Sales on Final Day of
Campaign.
MASS MEETING TODAY
Urge Students to Watch Ther
mometer Registering Progress
in Drive.
The last chance to buy the Season
Athletic Tickets is offered to the
students of the University of Nebras
ka on Wednesday. The campaign
will officially clone on Wednesday
evening providing the goal of three
thousand season tickets has not
been readied during the day. More
than eighteen hundred of the tick
ets had been purchased Tuesday eve
ning and the rest of the stulent quota
must be sold on the last day of the
cam paign.
Students who do not avail them
eolvcs of the opportunity to buy the
season athletic tickets at student
prices during the campaign will be
forced to pay adult prices at the
gales of the football games and all
other athletic events. The seating
capacity of the university Armory is
so small that the committee in charge
of the ticket sole believe that only
those who hold season tickets will
be able to attend th basktball games.
The tennis courts have been closed
throughout the year to every student
not holding a season ticket. "The
sum total of the whole proposition,"
says the chairman of the drive, "is
that only students who hold the sea
son tickets can really be loyal Corn
huskers and support the team that
is working so hard for them."
Students are urged to watch the
thermometer in the east end of the
armory to observe the progress ot
the ticket sale. The last day of the
campaign should mean that more
than a thousand tickets will be sold
on the campus.
A large mass meeting of the entire
student body will be held Wednesday
at eleven oclock in front of the ar
mory. All the old "N" men are
scheduled to take part in the parade
and band concerts which will imme
diately preceed the meering. Stu
dents are requested to gather in front
of the armory at ton forty-five In
order to be in time for the speakers.

ATHLETICTIGKETS
FIRST VESPERS
HELD TUESDAY
"Friendliness" Keynote of First
Services Held at Y. W. C. A.
This Year.
Friendliness was the keynote of the
first Y. W. C. A. vespers held Tues
day afternoon at Ellen Smith Hall.
A hymn by the vesper choir, followed
by a patriotic song, the scripture
lesson, and a prayer, opened the pro
gram. Dorothy Williams, president
of the University Y. W. C. A., told
briefly the story of lonesome Mary
Alice, and how she found that the
secret of happiness Is "Everybody's
lonesome. In trying to keep someone
else from being lonesome, happiness
comes."
"Here In tho University probably
everyone else Is ns lonesome as you
are," concluded Dorothy. "Be friend
ly, and in thinking of others' lone
somenoss you'll forgot your own."
The members of the cabinet were
then introduced as girls who are glad
and willing to help new students to
become acquainted and to find the
Y. W. C. A. work they like. Each
member gave a" short summary of tho,
work she had charge of.
"I want you to remember that my
office is never a closed one," said
Miss Erma Appelby, secretary of th
University Y. W. C. A. "If the dooi
Is shut, open it and let me know you
are waiting. I am lonesome too, and
I expect you girls to save me from
it."
Miss Appolby explained the work of
the social service and Americaniza
tion committees. She advised only
girls who are sure of their time and
who have had experience or training
along those lines to apply for such
work.
Miss Appelby concluded her talk
with an announcement of candle light
service which will be held Tuesday,
October 10. "Come to that vesper
service if you can come to no other
during the year," she finished.
Special music was furnished by
Sylvia Cole who sanaga "I Come to
Thee," and Jaquellne Bost, who gave
a violin solo. Dorothy Williams
made announcements concerning Miss
Heppner's tea Thursday afternoon and
the Y. W. C. A.-Y. M. C. A. party
Saturday night. The choir sang the
benediction.

