(By Munro Kezer) In the first two articles we have .botched the development of western SSuniverrfU- and of the Univer- of Nebraska. In this article we want to look at the spirit of the Um rJrsitv, which from the beginning ex emplif.ed the spirit of the state. We want to see what it has meant to the 84 The leaders of pioneer Nebraska laid the basis for a truly state univer ,itv a university whose mission was the betterment of the state, mater ally and culturally. The first Uni versity register and catalog stated that the "advantages of the Univer .. ffnrdd to all citizens of the commonwealth, free of charge for their tuition, without regard to sex or race, on condition only of possessing the intellectual ana morai quuxic tions requisite for admission." Tuition Made Free It was a school of equal opportun ity established in a state of great op portunities. Tuition was made free. It was felt that it was the duty of the state to supply educational ad vantage to students who were unable m.i nrnvision for it themselves. It was felt that the aid given these jnnls would Drove of benefit to situs - ! the state. No narrow, partisan limi tations for entry were maae. ADiiuy and character were the sol qualifi cations. Freedom, the keynote of intellec tual development, was the foundation stone of the University. Qpen to all, the University opened the way to in tellectual achievement of the highest order. Open to ail, it opened the way to the progressive betterment of the whole society, the entire state. The University was founded not as a school for the exceptional but as a school for all. It was designed to furnish the higher instruction from which the exceptional individual could profit. But its purpose did not end there. It was also designed to furnisn the average individual with a chance to acquire such training that he would be of more value to society or such cultural development that his life would be of more value to him self. School For Whole State It was a University for the people of the state, not just for the gen iuses of the state. At first its courses were limited. But the fundamental idea was there. As students were drawn to the University, so new cour ses were added to meet their needs. The ideal of the University was fun damentally different from the old European university. There, training was offered which interested students came to take. The State University attempted to furnish training which the youth of the state d-ired It did so, not by sacrificing the established educational standards, but by adding to them work to meet the differen (Continued on Page Three.) DIRECTORY IS SELLING FAST Management of Student Hand book Say Only 500 Copies Are Remaining The 1926-1927 Student and Facul ty directory has sold unusually fast; the checking Tuesday night showed that there were only five hundred left for sale, a record breaking sale for the directory. The book contains a list of all the students in the university, which number between 5500 and 6000. After the name of each student are the telephone number and address, the class in the university, the home town and fraternity or sorority af filiations. In the faculty list there are all of the names of the instruct ors With their telephone numbers snd addresses and all the other in formation that is found in the cata logue.

Lyman of the Col lege of Pharmacy announced yester day that beirinning next year the Col lege of Pharmacy will give only the four year course as the minimum in the college. Since the organization of the col lecre, about eighteen years ago, courses were given for two, three and four years. Two years ago the two vear course was dropped and this year is the last that the three year course will be given. This action puts all students on an equal basis, the only degrees will be the Bachelor of Arts and Pharmacy degrees. A movement to have only the four year course in the universities and colleges of the country is being con sidered, but as yet Ohio, Minnesota and Nebraska are the only ones that have adopted this system. According to Dean Lyman the time will come when a year of pre-college work will be required for admittance to the College of Pharmacy.

BACKFIELD HUSKER THREAT Chick Meehan's Crew Presents Formidable Lineup For Saturday Clash New York, Nov. 16 Five men, the "Four Centaurs" who make up the backfield, and Al "TNT" Lassman, star tackle, are expected to bear the brunt of the attack which Coach Chick Meehan's New York University football eleven will launch against the Nebraska Comhuskers in the game at Lincoln next Saturday. In Lassman, Meehan has one of the best tackles in the east. An amateur boxer of more than local fame, Lass man has developed into a valuable lineman on the gridiron. Ltiimta Tower of Strength His effect on the team was best seen in the New York U. victory over Fordham. Late in the second period, Lassman was injured. The Mechanites were trailing 3 to 0 at that time, and they continued to hold that relative position in the scor ing until the fourth quarter when the j boxer tackle returned to the game. Then the New York U team ran wild and scored 27 points to win. The "Four Centaurs" as the Mee han backfield has been named, con sists of Captain Frank Briante, re garded as one of the best line plung ers in the east; Jack Conner, the quarterback about whom- Meehan sr.ys h's team is built and of whom the New York U coach says, "he is one of the smartest quarterbacks I have ever seen; he always does the right thing at the right time"; Ken Strong, halfback, one of the longest and most accurate kickers on any gridiron, and Archie Roberts, half back. This quartet can plunge, pass, kick, back up a line, and do most anything else a good backfield should be able to do. The four are expect ed to give Nebraska plenty to worry about next Saturday. ANDREW T. ROY IS YESPER SPEAKER Traveling Secretary of Student Vol- nteer Movement Talks; Wini fred Sain Lead Meeting Andrew T. Roy, traveling secre tary of the student volunteer move ment for foreign missions, spoke at Vesper service on Tuesday at Ellen Smith Hall at 5 o'clock. Winifred Sain led the meeting. Viola Forsell gave a violin solo. "Religion should be our very life," said Mr. Roy. "Many people put re ligion on like a coat and cast it aside as soon. Giving yourself to God pro duces a feeling of unity within. A true Christian is able to feel other people's needs." "Christians and missionaries mean the same thing. A missionary wants to see growing life. He mast throw Christian seed into the wind so that it may find soil to develop in and grow. Missionaries lead heroic lives. They must be willing to die for their cause." Missionaries Make Progress "Today we have to think of mis sionaries with a broad point of view. Our scientists, for example, are mis sionaries. They invent medicines which are of untold value to the hu man race. All missionaries are the ver ycore of the world's progress." very core of the world's progress." price for which missionaries give up everything they have. They are pos sessed with a vision of a world in which every country has found Chris tianity. "The Milwaukee Conference to be held on December 28 to Jan. 1 has tremendous possibilities. It is the first joint conference that the nationa' student Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. has undertaken. Its purpose is to dis cover the resources of Christianity for life today and how to make these resources available to the present stu dent generation." Seattle Football Train Makes Special Schedule The Burlington-Northern Paci fic special train to Washington for the Thanksgiving Day game with the Washington Huskies will fol low a bee-line route and schedule from Lincoln to Seattle in order to get the team there as soon as possible. On the way back a more leisurely schedule has been worked out which will permit short stop overs. A short work-out durinff a two or three hours stop-over at Sand Point, Idaho, will be the only stop on the trip to Washington. Mr. Kaufmann, passenger agent of the Burlington, reports that more than 100 reservations on the train have been made by Omaha, Norfolk, Central City, Fremont and Lincoln people, not including the team and members of the coaching and training staff.

