Engberg Warns Students About
Scalping Notre Dame Tickets
Whereas it, is rumored that students lvavn lmujrht up
tickets for llie Notre Dame frame with llie intention of soiling
them again -at an advanced price, I wish to call each such
person's attention .to the following facts:
First, the sale of a ticket which does not have a definite
statement of the amount of war tax paid on such sale will
subject the seller to prosecution by the U. S. (lovernmeiiit.
Second, any student caught scalping tickets will he im
mediately expelled from the university.
Anyone having knowledge of such scalping is requested
to report the facts at tmt-o to my office.

education established in the beginning
has developed with the country and be
come one of the characteristic features
of our life. In it we have laid the foun
dation of that system of American
culture which has enabled us to ab
sorb and assimilate millions of widely
varying Institutions.
"In order that we may keep In mind
the need constantly to Improve our
educational system, it Is proposed that
the week of December 3-9, Inclusive, be
sot aside for special observance as
American educational week. It 13 rec

RURAL SCHOOL A PROBLEM
United States Commissioner of
Education Terminates Three
Day Visit to Lincoln
All eleven o'clock classes in tho
Teachers' College were excused Mon
day for the special convocation ad
dressed by John J. Tigert, United
States commissioner of education, at
tho Temple theater.
"Problems of the Rural school" was
the topic, of the address of the com
missioner, who ended a three-day stay
In Lincoln last night. He addressed
the students at Wesleyan University
preceding the convocation talk and
was the guest of the state superin
tendent of public instruction Monday
afternoon.
Mr. Tigert stated that over 1SG.000
schools, comprising more than half of
the total in the whole country, were
housed in one-room buildings. The
poor character of the preparation of
the great majority of the teachers in
these small schools was pointed out
to be a menace to the future of public-school
education in America.
That low salaries was one cause of
this lack of preparation was the opin
ion expressed by the speaker. Lack
of knowledge of even the fundament
als of education was notable in many
of the country school districts, Mr.
Tigert stated.
The speaker has been closely associ
ated with the work of gathering
statistics concerning the conditions
in the rural schools of the country.
He gave startling figures to show the
inadeciuate facilities in many of the
one and two-room schools.
Need for consolidated school dis
tricts with the resulting better equip
ment and higher salaries was stressed
by the commissioner. Opposition to
the increased taxes accompanying the
consolidation of districts was only
opposition to the education which is
due every normal child, the speaker
pointed out.
TRY-OUTS FOR CLASS
T
Keen Competition Expected When
Candidates Try for Places
on Class Squads
lnterelas debate tryouts to be
hold Thursday. The place, judges,
etc., are all to be announced in
Thursday's Nebraskan, and all can
didates should be sure and watch
for the Information in that issue.
Candidates wishing to try out, and
who have not sighed up yet, should
put their names on the bulletin
board opposite N. L'06.
The interclass debates are starting
up again, and by the number of men
signed up for the tryouts, it apepars
that the competition will be keen.
The question of the debate is "Re
solved, That the United States Govern
ment Should Grant Adjusted Compen
sation to the Veterans of the World
War." The question was one of the
issues in the last election, and there
is a large amount of material which
can be found on both sides.
There have only been a few Sopho
mores who signed up, but the other
classes have turned out well. The
Freshmen are drawing their men from
the ranks of the high school debaters
who have just come into school. The
Juniors and Seniors, on the other
hand, receive their supply from the
Law College.
From the men who try out, the
committee intends to choose a team
of three with one alternate from
each class. The preliminary debates
are set for December 19. All men
who have not yet signed up, should
place their names and the side which
they intend to take on the lists on
the bulletin board opposite U. 206
before noon. There are a number of
men who have signed up, but have
failed to put down their side, and they
should do this before today noon
also.
Information in regard to this debate
can be obtained frm Either Wendell
Berge or Professor Fogg, and appli
cation can be mad'- '(..ough them.
Full announcement of the time, place,
and judges should be watched for in
the Wednesday Issue of this paper.
Fred B. Walrath, ex-'22, and Allan
Tousley, who was the delegate from
Minnesota for Sigma Delta Chi at the
Kansas City convention, were guests
at the Delta Chi house this week end.
SCHOOLS
Early Risen First
in Line to Buy the
Notre Dame Tickets
Along the cold frosty sidewalk
at 4:30 this morning a few enthus
iastic followers of the pigskin sport
lined up to wait until the tickets
for the Notre Dame-Nebraska game
should be placed on sale. When
the doors opened, the early risers
were at the head of the line and
those that didn't get up until 5
o'clock had to drop In on the rear
of a line a half block long.
At 8 o'clock all the reserved
seats in the grandstand were sold
out and general admission tickets
were issued to those who would see
the battle. An hour and a half
later, the Lincoln block of paste
boards was completely wiped out.
Six thousand had been alloted to
this city and that many more could
have been sold very easily, for
many were disappointed.
ON ARCHITECTURE
Professor Talks on Architectural
Engineering and Development
of Architectural Style
Professor George U. Chatburn,
chairman of the department of Ap
plied Mechanics and Machine Design
continued bis lecture on "Architec
tural Engineering" to freshmen en
gineers last night at five o'clock in
convocation in M. IS. 206.
"Architecture is a fine art and
deals especially with beauty of con
struction and form," said Professor
Chatburn in beginning. "Beauty is
an emotion. It has been found by
experience that certain elements brin,
out and accentuate this emotion or
imagination. Elements that contrib
ute to beauty are symmetry, propor
tion, and size, though the last perhaps
goes farther than beauty, in that it
producrs a suggestion of grandeur,
sublimity. Color and ornamentation
are also elements of beauty. Color,
though a weak element and used only
to enhance beauty, cannot be neg
lected. "An architect must also study com
position, which treats of the arrange
ment of the parts of a building, not
necesarily symmetrically. Style is
also a consideration of the architect.
