At least two hundred students ex
pressed tnelr willingness and Inten

with fuel. If needed, and with the
largo number registering later In the

meeting condemning those lespon
Mble for conditions as 111-- are at
present, and the moral Bupport of the
university was pledged to the gov
ernment. It w made clenr that
while the students, In no way. desire
to oppose either the operators of the
mines or the miners, yet the serious
ness of the present situation demands
immediate action if great suffering
and perhape death among the peo
ple of tbe country Is to be prevented.
Leonard Kline, who Initiated the
plan of organizing the student body
for this emergency, presided at the
meeting. In introducing the first
speaker he declared "We have the
opportunity to be among tho first In
the state to volunteer for work in
the coal mines." He then pointed
out that volunteers would be sent
out only If needed.
Governor McKelvie was the first
speaker. In beginning his speech he
declared that "These are days for
action, not words," and with direct
earnestness he outlined briefly the
situation and showed its gravity. He
was greatly pleased with the spirit
and enthusiasm shown, and the loyat
support of the university as was evi
denced. "This is an expression ot
moral support of the school that wil)
be felt throughout our entire coun
try," he concluded.
Chancellor Avery was next to ad
dress the students. In a brief way
he suggested an organization that
would care completely for a Ne
braska unit of miners as wes con
templated. In addition to the sug
gestion of food, shelter, and medical
care he said that he thought it
would be possible to send faculty
members from the different col
leges to assist any of the men who
might, after their regular hours of
work in the mines, care to continue
their work. "Every possible effort
would be made," he said "to assist
these men upon their return to
school." Free tutors and an oppor
tunity to make up everything missed
could, he thought, make it possible
for every man who did this work, to
complete his studies by the end of
next year.
Harold Gerhart, president of the
Innocents expressed the opinion that
the present condition offered an ex
cellent opportunity for the students
of the university to be of service to
the people of the state, and he urged
support of the movement.
Chris Christensen, president of the
Student Council, and also represent
ing the school as a student speaker,
made it clear that the people of the
state who had made the University
of Nebraska possible were in danger
of suffering, and stated this as a
reason he was willing to enter the
service if needed.
Luther Cobby, president of the
university post of the Ameiican
Legion of World War Veterans spoke
strongly of the need, and, declared he
himself ready to go when needed.
He declared that undoubtedly ex
service men would go into the pres
ent situation as willingly as they
volunteered for war service.

FREDA MEYER TELLS
OF YASHIHGTON TRIP
AT VESPERS TODAY
Miss Freda Myer, a working girl
of Lincoln, who was a delegate to the
National Y. W. C. A. Industrial Con
ference and to the Women's Interna
tional Industrial Conference, botn of
which met at Washington, D- C, last
October, told of her experiences, at
veBpers Tuesday evening. She heard
through representatives of tnirty
states of the United States, through
women workers of Belgium, of Italy,
of Japan, through women from every
part of the globe what the working
women of the world are thinking and
doing.
Jane Adams, Julia Lanthrop, Secre
tary Baker and Mrs. Raymond Robins,
president of the Women's Trade Un
ion League were a few of the speak
ers. Mrs. Robins, in her welcome ad
dress, said: "We are gathered here
to the first international congress
of working women. There will be
many another. We are the pioneers
and pioneers are those men and wo
men who look into the future with
faith and hope and courage and the
certainty that 'life summons to a
great advantage. We will go and find
the hidden treasure of fellowship and
understanding; we will go and find the
power of the spirit, which cannot be
shaken.
"Long hours, low wages, and un
sanitary conditions are the problems
which women from all parts of the
world were trying to solve. Person
ality, brotherhood and service Is the
solution offered by the church as reep
resented there. At present, trade un
ions are the best solution."
It was generally agreed that the im
mediate task was to interest the wo
men of the country in the industrial
problems. This, Miss Myer stated,
was her purpose in coming before the
girls of the university.
Miss Myer was one of the six dele
gates who were elected to represent
the north central district at the na
tional Y. W. C A. Industrial Confer
ence, which met during the first part
of October. The International Wo
men's Industrial Conference called
by the Women's Trade Union League
invited those delegates to attend as
official guests when it convened
October 23.
While In Washington Miss Myer
met the daughter of President Wil
son and the wives of all the cabinet
members.

