HOLLANDER TO HAVE
BUSY PROGRAM HERE
Will Be the Guest of Professor
Roy E. Cochran During His
Stay in Lincoln.
Dr. A. J. Barnouw is scheduled to
arrive in Linoln today for a visit of
several days at the University of Ne
braska during which time he will make
several addresses, some to private
organizations and some to meetings
open to the entire student foody and
faculty and to the public at large.
Dr. Barnouw is a noted Hollander
He is in the United States for the pur
pose of investigating American stud
ent life and is (being sent to Severn!
tlniversities of tho country by the
International Relations club as a part
of the Institute of International Edu
cation of New York.
While in Lincoln Dr. Barnouw will
probably atteml several University
parties so as to get an insight into
the, social as well as the serious life
of students at Nebraska. He will bo
the guest of Prof. R. E. Cochran dm
ins his stay in Lincoln.
A busy schedule of meetings has
been arranged for Dr. Barnouw. The
faculty committee in charge of the
program and entertainment for the
noted Dutchman has arranged for
him to attend meetings on every day
of his five day visit. This committee
consists of Deans J. E. LeRossgnol
and Philo M. Buck, and Professors
R. E. Cochran and E. H. Barbour.
Dr. Barnouw is a splendid speaker
Every student in the University should
hear him. Not only is he a good
speaker but he has some very inter
esting subjects upon which to talk.
Friday evening, Dr. Barnouw is to
be the guest of the School Master's
club which meets at the Lincoln hotel.
This will be his first appearance aft
er arriving in Lincoln.
On Saturday evening, Dr. Barnouw
will speak to the men of the University
of Nebraska faculty at an informal
meeting of the faculty men's dinner
club to be held at the Grand hotel.
On Monday and Tuesday, Dr. Bar
nouw will make five public addresses.
These have been so arranged that eve
ry student in the University is able to
hear at least one of them.
The first of the addresses will be
given Monday morning at 11 o'clock in
the art gallery. Dr. Barnouw will
ppeak on "Eramus."
The second meeting will be held at
1 o'clock Monday afternoon in room
209, Social Science building. "Dutch
Neutrality," will be the subject of this
address by the Dutch educator.
At i o'clock Monday afternoon, Dr.
Barnouw will speak in the art gallery
on "Dutch Art." This address will be
particularly interesting to those stud
ents interested in art.
Monday gevening at 8 o'clock D.
Barnouw will speak in the Social
Science hall auditorium on "Interna
tional Relations."
The last of the addresses by Dr
Barnouw will be made Tuesday morn
ing at 11 o'clock when he will speak
t the Temple theater to the Univer
sity convocation. His subject will be
"Holland Before and After The War."
H A. A. Is Important
Campus Organization-
While Nebraska men are putting
the university on the map in ath
letics, the Women's athletic associa
tion must not be forgotten. Inter
collegiate sports for women are a
tiling f the past In all the larger
colleges and universities. There is a
athletic conference of American col
lege women held annually for the
Promotion of sports for women. Ne
braska W. A, A. stands among the
highest in this national organiza
tion. The local W. A. A. was founded In
the spring of 1917, by a few athletic
RhlB who wanted to get more girls
ut for sports. From this small be
ginning the organization today has an
6ctive membership of 80 gdrls. Since
that time also, over forty 'N sweat
ers have been awarded to girls who
stood only for the highest In ath
'eticg. since that time Nebraska has
been well represented yearly' at eve
ry convention of the national associa
SENNING TALKS ON WAR
PREVENTION AT VESPERS
"War" was the subject of Vesper
services Tuesday evening, Davlda Van
Gilder conducted the meeting.
J. P. Senning, of the political science
department, spoke on tho manner it:
which war can be prevented. He said
that the only way in which the peace
prophecy can be fulfilled is to bring
about such friendly' relationships be
tween nations that war will be out -of
the question. Mr.. Senning pointed out
the f.ict that the disarmament confer
once is one of the means by which
wars can be prevented in the future

