FROM TOWER OF
OLD "0" HALL
Historic Relic Hauled Down
Yesterday Forenoon, Will
Be Preserved
BAR SOUVENIER HUNTERS
Have to Reinforce Walls Bfore Re
moving Roof to Protect Wreck
inf Crew From Danger
The 'University Hall flag waved
for the last time Wednesday morn
ing over the historic old structure.
The flag pole was the first to go
when the workmen started wrecking
the tower early in the forenoon. The
last flag to wave over the old build
ing was hauled down between 11 and
12 o'clock. It will be kept as part
of the historical collection from Uni
versity Hall. A new University flag
is now flying from a flagstaff on the
west stadium.
The railing on the tower and the
roof way up there were next to go
after the flag pole had been lowered
down into the tower. The flag pole
was made of iron and fastened to a
telephone pole which was tied in and
secured to the wood work inside the
tower.
Walls in Bad Shape
The walls on the third and second
floors are in such bad condition that
the contractor in charge of wreck
ing is planning to reinforce them be
fore he begins wrecking operations
in order not to risk the lives of his
men. He fears that when the roof is
taken off, the walls will no longer
be held together firmly enough, and
might fall apart if they are not
braced up sufficiently.
The offices of B. J. Jobst Build
ing company which is doing the work
are located in the old post office
room on the first floor.
To ward off souvenir hunters, the
rope and chain with which the old
campus bell used to be rung, was re
moved Wednesday uorning from the
iron pipes in room 215 down which
it hung from the bell situated on the
roof above. The rope and the chain
will be saved to form another part
of the, historical colection along with
the bell which will be removed in a
few days.
The bell was mounted on the build
ing in 1871 according to inscriptions

IOHIQDE WILL
HOLD MEETING
Architectural Engineer Society Plant
To Introduce Now Member
At Get-together Friday
The regular meting of Ionique will
be held for architectural engineers at
10 o'clock Friday, November 20, at
Mechanic Arts, 403. The chief pur
Pose of the meeting is to get the
students of this department of archi
tectural engineering together, and to
.introduce the new members in the
organization. The student will
probably decide on a date for a
smoker. If these plans materialize
and attendance at the smoker is good
members will get some prominent
en to speak at the society meetings
Officers elected at the last meet
ing of the organization were Louis
Vastine, president; Lester Shields,
vice president; Charles Carr, treas
urer; and Avery Batson, secretary.
Means of increasing the interest in
these meetings were discussed and
the results are the unique notices in
the form of Ionic colums.
It Will Be Done!
The fog of discouragement which settled upon the
campus after the Missouri game has cleared. Every
time students gather one hears the enthusiasm of an
awakened Nebraska spirit translated into the slogan
"Beat Notre Dame!" Forbidding depression is disap
pearing and in its place there rises a loyalty to Nebraska
which bodes ill for the "Micks" from the Hoosier state.
Secret practices and new plays have already Instill
ed an admirable "esprit de corps" in every man of the
Husker squad. Nebraska men are battling for places
on the team as though the season had just begun.
They're fighting for a chan.ee at the Irish.
Coach Rockne's proteges are going to nieet a reso
lute and undaunted Varsity next Thursday. Every man
on the team will deliver. To Ed, Choppy, Joe, Hutch,
nd Locke it is the last chance to fight for Nebraska.
You know what that means.
The "Fighting, Corchuskers" will live up to their
niue. ,
The University your University faces the most
Mountainous task in years. The collegiate world asks,
'What sort of men and women are those at Nebraska?"
Our spirit will be the answer.
LET'S SETTLE THE IRISH QUESTION!
Predict Irish To Lose Second
Game Of Season To Northwestern
A change of backfield tactics in
the game with Northwestern Satur
day, which is predicted by Knute
Rockne to be "Notre Dame's sec
ond defeat of the year," is said to
be the order for the Irish team in that
battle, the last before the game with
Nebraska here on Thanksgiving Day.
A change in the maneuvering of
the Notre Dame backfield will put
the Husker followers on the lookout.
Has the famous Knute something up
his sleeve? If so, why, and how
much?.
Those are the questions being ask
ed by football fans here. The abil
ity of Nebraska to compete with the
Notre Dame eleven does not depend
absolutely upon knowing what the
Irish are going to do, but it is ad
mitted that that knowledge would
help some.
"Rockne predicts that Notre Dame
will lose another game if it doesn't
watch out." Whether that is a state
ment as to the strength of Northwest
ern or the weakness of Notre Dame
can be guessed by the fans.
COUNTRYMAN

