WORK ON 1926 CORNHUSKER IS BEING PUSHED Class Sections Nearly Complet ed and Other Division Being Organized COVER DESIGN IS CHOSEN PUin, Impressive Art Work to Be In Keeping with Dedication to A Greater Unlvenity" Work on the 1920 Cornhusker Is progressing rapidly, the junior-senior gection is nearing completion, the cover design has about been deter mined upon, and work on other sec tions of the book have been started. The Cornhusker will be dedicated to "a greater University.' The cover design is plain and im pressive. Beautiful, imported paper will be used for the end sheets. The opening; section and division sheets will be run in three colors with the border run over a tint block The scene section contains many splendid views of the campus which were taken this summer. Among some of the changes made in the book will be the removal of the professional fraternities from the college sections to a separate section of their own. This gives the pro fessional fraternity more distinction than under the old plan where the professional fraternities were listed after the colleges. Improve Student Life Many additions and choice bits of campus life are being planned for the new Student Life section. Work on this part of the book has already been started. "Realizing that the student wants an annual to look at for enjoyment, rather than to read for information, the staff of the 1926 Cornhusker is attempting to give the students a real Student Life section," Donald Sampson, editor-in-chief, remarked while glancing over a few clever puns on campus life which had been sub mitted for the section. "With this end in view we are asking that every student who has anything suitable for the Student Life section will turn it in as soon as possible." Enlarge Athletic Section The athletic section will be en larged to include every athletic team it's members, the results of the year's contests, and pictures of special in terest to the students. The junior and senior sections are nearing completion. The panels will be made up the latter part of this week and will be sent to the engrav ers. "We appreciate the splendid res ponse which the students have made to our call for junior and senior pic tures," Sampson said, "and we hope that they will respond in the same manner when the final call for fra ternity and sorority pictures given."

NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1925. PLAYERS NEXT PRODUCTION IS PRIZE DRAMA "Hell Bent for Heaven" to Be Given Thursday, Friday, and Saturday IS NW YORK SUCCESS Play Has Only Been Produced Once Weit of the Ohio River Won Pulitzer Prize The University Players will present thoir second play of tho season "Hell Bent For Heaven" by Hatcher Hughes, on the evenings of November 12, 12 and 14, with a Saturday mati nee. Tickets for the play may be purchased from Curtice Music Co., at 1240 O street. The play is a recent stage success in New York. The Plapers' produc tion of it is the only the second time that it has been given west of the Ohio river. It was produced once this summer in California. Old-Fashioned Melodrama Patrons of the Players will see an old-fashioned melodrama of the Blue Ridge mountains. The drama deals with the religion of youth in the mountain people, tested in the burn ing fire of the clanish feuds. The play possesses all the elements which go to make up a tense performance. At the same time the play is full of clean, "sunshiny comedy," love inter est, and absorbing revelations of life among a secluded people. Yenne In Lead The leading part, that of Rufe Pryor, hypocritical religious fanatic, will be taken by Herbert Yenne. In his "hysterical camp-meetin' religion" he imagines himself to be the divine instrument of God. Upon the mad dened endeavors of Pryor are built the plot of the play. As a mental de generate drunk with religion, he feels himself called upon to thwart the love affairs of the returning war vet erans, Sid Hunt and Jude Lowry, and finally to do away with Sid. - At the end, righteousness prevails, of course, and Rufe fails to win Jude for himself as he believed that the Lord had intended. His destruct ive plans, all of which he accredits to the perosnal direction of God, fail in their purpose, but enough harm is done to make things interesting.

