OVER HUNDRED YEARS OLD Many City people as Well as Students in Attendance Study of the Third Symphony Held Tomorrow. A large crowd of people, both stu dents and townspeople, attended the second symphony concert at convo cation yesterday. Everyone paid the best of attention and seemed to ap preciate the music very much. This composition was produced by Beethoven in 1802, at the age of thirty , two and at the time when he was growing deaf and was, on that ac count, subject to periods of deepest depression. His genius, however, raised him above the level of mere personal feeling andhe gave us a production of wonderful brilliancy. The prelude opens with a -note which seems to call or a "sacred silence," after which follows a short peaceful strain. This is repeated in a little dif ferent dress, then comes a longer, dreamy strain ending finally in a swift rush. The allegro con Brio, the second part of the symphony, is of a short, sturdy motive as if the -musician had awak ened from the sleepy mood of the pre lude. The Larghetto is one of Beethoven's best known productions and very much resembles a folksong. One pas sage introduces a kind of dialogus be tween two voices, one of anxious In quiry, the other of stern response, which proves very effective. A certain freedom and playfulness Is found in the Scherzo which changes often from loud to soft, and is full of thort shifty phrases. The Molto allegro, the last part, is made up of several simple themes. All who attended this concert are re quested to remember that the prepara tory study for the third symphony will begin tomorrow, November 7, at 5 o'clock, in Art I Call. This gives suf ficient time for all to come even after ibe games. These meetings are stead ily increasing In attendance and the fact that the tame ones are always present proves that those who attend find th-era worth their while.

The Laws held a meeting last night 'o make the final arrangements for their big rah-rah demonstration at the Kansas game a week from tomorrow.

MORE SPIKES GET USUAL INITIATION According to Orders Bacchus Was Absent Must Have Been a Dry Affair. A certain frat house not so very far removed from the campus was the scene of one of those terrible and thrilling Spikes initiations last night Two stiffs were supplied by a well I known fraternity. The clinic was very instructive to the members taken in earlier in the year. A certain request (?) made by the executive Dean a few days ago in joint session was rigidly complied with. J3acchus was kicked out bodily. MERCHANTS GIVE INTERESTING TALKS Subject Dealt With the English Egypt Other Lectures Planned for Later. in The University Commercial Club members were favored last night with an impressive talk by J. E. Miller of the 'local firm of Miller & Paine on the subject of "The English in Egypt" The talk dealt with the influence Eng land has had in the country of the Nile for many years. Mr. Miller is of the opinion that England will remain in Egypt indefinitely, or at least until the people there are trained and edu cated to look after themselves. He likens the situation unto that of the United States and the Philippines. In speaking of the people, Mr. Miller remarked that after he had seen the mummies in the tombs and then saw the people outside he knew that they were without question of the very same race that inhabited the country cen turies ago. Their methods of cultiva tion as well as many other of their in dustries are not much advanced over the stage of the earlier people. In referring to the recent election, the speaker remarked that although only half of the male voters of Omaha exercise the privilege of franchise, the voters in Egypt exercise the privilege only In the ratio of one In a hundred. This was the first of a series of lectures the club is planning on for this school year. The other numbers will be on such topics as salesman shtp. advertising, and other business subjects. President Taylor of the club announced that due notice or the future talks would be made in the Nebraskan. iii si ramus THE VOTE IS DECISIVELY ON THE ONE SIDE. ACTIVE WORK BEGINS SOON Returns Have Been Definitely An nounced But Results to the Present Speak For the Final Report. The University of Nebraska "Tff stay on its present campus and that campus will be enlarged, as a result of Tuesday's election. This is .the very probable answer, to the question which for better or for worse, has been the subject of so much argument pro and con. But that we shall have a bigger and a better University of Ne braska is certain. Returns have been received from twenty-five counties on the question or removal: 18,253 votes were cast against and 8,845 for it The counties from which returns have been received are average counties, and predict con clusively the general run of the re turns.. Two thousand, nine hundred seventy six votes for and 1,149 votes against were returned from nineteen counties, twenty-four precincts upon the ques tion of campus extension. Figuring that the votes cast on campus exten sion average about ninety per cent of the vote on governor which is itself some: ninety per cent of the total vote the percentage of votes on cam pus extension will be about 145,000, or about eighty-one per cent of the total vote. Now that the question is answered definitely, various phases of University life will be affected. The fraternities which have postponed the building of new houses thinking that the Univer sity might go to the farm, will now have nothing to hinder them In erct- ing new homes. GIRLS STILL FAIL TO SECURE TICKETS Latest Report States That Only Eighteen Have Purchased Plunge Open When Fifty Are Sold. ThoBe in charge of the girl's gym nasium department are responsible for the following statement: "Are you aware that of the seventy seven girls who reuqested that a class be organized in swimming, only eigh teen have actually purchased tickets? Do you understand that fifty tickets must be sold before the plunge is opened? By delaying your purchase you are postponing the swimming sea son and discommoding the entire num. ber who wish to swim. You cannot buy your tickets at the plunge, as has been the custom. You must buy them at the office of the Director of the Women's Gymnasium. Buy them now." Y. W. C. A. Reception. The University Y. W.

