FIRST LECTURE IS BROADCAST Prof. Weseen Uses Radio To Give English Course To Peo ple Out In State The first of a series of twenty lectures which are to compose a com bined Radio-Correspondence Course in Business English, was given by Professor Maurice H. Weseen, of the College of Business Administration, last evening at 8:05 a'clock from the University of Nebraska Studio, broad casting over KFAB. This course has been instituted by the Extension Division of the Univer sity in reply to many inquiries by people over the state as to the pos sibility of having such a course. To date there have been a number of registrations for it. The radio lec tures accompanied by written assign ments to make the instruction prac tical will be given by Professor We seen every Tuesday evening at 8:05 o'clock. Professor Weseen, who is a very successful teacher of practical, every day English and an authority on the theory and practice of teaching busi ness English, has shaped this course to appeal to three types or classes: to business men who wish to improvej their letters and thereby facilitate their business transactions; to teach ers of English in general and to teachers of Business English in par ticular; and, to all seeking advance ment, for letters play a part in every phase of modern life and the better-than-average letter writer is soon discovered and given wider oppor tunities. An outline of the course reveals ; stress placed on every phase of busi ness letter writing and also on the use of English in everyday life. Words are studied as to correct spell ing, pronunciation and use; difficul ties in sentence structure, grammar and punctuation are cleared up and every topic is illustrated by meanS'of live examples drawn from daily 'speech and writing. The discussion is plain and straight forward and en rolled students may send in questions for discussion. Two hours of University credit will be given to those who complete thej course satisfactorily and every les son will be read, graded and return ed to the student, with helpful com ment, by the Extension Division.

New Nebraska Songs Will Be Introduced Plans have been completed by the Associated Women Student BoarM for the Girls' Cornhusker luncheon, to be held Saturday at 12 o'clock in the Coliseum. Helen Aach, is chair man of the committee assisted by Helen Anderson. The tickets which are seventy-five cents will not be on sale after Wed nesday evening as an accurate check on the number of girls attending must be secured by Viola Forsell, chairman of the committee on food. No tickets will be sold at the door. Dean Amanda Heppner, Miss Elsie Ford Piper, assistant dean of women, Mrs. E. W. Lantz, and Miss Erma Appleby will be guests of honor. Places are being reserved for about twenty Motor-board alumnae, active members of Motorboard, members of the A. W. S. Board and chairmen of the committees for the luncheon. The Motorboard alumnae who were arranging a luncheon, changed their plans in order to come to the Corn husker luncheon in a body. Places are to be taken in the bal cony when entering the Coliseum, thus making it possible for everyone attending to take their places at the same time. A group picture will be taken just before the luncheon and the committee in charge especially urges that everyone arrive promptly at noon. Nick Amos will be there to lead the cheering and singing and as a special feature of the program a number of new Nebraska songs will be introduced. The program to be given at the close of the luncheon will include a danc)e by Virginia Richardson, a jazz skit by Kathryn Arensberg and Alice Duffy and a stunt by the Tassels. The table decorations in scarlet and cream are to be especially at tractive and the favors will carry out the same color note. Members of Mystic Fish, Xi Delta, Silver Ser pent dressed in white with their or ganization armbands and the mem bers of the Tassels in their official costume will be in charge of the serv ing with Esther Zinnecker as chair man. The luncheon will be over in plen ty of time for everyone to get to the game on time. Freshmen Lose Interest; Rhodes Issues Appeal A call for all freshman football men to report for practice has been issued by "Choppy" Rhodes, freshman head coach. This week is one of the most important prac tice weeks of the football cam paign. The varsity needs long strenuous practice to prepare for the invading Kansas Aggie -team. The coaching staff believes that it shows poor spirit on the part cf the freshman team to be absent from practice because the fresh man game is over. Every freshman football player has a part to play this week in helping Nebraska to win the Valley championship. If this call is not answered immed iately it may be necessary to with hold the numerals. out the matter being settled in any way after the fight were over. Usu lally some little fellow would start the fight and then run off leaving the ! others to fight it out. There was little co-operation be tween faculty and students and rela- tions between the two were not oi mr best Once a professor seeing a fight in progress rushed out of his office to stop it He grabbed the man on tin who thinkinsr that it was a stu dent coming to the aid of his oppon ent, rose up and without looking, cwun? out his fist and knocked down the professor. As soon as the stu dent saw whom he had nit, ne aasneu madly off the campus. This little incident shows how un satisfactory were the methods for dealing with the problem. The sit uation finally became so bad that a number of upperclassmen came to TmttuiaT Condra and asked that something be done about it. Dr. Con dra said that a great deal of thought nd time would have to be given the subject before a proper solution to the problem could be found. (Continued on Page Three.)