man on Wednesday, November 19,
the staff members were appointed for
the coming year for that paper.
Glen Buck, 27, was appointed editor-in-chief.
Rufus Moore is business
manager and Howard Farr is circula
tion manager. The departmental
editors, associate editors, and as
sistant business managers will be ap
pointed in the near future.
The Cornhusker Countryman is

College of Agriculture. It is made
up of news and articles from the
various departments of the college,
feature articles by students and the
members of the faculty, jokes, edi
torials, and a student life section.

TO HOLD METHODIST BANQUET
University Methodist Students
rited to Attend
In-
All Methodist students at the Uni
versity are invited to attend the All
Methodist student banquet to be held
at the Grand Hotel tonight from 6 to
8 o'clock.
Dr. L. M. Grigsbf, recently of Des
Moines, Iowa, i now filling the post
of pastor for the Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church of Lincoln, will be
the principal speaker of the evening.
His subject has not been announced.
Music will be furnished and the group
will join in singing eome original
songs.
The South Bend team is coming to
Lincoln this year with a record whicl
though it does not approach that of
1924, is something to be viewed very
critically. Norte Dame has a well
trained team which will go a long way
before it loses to the Huskcrs. That
makes it a task for Nebraska to show
the Rocknemen the long, hard path.
A wealth of tradition is bound to
the game here a week from today.
Extra seats being built around the
ends and on the cinder track in the
Stadium will provide accomodations
for 45,000 spectators, and expecta
tions are that the seats will be filled
with a howling mob of Nebraska
supporters.
Because of the importance of the
game as a fitting climax to a hard
schedule, student spirit is slowly but
surely rising, until it reaches a peak
the night before the game. Plans
for the greatest rally at Nebraska are
being carried out, and the contest
will be marked as colorful indeed if
everything comes out all right. Indi
cations are that it will.
Must Return Picture
Proofs By End Of Week
Students must return the proof
for their pictures in the junior
and senior sections immediately.
This must be done by the end of
the week in order that the pic
tures may be sent to the engravers
as soon as possible. The Corn
husker staff is well pleased with
the number of juniors and seniors
who have had their photos taken
and a beautiful layout is being
obtained for the class section.
LEAVE TONIGHT
FOR. BIG MEET
Husker Harriers Among Con
tenders for Missouri
Valley Honors
SIX MEN WILL MAKE TRIP
Six Husker harriers, undefeated
in dual meets this fall and consid
ered among the leading contenders
for the Valley championship; will
leave for Lawrence, Kansas, and the
annual Missouri Valley meet at
11 o'clock tonight on the Missouri
Pacific railroad. The run will take
place Saturday morning between
the ten Valley teams.
Accompanied by Coach Henry F.
Schulte, the men will reach Law
rence Friday morning and will look
over the course. The Jayhawker
five miles which is composed of
steep hills and narrow paths, is con
sidered one of the most difficult
courses in the conference. Because
of poor hotel accomodations the
team' will return to Kansas City Fri
day evening and then take the early
morning train to Lawrence Satur
day. Have Fast Team
The meet will probably be one of
the fastest in years depending on
the weather. Four teams will be
battling for first honors. Nebraska
and Kansas . Aggies are considered
the two contenders, with a possibility
of Oklahoma and Ames running fast
enough as a team to shut out cne or
the other of the Kher two teams
doped to win. The Kansas Aggies
have the same winning combination
With which they took the champion
ship iast fall. Both the Aggies and
the Husker runners are a group of
outstanding stars, and so has Ames.
Rutherford of Oklahoma winner
of first place last year will be mak
ing a bid for first honors again Sat
urday. Niblick, a fellow runner, has
been running even up with the
Sooner Captain all season, the two
'tying for first place in every dual
this fall. Ames has Conger, with a
similar record, while Kimport of the
TCansas Aggie team gave Rutherford
a hard race in the Valley classic last
fall, and will be in the running for
first place individual honors along
with possible stars of the other
teams.
Missouri and Kansas, unless they
make a whirlwind finish of a bad
start, will be completely out of the
running. The comparative speed of
GrinnelL Oklahoma A. and and
Washington is unknown. Any one
of these schools might appear at the
meet with a winning combination or
with at; individual star.
Coach Schulte put his men through
their last workout yesterday after
noon when be gave the men individ
ual attention on speed work. Law
son appears to be in the best of con
dition among the Scarlet and Cream
runners. Zimmerman and HaVs are
also in top form, while Reller has
been running better in every meet
of the season. Ross, who is replac
ing Captain Lewis has been bothered

