ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Large Number Hear This Noted
Speaker at Temple
LOCAL SOCIETY IN CHARGE
Fundamental Laws and Principle, of
the Science Explained in Clear
Interesting Manner
Tb annual lecture of the Univer
sity Christian Science society was
-i. in the Temple theatre Saturday
night ly Virgil O. Strlckler, C. S. B.
Mr Striker is a member of the
board of lectureship of the Mother
Church, the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. Mass.
' Mr Strkkler is an alumnus of the
University of Virginia. He took up
the study of Christian Science In New
York City and soon attained promi
nence ia that movement in the me
tropolis He is now in his seventh
vear as a member of the authorized
lecture board of the International
Christian Science organization.
Mr Strkkler in his lecture said:
As it peconies more generally under
stood that through the ministry of
Christian Science people are being
healed of sickness, sin. unhappiness,
worry, fear, and other discordant con
ditions, there is an ever-increasing
desire upon the part of the general
nubile to- learn how these results are
accomplished, it is the purpose of
this lecture to explain how Christian
Science does these thing?. There Is
no mystery about Christian Science
healing, nor is it difficult to under
stand. It can be stated without any
reservation whatever that every per
son who is willing to do so may learn
how to heal sickness and to destroy
the desire to sin for himself and
othere throrgh Christian Science.
Many Different Religions Beliefs
It is said that there are more than
two hundred different kinds of the
Christian religion alone, not to men
tion of hundreds of other forms of
religions that are not Christian. It
is a fact that people do entertain
widely different religious beliefs. In
many instances the differences are

conceded that, in the main, all people
are equally honest and equally sin
cere in their religious pcliefs. The
only reason why they are grouped
together in different forms of relig
ions is because they honestly be

which they so earnestly desire.
As ono considers the supject of re-

becomes entirely plain that most of
the people in the world are believing
as their religion many things that are
hoi true,
Every one will recognize not only
the desirability, but the necessity, of
exchanging false and erroneous be
liefs about religious matters for posi
tive troth. In no other way can he
Rrow spiritually.
True religion consists of spiritual
truth, and not of erroneous beliefs;
hence It follows that one's religion is
limited to the amount of spiritual
truth be knows, and that erroneous
religious beliefs are only ho many de
lusions that serve no other purpose
than to obstruct spiritual growth.
ChriHtian Science aims to destroy
erroneous religious beliefs, by substi
tuting a knowledge of truth in place
theroof, and to destroy out of the hu
man mind all evil qualities by plant
ing good qualities In their stead. It
wages relcntlPFs warfare against all
wrong mental qualities. It seeks to
substitute love in place of hate, un
selfishnens in place of selfishness, hon

IOWA COLLEGE HAS NOVEL
PLAN FOR HELPING STUDENTS
In order to meet the requirements
of the farmer who hitherto has had to
break away when harvest help was
scarce in order to enter school on time
and be still at work in the spring when
he as not needed, the Iowa State col
lege has adopted a new plan whereby
a student may enter school In the
middle of November adn be released
at the end of March. The students
thus enrolled may, if they choose,
classify in the regular work the next
semester in February, or they may
continue their work In the special
course. They take only half of the
work, but they take it twice as fast.
More than a hundred took advantage
of the semester opening last Monday,
the entire enrollment being in the de
partments of Home Economics, Ani
mal Husbandry and Agricultural En
gineering. A great deal of this suc
cess is due to publicity given the new
semester. Forty thousand copies cf
advertising matter sent over the state
of Iowa. It is the first time a school
has ever triad a plan like this and its
great success so far leaves hardly a
doubt but that it will be adopted in
other agricultural communities.
LAST OF DIRECTORIES
TO BE SOLD TODAY
Fifty Remaining Books Left On
Tables on Campus Take
One and Leave Money
The fifty student directories which
remained out of the 1.230 that were
printed will be left on tables at vari
ous places on the campus this morn
ing and those who wish them may take
the book and leave the twenty-five
cents in the box that is also on the
table. These are the last directories
that may be obtained this year as no
more will be printed. There are
twelve leather-covered directories
which will be sold at the same time.
The Y. M. C. A. wishes to express
its appreciation for the help which the
girls who have managed the sale on
the campus have given them. For the
last three days of the week co-eds had
charge of four tables on the city cam
pus and one table at the farm campus.
Satisfaction with the directory is
being expressed over the campus. It
is more complete and more accurate
this year than before, and for this
reason practically every copy was
sold the first two days that they were
on sale.

