A decrease in the registration in the College of Law follows the new requirement for admission of two vears of study in the College of Arts and Science. Lengthening of tht dental course one year has probably reduced the size of the freshman and sophomore classes in that college.

The names of the unsatisfactory candidates will be discussed. A no tary public will be there and the girls will be urged to send home for vot ing applications. This meeting is not only for girls of voting age, but all who are interested may come. The outcome of the next election will depend largely upon the women, says Adelheit Dettman, who will pre side. In order to vote to the best advantage, it is necessary .that they be well-informed. This meeting will provide an excellent means of obtain ing authentic Information about the issues of the election, according to its sponsors. , Dr. Wolesensky Is a Visitor at Chemistry Hall Dr. Wolesensky of the Chemical Warfare Service visited Dr. Denting of the College of Chemistry Wednes day. Dr. Wolesensky and Dr. Deming were schoolmates at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Wolesensky is now tecated at Edge wood Arsenal, where several hundred chemists are working with poison gas. Edgewood Arsenal produces more poison gas than any other arsenal in the world. The work clone in the College of Chemistry pleased Dr. Wolesensky very much. "Dumbells"Will Hold Big Picnic Wednesday Physical Education Normals were entertained by "The Dumbells" last Wednesday at a welner roast at Elec tric park. After a brisk hike to the park, the girls ate the pleblan weiner, buns, apples and coffee. The Dumbells are a most hospitable organization. Through their efforts the "Phys. Eds." are shown a real good time two or three time a year. Besides th epicnlc there Is usually a Christmas party apd "a feed." Five Hundred Girls Annual Cornhusker Luncheon Tho girls' Cornhusker luncheon Saturday at the Lincoln hotel, with tho spirited talks, tho march to the1 Athletic Field where tho five hundred girls attended Uio game iif a body, and their attractive entertainment feature In letting down u huge red canopy over their section between halves, all combined to make the luncheon ono that surpassed all others.

Tho total list included "The Kickoff" by Margaret linger; "The Forward Pass" by Adelheit Detlmann, and "The Touchdown" by Ruth Lindsay, an alumna. A special table for tho speakers was decorated with footballs and red and white roses. Tables for the rest of the five hundred girls were placed in the main dining-room and on the mezzanine floor. At each place there was a red and white rose as a favor, which were worn by tho girls to the game. Place cards were especially clever, and were designed by Isabel Fonts. They showed the face of "the Ne braska man" wearing a football hel Players Satisfied With Ticket Sale The University Players are excep tionally well pleased with the results of their ticket sale which closed last Saturday.

SJOGREN SPEAKS 10 Agricultural Engieering Is Sub jectof Lecture at Convo cation Monday. Professor O. W. Sjogren, chairman of the department of Agricultural Engineering, spoke to the freshmen engineers in convocation Monday at 5 o'clock la M. E. 206. He outlined the history and development of agri cultural engineering and described the larger problems that engineers must meet. Professor Sjogren emphasized the necessity for the agricultural engineer to have both technical and practical farm knowledge. Stability and use fullnes in farm buildings and dwell ings must be sought as well as beauty. he said, and therefore en engineer with a pure architectural education would not be competent to desigu adequate farm buildings. "Many farmers move to the cities, not because they dislike farm life, but in order that their families may have modern conveniences," he declared. Many farms have, no water supply beyond a well, and inadequate sewage disposal systems." he said "Depression in the supply of lumber necessitates the use of other building materials on farms," he weDt on. "Hollow tile, concrete, brick, all have immense possibilities." New ideas are hard to introduce, according to Pro fessor Sjogren. An Ames professor conceived the idea of building silos with circular tile but he was openly scoffed at until he worked out his practical tests. At present many fac tories are manufacturing this type of tile. Irrigation is another important feature of farm life that concerns tho agricultural engineer, he told his au dience. Although the projects them selves are not strictly agricultural engineering jobs, the proper applica tion of the water to the soil is vital to success in irrigation, and this re quires a knowledge of soils as well as a technical knowledge of hydrau lies. Pump irrigation developed, al though it is being tried at points along the Platte. About 800 square miles of land in Nebraska would be 'benefitted by drainage, he asserted. In the whole country, only one acre In every thou sand that ought to be drained is ac tually worked upon. It is true, he ad mitted, that all land is not fit for use after drainage, not even worth the expense. This again calls for the man with a knowledge of soils as well as of process of drainage for successful work. "Agriculture is the principal in dustry of this state," he pointed out. "We have no mining or extensive manufacturing. Therefore, it is neces sary that we apply all our scientific knowledge to develop this industry to its greatest usefullness." Inquiries have been received from all over the world as to the outcome of the tractor tests that the Univer sity has carried out beginlng in 1913, he said. New Members in Sem. Bot. Club The Sem. Bot. club met last Thurs day night for the initiation of new members. Ten students took the Can didates Degree and eight took the Ne vidlous Degree.

