Turner and Lewellen C. Hawley wore elected to membership in the Kosmet Klub, men's honorary dramatic club, at a meeting of the Kosmets Monday evening at the Phi Delta Theta house. Both of tho new members of the Klub are men active in dramatic work. Turner and Hawley will fill the places left vacant by "Ike" Smith nnd "Mike" Meyers who are now In active in tho Klub. This brings the Kosmet Klub up to a full member ship of fifteen men. Additional plans for the annual Kosmet production "The Yellow Lan tern." to be given April 24 at the Orplienm were discussed at the meet ing. Work on the production is pro pressing favorably and the Kosmets predict a great success for their play. Investigation Is under way to de termine the possibilities of taking the show to Omaha this year after playing in Lincoln. Alumni of the Klub liv ing in Omaha are enthusiastic over the prospects of the production this rear and are demanding consideration of the Klub in taking the show to Omaha. The Kosmets voted definitely to re vive and manage the traditional "Pan hellenic" ball this year. It will be Kchnluled some time in February. The 'Tan-her Is the formal celebra tion of the Greek letter folk. In past years it was one of the most brbil liant events of the season and this year it will be revived with all the pre-war splendor. Announcement of the date of the Tan-hellenic" formal will be made in the near future according to the com mittee. It will probably be staged t the Scottish Rite Temple in the later part of February. The Kosmet Klub Is branching out into activity this year to revive the customs and tradition of the Univer sity and the Klub before the war. DR. WHITE SPEAKS M DISEASE TO SI6MA XI History of Disease Prevention Methods Outlined by Professor of Eactriolegy Al the first meeting of Nebraska charter of Sigma Xi, honorary scien tific fraternity, held Monday evening in llessey Hall. Dr. H. II. Waite. head of the department of baUeriology, spoke on "Disease Prevention, Past and Present." It. Waite told or the early concep tion of disease in general, and par ticularly of communicable diseases, and followed with a revview of the synclionous development of religious beliefs and the supernatural causation of disease. References were cited from Biblical literature dealing with methods of preventing and controll ing d'sease. The ancient origin of smallpox innoculatlon was discussed. The speaker told f contributions of the Greeks and Romans, and the Middle Ages to prevention of disease, and he spoke on the different theories of contagion. The influence of the microscope on the discovery of the course of disease was presented by the speaker, who also spoke of the work of several famous men along medical lines. He treated the period of discovery of disease-producing bac teria, and of protozoal disease, and cloesd by speaking of insects and oth er carriers, and the methods of pre venting such diseases. W. A.

Junior-Senior Prom All Formal A Junlor-Benior prom, surpassing nny of the proms given at Nebraska in pre-war days and open to stu dents of all four classes, has been scheduled for January 5 at the Scot tish Rite Temple, according to an nouncement made last night by thb committee from the upper classes In charge. The prom will be a formal prob ably the only formal to be held (his year in the luxurious ball room and lounging rooms of the Temple. Al though the hall will easily accommo date three houndred couple, only two hundred tickets will ho validated a the Student Activities office and put on sale by members of the commit tee. In this way, it Is expected that the floor will not he crowded with dancers. Tickets will soon go on sale at $3.00 per couple. January 5, the date set for the prom Is the first Friday after the SIX MEN OUT FOR OE GAGE UUfNTER Men Who Expect to be in Line for Managership must Kepori to Practice Expect to Choose New Assistant Manager Soon After the First of the Year Basketball junior-assistant man ager applicants and all sophomore candidates must meet in the athletic office at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Of the twelve Juniors who applied about six are reporting at practices according to the athletic office. Of the eight sophomores who applied only two or thre eare reporting at practices. Mhen who expect to be considered for junior-assistant man ager must come to practices begin ning immediately, was the edict of the office. The junior.assistant will probabbly be chosen about the first of of the new year. Basketball practice is going for ward steadily so that sophomore can didates will have an excellent chance to make reputations that will help them when they try for junior-assistant manager, the coaches said. Geraniums Arrive From England With Inspection Ticket Dr. Paul B. Sears of the Botany department, has received a shipment of frenk geraniums from England, after the usual amount of govern ment "red tape." Plants are not al lowed to enter this country without having their teeth