Boyce
Thompsen was named as chairman
and men" and women, friends and
close associates of Colonel Roosevelt
were subsequently selected to form
the Roosevelt Permanent committee,
The campaign was to raise $5,000,
000 to build a monument In Washing
ton, D. C, and to preserve the Roo
sevelt home at Oyster Bay.
The "drive" was to be different. lor
no on was to be urged to contrimiie
against his or her will and no pi ess
ure whatever was to be brought 10
bear to secure contributions, 'either
large or small. The committee was
of the unanimous opinion that the nec
essary funds be a free will gift and
a voluntary expression of gratrtuae
to the great American who so nopiy
served his country and his people In
war and peace.
Amerfca honors Roosevelt for his
manly qualities of courage, energy,
unselfish service, love of country,
r.ess, wisdom and fearless fighting,
honor and square dealing, righteous-
His memory is a coi.mion neraage of
f.ll Americans.
The Black Masque started the cam
paign by selling tags to assist in rais
ing the university's quota. Tags sold
for ten cents and upwards with the
hope that all might have a purl in
honoring the great American.
Major General Leonard Wood ad
t'lessed an enthusiastic audience at
the city auditorium during the cam
paign. His talk was one dealing with
the intimate life of Colonel Roosevelt
for Majci Wood and Colonel Roose
velt were close friends In puMic ana
private life during the Spanish war.
Regent Frank N. Judson speaking
on "The Life of Roosevelt" at cou.vr
cation was a most fitting climax for
the tfectlve student and faculty or

IF COAL STRIKES
ARE TROUBLESOME
USE SUN POWER
In "The Forbidden Trail," by hon
ore Wlllsie, Just published by Stokes,
there is an Interesting discussion of
sun power and Its use In the great
southwest in place of coal. Mrs. Will
sie ought to know what she Is writing
about, for her husband, Henry E. Wlll
sie, a mechanical and electrical engi
neer, is an inventor of high standing
and has produced a machine that is
capable of developing high horse pow
er from the sun alone at a cost .uti
would make It necessary for coal to
be sold at sixty-six cents per ton to
compete with It The discoveries made
by Mr. Wlllsie in regard to sun power
have been Introduced Into engineering
text books.
Mrs. W Elsie's new novel tells a

It is a big book, written with all the

EXCHANGE OF GUESTS
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
Many New Acquaintances Are
eing Made etween Frater
nity Men
The second Inter-fraternity ex
change of men for dinner on Tuesday
evenings was even more successmi
than the initial exchange two weeks
ago had indicated. Nearly 150 nen
went forth last evening from all twen-
tv-one fraternities to meet and be
come acquainted with men from oiher
"houses." This year there are ap
proximately forty men In eacn frater
nity and this will give the selected vis
itor an opportunity to widen his ac
quaintance to that extent every ;;me
he pays another fraternity a Tuesoay
night visit.
Last week due to the Armistice day
program provided for the ex-soldiers
by the people of Lincoln, this exchange
of guests w-as postponed, but it will
continue every week now without in
terruption during the regular sessions
this school year.
A mighty step toward campus dera
ocracy is this interchange of represen
tative college men. Perhaps one wut.i
never encounter even one member of
a certain other fraternity on the
campus, but because of this original
plan, each man becomes acquainted
with the members of the whole chap
ter. There will be no preference in send
ing the men to the different nou..
Every man will be given the chance
tc attend dinner at another "house"
within certain intervals of perhaps
four or five weeks, depending upon
the size of his own chapter.
Fraternity presidents are urged to
select sophomores and freshmen es
pecially to make the exchange. They
re the men who need to broaden
their acquaintance on the campus as
well as in the fraternity circle. If
they become acquainted their first or
second year in the university the :est
of their college life will be smooth
sailing.
A tentative outline and schedule
has been made which shows exactly
the fraternity house to be visited
each week. '
That this plan for a more extensive
campus democracy will succeed at
the end of the year goes without say
ing. If the enthusiasm that has been
manifested the first two nights of ex
change continues throut the semes
ter, it will soon be an oddity for one
to pass down .a campus walk without
speaking to every passing man who
wears a fraternity pin.
REDUCE HIGH COST LIVING
At the International Live Stock Ex
position in Chicago, the first week of
December, an interesting course in
Home Economics will be given under
the direction of Catharine J. Ma'cKay,
dean of the Home Economics Depart
ment of the Iowa State 'College.
This department, always Interesting,
will provide instruction concerning the
cooking and preparation of the cheap-
and coarser cuts of meats whicn
have, to a certain extent, been neg
lected by the American housewife,
whose training has not been with a
view to utilization of portions of the
carcass that during the period of beef,
pork and mutton plentltude were not
seriously regarded by many house
keepers. She will also help to sove
the servant problem and show how to
reduce the high cost of living.
The Home Economics Department
the 1919 International win be one
its most valuable features. The
best talent available has be- secured
and those who attend win b abund
antly rewarded.

