GIRLS DISCUSS "CREED"
AT VESPERS YESTERDAY

a talk on the NeNbraska Girl's creed.

Clara Dickerson and an "If for a Ne
braska Girl" by Ruth Lindsay. Mrs.
Roy Green an alumni of the Univer
sity of Nebraska1, a Black Masque and
a Y. W. C. A. worker talked on what
an alumni would think of the creeds
laid down for Nebraska university
girls. She said that a creed was nec
essary as girls needed a pattern to
go by. That girls are going to dis
cuss this creed and it is going to rep
resent the girls of the University to
the people of the state.
A vocal solo was given by Doris
Thompson. Copies of the Nebraska
girls croed were given to every girl
on entering.

TO
START HID WEEKS
Vacation Periods Changed for
Next Year With Only one
Day at Thanksgiving.
The annual spring vacation will be
gin Saturday, March 25, 6:00 p. m
and will close Saturday, April 1, 6:00
p. m., according to a report from the
office of the registrar. This will be
the last year that the students will
get a whole week of vacation.
The plan of vacations will b-;
changed for the calendar year of 1922
!3. By a vote of nearly ten to one
the student body, December 16, en
dorsed the plan of the faculty, call
ing for one day vacation at Thanks
giving, eight days at Christmas and
three at Easter. Under this plan Ne
braska will show up favorably with
Eastern schools. There can be but
twelve holidays throughout the school
year if the high standing is to be
maintained. Eastern, educators say,
and the result of the voting showed
that the students were very strongly
in favor of the high standing which
Nebraska deserved wit the eastern
schools.
This action of the studen.s in en
dorsing the 1-day vacation at Thanks
giving will insure a large crowd at
the "Turkey Day" football game next
rear. The Nebraska Cornhusker will
battle the Notre Dame gridiron squad
at that time in one of the mast lm-
nnrtnnt eames of the Nebraska sched
ule. At the Thanksgiving day game
last year the student section was prac
tically all filled with non-university
people who had purchased tickets
from the students who went home.
Thev also voted favorably for the
nian of having two days of registra
tor, urine the week of the state fair.
This wUl enable school to s:art
earlier and will also help to eliminate
some of the congenstion during resis-

VACATION
University Students Should Help
Boost For Their Own High School
Every loyal Cornhusker owes a
duty to his school to boost it to the
outside world at every possible time.
Now comes a real opportunity for the
students to ' talk Nebraska, w ith no
sacrifice to themselves, and with but
little effort. Once every yar more
than three thousand students come to
Lincoln for the annual Jiigh school
'.j "ketball tournament. These' people
he ery ones from whom we

To them this is a great trip. They
plan for months to make it and liiey
leave home with the fullest intention
to enjoy themselves. They arc In a
receptive mood. They seek Informa
tion, they seek pleasures and they
seek acquaintances among the univer
sity students.
If you are a live Cot-nhusker you

will make the most of this opportu
do it? Look up the boys from home
and see that they got over to the
campus. Show thent what u fine
school we have here. Tell them all
about the different colleges and when
you find which college they are most
interested ia if you can't tell them
the things that might be of interest
to them let someone else do it who
can but be sure that someone does.
Then also they must be entertain

Hnma Rnmor Reveals Inside Dope On
Alleged Members Of The "Fleece"
Call out the fire department bring
in the judges of the fiery ur.iverse
Something terrible has come to the
attention of those innocent 60uls who
placed their faith in the chaiming
co-eds who displayed their brilliant
locks in the recent conflab of the
Order of the Golden Fleece.
Dame Rumor has again entered the
realm of campus activities and the
ears of the ever inquisitive reporter
r.re hearing things. The whole thing
centers around the apparent high
brow actions of those designated co
eds who attended the luncheon of rod
heads last Saturday noon.
Ancient fables tell us that Jason,
the mighty hero of the Greeks, wan
dered hithef and thither throughout
the world, fighting and enduring
trials in an effort to win the prize,
the "Golden Fleece." Jason Indeed
was forced to go to a lot of trouble
to win his prize, but his experience!
find a modem da parable in the
rumor ' ""sed on the experiences of
the Ni aska "Golden Fleece".
It was early Saturday , morning
when a light haired coed tip-toed up i
to a certain druggist hare In town'
joy themselves, let alone for strang
ers to find clean high grada amuse
ment. Do you remember tut fiist
few weeks or even the first few nights
which you spent in this town? Then
take pity on these visitors and show
them how they may change a bored
evening into one of pleasure.
Realizing thut these visitors should
to be given special attention and that
it would be hard for them to find
proper amusement, some of the or
ganizations have arranged dances and
other entertainments. One of these
parties is the dance and carnival to
be staged at the Knights of Colum
bus hall, Friday night by the Iron
Sphinx. Different from the usually
subscription dances which are put on
by private individuals, this party will
furnish carnival effects and rtlresh
ments. Make a note of this and when
you meet groups of these students
from out in the state who have no
place to go on Friday night, tell
them of these parties and help them
to get tickets. Every Iron Sphinx
member in every fraternity house on
the campus has these ticketc for
sale.
Let's boost Nebraska to thess peo
ple who come to our very dorrstep
and entertain them. The better the
impression which we leave with them
the bigger our enrollment ir. future
years.
DR. VVJSSLER TO TALK
Noted Speaker From New York to
Address Students in Social
Science Auditorium.
Are you interested in what culture
is? In what constitutes the infer
ences between races and the import
ance of these differences? Do you
want to t-ecure a more correct idea
of what our present civilization de
veloped from and what tendencies are
at present working in society?
Dr. Clark Wissler of the American
museum of natural history of New
York will lecture Thursday night at
S o'clock in social science auditorium
on "Time Perspective in Culture and
Race." This topic has an pddod im
portauce because or the great re
cent revival of the subject of wond
history (and man's iplace in uaiure.
Here is a chance for all the readers
of Wells and other popularizers of
the advances in the science of culture
to hear an address by a scholar of
note, who is also a good speaker
Dr. Wissler is maKing a tour or
American universities in the interests
of the nationa research couucil, in
general, and of anthropology in par
ticular. He is curator of the division
of anthropology in the American ma
seum. One of the most prominent
of America's younger anthropoligists
his recent work on "The American
Indian," is considered the best com
prehensive study on the Bubject. The
middle west is no new region to Dr.
Wissler, who has made many first
hand studies of the plains Indians,
psneciallv as to their societies and
social organization.
and asked for a bottle of "Golden
Glint" or "Henna Wash." She didn't
care which bottle she was to get
all she wanted was a means by which
she could enter the luncheon of the
"Fleece."
Be it known at , this stage of the
story that all chemical preparations
are barred from the eligibility rules
of the "Fleece." That accounts for
the tip-toe work, noted in the prev
ious paragraph.
The druggist notified this young
lady that he was completely sold
out
A subsequent visit to more than
seven of the local druggists in the
city revealed the fact that the tints
which are guaranteed to put the fin
ish on near red hair were ali sold
out They had been sold out Friday
night the night before the meeting
of the "Fleece." .
Dame Rumor goes no further with
her story. The rest is arparently
left to the Imagination of the reader.
The reporter makes no inferences but
we are told that some of the priee
winners but that kind of a news
paper story might be libel.