examined, so to speak, and these plants from England were shipped to Washington for in spection and in course of time have arrived at the University. Dr. Sears say these freak geran iums grew in England during past summer. They are a curious plant, and will be studied in the Botany de partment to determine what is wrong with them. For a while the plant grows along like any ordinary, well behaved "geranium, then it suddenly develops into a radically different kind of geranium. The plant has a blossom equally eccentric. It sends out a red blossom called "scarlet flame." which sends out a branch at random with a different kind of flower. The geraniums were rather weak and sickly when they first arrived, but they are improving now, and at a later time Dr. Sears expects they may be exhibited In the green house. Incomplete Stadium reports Dec. 10 showed that 5S0 students had pledged $24,054 to the stadium fund which is an average of $41.75 plus per student The stadium drive committees had not made complete reports yesterday but will continue the canvass today and complete it after the holidays. A mop up squad will follow the regular committees after the holiday and visit every student who failed to pledge to the fund. The 580 students who pledged are but one sixth of the student body and at the ratio these loyal Sooners contributed, the stu dent campaign would bring in more than $150,000. Students are expected to pledge more than 50,000 before the drive i finished and the faculty and citizens of Norman will be requested to do their bit before the alumni and clti lans of the state are solicited. The Oklahoma Daily. Professor J. B. Burt has been ap- nntnted member of the American pharmaceutical associations commit LINCOLN, to Surpass Parties of the Year Christmas holidays. The committees are making ar rangements bo that the entire Scot tish Rite Temple will be opened to the dancers at the prom. Tho loung ing rooms will be put at the dlsposa of (he committee so that every luxury afforded by the Temple, will be open for the first time. President of the Junior and senior classes have appointed the chairmen of the prom committees of the two upper classes to co-operate In making the event the most brilliant of the formal season. Tho chairmen will appoint sub-committees to look after tho details. In addition to sale of tickets by the committee, tickets will be put on sale at the Student Activities office In order that no one will miss a chance to seciii-e a ticket when announce ment is made of the putting on sale of tho pasteboards. Miss Dedensky Will Tell of Revolution In Russia at Vespers Miss Brucia Dedensky,. Ph.D., from Warsaw, Russia who was a witness of the revolutionary conditions in Russia after the war, and who is now a member of the faculty of Central College, will speak at Vespers Tues day afternoon at 5 o'clock, at Ellen Smith hall, on "Modern Conditions in Russia." Marie Snavely, a junior, will lead. Miss Dedensky is in this country under the auspices of the Quakers, with whom she became affiliated in Russia. She speaks several languages one authority says four, and another source of information adds three to the figure. Her command of Eng lish makes her a particularly desir able speaker. CHANGE BASKETBALL RULES THIS YEAS Basketball rules.have been chailged to a certain extent (his year. Al though there is nothing like the radi cal change made in wrestling, the now enforcements are of interest to all en joying the cage game. Four technical fouls have been removed from the classifications of fouls and are known as violations, the penalty for such, vio lations being to give possession of the ball to the non-offending team at the nearest point on the side (not the end) out of bounds. The most important revision of the year, probably, relates to the creation of a seventeen-foot go;il zone in which all personal fouls committed by the duf mding team results in non-offending team being given two "free throws." Tlio mle regarding the movement of the leet in starting a play while stand ing has been reworded in order to clearly indicate when ball Is to be disposed of. Also some important changes in "time out" were introduced. The referee is now under obliga tion to request the co-operalion of the umpire in "out of bounds" and "coach ing" decisions. There are still per sonal and technical fouls Besides the violations. WILL RECOMMEND MEIl 10 OXFORD Applications From American Wo men Desiring to Study in Eng land Will be Received At the request of the principals of the five Oxford Women's Societies the Society on International Relations of the America'n Association of Uni versity Women has arranged to re ceive at its office in New York City, .mnlicatons from American women graduates desiring to study at Oxford, and to forward to the principals at Oxford recommendations regarding these candidates. Each year the principals of the five Oxford Women's Societies will reserve a certain number of places for American women graduate stu