BARBOUR SPEAKS BEFORE FRESH11EN Explains Planetesimal Theory of Earth Formation at Weekly Lecture. An explanation of the planetesimal theory of the formation of the earth was riven by Dr. E. H. Barbour, chairman of the departments of geol ogy and geography, in speaking to the freshman lecture sections Mon day and Tuesday on "The Earth in Formation." According to this theory there was nothing in the beginning but a great mass of minute dust particles float ing in space. Gravity and the mag netic attractions of the bodies brought them together in great whirl ing masses. As this process continued the body became exceedingly hot because of the great pressure. While the mass was still at a very high temperature and whirling in a rather loose nebular fashion the planets are supposed to have been thrown off- The central becaiue the sun which we know. Some idea of the state of the earth at the time when it became a separate body can be gained from observa tions of the sun. The sun is a molten incandescent mass and tremendous volcanic upheavals are constantly talcing place. Matter is often thrown to a dis tance of 250,000 miles from the sun during these disturbances. The con ditions on the earth were much the same when it was new, though the rnptions were on a smaller scale. Gradually the earth cooled down d the crust began to shrink. The continents and oceans were formed during this shrinking process. The tact that the earth is still in a pro cess of formation and changing was emphasised by IV Barbour. Earthquakes and volcanic disturb ances are reminders that the interior of the earth is still la an unstable state. Slides showing artists' conceptions the diff eren,t of that different step". ' la f carnation f the earth and other fflustrativa material was shown. "I know of nothing that raises ne's mind front common place, ngs and sets one to thinking oa the Richer things of life as much as does a study of astronomy," said the Peaker.

Notable among the undefeated teams of the country is the Notre Dame eleven, called "Rocknemen," because of the wonderful coach that u,"ii ueurKi ecn, Wis consin, ana neorasxa, nas completed a string of victories over teams of major calibre that is going to be hard for any other team to equal. Stanford on the coast is still un defeated, but gets her supreme test Saturday, when she tangles with Coach Any Smith and his Golden Bears, on the Berkely gridiron. Cali fornia deserves much recognition also, although they were held to a 7 to 7 tie, by Washington. However, Washington is far from being any thing but a first rate team. Drake, the only undefeated team in the Missouri valley, has been play ing a winning brand of football all year, but has one more barrier to cross before it can lay undisputed claim to the championship. That barrier is the Ames eleven, which two weeks ago chalked up a 7 to 7 tie with Minnesota, conqueror of the Ulini. In the east, things are pretty much upset There remains four undefeated elevens in that section, as the result of last Saturdays games. However all four teams have played tie games this season. The elevens are: renn u., uartmoutn, Kucgers, Yale. Of these four teams, Dart- BERGE APPOINTS COLLEGE STAFF Towne, Buck, Cook, Pardee, Osthoff, Hall, Jacobson, Swanson and West On. NINE STUDENTS.

COUHERGIAL CLDB WILL HAVE DINNER Hold First Monthly Meeting of University Organization at Grand HoteL The first monthly dinner of the University Commercial Club will be held Thursday, November 20 at o o'clock, at the Grand HoteL Clayton Goar, chairman of the Monthly Din ner Committee states that entertain ment of some kind will be had along with the dinner. These monthly dinners are one oi the regular activities of the club as they serve a double purpose in that they get the men of the Bixad Col lege together as well as being a con necting link with the business world, since some business men usually speak at these dinners. It is well worth the tame ef every member of every member f the Commercial Clnb to attend these dinner Rifle Team Has Few Upperclass Vacancies There are still vacancies- en the University Rifle team which hava not bean finally selected as yet Any spperelassman is eligible. Wore try outs for the team would be appreci ated by the ramtary deparfasent mouth and Penn are not scheduled for a Saturday contest, and Rutgers plays at Bucknbll, with Yale sched uled to clash, in their final season game against their ancient Harvard foes. The Oregon Aggies, Nebraska's Thanksirivinir T)av nnnnnenta will k " --- play Oregon U. Saturday, in a game that should be characterised by a close score. Coach Schissler of the Oregon Aggie team, former mentor at the University of Nebraska, pre dicts that he will bring a formidable eleven to Lincoln November 27. The Aggies are reported to be heavy, and are rapidly acquiring a smooth work ing offense. In the Big Ten conference, the final windup of the season is to take place. Chicago has still to conquer Wisconsin before she can rest as sured of gaining the conference title. Illinois whose title hopes were blast ed last week at Minnesota will play Ohio State in the Illinois stadium. Iowa will be at Michigan, Indiana will be at Purdue, and Northwestern will entertain Notre Dame at the Evanston gridiron. That leaves Minnesota to clash with Vanderbilt in an intersectional clash at Minne apolis. Other important games on Satur day's card are: Idaho at Southern California. Washington U. at Washington State.- Mississippi Aggies at Florida. Bethany at W. Va. Wes. Vermont at Boston College. Quantico Marines at Carnegie. New Hampshire at Brown. Lafayette at Lehigh.