to the Mountain District
of Kentucky.
The monthly Y. W. C. A. stafif din
ner was held at Ellen Smith hall Tues
day at six o'clock. The membership
committee, under the leadership of
Bob Henderson, and Betty Riddell of
the Social committee, prepared the
dinner.
After the dinner was served, a
meeting was held In which the dif
ferent committees reported their plans
and told something of their work. Ad
delheit Dettman explained the mean
ing and purpose of F. R. The differ
ent members of the Social service com
mittee told of their phase of the work,
The finance committee made a report.
Miss Appelby made an appeal for
help in securing books to send to the
mountain district of Kentucky. In this
community, there are very few books
and the people are very eager to read.
They are not sufficiently educated to
enjoy the more serious and involved
'iterature, so the lighter fiction is most
needed. The Y. W. C. A. is going to
send a Christmas box of books to
these people, and all contributions
would be greatly appreciated. Books
can be left with Miss Appelby at El
len Smith hall and she will see that
they are sent to the people in Ken
hucky.-
EVTNGER WILL SERVE ON
CITY ZONING COMMISSION
Prof. M. I. Evinger of the civil en
gineering department has been re
quested by Mayor Zehrung to serv.j
on the City Zoning Commission. The
other members of the board are.
Chairman, Former Mayor J. E. Miller;
O. J. Fee, a graduate of the engineer
ing college, G. J. Culbertson and J. h.
Teeters.
Professor Evinger has had consid
erable experience in this line of work
and Is teaching classes in the Univer
sity along the same lines. He has been
prominent in advocating this work for
some tine and has given it consider
able attention.
The city zoning commission is some
thing new in Nebraska cities but it s
expected that if Lincoln takes the lead,
the other smaller cities will follow
and later, no doubt, when its benefits
have been realized the smaller towns
will adoDt the Plan also. Due to liti
gation, it Is doubtful if much work will
be done this tall but it is expected
that in the spring active work will be
undertaken , for the carrying out of the
plans as they will be finally formulated.
Founded Early in 1917
tion, and will serve as secretary at
the inter-sectional convention to be
held in Colorado in the spring. W. A.
A. has made all its money, by run
ning a concession at the athletic
events of the men. The organization
has paid for the sweaters awarded,
has given generously to the fund for
the memorial gymnasium, has kept
alive French orphans, and subscribed
to many war funds.
The Women's Athletic association
has made possible sports on such a
large scale at Nebraska, because of
the small personnel of teachers In
the department. The sports leaders
handle all the executive work off their
sports, and assist the teachers In
coaching the games to the girls. La t
year 1,018 girls took part In some
sport One hundred and fifty girls
hiked 2,089 miles. Tflta year the
sports started better thnd ever and
no doubt last year's record will be
broken.

E. J. Bennett of the Connecticut State
highway commission. In the review
Mr. Bennett refers to this book as
"a good text lor students of highway
engineering literature." He further
states that "the author shows a broad
knowledge of engineering litc-'iiiure."
Speaking of concrete road construc
tion, he says, "The author's Jong and
careful discussions of concrete road
specifications and tlie selection ol
material is oft' great value as a col
lection of information on this very im
portant division of highway engineer
ing." He concludes the review with the
following paragraph:
"The book is well arranged and is
a valuable addition to highway engi
neering literature, particularly in view
of the fact that it should convince
the layman that the planning t.nd con
struction of highways is largely an
engineering problem, not to be solved
by the ordinary man in the streev
Professor Chatburn is to be congrat
ulated on the clearness of l.ls Eng
lish and the shortness and directness
of his sentences."
Such words from the pen of a well
known, practical highway engineer
are conclusive proof of the worth of
this excellent new book. That it !s
assured of a growing use in clleges
is certain, especially in schools which
want a well-written, clear and con
cise text.

College Book Store Has Taken
Over Student Rosters ana
Offers Them at 50c.
The College Book Store has pur
chased the 1921-22 student directories
remaining unsold by the .directory
management and will put the books
on sale to the students immediately.
ApproxhntiCIy three hundred rost
ers were not disposed of and will be
taken over by the store.
This arrangement will give the
students an opportunity to purchase
the books any time during the year.
Heretofore the directory sales have
lasted only for a given period, after
which it was impossible to obtain a
copy. The directories can be purchased
at any time, however, under this new
plan.
The regular sales campaign on the
campus closed yesterday and the only
means of obtaining a directory now is
through the College Book Store. The
books will be sold at the same price
fifty cents. The email number on hand
will probably be disposed of In a short
time.

Tickets for the Cornhusker banquet
will be ready for distribution soon aim
may be .purchased for one dolki; from
members of all campus organizations,
class societies and at the student ac
tivities office. Fraternities have un
animously agreed to diisponsi with
evening meals at the various houses
Friday, December 9, in order that eve
ry cne of their members may at
tend the banquet.
The least is held annually at the
close of each football season to com
memorate the valor of Nebraska's
moleskin warriors. Due to the ex
ceedingly successful season just
closed, Nebraska v hopes to see more
men around the banquet board De
cember 9 than at any time before.
Charles A. Robbins, professor in the
college of law, has been chosen as
toastmaster for the evening. Mr.
Robbins lias been a loyal supporter
of Cornhusker grid teams fo many
years and rarely misses a game. He
is always ready and willing to dis

ballroom of the hotel Lincoln for the
scene of the feast. The menu as se
lected is appetizing, according to the
committee in charge.
The university quartet will sing and
an orchestra will furnish music during
the intermissions.
Students are urged to buy their tick
ets as soon as possible after they are
distributed, because only a limited
amount will be validated and the fra
termies are demanding a good share
of these.
Arrangements for the banquet are
in c-harge of the Innocents society.

