Scenario Writing at Illinois
A course in scenario writing may be
offered at the University of Illinois.
Many of the members of the English
department think that such a course
would be advantageous but that it
should not be introduced for some
time.
Kansas A movement Is on foot to
erect a memorial tablet in honor of
Lieut. W. T. Fitzsimmons, '12, the first
University man to fall in battle since
the entrance of this country into the
war..
Wisconsin The freshmen, out-numbering
and out-scrapping the sophs,
won out in the annual class sack rush
by a score of 8 to 5. The battle was
fair and clean throughout from the
sportsmanship viewpoint, but a muddy
field made the majority of the partici
pants unrecognizable after the first
two minutes of the fray.
Yale The sophomore class has col
lected $7742.50 and secured pledges for
$214.50 more toward the purchase of
a Liberty Bond. A spirited canvass
will continue with the aim of securing
$1,000 as soon as possible.

terday morning at 11 o'clock in Mem
orial hall. Coach E. J. Stewart, Ex
ecutive Dean C. C. Engberg, Assistant
Coach Owen Frank and Prof. It. D.
Scott, were the speakers. Ivan Beede

"I can't give you any too hopeful
views of Saturday's game," Dr. Stew
art said. "I wish I could. Nebraska
would win prestige by defeating Mich
igan. Michigan has won the six
games it has played -this-season. -1
hope you folks feel about the game
next Saturday as I do. I feel that it
is the big game of the year."
"You folks at home can do as much
to win the game Saturday as the team
can," he continued. "Gather in the
Armory, let the team know they have
your support every minute."
Dean Engberg expressed approval of
the attitude of University students in
regard to football. "If there was ever
a time when those men need courage
ft is right now," he continued. "They
need to be made to feel that we ex
pect them to come back with Michi

racks, which are wooden buildings of
two stories with only one room to a

divided in the middle one half being

the center of the room clear up to the
stove. The room that we are allowed

neighbors it isn't'always as quiet as it
might be.
We are awakened in the morning
by the bugle at 5:45. Woe be to the

are given ten minutes to dress, and
dress here means dress, believe me.
You can't go around with your shirt
unbuttoned, buttons off or any thing
of the kind. Then the bugle sounds
again and you rush out in the dark

few minutes, you are given about fif

After breakfast you are to act as your

domicile, etc. About 7 o'clock you are
marched about a mile and a half for
morning drill. That lasts until noon
when you are run back thoroughly

MAY OMIT VACATIONS AT
CHRISTMAS AND EASTER
Probable That Full Vacation
Will Not Be Authorized by
Board of Regents
Following the recommendation of
the educational conference, held Mon
day, the University authorities are
considering plans by which -students
may be released at least two or three
weeks early in the spring. No definite
decision has been reached as yet, but
there is some thought of omitting one
week of the Christmas holiday and all
of the -Easter recess to make this
possible. It is believed that there will
be practically as much need on the
farms for help in the spring as at
present and that the University would
be rendering a needed service by fol
lowing some such plan as the above:
The regents have taken no action
on the cornhusking vacation since the
meeting of the conference, but it is
not likely that the University will be
closed for all students. Those students
who wish to leave to help will be
given furloughs and all possible aid
by both faculty and executive depart
ment in making up their work. The
early date set for the mid-semester ex
aminations will make it possible for
them to complete one period of the
year's work before leaving and thus
help in keeping their records clear.
PLEHN ELECTED BUSINESS
MANAGER OF AGRICULTURE
Nearly Forty Students at Second Ag
Club Meeting Last Night Dean
Burnett Speaks
Kenneth Plehn, '20, was elected
business manager of Agriculture at a
meeting of the Ag club held in the
Temple last night. By a unanimous
vote it was decided to purchase a
liberty bond. Nearly forty students
were present.
Dean E. A. Burnett in a short talk
told of the-shortage of help and the
causes. He stated that it was not
only due to the men at the front, but
a great deal of it was caused by the
decrease in the number of immigrants.
At a recent meeting the following
officers were elected: President,
C. Graw, '18; vice-president, Ralph
Thorpe, '19; treasurer, W. F. Roberts,
18; secretary. H. Bigelow, '19; sar-geant-at-arms,
H. Jensen, '20; editor

will be held November 10.
Tickets for Ag club dance to be held
at the Lincoln, November 2 will go on
sale to Ag students today and will be

CRUCIAL TEST OF SEASON
FACES HUSKERS TOMORROW
Squad of Nineteen Men Leaves
for Michigan
GAME CENTER OF INTEREST
Standing of Cornhuskers After Season
Depends on Outcome Eckersall
Recognizes Team
Nineteen men including two crip
ples composed the squad that Coach
Stewart hustled to the train yesterday
afternoon to" Michigan for the battle
with the Wolverines Saturday. But a
small handful of students were at the
depot to cheer the men as they left
for the season's crucial battle. Fol
lowing is the list of men who were
taken as members of the squad: Cap
tain Shaw, Riddell, Wilder, Day, Kosit
zky, Hubka, Rhodes, Dobson, Schel
lenberg, McMahon, Cook, Otoupalik,
Kellogg, Munn, DuTeau, L. Shaw,
Young, Teter, Kriemelmeyer and
Anthes.
There was an air, half of confidence
and half of fear about the party as it
left. Most of the men were willing to
say that they would be on the winning
end of the score when the game was
finished Saturday but all of them
agreed that it would be one big fight
from beginning to end.
A brief practice was held on Ne
braska field early in the afternoon and
from there the men were hurried into
their street clothes and to the depot.
With the exception of a short signal
drill on Stagg field at Chicago univer
sity this morning that will be the last
workout the men will have until they
meet the Wolverines.
The Probable Lineup
The probable lineup of the team as
it takes the field Saturday will be as
follows. Hubka and Rhodes, ends;
Shaw and Munn, tackles; Kositzky
and Wilder, guards; Cook, center;
Schellenberg and McMahon, halfbacks
and Dobson and Day, fulbacks. Young,
DuTeaur Otoupalik, -Kellogg, Shaw and.
Kriemelmeyer will be the probable
substitutes if any are needed. Kriem
elmeyer, a giant guard was declared
eligible by Dean Engberg Just before
the train time. He will prove a valu
able man if either of the first string
guards are Injured.'
Center of Interest
The Nebraska-Michigan game will
be the center of football interest
throughout the country tomorrow.
The standing of the Cornhuskers at
the end of the season will depend
more on the outcome of this game
than on any other one on the schedule
not excepting the Syracuse game on
Thanksgiving day. Walter Eckersall
has conceded to notice the Nebraskans
this week and has already passed his
Judgment on Schellenberg, declaring
him a better man at carrying the ball
than Chamberlain.
Secure Large Collection
For January Art Exhibit"
Forty pictures by Jonas Lie, the fa
mous artist of New York city, have

the exhibition of last year. Other pic
tures by him which-have been shown
by the department are "The Nor
wegian," "The Village" and "Sun
light." The proceeds of the exhibition will
go to Red Cross.

training prescribed for all men in col
lege this year require dril two times
each week from 3:30 to 6 o'clock, be
sides classes in tactics.
