EMPHASIZE PERMA
NENCY INYEAR BOOK
HEAVIER AND MORE DURABLE
PAPER AND LEATHER
Snapshot and Storlea of Every Not
able Event In the Col
lege Year
Permanency has been emphasized
In this year's Cornhusker more than
ever before, both from a standpoint
of mechanical make-up and from a
standpoint of interest . .
There has been no money spared In
making the book itself as permanent
as possible, more durable paper, heavy
fine grain leather, and a hand sewed
tape binding that will insure a strong
back-bone.
The editorial department has also
looked forward x to a more permanent
character for the book. There has
been no event of the year that is of
general interest which has not been
"covered" both with snapshots and
write-ups. The Athletic and Military
sections are mora complete than
ever before. Each class and college
has it own department, with write-ups
V of its principal activities, and pic
tures of its "organizations, teams, offi
cers, etc.
There are more Junior and senior
pictures than ever before, and what
is even more important, they are in
compact and permanent form. Indi
vidual pictures are easily lost or dam
aged, but when all are bound together
in a book they are easily kept and
referred to. Besides, there will be
the pictures of practically all the stu
dents instead of only a few class
friends. The organization pictures,
too, with the members' names below,
are always a source of pleasure and
satisfaction to Cornhusker owners.
If one is thinking, "I guess it isn't
worth while for me to buy a Corn
husker this year," he should ASK
THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE.
ALPHA TAU OMEGAS
HOLD HOUSEVARMING
The annual .house-warming of ,the
Alpha Tau Omegas was held Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock, when the house
keeper's cottage at the rear of the
fraternity house caught on fire.
The fire was discovered by a sopho
more, who awoke the house. The
three chemical tanks of the fraternity
were pressed into service. These were
unable to check the flames, so the
fire department was called.
"Sleuth" Ketchem succeeded in
turning the stream of one of the chem
ical tanks upon Martin Chittick's hair,
while Lyman Thomas, whose garb was
decidedly negligee, received the full
force of the hose and retired to an
other part of the house.
On the whole, the warming was one
of the best given. The . attendance
was large and the Idea of appearing in
in bathrobes and bed room slippers at
an affair like this will probably mark
a new epoch in -the social life of the
fraternity.

for the show;, lie said he would make
a statement later In the week.

SUGGEST NAMES -FOR
GIRLS' SECTION
Cornhusker Staff Offers Twenty-two
to Voters
The "Nebraska Girls' Section" is a
departure from last year's so-called
"Beauty Section," in that the list sub
mitted is a combination of all the
types of girls in the university.
There is, naturally, a difference of
opinion as to the type which should
be considered. The Cornhusker staff,
after many days of careful considera
tion, decided to make the selection
from sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Their choice was based on either the
girls' activity in the university, their
popularity or their beauty. When vot
ing for eight.therefore, these qualities
are to bo remembered.
Many criticisms have been made
concerning the twenty-two selected
because the list was not made for
merit alone. If such a choice were
made, the staff could have done noth
ing better than have chosen from the
Xi Deltas, Silver Serpents and Black
Masques.
It Is urged that the voters do not
let policy enter into their choice, but
that they choose with the above
named qualifications in mind beauty
Dopularity and activity. If those sug
gested, do not suit, the voters may
pick eight original ones.
The girls that have been suggested
on the ballot are as follows:
Louise Brownell,
Jean Burroughs,
Louise Coe,
Jeannette Finney,
Phebe Folsom, :
Lucile Foster,
Edna Froyd,
Carolyn Funke, 1
LaRUe Gillern,
Loa Howard,

