CORNHUSKER FEED
WILL BE HELD AT THE LINDELL
HOTEL THIS EVENING
MANY TICKE1S LEFT TO SELL
Every Loyal Cornhusker Urged to
Come and Honor Hs Team
C. C. Quiggle Will Be
Toastmaster.
The big Cornhusker Banquet is
coming off tonight and a bunch of
loyal rooters are expected to be pres
ent. It would be a good show of
school spirit if every man would come
out on this memorable occasion and
show our championship team that
they are with them heart and soul.
This is beyond doubt the greatest
team Nebraska has ever had, surpass
ing even the days when Temple and
Shonka and the other old-time stars
were on the Nebraska eleven. In
deed, this may be called the honor
team of the Institution, and will be
one that will be hard to duplicate in
the yearsto come.
The tickets are still being sold, and
more can be accommodated at this
big feed if the tickets run out. The
committee in charge of selling the
tickets, however, is anxious that a
great many more tickets be sold, as
they still have a goodly number on
hand. It is their desire to make this
the biggest and best of all banquets,
past or future.
A fine toast list is prepared, with
C. C. Quiggle, president of the Com
mercial Club, as toastmaster of the
evening. The members of the team,
will make speeches and also the
coaches. Beyond doubt this will be
the, best banquet yet, and every loyal
Cornhusker owes it to the team to be
present tonight and cheer the team of
teams now that the season's battles
are over and the victors can receive
their well-earned dues.
Every Cornhusker out tonight.
BRIDGEMAfl TALKS ON
fMINGJF CONTRACTS
Addresses Professor Martin's Class In
Business Organization Gives
Amusing Personal Incident.
Professor Martin's class in Business
Organization was treated yesterday
morning to a lecture by Professor
Itrldgeman of the Engineering depart
ment. ' Professor Brldgeman discussed
the making of contracts and the gen
oral rules to be observed by contractors
in carrying out their business agree
ments. He illustrated the lecture
v-Uh interesting incidents taken from
Ms own experience as a small boy,
nd later as a construction engineer.
The one incident related by the
speaker that was most loudly cheered
v.as the description of his first and
lust contract. It was an agreement
to clear a certain cornfield of cockle
burrs. The professor maintains that
he was not at that time a very keen
bargainer, for his calculations, made
long before the last burr had been dis
posed of, showed' that he had already
more than earned his money.
Several member of the class were
heard to express themselves as be
lieving that an ocaslonal lecture of
this sort adds more interest to the
regular classroom work.

FRESHMEN COACHED
IN MIT OF FUSSING
Colorado to Try Plan Seeking to
Secure Results In Parlor and
Class Room.
In order to systematize the fussing
among their freshmen and get the best
results in both class room and parlor
some of the fraternities have been dis
cussing a card system similar to thai
employed by the A, S. U. C. in regard
to the men taking part in intercol
legiate athletes.
The plan as disciissed was to have
neat cards printed on which would bo
a line for the length of time spent in
fussing each week, name of the girl,
and a space below for the signature of
the girl. The entire center of the card
will be given over to remarks by the
girls. On this space it is hoped to
have noted the worst defects, sugges
tions for remedy and possibly the im
provement shown by the victim.
The system will be given a tryout
and the results will be compared with
the scholarship cards of the youthful
fussera and a nicety of balance be
tween these two essentials of educa
tion will be sought. Beginning im
mediately after the Thanksgiving holi
days the cards will be Issued each
week and the results watched with in
terest. Colorado Daily.

UNIVERSITY CHORUS
AIDS THE SUFFERERS
i
Twenty-Four Pounds of Medicated
Cotton Sent To Arrive in Vienna
About Xmas.
At University Chorus rehearsal,
November 20, Wm. G. Shepherd's ap
peal to the American public to send
medicated cotton to Vienna for the
wounded Belgians, was read. Mr.
Shepherd is the United Press cor
respondent at Vienna, Austria, and is
thoroughly acquainted with the condi
tions prevailing there. The appeal
described the general situation, but
the predominating thought which it
conveyed was the misery and death
caused by lack of cotton. Few of us
have realized that cotton is so essen
tial in the care of wounds. Few have
known that even a slight wound causes
a man's death if medicated cotton
with which to dress it cannot be pro
cured. The reading of this appeal led
the members of the University chorus
to decide that money spent in this
way would be well spent.
A motion was passed unanimously
that all money in the Chorus treasury,
and all the individual contributions
from any person handed in to any
member of the committee be used for
this purpose. The committee has re
ported that twenty-four pounds of cot
ton was mailed at the Lincoln post
office yesterday. It should reach
Vienna just before Christmas accord
ing to postal authorities.
The Chorus committee will be
pleased to receive money for this pur
pose from any University students.

tions. HOURS ARRANGED FOR
