CONCERT DRAWS
LARGE CROWDS
First Appearance These
Musicians in Lincoln
Well Received
PLAY THE CORNHUSKER
Program of Nine Selections
Includes Patriotic and
Popular Songs
BY BETTY FRADENBURG
More than four thousand persons
attended the concert given Saturday
evening in the Coliseum by the
United States Navy Band. The band
is under the direction of Lieutenant
Charles Benter. This is the first op
portunity the students of the Univer
sity and the people of Lincoln have
had to hear these celebrated musi
cians. It is hoped that the success of
this enterprise will encourage others
of a like nature. ,
The program consisted of nine
selections, to which were added many
encores. Patriotic and popular num
bers were especially well received by
the audience. The first number was
the overture from the opera "Ober
on' by Weber. The encores were
"Gate City", a medly of old favor
ites, and "When the Red, Red Robin
Comes Bob-bob-bobbin Along.".
Soldier's Eyde
The second was "A Soldier's
Dream", by Rogers, a descriptive
piece representing a complete cycle
of a soldier's day. The encores were
"The Rosary", by Kevin, and 'Dry
Those Tears", by Del Riego. The
band next offered "Invitation to
Dance", by Weber-Weingartner.
After this the band played The Corn
husker and the audience joined in
singing. .
The fourth selection, "In a Chinese
Temple Garden", brings to the hear
ers the incantation of the priests in
the temple, the perfume of incense in
the air, a Manchu wedding procession
passing noisily by, ana then the lov
ers song, amid the singing of birds.
Jazs Band
Next came "A few minutes with
the United States Navy 'Jazz Band",
which furnishes music for official
society in most of the leading hotels
and ball-rooms of Washington. The
jazz band played "Blue Bonnet"
"Ting-a-Ling", "Say it Again", and
"I'd Climb the Highest Mountain".
These were all enthusiastically re
ceived. Elgar's Grand March, "Pomp and
Circumstance" was the next selec
tion. As an encore, a request num
ber was played, "Hail to the Chief
and National Emblem." This was
followed by exerpts from the Oper
etta "The Student Prince", by Rom
berg. This presents very strikingly
the modern trend of joy and laughter
in music, and has proved extraordin
arily successful. The encores were
'Valencia," and "By the Waters of
Minnetonka," by Lieurance, a Ne
braska composer of note.
L. J. Goucher presented two xylo
phone solos, "Fantasia on Irish and
Scotch Melodies," a medley of songs,
reels, jigs and hornpipes, and "Xylo
phonia". The ninth selection was
the Baccanale from the Opera
"Sampson and Delilah," by Saint
Saens, who is especially noted for his
marvellous technique. The last num
ber was a rhapsody, "Norwegian, No.
1, " by Lalo. The concert was con
cluded by "The Star-Spangled Ban-
ner.'

Accept Endowed School
John Hopkins University has ac
cepted the Walter Hines Page School
of International Relations which is
endowed with one million dollars.
Directory Sale Will
Start on November 15
The Y. M. C. A. Student and
Faculty Directory will go on sale
Monday, November 15. The print
ers have finished two sections of the
book and the other three sections
will be off the press by Wednesday.
The delay, due to the Telephone
Company's checking, has been un
avoidable. It has deprived the stu
dents and faculty of some two weeks
use of the book, but it will increase
the accuracy.
CARNIVAL DANCE
CHOSEN AS NAME
Old Military Carnival Plan
Changed; Have Booths
Only As Sideline
"Dancing will be the main enter
tainment feature of this year's Mili
tary Carnival," stated Jack Boyer,
general chairman, last evening, "and
for t!:at reason we have changed the
name to the Military Carnival Dance.
We intend to provide enough booths
and entertainment to introduce the
carnival idea, but only as an atmosphere-producing
sideline."
The committees in charge of the
Military Carnival Dance are making
plans to entertain the largest crowd
in the history of the event. The facil
ities for staging the Carnival are for
the first time adequate the new Col
iseum being many times larger than
the old Armory where previous Mili
tary Carnivals have been held. It is
believed that the student body and
the public in general will take an in
creased interest in the affair for this
reason.
Cheerleader Play
The music will be provided by The
Cheerleaders, a student orchestra that
is rapidly coming to the front. The
Cheerleaders have played for Varsity
Dances, the Bizad banquet, and re
cent dances.
Tickets are now being sold by rep
resentatives of the fraternities and
sororities. The general committee
has announced, however, that tickets
will be available at the door the night
of the Carnival Dance. The admission
charge is fifty cents a person. All
who possibly can do so are urged to
purchase their tickets in advance.
Although there are a large number
of parties scheduled for November
13, the date of the Carnival, many
students have indicated their inten
tion of attending the Carnival Dance
for at least part of the evening, and
the committee would be pleased if as
many students as possibly can do so
would carry out a similar program
for the evening.
JOHNSON IS FIRST

