The Daily N KAN VOL. XVII, NO. 3. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1917. PRICE FIVE CENTS ebr DISCONCERTING NEWS ENTERSJUSKER CAMP Workouts Continued Yesterday With Forward Passes, Punts and Place-kicks ELEVEN FRESHMEN ARE OUT The first bit of disconcerting news sneaked into the Cornhusker football camp yesterday afternoon when it became known that Sehellenberg, a promising backfield prospect from last year's freshman team, has been troubled for some time by a wrenched back, and might not be able to play at top form this year. The injury was acquired during the basketball season last winter, and has been causing trouble for some time. A trip to the hospital with Coach Stewart failed to give assurance that it can be easily cured. The only remedy prescribed by the doctor was careful work on the football field until the back was stronger. The practice yesterday consisted of work in handling punts and for ward passes, and kicking. Munn, the 215-pound husky from the 1916 freshman squad, has practically re gained his last year's place-kicking form and was dropping them over regularly from the vicinity of the fifty-yard line, with an occasional boot for sixty yards. Teeters, a sophomore who showed the stuff that good varsity men are made of last year, reported for worn yesterday and was given a uniform. He weighs about 190 and is fast for a man of that weight. Teeters is (Continued on page two) MISS HEPPNER IS NEW DEAN OF WOMEN Appointed to Succeed Mrs. Mary Graham Hiltner Prof. Amanda Heppner of tp.e de partment of Germanic languages and literatures has been appointed by Chancellor Avery as dean of women to succeed Mrs. Mary Graham Hilt ner, who resigned following her mar riage this summer. The office of the chancellor announced last evening that the appointment had been rati fied by the board of regents. Arrangements have been made so that Professor Heppner will gradual ly be relieved of her duties in the German department so that she may in the end give all of her time to her new work. She will assume her duties soon after college opens next week. Mrs. Mary Graham Hiltner was dean of women for five years, being appointed to that position not long after her graduation from the Uni versity. She was married to Arthur Hiltner, formerly assistant registrar, and now a member of the firm of Hiltner Eros., florists, last July. FOUR PECKS SEED WHEAT PER ACRE FOR EAST NEBRASKA If the wheat seed bed is well pre pared and seed is sown reasonably early, lees seed can be used than whn soil is cloddy and dry or when the seed is sown late. Pour pecks sown early in a well-prepared seed bed is a fair rate for eastern Ne braska. In western Nebraska less may be used if conditions are favor able. According to results of a five-year test at North Platte, a two-peck seeding yields only 1.3 bushels an acre less than a five-peck seeding. This was on summer-tilled land where conditions are mosi favorable. The reason for this slight difference is that under such conditions stool ing makes up for a thin fctand. For average farm conditions this thin seeding would not be practical. Marjorie Green, '17, is head of the department of physical education at Washington state agricultural college, Pullman, Wash.

TRYOUTS FOR BAND MEN HELD TONIGHT Prospects Bright To Have One of Best Bands In History of School MANY OLD MEN ARE BACK Band tryouts will be held in the Temple theatre tonight at 5 o'clock. This announcement was made by Dr. Cornell yesterday evening when he found that, because of business en gagements, he could not meet the new men. The tryouts will be staged whether Dr. Cornell can take care of them or not tonight Ten ambitious first year men ap peared with their instruments at five last night and were registered. These men will be given the first chance tonight, if they appear at the appointed time. Prospects for one of the best bands in the history of the school are bright Members of last year's band are appearing upon the campus in large numbers and only a few of those who would naturally be here have been kept away by the war. Clarinets are the instruments most needed in the band this year. New men playing this instrument will have a fine chance of making the band. It has not been definitely determ ined as yet how many trips will be made by the band this year. In for mer years the custom has been to take the band on football trips, and the same program will probably be followed this year. PROF.

GREEKS TO FINISH PLEDGINGTOMORROW Sororities Will Pledge New Mem bers From 5 O'clock to 6 O'clock Tomorrow RUSHING SHOWS ECONOMY Fraternity pledging closes Satur day, September 15, at midnight. All pledges must be reported to J. T. Lees, chairman of the interfraternity council, by Monday, September 17, at 6 p. m. Most of the fraternities have put forth their strongest ecorts nn Wortnpsrtnv nnH Thursday. The fraternity rushing has been thorough ly in earnest this year, since a larg er number of freshmen than usual will be needed by many of the fra ternities to fill the places of the UDnerclassmen who have been un able to return. With an increase in the number of freshmen taken, a large percentage of the "Greeks" will be able to hold their own and make a success of a year that looked gloomy last spring. The sororities will have their pledging from five to six on Satur day of this week, which will termi nate the four days of "closed rush ing." All invitations for freshmen girls to join organizations must be handed in to Miss Pound, chairman of intersorority council by 9 o'clock Saturday morning. At a pan-hellenic meeting on Tuesday, Miss Pound urged all sororities to exercise care .in keeping rushing rules, and asked that the various organizations show a friendly spirit toward each other in this regard. All freshmen girls who are prospective candidates for soror ities must have completed their reg istration by 5 o'clock today. Rushing for the girls has taken on a different aspect since the limitation of all rushing expenses ,to fifty dol lars. The co-eds say that it takes a lot of figuring to have several rush ing parties on that amount, for twenty or thirty girls, but nearly all are in favor of cutting expenses in this way. Extras such as cut flow ers, orchestras, and expensive favors, have been entirely eliminated by many "of the groups. 'Instead the girls are making their own favors, providing entertainment from their own material and in other ways mak ing the parties more originally at tractive. "TIM" COREY DISCARDS MOLESKINS FOR KHAKI "Tim" Corey, the husky captain of last year's Cornhusker football team, is now at Fort Snelling in charge of a company of men who are learning the war game in the second officers' training camp. When the training camp was opened last fall. Corey was one of the first to have his application sent in. He was called to report, and left some time before school was out. "Tim" liked the work in the camp and went at it with the same determined spirit for which he was noted on the football field, and as a result he received a commission as captain in the infantry service. Corey was always a welcome lead er on the gridiron, and the men en Joyed doing their best for him. A number of the men who fought with him on the football field are now training with him in the camp, or are engaged in active service at the front Every one of them has a warm place in their heart for Cap tain "Tim" and would be ready to go with him wherever he led. Five Years Ago Today The . 1912 Cornhusker football schedule was announced. The games for that year were to be with Belle vue college. Kansas Aggies. Minne sota. Missouri. Doane college, Kansas university and Oklahoma university. I '''-1 1 . SIXTY MEN ATTEND SECOND Y. M. C. A. OPEN HOUSE LAST NIGHT More than sixty men were present at the second night of the Y. M. C.