TELLS OF FAR EAST
Former Student is Preparing for
Work as Y. W. 0. A.
Secretary
Kiliel Hartley, who graduated from
Nebraska In 1917, writes from Pekln,
China, where she Is attending the Pe
kin Language School. Sho Is prepar
ing for her duties as a Y. W. C. A.
secretary. She writes that she likes
I ( kin and that It is even more excit
ing than Washington.
Miss Hartley made the trip to the
Orient with a party of secretaries
and a most delightful time was en
Joyed by the girls shopping in tne
laminating little shops in ricsha
liiles, tiffin in a real Chinese home
with a hostess In tiny bound feet
who could not speak a word of Eng
lish and little suppers in Japanese
gardens in Toklo, whoso patrons are
required to remove their shoes m.
fore entering. The girls cooked tlielr
own supper which consisted of steak
sliced very thin, shredded cabbago
and onion over the charcoals whrch
filled three little Iron holes In the
table. They sat on the floor in trim
about Nagasaki:
"Another brilliant day. We pulled
into the harbor of Nagasaki arou'
noon after riding through the most
wonderful mountainous islands scat
tered in a green sea, with a lovely blue
sky overhead. While we waited for
the launch to come to take us to shore
we watched the coaling process. It Is
Mill going on now, eight hours late,
and I expect will continue untit mid
night. Nagasaki is the greatest coal
ing station in the world. The flat
barges crowd up to the boat in a group
of seven or eight and about twenty-
five men and women on top with their
little straw baskets the women luve
Japanese towels tied over their heads
that is about the only way you
can tell them from the men luvy
all work at equally heavy tasks. We
spent our afternoon wandering down
one long crooked street after ano'her.
The people in the streets are the mum
interesting. I wish you could hear
the clatter of the wooden heels on
their straw sandals down the asphalt
street. There are no sidewalks in
Nagasaki and those in Yokohoma
w ern't used, for the streets were clean
er than the sidewalks.
"Eight of us went to a real Chi
nese meal in Peking the other night
and all ate out of the general dish
in true Chinese fashion. These are
some of the foods which came on
the table so fast we couldn't separ

