UNIVERSITY SENATE
REVISES SCHEDULE
A change In the schedule of the
events which take place at the close
of the school year has been made by
vote of the University Senate. A
period of three days given over to
homecoming and roundup activities
WU precede final examinations. Ivy
day will be observed on the Thursday
before final examinations begin. The
jchedule follows:
Thursday, May 28, Ivy day.
Friday, May 29, alumni day.
Saturday, May 30, alumni day.
Sunday, May 81, baccalaureate.
Monday, June 1, examinations.
Tuesday, June 2, examinations.
Wednesday, June 8, examinations.
Thursday, June 4, examinations.
Friday, June 5, examinations.
Saturday, June 6, commencement
exercises.
Mrt. Deweete Suggests Chang.
The plan was presented by Mrs.
Alice Towne Deweese, representing
the honor class of 1908, who request
ed that all fraternity and sorority
banquets and other social events be
pushed forward to Immediately fol
lowing Ivy Day.
Under the new schedule the Uni
versity will be able to be host to the
alumni while the institution is in full
session and with all the faculty and
students on the campus. In past
years representatives of the alumni
have taken the initiative in such dut
ies. The Saturday preceding com
mencement will be the big day for
the alumni. Competitive drills and
other functions will be provided for
entertainment. Since few alumni are
able to attend commencement be
cause of the impossibility of secur
ing seats it was felt that commence
ment need not immediately follow
Alumni day.
It is believed most visitors will
have gone before examinations be
gin, and that following commence
ment day everything can be in read
iness for the influx of teachers and
advanced students who wish to en
ter for the summer school which will
start June 8.
SET DEADLINE FOR

finished for Christmas may do so any

LEAGUE CONSIDERS
LAW ON MARRIAGE
Mrs. C. C. Clayton Speaks to
Women Voter's Organiza
tion About the Statute.
"It seems to be the ten-day-notice
clause of the marriage law which is
being opposed rather than the com
pulsory physical examination provi
sion," declared Mrs. Clara C. Clay
ton at a meeting of the Junior
League of Women Voters in Faculty
Hall of the Temple at 5 o'clock yes
terday. "You all have announcement par
ties," she contended, "why should
you object to having a notice filed at
the court house? It is not necessary
to have it printed in the papers, and
it is not the foolish provision that it
may seem to you. Many young peo
ple rush into marriage without think
ing; surely ten days is not too long
to think it over." This clause ol tne
law may be set aside by the judge of
the district in which the license is is
sued.
"I have talked to many young pno-
nl nnd have vet to meet one that
objects to a compulsory examination
before marriage," stated Mrs. Clay
ton. "Every child is entitled to be
well horn." She went on to explain
that this is only possible when there
is compulsory examination, ana
aoKila.minded Dersons and those sub
ject to hereditary insanity are de
nied the right to marry.
There was an open discussion ol
the subject at the close of Mrs. Clay
ton's talk. A second speaker will dis
cuss the problem on November Z6.

INDIVIDUAL WINNERS
TO RECEIVE ANNUALS
Awards for the 1925 Cornhusker
circulation drive, which will start No-
vamber 17 and end November 21,
are on a different basis than they
have been previously. Last year the
winning organization was given a
leather-bound annual, but this year
it has been decided to make the prize
more worth while to all the members
of the winning organization. The
management has arranged with
Rudge and Guenzel's to give the win
ning organization fifty dollars worth
of furniture. It is felt that this
award will appeal to University wo
men more than the prize has in pre
vious years.
The organization winning second
prize will receive a special leather-
bound Cornhusker with its name
stenclet lpw it in gold lettering.
Each of the women who sell the most
Cornhuskers individually will receive
an annual with her name stenciled
upon it in gold.
List of Furniture.
Below is a list of the furniture that
will be on display in a south show
window at Rudge and Guenzel s to

GIVES SPEECH
ON CIVIC ART
New York Sculptor Compares
Works of Sculpture With
Orchestra Music.
USES STEREOPTICON
SLIDES IN LECTURE
"Civic Art" was the subject of
Burt W. Johnson, New York sculp
tor, speaker at convocation yester
day mornnig in the Temple theater.
He illustrated his address with ster
eopticon slides, showing mainly ex
amples of monumental sculpture and
soldiers' memorials.
"Civic art is oftentimes inspiration
al to better works in sculpture and
architecture," he said. "But to be a
really great work of sculpture there
must be harmony, rhythm, and beau
ty, just as there must be in a musical
selection played by an orchestra."
Mr. Johnson compared some art
with music by an orchestra of which
some instruments played a selection
from Chopin and some played the lat
est jazz. The main idea of sculpture,
he said, is to carry the eye quickly
to the head or heads of the figure. A
piece which presents a strong head,
and still retains harmony and beau
ty, is the ideal.
Use Slide.
The sculptor showed slides of
works in monumental sculpture, by
other artists and himself. Many ex-
ampie8 0f equestrian statues and
j o medanic work were illustrnt-
ed. Among them were his Pomona
group in Pomona, California, and the
Returned Soldier, in Woodside, New
York City.
One illustration showed a fine
piece of work which was located in
uelv surroundings. "You can see
how vital the surroundings affect the
work, even if it is a great one," he
said. "Here the statue was placed
in a small sauare and looming up be
hind it are billboards advertising cig
arettes and biscuits. This spoils all
the effect of art and people should
be more considerate in matters like
this."
Mr. Johnson is touring the country
giving lectures in many museums and
universities.
PUBLISH BOOKLETS