Hoagland who is in charge of the music for the Military Ball has been at work for several weeks in an at tempt to book Dprnberger's band which is rated as one of the coun try's best musical attractions today, Dornberger and his artists come to Lincoln to fill the December 3 engagement direct from the "Fleet wood of Fairyland" at Chattanooga, The M. C. A. boasts of this orchestra as an aggregation of real novelty musicians who know how to deliver the pep and sway of syncopation and harmony. Band Said Real Treat It will be the first time that a Vic tor orchestra has played for a danc ing party in Lincoln's . history and after playingat the Ritz and appear ing at the Ziegfield Midnight Frolics in New York less than a year ago students of the University and Lin coln residents who are able to secure tickets for the Ball have a real treat in store. Besides the music attraction which is being brought here at considerable expense, the Military Ball will sur pass all collegiate partiesever held at Nebraska. The grand march led by the Honorary Colonel who is to be presented to the student body for the first time is considered an at traction in itself. Novelty favors (Continued on Page Two.) ' Daily Nebraskan Inquiring Reporter Every day he asks a question of different students picked at random on the campus. Today's question: Do you think a cheerleader along with the team would help win the Washington game Thanksgiving Day? Asked at different places on the campus. Donald Russell, Law '29, North Platte. "If there is anybody there to cheer, I think there, should be a cheer-leader along, because it would help win the game. A school the size of Nebraska University should send a representative of the student body." Edith Stander, A. S., '27. Louisville. "Organized cheering always helps to win the games whether it it at home or elsewhere.' John Shaffer, A. S., '29, Hastings. "Some one should go along to lead the rooters that go to Washington; a cheer leader would ba certain to help win the game." Ed Cahow, A. S., '30, Omaha. "Whether a cheer leader is needed or not depends on the number of supporters who make the trip. A cheer leader couldn't help win the game if there was no one there to lead cheers for." Alviaa Olson, T. C, '30, McCook. "A cheer leader would give those more pep who were there, this would help win the game." Evelyn Angle, A. '27, Lincoln. "The team wouH know that they have our support if there was a cheer leader present" Th.Ima McCoy, T. C '30, Lincoln "If there was a cheer leader to represent us the team would know that we wanted them to win." Iris Luddea, T. C '28, Lincoln. "By all means I think we should send a cheer leader. This will show the team that they really have the backing of the student body. We can not all go to Washington, but wt can send our pep and enthusiasm in tbt form of a cheer leader. BAND BENEFIT DANCE PLANNED University Organization May Be Sent to Seattle For Washington Game Plans for the Band benefit dance November 20, to send the band to Seattle Thanksgiving, are well under way. Committees are concentrating their efforts on making the party the biggest ever held in the Coliseum. The ticket sale started this morn ing. A representative in each frater nity has been given tickets with which to canvass that house. The ticket sellers will also be active on the campus the latter part of the week. A committee has been ap pointed to call all the fraternity houses Thursday and Friday and urge them to support the dance in order that the band may make this trip. This is the one organization on the campus which can best carry Nebras ka spirit to Seattle according to Pro fessor W. T. Quick. He also declar ed that the band can do more good, and spread more spirit at a game than any other body of rooters. He expressed the wish that the students would realize that in sending the band they are doing all that is pos sible in the way of giving the team moral support, since it is impossible for a very large number of students to make the trip. Committees Are Chosen The committee chosen to' plan the party and work out the details are: General chairmen Robert V. Hoagland. Reception R. J. Maaske, Joe Hunt, Charles Dox, Eldred Larson. Refreshment Munroe Stevens and Howard Burdick, chairmen; Mildred Beckman, Pauline Clarkson, Iola Soloso, Sue Hall, Bonita Dud ley, Bennyce Weeks, Viola Allen, Robert Stauffer, Bryan Bailey, Har old Marcott, Francis Brown, Otto Baujnan and Edwin Brandis.

