Mrs. William Jennings Bryan will be
the speaker of the afternoon.
Every University girl, whether or
not she is now actively interested in
the cause of suffrage, is asked to be

is to start an organization that will be
democratic, that will include the great
majority if not all of the Nebraska
University girls, and that will be rep

precinct in tlie state.

sponsors for the organization that is
expected to be formed, will be a com

question of the franchise will be dis

inculcate in the Nebraska girls the
ideals of the leaders in the cause, to
acquaint them with the suffrage prop

just why the vote is being asked for
women, and what it is expected to
bring to them.

man's Industrial education, who spoke
at convocation yesterday on the work
of the Woman's Educational Industrial
union of Boston. The work of this
ULlon is to help college girls find oth
er industrial work than regular teach
ing. "We have found a need of guid
ance in industry. It is very common
for girls, because of an immediate
need of work to choose the wrong
kind of work," added Mrs. Woolman.
The industrial union is trylnt to
correct this situation by training the
girls for the work for which they are
best fitted. The union was started
with the idea of training the more
educated women, but the work has ex
tended to the poorer girls also. Spe
cial teachers, trained in guidance,
work with the school and with the
bureau which locates the girls in bus
iness. Workers Needed .

in advocating votes for women. She
has spoken at many different places
the country over, sometimes with her
husband, who is an ardent exponent of
the suffrage cause, but more often
without him. The opportunity to hear
and meet her is one that should not
be neglected by the Nebraska girls.
An organization of the University
girls a suffrage council has been
quietly at work for the past two or
three weeks, preparing to launch this
movement. It i3 composed of repre
sentatives of the sororities and prin
cipal girls' boarding houses, and has
succeeded already in arousing a great
deal of interest in the cause.
No Torch Bearing
"We do not propose to train the Ne
braska girls to carry a torch or to
give stump speeches," one of this
council said yesterday. "We want all
the girls to thoroughly understand the
need of the vote for the women of
the nation and the state, so that when
the time comes they can exert their
influence in their homes and in their
home communities to secure the bal
lot for women.
"The meetings that we will have
will be largely study hours, when wo
men who have been prominently iden
tified with the movement will address
us. We want a big, democratic organ
ization of Nebraska girls who are
working for suffrage, and who know
why they are for it and what can be
accomplished by it.
The women on the advisory board
who will be at the meeting tomorrow
will be Mrs. Samuel Avery, Mrs.
Frank Woods. Mrs. W. E. Hardy, Mrs.
H. H. Dorris. Mrs. Frank P. Quick,

PREPARE U HALL FOR
REINFORCING RODS
Foundation Cut Out to Receive Chan
nel Iron Stays
Work of cutting out parts of the
foundation of University hall, to make
room for the channel iron stays and
rods that will be placed in the build
ing to keep It from tumbling down,
began yesterday. Stonecutters vrr
at work making holes in the south
wall for the first set of rods that will
help make the building stronger.
Three-fourths inch steed rods will
run from north to south wall of the
building on every floor. During the
past decade there has been a gradual
sag in the building, and while there Is
no reason for alarm over the safety
of the students, it was thought advis
able to take the precaution of making
the walls absolutely safe. The mill
has recejved the order for the Iron,
and the rods will be placed as soon as
they are received.
Meanwhile the engineering college
faculty and students have been mak
ing readings to determine whether the
sinking is continuing. So far they
have discovered none.
The union Is a great department
More of education."
Mr. Woolman also told of the work
of Mr. Meyer Bloomfield In Boston,
who is training boys who with to be
department tore managers, to be alHO
voc ational guides for their employees.
This work Is especially Interesting to
her because these boys will in time
be managers over the girls with whom
she Is working.
The sharpest student is seldom the
one who cuts the most classes. Sil

NEBRASKAN STAFF
AT WORK ON ANNUAL
FOOTBALL NUMBER
The Daily jiebraskan football edi
tion will be issued this year on
Thanksgiving, the day of the battle
with Notre Dame on Nebraska field.
The staff has already commenced
work on what it is believed will be
the finest football edition ever put out
at the University. The paper will de
part from the stereotyped form of its
predecessors, and will be gotten up in
a style somewhat different from that
used during the past years.
' The edition will be a splendid one
to send to the alumnus or the former
student, to recall the good old days.
The staff expects to print an edition
of 10,000, the largest edition of a Uni
versity publication ever made.
FIRST TRYOUTS
FOR SOPHOMORES
TESTS FOR SECOND-YEAR MEN
SCHEDULED FOR NOV. 15
Rally to Be Scheduled Soon Commit
tee Issues Call for Amateur
Pugilists
The initial Olympics tryouts for
sophomore candidates was scheduled
for next Wednesday evening, Novem
ber 15, in the chapel at a meeting of
the sophomore Olympics committee in
the Temple last night. The big pep
meeting for the second-year men will
be announced later.
Chairman of Olympics Robert Wen
ger, has begun a wide advertising
campaign for amateur pugilists to rep
resent the class in their annual clash
with the freshmen, November 18. Ap
plications in this particular depart
ment have been scarce, and the com
mittee, confident that the sophomores
will be able to hold their own against
the freshmen in the other events, are
very anxious to strengthen their
chances in boxing and wrestling. Al
though several likely looking pros
pects have asked for a chance in the
latter, there are still vacancies, and
more candidates are desired for this
event also.
Awaiting the approach of their big
"pep" meeting and initial tryouts next
Tuesday, the freshmen are showing
growing enthusiasm and confidence.
Their determination to begin the ca
reer of the class in a proper manner
has been responsible for a promising
response to Chairman Augustine's
call for candidates issued Thursday,
but in both boxing and wrestling the
freshmen still need tryout candi
dates. OMAHA ALUMNI

