Governor Aldrlch to Preside and Band
Will Furnish Music in Intermission,
In its first, last and only effort of the
year, Nebraska meets a formidable
foo this evening In a debate with
three forensic artists from the Univer
sity of Iowa.
The question which the Nebraska
irien have been working on ever since
the opening of college is "Resolved,
That the United States should adopt
a policy of Shipping Subsidies." From
the standpoint of the local team the
issues in this question have been run
to the ground, and the crowd of loyal
Nobraskans who have already pur
chased their seats have in store for
them a discussion that will not only
bo interesting, but enlightening.
Nebraska Well Represented.
Nebraska will have to represent
them tonight, three men who merit
the high position which they have
been found capablo of holding. Jo
seph Qoldstoin, Law '13, of Dawson,
who opens the argument for Nebras
ka, is a graduate of Peru Normal and
prior to his graduation won several
honors in public speaking.
Ralph W. Garrett, '13, is a graduate
of Madison High. While in the Uni
versity ho has maintained an average
of "excollont" and has been promi
nent in debating circles. This is his
second year on the squad.
A. R. Raymond, Law '13, is the
leader of the Nebraska team and will
close its case. He has won scholar
ship honors at the University, and
was member of the victorious debating
team against Illinois last year.
Iowa Never Defeated.
Iowa has a strong team this year,
composed of men who have already
obtained one degree. .
' Iowa has never been defeated in Its
debates in the Central League, so will
present its best this evening against
the Cornhuskers.
The debate will be hold in the Tem
ple. Governor Aldrich will preside
and the band will play. Tickets are
thirty-five andJUfcy cents and reserva
tions can bo had at either the City

INFORMAL AFTER DEBATE
You will miss more than a debate if you do not come out tonight,
for after the big fight in which Nebraska proves that "ships should
subside' there will be a big informal for all those possessing debate
tickets.
Realizing that several parties and dances have been postponed
for this occasion, the management of the debate have arranged for
an informal dance after the debate is finished, so that you can enjoy
both festivities. If you get the "figlts" at the prospect of sitting
through a long debate; just remember you can give full vent to your
feelings In the big blow afterwards. If you are a football man, you
ought especially to return the loyalty shown you throughout the
whole season by coming out and supporting the Scarlet and Cream in
other fields.
Oh, yes, if you don't come tonight you certainly will lose out, for
you will see a real live debate, you can watch Nebraska clean Iowa,
and finally, you can have a high time after the debate Is over what
more could you ask for your money?

SUCCESSFUL EVENING MEETINGS
OF LAST YEAR WILL BE CON
TINUED ON HIGH PLANE.
The first veBper service oftho year
will be held In Memorial Hall this
evening at 5 o'clock. These meetings
were instituted last year with great
success and it is hoped that they will
meet with oven more favor this win
ter. The services will be of the highest
quality and no effort will be Bpared
.in offering tothe student bodypro-
grams which will be at once enjoyable
and educational. The management
will cater to quality of production"
rather than quantity of attendance,
and thosfr who come will flnd.it wolLi
worth their while. "There are certain
elements In a university education
which cannot bo obtained by poring
oysr books," and those who "are seek
ing after a development cannot afford
to miss these services, which are
given each Friday evening in Me
morial Hall. The music will be led by
the Chorus, a string orchestra and the
pipe organ.
Illfle shooting in the new range -under
the Mechanical Engineering build
ing began Thursday evening, when
Company A freshmen received their
first instruction. From now on the
companies will shoot In alphabetical
order, each having possession of the
range for one week.
The new indoor range Ib a great Im
provement over the old one. It has
eleven targets and has excellent facili
ties for quickly changing them and
announcing the results after the squad
has fired.
The rifles to bo used are exactly the
same as the Sprlngflolds now used
except that they are arranged to shoot
a 22-calibor cartridge. These were
used last year, but only poor target
facilities were available and the re
sults obtained were not as good as
can bo expected with the new equip
ment. Before actual shooting begins, the
different positions will be taught and
drill in the operations of shooting will
bo given.
All is being done In preparation for
the rifle compet which is held In April.
With the new equipment it is
thought that a winning team can be
picked to enter the contest held by
