a close race In the Junior claas
was the feature of class elections
yesterday, when Clarence E. Swan
son won out by a majority of oaiy
20 out of a total vote of 264. Harold
B. Porterfleld proved to be the dam
horse of the election, polling a vote
that considerably cut the lead of me
other two candidates.
In the freshman class, Turner Tefft
of Lincoln had a walkaway, with a
majority of over 300 votes over his
nearest political competitor. An fln
usually heavy vote was cast in the
first year clas, 700 being the total
number of freshman ballots dropped
in the ballot box.
The seniors and sophomores seem
ed to have lost interest in political
matters, only one candidate filing for
each presidency. A suggestion lor
what might have turned out a hotly
contested race appeared when ballots
for the sophomores were counted. An
exceedingly large number of the yw
low slips were found to have the
name of another candidate written
on them, but these ballots were uoi
counted in the election, since only
one candidate had filed before ihe
time was up. Dorothy Wolfe auto
matically became sophomore presi
dent, polling 32 ballots. Being the
only one to file, Carolyn Reed se
cured senior presidency with a total
of seven votes.
Political Machines Active
Political machines were active dur
ing every minute the polls were open
and there was hardly a time uie
whole day that the space m -at
of the Armory was not crowded with
vote-getters. Hearty handshakes,
friendly advice, pleasant smiles and
assuring glances all had their place
and were employed with a rest and
persistence that would cast shaaows
over many a professional. The an
nual Lincoln-Omaha battle for first
year president was very evident,
Lincoln coming out on top.
H. C. L. AT COLLEGE
Remember the good old days when
a nickel shoved across the counter
brought a large dipperful of ice cream
amply covered with syrup? Remem
ber when seat? for two at the movies
only required the outlay of 10 cents?
"Two bits" will no longer satisfy the
aching void of the student finishing a
morning or afternoon round of
classes. And finding a room for a
dollar a week is an attempt at the
Impossible.
The majority of the students on the
campu today will not be able to
count these days of low prices aa an
enjoyable part of their college ex
periences, for the aviation tendencies
of prices began four or five years
ago.
However, the biggest rise has been
within the last year, and for 'hat
reason the situation has created
more notice and comment as the
strain on pocketbooks increased.
Holders of the pocketbooks may
complain at the rise, but nevcHhe
less at the same time they are con
tinually demanding more improved
commodities on which to spend their
money. Consider the case of the
student's expenditures for luxuries.
When dopes were a nickel, they were
minus whipped cream and nuts, and
the movies of the same day proceed
ed on their flickering way without
the harmonious strains of an organ
or professional orchestra. And yet
mere observation will show that the
greater the additions and refine
ments, the greater the popularity.

Medical Dollar
Students
Big and Little Ills Cared for By
New Medical Fee
Do you remember that dollar that
you paid at the time of registrar
for medical fee? Or by that time
had you become reconciled to the
fact that it was "not yours to reason
why" and didn't even notice that you
were paying such a fee?
This is the story of what that dol
lar is doing and what it will con
tinue to do. A dispensary has been
established at the university and your
dollar is helping pay the expenses.
It seems a very small sum viewea w
the light of what it may do for you
and for your fellow students.
The next time you have a sore
throat and think it is too small a
matter to pay any attention to, don't
let it drag on until you have the
"flu" or pneumonia.
Go to the dispensary. The regis
tered nurse who is on duty there all
the time will tell you if there is a
doctor in who can give you attention,
and if there is none, will call one so
that you may be given attention. If
a prescription is written for you after
your case has been diagnosed, take it
to the regent's drugstore on the floor
below, and it will be filled at cost.
If you simply want advice, It also
will be furnished at .ne dispensary.
Reliable physicians In the city will
be recommended if the students pre

RALLY THURSDAY
FOR GOPHER TRIP
Students Will Gather for Pep
Meet Band to Be on
. Hand
Saturday's Game With Minnesota
WUI Be a Stiff Pro
position A rally to give the team . a boost
for the Minnesota game is scheduled
for convocation hour Thursday. The
game with the Gophers next Satur
day is going to require everything in
the way of pep, push, steam, and
ginger that can be uncovered, and it
is for the purpose of giving the team
a send-off that will make every man
fight just a little bit harder that this
pep meeting has been called.
The cadet band will be on hand to
put vim into everyone, and a number
of well-known university men will
speak. In years gone by, when Ne
braska was still in the Mtssoun
Valley Conference, a game with a
Bchool of the calibre of Minnesota
was the big game of the season, and
if the Cornhusker aggregation is go
ing to come out at the long end of
the score, it will take everything the
team can muster plus all the spirit
and push and pep the school can
gather. Minnesota, with one of the
strongest teams in years, has made
plans to clean up everything. That
means a real Job cut out for Ne
braska. The only excuse for missing
out on Thursday's rally is an eleven
o'clock class. That means "Every
body out Thursday morning.'.

in Many Ways
fer their services to those offered by
the new medical department.
The dispensary is on the second
floor of Pharmacy hall. It is open at
all times during the day. Dr. Inez
Philbrick is there every day from
1 to 3. Dr. A. H. Webb's hours are
from 8 to 10 daily. The service of
the nurse and the registered pharma
cist are at the disposal of the svu
dents at any time. Every freshman
must take an examination at the dis
pensary. They will be started in a
short time. This examination has
nothing to do, however, with the ex
aimnation given by the physical edu
cation deparment. Any other student
who wishes an examination will be
given it.
There is nothing compulsory about
the new medical service. It has been
instituted solely for the service of
the students. Most large schools
have similar service, many on a more
extended scale, and, consequently,
with a lareer fee attached. One
case already taken care of by the dis
pensary is that of a student who was
found to have appendicitis, caused
by a gangrenous appendix.
There are emergency beds Tor
those who meet with accident on the
campus. The new dispensary is
ready to give medical advice of any
nature. So far there have been
from eight to ten calls each day, but
many more can be taken care of.

