Highly.
Phi
Chancellor Avery was Introduced by
Prot Grumann and after- presenting
the Hainer scholarship cup to the Phi
Kappa Pel fraternity immediately took
up tho European situation. He spoke
of the new burdens being created by
the great conflict and then proceeded
to draw several lessons from this war
fare. First lie told of the value of good
will as an asset not only to the indi
vidual but also to a country. Speak
ing of the relation of our country to
tho other powers, he said, "Probably
nothing has done more to secure and
retain for us the good-will of the na
tions than the fact that our govern
ment has always been free from secret
treaties, hidden alliances and clandes
tine diplomatic negotiations of all
kinds. Because American diplomacy
has been generally frank and open, we
have nothing to arouse the suspicions
of foreign lands and little to stimu
late their animosity.
Good Will as Local Asset
"If good will is shown to be a great
national asset; it should take no ar
gument to prove that it Is a great local
and elate and university asset Strife
as distinguished from friendly con
tests between sections of a village or
a city, between rival towns, between
the capftal and tho metropolis, be
tween classo and students in the uni
versity, between 'frat' and 'barb' is
indescribably foolish. I think that the

points on tho campus for the purpose
of getlng the proper addresse and
phone numbers of the students.
"The publication goes to press Mon
day," said Charlesworth, "and if any
student did not register his address
properly during registration week or
neglected to register his location or
phone because of not knowing his ex
act place of abode for the future, he
will be given an opportunity upon
either of these two days to rectify the
address and phone given the regis
trar." Fraternity, sorority and members of
'others organizations haye the privi

operation of the student body can such
an ambition be realized."

KICK OFF FOR GAME THROUGH
UNIVERSITY CAREER.
BAND TO PLAY GOOD MUSIC
Big Speakers on the List and Not a
Freshman is Expected to be
Seen Outside of Memorial
Hall.
Last night while some of the world
was asleep the Innocents planned one
of the biggest events ever scheduled
for the incoming Nebraska freshmen.
The event is freshmen initiation to be
held in .Memorial Hall on tomorrow
morning at 11 o'clock. This active or
ganization is more, than anxious to
make this the rousing feature of the
school year because no little comment
has floated over the campus in regard
to the exceptionally fine lot of young
fellowstha University haa been so
fortunate in adding to its ranks during
the past registration.
The University Cadet Band will
thrill the young fellows with that
spirit which every loyal CornhusTcer
can- not help but acquire when he
stands in thep resence of fellow stu
dents and listens to those good old
strains of the band. Immediately after
the band has played the Introductory
pieces of "pep" inspiring music all of
the fellows will find their way into the
convocation hall and stand if neces
sary rather than leave a stone un
turned in the success of this one big
event which means, who knows how
much, to the incoming and future big
"men of the University of Nebraska.
Fred M. Hunter, the man we all
will not take the new man long to fc
come acquainted with, will make the
introductory speech and then the
thing is on. Would you, could you
miss this, you, Mr. Freshman? Guy

