Student Charge Is Hotly
Challenged by Gish
And Thompson
'UNFOUNDED' SAYS DEAN
Working Students, Not Grid
Men, Are Only Favored
Ones by Committee
"The statement that football
players Kpt more consideration
than other students Is absolute!)
false and ungrounded," said Dean
T. J. Thompson, in answer to au
article which was writ ten by a stu
dent and which can be found in to
day's student-comment column on
pace 2, of The Daily Nrbraskan.
"The scholarship committee lias
always been more than just to tin
forking student, and to my knowl
edge, the football player never hab
b'cn glveu any more consideration
than the other student," continued
Mr. Thompson. "The story is un-lo-.tnded
and unjust, and I chal
lenge the writer to show even one
itu'tance where a football player
hiis been given any advantage that
the other student has not had.
"The policy of the University is
10 be lenient, especially with stu
dent? who have to work, but the
question of football ability, to my
knowledge, never has been con
sidered." Giih Speaks
Herbert D. Gish, athletic direc
tor, had the same opinion of t h e
article. "In no case has a football
player ever been allowed to remain
in school because he is a football
player," he said. "He is and should
be treated as any other student,
"It is absolutely false that foot
tall players have special privileges,
and the writer cannot prove such a
statement. Athletics should not get
any more consideration than any
thing else.
"It is the athlete, not the stu
dent, who has to obey strict rules
of scholarship. To take part in an;
university athletics, a man must tc
two years a resident. He must have
27 credits to participate and 12 of
these must bo . made in the last
femerter. Under no circumstances
may an athlete participate unless
he is up in 12 hours of school
work."
' And as to cutting class," con
cluded Mr. Gish, "football players
eo to their classes before all home
games. It is only when the game.
If out ol town that classes are
missed."

Winter Finds
Campus T' in
Midstof Work
The university Y. M. C. A. has
been doing very many services for
the students of the University of
Nebraska, according to C. D.
Hayes, general secretary of the
university Y. M. C. A. Many things
have been done and are going ou
now under the auspices of the "Y".
The fall season opened with the
second annual orientation camp for
a selected group of freshmen at
Camp Strader at Crete, the week
before registration began in the
university, with about twenty fresh
men in attendance. This group has
been the nucleus of the freshman
council which organized soon after
the opening of school. Two groups
of the freshman council have been
meeting weekly since the begin
ning of the year.
Sponsors Many Events.
The Y gave over two thousand
"N" books to the Incoming fresh
men, and about fifteen hundred
books have been sold by the Book
Exchange up to date.
As to social affairs the Y. M. C.
A. and the Y. W. C. A. jointly held
the annual Freshman party on Sat
urday, September 6, at Morrill hall.
A similar party was given at the
"Ag" campus. World Forum is an
other organization which the Y. M.
and the Y. W. have been sponsor
ing Jointly. World Forum has held
two series this fall, one on the
"Political Situation of the Late
Election," and another, which Is go
ing on now on "International Prob
lems." The Ag Forum has been
meeting regularly also on a series
of talks on various topics.
Plans Much More.
The fraternity discussion groups
are getting under way now and
will soon be having its regular
meetings. In spite of Its various
services to tht students, the Y was
not able to raise Its entire budget
of student contributions this year,
but approximately three fourths of
the total amount desired was con
tributed. The Y Is planning a great many
more events for the coming school
year, and thus It can easily be said
that the university Y has been far
from inactive this year.

BURNETT OFFERS $50
TO
'Obligations and Rewards of
Students' Is Topic for
Student Essays
BEST THREE GET MONEY
In order to encourage students
to a greater appreciation of the re
sponsibilities of a ctllege educa
tion, Chancellor E. A. Burnett is
offering fifty dollars In prizes to
the undergraduate students of the
University of Nebraska writing the
best one thousand word articles on
the subject "The Obligations and
Rewards of the College Student.
Three prizes will be given. The
first prize will be twenty-five dol
lars, the second prize will be fif
teen dollars, while the third prize
will be ten dollars.
The three prize-winning articles
will be printed in a pamphlet
which will be finished about a
month after the names of the win
ners are announced.
Deadline Is January 8
All students wishing to try for
the prizes must deposit their ar
ticles in the Chancellor's office,
room 101 in Administration hall,
on or before Tuesday evening,
January 8, 1929.
"The. offering of these pamphlets
is all a part of a campaign to in
sure greater sympathy between
faculty and the student body a
greater appreciation of each
other," said Professor R. P. Craw
ford, assistant chancellor of the
university.
The faculty will also write ar
ticles for this pamphlet. The sub
ject on which they will write Is
The Obligations and Rewards of
the College Professor."
A committee will be appointed
soon to read the articles and de
cide upon the winners.
3Fen Unlimber
Dress Clothes
As Ball Nears
A smell of old moth-balls has
spread over the campus as a grim
reminder that the Military Ball
happens Friday evening. Some
students have complained about
the size of the signs advertising the
Ball hut thev sre. Raid to he verv
aristocratic, and in good taste. In
cidentally the smaller size comes a
bit cheaper.
In all probability students will be
so excited by Thursday that they
will be unable to attend classes
successfully. The Military Ball is
an event in the life of every youth
ful collegian, there is no doubt. A
special date bureau may be set up
by cadet officers in order to bring
together co-eds and John Colleges
who are dateless for Friday eve
ning. In, the interests of Nebraska's
student body reporters from the
Nebraskan have tried to find out
by fair means or fowl, foul one
should say, who is the Honorary
Colonel and why.
Will Bs Great Affair
As yet all endeavors have proved
futile, and there seems to be
nothing to do but attend the Ball.
Tickets, incidentally, are being sold
by the handsome youthB in khaki
uniforms. It is not necessary to
state that they are officers, for no
body ever accused a freshman or
sophomore of looking handsome in
his uniform.
It has been announced that re
hearsals will be held soon for the
grand march. The purpose of this
practice is so that the officers will
not kick each other with spurs
when they get stage fright Friday
night. If the cadet officers don't
march any better in the grand
march than well, ask a freshman.
As for decorations, the vocabu
lary of a Nebraskan reporter, aug
mented by Mr. Webster's little 2620
pae dictionary cannot express the
scale upon which decorations will
be distributed.
Tickets must be turned In pretty
soon, according to authorities. Of
ficers are urged to write home for
mnnov to nav for the tickets they
are supposed to have sold. The
Military Ball, one mignt aaa. is noi
a Varsity Party, but It will be a
good dance Just the same.

Missouri scored 72 points to the 69

Kansas won but one conference
