Interesting Facts On Old Pawnee
Confederacy Disclosed In Tour
Many interesting facta about the
Pawnee Indians who formerly lived
in the Loup River valley were dis
covered by Mr. E. E. Blackmail, cur
ator of the Nebraska State Historical
Society, which is located in the base
ment of Library Hall. Mr. Blackman
makes a tour of exploration in seme
part of the state every year.
A hundred years ago, the Pawnee
Confederacy flourished in the valley.
There were three tribes, the Choiu,
the Skidi, and a third called the
Noisy Pawnees. The Skidi were ruled
by Knife Chief and afterward by his
son, who is noted for many brave
and noble deeds. It was he who ban
ished the inhuman rite of the torture
rack from among the tribal customs,
and at another time he rescued from
death a beautiful Cheyenne maiden,
who was intended for a sacrifice to
the Morning Star. Late in life he
passed to the Happy Hunting Ground,
and some day upon the site of the
grave a monument will be erected
to the memory of this humane abor
igine.
Mr. Blackman has determined that
the Pawnees came from Texas to Ne
braska about six hundred years ago.
At first they lived on the high hills
back of the river in grass houses, but
with the coming of hones, they be
gan moving down toward the river,
and building houses of earth, which
were warmer and more substantial.
The Pawnees had their own story of
the creation. They believed that the
Great Spirit had created them right
in the Loup Valley, and then taught
them the growing of corn, and the
other practices by which they lived.

A survey wr ' ly made to de

The scholarship, campus and social
activities of members of the Council

two have incompletes. Twelve of the
twenty students have never had con

the entire group is about eighty and

Prize for Trade
Problem Solution
The extent to which college
courses in economics and business
administration enable students to
solve practical business problems is
to be measured this fall by Senator
Arthur Capper, of Kansas, and a
group of business experts.
Senator Capper, author of a bill
to end destructive price wars, heeds
a committee seeking the best so'ution
of the price-cutting evil. Suggestions
have been sought from students and
professors of colleges in all parts of
the United Mates. I he student or
professor who presents the surges'
tion of most practical value will not
only receive a money prize of $i,000
for his ideas but will have the sotis
faction of seeing them adopted as
the basis of action by business men
and legislators.
The special prize of $1,000 has
been offered by Dr. E.i'vnrd Plaut,
New York manufacturer, specifically
for the best college p.un for the
maintenance of standard retail
prices.
"What we are after," said Dr.
Plaut, in sponsoring the competi
tion, "is a real solution of Urn trade
problem. The answer is vital to the
future success of American industry.
The method of presenting the plan
is unimportant. We are seeking ideas,
not rhetoric. A large number of men
in wholesale and retail trade have
already submitted their plans. They
are thinking clearly and construc
tively on this important question and
show good business judgment. 1 am
interested to see how the winning
college plan compares with the best
suggestions from business men."
Dr. Plaut is a graduate of Prince
ton and received his doctor's degree
from Columbia. As both a coliego and
business man, he is interested in
seeing whether the better pUns come
from American colleges or from the
ranks of trade itself.
Details of the contest, which closes
November 1, have been sent to pro
fessors of economics and business ad
ministration. The jury of award,
headed by Senator Capper, includes
Mrs. J. Bordon Harriman, chairman
of the National Consumers League;
Dr. Melvin T. Copeland, Harvard
School of Business Administration;
Nelson B. Gaskill. former Federal
Trade Commissioner; G. Barret Mox
ley, ex-President of the National As
sociation of Wholesale Druggists; A.
W. Shaw, publisher of "System;" Dr
Frank T. Stone, president, National
Association of Retail Druggists; and
Herbert J. Tily, president, National
Retail Dry Goods Association.

Prof. Swenk Believes That Nebraska
Farmers Should Take Steps
To Prevent Spread
Professor M. H. Swenk of the de

Nebraska at the second annual Euro
Dean Corn-Borer Conference and
Tour, which met at Toledo, Uhio, ana
toured a section of the corn borer
infested area in the United States
and Canada, September 23-24-25.
Control measures were discussed
the meeting, he said. The senti
ment of the meeting seemed to De
that the European corn borer is the
greatest menace that has ever faced
American agriculture. The only ef
fective control that has as yet been
developed is that of destroying corn

One student from Japan attended
the University of Nebraska summer
session this year.
Hats off! Along the street there
. . ... 1 I ..!..
comes a Diair 01 Dugies, u rumu v
drums; and co-eds heart are beat
ing high. Hats off! The band is
passing by! Tall men and short men,
fat men and slim men, little men
playing enormous horns almost as
large as themselves, and big husky
six-footers toying with tiny piccolos
and diminutive clarinets.
The "old" men walk very erect
and with a decidedly military bear
ing, while the freshmen, for the
most part, do the best they can to
keep in line and play at the same
time. Thus the cadet band at its
first drill of the season but, wait
and see. In a few weeks time every
man will have been transformed into
a resplcndently uniformed and well
drilled unit of that indispensible or
ganization, the band.
There are sixty-five men in the
band this year. This is slightly less
than the accepted number, seventy.
There are only seventy uniforms and
for this reason the band can never
contain more than that many men.
Only five freshmen were taken in
this year although about thirty-five
tried out The remaining nine new
men are sophomores.
There is perhaps no organization

and renders more valuable service
at games, rallies and other occasions
when the students assemble together
than the cadet band. Rain or shine,
the band is always on the job, put
ting pep into every one, and taking
good care that there is never a dull
moment during the affair.
Under a new ruling freshmen are
not released irom drill Decause oi
membership in the band. They can,
however, drop drill after playing in
the band oiie semester. One hour's
credit is given band members
througlt the military department.
This credit is not given freshmen
when they are taking both band and
drill their first semester in univer
sity. The band will have with new ad
ditions to its uniforms this year,
namely, leather belts and military
pouches. As in military science, a
ten dollar deposit must be paid upon
receiving a uniform. This is re
funded when the uniform is returned.
"Prospects are fine for a good
band this year," said Mr. Quick,
when asked his opinion on the sub
ject." The main reason is that we
have practically all old men in the
band this year, having taken in only
fourteen new members." This is Mr.
Quick's ninth year as director.

Professor Swenk does not feel that
Xphraska is in any great danger
from the borer but he said that
should an infestation became as great
in this state as in some of the infest
ed area, Nebraska would face eco
nomic ruin. He also is of the opinion
that all the corn belt states should
interest themselves in the campaign
ac-ainst the spread of the borer, and
that the people of these states should-

the situation.

College days! A whirl of teas, proms and football games.
The happiest time a girl can have, and yet, the most
miserable if she doesn't have clothes. Clothes make the
difference the difference of being a leader or a
recluse and a bookworm.
With this in mind we have collected a group of dresses
of Jersey, flannel and silks in clever one and two-piece
styles and particularly dedicated them to the College
Miss. They will be most appealing at our very modest