CHANCELLOR TO GIVE RECEPTION SATURDAY Excellent Opportunity For New Students to Meet Faculty and Upperclassmen ANNUAL ADDRESS TUESDAY Chancellor and Mrs. Avery will give their annual reception to all stu dents tomorrow evening in Art hall, on the second floor of the library.

A cordial invitation is made to all students, freshmen and upperclassmen, to attend the re ception and became acquamtea witn the faculty. A large number of new students every year find the chancellor's re ception to be a gathering in which they become acquainted with more of the faculty and other students than in any other place. It is ex pected that because of the large number of freshmen this year the reception will be better attended than ever before. The chancellor will give his annual address to new students Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, in Memorial hall. This annual address brings out one of the largest gatherings of the year. The subject of this year's counsel has not yet been announced but will probably be known Monday COURSE IN MOTOGRAPHY FITS FOR WAR WORK Demand For Motion Picture Ex perts in Government Service A course in photography and mo tography will be given this year by the department of geography and conservation, designed for those who wish to enter the photographic divis ion of the war department. This course will thoroughly train students in the developing, assembling and projecting of motion pictures. The course is to be given at the request of the state conservation and welfare committee, of which Chan cellor Avery is a member. Credit of one or two hours will be given for work in this course and a registra tion fee of $5.00 will be charged. The University and state equip ment will be used for the field and laboratory work.

Stiehm were booked to meet Washburn college, Kansas Ag gies, South Dakota university, Michi gan Aggies. Ames Aggies and Iowa university. REGISTRATION FIGURES TAKE JUMPYESTERDAY Five Hundred Ten Register on Second Day Five Hundred Twenty-three a Year Agt SUPERVISION OF FRESHMEN Registration figures took a big jump yesterday and reached within 13 of the number who registered on the second day last year. Five hun dred ten students passed through all the registration machinery yesterday and paid their fees before the door3 closed at 5 o'clock last evening. The corresponding number last year was 523. The total number registered for the first two days this year is 799. The registration in the freshman class yesterday was heavier than that of last year, the sophomore3 were about the same as a year ago, while the junior and senior classes apparently will not be much more than half as large. A new feature in this year's regis tration is the freshmen supervision in charge o f the senior classes under the direction of the Innocents, the men's honorary senior organiza tion. The plan is to see that every freshman will have some senior to help him with his course and other problems which always confront new students. A record of the name, age, home town, address and course of the students are kept by the super visors. The one difficulty in the plan is the large number of freshmen and the unusually small number of sen iors. BIG BOOST IN NEBRASKAN SUBSCRIPTION LIST DALLY Eight-page Paper Will Be Issued Monday The subscription list for The Daily Nebraskan received a big boost yes terday. The co-eds who are handling the subscription books reported that a larger percentage of the students were giving their support yesterday than any other day since the cam paign began. A number of students left their subscriptions at the student activities' office and at the news of fice in the basement of University hall. The increased cost of materials as well as of labor this year makes It necessary that the subscription list be large. The Nebraskan will merit student support by supplying all Uni versity news regularly, five days in the week, notices and reports of all important meetings, the latest infor mation on all branches of sports and many special features. An eight-page edition of The Ne braskan will be issued Monday and a number of special editions will be out during the year. COUNCIL OF DEFENSE CALLS ATTENTION TO WHEAT SHORTAGE A very serious condition exists with regard to the winter wheat seed supply, and the nearness of the time for planting wheat makes the situa tion doubly acute. A great many farmers are reporting to the Nebras ka State Council of Defense t!iat they are unable to obtain seed ex cept at a figure far above that se by the government for this year's crop. Owing to this fact, the State Council of Defense has had to ar range for shipments of seed wheat into counties where there is on abundance of good seed ii. the hands of farmers, who, if they were willing to sell at a reasonable price, would relieve the local situation in their own county and neazby territory. The state council makes a very earnest appeal to holders of seed wheat that they sell at a figure based as nearly as possible on the government price. To make clear just what the fixed price on wheat means to those who are holders of (Continued on page three) NEBRASKAN FREE TO UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS Believing that Nebraska men actively engaged in the war are just as anxious for news from the campus as their former classmates are for word from them, the man agement cf The Nebraskan will send the paper free of charge to every Cornhusker soldier whose address is known. You can help by sending lists of addresses to The Nebraskan, either mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to the business offlce, B-2537.