dents and will fill these on the basis of the recommendations of the Amer lean committee. Only women of unusual scholarly ability and training, and of serious purpose, can expect to be admitted to Oxford for graduate study. In general, only those who have already had a year of graduate work in this country can hope to compete with other graduate students at Oxford. The following suggestions have been received from the Oxford principals regarding the types of students who could most profitably study there. a. Those intending to be a resi dence two years and planning to take either a research degree (BLItt. or B.Sc). a B.A." honours degree (if ad (Contlnned on Page Four.) NEB., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12. Girl' Cornhusker Party Will Be a Brilliant Affair The Cornhusker party for girls will be tho biggest and best ever, no cording to the plans of the committee. All girls In the University are urged to attend the party, as It is an un paralleled opportunity to dispense with all tho conventions and appea.' In costumes which are seldom worn on the campus. If you have always nourished a de sire to be Cleopatra or Antony, or an acrobat, or a lizard, or anything equal ly fantastic, this is your chance, sav the girls of the W. S. G. A. Board, under whose auspices the party is put on. The event which conies the night of the men's Cornhusker banquet, is held in the Armory, and the admis sion will he thirty cents. It Is a University tradition, and Is an all girls affair. I E Engineer Must Investigate Pos sibilities of Constructing Rink and Location Ice skating on University tenni3 courts is not yet definitely assured, according to a statement made yes terday by Mr. John K. Selleck, agent of student activities. The chief en gineer of the University consulted Mr. Bates, city engineer Monday after noon. Mr. Bates has had several ex periences in constructing skating rinks. The courts west of the Chemistry building will probably be used in stead of those south of Ressey hall, Mr. Selleck said, for the former will he destroyed in any event in building the stadium. A flood light may be mounted on some high point near the contemplated rink so that the rink may be used in the evening. If these courts can be flooded eas ily and without any cost to the ath letic department, it will be attempted to prepare the rink at once. Among the difficulties to be faced are: that the courts are higher than the sur rounding land; that the ice must be smooth and several inches thick; that bulging of the ice will break up the formation. OEfliG SPEAKS 10 M EN6IH Explains the Science of Physical Chemistry at uonvocaiion Monday Aaftemoon nr. H. G. Deming. professor of chemistry, explained the science, phy sical chemistry to freshman engineers in convocation Monday at 5 o'clock in M. E. 2t;S. "Whenever a subject can't be classified as either physics or chemistry, it is called physical chem istry," said Professor Deming in be ginning. "Formerly a distinction between the two sciences was easy, but it is no longer possible to draw any but a forced distinction. In the beginning physicists developed the simple laws of mechanics, and chemists analyzed minerals. Now that both deal with subjects not so close to the general senses such as the subdivisions of matter the two sciences are nearly indistinguishable. The distinction be tween them, if one can be made, is that physics is concerned with prop erties common to all matter, while chemistry distinguishes between the properties of the different rubstances. . "The structure of matter is perhaps the most spectacular part of physico chemical research. The atom is small est subdivision of matter that will still show all the properties of a par ticular type of matter. Molecules are clusters of atoms. The atomic theory of the structure of matter was first conceived by the Greeks, near Smyrna, but was undeveloped to any extent until 1800. If they are magnified two million diameters the atom would ap pear as a period on a printed page, a small molecule as a dime, a large molecule would be several yards in diameter, and colloidal particles which are so small that they are invisible to the highest powered microscopes, would be rods across. It we let one cubic Inch represent a molecule, we are able to detect with the spectro scope a portion of matter ?s small as the tapitol at Washington. "Electrons and their nucleus make ip the atom. The electron is a small negative charge of electricity, the nucleus bearing a positive charge. The discharge of an electric current through a rarifieid gaa is a stream of electrons, called catv,de rays, fcr they originate st the cathode, that point (Continued on Page 4) 1022. RECEIVE LETTER TELLING OF IRK Has Had Many Unusual and In teresting Experiences in tne Schools of India VISITS OLD SCH0OLH0USE Trip Made Into the Interior Carry ing All Personal supplies With Them En Route Dean Phllo M. Buck of the College of Arts nnd Sciences now in India on an exchange