Prof. R. D. Scott is chairman of the campaign on the city campus and Prof. Oscar Sjogren is in charge of the drive on the Agricul tural College campus. Committee meetings were held last night at 5 o'clock to arrange final plans for the campaign to put the faculty over the top in the manner in which the stu dents "went over" last week. A list of the subscription of each faculty member will be published in The Daily Nebraskan before the end of the week. A revised list of the stu dent subscribers wil also be published some time in the near future. On ac count of the fact that so many sub scriptions were raised on the last day of the campaign, the list as it ap peared in the Saturday issues does not give a fair picture of the way many of the students responded. ERMA APPLEBY F Reports Suggestion of Women's Friendship Tour of Europe in the Summer. Miss Erma Appleby, secretary of the University Y. W. C. A., returned Friday. October 20 from Denver where she attended a joint meeting of th . councils of the Y. W. C. A. and th" Y. M. C. A. The sessions occupied thre days. Among interesting rec ommendations Miss Appleby men tioned in particular the suggestion that the Y. W. C. A. sponsor a girls' pilgrimage of friendship to Europe to visti student centers such as the Y. M. C. A. has sponsored in the past The girls would pay their expenses as the boys have done. The general tendency of the council was to encourage Y. M. and Y. W. c operation. It was decided by the Y. W. to ac cept as participants ln the Industrial experiment only girls who were rec ommended either by a member of the sociology or economics departments and the dean of women of the col leges from which they came. Miss Appleby noted that a number of so clalogy departments have givea credit for the experiment on the comple tion of certain work. Nebraska girls Interested in the experiment should talk with Miss Appleby at Ellen Smith Hall. FUND iPIN C Board Authorizes New Publication The Student Publication Hoard Tuesday passed favorably upon a peti tion presented by the Comereiul club 'for the College of Business Adminis tration. This gives the club the privi lege of preparing and publishing a monthly mugazino about 9x12 iu si.o. . Although it , is ono of the newer ones, this college has experienced a phenomenal growth, and the commit tee in charge is confident that the paper will be supported In fine style. The following staff was elected at tho business meeting of the Commer cial club Thursday: Editor-ln-Chlef, Norrls Contes; managing editor, Ray mond Eller; business manager, Harry Adams; assistant business manager, Robert Maxwell; circulation manager, Phillip Lewis. E DENOUNG'S TURK PROPAGANDA J. Edward Kirbye Tells Students Turk Is Praised for Com mercial Interests. That false Turkish propaganda has been broadcasted in America by com mercial interests through periodicals and newspapers was emphasized iu America by Dr. J. Edward Kirbye iu his speech at convocation Thursday morning. Dr. Kirble has recently completed a personal Inspection of conditions in the near east. Violin numbers by Mr. C?rl Steckerberg and a vocal solo by Mr. Archie Jones were included In the program. Dr. Kirbye opened his address by quoting from Henry Ford's weekly periodical an article eralting the Turk in his relation to the races sub ject to him. "The (Turk is a very honorable man," Dr. Kirbye said sarcastically. "Students of history agree that his conduct the past seven or eight years has been very exemplary. The minister of the interior of the Turkish Empire was shot openly on the streets of Berlin. Everybody said the Armenian student was did it would be convicted of murder. It was pre meditated; It was done openly, and with malice of forethought. Turkey was a German ally in the great war. Armenia was an enemy, on the other side. Yet a German attorney went down to Constantinople secured Turk ish records, letters written by this same minister to the effect that the Armenians should be herded together, their property taken, their chili'.rea refused admission to Turkish orphan homes. The attorney brought this evidence back and even a German court of justice would not condemn the Armenian. But of course the Turk is a very honorable man," he reiterated. Dr. Kirbye quoted a Turkish gen eral as having said that because of the disloyality of thfe subject Christ ians in the Turkish wars the Turk:! intended to finish them. Massacre Christians. "He meant to say that thev had determined on the absolute destruc tion the Christians," stated Dr. Kir bye. "I might believe that this was Turkish bluff if I hadn't seen eighteen thousand children whose fathers and mothers were slain. I might believe it if I hadn't seen tho spot whero five or six hundred men were h'-r'ded together and shot and where their skulls ami parts of their bodies were still lying. I might believe it if I hadn't seen the remains of women s and children's bodies. I might be lieve that such masacres were not commiltord by the Turkish govern ment if I hadn't picked up the shells and identified them with those of the Turkish r"?lsments." Dr. Kirbye cited a city in Turkey which In 1911 had a population of 40,000, and in 1920 one of 15.000. 