Nebraska Song
Book Valuable
To School Spirit
.Music is one of those everlasting
links which connect the present with
iho past. It is the thrilling strains el
the "Star Spangled Banner" vvhici
bring to mind, the times of 1U12,
under t ho powerful influence ot
which the national song was writ
ion; it is the blood warming rhytln.
f "Marching Through Georgia,' or
of "Dixie" which awaken in tin
hearts of the veterans of 'Gl the
eeling of a new born youth, tain :

days of the past. And in the yiais to
oine will it not be the notes of "Ovei
There" that will arouse rocollr.etions
f 1017 and the Great War? Surely,
t is the divine function of music t
keep warm in our hearts the thoughts
if other days.
With this thought in mind, consider
Mie way in which the inspiration foi
our Nebraska Song Book was born.
The scene was set along the shores
of a beautiful summer lake, the tlnu

The student waited, listening to the

of her songs?" And there a resolu

has her song book, with songs ab

THRU PERSONAL CONTACT
We do not. realize how many for
eigne's live here without friends said
Miss Kuth Clark, national Y. V. C.
A. field secretary Tor foreign-born
women, at vespers Tuesday in speak
ing on Americanization of foreign
born women. In Minneapolis, college
girls are leaching foreign women In
their homes, as they can not attend
night school. These women soon be
come interested in their teachers nnd
sometimes refuse to let tlieni go
home. This Americanization, the
speaker emphasized, is something
only college women can do, and they
can do il by contact, thus making the
foreigners eager to learn more of the
land In which they are living.
Miss Clark said that some of those
women are. not enthusiastic about
learning the English language, but
that after they have come in contact
with educated Americans they want
to learn more about the language.

10 MEET HOSIERS

and Cream Tonight at
Coliseum.
NEBRASKA IS CRIPPLED
Game Slated to Be One of the.
Fiercest on Cornhusker
Home Schedule.
The I Tuskers will meet the Notre
Dame quintet this evening on the
Coliseum floor in the first contest of
the two game series. Coach Schissler
watched the Notre Dame athletes in

last evening in order that the Huskers
may have some Idea as to what they
ire running up against.
Tonight's game will be the hardest
fought contest with out a doubt that
will be staged on the local floor this
season. The Irishmen have met de
feat at the hands of the Nebraska
crew for a number of years and they
're intent on taking the long end of
he score home with them.
Huskers Are Crippled.
The Cornhuskers will present a
somewhat crippled aggregation to put.
up an offense like that the Notre
Dame men met here last year. Cap
tain Bailey and Newman will be at
the guard positions with Bokins act
ing as pivot man. With Smith and
Warren on the hospital list the for
ward positions will be decided this
evening.
Director Luehring announced yes
terday that there would be no dance
following" tonight's contest owing to
the large number of parties scheduled
for this evening. There will, how
ever, be a big dance after Saturday
night's game. The best mufic the
city affords will be on hand to grind
out the necessary am Sunt of i.o'.ti)
for the dancers.
Freshmen vs. Legion.
Preliminary to the big battle the
Freshmen will meet the Lincoln
American Legion basketball quintet.

from the following men: Holland,
Schaffers, Riddlesborder, Wyant, Mil
ler. Gibbs. Hamilton and Tipton.
The Legion team will be compos-id
of Ilaeger, Scofield, Baney, Harper.