FINANCE DRIVE
IS CONTINUED
Y. M. C. A. Campaign Includes
Interviews With All
Men In School
The Y. M. C. A. finance drive will
be prolonged until every man in
school has been interviewed, and it
is nrobable that a short drive will be
held next serine, according to word
received from the Y. M. C. A. office
Raturdav Subscriptions have been
received from 260 men, with a total
of $594. C. D. Hayes, general secre
tary, declared that fully one third of
the 3,500 men in school have not
been interviewed.
The cantains and teams have been
working since the official close of the
drive, Wednesday evening, in an at
tempt to get over the entire list be
fore the end of the week. But due to
tbe inability of the office to get a
list of the correct addresses of the
men in school, this work has been
held up considerably. The incorrect
cards are beine re-addressed and
given back to the teams, and in a few
days the complete list will have been
canvassed.
$2,000 Goal
The opinion expressed in the Y. M.
C. A. office is that in a school of
3,500 men, a goal of $2,000 is not
too high. And that since the 260 men
who have subscribed so far have con
tributed $594, the goal does not seem
out of proportion.
The general Y. M. C. A. secretary
from Kansas Aggie university, who
was visiting in Lincoln Saturday
stated that with a smaller school than
Nebraska, their campaign averages
$1,500 every year.
TWO SENIOR TRACK
MANAGERS CHOSEN
Ames and Wilson Both Advanced
Because of Good Work
In Junior Year
Herbert Gish, acting athletic di
rector, announced that Wendell
Ames, '27, University riace, and
A lion Wilson. '27. Nebraska City,
junior track managers last year, will
both be advanced to senior uses
manager this year.
Gish stated that a dual senior track
manager system would be used this
year, but that it had not been deter
mined yet exactly how it would be
worked out. One of the two junior
managers is supposed to be made
senior manager, but the work of
Ames and Wilson as junior managers
was considered so excellent oy me
oaching staff and athletic board that
it would be unfair to eliminate either.
Both men will receive letters and
ill other privileges generally ac-
nrAoA tn ihf senior track manager.
Details as to the new system will be
innounced later.

A Tradition
The traditional battle between the
freshmen and sophomore classes is
held annually to determine the sup

settle the fate of the green caps. If
the freshmen are successful in gain
ing the most points after the day's
fight, the green caps will be dis
carded, otherwise the green caps will
be worn until the end of the first
semester.
In 1925 the sophomores led at the
start of the last event but the fresh
men won the pole rush, along with
the right to discard the green capf
at the opening of school after the

WOMEN'S DRIVE
IS CONTINUED
Y. W. C. A. Goal Lacks $1,000;
Eloise MacAhan Urges
Interviewing
One thousand dollars more and the
Y. W. C. A. Drive will have reached
its goal. On Saturday noon the total
of the receipts was almost $800, of
which about $130 were turned in
since Friday morning.
After the team luncheon Monday
noon, the campus will be thrown open
so that the workers may ask any
girl they wish to. Girls who have not
contributed or who have not been
approached by a team member will be
interviewed at this time. One gin
in each sorority will be appointed to
see the girls in her house who have
not been visited by a team worker.
Both open soliciting and the finance
HrivA will come to an end at 12
o'clock Tuesday. Whether or not the
goal is reached will be announced at
Vespers on the same day.
Not Responding
"The campus is not responding as
it should," said Eloise MacAhan,
chairman of the Y. W. C. A. Finance
Drive. "There are a large number of
girls yet to be sent and it is very
necessarv that they be interviewed
if the remainder of the $1800 is to
be raised."
One hundred and five dollars has
been brought in by the efforts of the
girls on Helen Clark's team. This
eleven is easily the first among the
fourteen, their total exceeding the
sum collected by the second team by

