HUSKER HISTORIES.
By Bob Stiefler.
How many of tho thousands of hard working Cornhuskers
who boast membership in the student body of the University
of Nebraska know anything about what their numerous and
sundry predecessors did in maintaining the school through past
decades! A peek at yellow, dust
braskan reveals many startling and;
often humorous discoveries. For
example, did you know that.

THANKSGIVING MESSAGE
Thanksgiving is a day old in tradition. Instituted by (Jov
ernor Bradford of the Massachusetts colony, it was a call to
the Pilgrims to give thanks for the blessings which had come
to them. Of worldly possessions they had few, but of faith in
God and in an overruling providence they were assured.
Through the years wo have enjoyed the fruits of their
labors. We have political liberty bought by their sacrifices.
Wealth which may not be ours to possess is ours to enjoy. Our
country is rich in natural resources which contribute to the
general welfare. Machinery and inventions have contributed to
the enrichment of our lives. Our opportunity for education has
not before been equalled. We have friends whom we enjoy, a
family circle dear to us. We face the future with courage and
optimism as ou every hand we see youth succeed through stren
uous endeavor.
This is a day for re-dedication of ideals. May we thank
God for the abundance of opportunity He has given to each of
us and for the privilege to serve our generation even as the
Pilgrim fathers served in their generation.
E. A. BURNETT, Chancellor.
A WORD BY THE WAY
Students of the. University:
ThanksgivingDay, Christmas Day, and Easter Day have al
ways seemed to me to stand out as 'family days." To me they
have been significant days because the high tides of my home
life have been associated with them. Our thoughts on these days,
I believe, turn more naturally to home ties, to humankind, and
to things of a finer spiritual nature.
It is my wish that every student may have an opportunity
to join his home family circle for Thanksgiving Day. May each
of you make your brothers and sisters happier because you are
home. Get better acquainted with Dad and make a fuss over
Mother, is the best advice 1 can give you.

Bizad College Gets

Iioard,s Recognition
Recognition of the Bizad col
lege has been received from the
New York department of educa
tion in accrediting graduates of
the school an advantage in secur
ing the degree of certified public
accountant.
Under the New York law. an
applicant for the C. P. A. degree
must have had three years expe
rience in public accounting work
before he is allowed to take the
examination for the degree. Now
graduates of the Bizad college who
have completed a major in ac
counting will need only one year's
experience in public accounting
work, making a saving of two
years' time for Nebraskans in ob
taining the degree.
This acceptance of credit from
the Bizad college ranks the school
along with the colleges of busi
ness administration of the lead
ing universities thruout the coun
try. The New York state depart
ment of education is recognized as
authority in granting the degree
of certified public accountant be

SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS
Relief Bureau Worker Shows
Results of Work in West
Lincoln.
I Kenneth Woods of the Lancaster
County Relief Bureau was the
guest speaker at the regular
monthty luncheon held by majors
in sociology at the Grand hotel
Tuesday noon. The subject of his
address was "An Experiment in
Community Organization.
Mr.' Woods has worked out an
interesting leisure time program in
west Lincoln, based on his expe
riences as relief worker there. His
purpose was to make an organiza
tion that would take care of the
children and adults during their
leisure time. When he first went
there, he found the people so de
graded, because of unemploymnt
and environment, that they were
going so far as to look for and
eat food out of the city dump.
Playgrounds, gathering places
for the young boys and girls,
handicraft classes, and groups for
all those showing talent in any
field were organized. Those who
showed exceptional talent in a
special field or work were made
leaders of the groups, asserted
Mr. Woods.
The result of his work has been
a firmer unity in the home and a
better home life in general. Mr.
Woods has attracted unusual at
tention among local social workers-
since he has utilized so fully
the resources within the commu
nity and since it appears that the
program is chiefly responsible lor
the reduction of some major so
cial problems within the coromu
nity. About thirty-five students at
tended the luncheon. Miss Hattie
Plum Williams, professor of sociol
ogy, introduced the speaker.
ROME DISCUSSED AT
CLASSICS CLUB MEET
Eleanor Nelson discussed Roman
comedy, and Gertrude Leavitt ex
plained the Roman magistracy at
the meeting of the Classics club
Tuesday evening in Morrill hall.
The program continued the
club's policy by having students
participate in the meetings by con
tributing talks on subjects in
which the group is interested.
600 JAM TEMPLE
THEATER 10 HEAR
JAMES STEPHENS
Irish Bard Explains Poetry
At Second Convocation
Tuesday Morning.
RECITES COMPOSITIONS
Illustrates Problem and
Construction Behind
Verse Works.
A crowd of 600 jammed the
doors of the Temple theater Tues
day morning for the second uni
versity convocation when James
Stephens, Irish poet and scholar,
read several of his poems to il
lustrate the problem and construc
tion back of poetry.
"Poetry," the author explained,
"is as diftfrent rom prose as prose
is different from painting." He
went on to explain that in prose
we must always be careful what
we say but in poetry there is no
necessity for such precision. He
admitted that by poetry he prob
ably meant "the kind of stuff I
write." Pros is comparitively
simple, but tne poetic effort is a
singularly complex one.
James Stephens said that every
cow he had ever met was a per
fect lady. This prefaced the read
ing of one of his own poems on
Christmas in which he explained
his attempt to write a poem which
would include every object which
has ever been put on a Christmas
card. The poem told of a certain
"Daisy" who was a perfect lady,
but a cow, not a woman as the
audience might be led to believe.
The poet declared that poetry is
not glorified prose despite the
teachings most people absorb in
school. He illustrated his meaning
by reading some of his poems in
which the rythm of the style was
more important than the actual
wording.
"If you met a person who wrote
a sentence without a verb and
with more than one adjective
modifying a noun, he is not the
kind of person you would bring
home to the family," Stephens
said, "but I have written a poem
composed only of one noun with
thirteen adjectives modifying it."
He went on to read his poem on
water, in which he felt that he
had described all the waters of the
earth.
Dr. Harry Kurz of the Romance
language department introduced
the speaker. Dr. Louise Pound and
Dr. J. O. Hertzler were on the
stage with them.

END VARSITY CAREERS
ywho felt like swimming were Lon
Stiner's Beavers.
Water Everywhere.
With the field cover across the
playing field completely covered
with water and a contribution
from Jupiter Pluvius continuing
relentlessly, the only places re
maining to do any practicing were
the inside stadium track and the
practice field at the south end of
the stadium.
After a long overland trip
across the Rockies, the Oregon
Staters were all set for a lengthv
workout to get rid of the traveling
kinks in their muscles, and so they
devoted most of the afternoon to
doing things under the east sta
dium. The drill was conducted be
hind closed doors, and Lon Stiner
evidently intends to make Coach
Bible's Huskers hustle Thursday,
for prying eyes were jealously ex
cluded. Huskers Rest.
Since the practice field was
knee-deep in water, the Cornhusk
ers decided in favor of a vacation,
planning to take a light warming
up drill Wednesday to conclude
their preparations for the season's
finale.
But either Oregon State is a
very watery place, or the Beavers
were named literally. For after a
session on Pa Schulte's insida
track, a good-sized group of Stin
er's lads trooped out under a
steady downpour and started
splashing across the practice field,
which had turned into nothing
short of a lake. They didn't seem
to mind the water, however, and
skipped and slid across the field
as completely at home as a group
of duck shooters. If toughness
means anything, Nebarska will
have a mighty difficult battle on
her hands before she can draw the
1935 curtains Thursday afternoon.
Ten End Careers.
Thursday's battle will mean
"Lights Out!" for the careers of
ten Nebraska football artists. The
