No definite action was taken on
the campaign to bring down hall
rent and the prices of orchestras
and catering service, at a meeting
held in the Temple last night by the
heads of all campus organizations,
as it was found that too many reser
vations had been made for parties
for the coming year. The committee
that investigated existing conditions
found that the largest increase in
prices was in hall rental.
nans, however, were made to bring
up the proposition in the spring and
bring down prices to the student
scale.. Four years aero a similar
increase in prices brought about a
boycott by the students which wa
successful in bringing down the
prices.
A 6cale will be drawn up next
spring that will include prices from
all halls, orchestras and caterers that
get the student patronage. If the
prices are too far advanced over the
student scale, these halls, orchestras
and caterers will be boycotted by all
student organizations in an endeavor
to make the cost of parties reason
able. Those present - on record as

which is being compiled by two stu

Avery and Dean Engberg are oppos
ed to the publication which will not

ternity and sorority representatives
present to refuse to purchase the
book.
The question of smoking on the
campus was brought up by Chairman
Leo Black. He suggested that this
practice be stopped and that upFer
classmen endeavor to impress this
idea upon the freshmen,
ILLINI RESPECT
HUSKER GRIDSTHRS
Illinois Scouts Bring Back Report
Of Strong Nebraska Football
Machine.
The Daily Illini, official publica
tion of the University of Illinois, has
the following to say about the Corn-
husker team since the return of the
Illinois scouts from the. Nebraska
camp:
Milt Olander returned from
viewing Nebraska with glowing
accounts of the Cornhusker
prowess. Among the Saturday's
opponents assets he lists a hard
driving line, average 180 pounds
a most pleasing backfield, espe
cially Rhodes.
This same Rhodes grieved Illi
nois last year with a sixty-some
yard dash for a touchdown and
Olander deems him a muchly
improved footballer this year.
According to the Illini scout
Rhodes wallops the line with
speed and unbelievable drive.
This coupled with the vicious
tackles he offers completes the
description of a mighty good
football player.
University Provides
Communication For Instructors
Free mail delivery, twice daily, is
a feature of the services rendered
the faculty to make it possible for
them to carry on their many func
tions. Through the use of the check
ing in system of the janitors, any
department or professor of the Uni
versity may communicate with any
other by mail in less than twenty
four hours without charge and almost
without trouble.
The healquarters of the Univer
sity mail are in the north end of the
west stadium under the direction of
John Gunnarson, head of the Uni
versity janitorial system. Every
building on the campus has a box
in which mail to other parts of the
campus may be left. This is collected
by the janitors twice daily, just be
fore twelve noon and just before six,
when they return to the stadium to
check in their time. When they
check out at the stadium they take
the mail, previously distributed by
buildings from their box and deliver
it to the proper persons in their
building. This is done also twice, at
seven in the morning and at one
o'clock. Mail from the agricultural
college is brought in tvice a day in
Chancellor and Mrs.

