Chancellor Tells First Year Students
How Early Lincoln Citizens Lari
ated Cows on Campus.
"The University of Nebraska. Past,
Present, and Future," was the subject
of Chancellor Avery's address at fresh
man lecture Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning. Chancellor Avery
announced in the beginning that dur
ing an hours' time he could only touch
on the high points in the history of
tlie University. Thooughout his address
the chancellor kept to the front the
steady growth and development of this
institution, tracing its history from the
tune when the thrifty citizens of Lin
coln lariated their cows on the camp
us, down to the present time. The
stages in the school's growth were di
vided by the speaker into ten year per
iods. Technically the University was
founded with the admission of Nebras
ka to the union in February 1S69.
Construction of "U" hall was started
shortly after. "U" hall was built of lo
cally burnt brick, with a foundation
of sandstone. Four blocks had 'been
set aside for the campus and at that
time many citizens had commented
upon the useless waste of ground. The
building, for the first ten years, was
heated by stoves.
Benton First Chancellor.
The first official head of the Uni
versity was Chancellor Benton. The
first year of the University's existence
found an enrollment of two seniors,
two juniors, fifteen sophomores, and
seventeen freshmen. There was also a
preparatory school with seventyseven
students. The faculty grew during this
period from six to eighteen instructors.
At this time the only student organiza
tions were the Palladian and Delian
societies.
Within a few years after opening
the foundation of "L"' hall commenced
to crumble. Simultaneously a move
ment started for University removal to
Omaha or Nebraska City. The people
of Lincoln took up a collection, anxi
ous to retain the University, and se
cured ?6,000 to replace the old sand
stone foundation with one of lime
stone. The building did not give any
more trouble until about six years ago
when it was necessary to strengthen
it with steel braces.
A power plant was established dur
ing the second decade. Several other

Notre Dame Plans
Nebraska
When tho University of Nebraska's
football aggregation storms into South
Bend, Ind., next week it will be wit
ness of one of tlie greatest celebra
tion.! in tho hhitory of Notro Dame.
The Notro Dame Scholastic in a two
column article on tho subject "Hoop
ing up Home" vividly reveals the sec
rets of the celebration. It also tells
of Notre Dame expectations regarding
iho game.
The celebration is to last for two
days. If the decorations as described
in tho Scholastic are. carried out, the
entire city of South Bond will be one
mass cf gold and blue. A snake dance
is planned which will run the en
tiro town over and which will have
a3 a part of its stream of human
beings, hundreds of torches spitting
fire.
Tlie part of the article devot-c' o
Nebraska follows:
"The chief feature of the evening
will bo the booming welcome given to
the Nebraska team and the Nebraska
team's heroic response. After tlie gay
frivolity and enthusiasm hr.s spent

DR. ARTHUR HOLT Of
RESULTS OF THE WAR
Speaker Is A Member of Team of
Three Visiting The University
This Week.
The distinctive feature of the world
war was not the cost or the deaths
incurred but the fact that the nations
that made war were absolutely de
pendent upon one another. A new
science of inter-association must b-j
developed today to follow the science
of inter-dependence of nations. These
points were brought out by Arthur E.
Holt, Ph. D., social secretary of the
Congregational church at the Tuesday
morning convocation. Dr. Holt is one
of u team of three, which includes Miss
Winifred Wygal of Minneapolis and
Ben H. Cherrington, which has been
at the University for two days.
"The dependence of nations on one
another has been brought about by
each nation specializing. They no long
er produce enough goods and tools for
their own consumption and are forced
to buy from other countries," declared
Dr. Holt. "From an armed camp Ger
many has turned herself into a sweat
shop and is selling goods so cheaply
that England can not compete with
her and is forced to close her factor
ies. The low rate of exchange has made
European money almost worthless and
she lias not the buying power nec
cessary to purchase American goods
and grain. As a result Nebraska's corn
is selling for very little.
Harvest of Hates.
"A harvest of hates has been reaped
from the war. The small countries, of
Europe at the end of the war insisted
on self-determination. This resulted in
many small trade barriers which have
made commerce almost impossible, in
Central Europe. Lord Cecil Roberts,
of England has said that if Europe
had one more war the curtain would
drop on western civiliation."
"A new science of human associa
tion must be developed to prevent fu
ture wars," r. Holt said. "The uni
versaries and churches of Europe have
had their chance to prevent war and
failed. There must be a new type of
college student In America who is
willing to dedicate himself to the prob
lem of making the Golden Rule ef
fective."
FRANKLIN HIGH GRADS
FORM FRANKLIN CLUB
The young people who have lived
attended school at Franklin, Neb.,
id are now in Lincoln and vicinity