25,000 Greeks and Armenians had been driven out and their property confiscated. The only remnants of that portion of the population was 300 little boys and 500 little girls wander ing in the streets. There Is not an Armenian girl in Turkey over nluj years old In who has not been violated by Turkish soldiers." Dr. Kirbye read a cablegram from Miss Minnie Mills, head of the Inter collegiate institution at Smyrna. "I think conditions here have been misrepresented in American news papers," it read. "This is one of the most degrading instances of modern history. There is indisputable evi dence that the Turks set the fires." "In the last month 4S7.000 people have been driven from their homes to become refugees in the neighboring islands," ended Dr. Kirbye' "and yet commercial interests in American newspapers and periodicals say that the Turk is an honorable man." COMMITTEES ARE ANNOUNCED FOR SEMESTER BY Annual Distribution of Class Honors Is Made for Present Term lj ut....!, rwtorl Officers Debating Committee t Ra 1 Y IJT UUV,vu - U - Made More Important Group. LARGE NUMBERS ARE GIVEN Final List Is Approved by Dean Polk of tha 1 First Year Men Grab Eighty of One Hundred f oints in me Annual Olympics. Freshmen triumphed over the sopho- more a in t no annual class battle held last Saturday morning. Boxing and wrestling lienors were evenly divided between tl.e classes, but the freshmen took the relay race and all mass events. In the pole rush, the main event, the freshmen battlers took the sopho more man from tho pole after a few minutes of scrapping. .The Becoud year men, massed about the pole, fur nished an excellent platform for the yearlings to walk on. The pushball contest was hard fought, but the sophs were unable to withstand the superior numbers of the new men. The pushball, a leather covered bladder about six feet in dia meter, was kept in the air most of the time by the pressure of the two bodies of shoving men. The bull pen was a walk-away for the frosh. The object of the fight was to determine which side could pull the greater number of men across the line and keep them there. This the yearlings did cleanly, leaving only some half dozen sophomores free at the expiration of five-minutes. It was intended that three hundred freshmen battle with 275 second-year men. but due to the poor turnout of sophs the latter were outnumbered about two to one. The frosh relay team, composed of Berkle, Rhodes, Locke and Ilein cap tured five points for the freshmen by winning the running event. The boxing and wrestlig contests were spirited and hard fought in every case. Orland, sophomore, took the 115-pound fisticuff fray from Kelly. In the 145-pound mill, Uvick, freshman, triumphed over Barret. The sopho mores won the 158-pound class bout and the first year man retaliated by taking the 175-pound contest. Kellogg for the sophs vanquished Hunt in the 115-pound wrestling match. Skinner added five more points to the sophomore score card when he took the decision over Pop lar. Skinner was also the hope of the second year men in the ISS-pound class, but he was thrown by Merritt. The 175 pound fray went to the year lings. Gangs of freshmen and sophomores collected about tow n Friday night and several members of both classes un derwent more-or-less mild hazing. Reports have come in over the spe cial leased wire rented by the Ne braskan that the president of the sophomore class and the Iron Sphinx, tveether with a number of other sophs, were unavoidably detained about fifteen miles from Lincoln ami were unable to be present at Olympics. the Davis Describes Huqe Laboratory Dean Davis of the Dental school re turned today from Milford, Delaware, where he has been inspecting the new- dental laboratory with which be will be associated. The laboratory when completed will be the only one of its kind in the world and will be a model of all that is up-to-date in den tistry. One of the chief backers is a mem ber of the Board of Repents of the University of Delaware and the plan Is to bring about a closer relationship between the laboratory and the Uni versity. Tho connection would cor- repond to that of the Mayo institute and the University of Minnesota. The aim is to have this laboratory do for dentistry what that of the Mayo's has done for surgery. There will be a clinic, a hospital and a laboratory for research work In connection. A pa per will be published to give to all dentists the results obtained from ex- perlmentation. Dean Davis will remain in Lincoln several weeks before returning to per manently take np his work in Mil- ford.