WILSON TALKS
ON INFLUENCE
OF EDUCATION
Nationally Known Lecturer
Addresses World Forum
Yesterday Noon
REAL AIMS ARE DISCUSSED
Say Collefe Training Should Be
Used to Help Society! Not
Personal Cains
That our ability to govern our
conduct is far behind our scientific
and technical knowledge and that all
education must promote more ade
quate moral values if our civilization
is to continue to progress were the
outstanding facts given by J. Stitt
Wilson, nationally famous lecturer
on social and economic questions
and former mayor of Berkely, Cali
fornia, in his address to the World
Forum at the Grand Hotel yesterday
noon.
Mr. Wilson prophesied that the in
fluence of the college would be great
er in the coming generation than it
has been in the past. He predicted
that its influence would continue to
displace the two influences which
have up to the present time been
most important, politics and finance.
Mr. Wilson called attention to
the tremendous success of the mod
ern educational system. However he
called attention to the fact that its
success is revealing its weaknesses.
Thousands of students who have
crowded into the schools of higher
learning in the United States have
been too numerous and their advent
too rapid to develop suitable methods
of handling them.
Explains Educational Faults
The biggest fault of the present
University system is believed by Mr.
Wilson to be the lecture method. He
said he anticipates great changes in
college methods within the next
few years, explaining that the present
system would be done away with and
instead the student and professor
would exchange in "give and take."
Under the changed conditions there
will be groups of students working
under a professor in search cf know
ledge in fields in which they are in
terested. Thus the present evil of
having the student interested only
in activities outside the curriculum
will be abrogated.
Should Use Knowledge
Li explaining that our knowledge
was far ahead of our methods of
using it, he called attention to two
necessities, the necessity of educa
tion teaching methods of using our
highly developed knowledge and the
present immediate necessity of the
world for real statesmen. The change
which will come when education ful
fills the higher aim of enabling us
to handle our knowledge as well as
know of it will in Mr. Wilson's opin
ion be tremendous. "The great
business man of the future who will
make use of the benefits of civili
sation for his own private gain will
be considered the worst of all trait
ors," declared Mr. Wilson, in citing
what such developments would seem.
PRESBYTERIAHS
ARE TO BE HOSTS
Mr. Level! and j'Miss Sckeaf Will

Athletic Awards Made In 1896
Are Found In
Five wooden tablet awards for the
first "All-round Indoor Athletic
Contests" at the University of Ne
braska in March 1896, were found on
Wednesday in an old box stored up
in the attic of University Hall. A
tablet for the second contest held on
March 30, 1897, was also found.
Inscribed on the mahogany wood
are the names of the students who
won the various events, and the rec
ords they made.
A potato race was one of the
events in the first contest. It was
won by C. R. Spooner, who went the
course in one minute and fifty-one
seconds. The distance traversed is
not noted. Another event, long
relegated to the past, was a four
minute rope jumping contest, includ
ed in the contest of 1897. It was
won by R. N. Brothers, who jumped
633 times in the time limn of four
minutes. This was at the rate of
158 times a minute, or two and
half jumps a second. A "distance
snap" is the title of another event.
Some of the records made in the
SHU Need Ushers
For Notre Dame Game
The ushers for the Notre Dame
game are gradually coming in,
however, about fifty men are still
needed. Men who wish to apply
for positions must be members of
the R. O. T. C. unit and are asked
to leave their names at the Stu
dent Activity office as soon as it
is possible.