University Postman 23 Years; Then Refuses Pension The following story about Henry Wittee, 66 years old, who has deliv ered mail on the campus of the Uni versity for the last 23 years appears in the November number of the Ne braskan Alumnus. "Some traditions of the Univer sity of Nebraska still live. "The old iron fence is gone; old Nebraska field is gone; many of the traditions dear to the hearts of the oldest of graduates have passed away or been replaced by more modern versions of what traditions should be. "But, U. of N. has one tradition which still is a part of our daily life. And, strange to relate, this tradition will pass on in October 1925. "Henry Witte, 66 years old, came to the University in 1901 as the mail carrier for Station A, when that branch of the Lincoln postof f ice was established. He has carried mail continuously on the campus since then, and was eligible to retire on a government pension at the age of 65 in October, 1923. He liked the serv ice, however, and requested that he be allowed to continue until he had completed thirty years of service. That will be in October, 1925. He was retained as the University mail carrier because of his excellent rec ord, a record which has won for him the recognition of being one of the most efficient mail carriers in the service. Retention of Mr. Witte, past the regular age for pensioning is the first instance of its kind in Lincoln, according to officials of Station A. "OUR HEADS ARE NOT DOWN" Coach Fred Dawsoa Talks at Rotary Club Luncheon. "Our heads are not down," said Coach Fred Dawson, when introduc ing the Nebraska football team to the Rotary club at a luncheon given Tuesday noon by the Rotarians, for the University and high school ath letes and athletic board. "I can say for every member of the 1924 team, that next year they will each have a clear, full memory and a determi nation to fulfill," said Dawson. TELLS OF Y.W.C.A: WORK IN CHINA Ethel Hartley Speaks to Uni- Tersity Women at Vespers. Y. W. C. A. Work in China" was the subject of the address given by Ethel Hartley at Vespers last eve ning in Ellen Smith Hall. Miss Hart ley related the maner in which China respects her students because she ex pects great things of them in the fu ture, and of their eager, questioning attitude toward Christianity. She described the new self-expression which the women of China are developing, and she touched briefly upon the industrial conditions there. "It is the ambitious American man ufacturer who exploits cheap labor unmolested by any labor laws, that is killing the germ of Christianity among many of the laboring class of China," declared the speaker. Miss Hartley is a graduate of the University of Nebraska and is now home on furlough after four years as a missionary in China. A mandolin and hary duet by Jan et Mathews and Lucille Wright com pleted the services. Arvilla Johnson presided. FACULTY UEIIBERS GO TO CONVENTION Dr. Walker and Professor An derson Will Attend Sci ence Meetings. Dr. R. E. Walker and Professor E. N. Anderson of the Botany depart ment are planning to attend the win ter meetings of the American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Sci ence, and various botanical societies of which they are members, that wiH be held in Washington, D. C, this Christmas vacation. This makes a total of four members of the Botany department who will attend. Dr. Pool has been nominated for vice-president of the Botanical Society of America, and Dr. Weaver will present a paper on invitation program. 500 Teachers Visit Geography Exhibit The Exhibit of Geography mate rials put oa display by u depart. ment of Geography during the recent meeting ef District I ef the State teachers association wai attended by about 00 visitors. This display gave teachers aa opportunity of adding much valuable illustrative material to their Geography equipment Carries Mail "Mail carrier Witte came to the University when there were but sev en buildings on the city campus- University Hall, Chemistry (now pharmacy) Hall, Grant Memorial Hall with the west annex, Nebraska Hall, central steam plant, Library building and Mechanic Arts building. He has seen the erection of the Physics, Administration, Musejim, Temple, Engineering, Bessey Hall, New Chemistry, Teachens College, and Social Science buildings, and the Nebraska Memorial Stadium on the city campus. He has seen the Uni versity from the time it enrolled slightly more than 2,000 students a year to the present day when more than 10,000 attend the institution. "Henry Witte goes quietly about his work from day to day. He carries his University route three times, vis iting every building on the campus. Seldom is his bag light, usually being filled to overflowing. "Early each morning this carrier reports at Station A to sort the morn ing delivery. Then he starts his route, his big bag almost as large as himself. Late in the morning he makes another round of the offices, and in the afternoon he walks the campus again. And the walk all over the city campus, with a stop at each building, and a climb to the third floor in almost all of them, is no small lob. It would wear down a much stockier man than Mr. Witte. But regardless of this, Mr. Witte continues to carry the University mail day after day." PLENTY WORK FOR .VARSITY Weir and, Hutchinson Will Bat tle Bachman's Aggies at Manhattan. DAWSON DIRECTS HARD PRACTICE THIS WEEK More hard work for the Varsity was Coach Dawson's program for Tuesday practice. Hard scrimmage with the freshmen, entirely different from the easy program necessitated by injuries before the Notre Dame game, was gone through. Coach Dawson's proteges will probably have plenty of work ahead if they defeat the Kansas Aggies, and from the earnestness with which the men practiced, they seem to realize it Most of the regulars are getting back in shape after the Notre Dame battle. Ed Weir, who was prevented from practicing for two weeks prior to the game at South Bend, is now in good shape and going strong. Hutchinson, former center, who played tackle against the Irish, is also in shape to battle the Aggies. His collar bone, broken in the Illinois game, was not again injured last Sat urday. The Aggies are also reported to be working hard. All Valley teams play through the season with the idea of beating the Huskers, and Coach Bachman's Aggies are no exception to the rule. To prevent the Aggies from realiz ing their dream will be a large as signment The Aggies, as has been said before, held the formidable Drake team to a 7-to-6 margin last Saturday. This is a fair indication of their present strength. Nebraska beat Kansas two touch downs to one; the Aggies won from K. U. by one touchdown. Not much difference in strength is indicated by this. With a iarge delegation of Nebras ka rooters to cheer, the Huskers should not be under the great handi cap of playing on the other fellow's field. Present indications are that many students will make the trip to Manhattan. Hold Y. W. Vespers on Agricultural Campus A meeting of the College of Agri culture branch of the Y. W.
