Homeward Bound Students
Greet Approaching Holidays
Railroad Stations seem to be very
popular with university students this
week. If students are not leaving,
they are buying their tickets to insure,
at least, a portion of a seat in a
crowded coach. Parades seem to be
in evidence on all hands, for as soon
as classes are over, and sometimes be
fore, students may be seen making
tin exodus toward the trains, caiylng
suitcases, laundry boxes, and enough
bundles and packages to insure their
families a prosperous Christmas. The
smiles which accompany the long
strides of the men, and the short,
manp hobble-steps of the women, leave
oubt in the mind dt th watcher
that "home and mother" Is the des
tination of the wayfarer, and that
books are already forgotten.
Last Christmas conditions were still
unsettled. but this year finds
more money spent than at any time
before. Many mllllonst of crisp new
dollar bills are handed to New York
shop-keepers each day. Laz' year

ZIMINKIE TELLS
ENGINEERS OF PLANS
FOR NEW CAPITOL
O. H. Zumwinkle, Secretary of
New State House Commission,
Talks to Students.
The Engineers' convocation, held
under the auspices of the American
Association of Engineers- was aa
dressed by Mr. O. H- Zumwinkle sec
retary of the New State House Com
mission. Mr. Zumwinkle has been
Uraring the different states with the
commission, visiting the different
state capitols, and gathering plans for
a new state i.ouse at Lincoln. He
emphasized the necessity of giving
to Nebraska a beautiful ns well as
p substantial official residence. The
deplorable lack of interest, on the part
of the people in projects of this soil
has lead to the erection or pubitc
buildings that are not only unworthy
of the commonwealth they represent
but are a positive disgrace and a re
flection on the system of government.
No one thing that Nebraska can do
will so impress visitor with her im
portance, her prosperity and her
boundless opportunities, as tne erec
tion of a state capitol building, ar
tistically and structurally worthy or
her. Every public spirited citizen of
the state of Nebraska should bo in
terested in and have some tcnowleags
of this new capitol. Every engineer
within the state should consider it
his duty as a citizen to have some
knowledge of the technical details
and plans of the propesed structure.
Only with this sort of cooperation and

Classes are beginning to look like

the coal shortage made It necessaiy to
close school two days earlier than
the schedule dictated. Lincoln ts be

has gone home to visit its parents.

Impossible for them to spend the

go to near-by towns with friends for

been offered holiday positions in Lin

THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION CONSIDERS
COMPULSORY EDUCATION
The committee on education. Nye
of Buffiilo. chairman, met Wednesday
i'.rternoon and listened to Wilbcr F.
Bryant of Cedar in support of his pro
posal No. 20 relating to compulsory
education. It developed that there is
not a great deal of difference be
tween the present constitution ana
the proposed amendments, fhe pres
ent mnstiiution. Section 6. article
8 says: "The legislature shall pro
vide for the free instruction in the
common school of this .nte ol alt
persons between the ages of five ana
twenty-one years." Undej this pro
visinn the legislature had enacted
compulsory education laws, with son!
exceptions as to persons, but at the
last session the legislature passed an
act that in effect takes certain con
trol of denominational and parochial
schools and really classes them 'as
common schools. Mr. Bryant woulrt
limit, the maximum -se to eighteen.
Mr. Bryant's proposed amendment
reads: "The legislature shall provide
for the free instruction and universal
eomnulsory education in the common
schools of the state of all children
from five years upward until each
child has completed the eighth grade
or failed because of mental deficiency.
Compulsory attendance upon the com
mon schools shall not extend beyond
the age of eighteen years."
When Mr. Bryant was asked what
practical effect his amendment woulrt
have he admitted that it might com
pel attendance at common schools, yet
he contended that it is possible and
had been so demonstrated in his-dis-tricl
that a church school could be
operated in such a way that children
could go to both common schools and
church schools and keep up in their
studies. He cited one church school
of this kind where he said it had bee?,
running for a generation, and it had
resulted in a community of exception
ally good people. ' He preferred to
have this amendment submitted to the
people as a separate proposition.
One member of the committee sug
gested that the legislature has powei
under the present constitution to ex
act all needed legislation in regard tu
compulsory education.
About Sectarian instruction
Mr. Bryant also presented to the
committee proposal No. 23, which
seeks to define sectarian instruclloi..
Such instruction is prohibited in pub
lic schools or state institutions sup
ported in part or wholly by fund3 sei
aside for education, but no definition
of instruction of this kind Is attempt
ed In the present constitution. Mr.
Bryant's amendment reads:
"No sectarian instruction shall be
allowed in any school or institution
supported wholly or in part by the
rublic funds set apart for educational
purposes; nor shall the state acept.
any grant, conveyance or bequest of
money, lands or other property tc be
used for sectarian purposes. The
used for sectarian purposes. The
word 'sectarian,' as used in this sec
tion, is descriptive of the doctrines
and practices of any church, denomin
ation or cult, specie or comprehensive,
but It is not descriptive of the belief
in one self-existed and self-con3cious
God the essential basis of all relig
ion nor of natural religion nor ot
social ethics."

