GREEKS ARE LOW
IN SCHOLARSHIP
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Wins Hain
er Cup Alpha Delta Pi
Leads Sororities.
Farm House Makes Highest Av-erag-e
Ever Reached by
Any Fraternity.
The scholarship report for the sec
ond semester of last year Issued sai
urday showed Sigma Alpha Epsilon
at the top of the national Greek
loiter nien'B organizations and Alpha
Dela Pi leading the sororities. The
scholarship standing, as a whole, was
lowered by the absence of older men
from school.
The Farm House made a record
that fHr exceeds that made by any
fraternity or sorority In the pat.
Eighty-five per cent or the grades of
Its members were above 80, and its
index number or weighted average
was 311.
The llainer cup, which is given to
the national Greek letter fraternity
,member of the lnter-fraternity coun
cil, which has the highest scholastic
average, is this year given to Sigma
Alpha Epsilon.
Lower thant Usual
While some fraternities did Quite
well there were very few that did
moderately well and the number at
the bottom was unusually large. The
scholarship among the men, both fra
ternity and non-fraternity- was lower
than usual, due to the fact that inany
of the older men had not yet re
turned from the war, and the conse
quent predominance of the younger
element.
The scholarship among the sorori
ties took a decided drop, while that
of the non-sorority women was the
highest yet attained by them.

HEW STRUCTURES ON
CAMPUS l!i SERVICE
Buildings Finest Examples of
Modern Educational Archi
tecture. While hundreds of University of
Nebraska students were enjoying the
cool breezes of the Minnesota lakes,
and others were in the midst of a
diligent summer employment, the
construction department at the uni
versity was working day and night
in order to have the new buildings
at the university entirely ready for
the swarm of students expected in
September.
The new social building, a beautiful
example of modern educational ar
chitecture, was opened for university
use immediately after Registration.
Although the walks and approaches
surrounding this and the teachers'
college building are yet in the pro
cess of construction, students are
overlooking this necessary delay, and
appreciating the fact that the build
ings are ready for occupation. The
new college of business administra
tion is housed on the third floor of
the social science structure, and the
second story is devoted to the de
partments of history, political science
and sociology. The building is built
primarily for room and sufficient
lighting facilities. The sky-light
system has been used with success
and with the large number of win
dows the building is most excellently

UNIVERSITY MAY
REACH SALVATION
ARMY DRIVE GOAL
Although the complete returns are
not in, reports of last week's salva
tion army drive indicate that the uni
versity has reached its $1,000 goal.
According to Irene Snuff, who was
in charge of the campaign, Alpha
Omicrom PI was far in the lead among
the sororities for amount of subscrip
tions. Delta Delta Delta was second
and Achoth third. The fraternities
had turned in no report late Saturday
night.
Miss Snuff had turned into head
quarters $718 Friday night and the
contributions Saturday increased that
amount by about $100. Complete re
turns will be in by Tuesday.
The military department of the
state university has received an addi
tion to its staff In Major John N.
Houser of the field artillery, United
States army who reported for duty to
Colonel William F. Morrison on Sep
tember 23.
Major Hauser is a native of New
York and was graduated from the
United States military academy, 1912,
and commissioned in the field artil
lery. Previous to the war he served
at Fort Sill, Okl., on the border and
in the Hawaiian Islands. During the
war he served with various field artil
lery organizations in the United
States and was sent to France for a
short iour of duty in the spring of
this year.
Major Hauser's university experi
ence consist? of one semester as a
student at Cornell university prior to
his admission to West PPoPint. His
last station was Columbia university,
New York city, where he has been
engaged in R. O. T. work since Feb
ruary except for the time spent
abroad.
It is expected that Mrs. Hauser and
her young son will arrive soon to join
Major Hauser. They are at present
in Dayton, Ohio, at the home of Mrs.
Hauser's mother.
The university keeps one man busy
looking after the keys and locks of
the institution. There are over 10,
000 'ocks to the university buildings.

FLIIiG UPHOLDS
WILSON'S WORK
Nebraska Historian Denounces
Work of Opposition Element
in Washington.
Tells of Difficulties Encountered
by President Wilson While
at Paris.
In his' first public address since
returning to Lincoln, Dr. Fling of the
European History department strong
ly denounced the attitude of the op
position element in Washington to
the work President Wilson was con
ducting while at the Peace Confer
ence in Paris. In speaking before
the teachers' Institute at the Lincoln
High School Auditorium Saturday
morning, Dr. Fling gave a very In
teresting account of some of the
things he came in touch with while
at the Peace Conference as delegate
from the war department, showing
the extreme difficulties under which
the president was working, with op
position from home continually bar
ring the way to the accomplishment
of his work.
Three times during the past eight
years, declared Professor Fling, the
rate of the world has rested on the
United States First in 1911, second
from 1914 to 1918 and now. In 1911
he charged, when France, England
and United States were about to
make a treaty that would have
averted the world war. members of
the foreign relations committee of
the United States senate actually
changed the context of the docu
ment in order to defeat it
There is no question, he skid, after
reading 6,000 years of history, but
that the world must organize to
insure peace, and as the people of
the United States are not "quitters
as soon as they wake up to the
realization that they must organize
with the rest of the world then we
will have a league of nations be
yond doubt

