CAMPUS PROBLEMS WILL
BE DISCUSSED AT FORUM
Harold Long will lead discussion on
"The Campus Problem? at the weekly
meeting of the "Y" Forum at the
Temple Thursday. The improve
ments necessary on the campus to
bring it up to the required standard
and the moans of securing them will
be taken up in the meeting. The
spirit prevailing on the campus will
also be discussed. The meeting will
be thrown open and every one present
will get a chance to express an opinion.
ENGINEERS MAY HAVE
SINGLE TAX FOR ALL
COLLEGE ACTIVITIES
Indications point to the belief that
students In the College of Engineering
are ready to try out the single tax
plan, so far as activities Incident to
that college are concerned. The pro
posed arrangement will be set forth
and discussed in detail at the meeting
of the General Engineering Society
this evening, and an urgent call has
been sent for for every engineer to
be there, in order that a full opinion
of the students may be ascertained.
Briefly, the plan under consideration
Is as follows: The Nebraska Chapter
of the American Association of Engi
neers will become the one all-exclusive
organization of the engineering stud
ents, embracing the former branch
societies, the Blue Print, and the us
ual A. A. E. activities. The Identity
of tho former brand, societies and of
the Blue Print will not be diminished
in the least. They will continue to ex
ist as distinct departments of the larg
er organization. . .The cost under the
new scheme will amount to one dollar
more than in former years, but to two
dollars less than it is under the exist
ing arrangement. The annual dues of
three dollars will pay for the Blue
Print, will rover expenses of local ac
tivities, provide funds for the branch
societies, include the subscription to
the Professional Engineer and the An
nual Directory ot the American Asso
ciation of Engineers, which will list
the student member's nams along with
15,000 other engineers of the country.
With the consolidation of all the en
gineering activities into one strong
body more effective work may be done
at a less cost to the student, it is be
lieved. Greater efficiency, better co
operation in the conduct of work, and
less wasle in time are benefits which
:nv urged for the new plan.
Insurance Conversion
Ex S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. men
t:n obtain application blanks for con
version of their term insurance or for
reinstatement of their term insurance,
at Professor Bobbin's office, Mechanic

CRACK COMPANY HAS
MANY APPLICATIONS
Over One Hundred Cadets Express
Desire to Join Pershing
Rifles.
Applications for membership into
the Pershing Rifles to an aggregate
total of over one hundred were made
by University Cadets yesterday. Of
the total applications fifty will be sel
ected for membership. At an early
cHte each applicant vlll be required
to appear before a student board com
posed of former members of the Per
shings, who will select, the members
for this year. Harold Long, Cadet-Colonel
and Captain of the Pershings last
year, will head this board.
The Pershing Rifles has an Interest
ing history, having been orgnnlzed by
General John J. Pershing when he was
a Lieutenant of Cavalry and Com
mandant of Cadets at the University
of Nebraska. It was first known as
the "Varsity Rifles." Under Lieuten
ant Pershing's supervision the "Ri
fles" entered a national competition at
Omaha In which were entered crack
drill companies from all over the coun
try. In this competitive drill the Ne
braska organization carried off one of
the first prizes, bringing home a $2,000
cash prize and the famous "Omaha
Cup." This cup is still awdared an
nually to the best drilled company in
the Cadet Regiment.
Among the events scheduled for the
Pershing Rifles this year is the an
nual "Compet" with the Workizer Ri
fles of the state farm, which will pro
bably be held In the spring. In addi
tion exhibition drills and several social
events will be held, as well as the reg
ular musine8S meetings.
General Pershing still maintains a
connection with the Pershing Rifles
by awarding each year a medal to the
best military man in the cadet corps
who is also a member of the Perehings.
Harold Long won the med.il last year.
Although the present number of ap
plicants exceeds by far the maximum
f:uota for the organization, the mem
bership committee has announced that
cadets who were unable to apply yes
terday may still obtain application
blanks from the chairman. Cadet
Captain Donald D. Parry. "

Joys on a College Daily
Just Before Final Exams
Newspapers and semester examina
tions do not mix well, if one were to
Judge from the effect the combination
seems to have in the size of the stack
of papers that accumulate, or rather
fail to accumulate on the copy desk
of a college dally.
Bright and early in the morning, tho
Hsignment-man reports for duty at the
"Rag" office, presumably after an
eight o'clock, and spends a weary hour
lining up work for the many reporters
who are under his wing. At a similar
hour In the solemn atmosphere of the
class room, last-minute assignments
are being reeled off for forty-page
themes.
The next scene Is about two-thirty in
the afternoon. The above mentioned
man Is again on duty at the office,
scurrying after whatever scandal may
be uncovered around the institution
of learning. Knter a reporter. After
a brief conversation, said reporter Is
relieved from his day's assignment to
work on that last hour theme. Enter
another reporter. Same conversation,
same results. Enter third reporter.
Ditto. And so on. Presently others

Is as scarce as hen's teeth.

