Sherwood Eddy meetings begin to
morrow morning at 11 a. m. in St.
Paul's church. With the coming ot
the internationally-famed student
leader to the Nebraska campns .but
one day off, an increasing amount of
interest is being shown by the stu
dents in the great thoughts which
Mr. and Mrs. Eddy ' hope to drive
home in their lectures Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of this week.
The executive committee which bas
been working for some months on the
arrangements for the convocations
has told of enthusiastic reorts from
the student, faculty and alumni
groups interested In the success of
the meetings and wishes to call to
the attention of every student two
things at the outset. irst they de
sire that every one realize that Eddy
is here for a serious purpose, to
bring a straight-forward rational
faith adequate to the need3 of the'
present day. They are asking that
the students take the meetings with
serious thought In addition, the
committee members are stressing the
fact that students are requested to
attend all of the meetings as Mr.
Eddy will work his lectures into one
large central theme.
Mr. Eddy has not ennounced lis
subject for the Wednesday morning
meeting but will choose) the one
which he considers best fitted to the
occasion. The official program cal!3
for six general meetings for ail Uni
versity students. The co-eds will
hear Mrs. Eddy Thursday afternoon
at a special vespers service and the
students on the agricultural campus
have a special meeting on the morn
ing of the same day.
Definite announcement of the name
of the professors who will excuse stu
dents from their 11 o'clock classes
to attend the Thursday and Friday
morning convocations wil be made
in tomorrow's edition of the Daily Ne
braskan. Arrangements have been
made so that upperclassmen and wo
men may attend the Wednesday and
Thursday evening meetings. Friday
evening has been declared closed to
all university social functions, so the
committee feels that every obstacle
in the way of prevenftng students
from hearing the Eddy lectures bas
bef-n removed. Mr. Eddy has just
finished a series of meetings at the
Southern Methodist university at
Dallas, Texas- Reports from there
indicate that Mr. Eddy has stirred up
tli e same serious discussions find the
worthwhile ideas that have Deen so
characteristic of bis meetings at other
colleges both in the United States
and in Europe and Asia.
Prayer groups organized in the
various sections of the town and the
central prayer meetings held twice a
week for the past two or tbree weeks
have laid a foundation for the thots
which wil be presented beginning to
morrow. At the same time that Ed
dr accepted the call to come to Ne
braska be not only declared that al)
other student meetings must be laid
aside during bis stay but be main
tained that effective meetings could
not be held without adequate prep
aration in the form of prayer.
Hear Sherwood Eddy Spsak Tommoinraw
Sherwood Eddy, who has laboied
for twenty-three years in Christian
service in all parts of the world and
who has not received one cent of
salary for his work, is coming to
Nebraska with the same spirit. He
serves without pay and has abs Mutely
no monetary aims in connection with
it He is coming here, as one mem
ber of the committee has said, "to
present Jesus Christ as the solution
for the dissatisfied indifferent chang
ing aspect of the world."
Arrangements for the admission c"
students of other , colleges to the
meetings have not bee completed. The
undergraduates of several off the in
stituttions around Lincoln have been
clamoring for the privilege of hearing
Eddy speak and will be given pref
erence over the people outside of the
university in the convocations at Si.
Paul's church. Alumni have become
interested in the meetings and each
fraternity and sorority house has
been visited by some graduate in
tvvo interests of the Droeram of lec
tures. Indications poiift toward rec
ord breaking crowds for all of the
meetings as the organizations have
endorsed the pJans and the purposes
for which the meetings are being
held. Oone hundred per cent attend
ance has been pledged by many.

THE WORK OF SHERWOOD EDDY
The work of Sherwood Eddy fcr
the last twenty-five years is known
equally in the student worlds cf
Asia, Europe and America. Mr. Eddy
is a western man, born in Kansas.
He is a graduate of Yale and was a
post-graduate student at Princeton.
His travel for years among Ameri
can colleges has acquainted him with
all phases of American student life.
Those at the student volunteer move
ment convention at Des Moines ia
1919, will remember his breaking
away, from the subject assigned Mm
on the far east to grapple fearless!:
with the big social problems con
fronting America and the students of
today They will recall the 1,500
students who went to a neighboring
building to ask questions of Mr. Eddy
and how, for two hours, he replied
in the rapid fire of his frank and
fearless answers on the moral, ro
ligious, social, industrial and political
problems of the day.
His more than twenty years' ex
perience among the etudents and
leading men of Asia and his work
among followers of an or the world's
great faiths and religious, as well
as among students under the spell
of materialism and skepticism in Eu
rope, has broadened his vision and
sympathy for men. Although lor
many years in the orient, he is a mod
edn man in every sense of the wora.
In the intervals of bis intense ac
tivity among students of India and
his work for the depressed classet,,
he occasionally took a week off or

1922 Annual Fun Fest to be in
Complete Charge of J. Wil

University Night, the annual stunt
night of the year will be with us again
Fcruary 18th. The first University
Night program was held on February
1th, 1911, under the direction of Verne
Bates who was a member of the so
cial fommiltAe of the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Bates is now a member of the
Board of Regents so we presume that
the first event was under the direc
tion of a very capable man.
The first skits were put on by the
University Band, Regimental Cadets.
Glee Club, Medic Society, Dramatic
Club and the Fraternity Minstrels.
A few remark were made by Prof
essor Caldwell in which he predicted
that University Night would In the
course of time be what it is today
the biggest event during the school
year. Ever since University Night
has grown and its memories have
stayed with those who graduate from
year to year.
In the year 1919, Harold Hqltz was
chairman of the committee and the
sklU were staged by the various col
leges and organizations. The laws
and Engineers bad very fine skits and
the commercial club and Sigma Delta
Chi also participated In tbe rrogram
Under the able hand of Harold Holtz
University Night took a big leap for
ward and began to assume the garb
of the present day organization.