CHORUS REGISTRATION
STILL REMAINS OPEN
Men Finding Aftenoon Hour Incon
venient May Takevenlng Work
Seven to Eight Q'Clock.
Registration for University Chorus,
M., W., F., 5 p. m., is still open.
One hour credit each semester is
given for the work. All men who find
the 5 o'clock hour inconvenient or
impossible may substitute M., 7-8
p. m., for Monday and Wednesday at
5. A large chorus is especially de
sired- an account of the May Festival.
Last May tho chorus won considerable
-praise from the Minneapolis Orches
tra for the quality of Its work. This
year the Damrosch Orchestra has
been engaged and the Nebraskans are
anxious to show the New Yorkers
that their western University actively
supports broad cultural interests.
The program of work outlined for
this year will be ready for publication
in the near future.
"One of the' great advantages of
-chorus work," says Mrs. Raymond,
"is that It enables the student to be
come intimately acquainted with- the
great works of musical "art No stu
dent interested in music should miss
such- an opportKHRy., - : i
Halligan, Football Captain, Has An
nounced Himself Harley May
Speak Soon.
Considering the nearness of elec
tion, there has been little interest
shown as to the candidates for the
office of president in the various
classes for the ensuing semester.
Most of the men who last year hinted
that they would come out have been
laying low. Now is usually the time
for all candidates to begin elec
tioneering. "Vic" Halligan, of foot
ball fame, has announced himself as
a candidate for senior president.
-"Bob" Harley is considering coming
out for the same office. The fresh
men and juniors have nobody lined up
as yet. Frank Hixenbaugh, a member
of the Dejta Chi fraternity, has an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for sophomore president.- Last year
Frank was prominent in all school
affairs.
Ohio Freshman Caps.
"All freshmen must wear capSjifls
year," says Edmund N. Yantes, chair
man of the student council cap. com
mittee at Ohio State University. iA.
vigilance committee of 'sophomores is
to be appointed by the student council
to see that the caps are worn at all
times. The Oberlin Review.
CONVOCATION FOR
FRESHMEN GIRLS
In the Temple at Eleven Prominent
Classmen Will Speak Chan
cellor Listed for Talk.
Thursday morning at the Temple a
special convocation will be held for
freshman girls. The girls of the
senior society, Black Masque, will
have charge of this convocation, and
a sp'endid program has been pre
pared. Miss Graham, the dean of
women, will talk on subjects of espe
cial Interest to freshmen girls, and
Chancellor Avery will give a brief

Y. W. C. A.," and Mable Sterne,
"Football." The president of the
Black Masque, Freda Stuff, will pre
side. All freshmen girls are urged to
come out to this convocation.
To Get Value Out of Books.
This is an age when the tendency to
bolt and not digest our material as
well s intellectual food is very preva
lent. Personally it has taken me many
years to learn the lesson that merely
to read good books and put them aside
may almost be regarded as a waste of
time. A book worth reading at all
should be made part of yourself, and
that is the value of owning it Win

HALLIGAN, RUTHERFORD POSE
Temporary Line-up Plays Before the
Clicking Machine- Even the
Tackling Dummy Played
a Part,
(By H. I. Kyle.)
At 3 o'clock yesterday H. S. Cheno
weth appeared on the gridiron with
his motion picture camera. Forthwith
the sixty and over, prospective, "N'b"
were guided through various wierd
and apparently meaningless operations
and tactics by 'the coaches while the
camera clicked. Five full teams were
mobilized and sent scurrying through
signal practice before the searching
eye of the "jit show" maker. Punts
were kicked and returned, passe were
made and returned, the ball was fallen
upon countless of times, the tackling
dummy was jerked from his moorings
till his foolihs head swam, and lastly
the twin terrors, Halligan and Ruther-
kford, were photographed in a peppery
little dialogue stunt. Altogether the
picture man wound up about two hun
dred and fifty feet of film, which will
be sent to various picture shows over
the state.
Coach Stiehm lined up a 'tentative
'varsity eleven, which he put through
a snappy signal practice before the
camera. The line-up was as follows:
Center Cameron.
Guards Shields and Abbott.
Tackles Corey and 'Norris.
Ends Capt Halligan and Balis.
Quater-back Howard.
Half-backs Rutherford and Wilson.
Full-back Chamberlain.
Of course it is much too early to
pick the team but this line-up gives
some idea of the possibilities.
CAMPAIGN STILL ON
F0RAN0THER OAY
The Club Offer of Nebraskan and
Awgwan Takes Well Results
Encouraging.
The promising list of features which
Awgwan offers for the year, and the
reduction of the subscription for two
semesters from a dollar and a quarter
to one dollar have caused a rush of
subscriptions to pour into the office.
Theb usiness manager is enthusiastic
and says:
"Our subscription campaign is com
ing along better than ever before. It
is possible, however, to put out a mag
azine of this character at such a con
servative price only when a large per
centage of students are subscribers.
"Awgwan hopes to accurately voice
the sentiment of the Cornhusker. We
invite the frank comment and criti
cism of every student Wo want every
student of literary aspirations to sub
mit his serious or humorous contribu
tions, cartoons, to the editorial staff."
There is one more day of the sub
scription campaign and the manage
ment looks forward to an even bigger
business today.
No man can hold off from, affairs
and count himself a faithful citizen of
the Republic. Woodrow Wilson. -
