AGRICULTURISTS TO HAVE PART
OF 'daily NEBRASKAN
GOOD PROGRAM "AG" WEEK
Rett of Wee Will be "Peppy" Barn
Warming Planned Fop Saturday
Night at Farm Dance
Friday Night
Agricultural week le liere, and as yet
the Ags bve not been much more in
evidence than ie their usual custom;
however they are) all working on their
program for the last part of the week
and a live time aeema In store for all.
Tomorrow the Agriculturists will
have 'charge of a part of the Dally
Nebraskan. R. J. Possen will be edi
tor, while P. W. Gentleman and Chas.
Gunnels will have charge of the busi
ness end. Tomorrow they will also
have charge of convocation. A spe
cial program has also been arranged.
For Friday night the Ags'have ar
ranged for a dance at Rosewilde Hall.
It has been the custom at this annual
atfair to admit none but Ag students.
The custom has been departed from
this year however, so that those who
desire to attend this hop may do so
at the rate of $1.25 per couple,- At
least partly responsible for the above,
is the fact that the All-University-Mixer
fa o be held in the Armory on
the same night, and the Ag students
wish to avoid anything that will even
approach excluslveness in character.
It is hoped and expected that the main
difference between these two functions
will be that of price alone.
The farmers have arranged for a
magnificent "barn-warming" on Satur
day night. It will be held on the
State Farm campus in Horticultural
Hall.- It will be free and everyone Is
invited. The Ags will all be dressed
in typical farm regalia, and others ara
asked to do the same If convenient.
An enjoyable tfme is assured all those
who attend.
DR. MAXEY MAKES
VALUABLE DISCOVERY
Declares That Party of Feedbarn Did
Not Oeliver Feed to Party of
Freshmen
"Nothing Is trivial." -mighty oaks,
etc., etc.," tbVforgetfulness of a cer
tain feed man In this town has caused
discovery of wondrous economic Im
portance, has filled several otherwise
vacant columns in the Daily Nebras
kan. wakened the slumbering muses
in many a scribblers heart; has oc
casioned many a hearty laugh; given
the cynics an opportunity to moralize
on the rot that is getting into the
papers nowadays; last but not least,
it has engaged the services of that
most admirable sleuth. Dr. Maxey.
Conceding nothing, he singlehand
edly dug to the bottom of the case.
From the clues which he has in his
possession Dr. Maxey has come to
the conclusion that the party of the
feedbarn did not deliver the feed to
the party of the Freshman rhetoric
because party of the feedbarn was ar
rested. Dr. Maxey bases his Inference
on the fact that he saw -party of the
first part" out on (the) bale.

