CADET OFFICERS v'
PLAN MAGAZINE
Pn Plana Call for Four-
Page Printed Paper to
Appear Monthly.
A staff of cadet officers is being
organized by Cadet Lieutenant
Colonel Emmett V.. Maun to publish
new and revised form of a publi
cation for the Military department.
Last vear the paper was mimeo
graphed and called the Kornhusker
Kadet but it will be entirely up to
the staff this year to choose a name
and dictate the policies of the paper.
Present plans call for four-page
printed paper to appear once
month.
Cadets will be asked next Monday
to contribute twenty-five cents
toward the publication and twenty
five cents toward a picture of the
company in the Cornhusker. This
will take care of all contributions for
the year and will save the cadets
from beine- annroached for more
than one collection.
With support from all cadets,
it
ia hoped that the Military department
will be able to issue a publication in
the interests of Nebraska and in the
interest of the department . This
will allow closer and more intimate
touch with the officers and will give
the men a small newspaper published
essentially in their interest
UNIVERSITY TO
EXHIBIT STOCK
Enters Steers in Internationa
Livestock Exposition
at Chicago.
The University of Nebraska has
entered some cattle in the Twenty
fifth International Livestock Exposi
tion which will be held in Chicago
November 29 to December 5. - As
this event marks the anniversary of
the founding of the show, the compe
tition will probably be keener than
uual and should the Nebraska en
tries make a creditable showing
will mean much to the University.
Most of the steers which will be ex
hibited were bred at the Agricultural
College farm.
In addition to the exhibit of live
stock, Nebraska will be represented
or a stock Judging team composed of
live Agricultural College seniors.
Second honor were won by this team
t the National Swine Show held at
Peoria. Reports tend to show that
there is much interest in the stock
"how this year and that a number of
Nebraska stockmen contemplate mak
ing the trip.

excuses for absences from classes
or laboratories on Friday accord
ing to an announcement from Ex
ecutive Dean Carl C. Engberg'a

OFFICERS BUY .
BALL TICKETS
Allot Five to Each Fraternity
and More for Non-Fra-
ternity Students.'
HALF OF RESERVED
SECTION ARE SOLD
On the first day of the sale of the
military ball tickets, more than half
of the number reserved for cadet
officer were sold and a few less
thanMhat Lumber of the group re
tained for student sales were releas
ed. Cadet officers will have tickets
reserved for them until December 2
when the remainder of the block will
be sold to students.
Five tickets have been allotted to
each fraternity and a number are be
ing held in the military department
for non-frsternity students who have
another opportunity to buy. It is
hoped that this division of tickets
will wake the opening formal of the
season representative of Nebraska
students. Although the ball is in
tended primarily for cadet officers,
the large sutiitorium enables the
committee to permit validation of a
greater number of tickets and gives
other stadents the opportunity to be
present.
Contracts have been made for a
quantity of decorations. Programs
and favors are being made for the
ball and a special orchestra under
the supervision of the Kandy kids
will play.
Every effort will be made to pre
sent the typical military atmosphere
at the only military formal held m
this part of the state. With the idea
in mind that naval and army posts
are known the world over for the
stateliness and pomp of their social
events, the committee will attempt
to portray a real military ball with
cadet officers and Nebraska students
as the guests.
A cadet officers meeting will be
held in Nebraska Hall at 5 o'clock
Friday to make final plans for the
grand march, decorations, and events
incidental to the military ball.

