A comparison of the relative heat values of corn and coal is made in an article on the "Heat Value or Corn" by Prof. W. L. DeBaufre, chairman of the department of Mechanical Engi peering In "Power" magazine tor August 8. So many inquiries were re ceived by the University last winter regarding the heat value of com, when tie price of coal mounted so high and the price of corn decreased, that an Investigation was made 1n or der to answer with reliable Informa tion. The article states that 60 bush els of corn on the cob or 63 bushels shelled will produce as much heat as one ton of bituminous coal. At present prices, corn would be a more expensive fuel than soft coal. Prof T. A. Kiesselbaek and Prof. T. H. Goodding of the Agronomy depart ment, and Prof. F. W. Upson of tbi Chemistry department co-operated with Professor DeBaufre in the in vitfigation. Dean L. A. Sherman Moves to U. Hall University Publicity Office) Dean L. A. Sherman of the gradu ate college has moved his office from the Administration building to Unl versity Hall 101. His former office will be occupied by F. T. Dawson, dean of men. Cramb To Succeed Simon As Junior On Publication Board Harry Frye, president of the class of 1924 has announced the appoint cent of Norman L. Cramb to the Stu dent publication board to fill the posi tion left vacant by Paul Simon, the Junior member of the board. .

Borrowman, formerly a professor of chemistry 1n the unl versity of Nebraska, visited the cam pus for several days during the past week. The high school pupils of Pleasant Dale accompanied by their principal and superintendent, visited the museum Friday. Grace Gannoz n2 of Omaha visited at the Alpha O house Saturday. Ag. College Professor Entertains Classes Professor C. W. Smith of the Agri cultural College entertained hi two engineering classes ait his home on Thursday evening of last w-eek. Pro fessor Smith stated that the Idea of the occasion was to become better ac quainted. Kach of the boys told his name, the town from which he came and its notoriety. After a round of interesting games the boys were very delicately escorted into the paddling line which consisted of a shingle on which were pie, marshmallows and a candle. The boys then made merry over 'brimming glasses of delicious cider. OUT FOR SEPTEMBER Colleg-e Publication Full of In teresting News Concerning Athletics. The September number of The Un-i versity Journal, just ' out, contains much interesting information an.l news of last year's work. On the rover is a picture from last year's Nebraska-Oklahoma game, with this year's football schedule below it. The editorials lay much stress upon athletics and the new stadium. Men tion is made of the new Princeton Memorial Skating Rink, and Corn huskers are urged to be as loyal as ae the "Tigers." The new stadium is in sight, however, a total of $117, 126.75 having so far boon subscribed. The need of the stadium, a new gum- nnsium, and new equipment is evi dent when we look at the Athletic track records of last year. In the National Collegiate Track and Field Meet held last Jnne in which 29 schools were entered, Nebraska took seventeenth place. In co-ed athletics we fared a little better, taking second place in the National Telegraphic Meet, but we failed to get a repre sentative on the American team that left for Paris in June. With decent equipment there is no doubt but that we could do much better. Changes in administration are also noted, namely the appointment of Coach Fred T. Dawson as Dean of Men; the resignation of Neil T. Chad- derdon and appointment of J. K. Sel- leck as agent of Student Activities; and the resignation of William Pay and appointment of Paul McCaffrey as Y. M. C. A. secretary. Figures for last year show an enroll ment of 8,200 students for the whole year 1921-22 with 8,200 summer school students. New gifts to the University consist in 82 Masterpiece of Beekwith, pre sented to the School of Fine Arts, and in a new flagstaff encircled by Marble set, presented by the Class of '21.

