The coeds are attending this year
in proportionally larger numbers

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

College Girl Voter
To Meet on Tuesday
A meeting of the College Girl Vot
ers will be held at Ellen Smith Hall.
Tuesday at 7 o'clock for the purpose
bf becoming acquainted with the can
didates and espeiially stressing the
part prohibtion will play in the com
ing election.
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.

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

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.

ERMA APPLEBY
F
Reports Suggestion of Women's
Friendship Tour of Europe

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

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."

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.

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.
