PROFESSOR HESSELBERG
GIVES PIANO RECITAL
Regent Miller Urges Students
to Invest in War Thrift
Stamps
Professor Hesselberg of the Univer
sity School of Music gave a piano
recital at convocation at 11 o'clock
.yesterday at the Temple theatre.
During the intermission In the pro
gram Regent Miller urged the stu
dents to Invest their money in the
saving certificates.
He explained that there are two
kinds, both yielding interest. The
thrift stamps may be bought one at a
time for 25 cents each. These are
put in a folder for that purpose and
when there are sixteen the folder can
be taken to the postofflce or any bank.
Interest is compounded on these every
three months. If they are turned in
before February first the holder will
receive a certificate for $5 maturing
in five years. The war savings cer
tificate may be obtained at the post
office or any bank. When the folder
Is full it may be changed for a large
stamp. If it is paid in February the
holder pays 12 cents, if in March, he
Pays 13 cents and so on. The money
can be realized on by giving ten days
notice. They mature in five years.
The audience enjoyed Professor
Hesselberg's playing very much, par
ticularly the Sonata Appassionate.
Because of the interruption the pro
gram was changed and the following
given:
America My Counrty Hesselberg
Sonata Appassionate Beethoven
Allegro Assal
Andante con moto
Allegro ma mon troppo
Romance Rubenstein
Toreador Rubenstein

PLAGES STILL OPEN ON
BASKETBALL SQUAD
Success of Season Depends
Upon Support of Men at
Present Time
The need of men tor the basketball
squad continues to cause the coach a
great deal of worry. Yesterday's prac
tice saw only twenty men out, while
according to the coach there are places
on the squad for at least fifty.
The success of the team this year
may depend entirely upon the way in
which the men respond to the coach's
call for candidates. At least, it is
almost certain that the team will not
be up to standard unless more men get
out soon. The team is already severe
ly handicapped by the lack of men
from last year's team, and this short
age of new material to draw from may
permanently cripple Nebraska's
chances. Practice was started later
than usual this year, and Nebraska is
Just beginning the season when some
schor.ls have already started playing
their practice games. Consequently,
there will be less time for preparation
and any delay caused by a dearth of
candidates is likely to prove extremely
costly. There are now less than four
weeks of practice left before the first
game, and the varsity is scarcely be
yond the scrub stage of development.
Enough men were out yesterday to
form two varsity and two freshmen
teams, and these teams took turns at
mixing it with each other. The games
were at first holly contested, but in
the last few minutes the varsity found
their stride and showed a little real
form. One of the new varsity candi
dates out is "Dusty" Rhodes, captain
elect of next year's football team.
While Rhodes has had but little ex
perience, he is rather fast, in excel
lent condition, and may develop into a
first class guard.

ols, led by the University chorus. The
words for each carol will be shown on
a screen.
The inside program which has been
prepared will consist of Christmas mu
sic, readings and songs. Something
especially worth while has been pre
pared for this part of the entertain
men. Following the main part of the
program inside every one wW be
given little Christmas boxes of re
freshments, just as they used to get
at the little services "back home."
The committee have been keeping the
refreshment plans entirely to them
selves, but rumors of nuts, popcorn
and apples and the like have leaked

INNOCENTS ASK
ACTION ON PROM
Pass Resolution Urging Junior
Class to Drop Formal
Aspects
Resolutions urging the members of
the junior class to change their decis
ion made earlier in the year to go
ahead with the customary formal prom
despite sentiment in the University
against such social extravagances,
were passed last evening by the Inno
cents society.
At the class meeting when the fate
of the prom was first discussed consid
erable opposition to a formal affair
developed, but the class voted in the
end to give it anyway. Since that time
sentiment against formal parties and
unnecessary social expenditures of all
kinds has been steadily growing. In
their resolutions the Innocents point
out that the Junior prom Is the only
formal social event scheduled for this
war-time season, and call attention to
the recommendations of the Interfra-
ternity and Pan-Hellenic councils that
all formal features be removed from
University parties.
Following is the resolution:
"Believing that University students
can best comply with the spirit of
economy now asked of the American
people by the elminiation of extrava
gance in social affairs, and noting
tthat the Interfraternity council, the
Pan-Hellenic council, and those faculty
members having supervision of stu
dent affairs, have all recommended
that formal carties be abolished, and
noting also that the Junior prom Is
being planned contrary to these
recommendations.
"Be it resolved,
"That the Innocents society urges
that the members of the Junior class
take action to make their party con
form to the expressed spirit of the
University in regard to social extrava
gances. "THE INNOCENTS."