Wreckers may tear down University Hall at some not far distant date, even as they are now removing old unsafe stairs and corridors, but nothing will ever destroy the linger ing memories of student days spent within the walls of the aged and revered building, which was once the whole University, and which has always been the hub about which the remainder of the campus seems to move. University Hall, meant even more to students of an earlier generation than it does to the present, which attends classes in buildings scatter ed over four square blocks of the city campus, the College of Agricul ture campus, and the, College of Medicine in Omaha. In the "old days" when "U" Hall was the only building on the cam pus, and later when it was the cen ter of a small group of buildings on the original campus of one square block, it contained not only all the class rooms of the University, but was in addition the social and acti vities center of student life. "U" Hall was the place where the literary societies held sway in the heyday of their power and glory. Debates were held in the old chapel CONGREGATIONAL STUDENTS TO MEET Over Hundred Expected to Attend Denominational Banquet Fri day Evening The autumn All-Congregational students' banqnet will be held at the Grand hotel Friday evening, Novem ber 13, at 6 o'clock.

Leavitt, Congregational University postor, will be master of ceremonies. President Edwin B. Dean of Doane College will be the principle speaker. His subject is to be "College Life." Other guests and speakers will in clude Chancellor Samuel Avery, whose subject will be "The Father of a Multitude"; Dean Engberg will speak on "Toeing the Mark"; Dr. Holmes, pastor of the Plymouth Con gregational church, will discuss the "Happy Hyphens"; the Rev. Ervine Inglis of the Vine Congregational church has as his subject "Pepper and Salt"; and "Father" Murphy, as he is best gnown among students, has as his theme the value of cheerful ness "Kissing the Blarney Stone." A reception committee of twelve students six from each of the churches will assist the students in becoming acquainted. A color scheme in pink and lavender will be used. Engberg to Address Mathematical Club Dean Carl C. Engberk will speak on "Mathematical Recreation" at the meeting of the Math Club on Thurs day evening at 7 o'clock in Social Science 208.

In the old chapel were held daily prayers. Graduation exercises were also held there. Revered By Grads To hundreds of Nebraska gradu ates University Hall is still the whole of the University of Nebraska. With out it the campus would seem but an assemblage of buildings to them. "Old 'U' Hall," is the soul of the campus. Nebraska's only great his torci public building, since the old capitol was torn down. Built in the days when the West was "new country," "U" Hall was modelled in the characteristic archi tecture of the time. The corner stone was laid September 23, 1869. Brick for the walls was hauled over land from Nebraska City. Morton's History of Nebraska, in a chapter on the University of Ne braska, says in part: "The early public buildings of Nebraska were remarkable in being of a uniform structural type; all of them had to be propped up or burned down to keep them from falling down."

HUSKERS SLIP IN TITLE RACE Drake Victory Sends Nebraska To Second Division in Valley Standings MISSOURI STILL LEADER The Drake Bulldogs did more than defeat the Huskers last Saturday at Des Moines they sent the Huskers hurtling back into the second divi sion of the Missourri Valley stand ings, and at the same time took un disputed possession of second place. Nebraska now stands in a tie for sixth place in the oonference stand ings as rated by the Dickinson rating system. Ames retained its position as a first division team, and Grinnell and Oklahoma, although second di v.:jion team,' forged ahead of the Ne braska team and took fourth and fifth places. From all indications Nebraska could defeat either Grinnell or Okla homa, but the fact remains that those two teams stand above the Huskers in the Dickinson rating system. This system works on the basis of strength of the teams, and not percentages. The relative strength of the various conference members is established by a system of rating and an index num ber which is fixed for each team. Nebraska, while its percentage is .500, still only has 15.0 for an index number, while Grinnell has 16.6 and Oklahoma 16.2. Nebraska In Second Division Last week Nebraska was a first di vision team; this week it is a second division team. This is due to the fact that a first division team is one which has won more games than it has lost. Missouri, Drake and Ames are the only ones at this time which have that distinction. Grinnell's position in fourth place is made possible by the game last jAmes Cyclones ft first division team. j Then Grinnel, hs defeated the oklahoma Aggies and lost to Drake. Oklahoma, already defeated by 'tremendous doosc is given to tne m- aex numDer oi mat team. HOW THEY STAND Pet.

The name of the organi zation must be given at the same time so that no organization will have more than one candidate. The Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority will not be allowed to enter one of their members as a cmcuIuo'm.