big game shooting in the elephant
and tiger jungles.
Mr. Eddy is a layman and a civil
engineer who left his special profes
sion to turn to human engineering
as the greatest calling in life. Equal
ly interested, like Theodore Roose
velt, in science, philosophy, litera
tare and big game shooting, he is
most of all interested in men. His
recent study of tbe social snd indus
trial problems in Europe brought him
Into cortact with the employers, la
bor leaders, and the young intellect
uals who are seeking a practical so
lution to the problems tht confront
America today.
Although his interests cover macj
phases of life, it is not at the cost oi
superficiality, fi in his life and mes
sage he rtrikes cleariy and with no
unceita'n sound a deep spiritual note,
as he grapples with the problems of
the modern world, and calls men
from the lower embitions of a crude
materialism to a high faith in God
and humanity. With Tolistoi, he be
lieves he has found "the meaning
of life." In a unique way he has a
mpsKae-fl for the college men of
America, summed up as follows:
Challenges to American Students.
1 The challenge of the present
world situation.
2 The challenge of the social and
industrial problem.
3 The challenge of present moral
issues.
4 The challenge of a rational
faith for the modern man.

ELIGIBLE TO RUN
Not Guilty of Violating Spirit of
Rule Says Investigation
Committee.
TI;e University of Neraska commit
tee on eligibility at a secial meet
ing held late yesterday afternoon de
clared AdoT-ph Wenle eJigibile to
participate in student activities, inas
much as he had not violated the
spirit of the Missouri Valley confer
ence rule regarding professionalism
in athletics. Accordingly Wenke's
name will go before the students in
today's election as a candidate for
editor-in-chief of the Cornhusker.
Wenke. alone with John Puceiik
and Clarence Swanson had been de
clared ineligibile to participate in tny
athletics or activities until a com
plete nvestigation of his case could
be made. He was charged with play
ing a game of football with an Amerl
can Legion team at Tecumseh on De
cember 3.
No further action was taken by the
committee in regard to the cases of
Puceiik and Swanson. Swanson has
graduated and consequently cannot
be affected by the decision. Puceiik
was a candidate for senior president
in the election being held today but
the decision of the eligibility commit
tee prevents his name from appear
ing on the ballot.

Polls fcr what gives promise of
proving the most interesting elec
tion in the history of the University
of Nebraska will open at 3 o'clock
this morning and run continuously
until 5 o'clock. Balloting is expected
to exceed that of the last fa.ll elec
tion when more votes were cast than
in any election in many years. Only
thirty freshmen failed to vote in that
election.
Polls will be located in the car
penter shop north of U hall on the
city campus. Polls will also be main
tained at the state agricultural col
lege. Students having classes at the
agricultural college on Tuesdays will
have to cast their votes therp as
their names have been transferred to
the Ag. roster.
Politicians are working hard for
both sides. The greater Nebraska
backers and the all University vcrk
ers were busy most of Sunday after
noon boosting for their candidates.
Improvised bands and orchestras ac
companied the political hounds about
:heir beats and sorority houses unci
dcimitories were busy all day listen
ing to the qualifications of the caL
didates. Little Rough Work Expected.
Little of the rough work character
istic of university elections is ex
pected in the Tuesday contest. Can
didates and politicians are expected
to keep away from the physical
catching of votes and to all. w stu
dents to go about the duty ol vot
ing peacefully.
7'iie vote of the university co-eds
is expected to play a vital part in
the election. The meeting Monday
nibt of university men and women
was well attended and candidates
were receive loudly. The co-e,ls
fie expected to cast their ballots for
merit rather than for the man and
this is tbe basis on which the two
distinctly different parties are work
ing. Three candidates have already
won their contests. Wendell Beige.
for freshman president; Paul Sinioi.
foi publication board, and Harry Frye
for sophomore class president have
been endorsed on both the greater
Nebraska and all-university tickets
and will enter the fight without op
position. Platforms Much Advertised
The new and important part which
the party platforms in playing in the
election this semester is seen from
the large amount of advertising which
the parties are giving to that phase.
Candidates have been found to en
dorse these platforms and if the
planks are followed out the Univer
sity of Nebraska should benefit ma
terially from the newer political in
terest
Not only Is tbe introduction of a
definite platform of .importance In
the election, but candidates have
been chosen with more care than is
characteristic of university politics.
In the past little has been paid to
elections other than insofar as win
ning them goes. This year, how
ever, the candidates which have been
chosen are all well known to univer
sity students and can well afford to
stand on their past records.
HOM EECONOMICS GIRLS
TAKE PART IN ATHLETICS
Interest and promotion of athletics
for the home economics women on
Ag. college campus will take a long
stride forward with the initial bask
etball game of history next Satur
day afternoon between the home Ec.
freshmen women and the senior team
of the school of agriculture. Two
teams of school of Ag. senior girls
compete Friday afternoon in the gym
nasium in machinery hall for the
championship of the school of agri
culture. The winners of this conteet
will be the opponents of a team of
freshmen college women who aie tax
ing their physical education on the
Ag. college campus this year. Be
cause it is the first game of the kind
ever participated in by home Ec. wo
men does not detract from the inter
est shown by the Ag. college stu
dents as a body in this game, as this
is another move toward the "more
athletics and greater college unity
program that was started at the last
college convocation. Hurrah for the
women, Ag. college is barking them,
win or lose.