SONG SERVICE HELD
AT VESPERS IN THE
t ABSENCE OF SPEAKER
Although Dr. Harmon, who was
scheduled to speak at vespers Tues
day, did not appear, the audience was
entertained by a vocal solo by Hazel
Beckwith and participated in a partial
ly impromptu song service arrange by
the loader, Grace Stuff.
Vespers began at five. It was
thought that Dr. Harmon would be
there by the time the devotional and
musical part of the program was com
pleted. As he did not appear, the
song service was prolonged until five
thirty, when the meeting was dis
missed.
Tho attendance was smaller than
usual. This wp.s supposed to be due
to the approach of the semester ex
aminations. Vespers will be aban
doned next week.
As soon as a hasty meal can be en
gulfed, the two old faithfuls are again
found knocking holes in typewriter rib
bons, dipping newspape s, wearing
out heavy pencils on scraps of "copy"
accumulated, and eventually leaving
the den beneath U Hall for he bright
lights of a print shop.
That quizz that is to come tomorrow
and for which a few precious moments
were to be stolen must temporarily be
forgotten, forgotten until tomorrow.
If, by some deed of good fortune, there
finally is seen enough material to bare
ly fill tomorrow's issue, efforts can be
turned towards tho reading of proof
on what already Is 'set up." The pen
may be mightier than some things,
but this time there is a strong convic
tion thai it has nothing on the heavy
black pencil so effective for marking
for decorating up the proof from a
lfneotype machine.
Sometime during the wee small
hours of the morn, when enough copy
has been manufactured It may even
be before the milk-man starts his
rounds the weary two seek downy
quilts to snatch a short nap before the
call of duty ag?lr. sounds. And the
"I can't get 'em up" has nothing on
the cheerful ting-a-llng of the alarm
clock.
As the faithful two yawninfly wend
th)r ways towards that class, some
ten minutes later there is very de
cided opinion that foams od "lUt
work do n. taJj sre-li.

WHELPTON SHOWS THAT
CORN WAS RAISED
AT A LOSS IN 1919
The corn crop grown in Nebraska
during the year 1919 was produced at
a loss, according to figures presented
by speakers at the opening session of
the Nebraska Corn Improvers' associ
ation at the state farm Tuesday morn
ing. The crop cost at least $1.65 a
bushel, vfrich is more than the market
price, as shown by figures presented
by P. K. Whelpton of the College of
Agriculture department of rural econ
omics. Other speakers declared his
cost figures were too low, in that the
Item of labor was included at but
forty cents an hour, and the value of
land was placed at an average of but
?150 an acre.
The cost of labor that grows corn 13
much more than forty cents an hour,
speakers said. Mr, Aden, Sherman
county, said he paid $55 a month plus
board. Just what the price of board
should be speakers could not agree. It
was agreed, however, that It should he
more than a dollar a day. A hired
man will eat $1 worth of meat a day,
one man said.
Mr. Whelpton said that labor is the
biggest item in growing corn. An
other big item is land. Mr Aden, de
clared it was a mistake to not figure
the loss of soil fertility in the cost of
production. He declared that no
method has yet been found to keep up
the fertility of the soil and that this
is rapidly becoming a very serious
proposition. Mr. Aden placed tho
labor problem as the most serious sit
uation confronting farmers. He said
he has had one man for fourteen years.
This man has always set his own
price. He is an expert hog raiser and
an excellent man in other ways on the
farm. This man. however, is going tr
leave next March to work on "the
section."
Ernest Lindholm of Palmyra and A.
W. Sprick of Fontanelle spoke on corn
cost and the labor problem. Mr.
Sprick declared the labor problem to
b;? the most aggravating one the
farmer has to face. He told of his
struggle to make a farm pay with
hired labor. The daylight saving law

KIRSH WILL FURNISH
CORNHUSKER DESIGNS
S'wiiT Also Announces Extension
of Time for Individual and
Organization Pictures.
The designs for the cover, end
sheets, sorority and fraternity sec

hnsker have arrived. These designs
have been made by Dwight Klrsh, '19,
who made many covers and drawings
for the Awgwan and drawings for the
litis and 191! Cornhusker. Kirsh stud
ied art and design hie for four years
and his posters, cartoons, covers and
paintings are very well known on the
campus. He is now studying at an
art school in New York and his new
work is even more artistic than ever.
Because of the many interruptions
of these last few weeks, it has been
iecided to extend the time for senior
and junior individual pictures to Feb
ruary 10. A good many have been
taken since Christmas, but the time
i:- short and all who have not been to
Townsend's yet should do so at once.
It is not necessary to make n ap
pointment as the studio can accom
modate students any time. Organiza
tions are especially urged to have
their groups taken immediately, since
there are still flfteea not yet ached

Cornhusker sportsmanship has
again achieved prominence. Wher
ever Nebraska representatives go, the
famous Husker spirit Is always mani
fest. The Cornhusker basketball
team has recently returned from an
extended trip through Colorado, and
the University of Nebraska may well
be proud of the following clipping
from the Colorado Springs Gazette:
Cornhuskert, the latchstring
at Colorado College it always on
the outside to you. You have
made a big hit with the students
and faculty members of Colorado
Springs by your wonderful
sportsmanship and clean brand
of athletics. As the noted Aus
tralian general said when he
tried to thank the Yanks for
their part in winning the war,
"You are all right, but you're a
bit rough." Colorado College
and Colorado Springs have been
glad of the opportunity to meat
and greet you, Cornhuskers; and
the sign always reads "Welcome''
for you. Come again, gang, we
like you.
It is rather uniuisiial for a visiting
team to receive any such parting mes-;
sage as this, and Cornhusker stud-"'
ents should lie exceedingly proud of!
the impression made by the Huskers.
who visited Colorado. Coach Schissler
announced today that the Colorado
College team would come to Lincoln
for two return games with the Husk-,
ers on March 5 and 6. Here is ah op
portunity to return the compliment to
the boys from the western states.
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI

The University of Missouri's bas

championship. Missouri has played
four games away from home and
placed as many victories to its credit
by defeating the Ames Aggies and
Dick Rutherford's Washington uni
