NO. 25 Y" DRIVES TO START EARLY IN NOVEMBER Y M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Join To Ask Support From Student and Faculty CHEST FUND CUT DOWN University Organiaationa Need Fundi More Than Before, Committee Chairmen Declare The University Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. are making plans for a simultaneous campaign for financial support from the campus the first week in November, according to Elo ise MacAhan and Ralph Bergsten, finance chairmen for their respective organizations. Bob Davenport has has been appointed as campaign chairman for the Y. M. C. A., with Oscar Norling as vice chairman, and Miss MacAhan will act as campaign chairman for the Y. W. C. A. The two campus Christian Associa tions are facing a critical situation, assording to Davenport, because of the drastic cut made in their allot ments in the Lincoln Community chest budget for the year ahead. Last year the Y. W. C. A. was in the chest budget for $1800, this year for only 1200. The Y. M. C. A. was reduced from $3500 to $1800. "Our expenses will be the same," stated Miss MacAhan, "and if the program which has been carried on is to be continued, funds to make up the $600 deficiency for the Y. W. C. A. and $1700 for the Y. M. C. A., must be secured outside of the chest. The two associations, therefore, must depend more than ever upon the sup port of the campus." "Increased student subscriptions alone can not be expected to make up for the reduction in the support of our campus Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. by the Community Chest," was the statement made by Ilcrgsten. "We must ask faculty members who are interested to come to our support through sustaining memberships in the two organizations. This is not a new plan, but we need now increased support from this source. I am sure all faculty members want to see the very useful program of the two asso ciations continued." The Y. W. C. A. drive committee has held several meetings with the captains preparatory to the actual campaign. The Y. M. C. A. committee and captains met for the first time Wednesday night in the Y. M. C. A. rooms.

Interesting Sidelights on Student Life In the Eighties in Nebraska Alumnus Many interesting and amusing sidelights on student life in the eighties are contained in an inter view with Mrs. H. R. Angelo, '81, which appears in the October number of the Nebraska Alumnus. One of the items of chief interest and perhaps practical value is con tained In the following words, "When the military department was insti tuted, few of the men were able to afford new suits besides their regular clothes so they bought the regulation blue ones with a blue cap and two sets of buttons one brass with the governmental insignia, the other black rubber. Many a time Mrs. An gelo helped clumsy masculine fingers to "change buttons' when drill time came. Bobbed hair is regarded by the girls of today at typically modern, but auch is far from the truth for Mrs. Angelo says that then the girls wore their hair exactly as the boys Helen Turley to Appear In Thursday Convocation Helen Turley, eontralto, will appear at the convocation Thurs day morning at eleven o'clock at the Temple building.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1926 IARN1VAL DANCE ON HOMECOMING New Features Added to 1926 Military Carnival, The Committee Says GAMBLING IS BANNED Plans for the Military Carnival dance, to be held November 13, are complete, according to John A. Boy er, general chairman of the carnival committee. Interference by the city police have altered the plans some what and no gambling devices or games can be sponsored by the com mittee this year. This changes the aspect of the Carnival entirely but it is rather for the better than the worse, according to the committee. When the former plans were shat tered by the city authorities, the committee was forced to make new arrangements. Something entirely new and very different will take the place of the old booth system follow ed in former years. The Military Carnival dance will not be a mixer in any sense but will be instead the best party dance in the city that evening and will have sev eral features that will be attractive to every student and every returned alumni. A big surprise is to be given those who attend. What this is has not been revealed by the committee and will be held secret until that evening. November 13 is the date set for Homecoming and the Military Car nival dance is given in honor of the returned alumni, not only of the Military department, but of all de partments. Several attractions will be offered for the benefit of the alumni but the program as a whole will please both the students and the alumni. All of the committee members are working hard to put this new pro gram across and they promise the school the largest carnival dance of the year.

IOWA STATE READY FOR TIGER BATTLE Cyclone Squad Optimistic Concerning Coming Came with Missouri Valley Champions Ames, Iowa, Oct. 20. Special: A new note of optimism is noticeable in the Cyclone camp this week as preparations are made for the Dad's day game with Missouri at Iowa State Saturday. Outplaying Grinnell in every department of the game that was doped to be another Pioneer vic tory, the young Cyclones have dem onstrated to Cardinal and Gold fol lowers that they have a stone wall de fease, and a great line plunging backfield, however lacking in weight and experience the Iowa State ma chine may be. The great showing of Holloday Smith, new Cyclone tackle, and Kin eery, veteran Iowa State lineman, were bright spots in the Cyclones scoreless tie Saturday. The giant col ored tackle looms up as the outstand ing new man on this year's Iowa State team. Kingery, who plays the other tackle position, was one of the mainstays in Iowa State's stonewall act against the Pioneer cork screw attack. On Saturday Iowa State will meet the team that has won the Missouri Valley conference championship for two years and stands a good chance of repeating. The Tiger machine will outweigh the Cyclones 12 pounds to the man, both on the line and back- field.

