A CHRISTMAS CANDLE.
One Christmas candle with its
value measured in terms of food,
clothing, or lodging for Russian stu
dents will make this a "White Christ
inas" for every Nebraska student who
will make the purchase today.
It takes Just five little pontiles to
keep a Russian student alive for one
day, and only one hundred and fifty
to save his life for a 'month.
Every Nebraska student is going to
the Community Christmas tree and
sing. Returning home with the true
spirit of Christmas kindled 'in each
heart and mind, it will be fitting for
each student to burn a Christmas
candle as a symbol of the bonds of
friendship which eists between the
students of Russia and America.
Men in the University have been
cultivating a rather unwholesome
habit while on the campus. They
stand in front of the main entrance
ot the buildings between classes
smoking and blocking the entrance so
that everyone must wriggle In be
tween them if he would reach the
door. A ruling was made against
such practices at one time, but it
st'cins that it has been forgotten.
At the University of Illinois men
are not allowed to smoke in the
buildings, nor while going between the
buildings. There certainly la no log
leal defense from the point of view
.1 the smoker and tho hnblt not only
is contrary to the principles of the
I'nii-frtity but Is repulsive to those
that must bo inconvenienced by it.
When the iron fence was around
the campus, men seemed to have the
habit of throwing their cigarettes
nway before entering, and it was a
good habit, but with the passing of
tho old guard the cigarettes were
carried to the doors of the building
and then thrown away. For tho bene
fit of the majority in the University
it would be better if the smokers
would show a little more considera
tion.
THE MESSIAH.
Singing and music are inseparably
connected with the festivities of
Christmas time. The stories of the
birth of Christ always contain men
tion of the praises "Glory to God '
and "Peace on earth, to men good
will" that filled the air on that silent
holy night.
The conception of Christmas today
always includes carols and hymns of
praise an association that may be
traced back to the circumstances of
His birth.
"The Messiah" Is today the favor
ite and most symbolic of the Christ
mas musical offerings, and its pre
sentation is as inspirational as it is
beautiful. It is filled with the glory
of His coming and of His greatness,
and it radiates a magnificent spirit
that cannot fail to to enter into the
heart of every hearer.
"The Messiah" Is presented in con
cert the world .over, usually about
Christmas time, and it is always re
ceived with an enthusiasm that is
fitting to its sacred associations.
MAKE HIS CORNHUSKER.
A request for a half-million dollar
gymnasium for Cornhuskers was coa
tained in the budget recntly made
out by the Board of Regents to be
submitted to the legislature at the
coming session . At this Bession the
133 members of the legislature one
hundred representatives and tlrrt?
three senators will consider the
question of appropriating money for
this gymnasium.
In the minds of those few h'pia
lators who fortunately are intimately
acquainted with the University, there
Ih no doubt as to the need of the new
gum, and these men can bo relied
upon to vote favorably upon tho re
quest. Uut the great majority of the
members of the legislature, unfortun
ately, do not really know th Uni
versity, and cannot understan.1 Its
needs clearly. Decause of this fact,
every loyal Cornhusker has an op
portunity to help Nebraska Kt the
gym she wants and needs.
Every solon in the state legi.da
ture Is known by one or more Uni
versity students. Practically all ntn
dents will go home this week 10
spend the holidays. The legislature
mceis the first week after the . holi
days to consider this request for tho
gymnasium. Every Cornhusker is
urged to go around in the home town
and see the legislator that he or she
knows, and explain to him tho vital
necessity of a new gym. Toll him
all about Nebraska, interest him in
Its various activities, and appeal to
his pride in state Institutions.
Explain to his how Minnesota, a sis
ter state, has three gyms, the small
Mt of which Is larger than Nebras
v- ontimmtod structure. Tell
Mm how Ames, a smaller and newer
crhnol. has two gymnasiums. Tell
him how Creighton, a small secretar-
ton .nii at Omaha, has a mucn
larger and better gymnasium than
Nebraska, the State University.
And while you have him Interested,

kindle the dying spark of hope in the
despondent heart ot some student in
the desolate city of Smyrna. The rays
of your Christmas candle may reach

may lie the moans of bringing happi

Library Notes
Professor Mullenberg has divided
his English classes into small groups.
These groups are being taktvi 011 a
tour through the Library by the Ref
erence Librarian.
The Reference Librarian is giving
out from her desk a list of books en
titled "A Shelf of books for a 0110
room school." The twenty-five books
listed were selected by ballot by li
brarians and teachers at the confer
ences of the merican Library Asso
ciation and the National Education
Association and are placed in the or
der of their popularity with the voters.
The Library is receiving "The
Science News-Letter, a weekly sum
mary of current science. It is Issued
from Washington, D. C, by Science
Service and is interesting reading.
Ask Miss Craig, reference librarian
for it.
MAGNATE8 KEEN
FOR GRID GAME8
A few days ago a student found
himself barred from the use of the
library because ot signing fictitious
names at the Reserve Desk. If stu
dents would remember to return li
brary books to the library before leav
ing for vacation they would find their
fines much smaller upon return.