Dawson and Dr. Clapp
Install Novel Feature in
University.
to
Physical training for the correction
of uneven of sub-normal development
will be a feature of the campaign
planned by Dean F. T. Dawson and
Dr. Clapp. As physical training is
not required at Nebraska of those
who take military drill this was con
sidered necessary.
"We have in mind the freshman
particularly," said Dr. Clapp. "al
though the work is open to any man
in the University." Each freshman
as he is examined will be informed
if he is unevenly developed or sub
normal in any way and referred to
Dr. Clapp who will prescribe the
course of treatment to correct the
fault. The work will be in Dr.
Clapp's charge. Most of tho exer
cises proscribed will be taken at
home, as the work will probably be
so different for each man that no
class can be formed. If enough men
are found whose faults are the same,
classes will be organized.
Nebraska Is one of the few larger
schools where physical training is
not compulsory, and in the opinion
of Dr. Clapp some system of exer
cises for the under-developed is neces
sary. "We believe that any man who
knows that he has a serious physical
defect will want to correct it," said
the doctor.
Classes will be started in about
two weeks as soon as the examina
tion of students is finished. Each
man will then be informed of his
faults and if he desires bo may cor
rect them.
TO VISIT CAMPUS
Delegation Touring United States
Will Arrive Here Saturday
Morning.
A delegation of British notables will
visit the University of Nebraska cam
pus Saturday, on their educational
tour of the United States. The group.
representing the Sulgrave institution
of England, is scheduled to arrive in
Lincoln at 7:45 Saturday morning in
their own special parlor car. They
leave at 4:30 Sunday afternoon.
The agricultural college campus is
one of the main points of interest in
the Lincoln visit. They will also
visit the city campus, but will go over
the farm campus more in detail.
To found good feeling and to pre
vent any misunderstanding among
English speaking people everywhere,
is the object of the visit of the dele
gation to this country. The men and
women in the group want to see the
country "as is" and to meet the
people. It is an educational tour.
The party arrived in New ork
Sunday on the Adriatic. At Pitts
burgh American and Canadian Sul
grave members joined them. Before
leaving that city they will unveil a
statue of Wihiam Pitt, the gift of
the Sulgrave institution, and in
Washington they will dedicate stat
ues of Burke and Viscount Bryce,
also gifts of Sulgrave to the Ameri
can people.
Sixteen cities will be visited on the
tour, including Omsha, Lincoln, To-
peka, Kansas City and Sioux Falls.
While in Lincoln the entertainment
if the delegation will be sponsored
by the Lincoln Chamber of Com
merce. A luncheon and possibly a
dinner will be given for them and
there will be auto trips to all points
of interest in the city and over the
highways in the vicinity of Lincoln.
A representative of the British
government will be a member of the
party, though the mayor of Lincoln
has not yet been informed of his
name. Premier Lloyd George was
invited to visit Lincoln, but is un
able to accept the invitation of the
mayor.

To Impose Hundred Dollar Fine

and
read that innocent-sounding message
to home, and therein was the begin
ning of a serious time.
It isn't all ignorance of the law.
That's quite certain from the text of
the one note made public. Dean Eng
herg has received complaints that
several students here in this Univer
sity have overstepped the traces and
re sending written matter home in
their laundry bags. Parents are just
as bad as their student children in
disobeying the law, because they are
sending letters with the return
laundry.
Either people don't know, or know
ing, don't let it trouble them any,
hat sending any writing, letters.
notebooks or anything of that nature
in packages, is contrary to the law.
Written matter is first-class mail,
and as such commands higher rates
of postage than ordinary packages.
Several students have been caught
in the offfnse this semester, and
they may become involved in serious
trouble as a result. Authorities hope
to make an example of these few as
a warning to other students who may
feel the calling to save the price of a
postage stamp the same day they
send the weekly laundry home.
For the first offense of sending
writing In a package the penalty Is
to pay full class postage. In the
case of a laundry bag first-class post
ace would amount to four dollars, or
approximately that amount. A fine
of $100 is the penalty that will fall

offenses the culprit will land in the

"From College to Penitentiary," or
An Inside Survey of Slate Institu
tions," might make a good topic for
theme, but perhaps ctfi second