the list of officers.
The Tdcnicers enjoyed the good time
and feed, traditional with Franklin
people, and many activities are plan
ned for the winter. Miss Keath, sup
erintendent of schools at Milford,
chaperoned the party.
to i'luck
in Moth Ball Bag"
i;f indoor athletics, taking the form of
boxing, wrestling, etc., served in tho
Gymnasium. A very special invitation
is extended to the Alumni to witness
this latter entertainment to give
them a chance to compare our pie
sent crop of facepounder3 with the
sluggers or other years who have
slugged and have departed. This will
be tho dramatic conclusion of the first
day in tho great two-day festival.
"After Nebraska has been tucked
away in the moth-ball-bag and everyone
has yelled himself to a whisper, tho
evening's round of enjoyment shall be
gin. Not one, but two dances, S. A.
). supervised, shall take place in
South Bend immediately after the
Monogram banquet, on;i being held in
tho Oliver and the other in the Trib
une Building. As nothing i.i too good
t'or tho old boys who once were com
ri'dt s under the fame dome, the very
best music shall bo provided, being
very much in keeping with the spirit
of the ocassion."
Then follows a paragraph on tho
effect the celebration is to have on
tho alumni and the hopes for future
events of similar nature.
LINCOLN HO CLUB
Must Sell What Goods Do, Not What
They Are, Is Professor's Opinion.
"You've got to understand the cus
tomer. You've got to sell him what
the goods do, not what the goods arc.
You cannot drive more than one idea
into his head at a time. You must
make your advertisement uisuncuve.
You must, make it understood, and
you must make it believed." These
were a few of the machine gun sent
ences which Paul Ivey, professor of
advertising at the University of Ne
braska, told the members of the Lin
coln Ad club at their weekly lunch-
.-.nn .-.t the chamber of commerce
Tuesday noon.
"Advertising," went on the speak
er. "is but avehicle to carry your idea
to the consumen. And yet I have seen
some advertisers that are using migh
ty poor vehicles. You must understand
words, and you must understand the
customer. Then you must understand
the means of putting the two together
to work to your and the customer's
best result."
"That mieans that you must know
how to establish contact with the cus
tomers. Your advertising must be so
distinctive that if the firm name were
taken out of the layout the reader
would still know whose advertise
ment he was reading. Psychology is
but understanding the human mind, so
that you must know what the human
mind is if vou want to do successful
advertising."
Preceding the address of Prof. Ivey,
Miss Lois Neville, of Denver, Colo.,
accompanied by Miss Marjory Little,
of Lincoln, on the piano, sang a group
of songs including. "Sorter Miss You."
President O. F. Rempke of the Ad
club presided at the meeting.
The activities of the Ad club have
been widely varied his ye:r This
organisation supervised Lincoln "Win
dow : ight" held in September, when
all cf the local stores exhibited their
new la'l styles.
Professor Ivey is a recognized au
thority in advertising clrces and is
said to be one of the strongest men
in the college of business administra
tion where he has been for two years.

