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

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

Eighty people tried out for places
on the University Dramatic club last
night at the Temple theater. Miss
Alice Howell, associate professor of
dramatic art, and several of the club
members acted as judges. The names
of those who made the places will be

The tryouts last night were the
largest in the history of the club, and
indicate the increasing interest in dra
matic study by the University stu
dents. At least one play will be given
during the year by the club, and it
will probably send a play on the road
during University Week.
UNIVERSITY LIFE
DEVELOPING TIME
Declares Dr. W. O. Allen of Doane
College, Convocation Speaker
Yesterday
That the four years of a university
life form the period of greatest social
and mental development of the stu

ing. The university student who can
develop balance and properly evaluate
life is on the right path to success."
Dr. Allen declared.
Dr. Allen urged care in the choice
of friends. So many just take chances,
and friendship is a priceless thing in
life. The friendships that we make in
our university life are the ones we
carry through lfee. so be carefuL Find
the woman or man of your soul and
tben win the friendship.
Look out for the turns in the road, ;
learn to evaluate life, for success J

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

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.

seven of whom are veterans of at least

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

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

playing. Their back field, according

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.
