CRITICIZING FLrNG'S ADDRESS.
INDEBTED TO" GERMAN IDEALS
Regents Believe That German Aca
demic Freedom Should be Per
mitted to Flourish in
America.
The Board of Regents at Its meet
ing Monday evening considered a com
munication from the German-American
Alliance of Lincoln and vicinity dated
October 18th. The delay in replying
to the communication was caused by
the fact that this was the first meet
ing of the Board since the communi
cation was received. A copy of the
communication and the reply of the
Regents follow:
To tho Regents of the University of
Nebraska:
At a meeting of the German-Ameri
can Alliance of Lincoln and vicinity,
held October 18, 1914, it was resolved
to address you as follows:
"Whatever the cause or causes, the
fact Is that upon the outbreak of the
present European war the great pre
ponderance of sentinrent among Anglo-
Americans was distinctly hostile to
Germany. It was in evidence in the
street, on the cars, in hotels restau
rants, clubs, everywhere where men
ineet. It found various modes of ex
pression, from the temperate language
of the gentleman, who was usually
ready to concede that there might be
two sides, to the malicious blatany of
the ignoramus.
"The Anglo-American press, too.
was hostile, the higher grade papers
using moderate language, others often
being offensive.
"There are many citizens among us
of German birth, more of German
parentage. To these the hostile atti
tude around them caused more or less
distress, but being mostly not of an
irritable temper they bore these
things with , what patience they had,
hoping that in time better information
would bring about an improvement of
conditions. In this hope they were not

WOMEN'S BUILDING
Thinks Men Are Too Bashful Moves
Collection of Pictures to 1236 O
Street.
X. Inagakl announces that he will
be in town Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday. He stated that the fellows at
Nebraska were too bashful and that
he thought that they were afraid to
enter the University Women's Build
ing. Accordingly he decided to move
to 1236 O street where the fellows
will have no objection.
Persons who have visited the collec
tion of Inagaki state that the prices
are very reasonable. A fine Christmas

small amount.

Senior Girl Urged to Come.
Special Invitations for the senior
girls' party have been sent to all
Senior girls in the University. How
ever, there are always some mistakes;
some names are not listed and some
are overlooked, livery Senior is sup
posed to have' an invitation, and she
is especially requested to -come
whether she receives a written invita
tion or not. The Black Masques want
every Senior girl there, and they want
them there to get acquainted with
each other. It is too bad that there
are girls in the Senior class who do
not yet know each other, but there is
still time to make up three years' loss
in one year. So remember, Saturday
afternoon, in the Temple, at three
o'clock! Every Senior girl!

A reporter on thel Daily Nebraskan

department. Several days ago one of
the young men In the rhetoric class
paid two dollars to have several
themes written which he happened
to be back in at that particular time
and necessity demanded that they be
in by a certain time. He felt f course
that he had struck a good bargain and
perhaps he had.
Diiferent rates are charged. One

shape again and will no doubt put up
a better exhibition of running at both

the logical candidates for the meet at

HARVARD WIRES REFUSAL TO
NEBRASKA'S CHALLENGE.
SUGGESTS A GAME FOR 1915
Secret Practice Is the Order of the
Day For Stiehm's Champions
Freshmen Are Successfully
Held.
By II. I. Kyle.
In answer to his telegram, asking
for a post season game with Harvard,
Coach Stiehm, yesterday received word
from the manager of athletics at the
big eastern school, to the effect that
Harvard would not play a post-season
game with' Nebraska, or any other
school, for that matter. However, the
telegram contained a suggestion that
a post-season game, to decide the
championship of the country, would
"be highly desirable, and could perhaps
be arranged for next year.
' The usual Wednesday practice game
between the varsity and the freshmen,
was held behind closed gates, much to
the disappointment of a large num
ber of fans who had come out to root
for their favorites. However the Fresh
men had poor success in using their
Hawkeye plays against the regulars,
their efforts being "nipped, untimely,
in the bud," as a rule. If the Hawk
eyes can't make any more headway
than the Freshmen did they will have
to fall back on freakish "crab" play
to furnish their score. The Cornhusk
ers will be on the alert for shady
plays, however, and the Iowans must
think up something really clever, if
they hops to get away with it.
The Huskers leave for the scene of
action at 4 o'clock this afternoon, via
the Rock Island, and it is to be hoped
that there will be a few fans, at least,
with spirit enough to accompany them
to the depot, and bid them godspeed,
or anything else calculated to encour
age them.
Four Kansas football enthusiasts
walked from Lawrence to Topeka, a
distance of thirty miles, to see the
Kansas-Washburn game a week ago
Saturday.

their young people at the church this

get acquainted with one another.
A very active interest is bul'M
shown this year bolh in and Ly the
young people. They have already
spent two evenings in a social way

year nd a Hallowe'en party at the
home of Mr. F. M. Spalding- Flans are
already being laid for a Christmas
party to be given at the home of Gov
ernor Morehead and a valentine party
has also been suggested.
The results of these events have
been, thus far, very satisfactory since
a large number is always present and
the attendance of both the church and