UNIVERSITY CADET BAND
FORMS ORGANIZATION
Purpose It to Further Greater
Unity Among Members
Dwight Thomas President
The University band, following a
plan started last year, has completed
an organization to be known as "The
University of Nebraska Cadet Hand
Association." The main purpose of
this organization is to create a greater
spirit of unity among the members of
the band than can be gained through
the military organization alone. The
officers for this year are, president,
Dwight Thomas; vice-president, H. It.
Anderson; secretary, Bure Newman;
treasurer, L. H. Redelfs.
Last year when the plan was sug
gested for such an organization, it
was greeted heartily and officers were
elected. The association went but lit
tle farther than that at that time. This
year, however, it is the purpose of
the officers and members to see that
the organization is effective, that reg
ular meetings are held and that the
business of the band is discussed be
fore the organization as a whole.
The band has been one of the livest
and most useful organizations in the
TTniverslty for a number of years. It
has been as much a part of football
games and rallies almost, as the team
itself, and it has been the band that
has been the first number on the pro
gram of University week every year,
leaving the people in the towns visited
eager to see what would follow.
Not a little of the credit that is due
the band must be given to Dr. C. B.
Cornell, the director, personally. Sev-
i.1 years ago he took charge of the
band, when it was little more than a
disgrace to the school. By insisting
on certain principles and by a little
tact applied at the right time, he has
produced an organization which, as
has often been remarked by citizens
of the towns visited by the band, is a
real credit to and the best advertise
ment they have seen for the Univer
sity. At the beginning of the present year
there were rumors that the band
would be removed from the military
department, but no definite action has
been taken along that line. Later un
authorized statements are to the ef
fect that the long established custom
of having commissioned officers in
the band, may be taken away thta
year. Any such action as this is sure
to bring emphatic protests if not more
from the band members.
Following are the officers appoint
ed by the military department for the
present year: Captain, Leslie Ellis;
first lieutenants, Dwight Thomas and
Earl Wilson; second lieutenant, Allan
J. Sutherland.

THE RED TRIANGLE
An Appeal in Behalf of the Campaign
to Raise $35,000,000 for Y. M. C. A.
War Work
(By Daniel M. Henderson, Author of
"The Road to France")
Lift up the Red Triangle
Beside the thundering guns
A friend, a shield, a solace,
To our ten million sons!
Go build a hut or dugout
By billet or by trench
A shelter from the borror,
The cold, the filth, the stench!
Where boys we !ve, returning
From out the gorl loam
Can sight the Red Triangle
And find a bit of home!
Lift up the Red Triangle
'Gainst things that mar and maim;
It conquers Booze, the wrecker!
It kills the House of Shame!
Go make a friendly corner,
So lads can take the pen
And get in touch with mother
And God's clean things again!
Where Hell's destroying forces
Are leagued with Potsdam's crew,
Lift up the Red Triangle
And help our boys "come through"!

CORNHUSKERS CINCH
YALLEY CHAMPIONSHIP
Avenge Defeat of Last Year
13 to 3
KANSAS SCORES BY KICK
Cook, Hubka, Dobson and Shaw Star
For Nebraska RiddeJI Is Injured
In First Few Minutes
By Dwight P. Thomas
Lawrence, Kan., November 17. Ne
braska cinched the Missouri Valley
football championship here this after
noon by defeating Kansas 13 to 3 in
a bitterly fought game. The one big
feature of the battle was the double
quick of the Cornhuskers in the sec
ond half with the score against them.
Cook, Dobson, Hubka and Shaw were
the Nebraska stars.
Cook was the chief ground gainer
during the period that gave Nebraska
her first score. He carried the ball 55
yards in the 80 yard march from Ne
braska's 20 yard line to the Kansas
goal, making the score on a pretty
thirty yard run. Hubka's bull line
plunges were factors in Nebraska's
second score, which came without los
ing the ball after the kick-off follow
ing the first Cornhusker score. Cap
tain Shaw, although repeatedly injured
was the mainstay of the Nebraska de
fense, breaking through the Jayhawk
ers' line and stopping play after play.
Wilder, Kositzky and Dobson shone
at various points in the game. Schel
lenberg was gang-tackled every time
he carried the ball, but was good for
a small gain whenever called on. Bill
Day cinched himself a place on the
Missouri Valley eleven by his great
defensive work. The Kansas score
was made on a place kick in the sec
ond quarter. The Jayhawkers failed
to get close enough to the Nebraska
sroal to threaten a touchdown.
The First Quarter
The first quarter of the game was
chiefly a punter's battle with forward
pass and an end run interspersed now
and then. Dobson managed to hold
his end of this game in fine shape and
the ball went back and forth with the
edge a little in favor of Nebraska.
A fumble or so broke rather bad for
the Huskers in this quarter, and Rld
dell and Cook were injured, Itlddell
being forced to leave the game. A for
ward pass from Dobson to Schellen
berg netted fifteen yards. Dobson
broke up two forward passes in this
quarter, one of them that went over
the goal line and the other which gave
Kansas a five yard loss.
Score, Nebraska 0, Kansas 0.
The Second Quarter
In the second quarter Kansas punt
ed and the ball went over Nebraska's
goal line for a touchdown and the ball
was put in play on the twenty yari
line. After Schellenberg, Dobson and
Otoupalik had made several good gains
on line plunges, Kansas won the ball
on downs and carried the ball to Ne
braska's 17 yard line. At this point
Lonborg made Kansas' only score by
a kick from, the 25 yard line.
Score, Kansas 3, Nebraska 0.
On the next kick-off Cook returned
twenty-three yards. Time for the first
half was called after a number of lin?
bucks by both teams and an exchange
of punts. Nebraska was in possession
of the ball on their forty yard line.
The Third Quarter
Nettles kicked off for forty-fiv.1
yards and Schellenberg returned four
teen. Dobson and Foster exchanged
punts and the ball went over Nebras
ka's goal line for a second touch-back
