ANSWER GALL
FIRST FOOTBALL MEETING FOR
SPRING CAMPAIGN
Rutherford Predict New Methods for
Next Fall Team Cannot Live
U Reputation
Assistant Coach Dick Rullierford
and Captain Corey talked things over
with about thirty varsity football can
didates in the Armory yesterday
morning. Plans for spring football
practice which will start immediate
ly after vacation, and the ' general
plan of the work next fall was out
lined by Rutherford, after which
"Tim" Corey told the men what
Nebraska and the .new coach expected
of them.
That the general style of play would
be different from last year was the
substance of Dick Rutherford's talk.
He said that both plays and players
probably would undergo a change
that men who have had little chance
in the past to show what they could
do would get their chance next fall.
He then stressed the necessity for
regular attendance at spring practice
and the value of rudimentary drill to
be gotten from it. In discussing the
work of the regular campaign, he said
N that, Nebraska could expect her hard
est battles from the Kansas Aggies,
the Oregon Aggies, the Iowa Aggies,
Kansas and Notre Dame. The last,
of course, will be the hardest game
on the schedule, but there was no
reason why Nebraska should not win
it.
Captain Corey then told the men
that it was necessary to have the
support of the "whole gang," both old
men and new, at spring practice, and
reminded them that they had a man's
size job ahead of them.
"We've got to deliver the goods next
fall," he said. "We can't live on our
pa3t reputation. Dr. Stewart is com
ing with his mind already made up as
to what we have done heretofore,
and what we can do. It's up to us to
make good."

GIRLS CAN DEVELOP
A PERSONALITY
MISS HELEN BENNETT SPEAKS
AT Y. W. C. A. VESPERS
Suggests New University Department
to Help Women Improve Their
Personalities
"Qualifying in Personality" was the
subject of an unusually interesting
talk by . Miss Helen M. Bennett yes
terday afternoon in the Temple thea
tre at the regular Y. W. C. A. vesper
hour, in which she urged upon uni
versity girls the importance of per
sonality. "Personality,", said Miss Bennett,
"Is the thing that makes every girl
different from the one who sits next
to her. It differentiates the individ
ual. It makes humanity.
"I hope that Bome day that some
one of you," Miss Bennett said seem
ing to address each girl personally,
" will originate a new profession,
one which will require tact, much
original work, and that is, to establish
a department in your university for
the development of personalities. So
far such a work has been left un
touched In the college curriculum. To
open this department it would be
necessary' to study the personality of
every girl in order to make it reach
the greatest effectiveness. College
girls are hard to deal with in this
line, for they resent criticism. A girl
cannot develop perfection until she
has remedied imperfection.
"The encouraging thing about per
sonality," Miss Bennett continued, "Is
that every personality can be made
eood and desirable K it is developed
along its own particular line.
"You cannot graft a foreign quality
on to your personality and make it
effective,"
"Personality," she concluded, "must
strike twelve in this age, the very
first moment."
PREJUDICED OFFICER
ARRESTS STUDENT
POLICEMAN ADMITS HE DOESN'T
LIKE COLLEGE BOYS
Police Judge Dismisses the Charge
Against Ralph Sturm
for Speeding
Officer J. M. Snyder, of the Lincoln
police force, testifying against Ralph
Sturm, '18, in police court yesterday
morning, admitted that his dislike of
university students had influenced him
in making the arrest. Sturm was held
on the charge of speeding.
The arrest was made March 12, at
Eleventh and E. streets. Sturm was
driving with four student friends at
the time Snyder stopped him, and ac
cused him, it is said, of going at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. In
court yesterday Snyder testified that
he had estimated Sturm's speed at 25
miles an hour, but did not have any
accurate means of judging it.
Police Judge Fullerton dismissed
the charge and discharged Sturm
when Officer Snyder confessed that his
personal bias might have influenced
him in making the arrest. x
Riding with Sturm were Howard
Hadley, '16, W. L. Altken, '19, Harold
Shubert, '19, and Miss Daphne Stlckel,
19. All testified in Sturm's behalf,
estimating the rate of speed of the

U
GREAT DEMAND
MISS CARRIE BARSLOW TALKS
OF SELLING PROFESSION
On Salary Basis, Teacher and Sales
women About on a Par,
Speaker Declares
"There is a demand for com
petent saleswomen," Miss Carrie Bar
slow stated yesterday afternoon, In
her vocational conference talk. "Suc
cess comes from trying to be success
ful. Success is the answer to zeal
and enthusiasm. If one is to succeed
he must like his work and deslreto do
It better than anyone else has ever
done it."
The essential requirement for sales
manship, as given by Miss Barslow,
is the ability to inspire faith from
the customer. The salesman must
have good taste, must be able to fur
nish ideas that make each customer
a satisfied one.
"Tact Is also necessary," Miss
Barslow said. The other requirements
she gave were patience, courtesy, a
sense of humor, a knowledge of one's
work, system and a good education.
She spoke briefly of the ermyara
tive salary of the salesmen and the
teacher. After a teacher has attended
the various out-of-town school meet
ings, tak'.n the required educational
courses and paid her expenses during
summer vacation, Miss Barslow said
She believed the difference in salary
was more than balanced.
Upon the various departments, Miss
Barslow said, "First see what you'd
like to do, then look into the work
closely. Not only see things, but see
through things. Consider physical
conditions."
NEED KNOWLEDGE
OF COUNTRY LIFE
THIS REQUIRED FOR WOMEN IN
EXTENSION WORK
Miss Emma Reed Davlsson Tells Her
Experiences In This Line to
University Girls
Mrs. Emma Reed Davlsson declared
as she began to tell the university
girls of the responsibilities, opportuni
ties and requirements of extension
work, in Faculty hall yesterday,' that
she was not going to paint the work
rosily. She spoke definitely of the re
quirements that must be met by the
extension worker, one of the most im
portant being a knowledge of country
life. Mrs. Davlsson stated that the
way of mingling with people at the
afternoon tea, which is more or less
superficial, would not do for extension
work. True comradeship is needed,
the speaker said, and she cited an
instance of a zirl who, being enter
tained in a home where she was car
rying on the work, helped her hostess
with the various tasks, and when din-

PERSONALITY THE
SUCCESS KEYNOTE
SO DECLARES MISS BENNETT,
OPENING CONFERENCE
Tells of the Work of the Collegiate
t
Bureau of Occupations
of Chicago
"Personality is the keynote of suc
cess," declared Miss Helen Bennett,
manager of the Chicago Collegiate Bu
reau of Occupations, at convocation
yesterday. A personality is the great
est asset to a woman In a profession,
according to Miss Bennett, who has
helped hundreds of girls find their vo
cations. The need of a collegiate beurau of
occupations was first felt in the east,
where women were met with more
prejudice and found it more difficult
to forge their way In a . profession,
than western women, explained Miss
Bennett.
Realizing that college graduates
needed a similar bureau, these inter
collegiate bureaus of occupations were
formed with a threefold object; first,
to put college women in touch with
other professions besides teaching; to
agitate vocations for women, and to
investigate and open up new lines of
work.
The types of women that come to
the Chicago office are varied and in