sity may not desire such publicity.
Why Blame Men
For Being Fresmen
Will you please tell us why the men
frcshies" of the University are the
only ones who have to really suner
because they are fresh? You, of
course notice that the gent'me.i are
wearing 111 green caps upon their li'l
green heads, but what are the women
wearing? Answer: Just the regula
tion flapper hats with a slight varia
tion, not the symbolic green which
marks their distinctive classification.
T ain't right that the men are the
only ones who get an opportunity to
reveal openly the honor of being a
freshman. Green hats, made in some
'vogue" fashion would look quite well
upon bobbed heads or even heads that
have not had the courage to have the
tresses clipped. It would be very
satisfactory" indeed to have some
means of telling which girls arc
"fresh" and which ones are not.
Now that we have decided to have
green caps for freshman girls in the
future it is essential that we persuade
Magee's to present them as gratiously
as they did the little green, red-tipped
thimbles that at this moment adorn
the heads of Nebraska's youngest men
and the ones upon whom she will de
pend for all things in the near and
far future.
Adopt New System in
University Notices
A new system will be followed this
year In regard to the University
notices. Due to the lack of space it
will be impossible to run the notices
for more than two days. Notices will
be run the day before the event and
the day of the event Material that
can be used in the calendar will be
run all week. Organizations wishiug
ttt have their meetings in the
U-Notioes will nlease put the notice on
the spindle in the Daily Nebraskan
office in the southwest corner of Ad
ministration Building.
CITY PLANNING WILL
BE FFATURE SUBJECT
Professor Evinper Outlines Work
for Coming; Year Inspection
Trips Planned.
Propaganda publicity, the educa
tion of the people to appreciate the
work constitutes one of the chief
functions of the city planning depart
ment of the Conservation and Sur
vey Division of the University oi
Nebraska, according to Mr. M. I.
Evinger, who heads this work in ad
dition to his duties ns associate pro
fessor in the Civil Engineering le
parlnient of the College of Engineer
Ing. "The citv planning itself con-
sists of planning the city to fit the
topography of the surrounding conn
try. The streets poould follow nat
ural routes as much as possible. In
stead of being made a pure checker
board affair as in many towns." In
stated. "Plattsmouth and other
towns along rivers have an especially
hilly territory and need careful plan
ning," he explained.
Basic plans for this work in Kear
ney, Nebraska, are now near comple
tion. With the coming of the fall
months many of the prominent citi
zens who have been most interested
will he able to set to work in earnest
and accomplish much. It will be Mr.
Evingors part to assist and advise
them in the preparation of plans for
future extensions. The actual work
is done by technical men in the em
ploy of the city.
"We hope to start with the larger
cities and work down'" he went on.
"although, of course, smaller place
are more progressive and want the
same help. Omaha has its official
city planning committ ion and Lin
coln has a committee from the Cham
ber of Commerce. This dispof-es of
the larger cities."
"Our work is all of an extension
character," he added. The means of
obtaining proposed improvements are
left entirely to the towns themselves.
Kearney was stopped for a time in
the building of its boulevard system
because some of the property owners
along the route refused to pay for
iha nnit of navine. The city raised
the money in another manner and
went ahead with the work.
As soon as classes are well started.
Mr. Evinger hopes to he able toi
spend his Fridays and Saturdays on '
inspection trips and in conierence
with the leaders in towns Interested
in securing a logical municipal devel
opment through comprehensive phns
for the future.
SWEZEY TELLS OF
EXPERIMENT IN LIGHT
Describes Visit to Mount Wilson
Observatory and Tests
Made There.
When Goodwin D. Swezey, pro
fessor of astronomy of the University
of Nebraska visited the Mount Wilson
observatory, an attempt to ascertain
a new value for the velocity of light
was being made. The experiments
were being conducted under me
supervision of l'rotessor w lcnaeison
of Chicago I'niversity. The beam of
light was sent from Mount Wilson to
Mount Baldy, approximately 24 miles
away. The distance pet ween ine i
mountains will be measured by the
U. S. survey and will be accurate to
within a few inches.
The Mount Wilson observatory.
which is about twenty miles from Los
Angeles, lias the largest telescope in
the world. It is of the reflecting
type and has a mirror one hundred
inches in diameter. The telescope
itself is about fifty feet long. The
movable parts weigh about nineiy-
five tons, according to l'rotessor
Swezey, but the action is very
smooth, being controlled by motors.
The observatory owns a number of
other telescopes the next largest of
which is sixty inches in diameter.
The observatory is a very quiet place,
being away from ai! traffic. It is
roached by a beautiful winding road.
When it was built the parts ot the
telescope had to be carried to the
summit on trucks. A stage carw
the travelers to the top of the mdun
tain where a hotel is situated. About
the only thing which is open to the
public during the day is the so-called
museum, which is a gallery of astro
nomical pictures and transparencies.
Professor Swezey also attended a
meeting of the American Astronomi
cal Society which met at the Yerkes
observatory at Lake Geneva, Wis.