Style is that kind of building treat
ment which a majority of the people
of a certain age considered as worthy.
Examples are: Greek, with fiat archi
traves supported by many columns:
Ttoman, with true arches and pilas
ters; Gothic, with pointed arches. The
modern French style, popular in this
country a few deacdes ago, is the
pattern after which the oldest build
ing on the campus was modeled "U"
Hall.
"The architectural engineer .has
more to do with strength, stability
and utility. However, any building
must have the elements both of archi
tecture and of engineering knowl
edge. Mathematics, mechanics of
structures, materials of construction
and their strength and properties, me
ehnnieal drawing, physics, chemistry,
and technical subjects form the basis
of the architectural engineering course
in the University of Nebraska. But
the engineer must take some non
technical work in order to place him
helf on a level with men whom he
meets in later life. ,
"The negative and positive qualities
of personality are important in de
termining whether a man is a success
or a failure. Some of the positive
qualities are: cleanliness enthusiasm,
honesty, tact, self command and con
fidence, courtesy and initiative." He
finished before beginning to show the
slides of the development of archi
tectural style from mediaeval to the
last century. ,
The Gothic style utilized the arch
of the Romans, but stripped it of its
element of weakness In compression,
according to Professor Chatburn. The
point, to which this style brought back
the arch, took on a spiritual signifi
cance which was later carried out
further in ,the famous cathedrals of
Europe with their many spires and
long, grouped windows. He also
showed the development of the rose
window from a filler in the groups
of arched windows to a prominent
feature of the buildings. The very
ornate modern French style is used
in many of the new hotels iii America,
the professor said, among them the
Fontonolle hotel in Omaha.
The development of the Byzantine
style from the Roman came next,
when the aroh was extended in depth,
it formed the ceilings of rooms and
was known as vaulting. Two such
vaultings often intersected to form
groined arches. Oa the top of their
intersection the Romans often placed
a dome of a Simple hemisphere. The
eastern peoples ued more than the
mere half sphere and brought It to
point topped by apinaret.
SIGMA DELTA GUI
ANNUAL
CONCLAVE
HELD IN KANSAS
"Oz" Black Representative of
Nebraska Chapter Makes Re
port cf Convention
MANY JOURNALISTS THERE
Vote to Hold Next Meeting at the
University cf Minnesota
at Mnneapolis
All thirty-eight active chapters of
Sigma Delta Chi, men's national hon
orary journalistic fraternity, were rep
resented at the eighth annual conven
tion of that organization, held Novem
ber 15, 16 and 17, according to "Oz"
Black, delegate from the Nebraska
chapter. Representatives from two
alumni chapters also attended the con
clave. Committee reports, speeches
by nationally-known journalists, dis
cussions of the different phases of
newspaper work, and social events,
made up the program of the conven
tion. It was decided to hold the next
annual convention at the University of
Minnesota at Minneapolis.
One of the features of the confer
ence was the reports of the activities
of Sigma Delta Chi Chapters on o'her
campuses. In some univerisities, the
Sigma Delta Chi chapters conduct
news bureaus, which send out news
t.torios about students to their home
dailies, Neai3""all of the chapters en
tertainment the high school editors
of their states at banquets. The pub
lication of the humorous magazine of
the school is a function of most of
the Sigma Delta Chi chapters. The
journalistic organization also in many
cases stages a "gridiron" banquet for
the local business men. A contest Is
hold every year to determine the chap
ters that are most active. In the past
year the following chapters received
mention for special activity: Cornell,
Grinneil, Illinois, Ames, Marquette,
Michigan, North Dakota and Okla
homa. Among the prominent journalists at
tending the conclave were, Lee A.
White, past president of Sigma Delta
Chi and managing editor of the De
troit Journal, and Kenneth C. Holgate
of the Wall Street Journal. The fra
ternity, adopted a new ritual written by
Mr. White and Cyril Arthur Player of
the Detroit News, who is considered
io be one of the most brilliant jonr
nalists in the country.
In a speech made to the entire stu
dent body of the Kansas Agricultural
College, Mr. White defended the mod
ern newspaper against charges of in
accuracy and sensationalism made
against it. lie emphasized the won
derful system of news transmission
built up by newspapers by declaring
that despite the fact that Italian au
thorities tried to hold back the news
ot the Pope's death, the news was in
San Francisco thirteen minutes after
the event occurred, and in thirty min
utes the newspaper accounts of the
death were being sold in all the prin
cipal cities of this country. Mr. White
declared that the church, the school
and the newspapers were the three
most potent factors for good in the
community.
Among the social events of the 'con
vention were a luncheon given by
Theta Sigma Phi, women's honorary
journalistic eorority, a dance, a con
vention banquet and a convention
smoker.
An address of welcome was deliv
ered to the convention by W. M. Jar
dine, president of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. Paring the con
vention n humorous sheet entitled
"Sigma Delia Sigh" was published.
"The thing i lint impressed me
most," said Oz Black, the Nebraska
delegate, "was the fact, that Sigma
Delta Chi is the only organization that
is'working for bigger achievements in
journalism."
"Everyone at the convention seem
ed to be seriously interested in news
paper work."
About sixty delegates representing
forty alumni and active chapters at
tended the meeting. Oz Black was
the alternate from Nebraska, Jack
Austin, the regular delegates, being
unable to attend the meeting.
The convention granted an alumni
chapter of Sigma Delta Chi to Kansas
City and revoked the charters of the
chapters in two universities.