University Instructor Visits Many Schools on Recent Tour Work and pleasure need not con flict, if one is as well traveled as Miss Laura Belle Pfeiffer, who visited the history departments of nine uni versities and colleges while on tier vacation this summer. The University of Washington at Seattle was Miss Pfeiffer's first stop Here she found considerable building In progress, the new buildings being of a light brick similar to that used in nur own new structures. At the entrance to the campus stands a largt statue of George Washington, which is greatly treasured and is soon to be Temoved to a prominent hill-top. At Tacoma she visited the high school stadium which is one of the largest in the United States. It is bunt on the water front and the spec tators have a beautiful view of the blue Pacific as well as the contest, while the beating of the surf mingles with the cheers f the crowd ever urging the athletes onward. Portland, Oregon is the home of Reed college with a limited enroll ment of 800 students, most of whom specialize in the social sciences. Reed has adopted the Oxford style of arch! tecture and is erecting several new buildings. It was to go to Reed col lege that Prof. Noble left Nebraska. While in Portland Miss Pfeiffer en Joyed a drive along the Columbia high way, one of the wonders of our conn try, which Marshal Foch pronounced UMMIA NKUUASKA, TliKSHAY, 8K1TKMUK11 DEAN FERGUSON T YEAR ENGINEERS Dean of Engineering College Urge Frosh to Mix With Men of Other Colleges FRESHMEN MUST WORK Students Should Take Up One Line of Activity and Follow It Out. "Don't forget that you are a student of the University of Nebraska as well as of the College of Engineering" warned Dean Ferguson in the first for mal address of the year to freshmen, mal address of the year to freshmen engineers Monday, at five in M. E. 206. "The advantages of a university over a pure technical school come from the eoniacts made with the oiher depart ments and their faculties; especially ;hose of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Law, and Tiusinoss Admin istration. Many contacts should be made through the students of these other colleges. Be active in the affairs of your class as well as in the depart mental engineering; societies and the combined society, American Associa- ion of Engineers. It is well to enter actively into the affairs of the A. A. E., the society responsible for the only engineering publication on the cam pusThe Blue Print four issues of which are made each year. "Do not, however, enter into every student activity that is brought to your notice, or your classroom work will surely suffer. There is a ten dency to do too much, and you should limit yourself to those things that peculiarly appeal to yon. Take part only where your work can be of the most advantage to yourself, your col lege, and the University," he con tinued. "Opportunity will offer to take elec- lives, from time to time, but do not confine yourself to electives in the College of Engineering. You can not take too much English. There are many courses in other colleges, that might apeal to you," he advised. "No great difference between your course and that of any other engi neer will appear to you the first year. This means that before entering spe cifically technical subjects you must have a good foundation in mathe matics, physics, chemistry, mechanical drawing and English. This is a dis tinction from ihe trade school where you will not receive sufficient ground ing to enable you to stand out in ad vanced work. We cannot give you the latest information concerning manu facturing processes and shop practice, but our hope is that you will find yourselves more resourceful after your studies here," he explained. Mr. Ferguson will speak to the fresh men again next Monday. After that the lectures will be given by various faculty members, including some from the other colleges. Y. W. C. A. ELECTION Nominees for Y. W. C. A. sec retary are: Isabel Fouts and Lila Wyman. Election at Ves pers. the most impressive thing in America The beautiful campus of the Uni versity of California at Berkeley was next in her line of travel. The green hills, sturdy oaks and gleaming white buildings make the campus a lovely spot dear to the hearts of all who visit it. Miss Pfeiffer had previously been there in 1915 and it was with great pleasure that she renewed her ac quaintance with the department there. Especially impressive are the librirv, building and Campanile, both built of white gTanite. From the top of the latter a splendid view of the entire bay region is obtained. One can see from Alameda to Pont Richmond and San Raphael and perhaps watch a fog roll in from the Pacific and slowly blot out the view. The library is well equipped and has many duplications in books, a very valuable help to both students and instructors. ProfessoT Bolton took great pains to explain the plan of work and is proud that of the 25,000 at the school, 1,800 freshmen and 2,300 npperclassmen were regis tered for one history course. At Los Angeles Miss Pfeiffer visitt-4 relatives and motored to all the im portant places of interest, seeing the missions f Santa Monica and Santa Capistrano and the Mount Wilson ob servatory, where she looked at the moon through the reflector, the larg est telescope ot Its type in the world.

Military Department Insists on Freshmen Wearing Green Caps (University Publicity Office) To establish at Nebraska the green cap tradition for freshmen, which is a fied tradition among eastern nnl versit'es and which has been estab lished in several middle-west univer sities, is the purpose of co-operative plans by the departments of athletics and of military science and tactics. The military department, under Act ing Commander Major Sidney Erick son, is insisting upon the first-year men wearing their green caps when they report for drill and is co-operating with the athletic department in emphasizing and developing the uni versity spirit. Drill periods are cut short a few minutes to permit the candidates for appointment as cheer leaders to lead the cadets in cheer ing. This serves a dual purpose: It helps In picking the best cheer-leaders and it teaches the new students the university cheers and songs.