The wearing of the green caps is emphasized by the committee as a great help for developing proper class spirit. GOOD HAMMERS ON AUTHORITY Lincoln Lawyer Says It is Basis of Religion in Opening World Forum Series "The Christian religion is a re ligion for a life to be lived and a reason for living that life. If there is not to be anarchy, it must be de pendent upon the authority of an un divided church," declared Paul Good, Lincoln lawyer, in his address on "Authority As A Basis of Religion" before the World Forum Wednesday noon. About two hundred fifty stu dents attended the weekly luncheon held at the Grand Hotel. Mr. Good's address was the first of a series of three talks on the basis of religion to be presented at World Forum. A discussion of "Ration alism" will be given next week by Mr. Edwin C. Palmer, minister of the Unitarian church and the series will be closed the following week with an address on "Mysticism" by Professor P. B. Sears of the botany department. "I find it difficult to see any real antithesis or agreement between the three subjects to be discussed in this series," declared Mr. Good. "I be lieve that the authority of the church is the only rational way to obtain the full value from all mystical ex periences." Mr. Good then explained that he didn't wish to start an argu ment with people of other faiths. He stated that he did not believe it was the function of an individual to criticize those not in the same re ligious fold. The necessity of authority was then pointed out by Mr. Good. "Peo ple talk of the freedom of modern life as if it were the most important thing," he declared. "It seems to me that we cannot have freedom without authority. Men have been greater slaves under anarchies than under any other form of govern ment. The only question, then, is what is the basis of religious authority?" Mr. Good then called attention to the present situation of religious anarchy which he said was partially responsible for the disrepute into which religion has to some extent fallen. He asserted that authority should, however, appeal to reason. "Thousands of reasonable men," he stated, "have accepted the authority of the church." Mr. Good proceeded with his dis cussion on the basis of two assump tions, that religion as a relation be tween man and God was valid and that the Christian religion was valid. He pointed out that the authority in Christian religion comes from above as contrasted with the condition in a democratic state in which authority comes from below. He acknowledged his belief in the Christian religion as a revealed religion. The authority of an undivided church was put forward by Mr. Good as the only logical source of author- (Continued from Page Three.) Procedure of Nebraska Legislature Is Topic of Address by Mrs. Senning The procedure of the Nebraska legislature from the opening to the adjournment was the topic of an ad dress given by Mrs. J. P. Senning of the Nebraska Legislative Refer ence Bureau as a part of the radio program of the University Extension department Tuesday afternoon. Oc casional references to the past ses sions, such things as the "third par ty" or the "lobby", and a word about the personnel gave a little of the in side of civil work that few people learn about. Mrs. Senning first told of the com ing election and some of the changes this year as compared with last year, "Two weeks from today the electors of Nebraska will elect the state and county officers, who will carry on the business of the stabs for the next two years." the speaker explained. "The constitutional convention of 1919- 1920 by an amendment to the consti tution adopted by the people on Sep tember 21, 1920, authorized the .leg islature to provide for new legislative apportionment when necessary, PRICE 5 CENTS 400 EXPECTED TO BE ABOARD 'K. U.' SPECIAL 350 Students Buy Low-Rate Tickets to Lawrence j More Are Expected AUTOS TO CARRY SHARE Cornhuskers Will Rally At Kansas University When Huskers Play Saturday Nebraska's football enthusiasts will board a special train to cheer their team to greater efforts when it invades the territory of the Kansas Jayhawks. It is expected that a large percentage of the student body will follow the eleven to Lawrence to witness the fourth gridiron combat of the season. The train will include the University Band, the Corn-Cobs, the Varsity reserves, the freshman squad, faculty members and students. Dean Amanda Heppner has an nounced that the ruling that the women must buy sleeping-car reservations has been retracted and that at least two chair cars for women will be placed in the train. If the demand warrants, an other chair car will be added. The chair car rate is considerably cheaper than the sleeper, and many more women will be able to make Jthe trip. The cars containing the co-eds will be chaperoned by Miss Simpson and Miss Wagner, instructors in the Physical Training department. These coaches will be more or less segre gated from those containing male students, as the pullmans and day coaches for the women will be placed together. Other than this, the make up of the train is not definite. How ever, the Corn-Cobs will occupy one coach, the freshman football one and the Varsity substitutes another. The train leaves Lincoln at 11:30 Friday evening. There will be no rally for the team when it leaves for Lawrence. The regular football play ers will go on a train which pre cedes the special, and will go to Kansas City where they will remain until the morning of the game. The special train will arrive in Lincoln at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Reports from the Union Pacific ticket office, Latsch Brothers and John K. Selleck show that thus far about 350 special rate tickets have been sold. A great number of stu dents are planning to drive to Law rence and probably a great many more will not know whether they will go or not until the last minute. OBSERVATORY OPEN HOUSE NOVEMBER 9 Professor Swezey Will Lecture On "The Astronomy of the Earth;" Telescope to be Open Professor Swezey of the Univer sity Department of Astronomy will hold the next open house at the ob servatory from 7 to 10 o'clock Tues day evening, November 9. The pub lic is invited to attend and view the skies through the telescope and lis ten to a short lecture at 8 o'clock on The Astronomy of the Earth." These lectures, while short are in structive and very popular. In the lecture, Professor Swezey will talk of important knowledge of this earth which is gained only through astronomy. All latitude and longitude, accurate time, and sur veying depend upon astronomical cal culations. This science gives us our knowledge of the weight, elasticity and composition of the earth and its movement in the solar system. These points and many others will be taken up in more detail in the lecture. though not oftener than once in ten years There are one hundred mem bers of the house of representatives and thirty-three senators elected from districts of as nearly equal population as is possible. They are elected for terms of two years but unless there are special sessions of the legislature their duties practical ly end at the adjournment of the reg ular legislative session in the odd numbered years." She next told of the procedure of both Houses before they are ready for their regtlar routine of work. The selection of a clerk, a speaker, a committee on credentials and other employees necessary in the first pro cedure and on the third day a joint session of both bouses is held to hear the message of the governor or gov ernors.