ILLINI LINE
NEEDS CENTER
Zuppke Is Looking For Man To
Make Capable Pivot Re
spects Husker Wall.
EXPECT THRILLING GAME
URBANA, 111., Sept. 30. Coach
Robert C. Zuppke is looking for- a
center for the University of Illinois
football team which will face its first
test against Nebraska in the Illinois
Stadium next Saturday.
The coach is spending a lot of
time on "Bubbles" Mitterwallner, a
235-pound lineman who can be used
at guard or center. "Bubbles" re
ceived honorable mention for selec
tion on mythical teams in the Rocky
Mountain division when he played
tackle for Colorado college in 1921
He is always "talking it up" in scrim
mage and is a fairly accurate passer.
He senses the direction of the play
quickly and is a fairly fast man for
his weight This is his first year of
play here.
"Zup" lost both his regular cen
ters, Gil Roberts, and Leonard Um
nus, the substitute, by graduation
last June. The freshman Varsity of
1924 sent up two possibiliiies, R. D.
Murray of Chicago, and Robert
Reitsch of Rockford, & brother of
Hank Reitsch, sub center in 1920
He is a fighter all the way and
charges fast. He may be moved
to tackle. Reitsch weighs 172 pounds
but holds his own. His defensive
work is especially good. Murray has
been working regularly in scrim
mage.
Nebraska has two lettermen, Hut
chison and Wostoupal, at the pivot
position. Their line is practically a
veteran one, while the Illini wall is
green. The unknown factor of the
Illini line is sure to make the Husker
contest a thrilling one, impossible to
predict in advance. The Illini ex
pect a crowd of 25,000, a record
breaker for an opener.
According to Milt Olander, as
sistant scout, who watched Nebraska
in action at Lincoln Saturday, the
Huskers are working like beavers to
perfect a defense against "Red"
Grange. Coach Bearg, when he
brings the Missouri Valley lads into
the stadium Saturday, will have im
parted to his crimson clad players
all the information he knows about
"Red." And that is plenty.
Ever since Grange was a freshman,
Bearg studied him. As an assistant
coach to Zuppke he helped plan the
famous interference which assisted
"Red" in reaching the open. Pro
bably no other coach in the United
States knows as much about Grange's
tricks. This fact inspires Nebraska
with a lot of confidence.
Free Mail
trucks and the mail destined for the
agricultural campus returned in the
trucks.
This system enables a professor to
drop his mail in the box in his build
ing any time before six o'clock at
night and have it received the first
thing the next morning. Or if mail
ed "before twelve o'clock noon, the
majl will be received by the proper
party immediately after dinner. Mr.
Gunnarson states that often profes
sors wondered why their mail was
not received the next morning. The
University mail system doesn't ac
complish any such wonders but it
does take care of the mail between
departments in an unusually effi
cient manner. Previous to that time
the mail was collected and distrib
uted twice a day by a boy but that
proved unsatisfactory in a number of
respects.
Mr. Gunnarson says that the least
the system is ever called upon to
hadle is around fifty letters a day.
The average is about 150 to 500 each
delivery or alomst five hundred a
day. All the mail directed to the
University from the University Y
and the alumni association is includ
ed in the deliveries.

NOTRE DAME LOOKS GOOD
On the eve of the battle which
Nebraska and Illinois will wage on
the gridiron at Urbnaa, 111., fans are
beginning to review the gridiron re
sults of last week so far as they
affect the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Three of the games played last Sat
urday have a direct bearing on the
future of the 1925 Cornhuskers.
Although overshadowed on the
sporting pages by the overwhelming
victory which Notre Dame achieved
over Baylor University, undefeated
in three years, and rated as one of
the best Sevens in the south, Hus
ker followers will take more Immedi
ate notice of the impressive manner
in which the University of Washing
ton (Seattle) stampeded over, around
and through the Williamette eleven
to ring up a score total of 108 against
the Williamette zero.
It was not a case of a fair team
getting up against a frightfully weak
eleven. Williamette cannot be rank'
edas a pushover f of most of the wes
tern schools. Last year, when Wash
ington had one of the leading elevens
on the coast, a team which romped
to victory over Montana, Whitman
Washington State, Puget Sound,
Oregon Aggies and U. S. S. Mary
land, Williamette was able to hold
the Huskies 57 to 0. This year,
when Washington is singing the sob
songs for the loss of several veteran
linemen, Williamette was trampled
on twice as hard.
Such a victory cannot be achieved
by a mediocre team. Washington has
four backfield men who will rank
with the best in the country; in fact,
the Husky backfield quartet may
easily be called the class of the
coast.
George Wilson, Walter Camp's
all-America selection for his second
team, who is unanimously ranked as
the best halfback to don moleskins
on the Pacific Coast in the last de
cade; Elmer Tesreau, captain of the
Huskies, himself an all-Coast full
back, who in his first year won na
tional fame for his work against the
strong Navy team in the New Year's
dav eame at Stanford; Elmer's
brother, Louis, who weighs 195
pounds and is a triple threat man
who, Washington followers believe,
may outshine his illustrious kinsman ;
and Mike Hanley, a brother of Dick
Hanley, coach at the Haskell Insti
tute, who has earned his right to
that kinship by his work at a half
back. Besides these four men, the Hus
kies have four other backfield men
who deserve consideration. Harold
Shidler, "Bill" Charleston, George
Gutlormsen, and Harold Patton, are
all playing their second year under
Washington colors.
Although the Huskies, have issued
a mournful cry because of the grad
uation of their last year's linemen,
they are not lacking in men for the