Dear Freshman Friend: You have probably seen girls to the campus wearing "N" sweaters, and thought they belonged, perhaps, to some athletic men friends ol theirs. If you have thought this you are wrong, for each of these girls earned her own sweater, by hard work in sports. You. too. have seen the W. A. A. bulletin board in the gymn-iMnm. spattered with all kinds of notices, such as "Sign here for Mike"; "Do you play Soccer? '; "Tennis Tourney Net Week", and many other ap peals to girls who love sports. Did you ever wish yon miRht walk right up and sign them all? The Women's Athletic association awards r.n "N" sweater to every girl making 1.200 points in sports during her school career. The Women's Athletic Association also wants every girl in school out for one sport, at least. Those notices and appeals on the board are for you as much as for any one. The next time you see a hiko posted that looks good to you. sign t and get out and meet some new puis. Or get into the first sport of the season (soccer) and lenrn the game. our chance on the class team is a good one if yon are willing to work. This is the svstem by which points w rded: Members on first class teams of the following sports. 100 points: Soccer, ho, key, basketball, baseball. Fifty points additional to members on class teams tha twin tournaments. Fifty points for members of second class teams in same sports. Twenty point for members on class teams in tennis, track and swimming. (As much 100 points may be made in tennis and swimming, each, according to individual merit.) Twenty-five points a semester may be made for biking forty miles. New Ruling: Mid points mav be made for hiking each semester. For each additional ten miles exceeding the 40 miles 5 extra points will be awarded. Points mav also be made in aesthetic darning. So you see the athletic girl may easily win her letter dunng school, and every girl mav earn membership in the liveliest girls' organization on the campus. Sign the enclosed card and get acquainted with athletic women at Nebraska. Liverpool Professor Pays Miss Pound Fine Compliment (University Publicity Office.) The summer number of the British pJiiloJogicaJ periodical, the "Modern Language Review," published at Cam bridge, has as the initial article in its reviewing columns a highly compli mentary discussion of Prof, Louise round's "Poetic Origins and ihe Bal lad," from the pen of Allen Mawer of the University of Liverpool. Profes- sorMawer writes: "Miss round makes an important contribution. In a se ries of incisive, pointed and well-informed chapters she endeavors to de molish one by one the main positions of the romantic critics, while in an other chapter she advances in highly tentative fashion her own views as to the literary history of the ballad." Professor Pound's next book, "Amer- tfoTi Ballads and Songs," is now in press. It is to be issued soon Scribner's. by University Glee Club Elects New Members As a result of the tryont for the University of Nebraska glee club held Monday night, the following men were selectedto fill the vacancies of the club: Hugh Poore.

Family of Owls Captured by Professor Dawson at Waverly About five weeks ago, Professor T W. Dawson of the department of ento mology received word that there was a family of barn owls nesting in a bam near Waverly. The farmer had the erroneous idea that the owls were ceting his chickens and desired to be rid of them. Barn owls seldom or never eat chickens. An invesgitx' at the Smithsonian Institute at Wash ington, D. C shows the diet of two barn owls during a certain length of time. They ate 1144 field mice. 452 house mice. 134 common rats . 64 shrews, 1 bat, 1 mole, 1 rabbit and 30 birds such as song sparrows. Nev ertheless the notion gave Professor Dawson a-chance to get some birus on which to make an lnieresim study. The family consisted of tj old birds and six little ones. During the process of capture they set up a hiss ing that would put a dozen steam en gines to shame. When brought to the plant industry building, the family was placed in an open box on the porth in the hope that the old ones, would come and go as they pleased so that the method and material for feeding the little ones could be studied. But the older ones became dissatisfied with this system anct left. Then the feeding of the young ones became real problem. Meat seemed to be the only food for which sects. But the voracious appetites of PROF. SENNIKG GIVES LECTURE BY RADIO University Instructor Has Educa tional Talk Broadcasted in day Evening at Star. Protessor John P. Senning of the political science department, deliv ered a lecture by radio, at the invi tation of the Lincoln Daily Star, at the radio station of the Star Friday evening, September 22. In the course of the discussion, Professor Senning bi ought out that the success of any democracy is dependent upon an in telligent public opinion. Every citi zen who participates in the selection of candidates for office and the de: termination of policies should be well informed as to the qualification of those who are running for and also upon campaign issues. The vote registered in any election should express a judgment that has been arrived at after an impartial consideration of all the factors in volved. Otherwise an election is meaningless and a farce. The de;-is ion of the voter, if it shall mean any thing, must express a conviction as to the real merit of candidates and as o the policy that will promote the best interest of the community. The highest prerequisite of public . is an impartial political education. Freshman Commission Holds First Meeting The Freshman Commission of last year will hold its first meeting in the form of a get-together dinner Thurs day evening at 6 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall. The most important busi ness will be the nomination of girls for the new commission. Kach mem ber is permitted to name three girls. and the commission will be chosen from the joint nominations of the old commission and Uie T. W. C. A. cabi net. There are twenty-five members. cts. Bpt the voracious appetites of six growing birds were such as to cause much alarm from the financial standpoint. Cheap meats were pro cured and the process of growth con tinued. . Then one day, becoming alarmed, one bird broke its leg directly above the knee. This showed that they were not getting enough bone-building material so bone meal was added tc their rations. But it was too late and all but one bird had to be dis patched, all their legs breaking in the same place. The other bird's leg was fractured. but it is mended now and he is al most fully grown. After getting a taste of mice he refused all other food. The mice are swallowed whole. But he longs to get away from his life of captivity and his instinct calls him toward the great outdoors. The whole family has been photographed and some interesting pictures made. K University of Nebraska band has been placed around the leg of the remaining bird and as soon as addi tional pictures are secured he will be given his freedom. He win then ttke up his abode in some evergreen which suits 1-s choice, probably In Wyukfc, and will start a reign of ter ror among the mice which may have chosen the same vicinity for their homes. 1 STARTS CAMPAIGN FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS , Beautiful Pri2e$ for Dormitoriei I and Sorcrities Getting Most ; Subscriptions.
