PROFESSOR VISITS ALMA MATER
History Professor Impressed with
Student Self-Government at Berke
ley and Stanford
Professor Guernsey Jones visited
the University of California this sum
mer for the first time since he was
graduated there in 1891 and says his
"Alma Mater has grown like a mush
room. He met many of his old pro
fessors and classmates. Many of the
old buildings are replaced by new ones,
the number of students has increased
enormously and the university now
ranks second in our country.
Prof. Jones was especially impres
sed by the student self-government at
the Univeristles of California and
Stanford. He says it develops self
respect among the students and
creates a closer fellowship between
professors and students. He recom
mends its adoption here.
The city of Berkeley increased its
population from 15.000 45,000 in two
years after the San Francisco disas
ter Tbe refugees from San Fran
cisco moved to Berkeley and never re
turned. So Prof. Jones found the
city or Berkeley as much changed as
the university
Prof. Jones visited many other
places of interest including Grand Can
yon, Yellowstone Park, Creater' Lakes
and the. two expositions. He started
for Alaska and got as far as Portland,
Ore. Here he found the smoke of
forest fires so dense that he decided
to go no farther.

U HALL THEME BOX VICTIM
Many Solutions 'of the Tangle Are
Offered Cigar in Hall Gives a
Working Clue Who Is
the Culprit?
What a prosaic and commonplace
looking thing is the Freshmen theme
box. As one passes it in U hall it
is hard to realize that that uncouth
looking receptacle is the goal of so
many efforts of sons and daughters
lately from the soli. It may resemble
many things, but how analagous It
is to the old box in which we put our
precious pennies when we went to Sun
day school after having experienced
a birthday,
Ordinary as the box may look it is
no ordinary affair. How many things
of wonder and bow many gems of wis
dom it could divulge should it choose
to break into speech. How many
blasted hopes of youthful Shakespeares
and orators to be, could it teli of. How
many ambitions has it seen seared
by a theme reader's most cruel blue
penciL How many tales of mystery
could the old box give us and how
many University secrets It could give
publicity to should that same old box
tell ail that it has heard, describe all
it has seen and state all that It has
learned.
This has ever been so. Yet more for
cibly Is it brought to ones' attention
just at present, for that humble and
innocent Freshmen necessity Is labor
ing under a dark suspicion. It Is to
come before the supreme authority
for indictment on a charge of most
dastardly and indiscreet action. Of
course, the box cannot be said to have
been "particeps crlmlnls" in regard to
the matter, but like the newspaper
correspondent Archibald, who carried
incriminating dispatches and evidence
without knowledge of the fact, It has
been made us of In a way which Is
inconsistent with the environment In
which it is placed. This disclosure
has become necessary because of the
butt of a ten-cent cigar which was
found one morning recently resting
peacefully on top of the old chest.
A number of theories have been ad
vanced as to the perpetrators of the
atrocity. One of the most plausible
Is that the accused is remaining silent
probably, to protect some one else
more closely connected with the cigar,
than itself. Assuming that this far
the theory is correct the next thing
to ferret out is, who was the cocon
spirator. In regard to this question a
number of theories have also been ad
vanced. One Is that he must nave

Memorial Service at Convocation

p. Brown. Prof. G. E. Barber and

rerslty of Minnesota.

of the Nebraska Art association was

time preliminary arrangements were

ing to the pupils of the Lincoln
schools and fifteen to pupils In the
high school.

the Art Gallery on Saturday after
noon, under the direction of Miss Mun
ly, assisted by advance students In

CHAMBERLAIN AND MOSER IN
LINEUP YESTERDAY
RACELY WANTS MORE MEN
Freshmen Mentor Issues Call for Ad
ditional Material Preparations
Being Made for Largest Open
ing Game in History
Things looked good at yesterday's
practice, held at M street park. And
not only the spirited exh'bltion put
by the Varsity against the first year
squad was responsible for this appear
ance; the presence of two new huskies
In the regular lineup was responsible
In large part for the happy expression
which onlookers wore. The said hus
kies were Chamberlain and Moser,
the former at left end Instead of his
old place at half, and the latter In the
pivot position.
The scrimmage, which was of short
duration, was of a conservative nature
in the view of the hard grill given the
men in the Varsity-Freshman game
Saturday. The Freshmen were given
the ball on the Varsity ten-yard line,
and exhorted to put it over in ten
downs. They accomplished this feat
the first time In five attempts, but
when they attempted to repeat were
compelled to relinquish the ball after
ten futile attempts against the impreg
nable Carsity defense. The Varsity
were then sent against the Freshmen,
and succeeded In piercing the first
year defense for long and consistent
gains.
Chamberlain loomed up in old time
form, stopping every Freshman play
which came his way and demonstrat
ing his prowress as a ground gainer.
There was little comment when the
big man was placed at end, and It Is
thought probable that he will start the
game against Drake at the wing posi
tion, with Reese and Gardiner alter
nating at right half. He demonstrated
his ability as a defensive half last
fall, and nothing need be said of his
offensive" work. Coach Stiehm isn't
peddling any advance information, and
it is therefore only a matter of con
jecture as to whether the change Is
made with a view to permanency.
If the Drake Bulldogs are coming
to Lincoln" next Saturday with ambi
tions to repeat the performance of
the South Dakota Coyotes last fall,
they will find a very appropriate set
ting, for preparations are being made
for the biggest opening game crowd
Nebraska ever had. State officials
and Omaha and Lincoln executives
have been invited, and the season will
be formally opened by Gov. Moreiead
and Mayor's Dahlman and Bryan. As
to the ability of the Des Moines elev
en to make good their intentions,
there seem to be few In the Nebraska
camp who are inclined to make light
of Drakes' ability, but fewer still who
think her capable of seriously endan
gering the Husker's chances.
The turn-out of new Freshmen ma
terial during the last few days has
not come up to expectations of the
first year mentor, and he Is urgent
ly calling for more men. The sqnad
at the present time totals about forty
less than have turned out. at sev-
