tti&Joy William, For Sev
eral Years m China,
Attends Meeting
More than one hundred and fifty
tromen sat down at the long tables on
the third floor of the city Y. W. C.
for the dinner which officially
jtarted the annual Grace Coppock
memorial drive. Each team, composed
of a captain and ten members sat in
a group, and at this time the cap
tains gave their final instructions;
the team members received the actual
material for the drive.
Tou have sent funds and friends
and faith," declared Miss Ethel Joy
Williams who has spent several years
as a Y. W. C. A. secretary in China
and who spoke as a young Chinese
girl might speak to her 'sisters" in
America. Miss Williams was dressed
in Chinese costume. "We look to you
in the United States as our older sis
ters, not in years, but in opportun
ity," she said.
Crace Cop pock's Work Known
"We have heard more about you
Nebraska sisters because of Grace
Coppock and because of Vera Bar
ker, and through her we know that
jou have faith. I want to teu you
some of the things it means to ns liv
ing out there under the blue triangle
for you are all blue triangle sisters.
"A new age is dawning in China.
Chinese women are coming to the
front and sisters are standing beside
their brothers." Miss Williams told
of how the Y. W. C A. in China is
looking to Chinese leadership. Only
one example of this fact is the fact
that Hiss Vera Barger, a Nebraska
graduate and head of all recreational
work in China, has a Chinese girl
practically trained to take her place.
"They have insisted that funds com
ing from this side be invested in
people, not equipment. Whenever
possible a Chinese person must do the
job. Our place is to make ourselves
dispensible."
WQhelmina Schellak, chairman of
the Grace Coppock committee, gave
a short talk on the work of the drive.
"We are here," she said, "because we
believe in this work with all our
hearts." Group singing was led by
Lucile Bauer and Miss Alta Hults and
several songs in Chinese.
MUs Coppock a Nebraskan
Grace Coppock was graduated
from Nebraska in '05, and went to
China with two other secretaries to
do Y. W. C. A. work there. It is be
cause of. her work that the Chinese
women have learned to play, have
gained a better position socially than
they previously held, and have had
better working conditions than they

DR. RICE TALKS TO
YESPERS OH BIBLE
Father of Nebraska Professor Says
We Matt Realize for Whom
Bible Was Written
"The Bible came out of religion
and religion did not come from the
Bible," said Dr. John A Rice, in his
talk on "Growth and Outgrowth of
the Bible" at vespers on Tuesday at
5 o'clock. Dr. Rice who is the father
of Prof. J. A. Rice of the University
is the pastor of the Methodist church
at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"To truly understand and compre
hend the Bible we must study for
what people it was intended and
hat it was meant to convey. We
must look at the Bible just as we do
at other forms of literature and study
it with the background in view. Take
the Book of Job, for instance, it
seems a little odd and queer to us
unless we visualize it with its proper
setting."
Dr. Rice told of a southern friend
of his who said that most of us know
the Bible and the hog knows its pas
ture. The pig knows just where to
find his corn and we know just where
to find the particular verse of ext
for which we are looking.
"I believe that w get from the
Bible just what we art looking for,"
the speaker said. "A college friend
of mine used to pray for a wife, Xord
be used to pray.give me a wife who
dl be a helpmate and a true mate,
nd dear Lotd, let Siiiy U the gaL' "
"The Bible will speak forever to
the lowest depths for it is made from
the lowest depths," concluded the
Teaker.

TWO ORCHESTRAS TO PLAY
With the sale of tickets mounting
above expectations, the success of the

man of the committee stated yester
day afternoon. All unused tickets

ha, and Beck's of Lincoln, have been
engaged to play for the final formal
social event of the season.
Favors in the form of unique pro
grams will be given out the night of
the Prom, the committee announced.
Because of the crowd that is ex
pected to be present the Prom will
be held at the Coliseum and every

Ineligibility In Way
Team, Coach Bearg Tells Reporter
"Ineligibility is playing havoc with
the fine freshman prospects that we
were figuring on for the 1927 Corn-
husker grid team," was the statement
Coach Earnest Bearg, Nebraska's
football mentor gave to a sports re
porter for the Daily Nebraskan to
day. The Husker coach was very re
luctant to give out such a statement,
because Nebraska has always been
noted for the high standard of schol
arship it has maintained among its
athletes., Nebraska athletes are known
the world over for their prowess in
the classroom and on the field. "But
nevertheless we are going to have a
hang-up fighting Cornhusker eleven
on the gridiron when tho students re
tarn to Nebraska this fall," said the
Dusker conch with a smile that be
trayed his satisfaction of the, pro
gress that his proteges were making
during the spring practice.
Coach Bearg is very optimistic in
regard to the football team that Ne
braska will have on the field next
awiusm, ud is best on making ft
Nebraska's great year on the grid

the stellar football men that will be

The University will be the host
of approximately 3000 high school
students and faculty members, this
week end. Of the total number 2216
will be members of the various teams,
300 will be high school coaches and
assistants, while the remainder will
be comprised of supporters and facul
ty members.
"Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the tournnment Thursday,
officials have been appointed, check
stands are finished, seating arrange
ments have been made, the enter
tainment has been completed, and the
floors are in fine shape," Herbert D.
Gish stated.
The referees for Thursday are the
only ones definitely assigned. The
high school coaches will have some
selection for the following games.
The meeting of all officials was held
last night for final instructions.
The tourney will offer an excellent
opportunity for the high school stu
dents to acquaint themselves with
the University. All classes and class
rooms will be open to them. Definite
plans have been made to help the
visitors acquaint themselves with the
University during their stay here.
OUTLAW AWCWAN TO

