L PLAY AT F
Elaborate Decorative Note
Will Be Carried Out in
All Appointments
TICKETS GIVEN AWAY
Two orchestras, Beck's and the
Nebraskans, have been booked for
the Fall Frolic, first Varsity Party
which will be held In the Coliseum
Saturday evening, October 13.
These two orchestras will furnish
music continuously throughout the
party. There will be no Intermis
sion. Decoration committee members
have planned a motive of disguise
for the Coliseum Interior. Decora
tions will represent the idea of a
Fall Frolic in a manner unusual
for any university party. One of
the main features of the decora
tive effects will be a mass of two
thousand balloons which will be
fastened to the celling and re
leased during the party. A pro
fessional decorator has been se
cured by the committee to work
with them.
"A number of house parties
have been booked for this night,"
remarked Jack Elliott, Varsity
Party chairman yesterday, "but
we are expecting everyone to give
this first dance a try even though
their fraternity or sorority has ar
ranged for a house dance." Senti
ment on the Nebraska campus is
considered favorable for Varsity
Parties after their success last
year.
Publicity workers on the Fall
Frolic plan to give away fifty
tickets In an unusual manner some
time during the next week. Out
door advertising will make its ap
pearance on the campus on Tues
day. Cards will be showered over
the stadium at the Montana-Nebraska
game.
Swimming And Gym Will
Be on Numeral System
The numeral system has been ex
tended to Include swimming and
gymnastic work, according to Ru
dolph Voegler, who heads that
work. A uniform set of tests will
be used as a standard for - the
awards, which will be emblems in
the form of numerals.

Presidential Form of

LARGE CROWD EXPECTED
University of Nebraska debators
will meet a team from Sidney, Aus
tralia, here. In the coliseum Nov.
27. The question for debate will
be: Resolved, That the English
Parliamentary Form of Govern
ment Is Preferable to the United
States Presidential System. The
Australian team will take the affir
mative, making the two countries
represented uphold their own form
of government.
Each team will have three mem
bers and one alternate. The ar

Prof. T. F. Thompson of Ohio State
university. The Australian team's
xtaly other- dbU- in hls region 4s
at Hastings on November 26. The
team will In all take part In thirty
one debates In the United States
starting about the middle of Octo
ber and finishing November 5.
Held At Coliseum
This year the debate Is to be held
In the coliseum. A crowd of 1,000
people Is expected. Arrangements
for the Installation of amplifiers
will be made If necessary.
Because the high schools of Ne
braska are to hold debates on prac
tically the same question. It is ex
pected that a large number of the
high school students will attend the
one given here In November.
A debate team from Oxford this
year will not go west of the Missis
sippi river, and another, composed
of -girls, will probably debate in
girl6' schools only. Next year a
Cambridge team will come west of
the Mississippi and take part In an
other series of debates.
Tryouts for the University of Ne
braska debate team were an
nounced by Dr. White at the meet
ing held last night in University
hall. The students aspiring to make
the team will make out their own
argument on the question and try
out In about three weeks. Only
twp days will be allowed for them
to prepare the negative or affirma
tive side, the rest of the time being
devoted to careful study of the en
tire question.
No teams will be formed before
the tryouts, and each man will de
bate Independent of the rest. When
the team is chosen four weeks will
be needed to arrange and perfect
the arguments.

Invitation Is Extended to
All Students to Attend
Services Sunday
TRADITION IS STARTED
rosters inviting all students to
attend their church on University
Sunday, October 7, were sent to
the sorority and fraternity houses
yesterday, and were posted in the
various buildings on the campus.
Through these posters, Chancellor
E. A. Burnett Issued an invitation
to all students to attend their pre
ferred church next Sunday. The
Chancellor also expresed his ap
proval of this tradition which has
been established at the University
of Nebraska.
Each year, one Sunday Is set
aside as University Church Day so
that the different churches in the
city may have special services for
the studenvs. This year some
churches are to have an early
morning breakfast so that the stu
dents will have a chance to get
better acquainted with each other
and the different departments of
the church.
All the churches are planning to
make October 7 a Sunday that will
lone be remembered by the stu
dents. Because of the early date
of University Church Day this
year, a special affiliation day will
be held later by each church, and
next Sunday will be more of a day
to "get acquainted" with the
churches than to Unite with them.
The University of Nebraska is
cooperating in every respect with
the various churches to make the
tradition of Church Day stronger
than ever before.

proverbial saying and it was Na

"Boys will be men." However, he