NOTICE!
The railroad companies ask that
the students buy tickets early so
that en estimate may be made as
to how much equipment will be
needed for the Christmas rush.
Tickets will be put on sale Mon

LYRIC "The Impossible Mrs. Bel-

with Gloria Swanson playing her part.
Love scenes, murder scenes, scenes on
a beach in France, scenes in the

dance; the whole picture is a scene
a dazzling and glorious scene any

Story A triangle love afair,. mur
der, divorce, and the divorced woman
thrown on the world at large as im
possible. An American author with
strange ideas of love suddenly broad
ens his vision on meeting the woman
with no virtue. The binding dero
tion of a father toward his son al
mostbreaks up a pleasing romance,
and the daring party of the wicked
count puts spice into the whole pic
ture. The character parts, too, were
extremely good.

so near to Christmas, a visit to

in a more pleasant frame of mind.

The Polo Grounds, and not the
Yankee stadium, will play host' dur
ing 1923 to the majority of the big
football games with which New York
is favored annually, if you care to
accept the verdict of Jim Tlerney.
James is the smooth, plausible,
gentleman who sits, in the office,
labelled secretary, at the headquar
ters of the New York Giants and is
not inclined to give either himself or
his employers the worst of it.
However, in view of the seemly
list of prospective games he outlines,
it would appear the Yankees will be
forced to institute a campaign of
competitive throat-cutting or be
satisfied with the dregs.
According to James, the same
teams that appeared at the Polo
Grounds in 1922 have asked for re
turn engagements and are not al
together certain of being obliged,
owing to the fact that Notre Dame,
Centre college and other attractive
entries are seeking dates with tho
Giant management.
There seems to be something ot a
rumor afloat that Notre Dame and
the Army, far from severing rela
tions, are endeavoring to have their
attraction transferred from West
Point to the Polo Grounds as a mat
ter of financial expediency.
Centre's prospective opponent, if
any, is not mentioned. ' The chances
are good, indeed, that Centre would
prefer to make its New York debut
at the Yankee stadium, seating 78,
000, rather than at the Polo Grounds,
which, even when enlarged, will not
exceed a capacity of 55,000. This
might be one of the reprisals the
Yankees are keeping so dark.
The Yankee officials, In any case,
are ominously quiet about theii
schedule of football games. The Lin

METZGER FLAYS
ALL-STAR IDEA
By common consent, the mythical
All-Amerlcan football eleven has been
abandoned by most critics. Time has
proved that football is team play, not
a sport for individual glory. In prev
ious seasons, the Individual has been
proclaimed as pretty much the whole
thing, and certain eperts have as
sumed the task of picking the best
eleven players in America. But at
no time has the best eleven been
chosen. Coaches freely admit that
the Job ot selecting te hbest eleven
from any one squad during a glvlen
season is about as big a task in sport
as any man can handle. Imagine then,
the colossal brain og the expert who
can, at random, choose the best
eleven players In America.
No one ever had a good argument
for the All-American team. At btd
It hurt a great many individuals who
really did more for the success of an
eleven than the few stars who prof
ilted by their spot light. The All
Amerlcan idea i" college football has
always been a direct contradiction of
its highest ideals self-sacrifice for
the good of the team and team play
at all costs.
Wo aro delighted that the All
American idea is dying. It leaves this
tremendously popular sport in a far
healthier state. The Lincoln Star.

BUSY SEASON
AT POSTOFFICE
More than 11,000 packages passed
through the Lincoln postofflce Mon
day on their way out of the city. The
pahcels post windows closed at 8:45
t. m., and by 10 p. m. all packages
had been sorted, sacked and were on
they way to the trains. Postmaster
McClay reports that all mall is be
ing handled in good shape and that
orderly mailing of packages is as
sisting the postal employes in get
tine Christmas packages on their
way on sr'--
J. m. butler, chief clerk of the
railway mall service said Tuesday
that obut twn.y-two men had
been added at Lincoln to handle the
mail on the trains. Several trains are
carrying extra cars to take care ot
the increased loads. Regular mail
clerks are not taking any "leave"
until after the rush. This nearly
doubles the force. According to Mr.
Butler, the mail servicie will be able
to take care of almost any volume
of business, and the only thing to be
feared is ft congestion such as would
arise from a heavy snow storm when
trains would he delayed. The Lin

ZUPPKE REPLIES
TO IOWA'S COACH
Coach Bob Zuppke of Blinois U.
declares the Illini-Nebraska .football
game, scheduled for Oct. 6 at Urbana
as the opener of next fall's play, will
not be changed in form because of
the agreement to exchange forma
tions two weeks before tho game.
"We shall exchange all the forma
tions to be used, but not the signals
or plays to be used," Zuppke said in
answer to Howard Jones of Iowa,
who recently declared the proposed
plan a "freak and impractical."
"With a knowledge of tho forma
tions only there will be a large va
riety of plays which will be used and
the game will be one which will taki
as much strategy as any first game,
and more than games which have
been planned ahead by scouts." The