Awgwan Subscription
Campaign Llosed With
Estimate of 1200 Sold
The campaign for Awgwan sub
scriptions closed last night with an
estimated total of 1,200 subscrip
tions. A complete check has not
been made yet as definite returns
from the fraternities and sororities
have not been received.
Fraternity and sorority subscrip
tions were to be sold in blocks and
the Awgwan management is expect
ing around 800 subscriptions from
this source. With the ones secured
in the campus drive it is felt the total
will be around the 1,200 mark. Any
who failed to subscribe for the Aw
gwan during the campaign may sub
scribe at the same price, one dollar,

ment of University Hall.
WORLD FORUM
HEARS JAMES
New Dean Of Art And Science
College Addresses Wed
nesday Meeting.
COLLEGE SHOWS DFXLINE
Dean Herman G. James of the Col
luge of Arts and Sciences, addressed
the World Forum at the Grand Hotel
Wednesday noon. Dr. James spoke
on the subject "Why is a College of
Arts and Sciences."
According to Professor James tho
college of Arts and Sciences was the
first to exist in tho Universities over
the world. The original American
college aimed at the training of men
for the clergy. In later years the
schools began to train for other pro
fessions. "The other colleges," he remarked,
"are showing a stoady increase, while
at the same time the Arts and Sci
ences are in the apparent decline.
The colleges for law and medicine
come in a later era than those of the
clergy. In more recent times nearly
every profession is being taught.
This specialization caused the stu
dents to go from high schools into
the technical colleges for the train
ing of one certain profession. This
turn of events has become so accute
that the question, is now 'Why is an
Arts and Science College?'
"Unless the 'Why' is answered,"
said Professor James, "so it can be
understood by the public, the typi
cal university will become a collec
tion of vocational schools, with no
cultural center to rally around."
After this review of the tendency
to abandon the arts college, Dean
James said:
"Fortunately, before that situa
tion was completely realized, a coun
ter tendency began to manifest itself.
I say, fortunately, because I believe
we were being driven to unjustifiable
extremes by the materialistic tenden
cies of a practical age. From the
point of view of simplicity and
symetry in educational organizations
one might perhaps say 'unfortunate
toly,' for it is certainly much simpler
to abolish an outgrown instrument
than it is to fit it into a changing
and increasing complex organism.
Whether fortunate or unfortunate,
however, we must take note of this
backward swing, of the pendulum if
we are to consider intelligently our
opening query of "why a college of
arts and sciences?"
"This counter tendency of which I
speak, so significant for the future of
the colleges of arts and sciences, was
the growing realization that the pro
fessional courses which had so sue