CLAIRE McKIIINON
SPEAKS TO GIRLS
A Discussion of New Develop
ments of Christianity at
Y W. C. A. Vespers
A discussion of the new develop
ments of Christianity by Miss Claire
McKinnon and a piano solo by Miss
Sylvia Withers featured the Y. W. C.
A. vespers yesterday. The devotional
exercises were led by Miss Mabel
MacAdam.
Miss McKinnon spoke of the chang
es in our inner selves, which the war
brought to everyone whether a sol
dier, a canteen worker, a munition
factory employee or Just a school
girl. She said that before the war
Christianity meant to many of us
"Join church, attend Sunday echooj
and church, help the poor, and Just be
good." Now people are praying mun
deeply and thinking more deeply.
"Perhaps it has come to us thar we
shall have to interpret our lives very
differently." This statement was il
lustrated by the experience of a trav
eling secretary. She was very uuch
interested in teaching patriotism to
our foreign born citizens. She visitod
a school in a mining district and uf
ter a talk on patriotism taught the
children to give three cheers to me
flag. In a year she returned to that
locality and visited the home of one
of these children. In the middle of
the room was a United States flag sup
ported by two chairs. The lady ex
plained, "You said to give three
'cheers' to the flag. We have Just
two 'cheers so we thought maybe
that would be enough. Is that all
right?" The secretary replied that It
was.
"We must have knowledge In oroer
to do right." We must know about
the life of Jesus. The time Is past
when we can be content with Just do
ing our bit . . . Perhaps we shall
have to realise that we are a pan or
a living organism which is moving
onward and upward."
Miss McKinnon told of a Chinese

the country has been flooded with
new material and old. Ex service
men have flocked back. Everything
In college life, sportB especially are
riding back to their own on a full
t;de. The unknown quantity which
makes predictions difficult is the
quantity tind quality of the new ma
terial. Minncso'n, like Nebraska, received
her share. The first stage in the
problem was to determine during the
opening game ot the season the qual
ity of the material. Coach Srhulte
tind Assistant Coach Schlssler no
doubt learned something about the
cuality of the Nebraska material dur
:"g the defeat at ..hi hands of the
Iiawkeyes. Reports '-ora Mlnuesoui
say that Coach WiMima wa3 grati

39 to 0.
Minnesota North Dakota Gams
The following account of the
Gopher-Flickertall contest last Satur
day was written by Leo P. Sullivan
in the Sunday Issue of the Minne
apolis Journal:
"Playing before the largest crowd
that ever saw an opening game at
Northrop field, and displaying a
smoothness of play that was surpris
ing so early in the year, the Minne
sota Gophers yesterday triumphed
over the North Dakota university
eleven, 39 to 0. Dr. H. L. Willipms'
machine started with a rush, pufting
over the first touchdown in five min
utes. The result never was in doubt,
speculation from the kickoff center
ing only in the Maroon and Gold total.
Revival of interest in the gridiron
game was indicated by the assem
blage of rooters, the big south stand
being practically filled. The rooting
spirit of the crowd was like that of
midseason in former years. It was a
gala crowd, an index to an unprece
dented year at Northrop stadium.
The attendance was estimated at
7,500.
Big Crowd in Fine Spirit
The manner in which the Gophers
rolled back their opponents and piled
up points brought genuine joy to the
hearts of the rooters.
While the first game was not a se
vere test for the Maroon and Gold as
a machine, it served to indicate un
mistakably the prowess of the un.ts
as individuals.
Eddie Ruben, old West high star,
stood out in the steller role, scintillat
ing both as end and half, while N'eal
Ainston, playing quarter until he in-i
Jured his ankle was taken out, thrill
ed the crowd time anil again by l'is
brilliant dashes. Three times ne
ciossed the goal, be!"o- he was
forced to retire. Captain Lamp!
played a whale of a g.iu-; throughout
he and Bob Butler ca.Yj in-; the ball
for repeated cams 1ft m the game.
Kennedy Break Collar Bona
Joe Kennedy, who started at iull
back. and who with Jack Phillips,
Lampi and Arntson early tore the
Flickertails" line to shreds, retired
with a broken collar bone and was
rushed to the hospital. It Is believed
he will be out of the lineup for about
three weeks. That his absence will
hurt the Williams machine is evident,
though Butler showed high class in
advancing the oval.
Dr. Williams used practically the
same inner line throughout. Tnts
wall, including Theron Gerow, Trig
Johnson. Hawkinson. Kleinschmidt,
Verne Williams and "Babe" Roose.
While the Flickertail line Is weaker
than those the Gophers are to tace,
the linemen showed good form and
skill in breaking through, repeatedly
throwing the opposition back and
making big holes for the backs.
Eddie Ruben Real Star
Ruben's work' at receiving the for
ward pass while playing the right
wing and his smashing and speed in
the backfield showed Williams has in
him a star of unusual versatility and
skill. Hanke. left end. several times
downed the opposing quarterback In
his tracks after Lamp! had punted.
Arnold Oss. Fred Enke. Tony Tom
asek, Harbow Bierman and others
who were sent in as substitutes
showed Dr. Williams is well fixed
with reinforcements.
The preliminaries of the game were
like those of the good old days be
fore the war. The University band
of 60 pieces gave a musical program
before the game and at opportune
tntanroia whii two airplanes n
over the field during te latcrmti
skm. cutting all the capers known to
the craft of fliers."
