Daily VOL. XVI. NO. 16. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1916. PRICE FIVE CENTS IX Y tl tl DECLARES THE STATE SHOULD GO DRY J. F. HANLY 8PEAK8 TO STUDENTS IN TEMPLE' Train Wu Late and Candidate Wat Delayed Meeting at 6:15 That Nebraska should go dry In No vember was the point most stressed by J. Frank Hanly, prohibition party candidate for president of the United States in his address to students in Music hall of the Temple at 6:15 last evening. "You can rote me up or vote me down," he declared at the end of a twenty-m&ute speech in which he pic tured the Importance and timeliness of the prohibitory issue and justified his own candidacy, "If you will just stand squarely at the polls November 7 -and vote for the amendment which will bring this state from the list of those condemned to bose redeemed." The addrees was first scheduled for 4:30 in the Temple theater, but Mr. Hanlys train did not reach Lincoln until shortly before 6. The confusion which arose from the delay and the inconveniences of the hour Cut down the size of the audience materially. There were scarcely one hundred men and co-eds In attendance, but they were enthusiastic and applauded the candidate heartily. Economic Standpoint From an economic standpoint alone, the question of the survival of the liquor traffic was the most momentous of the day, Mr. Hahly declared, after he bad been Introduced by C A. Soren son, '15, as "a man of presidential size and a real issue." More money is yearly expended by the American peo STUDENT UlilOII COMMITTEE MEETING Committee Appointed Last June Has Definite Projects Under Consideration The Student Union committee, named last June by Chancellor Avery after a vote In its favor bad been re corded by the University students, will meet tonight at 7 o'clock in the office of Prof. E. H. Barbour, in the museum. Several definite plana for securing a Union for the University students will be ready for discussion by the committee, and it is probable that within two weeks definite announce ments will be made, and proposals suggested for student discussion. The chairman of the committee, Albert Bryson, is isirg this means to call the eoniraiit'.'' ueLier, and will not notify the nembers individually. PROF. GRUMAANN EXPLAINS REQUIREMENT - FOR MUSIC COURSES Stadeats sttll do not understand the conditions under which music may be taken In the University, according to Prof. Paul H. Grummann of the school of fine arts. Applied music is either instrumental or vocal and no student is allowed to take It without satisfying entrance requirements as stipulated In the special music cir cular. Students who are looking forward to work In applied music should inform themselves about these requirements so W they may have no difficulty in satisfying th m when they wish to register. Regular arts and science students are permitted by an old law of te University, to take two hours of ap plied music per semester with a total cot to exceed eight hours of credit Only students who major in music in the flee arts course are allowed to take five hours work in applied music per semerter. ple for alcoholic drink than is needed to defray all the expenses of the fed eral government for an equal length of time, including the present unprece dented preparedness program. He cited figures to show that governmental ex penses were $400,000,Ci0 less than the amount annually used for liquor con sumption. Looking at the economic importance of the issue from another angle, Mr. Hanly called attention to the 350,000 insane men and women in the state and national care, at least 150,000 of whom, he declared, owed their condition directly to the use of alcohol. At least 360,000 of the crim inals convicted in the United States also owe their fate directly to John Barleycorn, he said. Military preparedness could never be the most important issue, said Mr. Hanly, as long as there remain to be uprooted the liquor traffic, a more dangerous foe than an enemy army. America Efficient "I believe like Mr. Hughes, in 'America Efficient' I will go one step farther than Mr. Hughes, however, and propose a method of making her effi cient. I propose to make America effi cient by making America sober." America will be thrown into the keenest competition for industrial markets that the world has ever known when the 25,000,000 men en gaged In the European war, sobered by the necessity of abstinence, will turn their attention to industrial pur suits when the war is over, in the opinion of Mr. Hanly. He again em phasized the grave importance of mak ing America efficient to meet this com petition, an efficiency which could (Continued on page 3) EIGHTY STUDENTS TRY FOR PLACES ON DRAM -r.C CLUB Eighty people tried out for places on the University Dramatic club last night at the Temple theater.

SECRET PRACTICE BEGUN ON NEBRASKA FIELD COACHE8 8TR0NG ON BEAR DOPE AND BELIEVE IT THEMSELVE8 Reports Brought from Drake Indicate the Bulldogs Will Be a Worthy Foe on the Gridiron Secret practice was the order on Nebraska field last evening for the first time this year. The signal prac tice was short and the men had a big erudce to work out on the dummies. Scrimmage for the evening was quite to Stewart, is a wonder and much bet strenuous, with lots of reprimands j ter than one Nebraska can boast s.tu1 niAr ThA mutn nhwt r th of at the present time. Their line, al- and orders. practice was to increase the accuracy of the men in tackling. The Inauguration of secret practice gives more weight to the belief that the coaches are fearful of the outcome of the first game of the schedule. To hear them talk one would never doubt but that Nebraska is in for a drubbing even at the hands of Drake, not to mention the Kansas Aggies. Drake formations were used against the varsity by the scrubs. These for mations were brought back by Ruther ford, who saw Drake squeeze through with a 7-2 victory over the strong Penn college team last Saturday. Dick came back with all sorts of startling Information about the surprising strength of a supposedly weak team. And instead of the practice game whi6h was expected for Saturday it will be a real tussle with the team playing its best brand of ball all the time, If it is to come out on the long end of the score. A Formidable Eleven Drake has a very formidable eleven, seven of whom are veterans of at least SIGMA XI TO BANQUET AT FARM FRIDAY NIGHT The active members of Sigma XI will give a dinner in the Home Eco nnomics hall at the farm next Friday evening at 7 o'clock.

ALPHA TAU OMEGA PLEDGE Alpha Tau Omega announce the pledging of Victor Vlfquain of Univer sity Place. one campaign, anJ the rest of them are men of exceptional ability in all branches of the game. The old men, who form the nucleus of the "Bull dogs" are: O Smith, Captain AH baugh, Warnock, Towers. Jernegan, Sprong and D. Smith. From the south Coach Stewart and Captain Corey came with "bear" dope which makes one's hair stand on end. The Aggies have a team of veterans mostly, and they show it in all their playing. Their back field, according and low. But the worst news from this region is that they have developed an end down there who is a second Chamber lain, except that he lacks the weight of the former Cornhusker star. He runs from the same formation that Guy used to use and Stewart says that he has never seen his equal at-side-steping, or in going through a broken field. Nebraska Victor? And as for Nebraska defeating them why such a thing as that Is not to be thought of. No, indeed. They are not worrying about such a small thing as that what they are worrying about is who will be the easiest victim, Ne braska or Kansas. They think that they will probably beat the Cornhusk ers by one more touchdown than they will make against K. U. The Drake hopes are by no means unfounded, and- anyone who thinks that there won't be a real game when the two teams meet will have another thought coming.

DEMONSTRATION OF PRACTICAL TEACHING BEFORE STUDENTS The first demonstration lessons be fore the seniors in the Teachers' col lege have been given by Miss Letts Clark, instructor In the teaching of English, and Miss Clara Nelson, in structor in the teaching of geogra- - phy. These two instructors received their degrees from the University, went out into the public schools and proved their ability to teach high school sub jects. They were called back to the University to represent their respec tive departments is the teaching of their chosen subjects. The demonstration lessons were given before one hundred students, who noted the excellencies and de fects of the procedure and then wrote a careful criticism, applying the prin ciples of philosophy and education to the teaching process. These criticisms sre discussed in the classroom freely by the intending teachers. This is one method used in the best colleges of education for improving the novice in the art of instruction.