New Scenery For Temple
is Ambition of'Les Follies"
Dramatic Club Will Provide Eve
ning of Fun at Annual
Musical Comedy Sat
urday Night
Since the days when the university
and John D. Rockefeller combined to
build the Temple building, the eys of
passing student generations have
watched the efforts of all university-
dramatists and would-be or to-be dra
matists, before practically the same
set of antiquated scenery. The same
"tormenters" have tormented the eyes
of those who have watched Ham i
and Xantippe exit by the same dilapi
dated stage doors.
Lately some changes have been
made for the better and the old scen
ery has received a new coat of paint
and has bloomed forth as an enuic; .
difffferent room in the same flat. Pro
perties and scenery are as essential
to successful dramatic productions as
lines and actors, those who ought to
know say. and the University Diam-
atic Club, particularly interested now,
because of the lack of any legitimate
theater in Lincoln, In making the Tem
ple a theater for the patronage of both
the university and the city patrons,
has undertaken to raise funds for the
introduction of an entirely new wooc
land glade and an entirely different in
terpretation of "Time present place
drawing-room."
That it is declared, is the primary
financial object of the musical comedy
production which Is to be staged there
Saturday night. The second and pure
ly social object is to create as much
harmless amusement as possible i
the expense of as many well-known
university people, faculty Included, as
can be dragged Into the liroeltgnt.
"Lea Follies." annual prodtKJoa
given by the Dramatic Club each fall,
makes no claim on the serious-tn index!.
It Is an evening of rollicking fun, noth
PLANS TO ENLARGE
ATHLETIC PROGRAM
System Explained Which Permits
Larger Number of Stud
enta to Take Part
in Sports
Champaign. III. Competition In all
around athletics, In which over 1200
students took an active part last year
will be revived this year on a more
extensive basis than ever before. The
authorities in charge hope to have
nearly every male student In the uni
versity take part In at least one of the
five different sections of the system.
Try-outs In tho antagonistic and
the gymnastic sections will be held
between 9 and 12 o'clock on Friday
ind Saturday of the week. AH those
who wish to enter the competition
vill report to A. J. Schuettner, director
of the men's gym. at any time dining
these two periods for further Instruc
tion. Three Classes of Boxing
The antagonistic section includes
boxing, wrestling, nnd fencing. Box
Ing is further divided into three class
es, each representing a different num
ber of points, and it is therefore not
necessary, as many think, to beat your
opponent before receiving any paints
in this branch of sport. For that mat
ten the man who loses the bout may
receive as many points as the man
who wins, for scores are judged ou
ability, aggressiveness and sportsman
ship and not merely as the result ol
a knock-out or the like.
A man may receive five points for
willingness to participate in a one
minute round, and for ability to use
one blow (straight punch, jab, hook,
swing, etc.) and one defense (blocking,
slipping, side-steppinng. etc.) in this
one minute round. To receive 3een
points, a man must demonstrate ana
use three blows and three defenses in
a one minute bout. In order to get
ten points, the highest awarded in this
branch, the competitor must ham
fair knowledge of the sport for he
must demonstrate and use five differ
ent kinds of blows and defenses in
a two round bout with one minute in
termission. Wrestling Also Divided
Wrestling and fencing are also di
vided into three classes, according to
the abilities of the competitor, and a
man may receive either five, seven or
ten points 5n these events.
The gymnastiV: section, including
chinning, dipping, hand vault, dive
and roll, free exercises, and appaiatus
exercises, is also subdivided so that
every man is sure of getting at least
a few points in every branch.

ing else. The music will be new, the
stage effects surprising, the girls
pretty and the jokes comparatively
new. Posters that appear on the cam
pus today show some of the people
taking important parts and give tome
idea of what may be expected Satur
day night when the curtain goes up
and stays up for two hours of merri
ment. As in the case of the "Follies' oi
theatrical fame, the show is not a vau
deville series, but one continuous con
glomeration of variety, erman Thom
as is the collegiate Raymond Hivb
coc', director of the show as produce J.
George Bushnell, who is directing tne
chorus of university glrlo, ha a num
ber of surprises that have not been
included on the official progrsms. Iler
beit Yenne with his dancing chorus of
men still refuses to divulg-j the names
of those taking p?rt in his offering.
The double object of raising money
for stage scenery and of furnishing an
evening of fun that is local in cmor
and applicable particularly to college
activities, has prompted the club to
p'an on the regular production f a
road show and musical comedy comM
nation and to name the same, "Les
Follies." A full cast and the parts'
each may be expected to take will be
made public Thursday.
The university French department
took the sign painted and the adver
tising boosters to task for the spelling
of the sign now placed near University
hall. They declare that the na' Is
French, but the "Follies" Is strictly
English and that the combination Is
not common In the best linguistic cir
cles. When asked concerning this the
one most responsible for the produc
tion declared that Inasmuch- aa tne
show was entirely different, the ad
vertising woald refuse to follow any
set rules, even grammatical, and that
as far as the a" was concerned taa
show would be a "La-La" anyway.

