STUDENT SUPPORT
Urges Loyal Oornhuskera to Be
Present at Dodge Games
STUDENT TICKETS VALID
Hugg, 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
be 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 support 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 be 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 of making a good
showing. This fact alone is enough
to Justify the turnout of a record
crowd.
These games will be of particular
to Nebraskans, because the Dodge
team includes three former Corn-
fcusker 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 starj Rector of Dart
mouth, all-Eastern man, known nation
ally as one of the best centers the
game has ever produced; and Swen
son 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 Huskers 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 score will be close. -
Another point Is that all proceeds
of the game are to go to the athletic

seniors and the sophomores against
the freshmen. The final contest whon

scheduled for Phi Beta Kiippa day, the
last of March.
Tho chairmen of the class commit
tees are: G. V. Lundraark, senior;
Goorgo Driver. Junior; Myron Gillette,

Positions for Psychologists
The dean of the graduate school of
education has a call for two psycho
logical examinations or intelligence
testors for permanent employment in
large city schools. Anyone prepared
for such work should report at once.

Arioso Bach.
Sonata in A Major Handel.
Canto Amoroso Sammarinti-El-mann.
Valse Bluette Drigo-Auer.

will accompany on the piano.
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 beads 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. . SO - far as 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 rendering 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 Upiversity 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 his
office.
