The universities are poor and spiritless, with no ambition to lead
the country. H. G. Wells, "Social Forces in England and America."
This statement of Mr. Wells can hardly be accepted when we stop
and realize the spirit and ambition which takes a man to a university,
in the first place. The universities are filled with ambitious youths
and surely it is the ambitious man who is the leader.
If Mr. Wells means that the university students have no ambition
to lead the country politically, the organization of political clubs
throughout the country, at least shows that they are thinking about it.
Surely Mr. Wells has never visited the great universities of the
middle west.
Have you ever analyzed a smile? Foolish question, perhaps, but
nevertheless a smile is the biggest indication of character a man has.
Some people smile with their eyes, some with their noses, others
with their mouths, and still others with their whole faces. A smile
can be kindly and it can be very unkind. It will tell whether a man
is honest, credulous or wholesome-minded. A smile is everything.
An interesting exhibit of work from the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts, the Pennsylyania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Chicago Art
institute is being held in Art hall every morning and afternoon and
on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. When art exhibits are
brought to us, instead of the usual method of going to them, the
exhibits should not be missed by anyone.
The exhibition of work from the
Boston museum of fine arts, the Penn
sylvania academy of fine arts and the
Chicago art institute is open from 9
to 12 every morning and from 4 to 5
every afternoon. Students will also
be admitted on Friday evenings and
from 3 to 5 on Sunday afternoons.
This is an extremely interesting ex
hibit and students ought not to miss
this opportunity.
The attendance at Professor Dann's
interpretation of the Beethoven sym
phony yesterday morning was the
largest there has ever been. Next
Tuesday Professor Dann will play the
second movement of the Second symphony.

RALLY BEFORE
OREGON TRIP
BRIEF BITS OF NEWS
PLAN ROUSING SENDOFF FOR
TEAM AS IT LEAVES FOR WEST
Coaches Want Psychological Effect of
Cheer of Loyal Students as
Train Pulls Out
The University football team, the
band, and those rooters who are for
tunate enough to be able to make the
trip, will leave Lincoln for Portland,
Ore., next Tuesday evening. Their
departure will be speeded by a rally
of students greater than any ever at
tempted before, according to plans be
ing made by the Innocents.
The coaches hope that the team will
be given a send-off that will stick so
strongly in their minds that when
they trot upon the field at Portland,
October 21, in a strange country, a
different climate, a hostile audience,
and a new opponent, the old Nebraska
! spirit will still be present with them.
Engineers' Hop
Ninety-five tickets inclusive of all
compllmentaries, have been validated
for the engineers' hop to be held at
the Kosewilde party house Saturday
evening, October 28, 1916. No more

University fraternities began this
week to make the rounds of the dif
ferent instructors, to learn the stand
ing of the various fraternity men as
regards scholarship. The Greek let
ter societies are preparing for the new
rushing rules which prohibit freshmen
pledging to those fraternities whose
scholarship average is below that gen
eral average for all fraternities. A
closer tab will be kept on the nu n
this year than ever before, as none of
the organizations are anxious to be
caught in a rut when pledging begins
next September.
Subscriptions from alumni of the
University continue to come to The
Nebraskan office in a steady stream,
indicating the permanent interest the
old grad takes in his university. Some
of the subscriptions are accompanied
by letters in which the alumnus tells
of the particular departments in which
he or she Is interested, and asks that
special attention be given them. Most
of them are anxious to see what prog
ress the football team makes in its
workouts, all of them are glad to see
the alumni news, and all are inter
ested in one or another department.
City laundries which have for a
number of years ben granting dis
counts of 20 per cent on laundry to
organizations such as fraternities,
, have raised the price this year ar.d are
j granting ft discount of but 15 per cent
This is another Indication of the high
cost of living. The laundries have
! alan MifaA,1 Hoa nrlttiln ia nn.i 4wr

: years, so that shirts cost two or three
cents more to launder than formerly.
Of course the presence of the band
will be a big asset in helping the team
remember the University. But there
is a psychological effect in a rousing
send-off from the student body as a
whole that it is hoped will not be
lacking as the eleven goes forth to
conquer the world.
Further and more complete an
nouncements of the rally for next
Tuesday night will be made later.
VARSITY BAND
PLAYS LUSTILY
Made Music All Day Long on Streets
of Lincoln Helping 8ale
of Tickets
The stato University band blew
more lustily yesterday than in any of
the very lusty blows of its career.
From early morning to late at night
the organization, hauled up and down
the streets of Lincoln in a hay wagon,
made music with all the vigor of a
circus band.
The band made good with the peo
ple down town, according to all the
sidewalk conversation that 'has been
recorded. Every piece, it is safe to
say, was rendered to the tunefullest
ability of the musicians two or three
times during the eight or nine hours
the men were on the street.
Tuesday noon the Commercial and
Rotary clubs of the city were visited
by the band, which put on an im
promptu concert. Both of these or
ganizations are boosting for the band
to make the trip to the coast with
the football team.

hoots, and shouts of approbation inter
mingled, and Tully called for a rising
vote on the question of closing the
nominations. It was defeated by a
narrow margin, and Edna Coffee and
Kate Helzer were at once put up.
Another rising vote was taken, and
it was found that Miss Reeder had 28
votes, Miss Coffee 16, and Miss Helzer
and called upon to speak, but she ig
nored the request.
Reaction Came
The enthusiasm over the election of
the vice-president caused a reaction,
and when Laflin was proposed for secretary-treasurer,
no one had the nerve
to nominate anyone else. He was de
clared the unanimous choice of the
assemblage, and the meeting moved
on to the election of sergeant-at-arms.
This precipitated another little ses
sion of pleasantry and noisy verbiage.
Carl GrafT was the first nominated,
then Homer Carson was put into the
running, and lastly DeWitt Foster was
named. The last selection met with
noisy approval,, and there were cries
that if Foster had not been given a
square deal, he could now be given an
office. The votes for Graff and Carson ;
did not figure In the final result Fos
ter was the almost unanimous choice
of the class.
The election being over, and the call
of Tully for new business resulting in
a blank silence, the class adjourned.