PERSINGER BEFORE
OUTLOOK SEMINAR
South America la the Topic for
Tonight's Meeting
Professor Perslnger, of the Ameri
can History department, will give an
illustrated lecture on South America
before the World Outlook Seminar to
night in the Y. M. C. A. room of the
Temple, at 7:15 o'clock. This is the
second of a series of eight meetings
of this organization under the direc
tion of the Y. M. C. A. The meeting
is open to all university men.
No man in the university is better
qualified to speak on South American
conditions and pan-Americanism than
Professor Persinger. He has made
several trips to the south and has
been a keen observer and student of
all phases of South American devel
opment. "Sometimes we think this
country is boss-ridden," declared Pro
fessor Persinger, "but you ought to
see some of the so-called South Amer
ican republics." The politics of the
states, their relations to each other
and their feeling toward the "United
States will be discussed. The talk
will be illustrated by a large number
of slides made from pictures taken
by the speaker.
The tuajor portion of the time will
be given to Brazil, Chile, Argentina
and Peru. The first three" named were
conspicuous in the "ABC" alliance dur
ing the time of our recent unpleasant
ness with Mexico. The basic thought
underlying the talk will be the rela
tion of the United States to Its south
ern neighbors and the real meaning
of pan-Americanism as applied to so
cial, industrial, religious, commercial
and civic institutions.
The World Outlook Seminar, open
to all students, is trying to solve the
need that university men have for a
broader outlook upon international af
fairs that are coming more and more
into prominence. The meetings are
planned and directed by the university
Y. M. C. A., and draw talent mostly
from the campus.

MORE NAMES FOR
NEBR. GIRLS' SECTION
The Daily Nebraskan Proposes Some
Additional Girls
The Cornhusker staff has proposed
the names of twenty-two girls for the
Nebraska Girl's Section of this year's
annual. The ballot provided by the
Cornhusker leaves eight blank spaces
for names to be written in, the staff
suggesting that its list is by no means
complete.
The Daily Nebraskan begs leave to
offer its help to the Cornhusker and
the voters, and suggests an additional
list of names as worthy of considera
tion. It is the belief of The Nebras
kan that for all around worth, the
following upperclass womeistudents
would bear careful consideration.
The Nebraskan's suggestions are:
Florence Angle,
Ethel Arnold,
Josephine Ballard,
Agnes Bartlett,
Ruth Beecher,
Edith Brown,
Ermine Carmean,

REED WINS PRIZE
OFJjORNHUSKER
SUBMITS TEN BEST REASONS
- FOR FRESHMAN
Display Real College Spirit and
Recall Many Treasured
Memories
Harry L. Reed, of Beaver Crossing,
on the Cornhusker for the best ten
reasons why a freshman should buy
the university year book:
The winning reasons are as fol
lows: It will show that you have the real
college spirit.
Your first year will have a great
many treasured memories for you
perhaps more than any other year,
and these can always be vividly
brought back by the Cornhusker.
Don't allow yourself to think that
you can't spare the money. Cut out
a few of your other enjoyments, for
they will be lost as the proverbial
"snow flake." In the Cornhusker you
have something that will always live.
Ask graduates. They will tell you
that their Cornhuskers are priceless
to them. Why should we make mis
takes when we know what to do?
As a purely business proposition, it
could not be better. Next year alone
you will realize over 100 per cent on
your investment, and it will more
than double with each succeeding
year.
We want to be boosters. The Corn
husker will be a silent booster for
our university when others look at it.
The university has had an unusual
ly brilliant year in football, basket
ball and debating. We are very proud
indeed of our school's showing. A 1916
Cornhusker will always give us that
proud feeling for our university when
ever we open it.
Our posterity will greatly enjoy see
ing how we looked when at college.
The Cornhusker will mean something
to us then.
Don't say that you will wait until
your sophomore or junior year and
then get one. Afterwards you will
find there is a void somewhere in your
college life, and that somewhere can
be only attended to this year with a
1916 Cornhusker.
What if they had printed no Corn
husker this year? We would all have
had much to say concerning the un
loyalty of the upperclassmen in over
turning a time honored custom. But
the Cornhusker is printed will our
loyalty still show itself? Let every
freshman reply with a rousing, "yes."
Among the other good reasons sub
mitted, these received honorable men
tion: The 1916 Cornhusker is going to be
a book you will take pleasure in show
ing to your friends.
