PHI DELTA KAPPA HAS
NATIONAL CONVENTION
A meeting of Phi Delta Kappa, the
national educational fraternity, was
held in Omaha on Thursday of as
Bociation week. Members were pres
ent from six different chapters in
cluding Nebraska. A luncheon was
given in honor of Professor Eugel
hart of Columbia University and Su
perintendent Scott of Louisville, Ky.
Zoological Society
Is An Ordeal Of Many Terrors
Screams, shrieks, moans and lamentations that made even the cadav
ers in the directing room turn over in their swaddling echoed through the
uncanny halls of Bessey building just before the unearthly hour of midnight
on Thursday last. Tortures without number were endured, trial3 without
end were encountered as the captive soults staggered back and forth la
the thralls pf serfdom through the echoing rooms of that great building.
The Zoological Society was holding its annual initiation.
Blindfolded and sick at heart, the initiates were duly instructed nto
the rttes and ceremonies. Though fortified by a strengthening medicine,
known only to those who have endured the terrors of the gruesome ordeal,
yet the new members harely survived the awe inspiring Introduction ond
handclasp with Sambo, the Sovereign Royal of the anatomy laboratory.
But recompence came at last for those who suffered upon the rack
and the meek and lowly Initiates were finally led into the banquet rm
where they drowned their sorrows in cherry pie and made merry by Imi
tating the animals they were supposed to know so well.
The inKiates included: Howard Turner, Florence Sherman, Alice Berg
land. Mae Bergland, Adelheit Dettman. Allen Wolsott. Henry Johnson,
Laurens Mason. Marjorie MoGhee, Andrew M. Shoeppel. Roscoe Luce.
Eleanor Lowry, Paul Bancroft, Beulah Oberdorfer, Samuel Yabroff. and'

HOLD "HELLO"
Nebraska May Try Having Day Of
Greeting Other Universities
Have Similar Traditions.
"Hello" day is something that the
University of Nebraska has never as
yet tried. Last year considerable agi
tation favoring such a day was had
but nothing done in the matter. Nik
some students have come to the front
favoring such a plan and hoping that
the Husker school might adopt It.
"Hello" day is' a tradition in many
universities of the country especially
those of the more democratic spirit.
In the University of Cincinnatti, a re
cent edition of the student publics tim
contained a lengthy editorial on the
subject of "Hello's."
The plan as outlined is simple. It
calls for nothing more difficult than
that all students say hello to eveiy
student they meet on the campus.
Whether they have ever met them or
not makes no difference. The loyal
supporters of the movement will say
"hello" to all.
Helps Democratic Spirit.
Probably the best benefits to be de
rived from such a movement would be
the increased spirit of democracy.
Naturally when one goes through a
day la which he says "hello" to every
one he meets, he will continue to say
the cheery word to many of these
students in after days. Increasing of
the democratic spirit will tend to in
crease the spirit of the school.
There are in the University many
students who make a practice of say
ing "hello" to everyone on the cam
pus who they have ever come in con
tact with as well as those they know.
While apparently there is no immedi
ate benefit from such a habit, the
students to whom he says the chctry
word will soon commence to speak
to him and it is not long before he
is one of the most well known stud
ents on the campus.
The matter will in all probability
be referred to the student council
who could set a date for it. It is tc
be doubted if there are very many
students in the University who would
not comply whole-heartedly with the
plan and when the day is over feel
that it was one of .the most profU-v
ble in their school career.

LAWYERS DEAR TALK

Mr. E. C. Childs Addresses General
Convocation of Laws Fri
day Morning.
Mr. E. C. Childs, manager ot traffic
bureau for the Omaha chamber of
commerce, spoke to the members of
the law college at the general lecture
period Friday morning. The tain con
cerned government of public service
agencies by commissions. Mr. Childs
suggested that the basis for such com
missions rested on the common law
which recognizes the. public right to
regulate organizations serving the
public directly.
The work now handled by the var
lous commissions was or'ginally
ground thru regular courts. In the
early seventies the burden became too
great for these courts, and the i-uer
stntn commerce commission was
formed.
The first commission's duties were
then Durely administrative and had
to do with railroads. Now, the inter
state commerce comniissison han
dles, not only railroads, but also such
public utilities as telephones, street
car. and telegraph companies The
powers, too, have increased In a like
manner, until the commission nas al
most complete administrative and Ju
dicial control, as well as Isglslative
importance in these matters.
The shlDDing board is one of the
latest commissions established, and is
one of the most important.
The commissions offer a fine field
for" Epecialization to a lawyer. The
procedure is much like tail In a
court," though more Inofrmal. The
findings of fact of the body are final,
and an appeal may be had only on
points of law. Practice before thes,?
auasi-ludiclal, quasi-executive tribun
als offers a wide and intjresting
work."

AMES, la., Nov. 19. Tim Nebraska
Cornhuskers today finished tie last
lap of their battle to conquer tho
Missouri Valley championship by de
feating Iowa state college 35 to 3 on
State field. The victory of th-rllusk-ers
over Ames gives the Nebraskans
full claim to the Vr.lley championship
without the blot of dei'eat against
taeir recuiil This is one of the few
times in the history cf the Missouri
Valley conference that a champion
ship has gone to an undefeated team.
The three "points which Ames scored
today ere the only tallies to be reg
istered against the 'fighting Corn
huskers by a Valley team.
Starting the game with two back
field men who have been oat of all
the last three games on tho Huskct
schedule, the beefy Nebraska ns were
slow in getting started. Before they
were fully aware of the strength of
the Ames eleven, Lingenfelter kicked
a neat field goal from the Nebraska
35 yard line. The kick followed a
Nebraska fumble recovered by Ames.
Trailing the Aggies by three points,
the Huskers soon woke up and be
fore the end of the first period they
carried the ball across the Ames goal
for the first of a series of five touch
downs. In the second quarter the play re
solved itself into a kicking duel,
neither side taking much of tne ad
vantage. But in the third period,
the Huskers showed the spirit with
which walloped the Pitt Panthers and
tallied up twenty-one points. They
registered another touchdown in the
final period and so clinched their
claim to the Valley championship.
The University of Missouri with
only one Valley defect on their books
lays claim to second place in the con
ference race. Had Ames succeeded
in stopping the fighting Huskers. the
Missouri team would have taVen the
title, leaving Nebraska in second
place.

Mechanical Drawing Class Run
As Practical Drafting Office
Newer and better ideas of how to give students practical working
knowledge along with theory seems to be the aim of the Instructors at tho
University of Nebraska. It is unusual for a week to passi without one'!
hearing of some new, successful plan of teaching. A scheme that is parti
cularly good has just been worked out in the college of engineering.
Students in applied mechanics 1, mechanical drawing have hitherto
patiently turned out certain stipulated plates. The instructor decided to
try something new. He proposed his plan, it was accepted eagerly by the
students, and has been entirely successful.
The different sections are now organized and run as much like a regu
lar drafting office as possible. Each office has its chief draftsman, squid
bosses, and draftsmen. The men with the highest grades were picked In
each section to form this advanced class which is dispensing with the regu
lar plates of the last half of the semester. Instead, these groups are doing
work which may be required of them as practicing engineers. They are
measuring up and sketching machinery the find in the buildings of th
college. From these sketches they
ings, tracings, and blue prints.
One group is working on a Metz
around over the traveling crane In the
engineering building. The members
dangering their lives Jumping from beam to beam twenty feet above a con
crete pavement, but, of the two groups, they are certainly obtaining the
most practical experience. No matter
same thing is true of every section
class are working harder, and those
their posts.
