a meeting of the Cosmopolitan club
Saturday evening.
In telling of the country there he
said that the people living at the foot
of the Alps did a little farming, for
much barley is raised and truck driv
ing is carried on. One unique thing
about the region is that walls from
two to four feet high are built around
the villages. These are made to pro
tect the people from landslides which
occur at intervals every year. Steel
bridges, instead of wooden or cement
bridges, are very ruch in evidence.
Traces of the Roman civilization
have stamped themselves upon the
Alpine culture. Inhabitants of the
valley have records sinre 1100 which
have been handed down to the pres

the Romans crossed the Alps quite
frequently. Architecture dates back
as far as 1760.
In the valley of the Rhone river

JOURNALISTS TO
MEET AT DINNER
Theta Sigma Phi Sponsors First
Social Get-together for AH
Students in School
WALKER APPROVES MEET
"This projected school of journal
ism dinner, sponsored by Theta Sig
ma Phi, I heartily endorse, and
I strongly urge attendance upon
every member of the school," de
clared G. C. Walker, acting director
of the school of journalism, late yes
terday afternoon, in speaking of the
dinner for all journalists to be held
in the Silver Moon Thursday eve
ning. "Because of conflicting work and
class engagements," he continued, "it
has been almost impossible to ar
range a convocation hour when all
the students of the school could meet
together. Your dinner should serve
the purpose of enabling the students
of the school to get acquainted, and
also the less obvious purpose of
awakening a professional conscious
ness in the newer members."
For the first time in the history
of the school of journalism all mem
bers will be given an opportunity to
meet together in a social gathering.
Munro Kezer will act as toast
master and Gayle C. Walker, acting
director of the school of journalism
and Professor James Lawrence, man
aging editor of the Lincoln Star, will
address the group. Frederick Daly,
Charles Bruce, Milton McGrew,
Ralph Bergston and Dorothy Nott

CADETS SECURE
NEW FEATURES
Music for First "Cadet Crawl"
Is Engaged By Scabbard
And Blade
DANCE WILL BE INFORMAL
Tracy Brown's original orchestra
from Omaha, has been engaged to
furnish the music for the "Cadet
Crawl," October 29, it was learned
yesterday from Henry Jorgenson,
cadet colonel. It was explained that
this is not the orchestra which played
for the first varsity party, October
15.
The orchestra is a twelve piece
group, and carries with it entertain
ment for 'intermission. Several of
the acts which the band is bringing
with it, have been staged in Omaha
theatres, and according to Jorgen
son, there are enough of them to
make a complete bill for a theatre.
Since this is the first attempt of
Scabbard and Blade to put on an in
formal dance of this nature, every
effort is being put forth to make
this party as much of a success in
its way as the traditional military
ball has been in the world of formal
parties.
Tickets have been distributed to
representatives of all of the frater
nities and the advance ticket sale in
dicates that the dance will be well
attended. The cadet captains of all
the companies are handling the ticket
sale within their own companies.
"The party will not be military in
any of its aspects," declared Jorgen
son, "except that it is being staged
by the military honorary organiza
tion. We are trying to make it the
most informal party of the season
and hence we are leaving out any
thing that has to do with the army."
Arrangements for special enter
tainment and for decorations have
not been made public yet although
the committees for these have been
at work for some time.
Thirty Ushers Needed

ANDREWS HALL
TO BE ERECTED
BY NEXT YEAR
New Building Must Be Ready
College of Dentistry Early
In September
CONTRACT LET ( SOON
Plans May Provide for Housing
Of College of Business
Administration
Andrews hall, new building for
the university campus, will be ready
for occupancy by next September, if
present plans work out. Construc
tion of the new building will be
pushed so that the college of dentis
try, at least, can move into its new
quarters at the beginning of the
school year. This is made necessary
by the fact that the lease on the pres
ent quarters at 13th and P streets
terminates in September. The arch
itects will advertise for bids this
week, and contracts will be let in
about two weeks.
The present plans for the building
call for the English department to
occupy the first floor, the depart
ment of modern languages the sec
ond floor, and the college of dent
istry the third. It is possible that
the college of business administration
will take over one floor, in which
case the department of Germanic
languages will move to Social
Sciences and the other modern lan
guages remain their present quarters.
This proposed arrangement would
provide for expansion of the college
of business administration.
Will Be Located on Drill Field
The location and general design of
the new building are planned to fit
the new campus plans. The building
will be erected on the drill field just
south of Morrill hall, and will face
south, fronting the proposed quad
rangle, which will also be flanked by
Social Sciences building, Teachers'
college, and a proposed building
south of Bessey hall. The construc
tion will be of brick, trimmed in
Bedford stone. The general arrange
ment of the halls, stairways, and
classrooms is identical withthat of
Social Sciences.
Entrances will be on the south,
east, and west sides. The building
will be the same size as Morrill hall,
and will cost approximately $300,000,
It is named in honor of former
Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews.