New Edition, of Nebraska Homoroa
Publication Promises Mora
Original Material
Several new features are to be
included in the March issue, the
"Outlaw Number" of the Awgwan,
when it makes its appearance on the
campus thl last part of. this week.
The new number will be ready for
distribution Friday and can be se
cured at all news stands and the Col
lege Book Store.
The editors are trying to give more
local color to the humorous publica-
tion and are striving to secure a
more personal atmosphere. "Aunt
Mamies Mail Box," Hooz Hoo on the
Campus, new features in the last is
sue will be continued and those in
charge promise something new in the
way of complimentary articles.
"The 'Take-Off Number' was a
huge success," Jack Boyer, editor of
the comic paper said today, "and the
personal attitude seems to b taking
with the students. Circulation sf the
magazine has increased twenty per
cent and should continue with the re
maining numbers."
Allan Klein has cleverly drawn up
the cover for this issue. Six covers
were submitted, thereby speaking
well for the one chosen. Fill Fent.

present studying in a New York art

Rice, Visiting Here
the first thiiig, one must go back and
study the customs and conditions of
those people, and find out what it
did mean to them. The modern ap
proach will be to take every part of
the Bible for just what it is spirit
ually worth."
Dr. Rice was very earnest in de
claring that there would eventually
come an interpretation which would
satisfy the needs of people who are
doubting it so much now. The old
idea of the infallability of the ver
bally dictated Bible is being openly
doubted today, and some new, ade
quate interpretation must be formed.
Regarding his talks to university
students, he stated that he hoped to
help them gain a cleaner apprecia
tion of the Bible as a record of the
experiences of God in human life,
and instill in them c vital message
for them and for those who com-,
after.
He is the father of J. A. Rice of
the Classics department, and will de

SPONSORS TO
BE NAUED AT
RIFLE PARTY
Plans Laid for First Spring
Party; to be Given By
Military Group
PLAN NOVEL DECORATION
Scottish Rite Ball Room To
Take On Appearance of
Eastern Temple
The selections of sponsors to mili
tary organizations have been made
by practically all unit commanders
and they await their formal presen
tation at the First Annual Spring
Hop, a subscription dance by Per
shing Rifles on Saturday night of this
week. The list of sponsors is being
completed in the offices of the mili
tary department, and after the
Spring Hop it will be taken to be
featured in the society sections of
the Lincoln Sunday newspapers.
Any military officers eligible to
choose sponsors for their organiza
tions who have not entered the names
in Nebraska Hall should do so im
mediately. Sponsors Are Chosen
The selection and presentation of
military sponsors in this manner is
something new on the Nebraska cam
pus, although it is quite an old cus
tom in other schools. Being chosen'
to sponsor the work of from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty men
should indicate no small Btep in the
ladder of social success for a co-ed,
and this is the first time that Ne
braska's favored eighteen girls are
to be given the proper recognition.
A regimental sponsor, three battal
ion sponsors, thirteen company spon
sors, ao3 a sponsor for the organiza
tion of Pershing Rifle company con
stitute the list of positions to be
filled.
With the Pershing Rifle Spring
Hop but four days "T, Ibe plans of
the committee are about perfected.
Beck's Orchestra has plans for open
ing their own series of many engage
ments with something new and dif
ferent for the dancers of the evening.
The ball room of the Scottish Rite
Temple will take on the appearance
of the palace of an oriental ruler,
with a canopy and large clusters of
highly colored flowers in baskets and
vases of true eastern style. Punch
will be served to refresh the dancers
in their merriment.
Tickets for the Spring Hop may be
obtained from any members of Per
shing Rifles or in the Military De
partment's offices in Nebraska HalL
In case any tickets remain on the
night of the party, they will be avail
able at the doors. The price of ad
mission is only one dollar and fifty
cents, made possible by the large
membership of the sponsoring organ
ization. The change in appearance, from
formal to spring-like and informal
will mean much in the eyes of many
who are tiring of the tuxedo and the
gown.
NATIONAL WORKER
INTERVIEWS GIRLS
Miss Alice Reynolds, Y. W. C. A.
Staff Member, Spends Time on
The Nebraska Campus
Miss Alice Reynolds, of the na
tional staff of the Y. W. C. A., has
been interviewing the university girls
who are interested in the Y. W. C. A.
for the last two days at Ellen Smith
Hall.
About sixteen girls had interviews
with Miss Reynolds while she was
here. All of these girls were inter
ested in some phase of the Y. W. C.
A. work such as the position of an
Industrial Secretary, a Business
Girl's Secretary, a Girl Reserve Sec
retary. No one inquired about the
work of the Girl's Gymnasium Sec
retary or the Cafeteria Secretary.
This was quite surprising because
this is a position that usually inter
ests many.
The girls who desired to take this
up as a profession and who can qual
ify will be selected by the Y. W. C.
A. for the profession of secretarvshiD
and will study in New York.
Miss Reynolds also advised the'
girls as to the subjects they should
pursue to qualify for this type of
work. She recommended sociology,
adolescent psychology, educational
philosophy and economics.
