Thanksgiving Vacation
Period Lasts Four Dayt
Thanksgiving vacation is sched
uled from Wednesday evening,

nouncement from the office of
the Dean of Student Affairs.

COUNCIL MEETS
AT LATER DATE
National Meetings Postponed
To December 15, 16 and 17;
Speakers Secured
MANY PLAN TO ATTEND
Student Council convention will
be held on the Nebraska campus De
cember 15, 16 and 17 instead of the
earlier date as announced, according
to local convention chairmen. The
reason for the change as given in a
message received from the national
headquarters at Vassar college
states that it was impossible to se
cure two of the most prominent of
the national speakers who were sche
duled for the program n th Decem
ber 3 date. They will be present; De
cember 15 for the opening meeting
of the Congress.
A large number of letters have
bee?, received by the Nebraska coun
cil relative to the convention. One
received yesterday stated that the
representative from tho Pacific
Coast schools were planning on mat
ing the trip to Lincoln in a body on
a special train.
The change in date will probably
bring twice the number of delegates
to the campus, as had previously been
expected. The national council or
ganization will be able to more fully
round out their plans.
Program Outstanding
The program is expected to be
outstanding. The delegates last year
had opportunity of hearing such re
nowned educators as Dr. McCrackern
of Wisconsin, Dr. Little of Michigan
and this year several professors from
foreign colleges are to be included
on the speakers list.
Details of the convention will have
to be slightly worked over in order
to' fit in to the later December date,
However (the general scheme will be
the same and committees already an
nounced will continue to function,
council officials declare.

dress entitled, "The Value of Schol

fluence of scholarship in the further
ing of art, as there can be no cre
ative research without it. His talk
covered many interacting phases of
the field of art itself, art in the mid
dle ages, and the detection of art
fakes by the use of the X-Ray photo
graph, by which authorship of a
painting is determined, regardless of
pictures which may have been paint

HEDGES DISCUSSES
GRAINS IN ARTICLE
Corn and Wheat Crops and Prices
Are Treated by Professor
In Rural Economics
"While prospects for farm pro
ducts as a group are satisfactory and
pessimism is not warranted, one un
satisfactory development has been
the rapid decline in corn prices in
the last 90 days," says Harold
Hedges, department of rural eco
nomics, in the monthly Nebraska Ec
onomics Situation.
"The usual seasonal trend of corn
prices is downward from November
to December so seasonal weakness in
corn prices appears likely for the
next thirty days unless there is a de
lay in the movement of new corn.
So much livestock was sold off last
year due to the drought conditions
that a much larger proportion than
normal of the corn crop is expected
to be sold as grain. The quality and
size of this year's crop are estimated
to be slightly higher than the 1926
crop, but below the ten wear aver
age. The visible supply of corn No
vember 12 was seven million bushels
smaller than in 1926 and primary
receipts have been but little more
than half as large as a year ago. ,
"Industry shows less activity than
a year "ago hut is gaining in effi
ciency and lower production costs.
Money is easy to get, and there is
very little unemployment in indus
trial centers."
Last Game
.:':A
Captain "Jug" Brown, who will
lead the Husker team into the last
game of the 1927 season and his
grid career. "Jug" will probably ap

last game.

rooms Tuesday noon. The players
were introduced and short talks
were given by Captain "Jug" Brown
and Coa-h Beaig. Captain Brown

TORCHLIGHT
PARADE WILL
BE TONIGHT
Short Rally Will Be Held in
Coliseum; Procession
To Cornhusker
SEVERAL WILL SPEAK
"Bunny" Oakes, Swanson Will
Be Principal Speakers;
Team Called On
Nebraska's annual torchlight pa
rade will take place this evening. A
short rally will be held at the Col
iseum, starting at 7:15 o'clock, fol
lowing which a procession will be
formed which will march to the
Cornhusker hotel to greet the New
York team.
"Bunny" Oakes, Husker line coach
and Clarence Swanson, former Ne
braska football player, will be the
principal speakers at the Coliseum.
A few members of the team will be
called on to say a few words, but the
meeting will be short.
Following the pep-session at the
Coliseum the Corn Cob", and Tassels
will lead a parade to the Cornhusker
hotel. The torchlight tradition for
Thanksgiving games will be carried
out, and red, flaring torches will
light the way, lining the route taken
by the procession. Every Nebraska
student is urged to take part in this
affair, and give the New York team
a suitable welcome to Nebraska.
Team Remains in Pullmans
The eastern team is not registered
at a hotel, but will stay in their
sleepers. They will take dinner at
the Cornhusker, however, and here
the Nebraska rooters will give them
the traditional welcome reserved for
their Thanksgiving game opponents.
The greatest torchlight parade and
welcome of Nebraska history was
staged two years ago for the Notre
Dame team on the eve of that
Thanksgiving game, and it is hoped
that, in view of the inter-sectional
importance of this game, a rally and
parade of equal proportions may
take place tonight. ,
At the Cornhusker hotel the root-
ers will gather to give the New York
team a Husker welcome. New York
coaches have promised to address
the assemblage, and the Nebraska
cheer leaders, the Corn Cobs and
Tassels will conduct the pep-welcome.
Fraternities Asked to Cooperate
Cooperation of fraternities and
sororities was secured by the Inno
cents society in the buying of torch
es. These Greek-letter organizations
responded very satisfactorily to the
call for torch-subscriptions, and as a
result, a creditable number of torch
es has been purchased for the parade
tonight. These torches will be deliv
ered some time today by the Corn
Cobs before their house-to-honae
tour of sororities to urge attendance
at the rally and parade. Torches will
go on sale at Long's College Book
Store as soon as they arrive, and in
dividuals who wish to buy them may