Season Tickets for Students
Will Go on Sale Tuesday
Scarlet and Cream to Meet Notre Dame, Ames, K. U. and Syracuse
Oornhusker Schedule Calls for Limit of Support from
Every Nebraskan
Student Season ticetks or fthe stiff
est home schedule Nebraska Univer
sity has ever faced will go on sale
Tuesday morning, September 30th,
and will last only four days, closing
Friday, October 4th. During this time
the Athletic Department expects to
dispose of at least 2,000 tickets, for
every student at the University who
has the slightest injection of Nebraska
spirit is going to stand behind the
team to the limit.
To encourage attendance, the Ath
letic department has decided to offer,
to all students, season tickets, which
include the four home games, for
four dollars. All other seats will be
two dollars per game or eight dollars
for the series. Another important
decision reached was that there will
be no charge for reservations, a3 in
the past. The center section on the
south side of the field will be re
served for students. This seccion
will only be open to those holding
student football tickets.
Students have the privilege of se
curing a season ticket at a very rea
sonable price, and an excellent seat
Uniformity on Bulletin Boards
Do Students Favor a Plan Whereby the Present Unsightly
Poster Plan Would be Replaced by a
Dignified Announcement Program?
What do students think of a uniform method of making annonnce
mentd on the bulletin boards? The present practice of vying with one
another in the size and vivid colors of these bulletins Is frequently
criticised by campus visitors and leads to unfair opinions. With this
thought in mind every young man and woman on the campus and every
student organization is asked to register answers to the following ques
tions with the Nebraskan. What is your decision?
. 1. Does the present method please you?
2 Would you like the fixing of a maximum size and shape for all
bulletins, the same to b all black lettering on white paper with no dec
orations? 3. Would you approve of this plan? All are to tAibmit their an
nouncements to eoro one university office for the week, some time
prior to Saturday noon of the preceding week. These announcements
would be arranged alphabetically under the days of the week. A plain
ly printed and dignified copy of the assembled program would be posted
early Monday mornicg on every bulletin board on the city and the farm
campus.
BUCK FOR STUDENT
DORMITORY SYSTEM
Dean Proposes erection of Uni
versity Housing Quarters With
Private Capital.
Thinks Time Has Come When
Students Cannot Be Cared
for by city
A movement to establish student
dormitories at the University of Ne
braska has been endorsed by Prof. Phl-
lo M. Muck, dean of the college of arts
and sciences. Dean Buck presented the
matter before a downtown business
club at a luncheon held at the com
mercial, club Friday. He proposed
that buBlnes's men of Lincoln erect dor
mitories close to the university cam
pus with private capital and rent them
to the university on a five or six per
cent rental basis.
"The city cannot house more
students than at present," the speak
er said. "Within a very few years the
attendance for the two semesters will
be 10,000 which cannot be cared for
under the present hit and miss plan."
Dean Buck said it was impossible
for the university to erect these build-
lnes. unless at the expense of other
departmei ts of the university which
ronld not afford to suffer. It was
essential, however, he said, that these
buildings be turned over to the con
trol of the university, which would
equip them and lease quarters to
students at cost.
Speaks Unofficially
Dean Buck told the club that he
spoke without any authorization of
the board of regents, but he was sure
that his proposition would be accept
able to university authorities.
The immediate need, he said, was
for two $100,000 units, which would
taek care of close to 400 women, now
In the worst need of accommodations.
Five hundred of the 1,400 women reg
istered are accommodated in soror
ities, he said.
"The University of Nebraska will

among the strongest supporters
of
football Nebraska has ever had.
Four of the best games on the
football schedule will be home games.
Notre Dame meets Nebraska here on
October ISth, and this game between
two strong teams, promises to be a
thriller. Ames will pit her strength
against Nebraska here on November
1st, and Kansas will be present on
Annual Homecoming Day, November
15th. The last game of the season
w ill be played on the home field with
a strong eastern team, Syracuse.
It is going to take all the pep and
ginger the student body can muster
up to put the team succesfully through
that series of games. It will take con
centrated attendance ai-.d concentrat
ed rooting. No one will le admitted
to the student section withou the reg
ular student season ticket, and thos'e
south bleacers that, have been re
served as the student section must ce
jam full at every game. That means
it's up to each and every one to beg,
borrow, steal, or scrape together in
some manner or other $4.00 before this
coming Friday night. "BUY A TICKET."