professorship with Prof. Joshi of Baroda College has written to Chancellor Avery telling of his work and of many interesting exper iences In connection with his stay in the Far East. Dean Buck will not leturn to the University until thd last of the second semester. A visit to the school at Naini Tal, j where Dean Buck went to school dur ing his childhood day's in India, was one of the features of the first trip into the interior by the party wi l which he is traveling. On the trip, the men carried all their own sup plies and bedding, as the Indian gov ernment furnished none. The gov ernment has a system of dak-bungalows or rest houses for convenience of travelers in the interior. The journey took the party into the mountains before bringing them back to a large government college and mission college at Bareilly. Dean Buck lectured at the college and at a theological seminary there. The Home Department of the In dian government, in charge of the lecture tour which the Nebraska Dean is making, was host at Delhi and showed Dean Buck a new govern ment University just established there. From Delhi, Dean Buck was taken to Agra where he was shown the government college and an insti tution under the direction of the Church of England. The tour ended at Baroda where the regular lecture work began. Eight lectures a week at the col lege is the program which was set before Dean Buck. In addition, he delivers a couple of lectures each week in Bombay at the University, of which the University of Baroda is a branch. Invitations have been received by the Dean to lecture in many of the Indian cities. Among them came an invitation from Mr. K. Natarajan, ed itor of the most representative mod erate Indian weekly, to come to Bom bay to deliver an address before the Bombay Presidency committee on So cial Reform. This committee in cludes the leaders in the "new India' movement. 'There is no question of keeping myself occupied in a most interesting way," the Dean writes. "The govern ment was given us an automobile and a host of attendants. I shall be glad in this one respect to get back to a country where I am not all the time being waited upon." In regard to Baroda college. Dean Buck writes that it has a fine faculty, but one which is exceedingly small for the number of students. lie is conducting classes for both men and women (women only lately having had an opportunity to go to institu tions for higher learning) an a series of lectures open to the public. "Baroda is truly one of the most advanced cities in respect to public Improvements," the letter from the Dean states. "There are fine schools, a universal education law, fine pub lic buildings, and in general an air of prosperity and comfort." Dean Buck has met many of the leaders of the "new India" movement. He describes some of the leaders as influential with the people and as regularly drawing immense crowds. Some of the leaders speak to the people in English. Immodesty consists in being con sclous of it. FROM DEAN BUCK Plotters Reign in Instigation of Second "Rag Staff Feed" The cohorts that publish the Rag have declared a feast for the night of Thursday, December 14, at the Temple. These slight deviations from the s'raight and narrow are the cus toms of the staff and they are honor able customs. A business meeting is US II nllv in order, but it has been known to be ruled out of order, so who knows? The spirit of Christmas has given those in charge occasion to call this a Christmas .party and so It shall be. Each one is asked to bring a small gift In a small package or a large gift Dr. George Brubb is Chosen Acting Dean of Dental College Dr. George A. Grobb, chairman of the department of Dental Liter ature and Applied Science, has been chosen as acting dean of the Dental College beginning January 1, and continuing until a perma nent dean Is selected. Dr. Clyde A. Nelson, who was appointed acting dean to take the p'ace of Dr. Clyde Davis, resigned, withdraws from the University faculty at the end of December. Dr. Grubb takes his place pending selection of the new dean. Dr. Grubb was appointed chair man of the department In 1918 when he was added to the faculty He lives at 1919 Garfield and has his office In the Dentistry build ing. HONORARY SOCIETIES 10 SELL TICKETS FOR BANQUET ON FRIDAY Joint Meeting to be Held in the Social Science Auditorium at Seven O'clock To Make a Strenuous Effort to Sell More Than a Thousand Tickets This Week A joint meeting of the Vikings Iron Sphinx, Green Goblins and Corn cobs will be held In Social Science Auditorium Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, to discuss plans for ticket selling for the Cornhusker banquet next Friday evening at the Scottish Pile Temple. A strenuous effort is being made to get a thousand men out to the ban ouet. Last year seven hundred men turned out for the big affair and many others failed to get tickets be cause of the limited aeeommocations offered. This year the Scottish Rite cathedral will take care