Cluh.
SOTK OMAHAO MAN TO
ADDRESS RESEARCH CLUB
Speaker is One of the Most Prom
inent Men in the Packing
Industry.
The recent South Omaha packing
house strike will bo discussed at an
open meeting of the Industrial Re-
soareh club in the Grand hotel Thurs-
I uv
evening by C. R. Orchard, em-
ploying manager for the Armour &
Co., plant in South Omaha. During
the strike Mr. Orchard was appointed
official publicity manager, represent
ing all the packing plants, and all
official statements issued to Omaha
nevsphpers by the packers went thru
his hands. He is general chairman
of the employe representation sys
tem at the Armour plant nnd wiil
also speak concerning it.
This meeting Thursday is open to
all students and faculty members. A
50 cent dinner will be served at 6
o'clock. It will not be necessary to
make reservations. Those wishing to
attend and who are unable to get
there in time for dinner are urged
to come in before 6:45 o'clock.
In a recent conversation with a
member of the Industrial Kesearch
club, Mr. Orchard said that his gen
eral speech would be short as he pre
ferred to spend most of the time In
answering questions.
Br. Orchard's Record.
The following sketch of Mr. Or
chard's record while with Armour &
Co., has been furnished the Daily
Nebraskan by an official in the Ar
mour plant in South Omaha:
"Claude R. Orchard came to work
for the company as night time keep
er in 1903. In -1916, when the em
ployment department was psublish
ed, he was placed in charge because
of his unusual executive ability and
general knowledge of human nature.
He is keenly attentive to detail and
thoroughly familiar with all packing
house practices, though never having
had any actual experience as a "plant
man" he soon attracted the attention
of his superiors.
"As the institution developed, 'C.
R.' developed along with it, until to
day practically every industiie.l re
lations activity in the plant comes
under his direct supervision. lie sup
ervised the organization of the first
aid department which takes care of
ajl workers injured in the course,
of their employment and was install
ation of the plant newspa.pei. The
Armour Oval. He is now helping
to oryanize an interplant athletic
league among the five leading pack
ers on the South Side.
Directs Many Activities.
"Perhaps the most momentous ac
tivity with which he has been as
sociated was the inauguration of the
employes representation plan, of
which he is general chairman. He
will speak about it at ihe meeting.
"Other allied activities with which
Mr. Orchii rd is directly associated in
clude the plant service committee,
which has general supervision of all
local plant athletic activities; the
Armour band, now consisting of about
thirty pieces; and all tlie education
work which is going on in the pianl.
Immediately following the, war, he
was instrumertal in starting the eve
ning Americanization classes for for
eign employes in the plant, and is
now in charge of the organization of
a series of packing house practice
classes which have for their purpose
the teaching of foremen and workers
more about their immediate pobs.
"Mr. Orchard has won, without
question the respect and esteem of
every employe in the plant, and his
broad-minded democracy and ability
to see the working man's views poiot
has made him a personal friend of
all who know or have any dealings
with kim. There is no problem of the
worker too small to come to the at
tention of this inn, whot hsving
worked up from the "ranks" hi.nself,
has no trouble in .getting the view
point of the "men in the ranks."
"And topping all or these splendid
qualifications isf 'C. , R,'s unusually
good-natured personality. Ho Is the
type of man never too busy to have
a word with you and he can always
listen to the other fellow's story with
a genuine Interest"
Mr. Orchard is making a special
trip to Lincoln to talk before the In
dustrial Research club.