Committee Prepares Report on
Aims am Ideals of Fraternities
NEW YORK. Nov. 22. College
fraternity men have long been talk
ing vaguely about "fraternity aims
and ideals." In an effort to find out
Just what they are, a committee of
the Interfraternity Conference has
been at work for a year. The com
mittee will present a highly interest
ing report to the plenary session oi
the Conference to be held at the Ho
tel Pennsylvania here November 27
and 28.
As a result of an extensive can
vass of all American Greek letter
fraternities the report announces, in
summary, that these are the frstern-
ity aims and ideals: recognition oi
and a proper respect for the Deity,
moral living, discouragement of
gambling, discouragement of the use
of liquor, a premium upon friend
ship, emphasis upon the virtues of
fcn.f nd integrity, encourage
ment of the practice of charity.
Upon their individual members, ac
nrAnr to the report, fraternities
sincerely and earnestly attempt to
play their role as a vital and helpful
part of the machinery of education
K .nronraeine high scholarship,
requiring participation in campus ac
HvitiM and urging college loyalty.
The weight of influence of f ratern-
u;. in matters pertaining to com
munity interest the committee sum

the basis of wealth or family, foster
to a substantial extent participation
in social service or philanthropic
work.
The committee is frank to admit
that undoubtedly these aims and
ideals of college fraternities are not
always lived up to. The question oi
the, effectiveness of the aims and
ideals was not gone into, lor the com
mittee sought only an authoritative
analysis of the fundamentals as an
nounced by responsible Iraternity
officials. Up to this time, facts had
been lacking, though the American
college fraternity as an institution is
older than the republic.
The report is based on the reports
of 51 fraternities with a membership
of 898,000 and an average founding
date of 1877. As there are only 64
well established fraternities, and 70
in all with a total membership oi
470,000, it was considered safe to
Di-edicate an appraisal of fraternity
aims and ideals upon the replies re
ceived.
The report was drawn up by Dr.
H. Sheridan Baketel, Harold Riegel
.tv Don R. Almv. and A. Bruce
Bielaski. It concluded as follows
"It is apparent that fraternities be-
nn as essentially social clubs, lne
premium was on the personality of
the individual. If be was congenial
socially and intellectually he was ma

that the earlier literary purposes

VARSITY WORKS
FOR LAST GAME
Freshmen Use Oregon Forma
tion in Scrimmage with
Regulars Today.
AGGIES WILL COME IN
AT ONE O'CLOCK TODAY
Cold weather and the showing
made by the Huskers in trouncing
the Kansas Aggies combined to con
fine preparations yesterday for the
Turkey Day clash with the Oregon
Aggies to a mere limbering up prac
tice for the Varsity. All the squad
came out of the Kansas fray in good
shape.
Scrimmage will undoubtedly be in
store for the Varsity this afternoon.
The freshmen have been instructed
in Oregon formations and the regu
lars will get some idea of the kind of
attacks they are going to buck up
against Thursday.
The Aggies are due to pull into
Lincoln at 1 o'clock this afternoon
over the Burlington. They will work
out on the stadium field-both this af
ternoon and tomorrow.
Just an hour after they had lost a
hard fought battle to the University
of Oregon at Corvallis the Aggies
left for Lincoln. None of them were
injured and they should be in good
shape to meet the Huskers as Coach
Paul J. Schissler has been putting
his proteges through their paces at
many of the stops along the route.
A special car fitted up as a dressing
room enabled them to take advan
tage of even the short waits.
If comparative scores mean any
thing which they do not the Ag
gies should prove to be a hard as
signment. ' Oregon U. was forced to
use a fluke play to squeeze out a
7-to-3 win over the Aggies Saturday.
That Oregon U. is a, team of no lit
tle class is shown by the fact that
they had previously defeated Wash
ington University who had held the
championship University of Califor
nia team to a tie.
Those who know Schissler, who
was formerly assistant coach here
and later head coach , at Lombard,
rate him as one of the best mentors
in the country. Being 'a former Ne
braska coach there is undoubtedly
nothing that would please him more
than take the Huskers' scalp back to
Oregon with him.
It would be well for those who are
inclined to underestimate the
strength of a far-western team to re
fresh their memory of a little joust
on the old Nebraska field four years
ago. The Huskers had almost com
pleted a successful season and the
Washington Cougars didn't show up
so well in the dope. However, the
western he-men from the open spaces
took home the best end of a 21-20
score.
