Four faculty men

Members of the university
Y. M. C. A. faculty advisory board
made short, informal talks last
night following the annual "Y"
membership supper held in
lemple, discussing what they con
sidered important functions of the
organization. Dr. W. R. Bailer of
the teachers college, chairman of
the board served, presided.
Prof. C. H. Patterson of the
philosophy department stated that
one aim of the organization should
be that of keeping ever distinct
the line between Christian ways
and un-Christlan practices, adding
that in his opinion the "Y" was
accomplishing this aim to a fairly
successful degree.
Dr. B. C. Hendricks, chemistry
department, told the forty new
and old members present at the
gathering that two Important fea
tures of the "Y" functioning were
the encouragement of a non -sectarian
attitude and of a broad out
look on life.
Prof. C. E. Rosenquist, adviser
for the ag rampua "Y," pointed
out that the organization should
be, and is, a pioneer, stating that
the ag campus group furnished
the material now being used by
the college in its orientation and
epeaking courses.
Prof. L. A. Bingham, electrical
engineering, declared that another
leading service performed by the
association is that of providing
clean fellowship. During the In
formal discussion the group
Luther was back in his old half
back post after favoring a bad
ankle most of the week.
The Sooners are aiming at Ne

which has been weak all year.
However, they realize Nebraska
has been beaten but once and tied

This, day of days, is one of
great importance. As you may
have noticed, we've devoted a lit
tle space to the fact that tomor
row seven Husker seniors will be
playing their last game for the
Huskers.
Well, today yours truly is, for
the last time in her career, pick
ing the outcome of a Husker
game. For next year is i'J40, anu
by that time the cold, cold world
will have gotten us either tnrougn
graduation or fatigue.
So we're promising sometmng
extra special this time. Last Fri
day night we had a dream. It was
that Nebraska beat Pittsburgh 21-
13. It was pretty close at that,
so perhaps if you're laying bets
you'd better wait and ask us sat
urday morning.
Our dream the night before the
Minnesota game was that the
Huskers would beat the Gophers
but lose to Missouri. Those are
the only two prognosticating
dreams we've had, but they come
out to pretty near a 1.000 per
centage.
But to the business at hand.
Nebraska has a tough game
ahead, but they know it, having
pointed for the Sooners since the
season was young. Nebraska has
a weak pass defene, but they and
everyone else know it. Oklahoma
can be beaten, as Missouri proved
in the mud Saturday, when the
Tigers, who depended on passing,
were naturally the team the mud
would hamper most.
Of course, the Sooners don't
want to lose. But we're picking