STADFFER HEADS
PERSHING RIFLES
Commissioned' Officers Advanced:
Captain Welpton Not In '
School Thi Year.
Paul Stauffer, '27, Omaha, was
elected captain of Pershing Rifles,
honorary military organization, at
the first meeting of the year held
last nignt. uaptain stauiter suc
ceeds John Welpton who did not re
turn to school this semester. Stauf
fer is a first lieutenant in Company
B. R. O. T. C. and is a member of
Phi Kappa Psi.
The other commissioned officers
in the company were advanced. The
new offircrs are: Fred Chase, Pi
Kappa Phi, first lieutenant; August
Holmquist, Phi Gamma Delta, second
lieutenant; and Horace Noland, Phi
Kappa Psi, first sergeant.
Routine business was taken up at
the meeting last night and it was
decided to begin drilling the company
soon. It was learned that other
schools in the middle west are be
coming interested in the organization
and it is probable that several new
chapters will be installed this year.
Postpone Relative
Ranking of Cadets
The relative ranking of cadet offi
cers in their respective grades, which
was to have been published yester
day, will be postponed for one or two
days on account of the great amount
of clerical work involved in checking
up the military scholarship lecuius
of last June. The list will be pub
lished either Friday or Sunday morn
ings. Silver Moon To Be Run
By Mortarboards Today
Today is the day the Mortar
boards have charge .of the Silver
Moon. From 8 o'clock to 5
o'clock, the members of the senior
women's honorary organization
will be waitresses in the Silver
Moon, following a custom which
has been adopted in recent years.
Glee Club Personnel
To Include New Voices
Glee Club tryouts were held last
Tuesday evening in tho Art Gal
lery. The total number of as
pirants was eighty-three.
Mr. Witte states that the group
of voices was the best that had
ever tried out. Members of the
Glee Club will not be announced
until after the old members' try out
which will be held Friday at five
o'clock.
About twenty old men will be
back so this necessitates adding
twenty new men.
ANNOUNCE DATE
FOR OLYMPICS
November 21 Is Day Set By
Innocents Who Have
Charge of Affair.
PROGRAM IS THE SAME
On Saturday afternoon, November
21, the Olympics, traditional battle
between the sophomore and fresh
man classes, will be held. The pur
pose of this contest is to decide the
supremacy of the two classes and to
determine the fate of the green caps.
If the freshman are successful in
gaining the largest number of points
they will be allowed to discard their
emerald coverings otherwise, they
must wear them until Christmas va
cation.
Never in the history of the Olym
pics have the freshman been defeat
ed by the second-year men. This
being due largely to the fact that
they always far outnumber the soph
omores and are able to win in all the
contests which are tests of weight
and numbers.
The tentative program as an
nounced by the Innocents, who have
charge of the Olympics, will be prac
tically the same as last year. It will
include two track events, three
classes of boxing and wrestling
matches, the bull pen, a pushball
game and the final event, the pole
rush.
The pole rush is the most interest
ing event of the whole day. In this
event the whole sophomore class is
crowded around the pole on which
the president of the class is sitting.
The freshman are grouped back of
a line at a distance of about a hun
dred yards from the pole. At a given
signal the freshmen succeed within
the allotted thirteen minutes they
will be awarded the contest. In the
Olympics of 1924 the outcome of the
whole morning was in doubt until
this last event which the freshmen
won together with the right to dis
card their green caps at Christmas
vacation.
Last year both classes were well
organized and the spirit of rivalry
between the two classes was very
keen. The sophomores intend to be
even better organized this year and
hope to break the string of consecu
tive victories for the freshmen.
Hero of Long's Peak Climb Enrolls
As Special Student at Nebraska
Walter Kiener, crippled after his
heroic efforts to save the life of his
companion, Miss Agnes W. Vaillc, of
Denver, after their successful ascent
of Long's Peak last winter, is now
attending the University of Nebras
ka. Mr. Kiener is registered as an
adult special student and is taknig
courses in English and geology.
All but one of Mr. Kiener's fingers
and his feet from the instep for
ward had to be amputated last win
ter after the tragedy on Long's Peak.
Mr. Kiener and Miss Vaille were
both members of the Colorado Moun
tain club and had planned early the
previous summer to attempt to climb
the East face of Long's Peak, a
climb rarely attempted and by far
the most dangerous. Their trip was
continually put off until winter,
When Miss Vaille suggested the
climb, Mr. Kiener, an experienced
mountain guide, was opposed to the
proposal but acquiesced under the
insistance of Miss Vaille. They first
attempted to climb in November and
would probably have reached the
top and returned successfully had it
not been for a veteran member of the
Mountain club who had insisted on
accompanying them and who lost his
nerve near the top forcing them to
give up the climb to get him
safely back. In January the trip was
made. Mr. Kiener and Miss Vaille
suchessfully sdaled dthe mighty peak
despite the snow and cold, the first
time it had been ascended in winter.
But Miss Vaille's strength gave
out Mr. Kiener had practically to
carry her to shelter and then leave
her, skiing for miles to secure help.
He succeeded in leading the rescue
party back to Miss Vaille to find
her dead. Exposed for over thirty-
six hours, Mr. Kiener himself was