Want 4,000 Students to Follow the
Band in a Monstrous Demonstra
tion for Husker's Departure.
More than 4,000 students are ex
pected to follow the band in a mam
moth parade at 4 o'clock Thursday
afternoon before the Comhusker grid
iron men leave for Notre Dame to
meet the Catholics in the big tussle
at South Bend, Ind., on Saturday. The
train that will cany Nebra.-ka's mole
skin warriors will leave from the Bur
lington station at 4:30 p. m.
The University band will call the
students together at. the corner of
Twelfth and R streets promptly at 4
o'clock with a few spirited pieces.
Every Nebraska student men and
women is expected to participate in
the parade.
"A big send-off will give the team
courage that will go into the oattle
with them Saturday," said a student
yesterday. "Eastern schools turn out
100 per cent when their teams leave
for foreign fields. Nebraska can do
the same."
The parade will go from Twelfth and
R streets to O street and then to the
Burlington depot. A rally will be held
while the students are marching. Ne
braska's cheer leaders will be on hand
to lead in "No. 1", the chant and "The
Comhusker."
"If for no other reason," said a facul
ty member yesterday, "a college loyalty
should be the incentive that acts to
propel students to accompany the team
to the depot Thursday. Nebraska is
working for a new spirit this year
a spirit akin to that in the big eastern
colleges. To attain this united univer
sity loyalty, there must be a united
representation of students at all gath
erings whose primary purpose is to
promote this spirit."

ROCKNE EXPECTS
BITTER CONTEST
Catholic Mentor Looking For a Hard
Battle With Nebraska's Eleven
On Saturday, Reports Say.
BIG- SENDOFF FOR HUSKERS
Irish Coaching Staff is Fighting Over
confidence Which They Think Re
sponsible For Defeat by Iowa.
Coach Dawson put the Iluskers thru
the usual strenuous workout last even
ing in preparation for the coming con
test with the Notre Dame eleven Sat
urday at South Bend. Most of the
evenir.g was devoted to Tearing up the
Freshmen eleven with the backfield
men going for big gains.
Twenty-five men will probably be in
cluded in the roster of players that
make the trip to South Bend. Coach
Dawson has announced nothing defin
ite as to who will make the trip but
the entire list will be published in Fri
day's paper. Reports from Notre Dame
indicate that Coach Rockne is leaving
nothing undone in preparing for the
invasion of the Cornhuskers.
Assistant Coach Halas of the Rockne
warriors carried back some strong im
pressions cf the Iluskers according to
newspaper reports. The entire Notre
Dame coaching staff appear to be work
ing overtime in an effort to keep over
confidence, the loser of so many games,
out of the Catholic ranks. In losing to
Iowa earlier in the season the reason
given by Coach Rockne was that his
men were confident of cinching a vict
ory and consequently were not pre
pared for the Iowa attack.
Saturday will be gala day for the
Catholic school, the Ilusker-Catholic
fray lieing the big attraction on the
program. Homecoming will be one of
the big features, with thousands of old
grads (pouring an from the principal
cities around South Bend. Ticket reser
vations for the big context were sold
out long ago and the greatest crowd
that ever witnessed an athletic event
in South Bend is predicted for Satur
day's contest.
Plans for a big send-off for the Ne
braska athletes are under way and
will probably be announced a little lat
ter. The squad is scheduled to leave on
the Burlington Thursday afternoon and
it is expected that the band and a
large number of the students will be
at the depot, to give the team a true
Comhusker sendoff.
NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct. IS. "To
win from Nebraska you must fight bet
ter and think better than you have
ever fought or thought before and ycu
must pay better football than you have
shown this season," Coach Rockne
said to his varsity last night, following
a report received from Scout Hala3,
who saw the Nebraska-Haskell game
Haskell game last Saturday at Lincoln.
Notre Dame has won from Nebraska
after hard games in the past two sea
sons, but Rockne fears the same sort
of cverconfulence which brought the
team to grief at Iowa City. Stiff work
will be the watchword for the week.
Four Uni Male
Singers Perform
At Orid Games
Four of the University of Nebraska's
many good male singers have been
winning the appreciation of spectators
at the football games this year thru
their efforts to entertain them during
dull moments of time-out and intermis
sion. These four men who make the
rounds of all the grandstands and
bleachers at each game win for them
selves enthusiastic handclapping.
While these men probably draw,
more attention than any other men at
the gridiron contests, except the play
ers themselves, they receive no com
pensation for their efforts. Not a Ne
braska booster does not wait in his
seat for the uartet to leave another
stand behind and come sing before his.
At no time during the game, when
there is a lull, are these men off their
job.
The cuartet is composed of Francis
Diers, Ransom Samuelson, Dwight
Huetnr and Archie Jones.