of all the men who wish to come. The astounding success of the 1922 football season is counted on to brin. he desired thousand men rushing to the scene of the gridiron celebration. A second successive Missouri Valley championship, defeat of the Notre Dame team, the nation-wide praise which has been bestowed on the Cornhusker team and the placing of seven Xebraskans on the All-Missouri Valley and one Xel.raskan on the All-Western, are a few of the things which will be celebrated. But probably bigger, in point of lasting significance, that the success of this year's team is the success of the campaign to raise $400,000 for the Memorial Stadium, the full seating capacity, minus some of the trim mings, of which is assured for the ltvj.l football season. This monstrous achievement is worthy of the great est rejoicing by Cornbnskers, and the banquet next Friday will no doubt be the largest and most brilliant affair which has been staged at the com pletion of any gridiron campaign. Jp.ck Rest Under Care Of Specialist at the Lincoln Sanitarium Jack best, veteran Nebraska train er, who has been ill for the last two months, was taken to the Lincoln Sanitarium, where he will be under the direct personal care of Dr. Everett. Room 39. Lincoln Sanitarium, is his location, and the Athletic office sug gests that visits from students at any time will help to cheer "Xebras ka's Dad." Jack Best. Regular staff meetings have been instituted at the University Library on the third Friday evening of each month. The staff dines together at 6 o'clock and then takes up mat ters of professional interest. in a large package, but not the vice versa. There will be no amusements other than those that naturally corre or those that that sign up at the door. Everyone that is coming must sig nify hi sintention by Thursday night for that 1 tshe "dead-line." Sign up at the Xebraskan office.

Staff heads will be announced by the editor, Adolph Wenke, in tha Wednesday issue of The Dally Ne braskan, and by the end of the week all other staff appointments will have been made. The full staff will prob ably be announced Thursday. This year the Cornhusker will hav no senior managing editor, but the work of that office will be carried on by other members of the staff. Cornhusker offices are In the Awg wan office this year, in the northwest corner of the basement of the Ad ministration building. The editors and staff members will be there at regular office hours from now until the publication of the annual In the spring. The Cornhusker, Xebraska's big an nual, is a book of which Nebraska students and faculty and alumni i.re proud. It is a memory book, giving in picture and story the daily history of the University, and serves ss a review of the happenings of the col lege year. The volumes of the Cornhusker which a student acquires during his four years at Nebraska make a four volume library that is more valuable to graduates than all the other books of their libraries combined, in point of college memories. Xo other four volum l'b'aiy forms such a complete record of college days and a college :a.eer as a set of Cornhuskers. "A skillful combination of illustra tions, text, beautiful borders, decor ative division, drawings, special fea tures, wonderful photosraphy. artistic engravings and fine printing will make our Cornhusker a book that will be artistic and individual, a booh that you will be more than proud to take back home with you." announces Adolph Wenke, editor-in-chief of the Cornhusker The Cornhusker visualizes forceful ly and artistically the life of the cam pus. It is a reminder of all the ath letic events, class affairs, fraternities and sororities, and all the other Unl--rslty activities. FRATERNITIES MEET TO 0ISC0SS BETTER 1SS Twenty-twc of Twenty-eight Rep resented at the Meeting in Schulte's Office Twenty-two of the twenty-eight fraternities were represented in a meeting held Thursday nicht in Coach Schulte's office for the purpose of discussing scholarship. Each chair man of the scholarship committee representing his fraternity was called upon to outline the way in which he was conducting his study table and to report on other subjects connect ed with the scholarship of his or ganization. A booklet to be made up at the be ginning of each semester for the freshman's benefit was discussed. There is already a University Bulletin but it is hard for the new entrants to find what they want. The idea suggested a small booklet of about twelve pages containing the location of buildings, how to drop an hour, how to change a course, and other bits of information that freshmen de sire to know. It is believed that 't will be a great help to the Regis' trar's office and will prevent a stan pede there for information. A com mittee was sppointed to look into the matter, and make a report at the meeiing to take place next semester. The scholarship eligibility rules for athletics made at the last Mis souri Valley Conference were dis cussed at the meeting.
