The Daily Nebraskan VOL. XVII, NO. 88. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 31. 1918. PRICE FIVE CENTS STEWARTflSKSFOfi STUDENT SUPPORT Urges Loyal Gornhuskers to Be Present at Dodge Games STUDENT TICKETS VALID Hugo, Campbell and Nelson, Ex Husker Basketball Captains All On Fast Team Dr. E. J- Stewart, head of the ath letlc department, Is asking that every loyal Nebraska man and woman come out to the Basketball games with the Camp Dodge soldier team on Friday and Saturday of this week. Coach Stewart has several facts upon which he bases this plea for a full gym at these games. In the first place, It will involve no extra cost for those students who have purchased students' athletic tickets, for these tickets will admit to these games as well as to the regu lar collegiate games on the schedule. For those who have no season tickets, the admission will be only 15 cents, with no reserve seats. These terms were made because the small crowd that witnessed the game with Funs ton proved that the students cannot afford to Bupport the team at higher prices. And the team needs this sup port badly. Nebraska Handicapped Next week the squad leaves to play Washington and Missouri, two of the very best teams In the Missouri Valley conference. ' The games Friday and Saturday will he the last chance for the student body to prove that they are back of the team, and the better the send-off given them, the better the chances ot making a good showing. This fact alone Is enough to Justify the turnout of a record crowd. These games will be of particular to Ncbraskans, because the Dodge. team includes three former Corn husker basketball captains, Campbell, Nelson and Hugg; who are well known In University circles. ' Besides these men, the list of players . includes Ban nick, all-Iowa star; Rector of. Dart mouth, all-Eastern man, known nation ally as one of the best centers the game has ever produced; and Swen Bon of Minnesota, a guard who was heartily respected by all forwards of the western conference last year. This team now claims to be the best in this section of the country, and will show a fast brand of basketball. While the Hnskers have little hopes of winning the game with their crippled squad, they will nevertheless put up a strong fight, and are promis ing that the scor' "ill be close. Another point Is that all proceeds of the game are to go to the athletic (Continued on page two) CLASSES TO DEBATE .

UNIVERSITY HEAD WILL LEAVE TOM Chancellor Avery Responds to Government Call HASTINGS TAKES CHARGE Dean of Law College to Be Acting Executive Until Next September Chancellor Avery leaves this after noon for Washington, D. C, where he will enter into war work In the gov ernment's chemical laboratories. Chan cellor Avery was granted leave of ab sence some time ago by the University board of regents, to extend till Sep tember first of this year. He expects to be back In the University by that time, although it may be necessary to continue his leave to cover a still longer time. Chancellor Avery's place will be ' at once taken by Dean W. G. Hastings, present head of the law college. Besides acting as chancel lor, Dean Hastings will continue his work in the law school. This temporary change in school heads will not introduce any changes of note into the affairs of the University. The same policies will be adhered to, and projects already started will be car ried through Just as planned. Goes at Government Request hancellor Avery was selected to work with the government both be cause of his experience and skill as a chemist, and because of the executive ability he has shown in managing the Affair, of this school. . Sb-far aa is known, his duties will not consist of much chemistry work, but will be of rather an executive nature. He goes at the personal request of Professor Boger of Columbia university, who is in charge of all the work, and his ap pointment is considered a very high honor. Besides renCerlng valuable service to the government, Chancellor Avery will doubtless receive no little enjoy ment from his" new task. He is of course deeply interested in chemistry, and will be enabled to .watch the re sults of very Interesting and moment ous experiements. At the same time, it will serve as a change from the routine of Uplversity work. It will be the first vacation the Chancellor has had since summer before last, and should give him a much needed rest from the cares and duties of hla office.
