Gives Addrest at Wed
nesday Convocation
SPEAKS AGAIN TONIGHT
Address in Armory at 8 O'clock This
Evening Will ! Continuation
Of Convocation Discussion
John G. Neihardt, poet laureate of
Ccbrnska and honorary professor of
poetry at the University, gave an
address on "Poetic Values and Our
Need of Them" before a capacity
crowd nt the 11 o'clock convocation
in the Temple theater yesterday.
He will sreak again tonight at 8
o'clock in the Armory.
Nr. Neihardt undertook to sug
gest for the "common-sense man,"
vhn sometimes doubts the wisdom of
the prevailing view of life, a means
by which he might come to think of
poetic values as real, and necessarily
part of the practical values.
Toetic Valiet Real
It is a common thing at present
to retard poetic values as being im
aginary and offering a means of es
cape from reality. Mr. Neihardt
showiJ, by means of modern psych
ological conceptions, that poetic val
ues are as real an any other values
and that the poetic process extend
as far as the range of reality.
Mr. Xcihardt's discussion was but
an introduction to the speech which
he will make on the same subject at dinner. Miss Erma Applby, Miss ",CKS a.n oi me department

Faculty Comment
"I wish that it were possible for
all the students to have heard Mr.
Neihardt," Dr. H. B. Alexander, of
the rhilosophy department, said, in
speaking of the lecture. "What he ; will form a part of the program. The
had to say was something that ought names of the players are being with
to he said many times and we hope held.
that Mr. Neihardt may be here to
say it many times and in many
forms."
Professor R. D. Scott, of the Eng
lish department, characterised the
speech as "the work of a profound
scholar as well as that of an ex
tremely sympathetic poet."
"The speaker showed a familiarity
with the latest and most abstract
scientific principles, as well as ith
philosophy and psychology," Prof
essor Scott said. "Personally I was
delighted with the lecture and felt
that it was a most scholarly presen
tation of a profound subject, done in
such a way as to bring the speak
er's thoughts to those who had never
given such a subject any consider'
jition."