FORSTER SPEAKS ON CANADIAN WILD LIFE Visitor Says Photographing Animals Gives More Pleasure Than Shooting Them "Photographing wild animals gives more satisfaction than shooting them," urged Captain F. G. Forster of the Department of Interior of Canada while speaking on "The Pres ervation of Wild Life" in convoca tion Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock in the Temple Theater. Moving pic tures of Canadian scenery and wild life accompanied the talk. Mountain scenes from the Banff National park in British Columbia il lustrated the work of Canada to fur ther wild life. Captain Forster ex plained that harm to animals or de struction to scenery in this park is considered a crime in Canada. The Circle Road, part of the Col umbia Highway, starts at Portland, Oregon and continues north along the coast to British Columbia and Banff National Park. "Some of the most beautiful country of the world may be seen from this road," eontin ued Captain Forster in describing the western part of Canada. Twenty-five years of living in these unsettled regions of Canada have given Captain Forster an unusual preparation for his position as official lecturer for the Division of the In terior and Information, Canadian Na tional Parks, Department of the In terior. During the World War he served overseas as a chaplain in the Canadian army. Captain Forster also talked before 150 Lincoln people Monday evening at a joint dinner of the Ad Club, The Izaak Walton league; and the junior chamber of commerce held at the Chamber of Commerce.

RICE WILL SPEAK AGAINST GREEKS University Professor To Talk In Answer to Mr. Rosborough's Argument Last Week Professor J. A. Rice, professor in the classics department will speak against the fraternity-sorority system at World Forum this noon at the Grand Hotel. This will conclude the two-address pro and con discussion of fraternities before the Forum. Professor Rice is an Oxford grad uate, a keen and witty speaker, and a lively discussion is assured this noon. He spoke before the Forum last spring during the scries on "Pro gress." His address provoked more comment than perhaps any other in that series. He is expected to meet the arguments in favor of fraterni- ties advanced last week by Professor Rosborough of the University School of Music.

DOUBLE RALLY WILL BE HELD FRIDAY NIGHT Pep Session In Old Armory And Annual Torchlight Parade on Program LETTERMEN TO SPEAK Coach Schulte and George E. Condra Named as Principal Speakers of Session Nebraska's annual torch light par ade will be staged Friday night fol lowing the final football rally to be held in the Armory. The New York and Washington rallies will be. held in the form of a double rally Friday since the Comhuskers leave follow ing the game Saturday for the west coast. The closing rally of the 1926 sea son will be most impressive with every graduating football perform er saying a few words before the student body for his last time. Coach E. E. Bearg and Dr. George A. Con dra will be the chief speakers at the Friday night meeting. Parade Feature of Rally The rally in the Armory will be short and the torch light parade will be formed in front of Social Science on Twelfth street immediately after the close of the campus meeting. The entire student body led by the University Band, the Tassels and the Corn Cobs will form the parade and will march to the Lincoln hotel where Coach Meehan's New Yorkers will reside while in the Capital City. A generous welcome is being planned for the New York aggrega tion since it is the easterners' first trip to the middle west. The week's football slogan "Welcome West, New York" suggests the prevailing spirit of greeting to the visitors. OLYMPICS TO BE HELD SATURDAY Sophomores Gain Advantage With Addition of Games; Push Ball Is Feature This year's Olympics, to be held next Saturday morning as previously announced, will be much different from those of any pevius year ac cording to an announcement by the Olympic committee. Several changes have been made in old events and one new event has been added. The "push ball" is the new event this year. In this event about 100 freshmen will do battle with a like number of sophomores in an effort to push a ball 8 feet in diameter over their opponent's goal line. This event promises to be one of the fea tures of the program. Numbers No Advantage The "bull pen" has been changed so each team instead of trying to re main on the side of the center line away from its goal, will try to stay on its own side of the line. When the whistle blows at the end of ten minutes, the team having the great est number of men on the half of the field nearest the line from which it started will win the event. Sophomores are given a much greater' chancellor victory this year as the only event in which numbers will count is the pole rush. In pre vious years the frosh have won by numbers in other events, but this year only a limited number will be allowed to compete. Instructors have been given au thority to excuse all first and second year men from Saturday morning classes. SPECIAL COURSE TO BE GIVEN PARKERS Automobile and Tractor Instruction Will Be Offered Brfinning December 27 An automobile and tractor short course will be offered at the Ne braska College of Agriculturi this winter.
