NEW SYSTEM WILL
REDUCE NUMBER OF
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
Examinations will come more of
ten but there will be fewer of them
if the Quarter System, which is under
advisement of the. Quarter System
Committee, is adopted. The new sys
tem will reduce the number of sub
jects taken by each student and hence
will lessen the number of examina
tions in each of the courses. The new
system is being considered by the de
partmental chairman in collaboration
with the Quarter System Committee.
Under the proposed revision of stu
dies there will be four quarters in
stead of two semesters in the school
year. The quarters will be twelve
weeks each and will extend as fol
lows: First or Autumn Quarter will
begin alxnit September 15 and extend
to about December 1.; Second or
Winter Quarter will begin about De
cember 1 and extend to about Mareb
1 with one week intermission be
tween December 22 and 29. Tim third
or Spring Quarter to begin about one
week after the end of the Winter quar
ter and to extend until about June 1.
Commencement to take place the fol
lowing week; the fourth or Summer
quarter to begin the same week as
Commencement and to extend until
about August 20. this quarter to be
divided into two equal terms.
The courses are to be organized
on a point system, points and half
points to be given in place of the hour
credits as used at present. One point
will be equivalent of 5 hours of class
or laboratory work carried for one
quarter. One-half point will be the
equivalent of half the work of a point
course carried for one quarter cr in
case of the summer quarter, for one
five hour course carried for a six
week term. Two half points will
equal one point. Thirty-six points
in addition to drill and physical edu
cation will be required for graduation.
This is equivalent to 120 hours on

the toast list has been disposed of.
music by the Rag-a-Jazz orchestra and
vocal "ditties" by the University Quar
tet will top the evening's fun.
If the affair Is to be what it has
been in days gone by every ticket
must be sold, and every man must be
present to enter into the spirit of the
-occasion. The aim of the banquet is
not only to honor the members of last
season's gridiron team, but to imbue
into every university man the true Corn
husker spirit which has been so char
acteristic of Nebraskans since the be
ginning of the school. The freshmen
especially should be aroused to the
recognition of the spirit of their alma
mater. Members of the class of 1923
still have to learn the secrets of true
Cornhusker feeling and enthusiasm.
This they will learn in a bigger way
Friday night than they have learned
In the months which they hare spent
a the university. Every man actively
connected with the university should
uphold tradition Friday nlgnt and at
tend the banquet at the Lincoln.

BISHOP STUNTZ ALL
DAY AT UNIVERSITY
Speaks at Convocation, Faculty
Luncheon and Student
Banquet.
Bishop Homer C. Stuntz, one ot the
recognized religious leaders of the
world, spent a busy day at the univer
sity Tuesday, making three speeches
and confering with students in the af
ternoon. He addressed convocation
in the morning on the subject, "The
World's Need for Moral Leadership."
At noon he spoke at a faculty lunch
eon at the Grand Hotel and in the
evening addressed two hundred stud
ents St a banquet.- ,
At the convocation Bishop Stuntz in
his opening sentence emphatically
said that beyond ail other needs, the
crying need of the hour is the need
for moral leadership. He said that
his work called him to all parts of '
world, India, China, the islands of the
sea and elsewhere and then slated
that "Wherever I have been privil
eged to live, moral leadership is the
supreme need. Look at our own coun
try. Since the days of Winthrop was
there ever so much unrest and sim
mering beneath the surface? When
before have we exported dangerous
aliens and advocates of IDolshevik
doctrines?" Bishop Stuntz continued
in part:
"No political bargaining will ever
solve our difficulties. They are too
deep; loo fundamental. Selfish in
terest against selfish interest will nev
er make progress. Now look at George
Washington. He was deeply relig
ious. De you remember reading how
he spent hours in prayer with the
troops at Valley Forge? He, with
fine altruism, pledged all to the
cause against the mother country.
"Every man must have a lofty ideal
and live up to it. Some of you have
probably seen the great monument to
American heroes at Saratoga Springs,
New York. One sWe of the monu
ment is blank. Here should have been
the face of Benedict Arnold, who gave
up his leadership and renouncd the
faiih and ideals that he possessed, at
the crucial moment. Never did we
need leadership more than now!
Praises Ex-Soldiers
"I'm proud of the young meu who
gave themselves to the great cause
In this world war. That struggle is
over; but the battle for international
leadership among men is yet to be
won. If you doubt it, cast your eyes
down the Potomac to Washington.
There, all is squabbling. The na'ions
were not at the Peace Conference for
the moral good which they were to de
rive from it, but to get for themselves
more lands, more possessions, more
power. If George Washington were
alive he would speak another mess
age on foreign entanglements to the
American people. Monarchist despo
tism is trying its best to save its neck
right now, and kings are chopping
wood for a llvlihood.

USED AGAINST NEBRASKA

By Orvin B. Gaston
Hastings Xehr.. Jan. U-PlayinK two
ifferent teams, the Nebraska lm.t
flippers continued their winning streak
and registered their fifth win here this
afternoon. They met the Hastings
All-Star aggregation the first half of
the game and rolled up a 21 to fi score
against the Hastings hoopsters. When
the second half started the Hastings
College quintet took the floor against
the rampaging Huskers and Schlssler's
team took tlie measure of the colleg
ians to the tune of a 26 to 3 score,
making the total count 47 to 9 in
favor of the Cornhuskers.
The Huskers were supreme at all
times throughout the entire game,
completely outclassing both Hastings
teams in every phase of the court
game. The college' team was unable
to gather more than one free throw.
The famous All-Star five, composed of
season veterans was helpless against
the lightning-like tactics of the Corn
huskers. Coach Schissler used all twelve of
the men who made the trip. "String"
Jungmeyer, lanky Husker center, lead
in the scoring with five baskets. Bob
Russell and Jesse Patty each gathered
tour counters and Austin Smith hung
up three.
The Cornhusker squad departed to
night via the Burlington for Colorado
Springs where they are scheduled to
play a pair of games with the fast
Colorado College five.' Prom there
they go to Boulder to meet the Uni
versity of Colorado team in two
games.

SOUTH DAKOTA IN
LINCOLN NEXT FALL
A game with the University of
South Dakota to be played at Lincoln

This game completely fills the 1920
Cornhusker football schedule. The
ast time South Dakota and Nebraska
clashed the final score was a tie, al
though the Nebraska team was n
hampionship team that year.