A. Burnett, director of the experi

riculture. The first of these is call
ed "Better Sires Better Stock" is
written by H. P. Davis, professor of
Dairy Husbandry. It deals with the
building up of a higher grade of
stock in Nebraska. Professor Davis
says that the best and cheapest way
to improve the stock is by importing
purebred sires for breeding purposes.
The second booklet, "Nebraska

the standard conditions. It also tells
what may be expected of each trac
tor and what repairs were made dur
ing the tests in order to make the en

Football Squad Leaves for An
nual Gridiron Clash with
Notre Dame.
TEAM MEMBERS AND
COACH DAWSON SPEAK
With the final strains of "The
Cornhusker" from the throats of over
two thousand students ringing in
their, ears the Nebraska squad left
Lincoln at 4 o'clock yesterday from
the Chicago and Northwestern sta
tion, Ninth and S streets, for the No
tre Dame football game at South
Bend, Indiana, Saturday.
Coach Fred T. Dawson, after re
peated demands from the crowd led
by Monroe "Duke" Gleason, express
ed the feeling of the team. "I have
nothing much to say," he said. "The
more we say now the less we will
do. We are having our fun, of
course, but down in our hearts we
are far too serious to say anything
but 'Fight.'"
The crowd began to gather as
early as 3:30. Companies II
and I of the R. O. T. C. marched to
the station in a body and many
classes were excused. Freight cars
and baggage trucks overflowed with
students.
"Duke" Gleason, head cheerleader,
led the crowd in yells before the
team appeared. When a member of
the squad was caught sight of em
Dhatic demands for him were repeat
ed until he appeared and spoke. Cap
tain Ed Weir, Harold Hutchinson,
Doug Meyers, and "Choppy" Rhodes
addressed the crowd.
"There is more truth than poetry,"
said Captain Weir, "In the old saying
that history repeats itself.".
Hutchinson. Meyers, and Rhodes
thanked the students for turning out
"We know you are back of us,"
Rhodes declared, "And you can de
pend on it that we are going to give
all we've got"
HAROLD HUTCHINSON.
"Hutch" has been out of the line
up since the Illinois game, when he
was injured. His return to the squad
will undoubtedly strengthen it in
both offense and defense.
Since Wostoupal has been playing
an excellent game at center, it is
very probable that Hutchinson will
go in as guard instead of center.

lAl
ACT AS THE "JINX TEAM"
where they will clash Saturday
Irih Point for Came.
Because Nebraska has spoiled a
perfectly good no-defeat record,
made at the expense of the strong
est teams in America, for the Irish in
the last two years the South Bend
ers are concentrating on the Husk
ers. If Notre Dame loses it will not
be through lack of practice.
Coach Dawson may spring a sur
prise on the Irish, it has been rum
ored. The possibility that new faces
may be seen in the Husker lineup has
not been a secret for some time.
The return of Hutchinson to the
line will undoubtedly add strength
both on offense and defense. Hutch
inson has been out since the Illinois
game.
Frank Pospisil may get a chance to
start at guard. His work has attract
ed attention for some time and it :'s
believed that he may have earned a
regular place in the line.
Wostoupal's playing at center this
season has been more than satisfac
tory and therefore it is probable that
Hutchinson will go in the line as
guard instead of center.
Locke, fleet halfback, may not
start the game, but it is not prob
able that he will remain on the side
lines long. Avard Mandery is the
probable selection for right half.
The Probable Lineup.
The following is a probable lineup:
Nebraska Pos. Notre Dame
Robertson, 168 re Hunsinger, 170
Molzen, 191
Pospisil, 185
Wostoupal, 190
Hutchinson, 188

qb Stuhldreher, 151
rh D. Miller, 160
Rhodes, 167
A. Mandery, 162 lh Crowley, 158
Myers, 180 fb Layden, 161
Knute Rockne may not start this
lineup against Nebraska, but Ne-
braskans believe he will. Rockne
will take no chances on this game.
The following thirty-one men will
make the trip:
Ends Collins, Robertson, R.
Mandery, Burnham, Gillan, Dover.
Tackles Captain Ed Weir, Mol
zen, Scholz, Gray.
Guards Hutchinson, Pospisil, .T.
Weir, Hubka, Gross, Ogden.
Centers Wostoupal, Grow.
Quarterbacks Bloodgood, Bron-
son, Kamm.
Halfbacks Rhodes, A. Mandery,
Locke, Mielenz, Dailey, Smith, Du
Teau, Wickham.
Fullbacks Myers, Ristine.
Reports from Notre Dame state
that the betting there is 4 to 3 on the
Irish. This shows a surprising lack
of confidence in the Rockne team.
From the records the Irish should
have longer odds. Apparently the
"betting gentlemen" are taking the
Nebraska jinx into account
Seats Sold Out.
The entire stadium at Cartier Field
has been sold out. Speculators are
reported to be selling tickets for
from $40 to $50 in spite of the ef
forts of Notre Dame officials.
Lincoln stores are sending 126 Ne
braska students to the game. The
total number of students going will
probably be increased to three or
four hundred by the time the special
leaves. The band will also make the
trip.
Renorts on the rame, play by play,
will be megaphoned to crowds at The
Lincoln Star and The State Journal.
