DR. A. J. BARNOUW.
Tonight Dr. A. J. Barnouw of Hol
land begins a series of addresses to
the students and faculty of Nebraska
of Nebraska on International ques
tions of importance, and their parti
cu'ar relation to his own country.
Faculty men that have been more
or less in touch with Dr. Bitrnouw
legard him as a very able man and
express the hope that every Nebras
kan will have the opportunity to
hear him at least once during his
stay here.
The International Relations club,
which is responsible for Dr. Barnouw
being here, 1s to be congratulated in
bringing such an able man before our
student body.
NEXT YEAR'S SCHEDULE.
Today Director of Athletics P. W.
Leuhring, and Coaches Schulte and
Frank are in Kansas City fiamlng
our football schedule for next year.
The football fans are impatiently
waiting the results of the coherence,
and are hoping that the strongest of
the Missouri Valley teams may be
seen in "action at Nebraska nevl year.
The splendid showing that our foot
ball men made thlis year is one that
will long be remembered. The team
met some of the fastest aggregations
In the country and is recognized as
be?'ng one of the best football ma
chines in the United States.
Because of our present high stand
ard we should be entitled, again, to
games with the strongest football
schools in the east. The fact that
eastern football experts are naming
western men on their mythical all
Americans shows how the dopesteis
feel in regard to our brand of football.
around themselves and formed a living
unit.
Nebraska would be benefited by
more of these social organizations.
They are easy to- create, but the good
results far outstrip the effort neces
sary to create them.
To start a social group, it is neces
sary, of course, to have fifteen or
twenty men that are congenial. They
must have enough enterprise and faith
In their attempts to lease a furnish
ed house, or rent and furnish one
They must choose a leader, and thPii
rrpata a set of laws which will be
their guid or working model. Add
tbj-ee Greek letters, and the result
is accomplished.
The benefits are manifold. In the
first place, there is economy of liv
ing, for careful buying for a group
will result in a material saving, along
every line.
In the second place, there will be
educational help and inspiration, for
men interested in the same thngs
and the same courses will get a great
deal more out of them if the prob
lems confronting them are discussed
and settled in groups rather than
alone.
In the third place, there will be the
intimate friendships formed that will
not only mean a great deal during
the four college years, but will be
present at any time, that Is, if it i
a trip to the library tor siuay, sever
al will be doing it, if it is a cram ses
sion, a partner or two will be avail
able; and if it is a game of cards, or
workout in the gym, there will be
someone willing to go.
Iu the fifth place, it will offer a:i
opportunity to many who have not
before had the opportunity to practice
the superficial, yet highly valuable
feats of "society life," a chance to
learn along this line, so that when the
social occasion arises in latter life
a dance, or formal party, or a similar
affair than most successful people
will at some time be called upon to
attend the individual will know what
to do and be at ease while doing it.
In the sixth place, such a life will
furnish a host of amusing incidents
of serious things, of true fraternal
spirit; and a love different from any
other they will ever have, that will
mean, in later years, a great deal to
them.
Every national social fraternity at
Nebraska got its start by doing just
what is advocated above. A nationr.l
can't come here until it has a place
to come, and many nationals, recog
nizing Nebraska as a powerful school
;in which they would like to locate.
are eagerly awaiting the petition of
some local group.

In Years Gone By
THE JUDGING TEAM.
It is with pride that loyal Iiuskers
note the rapid advance made by the
Nebraska school in every field of en
deavor. In football we demonstrated
quite conclusively what we could do
Our department of advanced geog
raphy ia recognized as being among
the best five in the United States.
The college of agriculture did its
bit to raise our present high standard
among American universities at the
international live stock exposition
now being held in Chicago. One thou
sand one hundred dollars in m iney
and fifty ribbons were awarded our
stock which was entered in the com
petition there. The team sent by the
college won sixth place In the Judg
ing competition against a field of
twenty teams. Last year we won
second.
What is the next line in which Ne
braska will demonstrate its superiority?
MORE ATHLETICS.
Football now history, other sporting
events begin to loom big in the fu
ture. The basketball team is prac
ticing daily and some splendid ma
terial ia available for the varsity.
This year every Missouri Valley
team is to be seen in action here
against our quintet. In the past the
school has not been ao fortunate as
it has thia year, and sport enthus
iasts are predicting a mighty big
year for thla activity.
"Wrestling also, ia attracting more
than a passing interest and a call his
been made mat team candidates.
NEW ORGANIZATION.
A social fraternity ia nothing more
than the published desire of twenty
live or thirty men to let the world
know that they have tied a string

it is yet iimonth before the basket
ball season begins in W. A. A camp.
This sport Is by far the most popular
in the whole list of sports, no doubt,
because few girls can not be found
who have not shot baskets some time
dur.rg their high school days. Even
now before gym classes begin, a few
old tin ers, practice hitting tho hoop.
This year's seniors were Inter-class
champions for the last two years, and
with Mary Stephens back in the line
up with all the old team members
there la no reason why the engrav-
i.g will not be dittoed on th9 loving
cup again thia year.
Tho Monte Carlo tournament will
be played off first, when the players
on teams ro drawn from a hat. The
interclass tournament will follow.

How Were X'Rays Discovered?
SIR James Mackenzie Davidson visited Professor Roentgen to find
out how he discovered the X-rays.
Roentgen had covered a vacuum tube, called a Hittorf or Crookes
tube, with black paper so as to cut off all its light. About four yards
away was a piece of cardboard coated with a fluorescent compound.
He turned cn the current in the tube. The cardboard glowed brightly.
. Sir James asked him: "What did ycu think?"
"I didn't think, I investigated," raid Roentgen. He wanted to
know what made the cardboard g'ow. C n!y planned c: peWrr.ents
could give the answer. We all know the practical result. Thousands
of lives are saved by surgeons who use the X-rays.
Later on, cr.e of the scientists in the Research Laboratory of the
General Electric Company became interested in a certain phenomenon
sometimes observed in incandescent lamps. Others h ".d observed it,
but he, li':e Roentgen, investigated. The result was the discovery
of new laws governing electrical conduction in high vacuum.
Another scientist in the same laboratory saw that on the basis cf those
new laws he could build a new tube for producing X-rays more effec
tively. This was the Coolidge X-ray tube which marked the greatest
advance in the X-ray art since the original discovery by Roentgen.
Thus, scientific investigation cf a strange phenomenon led to the
discovery of a new art, and scientific investigation of anothc strange
phenomenon led to the greatest improvement in that art.
It is for such reasons that the Research Laboratories cf the General
Electric Company are continually investigating, continually exploring
the unknown. It is new knowledge that is sought. But practical
results follow in an endless stream, and in many unexpected ways.