DECORATE SOON
Judging Will Start Friday
Evening; Lighting
Effects Urged
With only five days left for fra
ternities and sororities to decorate
their houses for homecoming, many
of the Greek letter organizations are
busy making preparations to try for
the prize trophy given to the winning
fraternity and sorority.
The judging takes place Friday
evening, at 7 o'clock when the com
mittee, with Dwight Firsh as chair
man, will visit the competing houses
and make a decision late that eve
ning. Announcement of the winners
will be made in the Sunday edition
of The Daily Nebraskan.
Outside Decorations
Only outside decorations will be

fifty percent on artistic appearance,
twenty-five percent on originality,
and twentyfive percent on execu

last year to Sigma Phi Epsilon and
Alpha Delta Theta. These organiza
tions now hold the prizes and will
relinquish them to this year's win
ners. The winners names are en
graved on the trophies each year,
and when one organization wins the
cup three times, it becomes the pro

YEARLINGS
WIN 23-15
FROM KA6S
Sloan. Elkins, and McBride
Shine for Cornhusker
First-Yenr Men
GAME CLOSELY FOUGHT
Nebraskans Run Wild in Last
Periods ; Overcome an
Early Lead
BY DOUGLAS TIMMERMAN
The Nebraska freshmen won a
fiercely contested game from the
Kansas Aggie yearling eleven 23 to
15, Saturday afternoon in the Me
morial Stadium. Prospects for future
Cornhusker material were promising,
causing Nebraska followers great sat
isfaction. Ideal weather conditions
greeted the contestants in their mu
tual initial appearance.
Individual play on both teams was
impressive. In the Kaggie lineup,
Russell took the honors with steady
defensive work, and with his accurate
passing. Fletcher confirmed early re
ports by getting away for several
brilliant open-field runs. He took a
16-yard pass from Russell for the
first touchdown. Towler's line plung
ing accounted for most of the Ag
gie's gains through the line.
Intercepted Passes
Elkins and Sloan played a fine
game for the Nebraska youngsters.
Both returned intercepted Kaggie
passes for touchdowns. McBride's
driving line plays always pushed the
ball goalward, while h;s line backing
on the defensive was exceptional.
Farley steadied the line with his con
sistent tackling. Line players pos
sessed no individual performers, al
though Morgan, playing left end for
Nebraska, handled his work with skill.
The first quarter was scoreless.
McBride won the toss and Elkins
started proceedings by kicking 60
yards to Russell, who returned to his
own 20-yard line. The Nebraska line
held and Towler punted 30 yards to
Witte. He returned 7 to the Kansas
48-yard line. McBride took the ball
on the next play for 22 yards to the
Ag 21-line. The teams exchanged
punts, with the honors divided be
tween Towler and Elkins. The quar
ter ended with the pigskin in Ne
braska's possession on their 48-yard
line.
Downed Behind Coal
Early in the second quarter, Witte
intercepted Towler's long pass on
his 15-yard line. On a bad pass fr jm
center, he was downed behind his own
goal for a safety for Kansas Ags and
a two-point lead.
For awhile, the two point lead
seemed destined to win the game, but
soon Elkins took the ball to his 24
yard line on a long punt from Tow
ler. The Ags received a 15-yard pen
alty for tackling out of bounds, then
Elkins passed to Morgan for 6 yards.

FORUM TOPIC IS
FRATERNITIES
Pro and Con Discussion To
Be Presented by Rice
And Rosborough
A pro and con discussion of fra
ternities and sororities will feature
the World Forum program this week
and next. J. M. Rosborough of the
University School of Music, will de
fend fraternities this Wednesday and
Prof. J. A. Rice of the classecs de
partment will present the case of
thoss opposed to the fraternity sys
tem the following week.
The World Forum committee is
making arrangements to take care
of a larger attendance than usual,
feeling that these discussions, bear
ing directly on an important stu
dent problem, will draw a large num
ber both of members and non-mem
bers of Greek-letter organizations.
Lincoln Frost, Jr., chairman of
the World Forum committee, says
that the discussion is an adequate
answer to critics of World Forum
who last week contended that it was
failing to deal with problems of stu
dent interest.
Good Speakers
Both Mr. Rosborough and Profes
sor Rice are recognized as keen
thinkers and good speakers. Mr.
Rosborough is a member of Beta
Theta Pi, and is able to present the
affirmative side of the discussion
from an inner Knowledge of the
workings of the fraternity system.
Professor Rice is a former Rhodes
Scholar, a graduate of Czford Uni
versity of England, and at present
a member of the Rhodes Scholarship
committer in this state. His public
speaking ability needs no introduc
tion to Nebraska students. He ap
peared before World Forum last
spring, delivering one of the addres
ses in tbe series on Progress.