PAGE SPEAKS AT BANQUET
One Hundred Students Hear Lec
turer at First Christian Church
Over one hundred students heard
Kirby Page, speaker and author, at
a banquet at the First Christian
church Tuesday night. Harold E.
Fey, student representative of the
Disciples of Christ in the University,
and Ray D. Hunt, pastor of the
church, were on the program. Joe
Stenner was chairman.
"The conversion of Constantine
was one of the greatest tragedies in
history," Page said, "for the change
was made not so much in the Roman
emperor as in the Christian religion.
Until Constantine's time the Chris
tian religion had been an implacable
foe of war, and Christians had suf
fered martyrdom rather than go to
war."
Mr. Page then gave his reasons
why he considered that it is impera
tive for the modem church to refuse
to sanction the war system, and he
suggested several ways in which the
student opinion could be focused on
the issue.
The Tough Jayhawker
Whoever thinks that the Kansas game next Saturday
will be an emy one for the Huskers is mistaken. Kansas
has never been a weak opponent; the Jayhawkers play
over their heads when they play Nebraska.
A glance at the record for the past years show that
the scores have been close. In recent years there have
been two ties, and the Huskers have had to fight for every
victory.
Coach Bearg is making preparations for the game
that are as strenuous as for any game this season. If the
Husker supporters will show their spirit by joining unre
servedly in the rallies and other pep-creating demonstra
tions, the Huskers' chance will be improved immeasurably.
By pep we do not mean the unnecessary wasting of
time by excessive singing in class. We mean real spirit
attendance at rallies and enthusiastic cheering when the
occasion arises.
Homecoming Game To
Bring Second Largest
Crowd of the Season
The Nebraska-Kansas football
game next Saturday, will attract a
largo crowd of gridiron funs to the
Nebraska Memorial Stadium, says
John K. Selleck, athletic treasurer.
The Notre Dame gamo on Thanks
giving Day is expected to be the only
game to show attendance figures
which will surpass those of tho Kan
sas game.
Seats for tho Kansas game have
been selling rapidly and if weather
conditions are good it is expected
that more than twenty thousand
people will see the game. The ad
vance sale of tickets show that a
large number of old grads will be on
ihand for the Homecoming celebra
tion.
PAGE EXPLAINS
LOCARNO PACT
Treaties Between European
Powers Hailed As Step
Toward World Peace
SPEAKS AT WORLD FORUM
"The most significant thing about
the Locarno conference is the meet
ing of French and German delegates
on friendly terms," said Kirby Page
at the World Forum luncheon yester
day noon at the Grand Hotel on the
"Significance of the European agree
ment" "The Locarno conference is
only one step toward world peace,
but it is a substantial one and gives
promise of leading to solutions of
many of the great problems con
fronting us.
"The Locarno conference,? said
Mr. Page, "witnessed the negotiation
of three tieaties of the utmost sig
nificance to world peace." He then
pointed out the fundamental points
of the treaties by which Germany,
France and Belgium accept the sta
tus quo in boundaries and agree not
to go to war on any cause.
Rights Reserved
"No committment so all embrac
ing was ever made," stated Mr. Page.
"This treaty reserves the right of
each nation to sclf-dcfcnre and does
i not obviate the right of the League
iof nations to resort to armed force,
j The treaties also provide for the
j settlement of all disputes between
i the nations concerned by peaceable
weans, throu-n the agencies oi di
plomacy, conciliation, arbitration,
and judicial awards.
Mr. Page called attention to the
fact that these are the first treaties
ever drawn up in which questions of
vital interest or national honor were
not excluded from settlement.
Treaty Guaranteed
Continuing his discussion of the
treatieSj Mr .Page pointed out the
' ition' of Great Britian and Italy as
i1 . .
guarantors of the treaty, agreeing to
go to the aid of any of the three that
rtLt.atSS w p-
pared between Germany and th bor
der countries, Czecho-Slovakia and
Poland, which provide for the arbi
tration of all disputes and contain
provisions that they would not go
to war with each other.
Mr. Page said that this agreement
was of the utmost significance be
cause one of the greatest possibilities
of war in Europe today is in dis
putes over the boundaries between
Poland and Germnay.
Germany To Enter League
The provision for the entrance of
Germany into the League of Na
tions was also cited by Mr. Page as
one of the important results of the
conference. "Up to now," he stat
ed, "the victors in the war have
been the dominating powers. With
the entrance of Germany to a place
on the Council, the League becomes
Lruly international. Since the Coun
cil requires a unanimous vote for
any action, Germany's vote, will re
move the dominance of the vic
tors by giving her the power of
vetoing undesirable acts. Thus the
League, in becoming more a co-op-(ContinuetJ

SPECIAL FROM
KANSAS COMING
Hundred of Jayhawk Fans
Coming on Special Trains
for Saturday Clash
KANSANS ARE OPTIMISTIC
LAWRENCE, Kans., Oct. 21.
(Special) A goodly share of the
students of the University of Kan
sas and citizens especially the foot
ball fans of the city of Lawrence,
will pack their traveling kits this
week-end and move to Lincoln, Xeb.,
for the annual clash between the Jay
jhawk and the Cornhusker, Saturday
'afternoon in Nebraska Memorial Sta-
d''im
The Kansas game is the homecom
ing f cent at Nebraska and a large
r.-jmber of Xebraskans who reside
in the Jayhawk state will join the
caravan to Lincoln.
Faith in Kansas Team
Despite the fact that the Jayhaw
kers will enter the Saturday fray
doped to lose, Kansas rooters are
optimistic. They believe Kansas has
the makings of a great football team
and that the eleven is about due to
find itself one of these bright aut
umn days. And they remember the
game of 1923 when the Jayhawks
went to Lincoln for the homecom
ing game doped to get a nice lacing
and returned to their homes with the
honor of having held the same team
which latter walloped Notre Dame to
a scoreless tie.
The situation this year is parallel
with that of 1923, and not a few of
the rooters who make the trip to
Lincoln will expect a Jayhawk vic
tory they have been waiting for since
1916, the last year in which Kansas
defeated the Cornhuskers.
Hope rprings eternal mftng font
ball fans, and Jayhawk rooters as
usual are standing behind their team,
fully believing they will see their
eleven rise to great heights before
the curtain falls on the 1925 grid
iron campaign here November 21 in
the annual Missouri-Kansas clash.
Kansas Band Coming;
Included in the group which will
follow the Kansas team to Lincoln
are the Jayhawk band of ninety-two
pieces, and the freshman football
squad which will take its yearly trip
as a reward for doormat duty in the
scrimmaging of the varsity night af
ter night. The Ku Ku's, Jayhawk
pep organization, and the Jay Janes,
women's pep organization at Kan
sas, are also making the trip en
masse.
Special trains from LawTence have
been arranged to carry the students
and the citizen rooters. The spe
cials will leave here Friday night and
reach Lincoln early Saturday morn
ing. Missouri To Honor Dead
A new University custom will pro
bably be instituted at Missouri n
Homecomine Day. Bnglers from the
R. O. T. C. will blow taps at the
close of the program in Rollins Field
at which time every one will come
to attention in memory of the Mis
souri boys who lost their lives in the
World War. This custom of honor
ing the University's war dead will be
carried out at 'regular interval
throughout the year.