CAR PROPOSAL
IS DISCUSSED
Dean Thompson States Ruling
Is Proving Successful In
Most Colleges
USE OF CAR WASTES TIME
Reticence characterized the atti
tude of the dean of student affairs
and the dean of women concerning
the proposal of the board of regents
to restrict student cars, when they
were interviewed Monday.
Dean Thompson stated that he
had not expected the ruling to come
so soon. He said that it had been
adopted in practically all of the
large state universities where it was
proving successful in the opinion of
college officials at those institutions.
Correcting the statement of the
Daily Nebraskan Sunday, Dean
Thompson said that restrictions had
been placed on student automobiles
at the University of Michigan. This
was done late last year, the action
being precipitated, Dean Thompson
added, because of several serious ac
cidents. Parents Were Captioned
Caution to students and parents
has been the only university action
previous to the regents' action, Dean
Thompson said. He quoted the fol
lowing from a letter sent to the par
ents of all newly registered students:
"The automobile is another factor
which often wastes the time of a
student and frequently involves him
in other serious difficulties. Many
universities have forbidden their use
by students. It is well for you to
consider carefully, therefore, wheth
er you are willing to accept the risks
which are yours when you permit
your son or daughter to operate an
automobile while in attendance at
the university."
"The action of the regents came
as a complete surprise to me, Dean
Heppner announced. "I had heard no
discussion of it on the campus. Con
sequently, I have had no opportunity
to think about it as yet."
Sunday Talk Is
Illustrated By
Two Movie Reels
With a moving picture reel on the
evolution of systems of writinir. and
one entitled "The World's Most
Wonderful Insect" as the features nf
the program, Morrill hall attracted a
large number of visitors, Sunday af
ternoon.
The two reels of Dictures which
were shown in the auditorium proved
very interesting. The first reel
showed the evolution of systems of
writing, from eprly Babylonian times
when picture-writing was inscribed
upon clay cylinders, and sheets of
papyrus; through the EevDtian and
Phoenician developments of the al
phabet, up to the alphabet we now
use, which is called the Roman sys
tem.
The second reel. "The World's
Most Wonderful Insect." concerned
the seventeen-year locust, which is
common in the United States. It
showed how the insect, after a brief
period of aerial life, lavs
the bark of trees and dies. These
eggs develop into larvae which go
into the ground, where thev remain
for seventeen winters and seventeen
summers, without seeing light. At
the end of that period, in May or

FRATERNITIES
DROP OUT OF
3 HONORARIES
Eleven Groups Will Not
Support Underclass
Mens Societies
ULTIMATUM MONDAY
Chapters Find Green Gcblins,
Iron Sphinx and Vikings
Unworthy
Eleven social fraternities issued an
ultimatum late last evening follow
ing chapter action on the withdrawal
from underclass men's honorary or
ganizations. Following is the reso
lution: October 24, 1927.
To the Daily Nebraskan:
Wre, the members of the under
signed fraternities, believing the
underclass honoraries namely,
the Green Goblins, the Iron
Sphinx, and the Vikings to' be
unworthy of our further sup
port, do hereby withdraw our
members from the above organ
izations. Alpha Theta Chi
Kappa Sigma
Phi Delta Theta
Phi Gamma Delta
Phi Kappa Psi
Pi Kappa Phi
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Sigma Chi
Sigma Nu
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Coming to the office as a mere
rumor the Daily Nebraskan investiga
ted the story and secured signed
statements from each president of
the eleven fraternities concerned.
These statements show that the with
drawal was not only by political
Jeaders but by the group action of
each fraternity.
The chief reason given by these
fraternities for their withdrawal was
that they did not believe the groups'
activities merited a place on the cam
pus. Others indicated a prejudice
against the organizations.
The withdrawal will not take ef
fect until October 31. The rea
son for delaying the withdrawal,
as stated by leaders of the
group, was to hold the Vikings, jun
ior class society, intact until its pre
sent duty of handling Dads' Day
luncheon tickets for the Innocents
society was completed.

Conference of Agricultural Engineers
With Coolidge Is Reported on
By Professor Sjogren
The Engineers' club of Lincoln and
the Nebraska section of the American
society of mechanical engineers held
a joint meeting last night at the
Grand hotel in observance of man
agement week. A report on the con
ference of the agricultural engineers
with President Coolidee which was
held this summer in the Black Hills
was given by Prof. O. W. Sjogren of
the department of agricultural engin
eering. Professor Sjogren's report on the
conference stated several facts of in
terest to the engineers attending the
meeting. Some of them are: An en
gineering approach worthy of the
name must be a logical, clean-cut,
and aggressive' analysis of cause and
effect. Agricultural engineering in
cludes definitely the incorporation
into agriculture of the ideals of high
efficiency as distinguished from the
aim of merely trying to get the av
erage. There are three factors in
fluencing the income of the individ

individual; (2) Selling price; (3)
Cost of production. A mathematical
formula for this states that the in
