CALENDAR OF EVENTS FILLED
WITH INTEREST.
NEW UNIVERSITY SKYLINE
NEBRASKA NOW IN FIFTY-SECOND
YEAR OF PROGRESS.
Registration Will Surpass That of
Last Year According to Present
Indications From the Office.
From the calender of events sched
uled for 1920-1921 at the University
of Nebraska, a busy season of ac
tivity is expected. The affairs of the
school year will be as varied as it is
possible to make them. The Univer
sity commences its fifty-second year
this fall.
It is much the same University that
the students left last sprfta. but re
turning students who wander through
familiar halls and shake hands again
with their favorite professors realize
that It is a mightier Institution. Its
campus has increased in bounds and
its plane of advancement is on a
hither scale.
New Campus Skyline.
In spite of its delays In letting con
tracts, the campus skyline is assum
ing a new and better contour with
the new buildings on the verge of
completion.
The Social Science Hall marks the
trst step toward the completion of the
"street of a thousand columns" so
colorfully described by Dr. H. B.
Alexander In his article relating to
the "Nebraska University to Come"
in the 1920 Cornhusker.
The registration, beyond a doubt,
will surpass that of last year when it
was thought all records were shat
tered. Exact figures are not yet ob
tainable as stragglers still continue
to enroll, but there is ample evidence
that the registration in all colleges
will be far ahead of previous high
marks. This Is especially true in
the Law College and College of Busi
ness Administration, where students
are increasing the enrollments In
those departments by enormous per
centages. Keen observers noted that
in spite of new and easier methods
of registration, lines in the Armory
were just a little longer and had just
a few more curves than ever before.
A number of new courses are being
introduced this semester. The desks
in the Library have been combined
for the sake of efficiency.
Same Old Library.
The Library Itself is the same
with the same old steps and the
building Is yawning for the same
bookworms. "Perhaps some of them
will yawn, too, before the season is
over." said a brilliant Freshman
Wednesday.
The sororities are work under the
same 10:80 rules, and the same old
Incentive to break them exists for the
same old male sex.
But, everyone, old and new. is glad
to get back on the job again.
Thanksgiving recess will begin No
vember 24 at noon and end. Novem
ber 27 at noon. Christmas holiday
vacation holds from December 22 at
six p. m., until January 5. at eight
a. m. The spring recess will be from
Saturday noon. March 26, until Satur
day noon, April 2.
The schedule of the year is repro
duced by the Daily Nebmskan on an
other portion of this page.

INTERESTING MATCH
BOOKED FOR SATURDAY
Director F. W. Luehring, chairman
of the combined departments of phy
sical education and athletics, Ib a
noted tennis player, and intends to
place this sport on a high plane at
Nebraska. Plans under consideration
at the present time call for at least
twenty tennis courts on the Univer
sity campus. At present there are
two.
A few weeks ago the city of Lincoln
held a tennis tournament In order to
determine the singles and doubles
championship of the city for a year.
The doubles resulted In Weaverling
and Elliot defeating the Wesleyan
team in the final match. The singles
championship was delayed due to
rain, but they will be played next
Saturday, at three o'clock, at the Uni
versity courts.
Both Weaverling and Elliot are
former University students. Weaver
ling was captain of the team in 1910

will lead In the discussion of the sub
ject, "Am I My Brother's Keeper.'"
Although this is an old quotation
there is a great deal to consider in