When the faculty delegates repre
senting the nine institutions in the
Misourl iVallev confi.l'ence set to
gether next Saturday in Kansas City
they will be up against the necessity
of passing Judgment on the aspira
tions and ambitions of Creighton uni
versity of Omaha. Creighton Is not
merely bidding for athletic relations
wtith the Nebraska Cornhuskers and
other Valley schools, but seeks mem
bership in the conference. A Creigh
ton delegation, headed by Mack Bald
ridge, head football tutor at the Oma
ha Institution and former Yale foot
ball man, will go to Kansas City this
week-end to knock at the conference
door.
The impending application by
Coach Bald ridge will not be the first
effort cn Creighton's part to break
into the Valley conference circle.
Creighton and St.' Louis university
filed applications two years ago when
Grinnell college was taken into the
fold. The Iowa school was deemed
desirable as a member.

at Nebraska received laudatory com
ment In the November Issue of the
Wiley Bulletin, and the nature of the
course Is pointed to with remarks to
the effect that it is In line with prog
ress to have such courses appear in
the curriculum.
"The University of Nebraska of
fers freshmen civil engineering stud

committees have been working hard
on it or several weeks and they think
they have planned a party that will
over-shadow evary other party that
has ever been given by that class, or
any other class.
Floyd Reed is the chairman in
charge and he has an efficient staff
of workers under him. The following
members of the committee have tick

The first course offered is a general

Theorists Change to Practical

By H. Emerson Kokjer.
In the Nebraska law collegj is a

wisdom, where theorists change into
practical attorneys.
Theoretical education, alone, is like
a locomotive without throttle or the
brakes. The big bulk of steel is a po

is lighted under the boilers, the water
gradually warms until it becomes a

NOTED DESIGNER
E. S. Jarrett Talks To Students
Convocation On Subject
"Foundations."
PLANS FOUNDATION
FOR STATE CAPITOL
Stresses Need of Broader Techni
cal Knowledge On Part
Of Graduates.
Mr.B. S. Jarrett, president of th'j
Jarrett Chalmers company of New
York which has charge of the design
ing of the foundations for the new
state capitol, spoke before a largo
crowd of engineers at special engin
eer's convocation yesterday on "Foun
dations." Mr. Jarrett was introduced by Dean
Ferguson, of the engineering college
who told about Mr. Jarrett's work
here in connection with the capitol
and also told how Mr. Jarrett had been
intimately connected with Nebraska
engineering activities by his work in
the designing of bridge foundations
along the Mssouri river especially at
Omaha.
Mr. Jarrett gave some words o?
general advice to the engineering stud
ent, not as he said, that he expected
it to be taken seriously, but merely
that it was the prerogative of the old
er to give advice and thus felt obli
gated to give it. He stressed the need
for a broad technical training esp
dally in the line of mechanics of ma
terials as this forms the basis of all
the work of the designing of struct
ures and especially in the design of
foundations. The University training
equips us writh the tools or the knowl
edge as to where to find our needs but
hard work is necessary in the field
to obtain the best results. There is no
royal road to success.
The engineer mu3t apply himself to
the part of the country in which he
is working and to the kind of work in
which he is engaged. To tha young en
gineer, this will probably bo in h!s
home vicinty and in the construction
of, at first at least, minor structures.
Municipal works may come under his
supervision but usually with an engin
eer of broader experience over him.
Foundations, in any class of worlc,
are often neglected This is often duo
to the fact that this part of a struct
ure does not show and thence does
not receive the proper consideration
hut this is one of the gravest errors
in building construction. How many
edifices have been observed that are
in a critical condition due to lack of
proper consideration in the determina
tloii of fnundaton problems.
The testing of soil conditions is one
of the most important problems of the
foundation engineer and one of the
most difficult under some conditions.
In most cases there is no need for
these tests but in the case of the
erection of a largo building, such as
our state capitol, where great pres
sures will be placed on restricted
areas, it is quite vital that extensive
tests be made for the determination
of the safe bearing power of the und
erlying material. The need for local
tests is necessary due to the fact that
in all localities there is different
phraseology for the various kinds of
clays, sands, and rocks, and thus val

the piston head. With the same head
of steam, and turned loose without
brakes, human lives and property
would be imperiled.
It lias been said, that, "a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing.'
Surely, an accumulation of the same
quality, with no idea of its control
would be disastrous.
With his figurative head of steam,
begotten of the fires of ambition and
study, a young lawyer might easily
prove useless. If he had no hint of
how to apply his theories, or h(
might rival the run-a-way engine In
destruction by an ignorant mls-appll-cation
of the same.
The moot court In Nebraska's col
lege of law tends away from any such
disaster.
A regularly arranged courtroom is
on the second floor of the law build
ing. It has a bench, a Jury box, a
counsel table, and a space for specta
tors. Here is where the future bar
risters of Nebraska learn to practice