Opposition to all movements against
the government of the United States
was keenly voiced in the meeting of
the University Post of the American
Legion Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
in the Faculty Room of the Temple,
when the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the members
present with only a few minor amend
ments and changes of structure affect

"Nebraska University Post of the
American Legion, Lincoln, Nebr., Dec.
2, 1919.
'The following resolutions are unan
imously adopted by the post:
"Whereas: There are within our
boundaries conditions entirely foreign
to the principles and teachings ofour,
forefathers and for which we and our
comrades offered ourselves in the
service of our country, and
"Whereas: We believe that these
conditions are largely due to the ac
tivities of aliens and other undesir
able citizens within the country, and
are particularly evidenced by the
dastardly attack by L W. W. members
upon our comrades-in-arms at Cen
tral ia, Washington, on November 11,
1919: and whereas, this and similar
out-breaks are symptoms of a disease

Dean LeRossingnall Declares
Volunteers Will Break Strike
Government Cannot Force Miners
to Work But Protects Others
Offering Services
"I am confident that, as a last re
sort, the only means of breaking a
strike which has already firmly es
tablished itself, is the ready volun
teering of the citizens to carry on the
work thus hampered' by the walk-out,"
declared Dean J. E. Le Rossignol of
the College of Business Administra
tion who has made an extensive study
of this subject.
Dean Le Rossignol has written
manv articles which have been print
ed in various economic journals and
magazines emphasizing the truth of
this statement.
Volunteering breaks a strike. In
the general strike which swept the
entire country of Sweden In 1909 a
volunteer brigade of teachers, stud
ents, merchants, and everyone inter
ested in the welfare of their country
formed a mighty army against the
striking laborers and forced industry
back on a firm basis again.
The point has been raised by a
number of students that volunteer
workers in the coal mines will create
the enmity of the strikers and the
"scabs" or strike-breakers will have
the strikers themselves to contend
with. This condition will be re
lieved, however, by the fact that fed
eral troops will be on hand at every
moment to guard the volunteer
workers.
Dean Le Rossignol wrote an article
on the strike of the wharf-laborers of
New Zealand in 1913, which was
published in the American Economic
Review. This strike was also broken
by volunteers, especially farmers.
The strike occurred at the time
when they were exporting dairy pro
duce. Some of the volunteers acted
as laborers, and some as special po
licement to maintain order. Many
seamen also took part in this strike,
and the farmers and even the clergy
men of New Zealand were compelled
to man the ships until the conditions
were relieved.
The question is raised whether or
not university students are compe