Stahl and I. M. Kerlin. A lecture on "Indirect Illumination" was delivered by Mr. Stahl of the Korsmeyer Company, and was well illustrated by more than fifty slides showing photometric curves and actual installations. Thii, lecture was of great interest to the students as it brought out tne various phases of in direct illumination. The second lecture of the evening was delivered by I. M. Kerlin of the i Electrical Department on "Electrical (Sign) Advertising." In this lecture the various types of signs were de- scribed and shown by colored sketches. ..

SHROUD 0 ST EOT STIEHM STRETCHES HIS WIRES TO TRIP THE JAYHAWK HAWKINS IMPROVES MUCH Trainload of. Morningside Rooters Will Accompany Their Team to Lin coln to See the Comhusk ers Crushed. By H. I. Kyle That Coach Stiehm is hatching up something unique and clever in the way of plays to spring on the unsus pecting Jayhawks is indicated by the fact that he is drilling the squad se cretly for an hour or two each even ing this week. Yesterday outsiders were barred from the field until five o'clock wltile the "Mysterious Mentor" tutored his brawny crew on how to trap the Jayhawk bird. At 5:01 p. m. the ponderous gates swung back on their rusty hinges and the impatient rooters were invited to enter and witness the scrambling of the freshmen. However, it so tran spired that the scrambling was not consummated with tbe airy, non chalant eclat that most of us expected. The fact is, there were so many bad eggs among the frosh that the varsity rather made a mess of their task. It might be mentioned that the freshmen had also provided a pretty good Cook for the occasion, who, with the aid of several worthy assistants, did consid erable mixing on the other side. Ruth erford, Balis and Norris were kept on the side-lines, it being thought inad visable to risk them in , scrimmage until their injuries were more nearly healed. Hawkins was at quarter, and continued to show improvement in running the team. He will, doubtless, hold down that position in the game tomorrow, since Potter's leg has failed to mend sufficiently for him to play. A special train will be run to accom modate the large number of Morning side rooters who will come to Lincoln to witness the "crushing of the Corn huskers." All jokes to the discard, the "Maroons" are apt to upset the dope of those fans who predict a ponderous score by Nebraska. Last Saturday the Morningsiders smoth ered Simpson College by the lopsided store of 33 to 3; also it must be re membered that Nebraska has made no special preparation for the game to morrow, all her energies being pointed toward the Kansas game. FRESHMEN RECEIVE THEIR UNIFORMS ComDanie, Recelve Suits Last . . .... Night Uniforms Have a Little " Red Trimming This Year.

Companies three and four were fitted la:, night and companies five and six will probably receive their uniforms tonight Lieutenant Parker states that the suits are fitting exceptionally well. He says that the test drilled men will be asigned to the regular companies with in a week, and tbe rest as they seem fit It is hoped that these new suits in their gay trim of red braid may inject a spirit of "pep" In some Freshmen who have so far despised drill and create In them the spirit of militarism.