MISS HOWELL TELLS
OF JAR EXPERIENCES
Professor of Dramatic Art Spent
Fifteen Months Overseas
as Canteen Worker
Professor Atice Howell delivered
the second of a series of addresses
touching the war at Convocation In
Memorial hall yesterday morning. Her
subject was. "My Experience in
France." Her address in brief Is as
follows:
"It is quite fitting after fifteen
months of service abroad to have my
service record laid bare. It does
little to do credit to Uiis University.
You have heard of the splendid
achievements of Dr. Fling. Professors
Grant and Fogg. But I bring not
even a laurel leat I was a doughnut
maker. It is with great reluctance
that I tell you that I was arrested as
a German spy.
"On the eve of July 4, when the
kakai sighted the lighthouse a cheer
arose as land was sighted. After over
two weeks of sailing during which
time we were not separated from our
life-boats day nor night, we sighted
land. A mighty cheer arose as the
stars and stripes floated from our
mast. Already the flag we had loved
so well before was taking a deeper
significance. To celebrate Independ
ence Day France was decked with
flags of all allied nations."
"The frontier to which I was as
signed with its red tile roofed houses
must have looked tranquil in time of
peace. The trains were loaded with
100,000 soldiers. A great Y. M. C. A.
canteen. Red Cross canteen, and eight
base hospitals were located here.
"Many Nebraska boys passed
through among whom were Fowler,
Tim Corey, Earl Jackson, Bert Tay
lor." Miss Howell uttered words of
praise for all of these boys. "Ne
braska may well be proud of the men
who went to France. America may
well be proud of the men who went
to France."
"It was my privilege to be in France
on victory day. To my mind this was
c wonderful day but July 14, 1918
was more wonderful as the allied
troops marched through Paris to the
front where the German war cloud
was hanging. These men were
checked by the Americans." She
then related the work of the different
divisions in checking this advance.
"When seventeen months ago Pro
fessor Reed bid me Godspeed to
France I felt that the greatest hour
of my life had been passed through.
But I later found there was to be a
greater. This was my privilege to be
with those who were working for our
American soldiers. It was a wonder
ful experience to see the American
man at his greatest. In the crisis of
life they had been brave, strong and
true. We did what we could for
them. We got him what he wanted
because those at home, through sac
rifice had made it possible. What
message shall this bring to you? I
hope America will not forget these
boys."

ery student who has had any track ex
perience whatever or who is in any
way interested in track work, to ap
ply for equipment and start working
at once.
A wealth of good material is at
hand, around which Schulte can build
a wonderful track team, but a team
which can depend on only one man
for each event cannot be a winner. It
is the team which has five or six com
petent starters for every race that
brings home the most trophies. As
far as Individual stars are (concerned,
the Cornhusker school is in no way
handicapped.
Griffith R. "Squirt" wen is one of
the veteran track performers who will
return to school the second semester
and join Schulte's squad. Owen has
only recently been discharged from
the service, but has given word that
he will be here early in 1920. "Squiri"
is a dash man of rare ability, running
the hundred in 10:1 and the two hun
dred and twenty yards in 22:2 in his
last Missouri Valley meet It was in
this same meet that he started the
last lap of the mile relay with a 15-
yard handicap and ran the greater part
of the course w ith one shoe gone and
beating his opponent to the tape. After
the race he was taken to a hospital
and many cinders were picked from
