Dr. Holmes Speaker '
at Vespers Tuesday
"The preacher is the dentist that
fills the cavities of the soul," said
Dr. Holmes in his talk on "The Stu
dent and the Church" at espers, Tuea
day, November 16. He spoke In view
of the fact that next Sunday Is church

ary of the arrival of the Pilgrims to
North America, though they did not

ber 21.
Dr. Holmes believes that now is the
time for the student to attend church
because young people are willing to
receive the truth and Christian In
fluences while the minds of persons of
middle age are more or less set In
their ways. If the church does not
take Its place in the young person's
life now It will probably never do bo;
It prepares more for life than any
study In college.
"My idea of the Sabbath is one be

ARTS AND SCIENCE
CONVOCATION HELD
Aims and Purposes Presented to All
Students In Meeting Wednes
day Morning.
Alius and the purposes of the Arts
and Science College of the Univer
sity, were discussed at a special con
vocation of students and faculty or
that college, yesterday morning at 11
o'clock In the Temple theater. This
was the first time the members of
the Arts College had been gathered
together In ten years.
Dean J'hllo M. Buck, Dean of the
Arts and Science College, was the
first speaker. Mr. Buck gave In a
general way, the functions and im
portance of his college. "The pro
gram In the Arts College," ' he said,
"is not laid out in the same clear-cut
precision as it is in the other col
leges of the University. Because or
this uncertainty and vagueness in the
aim. I think it is a good thing to have
the faculty and students gathered to
gether so that it can be more clearly
understood.
"The teaching of students to ac
quire the habit of disinterested, clear
thinking, is the fundamental purpose
of the Arts and Science College. The
universities of various countries have
been the leaders of progress, in thlnk
'ng matters. Has the University ot
Nebraska an intelligent atmosphere
which encourages mass thinking so
there is co-operation between students
and faculty? We should have more
convocations to help stimulate this
ideal."
"The Needs of Science" was the
subject discussed by Chancellor
Avery. "A certain amount of science
is essential to hte equipment of an
educated man or woman," the Chan
cellor said, "and the Arts College do
the sen-Ice work In preparing the
students before they enter the tech
nical colleges. It gives the funda
mental and basic principles, upon
which the technical colleges build
tlieir courses. Development of science
iPiids toward inventions and new
Ideas; and scientific ideas are pushed
forward by the Arts and Science Col
lege. Students or the Arts Colleges
have been the pioneers in the dis
covering of new ideas and methods,
which they have turned over to the
technical school to work out and
develop."

Order of the Clipped Fleece
Makes its Debut among Co-Eds
Clip, clip, go the scissors and the
long heavy tresses rail to the floor.
She touches her head curiously for
she lias bobbed her hair. She glances
at her long locks lying discarded on
the floor and then in the mirror at
her changed appearance. We wonder
If, after the bob is over, she does not
have a feeling or regret and perhaps
shed a few tears. But if she does, she
does not show it and tossing her
head defiantly, she murmurs that it is
so much more easily taken care of.
Perhaps there are many more who
would like to try It, but lack the
courage or their convictions or per
haps they are afraid to face their
fond parents. Perhaps they have
heard their brothers condemn and
disapprove of this fashion. These
more timid souls spend hours attempt
ing to imitate the style of their more
courageous sisters and with Intricate
movements and critical eyes they pro
duce the desired result.
One wonders why the co-ed so
enthusiastic over their bobbed hair,
so thankful that they will have no
more worry and fuBB do not start a
club. As the society or Clipped Fleece
perhaps they might be recognized as
an understudy or younger sister of
the other unique clubs in the Univer
sity ror surely they are bound to
gether by a common bond or courage
and distinctiveness.

The feature athletic section or the
1921 Cornhusker promises to be the
most complete sports section that has
ever appeared In a Cornhusker. Vari
ous features and, innovations have,
been adopted by the 1921 staff which
will make the athletic section an out
standing department of the book.
The title pages of each department
of athletics are to be in colors, In
stead of the plain one color pages
which has been used heretofore. A
professional artist has been employed
to make-these drawings and they will
offset each Bectlon in a remarkable
manner.

The 1921 staff ias taken great
pains to make the athletic section or
the Cornhusker a gr?at success. This
department or the "Nebraska Annual"
will be a remarkable achievement and
should be a source or pride to all
Cornhusker students.
FRESH USE
HOLDS VARSITY
Yearlings Battle Husker First Team
to 6 w J score After a
Hour's Play.
Use Aerial Game
Last Hard Workout to Be Held
Tonight Before Michigan Aggie
Game Saturday.
The Freshmen and Varsity battled
last evening on Nebraska field for
over an hour. When time was called
the count was 6 to 3 with the Varsity
on the long end of the score. The
Varsity did not come up to Coach
Schulte's expectations last night in
their performance against the Frosh.
The Freshmen played like veterans
and withheld the rushes of the heavv
VarpityJIne and backfleld with ease
during the greater part of the scrim
mage. The Varsity found a snag in
the Freshmen line and was unable to
make first downs a number of times
with only a yard or two to go.
The scrimmage took the appearance
of a real football game when the
Freshmen kicked off to the Varsity.
The Varsity criss-crossed the ball on
the kick-off but the Freshmen stopped
It on the twenty yard line. The ball
exchanged hands a number of time?
with the Varsity being held In mid
field for downs. An attempted place
kick was blocked and the ball went
wild. The Freshmen again recovered
the ball after holding the Varsity for
downs and Dewltz sent the ball over
the bar for a three point lead which
was maintained nntll shortly berore
time was called. A large number of
forward passes' were used by both
teams. The Freshmen were unsuc
cessful in the form of attack but the
Varsity got away for a couple of long
gains by means of the aerial route.
Tonight will be the last hard work
out the arsity will receive until the
game with the Michigan Aggies on
Saturday. The general opinion is
that the Cornhuskers will be able to
get away with the big end of the
score without much difficulty. Coach
Sclrolte is of the opinion that the
Aggies are going to be a hard nut to
crack and that the Hunkers are going
to have to fight until the final whistle
toots If they expect to win. The
Aggies have been banned from the
Big Ten but have been playing con
ference teams that rate on a par with
any of the Big Ten teams. The
Michigan team have one of the clever
est coaches in the business in the
person of Potsy Clark and it Is ex
pected that the Aggies will demon
strate some of this cleverness In Sat
urday's battle.
The Huskers are anxious to even
up the tie that was encountered last
week at Kansas by piling up as bis
a score as possible a&ainst the Michi
gan Aggies. Only two games remain
on the Husker schedule, the Michigan
Aagles and Washington' State. Coach
Schulte and the Cornhuskers feel that
if victories are annexed from both of
the teams that Husker record for the
past season will he far from unsuc
cessful.