DIRECTORIES ARE NOT
ENTIRELY DISPOSED OF
University directories are still avail
able at the university Y. M. C. A. offlct.
in the Temple. To supply the In
creased demand this year several hun
dred more books were ordered than
last year and are still on hand.
The books sell for forty cents, this
price being just barely sufficient to
defray the cost of its publication.
They contain In a handy form the
names, addresses, affiliations, and
phone numbers of all students besuleb
organization lists, professors and in-structors.
Alfred Hlntz, manager if this year's
directory Intends to have all the books
disposed of by Friday night. During
the day Friday they will be on sale at
various places on the campus.
WRESTLERS TO BEGIN
HIT WORK MONDAY
Regular Class to Commence Work
Today Varsity Grappler
Team Will Be Chosen
Later
Men for the wrestling team will
meet at the Chapel floor ready for
work Wednesday afternoon 3:40 ac
cording to Dr. Clapp. The men will
meet three times a week and one
hour's ci- it will be given for this
work. Besides the exercise and cred
it there Is a good chance to make the
wrestling team.
The wrestlers will probably face
the same sort of a schedule that was
customarily contracted in pre-war
days. At least two large events are
expected to be staged, one here during
the State High School Basket Ball
tournament with some team from the
Chicago conference, and one away
from home. In addition to this, it is
the desire of the athletic department
to send the team to the Western Inter
collegiate Wrestling and Fencing As
sociation meeting which will probably
be held at the University of Illinois.
Among the Nebraska grapplers will
be found one of the cleverest men
among amateur demons of the mat.
Harry Troendly, who was last year
captai nof the team, is accorded the
honor of being one of the fastest,
cleverest and gamest men that the
school has ever had in this branch of
sports. Troendly is back this year
with the same old spirit and will go
in the 125-135 pound class. In the ma
terial which is expected to come out
for honors there are quite a number
of last-year men. Salter, who showed
up well last season will be back on
the mat, as will Bates, Wertz and sev
eral others.
In the 135 pound class will probably
be Salter, from last year; in the 145
pound, Wertz. A number of men will
be looked for in the 158 pounder, and
it is hoped that among those who turn
out will be R. M. and A. E. Sandstedt,
D. Slater, Zook, Bates, Brock, Stew
art and others. The 175 pound class
will have a number of well known
grapplers, including Perry, Pickwell,
Hoyt, Baskin, Wade, Munn, Zollars,
and Dobson.
A trio of heavyweights, who are
hard fighters and clever men of t.e
mat are to be found in Monte Munn,
Pucelik and Dale.
With the r's.ierial available and the
schedulf arranged the school faces
the prospects of a favorable season.
Some class bouts will be staged tnd
keen competition for places on the
team is expected.
UNIVERSITY PLAYERS
POSTPONE PRODUCTION
PLAY "UNDER COVER"
"Under Cover" has been postponed
until further notice. This indefinite
postponement of the next feature of
the University Players is one of the
many methods of coal conservation
adopted by the university. The pro

nth and 15th of December. It

The

Basketball nan started with a ruhh
at Nebraska. Twentyflve rundlriMiMi
are prancing about the gymoMHlum ev
ery afternoon, c1h! in the new scarlet
practice jersey. The greatest turn
out of basket tossers In the hintorv
of the Comhusker school greeted
Coach Schlshler at the Initial nrac
tice. Every man Is a seasoned veter
an and competition for the Varsity
five will be very keen. The tatk of
picking a team out of the Husker
squad will requite a great deal of skill
on the part . f the coaching staff.
A fitting schedule has beon pre
pared for this Rtar array of basket
ball artists. The strongest teams In
the western and middle states will
clash with the Huskers this year on
the floor. Notre Dame, Indiana, Val
paraiso, South Dakota, Colorado Coll
ege, Colorado University. these are
some of the teams that the Comhusk
er quintette will meet. It will cost
14,000 to finance this heavy schedule.
This is an unheard of amount to pay
for a Nebraska basketball schedule,
but Coach Schissler Is counting on the
loyalty of the students of Nebraska to
put the schedule across, and the prow
ess of his athletes to gather the vic
tories. Season tickets will be placed on
sale sometime in the near future and
students will be given a chance to see
the fourteen games to be played on
the home floor for the modest sum of
three dollars. The athletic authorities
believe that if one thousand of these
season tickets can be sold, the sched
ule will pay out and the season will
be a success financially. The Board
of Regents have authorized the play
ing of the schedule but are relying
on the backing of the Husker students
to make It a paying proposition.
The best of equipment has been ob
tained for the Varsity squad. Brand
new practice outfits are now in use
and the speedy Huskers present a
nifty appearance on the floor. New
playing uniforms have been ordered
and will arrive shortly. When the Ne
braskans appear on the floor against
Morningside December 19, they will
wear the latest word in basketball
equipment. White jerseys with a scar
let "Nebraska" across the bosom, scar
let stripes down the seams of the
white trousers, and scarlet belts will
make the Huskers' adornment com
plete. Schissler believes in starting
the season with the best of equipment.
