resentatlves of each class, together
with a free for all battle to wind up
the exercises. It is of particular in
terest to note that the students were
not strong for the rougher events
which the faculty were in favor of
having.
Chancellor Andrews showed a
friendly attitude, and said he was
not afraid of anybody being hurt.
The first Olympics was a much
rougher contest than any ever held
since, according to Dr. Condra, who
has seen every one since. In the first
few Olympics everything was allowed
in the free for all battles except the
strangle hold, kicking and slugging.
No man was allowed to leave the field
until the battle was declared finished,
and those who tried to sneak out
were pushed back in by the upper
classmen.
As soon as the annual struggle be
tween the two classes was on a per
manent basis Dr. Condra asked for
suggestions of naming the contests,
and to the late Dr. Bessey goes the
honor of proposing the name Olym
pics, which he probably associated
with the ancient Greek contests of
the same name.
For several years after its origin
the Olympics were held under the
direction of a committee of juniors
and seniors. Dale McDonald '11, now
an officer in the army, was the first
chairman in charge of the contests.
Later the Innocents were given
charge of the Olympics and they have
directed them since.
The Olympics gave a great impetus

to outdoor track and field events.
Cross country runs and track events
wore regular features of the contests,
and boxing made its first debut at
Nebraska as a number in the Olympic
day program.
The Olympics have created a finer
University spirit, thinks Dr. Condra
who says that as a result incoming
freshmen are received at Nebraska
with open arms in contrast to the
hazing at other schools. The Olym
pics offer an opportunity to get the
whole class together on a project. It
is an organized fight, and there is no
rowdyism. All students are the same
on the day of the Olympics and new
acquaintances are developed.
The green cap tradition came a
little later after the Olympics were
well established. Dale Boyle, of
Albo, banker at McCook, then a sen
ior, was leader of a group of students
who were instrumental in establish
ing the green cap tradition. It has
become well established, and has been
misunderstood by very few. It has
served the good purpose of being a
badge for all freshmen, and has
served to unify the members of the
freshmen class. Its connection with
the Olympics lies in the fact that the
freshmen can doc the green caps if
they win the contests from the sopho
mores. Major Improvements
Are Made In Faculty
And Student Directory
Several major improvements have
been made in the studenfand faculty
directory which goes on sale next
Monday. The book will be bound in
regular book fashion instead of the
old saddle-stitch, and will be printed
on thick magazine paper between
heavy scarlet covers. Every telephone
number has ben checked by the tele
phone company, so the chances for
error are very greatly reduced. The
book will sell for fifty cents. Sales
tables will be placed in all the prin
cipal buildings of the main campus
as well as the College of Agriculture
campus.

Exhibits Collection
Of Fine Cheney Silks
The Home Economics department
of the University at the College of
Agriculture campus has a collection
of fine silks from the Cheney Silk
Company, New York, on display in
their show-rooms until November 12.
The collection consists of dress and
drapery Bilks in patterns and tex
tures which reproduce faithfully
those of old periods. Damask and vel
vets in the reds and golds of the
Renaissance, rich brocades and tap
estries of Persian and Chinese in
fluence, and eightcenth-c e n t u r y
French brocades and taffetas in deli
cate floral design are shown.
Another feature of the exhibit is
the collection of costumes which
show the use of these textiles. Among
them is a couFt gown of the Empress
Josephine, wife of Napoleon Bona
parte, with a court train embroidered
in gold; and a very elaborate cos
tume of Queen Elizabeth of England.
On Friday, the Home Economics
section of the Womens Club will visit
the silk exhibit, and Miss Morton will
explain the collection. This will be
followed by their regular lecture dis
cussion hour on clothing selection.
Everyone is invited.
Intelligent Living is
One of Main Proposals
In Report at Rutgers
New Brunswick, N. J. (By New
Student Service). Rutgers students
want to know "How to Live."
Intelligent living is one of the main
proposals in an undergraduate report
on the state of Rutgers education
(modeled after the famous Dart
mouth Report). The proposed course
would consider the responsibilities of
fatherhood, sex hygiene and the fun
damental principles of psychology.
A department of athletics is also
proposed by these students who have
been considering the needs of Rutgers
for six months. A full professor
would head this department. It is
suggested that each student be re
quired the minor in athletics.
"The committee feels that some of
the apathy in students at the present
time is due in no small degree to the
methods of teaching and the people
who teach," the report said. "It is
felt that there are many instructors
who have been chosen because of
their prominence in a given field than
because of their abilities as teachers."

