Coach Schulte knows for he has developed track stars in every branch of tha sport. He has developed stars at Nebraska in his four years here, and is developing stars now. Perhaps the big headliner of "In dian" Schulte's career was the de velopment of Bob Simpson, star hurdler and sprinter who held the worlds records in the hurdle races up till last year.

Such men as Rider and Parker are 880-yard runers who are on rscord as men of speed. Maurice Gardner, cap tain of the 1924 team is perhaps the best half-miler that Schulte has de veloped.

SPEAKS ON IDEALS OF ANCIENT GREEKS Prof. J. A. Rice Lectures to Freshmen on "Culture and the Classics." . The ancient Greek, his ideate and how he would respond to our civili zation were the subjects of a lecture by Prof. J. A. Rice of the depart ment of ancient language, who spoke on "Culture and the Classics" to freshman lecture students of College of Arts and Sciences, Monday and Tuesday. The courage and the independence of the Greeks were their outstanding features, declared the speaker. In mdoern society these traits, have not been lost but they have been weak ened. "If an ancient Grsek were to visit us today, he would find some things that would please him and others that he would not approve of," Pro fessor Rice asserted. "He would ap prove of young folks dancing and en joying themselves, although h-s would not understand the music. He would delight in the training of young men for military duty. A baseball game would please him but he would won der why all did not take part instead of a few. "He would wonder why all young men look like Kuppenheimer clothes ads and why all the young women wore practically the same style of dress. He would wonder at our lack of individuality in clothes. Believed in Freedom. "The i Greeks believed in absolute freedom and they carried it through. 'Freedom to do right means freedom to do wrong' is the motto' frequently found in early Greek literature. They had a freedom of religion which was not again known until the last hun dred years. They were not afraid of their gods because they made their own gods. They had nothing like the (Continued on Pag 4.) OPEN TICKET SALE FOR VALLEY MEET Student Athletic Books and Passes Not to Be Ac cepted. TASSELS AND VIKINGS WILL CONDUCT DRIVE The tick-et sale for the Missouri Valley track meet to be held in the Memorial stadium Friday and Satur day of this week, will begin today on the campus. The price will bo one dollar for reserved seats and one dol lar and ( fifty cents for box seats. Student tickets and N mens passes will not be accepted. The Vikings, junior mens interfra ternity organization, and Tassels, girls pep organization, will conduct the sal'3. Each buyer will receive a tag with a recepit attached. The tag will distinguish the bearer as a boost er of the big meet. The receipt can be 'exchanged at Latsch Bros, for a reserved seat' ticket. The gate receipts will be divided among the schools of the Valley to pay, in part, for the expense of. transportation of the teams to Lin coln. It is a Valley meet and none of the returns will go' to the Ne braska athletic department so the students of Nebraska are required to pay admission as well as the rest of the public. The meet was not granted to Nebraska until December so no allowance could be made on tha stu dent tickets. N men, who are ad mitted free to all athletic contests, will have to pay for this meet. No passes can ba granted because the money received belongs to all the Valley schools. John Selleck, business agent, made the statement that Nebraska hopes to make the meet a paying proposi tion to the other schools; a thing that has not been accomplished at Missouri Valley Championship meets in the last few years. "If Nebraska students are behind the meet and put it over, the Mis souri Valley championship will in all probability be held at Nebraska every year, and in time become per manent as the Drake relays are to Drake, or the Kansas relays to Kan sas," Mr. Selleck said.