sectarian instruction shall be alloweu
in any school or institution supported

Maroon Opponents Completely
Outclassed in all Departments
Nebraska Winning 39-9.
Repeating their feat of Wednesday
Schlsler's crack basket flippers
grabbed the second game from Morn
Ingside yesterday by a score of 39 to
9. At no time throughout the one-sided
contest did the Maroons have a
look-in. B.i-.u.g only two field 5oals
during the enure game. RU8Sei, patty
and Munn were the chie, BTOrers for
the Huskers, each nabbing three conn
ters. Scblssler again played his three
teams and the Maroons were power
less against all of them.
The bleachers in the Armory were
only partially filled, the crowd being
much smaller than the tarn-out hich
greeted the Huskers in the openins
day fray Wednesday. The size of the
crowds which the Mornlngside games
have drawn, however, propheslep
packed houses for the big games
which come later In the season.
Russell and Smith, forwards, Be
kins, center, and Newman ana Bauey,
guards, started the Bnme for Nebras
ka. This quintette held the floor for
the greater part of the first half. Three
baskets were credited to Russell, one
to Smith, and one to Bailey. Near the
end of the first period Schissler sent
Patty and Hussey to the forward posi
tions, Jungmeyer to center, and Payn
ter and Captain Schelenberg to the
guards. Of this combination, Patty led
in the scoring with three goals, Payn
ter registered two, and Hussey, one.
Completely Outplay Morningside
The Huskers excelled their Iowa
opponents in every department of the
jjame. 'the team work of the three
Nebraska teams was excellent, and all
shots at the basket were well followed
in. Schellenberg and Paynter piayeu
the guard positions exceedingly well,
covering the opposing forces at all
times. Very few chances at the bas
ket were given the Maroons and only
two of these resulted in counters. Five
foul goals were hung up by the Ma
roons, Weinig making four and
Fouke one. At the end or tne first
half the Huskers led 15-5.
No change was apparent in the Hus
ker lineup when the teams squared
off at the start of the second period,
but before the end of the game, a
third bunch of Cornhuskers were sent
into the battle. Collins and Pickett
played the forwards, Stromer and Ho
warth, the guards, and Munri re
mained at Center. Six points wen
gathered by this last contribution, Col
lins grabbing two field goals ana
Pickett two foul goals. Wenig, Rora
baugh, and Clapper exhibited the best
brand of basketball for the visitors.
Fifteen expert basket tossers have
participated in the first two games on
the Husker schedule and Schissler
has been able to olKain a definite
lineup on the ability of each man on
the Varsity squad. Each has been
given his chance 1o play m.a regular
game and slnw his basketball abili
ty. The team bids fair to become an
excellent basket quintet and the next
two games, plaed with South Dakota
at Lincoln, January 9 and 10, will givo
the Huskers an opportunity to match
their skill with that of one of the
strong teams in the West.