is hoped that some real good may
come from the general, discussion.
The "Sing Fest," as those in charge
refir to it will furnish a chance for
considerable enthusiasm of a more
physical nature to find expression.
First-year men will find- an oppor
tunity to learn, and older men a
chance to brush up on some of the
songs that are dear to all Corn
huskers.
FORMER STUDENT
DIES AT DENVER
JUNIOR OF LAST YEAR KILLED
BY GUNMAN.
Carl Liebers, Charter Member of
Alpha Gamma Rho Shot While
in Western City.
Carl Ludwlg Liebers, charter mem
ber of the local chapter of Alpha
Gamma Rho and Junior in the Univer
sity last year, was shot and killed
about fourteen miles from Denver
Monday, September 20. His funeral
will be held at his home town, Min
den. Neb., ten o'clock today. About
fifteen members of Alpha Gamma Rho
left Lincoln last night to attend the
funeral.
Mr. Liebers left Denver by automo
bile about noon Monday to see a
customer in the country on business.
The most acceptable theory of his
death is that he picked up a man on
the road to give him a ride. This
man is supposed to have shot him
while he was driving the car. Signs
on the body indicate that he had one
hand on the wheel when shot, but
tried to fight off his antagonist with
his free hand.
It is thought that the murder was
committed for money, because the
watch and money of Mr. Liebers were
gone when his body was found.
Farmers working in the field saw the
body ricked up from the car and
thrown to the road by the man in the
automobile, who drove away so rapid
ly that he could r.ot be overtaken.
They went in pursuit of him, but
were not successful.
The car was found in Denver yes
terday. Detectives believe they have
the man who committed the crime
although they are not at all sure. A
remard of 11.000 has been offered for
the arrest of the man who committed
the crime.
The body of the deceased will be
buried at Minden, Neb., today. Rev.
J. W7. Crist of Lincoln, will preach
the funeral sermon. Th following
members of Alpha Gamma Rho will
serve as pall-bearers: Walter Metz
gar, Ralph Fortna. Martin Kreuger
Joseph Calder, Paul Bauer and Henry-
Meyer. As many as can leave will
attend the funeral.
Carl Ludwig Lieber was the son
of Mr. and Mrs. August Lieber at
Minden, Neb. He was bom October
1897. He was graduated from the
Nebraska School of Agriculture in the
;nring of 1916. While in the School
of Agriculture he was halfback on the
football team two years, member of
the Orhelian debating team, first
lieutenant adjutant of cadet batallion.
member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet.
member of the Junior class basketball
team and member of a stock Judging
toam.
He entered the College of Agri
culture in Nebraska University in the
fall of 1916. He was a charter mem
ber of Kappa chapter of Alpha
Gamma Rho, member of the Ag Club.
ice-president of United Ag Club.
member of University German Dra
matic Club, member of Kearney Club.

GRID SQUADS
COAST ALONG
TORRID WEATHER FORCES COACH
TO SLOW DOWN STEAM.
PREPARE FOR BIG GAMES
SCHULTE TAKING NO CHANCES
ON ANY STALENESS.
Early Contestants Have the Jump on
Scarlet and Cream But Huskers
Confident.
Facing the danger of early-season
staleness, a possibility due to the
tropical heat on tap since the in
auguration of gridiron practice in
the camp of the Nebraska Corn
huskers, the proteges of Head Coach
Schulte are persistently "going easy"
in their daily workouts on the state
University athletic field. The knowl
edge that Washburn College and
Colorado Agricultural College, which
come first on Nebraska's schedule of
games, have been grinding along for
three and four weeks, in pursuit of
a plan to "prime for the Cornhuak
ers," is not being permitted to Inter
fere with Coach Schulte's scheme to
bring the Huskers gradually up to
form for the more important subse
quent contest with Notre Dame, dated
for October 16 In Lincoln.
Anxious to Win.
"As a matter of course, Nebraska
is anxious to win from Washburn
and the Colorado Aggies," said Coach
Schulte, "yet there are other factors
which must be taken into account
The weather conditions under which
the Cornhuskers have been practic
ing would make it dangerous if we
were to go at full speed in getting
ready for Washburn and Colorado.
Nearly every man on Nebraska's
Varsity squad reported under weight
Hubka was off nearly twenty pounds
as were Dale and Monte Munn. In
fact Wade Munn, who reporter last
Monday. Is the only Varsity man
on the squad who showed up carry
ing more than normal weight To
drive hard, In view of the unusual
heat might put the squad in prime
trim for the early games, yet the
possibility of reaction in the form of
staleness must be taken Into con
sideration. WTe must risk something
against Washburn and Colorado In
order to be In condition for Notre
Dame and the subsequent big games
on our schedule. That Is why we
have been 'going easy' and delaying
the inauguration of scrimmage prac
tice. In the long run, I think it will
pay." Lincoln Star.
Huskers Run Signals.
Last night's practice was taken up
with running signals, covering punts,
working out formations, and receiv
ing forward passes. Lum Doyle was
out and helped the coach with the
men on the dummy. He is of the
opinion that Nebraska has a wonder
ful turnout and the making of record
beating team. Dale would like to
have tacklers avoid trying to rough
his good looking shirt.
Before dismissing the players the
coach ordered the men to appear in
full uniform for today's practice and
to be prepared for scrimmage.
CHANCE TO HELP.
The large array of Husker
jridiron material that is prac
ticing daily on the Athletic
Field will necessitate more
equipment, according to advice
from the Athletic Department
The Department will be unable
to furnish the large supply of
football togs needed for the ex
traordinary large squad this
year.
For this reason a small fee
of twenty-five cents will be
charged at the gate Saturday
when the Yearlings mix for the
first time with the Varsity.
This promises to be a hot battle
and some of the first-year '
dents are already wage"in0 ot
on the Freshman squad. The
oroceeds of the struggle Satur-
day will go to buy additional
equipment for the gridiron
squads this season and to put
them in gala array and "war
feathers" for the earning sched
ule of stiff games.