Fellowships For Study In Germany
Are Offered io
The American German Student
Exchange, Inc., announces that a lim
ited number of fellowships for study
in Germany will be awarded to Amer
ican students for the year 1927-28.
German universities have estab
lished these fellowships as an inter
national exchange for similar fellow
ships established by American col
leges for German students. It is
hoped that the Fellows will do their
part toward developing international
friendship and good will by creating
a tradition of cooperation and reci
procity between the United States
and Germany in the study of the in
stitutions and psychology of the two
countries. The fellowships are open
to both men and women.
To meet the requirements for eli
gibility, a candidate must present
proof of:
a) American citizenship.
b) A working knowledge of Ger
man. c) Ability to carry on work at a
German university, which implies at
least two years in an American col
legeor university.
d) Ability to pursue independent
study and research.
e) Good moral character and
adaptability.
f) Good health.
Preference in selection will be
given to applicants between the agef
of twenty and thirty and particularly
to those who are potential leaders in
public life.
Attractively colored sweaters in the favorite shpon
style with student neck and small collar. These have just
arrived and are the fashionable thing for sports wear, for
school, and for wear with separate skirts under coats, for
general wear.
Color Combinations
are especially good looking bright scarlets, tans, orange,
blues, green, and browns combined in two tone or con
trasting effects. Some are plain knit others in fancy stitch.

The fellowships are offered in var
ious fields of study, as follows: Poli
tical Science, Economics, Agriculture,
Natural Sciences, Engineering, Soc
iology, History, Literature, Psychol
ogy, Theology, Education, Interna
tional Law, Commerce, Journalism,
etc.
The fellowships' cover tuition,
board and lodging during the aca
demic term, and are tenable for one
year. Studies will be expected to fur
nish an amount of money sufficient
for traveling expenses to and from
the German university and for use
during periods of vacation.
American Fellows will be required
to roDort at the universities to which
they are assigned at the time of offi
cial opening (about October 10) and
to reside in Germany at least ten
months. They may express preferen
ces for certain universities, but these
preferences must be supported by
adequate reasons for the choice, in
order to merit consideration by the
Committee. Assignments will be made
by the Committee after considera
tion of the subjects of study chosen
by the Fellows.
For application blanks, and full in
formation, address: Carl J. Friedrich,
American German Student Exchange,
Inc., Institute of International Edu
cation, 522 Fifth Avenue, New York.

NOBODY understands the principle of a bal
anced program better than the manager of a
vaudeville house.
That's a thought to you men now making out
your study programs. Balance the chemistry
with English literature; balance your calculus
with economics.
It all gets down to the fact that in industry
today, electrical communication included, you
will find men well grounded Li their specialty but
broad in human sympathies men of the "all
around" type who can shoulder big responsibility
in a big organization.

GROUP MEETS

a piano solo.
Margaret Peterson spoks on
"What the Inter racial group hs
mount to Me." ."At first we made
a complete study of Inter-racial rela
tions. Negro books and outlines
were studied to find out, if possible
the cause of racial discrimination.
We came to the conclusion that it
came from an indirect source, and
that it had no definite basis. There
fore it could not be right and should
be done away with. Christ's teach
ings say "All things whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them."
The Inter racial group wishes that
students would realize their respon
sibility as Christian students and do
all in their power to establish a real
feeling of friendliness and under
standing between the races.