REGENT HALLER
DISCUSSES SPAIN
Says That Development is Backward
Modern Art Deals With Bull
Fights and Executions
In an unvarnished version, Regent
Haller of Omaha gave his impressions
of Spain in a talk to the students at
the University Farm this morning at
the convocation In Agricultural Hall
Agricultural development and meth
ods of travel are backward, he 6aid,
and many of the people are Ignorant
and proud as well as being filthy be
yond description.
He called Phillip II ' bug house"
and pronounced the Escorial, a combi
nation monastery and palace which
he built, to be more like an eighth
blunder than an eighth wonder of the
world.
Modern art in Spain, he said, was
all gone. The common subjects are
executions, bull fights, and other grue
some subjects that reflect the cruelty
of the Spanish heart. The older pic
tures at Madrid, however, are said
to be beautiful.
For an American to withstand the
Spanish cooking, the regent declared
that one must have an asbestos stom
ach and alimentary canal.
Three-fourths of the central portion
of Spain was likened to the bad lands
of Nebraska and South Dakota,
Although his impressions were gen
erally unfavorable, Regent Haller said
that he saw many interesting things
In the country well worth while. Re
peatedly In bis talk he told the stu
dent that If they wished to see Spain
they should visit Mexico during a
quiet period, if possible to find such,
and that they would gain a fair im
pression of the land of Don Quixote.
Lives of Seniors all remind us
We should strive to do our best.
And departing, leave behind us
Notebooks that will help the rest-
SECOND BIG III
EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR
SECOND EVENT OF SEASON
GOOD PROGRAM NOW READY
Committee Have Arranged Several
"Stunts" Which Will Please
Come Prepared For a Good
Time
Of course no one has forgotten that
the second all-university mixer will be
held on Friday night, December 11, in
the Armory "as usual." All the stu
dents as well as all the facclty are ex
pected to be present and no one doubts
that tliey will all be there.
There will be amusements of every
sort, several numbers by the band and
an original little farce will be staged
as a part of the stunt program. In
deed they have promised to give us
a peep into the little Red School House
of the Faculty in the days of long ago.
' Perhaps this will give us some idea
of those wonderful things that "father
did fifty years ago."
There is excellent authority that the
committee has for some time been in
direct communication with the bellig
erent leaders of the world who have
promised to send reports which will,
perhaps, be read. Out professors of
history! Here is your one chance for
direct facts, evidence boik-d down and
full of truth!
It has been noised abroad also that
those who attend this mixer will have
the opportunity of seeing a Russian
honeymoon but it cannot be learned
just who constitute the bridal couple.
There will be no formal Introduction
that evening as it is not a formal
affair. A. good novel means has, how
ever, been adopted which will entirely
do away with the necessity of intro
duction. Have you noticed that it Is the most
popular thing to come singly or in
groups of threes and fours? To come
by twos take half the fun away.
Come however you like, but be sure
to come some way.
If you lose a little steam, use the
safety valve and not the whistle. It's
better of blow off than to blow. Dally
Texan.

Chancellor Goes
Chancellor Avery, Prof. Barbour,
and all members of the Board of Re
gents, except Copeland and Anderson,
left yesterday morning for a tour of
Inspection of the buildings and
grounds of the Washington, Chicago,

the plan of the Board of Regents to
inspect the different plans of group
ing buildings and the style of archi
tecture used at other schools before
beginning to build here. One day will
be spent at each institution in study
ing the grouping of the buildings on
the campus, this being one of the
most serious problems to be faced in
extending the University here. On the
data gathered on this trip the party

what plan of grouping buildings should
be used at Nebraska. Some attention
will also be paid to the styles of archi
tecture at the different schools, al

and after spending tomorrow at that

BASKET JALL LIST
THE TEAM WILL MAKE THREE
TRIPS THIS YEAR
JAYHAWKERS ON "SCHEDULE
Last Game of the Season Will be
With the Wesleyan Coyotes Who
Handed the Huskers a Couple
of Defeats Last Year
According to the Nebraska basket
ball schedule as completed and ' ap
proved by the athletic board the Corn
huskers will take three trips, the first
being through Iowa and Minnesota.
The first game of the season will be
played on January 6th against the
Company G quintet of Fort Dodge,
Iowa, at either Omaha or Fort Dodge.
The following day the team will meet
Hamline College at Hamline, Iowa,
from which place they will go to Min
neapolis where they will give the
Gophers a couple of chances to get
revenge for their defeats of last year.
The Minnesota games will be played
January 8th and 9th. On January 15th
and 16th Nebraska meets the Ames
Aggies on the home floor. On the 20th
a cyclone will sweep over Kansas
from the north, causing much loss and
suffering to the farmers around Man
hattan' on the 20th and 21st and then
veering slightly to the east will take
a couple of whirls at the Jayhawk nest.
Official prognosticators have set the
date of these dis.arbances as January
22nd and 23rd. A battle royal will
occur on February 6th when the Corn
huskers tangle with the rapid Wes
leyan pack (the word "rapid" is used
advisedly; "speedy" and "fast" are be
coming too hackneyed for our pure
and elevated style and besides we like
to set Doc Sherman a good example).
This mixup will occur in the Coyote's
den three or four miles east of Lin
coln. February 10th and 11th will see the
boys at Des Moines scrapping with the