SJOGREN OH NEW .
RESEARCH COUNCIL
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
Places Nebraska Professor on
Agriculture Investigation
Prof. O. W. Sjogren, head of the
department of agricultural engineer
ing, has been appointed by Secre
tary of Agriculture Jardine, to out
line the course to be followed in
research work with farm operating
equipment, and Prof. J. B. David
son, head of Iowa State College de
partment of agricultural engineering,
and graduate of the University of Xe
braska, is to supervise the work of
the council.
The Department of Agriculture
has undertaken a thorough survey of
the field of research in relation to
such equipment- The object of this
council is to outline a program to be
used as a guide to college, farm
equipment industries, and other agen
cies which include that line of work.
The council includes eight repre
sentatives each of the National As
sociation of Farm Equipment Manu
facturers and the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers and three
representatives of the Department of
Agricult ure.
Engineers To Initiate
The Student branch of the Ameri
can Society of Agricultural En
gineers will hold its initiation exer
cises at the Agricultural Engineer
ing Building, Thursday evening,
at 7:20 o'clock. The organization is
planning an extensive program for
the winter months.
Dramatic Club Tryouts
To Be Held Promptly
The Dramatic Club requests
that all students who have signed
up for the try-outs be at their
places promptly, at the time as
signed. Students whose tryouts
are scheduled after 11 o'clock,
and who desire to come earlier,
may be able to fill in earlier in
the evening.
K. U. ATHLETIC
DIRECTOR WILL
TALK AT RALLY
"Phog" Allen on Program for
Homecoming Pep Session
Friday Evening
RALLY PLANS COMPLETE
Coach Bearg Urges Students to Show
Same Spirit Which Team Dis
plays on the Gridiron
Plans for Nebraska's annual Home
coming rally on Friday evening at 7
o'clock on the drill field, have been
completed, says Robert Lang, presi
dent of the Innocents, who is in
charge.
Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, ath
letic director at the University of
Kansas, assistant coach "Bill" Day,
and Dr. G. K. Condra, will be the
speakers. The rally will be very
short but spirited. Varsity cheer
leaders and the University band will
lead the yells and songs.
Duty to Attend Says Bears;
"It is oilch student's duty as true
Nebraskan to support the team by
attending these rallys," said Coach
E. E. Bearg. "A team shows the
same fight and spirit as the students
have. I am sure that every man and
woman in the University of Nebras
ka will atend these rallys and go to
the games with the same spirit and
fight which the team displays on the
field."
Kansas fights Nebraska harder
than any other team, with the possi
ble exception of Missouri. It is
probable that the game this Saturday
will be a harder battle than was
fought with Washington last week.
Coupled with this, is the fact that
five of the regular men may not be
in the line-up.
Lang Urges Support
"Nebraska spirit is some-thing that
never fails," was Lang's comment.
"Two years ago Walter Eckersall
said it was the Nebraska spirit to win
that beat Notre Dame. Cornhusk
ers should not fail this year. Let's
get behind the team and show them
more fight and spirit than they have '
ever heard or seen before."
With the exception of the Notre
Dame game on Thanksgiving Dy,
the one Saturday will see the largest
turnout of the year.

''It was a very effective conven

Nebraska, who presided, handled the
affairs most expeditiously, and Re

the proceedings. It was brought out
at the conference that if barges