DRILLING SOON TO
BE IN FULL SWING
Measurements for Uniforms
Is
no Small Job Sizes Vary
Greatly.
Work in the military department is
rapidly rounding into shape under the
new system of drilling smaller units
of men during each class hour of the
day, and holding the regimental drill
once a week. Companies have been
formed at the arm campus, and at
both city and farm campuses, drill
sergcans have been selected to teach
the "rookies" the rudiments of what
it takes to be a good soldier. At the
earliest possible date there will be a
selection of officers and the regiment
will take a more definite form.
At the present time, however, the
taking of measurements for uniforms
is keeping the department continu
ally on the jump. The men regis
tered or the work have seemed, to
some extent, somewhat backward
about going through the necessar
rites of being measured, so as to be
sure of properly-fitting uniforms.
Added to this Is the great difference
in the size of the men, with shoes
ranging in sizes from threes to elev
ens, and waist measurements indicat
ing that both extremes of thin and
fat are included in this year's drilling.
The department urges that the re
maining five hundred or so who seem
somewhat backward fall in line nnd
be taped for their clothing.

BOUT ASSURED
Nebraska Oklahoma, Creighton
Marquette, at Rourke Park
October 25.
Announcement of Creighton Ac
ceptance to Double-Header
Made at Omaha Banquet.
October 2:, j be a bis day In tue
football history or Omaha. Announce
nu-nt was made at the 1'nlversity Club
smoker In Omaha Saturday nlcht
j which whs at twilled by Dr. J. T. Lin.,
(acting director of athletics; Coach
j Schulte. Assistant Coach Schissler,
j Hnd Captain Dobson, that a conn-act
t had been signed with llif (YeUhimi
university authorities to stage the
Creighton Marquette tootball game as
a preliminary 10 the Nebraska Okla
homa conflict. Rourke Park will he
the scene ol the great gridiron tourna
ment. University authorities feel that the
combination is the ideal arrangement.
It was feared that two football games
in Omaha on the same day on differ
ent fields would split the attention
and attendance. Under the present
agreement all tootball attention will
be focused on the one spot. The Uni
versity Club of Omaha is handling the
arrangements and will build tem
porary bleachers and additions to the
grand stand to accommodate 10.000
people.
One feature of the big carnival will
be the attedance ot the king and
queen of Belgium, if it can be ar
ranged. King Albert and his party
will be in Omaha on October 25 ac
cording to scnedule and will be In
vited to attend.
Tribute to Schulte
Vincent Haskell of the University
Club presided at the smoker and told
what he thought of the new Husket
coach In the following words
'I made a trip to Lincoln to see how
things were coming. There I saw a
he-man not a guy with kid gloves,
cane, and nicely tailored suit but a
he-man, charging, raging and stamp
ing about a man who was handling
men. I think we can trust this man
Schulte. He knows football."
Coach Schulte told those present
what he thought of conditions at Ne
braska. He said:
"I find here in Nebraska that you
people have been running sort of 011
one gear that is, you place too much
emphasis on football to the exclusion
of ether sports. 1 have been studying
my men at the university and I can
say that there should not only be one
sport emphasized, but four..
"Baseball, basketball and track are
just as assured ot success on a wide
scale as tootball. 1 look for the time
to come when the University ot Ne
braska will be the biggest and great
est all-around athletic school in the
country."
Dr. Lees explained to the alumni
the changes that had taken place In
the organization of the athletic de
partment at the university during the
summer. He explained that the de
partments of physical education and
athletics wlvch had hiiherto been sep
arate organizations were now united
under one head. In September, 1920.
Fred W. Leuhring, athletic director at
Princeton w ill head Hie department at
Nebraska. Schissler and Dobson also
spoke.
Formidable Iowa Reports
The battle with the Hawkeyes at
Iowa City this coming Saturday will
be more than an ordinary scrimmage.
Both Iowa and the Huskers are lay
ing claim to powerful teams. Reports
from the enemy camp state that
Coach Jones has had his first team
picked for over a week and the ma
chine tuned up in fine shape.
If reports are accurate, the two
teams stand about fifty-fifty on beef.
Iowa claims their line will average
190 pounds, while the Cornhuskei
minimum estimaate is 185 pounds.
The first team which has been se
lected bv Coach Jones and which w ill
probably face the Nebraskans is:
ends, Charlton and Belding; tackles.
onrt slater: guards, Hunzle-
man and Mockmore; quarterback.
Kelley; halves, the Devine brothers;
fullback. Captain Lohman.
The return of Sam Kellogg tc the
Husker squad shot a little more "pep"
into the dope box. It is now felt that
the material with which Coach
Schulte will construct the Nebraska
steam roller is complete and U only
requires a little firing np to get net
into action. The firing up will be
conducted intensively this week ana
behind closed gates. There will o
a "no admittance except on business
sign tacked up all around the athletic
field. And Thursday night tney wiu
leave for Iowa City.