Playen and Coachei Will Make Short
Talks at Burlington Station
Before Train PulU Out.
The first opportunity of the year
for the students of the University
of Nebraska to show their spirit will
come this afternoon at 3:45, when
all students are requested to gather
in front of tho Armory for the huge
parade and rally which is to be a
sendoff for the Husker eleven. The
team will leave from the Burlington
station at 4:40 p. m. for Urbana, 111.,
where they will meet the University
of Illinois in the opening game of
the season.
The parade will be headed by the
University band and company's of
cadets. The Corn Cobs, University
pep organization, will also be in the
parade. If the city of Lincoln will
turn out the traffic lights for the
parade the line of march will be
from tho Armory down Twelfth

street, north to P street and then
west to the Burlington station.

tile field and before a hostile crowd
of thousands, so the necessity of
sending the Huskers off in the best
of psirits can be readily seen. The
only way in which real school spirit
can be displayed today is by having
the united efforts of each individual
student behind this demonstration.
It is often the result of the first
game that makes the season, and it
would be a hard pill for the student
body of Nebraska to swallow if the
Huskers were to loose because of
lack of student support. Moral shp
port is a great thing and without it
very few teams would reach the pin
nacle of success.
Coach Bearg is endeavoring to give
Nebraska a winning football team
this season and in all probability he
shall, but he cannot do it without
everyone registered in the University
behind him. This afternoon presents
the first opportunity that Nebraska
students have had to give the new
football mentor a rousing sendoff
and whether it is to be a success or a
failure depends on each and every
student.
Freshmen Commission
Holds First Meeting
Plans for the coming year together
with business problems were discus
sed at the first meeting of the Fresh
man Commission at Ellen Smith
Hall Wednesday evening. Prepara
tory to taking in new members some
time in November, changes in the
methods of choosing new women
were considered.
practically exhausted and was over
come by snow-blindness on the re
turn journey. He and the rescue
party lost their way returning, his
feet and hands were frozen, one of
the party was separated and lost his
life, and Mrr. Kiener yet says he
fails to see how they found their
way back.
For weeks Mr. Kiener was in the
hospital not expected to live. A
strong constitution pulled him thru
but the doctors said he would never
be able to walk. He surprised them
by hobbling around on his heels a
few weeks later. He found he
couldn't use crutches because they
threw the weight on the blunted
ends of his feet where they were
sore from the amputation. So he
learned to walk without them. In
Switzerland he had been a meat-cutter
and had worked' up to the fore
manship of a prosperous plant be
fore coming to this country.. With'
his fingers gone, he could no longer
follow his profession So he secured
a position as a National Park Ranger.
All last summer he was Bituated in
a little look-out over 11,000 feet
above sea-level with all his own work
to ddo. Few would have wanted to
attempt it in as crippled a condition
as Mr. Kiener. But he said it was
the only way to gain the use of what
was left of his hands and feet. He
had plates made f-r his shoes which
helped distribute his weight, making
it easier for him to walk. Previous
to last summer there had been few
visitors to the look-out on the top
of Twin Sisters' mountain where Mr.
stream flocked to the top oughrdoW
Kiener was located but a steady
stream flocked to the top Lust year
to enjoy his wonderful Swiss hospitality.
