This action was reported to Dean
Hastings, of the College of Law. and
ichulte.: in the hasty summoning of
representatives of the classes ana the
class prehideiits lor the announcement
thai such a holiday would be treated
as a breach of discipline on the part
of the students. Placards were placed
in the Law building to advise the stu
dents there that classes would be held
iis usual.
Dean Carl Kngberg. after a consul
lation between the university authori
ties and Governor McKelvie, an
nounced that "drastic action' would
be taken against service men or oth
ers in the law college who were ab-M-iit
from classes Tuesday morning,
li was first announced that there
would be no holiday observance what
ever for the men, but this was later
chanced by an order that allows ex
m n ice men to be absent from classes
Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Representatives of the Lincoln
Commercial club and an army oflicer
consulted with the university authori
ties after the Commercial club had
been informed at 1 o'clock Monday
that there would be no holiday at the
university. The Commercial club re
ported that when university authori
ties "understood the situation" they
had readily consemed to a half holi
day.
It was declared Impossible by rep
resentatives of all classes to reach all
students wko had been advised of a
holiday and many, especially in the
iwo larger classes, could not be lo
cated after they had left the buiUing.
In the law college there are practi
cally no afternoon classes, so the holi
day ruling does not affect those flu
dents. PURDUE'S AMBITION

CORNHUSKER LUNCHEON
Do you want to be one of the three
hundred loyal Comhusker co-eds who
v. ill celebrate home-coming day with
a rousing luncheon Saturday? If you
do, and of course you do, get your
icket either at the Student Activities
office or from any member of the W.
S. G. A. Council. No more tickets will
be validated alter Thursday evening,
but as the number has been limited
to 300, not all of those who wait o
go w ill be able, so it will be necessary
to get your pasteboard early.
As ihe girls' Cornhusker luneheon
was not held last year, there may be
some who do not know what one is.
Anyone who has attended one will tell
you not to miss it. It is a big get

The course of the procession led

arousing an abundance of pep among
the townspeople. The Cornhutkors
have always resorted to night time
processions, but the Tigers believe in
parading the streets in broad daylight.
The action of the Tiger rooters at
the game received much commenda
tion from the Cornhuskers who w.e
in attendance. The Missouri yells and
pongs poured over the field in gieat
volumes, cheering the Tiger warriors
to fight on in the face of defeat. When
the game was over, not a Tiger rooter

It makes no difference who you are

you live at the "i'ral" house around

Rushing is characteristic of the Am

South Sea Islands, or in Siberia r
in Podunk. he would be rushing, ever
lastingly rushing.
The term "rushing" means more to
a college student perhapc, than to any
oilier individual. "Rush- is essenti
ally a college term. The "rushing
season" inaugurated at the beginning
of each term of college, typifies the
rate of the entire school year, and
does not end, as is commonly thought,
at the end of the initial week.
The eight o'clock rush is no doubt
the most inconvenient, most undesir

SORORITIES MAY
EXCHANGE GUESTS
Pan-Hellenic Council Discusses
Interchange of Dinner
Guests
November 15 is Named as Mid
Semester Pledge Day for
Sororities
The exchange of dinner guests be
tween sororities one night of each
week to Increase the friendliness and
number of acquaintances among uni
versity women, was discussed at the
meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council
held Monday afternoon at 4 o'c'.ock.
It Is believed that this exchange of
guests will aid greatly toward making
this university democratic in the true
sense of the word.
It will not only add to the list of ac
quaintances of each girl, but wi'.l In
crease her appreciation of the vorth
of girls who do not happen to wear
the same sorority pin that she does.
For the arranging of a system for the
operation of such a scheme a commit
tee was appointed with powers to for
mulate a plan upon which the associa
tion will act This committee con
sists of five members, with Rachel
Trestor as chairman.
The other business of the associa

HUSKERS ARE HOME
AGAIN DETERMINED
TO WHIP JAYHAWKS
The victorious Cornhuskers are
home from their journey to the land
of the Tiger. They found the Tiger
eagerly waiting and they promptly
proceeded to give his tail a mij,hty
twist and walked home with a decisive
victory. Schulte's men came out of
the Missouri scrap unscratched and
will be in prime shape for the coming
home-commc
day. Day, who was previously thought
to be laid up lor tne season, piajeu admitting mm to me auditorium io

Jayhawk line Saturday.
The Cornhuskers are now filled with
-
the zest of victory and are preparing
for the Kansas fray with great ex
pectations of winning. Nebraska
handed the Jayhawkers a 20-0 dcieat
last year and the boys are con3dent
they will repeat the performance this
year. In 1917 the Kansans walked
over the Huskers to the tune of 7-3
end the Jayhawkers believe they will
make this year's game another victory
for the sunflower state. It mu&t be
admitted that Kansas has a team of
rare ability. They battled the Okla
homa Sooners to a scoreless tine Sat
urday and a draw was also the best
Nebraska could accomplish agamoi
the Oklahomans. The Jay-hawkers
conquered the Kansas Aggies by a
good score and in turn the Aggies held
Missouri 10 a tie.
11 will be interesting to note cae
personnel of the lineulp that will
siart the game against the Jayhawk
ers Saturday. Will Schulte again
play the substitutes who shattered the
Missouri defense or will he use the
first siring veterans who were de
feated by the Ames Cyclones? It
must be remembered that the Varsity
was in a very poor condition when
hey entered the Ames encounlei and
he game was not really a fair test oi
he ability of the two teams. Again
he question comes, could the Cornhuv
;er second string men have defealed
mes? However, all these mailers
re of small moment now. Ames won
pnd Missouri was defeated and it is
too late to change the count- Nebras
ka is preparing to give Kansas the
fight of her life and Cornhusker stu
dents are predicting victory.

The university will have school as

The city of Lincoln has arranged for
a series of amusements that will keep
the most spirited participant busy 10
take them all in. The first thing on
the program is a banquet a the Ma

United tates and men au- trouiis 10
attending school look back at that day
with a sense of jubilation, whether
they were attending school here or ac
tively engaged in the terrific struggle
in France. One enthusiastic senior,
an overseas veteran of four big drives,
was heard to gleefully remark. "Well,
November flth will always be a holi
day with me as long as I live." It is
truly a memorable day. It demons'rit
ed most conclusively the titanic power
of America. When the tide of battle
turned against the hosts fighting for
democracy and freedom, America took
up the fight that was so successfully
terminated that historic day.
"Just exactly a year ago Iwas at
." "Do you remember this night
just a year agoe" uch conversions
will run riot on the campus today. To
most ex-soldiers llie year has passed
quickly and the return to civilian life
has been so recent that Tuesday is
the first time ihey have had a chnce
to think back to the past.
