Ben Cherington, chairman of the international committee of the Y. M. c addressed the Industrial Re seircli dub at its first open meeting of' the year, October 11. at the ban quet roan, of the Grand hotel, on "The Labor Movement in Europe. 'in his words, "The notes collected by me and what I Bhall tell you tonight are facts and reports gleaned and compl!'l by a committee of thirty sent to England to investigate labor condi tions. I was acting as an advance agent and went to England first to arrange for their comfort. At first. I found that the English people had more than a little suspicion of me as they had hail so many "duds" come from America but after awhile they discovered that we meant business and that we were humble, and conscious of' our ignorance. Then they went to the utmost limits to place every source of information in our hands. "When the time came for the party to come to Europe they received such a lot of information that it is quite probable that the data collected by this committee is as thorough-going and reports as wide a survey as is possible. The members of this com mittee interviewed many prominent leaders of labor organizations on the continent, and in addition, of course, interviewed representatives of the American Red Cross, Mr. Hoover's men and the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. people. "Of all student organizations that impressed me the most favorably, the British Christian Movement of Stud ents stood out as an important factor in solving the economic problem in England. This is an organization simi lar to our Y. M. and Y. W. but does not think in terms of reaching to the circumference of a college, rather it is actuated by trying to reach the mem bers and reach them in such a vita) way that they will be of service in solving the problem. The British Stud ents Christian movement is a factor in the political world. "After I stood there in England and Ibeheld that vast sea of misery and sorrow and then looked back at the United States it seemed to me that Hie hope of the world was in the youth of our land afed especially in the youth of the middle west. It only the students here could be made to face the fact and focus their minds on those facts, we would have a power that would move the world. We should all realize the utter futility of under- (Continued on Page 3.) MORE FRESHMAN CAFS.

The yearlings held them on a number of occasions for .diort gains and were in scoring dis tance only to be stopped by the var sity line.

FOOTBALL RALLY 10 BE FRIDAY EVENING Armory to be Scene of Cheering and Singing In Preparation For Haskell Indians. The initial football rally if the school year will be held Friday, Oc tober 14, from 7:00 to 7:.'!0 p. m., in the armory, on the eve of th j gridiron clash between the co: nhu.kei s aiiu the Haskell Indians. The Innocents society will be in charge. Every student is asked to show true Nebraska spirit and 6e present for the half hour of cheering. Fra ternities and sororities are expected to attend er masse. "We are asking every student who reads this to see thai live otheis at tend this rally," said a member of the euiiiini.teo yesterday. "In this way we will be assiiiCd of a big attendance." Many students at the university have not yet been introduced to Coach Dawson. He will be on the platform Friday night. Many students have not met all the men who comprise the Cornhusker moleskin squad. Every member of the team will be seated before the assembly the night oi the i ally and they will be introduced by Captain Clarence Swanson. Nebraska's cheerleaders Ed. Shoe maker, Fred Richards and Richard Kimball will be on hand to lead in Co.inniskcr yells, songs, and the fam ous chant. The university band will play at the gatheiing. Because "The Corn husker," Nebraska's anthem, is not sung with the enthusiasm that should be displayed, groups of students who congregate in dormitories, in the uni versity Y. M. C. A., in Ellen Smith hall, in fraternity and sorority houses are asked to learn this song before the rally Friday night. "To hear 'The Coi nliusker' sung on the football field by the two or tlnci hundred students who are displaying enough spirit to sing, is to listen to sour thing akin to a funeral dirj;e," re marked a co-ed yesterday. 'Every .student of the University of Nebras ka should know this song, frontwards, backwards and sideways." Moonlight and Gentle Zephyrs Sure to Bring The Serenaders Moonlight and gentle zephyrs! Doesn't that make you think of a won derful, low serenade late at night? Tho moon shines down on a uaiiet that has gathered out on the side walk in front of the house and they sing "Moon" and after much shouting for 'more" they favor us with another selection; this time they put a little more pep into their song perhaps a little Jazz this time, but always the same harmony the tenor .singing out above all tho rest and makinr the hearts beat with a stripple rapidity in the window up above. When this has reached its end and has leceived due hand clapping and more shout ing they sing a fraternity song just to let the fair ones know who It 's that has such good voices and besides tl ey want you to appreciate the fact that they took the trouble to stop Dr. P. L. Hall, Head of University Regents, Lectures to First Year Students. UNI. IS PEOPLES SCHOOL Warns Freshmen Against Excess So cial Activ.ties While At tending U, of N. "The University of N-. braska is a people's school , maintained by the toil and sweat of the taxpayers, and the students of this institution should re;.lize the responsibility thus placed upon them." This was the outstand ing thought in the addresses deliv ered by Dr. p. L. Hall of Lincoln, president of the university board of eg nU, at the regular freshmen lec tures Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. He spoke of student life and activities from the point of view of the regents saying that their woik was the work of love and patriotism rather than of remuneration. The i-i . genls, he said, have many dilficult problems to settle They le. 1 heavily the responsibility of having resting upon them the faith of so many tax payers who are generously support ing the university Dr Hall said that the taxpayers take a pride in the future welfare of their state They want to see Ne braska youth enter the batt'e of lifa prepared to shoulder the burdens of good citizenship The citizens of this state ire making the sacrifice neces sary to educate their young people,. Students therefore cannot afford to waste their time in universility. They must realize that it is a privilege to come o university, and make every m'Mite s; f nt. hero count. "vou must emerge able and fit to take our rcsponsibilitieu upon your sin ulders," said Dr. Hall. He t,ueled Emerson's saying that educated men are prone to do one of three things. They sometimes keep themselves in cloister-like se clusion that thy might spend their time in thought;; they may shout their thoughts from the rostrum; or -tlty -ntny translate their thoughts in to actions. It is the latter type of men and women, that the university endeavors to turn out. Dr. Hail hoped the university students would learn to think soundly but that they would also learn to act. Some men are brilliant thinkers but they think along wrong lines. They lead people in the wrong direction. University students should learn to think sound ly, reach an ultimate conclusion, and not allow error to creep into their mental processes. Social Problem is Big One. The problem of social activities Is one of the regents' chhr problems. (Continued on Pago Four.) NO WOMEN CHEERLFADERS. After answers by telegram frcm Wisconsin, Iowa, Ames, Missouri, Minnesota and other s-hools, which said "no" to the letters that.asked them whether they had women cheerleaders at these institutions, it has been decided at the Cornhusker school to dispense with co-ed leaders here, except probably for the women's sections in the bleachers, and to divide the main iheering between three men: Fred Richards, '23, Richard Kim ball, '23, and Edgar Shoemaker, '24. at your house because maybe next time they will pass you by. It is a nice little courtesy, this set eiiading. The girls love it. It al ways makes me think of the story books when fond lover brings the banjo and sings under window of fair maiden. This has to. be impersonal of course, but it always makes you feel as if they were singing just for yoa and then afterwards you want to hit yourself for thinking it. The girls all get together and you find they all thought about the same and so you know that leAs you out.j All pray Is that some one will come lh next night and the same thing Is re peatedthe thrill, the clapping, the calling for more, and that beautiful tenor above all the others. Oh boyt