W. Swezey, head of the astronomy department. "The measurement of the earth is a result of the joint efforts of engin eers and astronomers. The engineers computed the area of the land and the astronomers computed the area of the oceans. "A mountai" rising from a plain may be taken as a means of finding the weight of the earth as the diver gence of a plumb line from the earth towards the mountain will give the comparative volume of the mountain and the earth. Thus a small part of the mountain, a cubic .yard for in stance, may be weighed and this mul tiplied by the total volume of the mountain to find the weight of it. Now it is a simple matter since we have found the ratio of the weight of the earth to the mountains," ex plained the professor, "to compute the weight of the earth. "The density and elasticity of the earth may be found by noticing the distortion which the moon produces upon it The result is found to be equal to the density and elasticity of steeL" Daily Nebraskan Inquiring Reporter Every day he asks a question of different students picked at random on the cam pas.

INTER-RACIAL GROUP MEETS Those Present At Tuesday Ves per Service Hear Problems Of Colored Girl "Few people realzie the signifi cance of the barriers that have been set up by race prejudice" said Cleo patria Ross at the regular Tuesday Vesper Service, where she spoke on "The Problems of Colored Girls." A specific example is the problem of employment It is very hard for an educated colored girl to get a posi tion in a business office. Most of us are planning to teach when we graduate from University. In this way, we hope to bridge some of tue barriers between the young of your race and the young of our race." "The Inter-racial group came about as a result of Miss Derricotte's visit to the Nebraska campus last year," said Dorothy Nott. Miss Der ricot: i is the Y. W. C. A. secretary for colored girls. This group was organized with the purpose of study ing the problems that confront the colored girl.

The most priceless heritage which we Americans possess has been won and preserved through the willingness of true patriots to sacrifice their property, their happi ness, their lives and I neir all for their country," stated H.

By comparing school spirit end its relation to the lue of a school with patriotism and its necessity to the life of a nation, Dean Foster suc ceeded in distinguishing the former as a stepping stone, a preoaratory ground for full comprehension of the latter spirit As. "no one can fully catch the spirit'of a worthy school wit'iout a knowledge of its history and some acquaintance with the lives and deeds of its famous men, so patriotism with out an intelligent understanding of the nation's history and a knowledge of the lives and deeds of its heroes is a mere blind emotion."

Forum Members To Hear Fraternity Discussion J. M. Rosborough will present the case for the present fraternity sorority system at World Forum this noon at the Grand Hotel at 12 o'clock. This is the first of a ser ies of two addresses to be given before the Forum on this subject. Unusual student interest has been attracted to this discussion. The problem is a vital one from the standpoint of the students and will be handled by two capable speakers. Professor J. A. Rice will speak against the present system next wec-k. on Patriotism patriotism, not only that great sacri fice men make in time of war, but also, in times of peace the sacrifice involved when we place our country's interests above our own. The Athenian youth upon leaving schools which were supported at pub lic expense, was required to take the following oath: "I will never disgrace these sacred arms, nor desert my companion in ranks. I will fight for temples and public property, both alone and with many. I will transmit my fatherland, not only not less, but greater and better, than it was trans mitted to me. I will obey the magis trates who may at any time be in power. I will observe both the exist ing laws and those which the people may unanimously hereaftre make, and, if any person seek to annul the laws or to set them at nought, I will do my best to prevent him, and will defend them both alone and with many." "Although no such oath is required from the American high school stu dent," concluded Dean Foster, "we, who know you, believe that yon will endeavor to "transmit" this country, not only not less, -but greater and better than it was transmitted" to you. On your true patriotism the fu ture of America depend." Y.W.C.A.

Results Are Pleasing Lacking two hundred and fifty dollars of its $1800 goal the Univer sity Y. W. C. A. Finance Drive came to a close yesterday noon. Over $500 of the total sum was turned in before 12 o'clock Tuesday. "We are confident that the re maining $250.00 and more will be collected in the Follow-up Drive which begins next week for there are hundreds of girls who have not as yet been interviewed.