Weather Forecast
Thursday: Generally fair; some

Attic of "U" Hall
field events seem ludicrously low for
college students, but it must be re
membered that track form had not
been developed then to the extent it
is now, and that probably the men
in the contests were not members
of the Varsity, Intercollegiate
track and field meets were not com
mon in those days.
The pole vault winner of the first
contest was R. E. Benedict, who
vaulted 8 feet 8 inches. Others
who qualified were R. W. Johnson,
C. R. Spooner and J. D. Wilson. The
four were credited with 69 points for
their side.
On the next tablet C R. Spooner
was given second individual honors.
His records were: Fence vault, 6 feet
2 inches; pole vault, 8 feet 8
inches; 12-lb. shot, 34 feet and
inch; high jump, 5 feet and Vt inch;
potato race, 1 minute and 61 sec

Olympics Committee Statement
TO ALL NEBRASKA STUDENTS:
The Olympics were instituted to take the place of
hazing, which has caused only ill-feeling and class
hatred. At the institution of Olympics, the student
bound themselves to respect this agreement.
We have heard that some Juniors, probably thought
lessly are doing their best to get the Freshmen to break
this agreement with the University, and engage fn haz
ing the night before the Olympics. .
Let us remind you that the fundamental Olympics
mling provides that the class taking part in any form
of hazing shall forfeit the Olympics.
The sensible Freshmen will listen to Juniors In this
respect, but will give his class a chance to win the Olym
pics and discard the green caps.
The Sophomore class has pledged Itself to keep
faith, and we LelieVc the f i uhzuzn vrill.
We do not want to have to enforce the ruling for
feiting the Olympics.

HUSKERS SHOW
REJUYINATION
OF OLD SPIRIT
Songs and Yells Are Signals
Of Awakening of Former
Nebraska Ginger
NOTICE DAME GAME SOON
Proximity of Annual Clash With
Irish Calls Forth Much Com
ment and Excitement
Yesterday marked the beginning of
the reawakening of the Nebraska
spirit as the school began to realize
the proximity of the biggest game
of the season Notre Dame. A mark"
ed change in the atmosphere of half
hearted interest which has prevailed
all season was noticed on all sides.
Group singing which was such an
aid to arousing the spirit for the
Notre Dame game two years ago
again manifested itself with the game
yet more than a week away. The
singing lacked the vigorous pantan
eity which characterized the emot
ional wave which two years ago swept
over the whole student body and car
ried the team with it to an unexpect
ed and dramatic 14 to 7 victory, a
victory which startled the sporting
world and placed Nebraska high in
football circles by reason of being
the only team to conquer the proteges
of Knute Rockne, master strategist
of American football two years in
succession.
Start Class Room Singing
The beginning of singing before
classes which was carried on through
out the day yesterday, was accom
panied by more animated conversa
tion concerning the football situation
by the entire student body.. Junior
and senior students are already look
ing forward to making the rally pro
ceeding the Notre Dame game this
year larger than the immense cele
bration which brought two weeks of
singing and cheering to a close on the
eve of Nebraska's triumph over the
Irish.
From now on until the Notre Dame
game a continued rousing of the fa
mous Cornhusker spirit is anticipated.
Yesterday's marked change in spirit
led even the most pessimistic con
cerning the lack of display of spirit
during the past season to look for
ward to a real awakening of Nebras
ka spirit which will make past exhi
bitions forgotten in the excellence of
the support accorded by all students
this year.
Students Wake Up
The student body gave a glimpse
of what it could do when aroused
from the apathy which has pursued
it since by the tremendous ovations
eiven the team when departing for
Illinois. With the Notre Dame game
still a week away end manifestations
of spirit already appearing, prospects
point to the possibility of not merely
a revival but a rejuvenation of Ne
braska spirit, the only factor which
can send such an unconquerable Ne
braska team on the field that Notre
Dame's strength and Rockne's cun
ning will be valueless.
A new song to the lively tune of
"Little 'Liza Jane" has been written
especially for the Notre Dame game
and is expected to play a major part
in the daily song festa before the
classes.
The words of the new tune which
gained popularity in the few classes
where it was introduced yesterday
are:
C'mon there gang What do we say?
Beat Notre Dame!
Collect for last year Make them pay
Beat Notre Dame
Fight Nebraska!
Well win this game.
Fight Nebraska! .
Beat Notre Dame.