MEET CLASS FOOTBALL
MANAGERS MONDAY
Assistant Coach "Dick" Rutherford
has announced a meeting of the man
agers of the class football teams in
his office Monday morning to go over
important business regarding the an
nual games for the inter-class football
championship.
Scouts will soon be busy looking
for likely material with which to build
football machines. The class season
usually begins shortly after the close
of the intercollegiate season, and the
championship is often decided on a
cold, cold day in January. It is re
ported that efforts will be made this
year to start the season earlier and
schedule the games in time to dis
pose of them before the Christmas
recess.
SENIOR LAWS
TO LEGISLATURE
F. C. RADKE AND L. T. FLEET
WOOD ELECTED TUESDAY
Roommates Will Represent Cedar and
Dixon Counties in Session
of 1917
Room mates for six years and mem
bers of the senior law class, L. T.
Fleetwood of Wakefield and F. C.
Radke of Wynot will also go to the
state legislature together as a result
of the election Tuesday, when Fleet
wood was chosen representative of
the Fourteenth district from Dixon
count', and Radke was voted similar
powers for the Fifteenth district of
Cedar county.
In both cases the election was won
by energetic campaigning during the
summer months. Returning to school
to resume their studies this fall, Fleet
wood and Radke were the choice of
their counties when the question was
decided at the polls. Tuesday. Fleet
wood received a majority in every
precinct over his two opponents. Mu
renburger. and a late nominee, Mc
Keeson, placed on the ballot by peti
tion. Radke had keener competition,
winning over the other candidates, S.
O. Reese of Randolph by the narrow
, margin of ninety-four votes.
Are Roommates
Six years ago Radke and Fleetwood
started to room together. In 1!H
Radke received his A. B. from the
University, and Fleetwood got the
same degree a year later. They en
tered lh" law college at the same time,
and both wili ssraduate in June.
Neither Radke nor Fleetwood could
tell friend yesterday just when t'.ie
idea of ruiinins for the legls'ature
from their respective counties oc
curred to them. When the people of
! Cedar and Dixon counties began to
look over the list of available men to
represent them in the state law -making
liody, they jusi naturally chose
these two room mates.

The call of tl ? ringer and the leaner

fluence than the discussion of the var-t-lty
football team, and the uncertain
ty over the election did not thrill near
as much as the anxiety to settle the
championship.

doughty warrior of Cornhuxker fame
are among the mot expert in tossing
the homely quoits. Close rivals to
them in proficiency are Pete Seemcnn,

given over to the Lincoln and Omaha
high schools, who will battle for the
state high school championship. The
Cornhuskers will engage in a stiff
practice this afternoon and tomorrow
morning, and will then start in in
earnest Monday to prepare for Kan

to attend the game Saturday. Besides
seeing a good game of football he
might learn something about school
spirit that would do him some good.

SORORITY GIRLS
TO EATAT NIGHT
CONCESSION MADE IN THE NEW
RULES JUST ADOPTED
But Co-eds Must Be Out of Hotels by
the Midnight Hour Old Rules
Still Hold
Permission to eat downtown late
Friday and Saturday nights, providing
the stay does not last after 12 o'clock,
is the one concession that the Uni
versity sorority girls have allowed
themselves this year. In drawing up
their regulations for girls who live in
the sorority bouses.
With this one exception, the same
set of rules that controlled the girls
last year have been approved by the
Pan-Hellenic council, and adopted by
the different sororities.
The rule allowing the girls to eat,
providing they do not stay later than
midnight, will still operate as a check
to eating in downtown hotels after
dances. Although the parties now end
at fifteen minutes to twelve, there is
hardly time in a quarter of an hour to
order and consume even a chicken
sandwich.
Ten-thirty Rule Again
The 10:30 rule is still to be ob
served. There was a movement in
some quarters to lengthen the free
hours to 11 o'clock, and while this
movement had strong supporters, it
was In the end defeated. For this
year at least, the house girls must be
inside at 10:30. unless they have been
to the theater and that thejter must
not be a movlrg picture show, or the
Lyric or the first part of the week
Orpheum.
. The same old Injunction against
loitering on the steps and porches on
returning from engagements, is reit
erated. Again, the freshman rule,
only one week night date, has been
adopted In the interests of study.
