Athletic Managers Are Cinder ell as
Of Football; Receive Little Credit
Nebraska has a wrong concep
tion of the athletic department. It
is assumed by most people that
the people of the athletic depart
ment have a rather soft life to lead,
but this is far from true. Two
groups that do not receive even
part of the credit that is due them
are the managers (of sports), and
the men that are almost, but not
quite good euough to get into the
athletic contests.
Footbtll managers especially do
not receive the credit that reany
is comine to them- Night after
night they are combination nurse
maids, janitors, and common iaoor-
ers, but to what avail ? Some one
aspiring sophomore manager will
ultimately be made the senior man
ager, but the chances for failure
are far greater than those of suc
cess.
Get Training as Valets.
The sophomore managers are as
signed to one particular Job to at
tend to, and It is necessary that
he do this Job efficiently, quickly,
and cheerfully. It must get very
monotonous to have to listen to
the wants of every football man,
ftx,m the captain of the varsity
down to the lowest of freshmen,
but It is absolutely necessary that

all of the men be properly cared
for.
One man who finally ends up as
senior manager gains more recog
nition, but he has certainly earned
it. The senior manager is usually
taken on the football trips, but on
the trips he is the servant of the
team. At the end of the year, the
senior manager is awarded a man
ager's letter.
John (Jug) Brown is the senior
manager for this year, and a right
good one he has been, too. One of
the duties of the senior manager
is to see that the Junior and sopho
more managers are kept busy. This
sounds like an easy Job, but it is
usually possible to find some of
the combination caretakers and
students busy tossing a football
around.
Two Compete for Letter.
Bill Bitters and Bob Dobson
were the Junior managers In foot
ball this year, and one of these
two men will be chosen to be
senior manager next year. The
basis for comparison between the
two will be, first, ability In the
handling of the post, and second,
scholarship.

Dancing School
A dancing class for small child
ren has been organised by the de
partment of physical education at
tho dance studio in the women's
gymnasium. "The purpose is not
to teach the child to be a per
former, but to stimulate creative
ability and dramatice expression
by means of dancing as a fine art,"
according to Beatrice Richardson,
instructor.
The classes are held every Sat
urday afternoon, one for children
from three to six years of age, and
the other for those ranging from
six to nine. A class teaching
games is held at the same time for
the little brothers and sisters who
cannot enroll in dancing because of
the limited number of the class, or
because of the age limit. The danc
ing classes include sixteen young
members each.
Teach No Steps.
No steps are taught, but the
child is encouraged to respond to
whatever rhythm appeals to him In
the music, according to Miss Rich
ardson. The aim is to help the
child develop a rhythmic response
to music in keeping with the body
development for a normal child of
those years. .
Children are educated to read

SIGMA XI MEETS AT
NEBRASKA WESLEYAN
Scientific Fraternity Hears
Talk by Dr. Jensen on
Radio Growth.
Sigma Xi, national honorary sci
entific fraternity, held a meeting
at Nebraska Wesleyan university
Monday evening, Dec. 16. J. C.
Jensen, professor of physics at Ne
braska Wesleyan, discussed recent
scientific developments In radio
transmission and receiving. He
reviewed data from late experi
ments in Lincoln and elsewhere
which indicated a close relation
ship between the broadcasting of
radio waves and diametric pres
sure which varies with weather
conditions.
Following this address the fifty
guests were shown through the
transmitting station of Nebraska
Wesleyan (WCAJ) and the ma
chinery and principles governing
the work were explained to them.

good literature and to appreciate
good music, continued Miss Rich
ardson, so they should be taught to
seek the finest expression in danc
ing as a fine art. At the same
time a child learns to respond to
miislc, he also learns to control his
body movements. In as much as
the body is an instrument at the
command of every person, it is lo
gical that a well trained body
should serve as a means of expres
sion to anyone in a creative way.
Parents Evince Interest.
A new interest is evinced by
parents aa they realize that young
children have a good deal of dra
matic feeling, and that creative
education is more Important than
technical in helping an Individual
to adjust himself to and enjoy liv
ing. Rhythmic work for children was
begun here in the nursery school at
the college of agriculture. The de
mand for the permanent establish
ment of such a class was so great
that one has finally been instituted
on the campus thtis year. Miss
Richardson and Helen Morehead,
assitant, teach the classes and
plan the work. The public may at
tend by special permission from
the Instructors.
