Acting Dean cf Art3 and Science
"College Explains Its
Importance
TELLS OF DEVELOPMENT
Arts College Has Largest Enroll
ment and Is Oldest on
Campus
Tlio importance nml purpose ol' the
Ails nnl Science college were the
subjects of the freshman lecture
given Monday evening, by Acting
Dean A. L. Candy.
"Tlie Arts nnd Ccionoe college
stands for training in thinking rath
er than training In acting," declared
Dean Candy, "it stands lor a liberal
education."
The development of the modern
Arts and Science college was de
scribed by the Dean. He told how
In Koine and Greece students were
instructed in rhetoric, logic grammar,
arithmetic, geometry, music and as
tronomy. In the middle ages the
colleges of Europe began to devo'op.
but the idea of a separate building
or department for each subject of
study originated in America.
Dean Candy pointed out that while
there are ten thousand students in
the ten colleges of the University,
three thousand of these students in
the Arts college. Out of the loin
hundred instructors in the ten col
leges, two hundred belong in the Arts
and Science college. To further em
phasize the size of the college the
do: n explained that all the colleges
in the school require their students
to take some basic work in the Arts
college.
Dean Candy divided the studies in
the Arts college into four groups.
The first group consisting of labora
lory sciences, such as physics, bot
any, chemistry and zoology, gives
the students infi'mntion about the
things around them.
"No student with a liberal educa
tion should be without an acquaint
ance with at least one of the labora
tory sciences," Dean Candy stated.
The second group, the social
'sciences, is to acquaint the students
with their fellowmen and their cus
toms, habits and traditions. Phil
osophy and mathematics make up
the third group. These subjects de
velop a logical mind. In makina
plain the importance of mathematics.
Dean Candy told how Plato placed a
sign over his school ( in ancient
(i'eece, saying, "Let no one enter
here who ia not acquainted with
geometry." The languages make up
the fourth group of studies. The
laiigtiiir.es have a cultural value, but
above all they develop the power ot
toli-espression. Dean Candy pointed
out also that the study of languages
develops a knowledge of one's na
ti tongue.
'"ihe Arts college," said Dean
Candy in summing up its work,
"gives information, trains the mind
and develops the power of self-expression.
It stands for ideas, for
principles and for scholarship."
In closing the dean pointed out
that while outside activities are val
uable they are not really the things
for which students come to school,
and therefore should not be allowed
to interfere with regular work.
"A student should be able to saj
after he is out of school," the dean
concluded, "the things of the mind
are the things I cherish."

Chancellor Avery was present a',
the Inauguration of Charles Elliott
Cobbey as president of Cotner col
lege of Hethany Tuesday. Mr. Cob
hey was formerly pastor of the First
Chrustian church of Omaha, nnd is
a graduate from Cotner.
Mr. Cobbey in his speech of accept
ance said that he realized the honei
of this position, and the great respen
sibllity attendant upon it. The great
opportunity brought by the respons:
bility is to be found in the raw ma
terial presented by the student body.

the coming generation, and will take
its pdaco in the world in responsible
positions. He here referred to the

raduated from Cotner.
MEMBERSHIP STILL
OPEN JQR MCA
Students or Faculty May Fill Out
Blanks and Take to Temple
Building
Any student or faculty member do
siring to identify himself with the
University Y. M. C. A. may do so by
filling out a membership blank nnd
taking it to the Temple building. Over
2.400 letters have been mailed to stu
dents, but the ninety men who arc
combing the campus for members will
not be able to reach everyone. Any
one who has not been asked to join
but who wishes to, should ask for a'
membership blank at the Y. M. C. A.
office in the Temple.
The Y M. C. A. is an organization
of men of the University who desire
the application of the principles of
Christian religion to everyday prob
lems. There are no memneismp une.
The association is organized on a
straight service basis only, and every
one is invited to give whatever he can
of hi time to the club work.
The "Y" program is not an isolated
series of events, according to its offi
cers, but is a unified and progressiva
plan to develop Christian leadership
and foster Christian faith.
RarlJn Club Has
Broad Plans Ahead
With a membership of thirty, and
having lost only one member by
graduation, the Dartmouth radio as
sociation Is entering its sixth yea'
with prospects of enjoying the mo-s
active season since its foundatim.
The recent radio boom throughout
the country has brought forth many
technical innovations and a mulil
i,;., nf new enthusiasts, whose in
terest will be a great stimulus to
v.rnl orsanization.
Last spring the club's transmiums
apparatus was perfected and a reli
able working range of 500 miles at
tained. In some instances signals
from the Dartmouth station, n u.
-ere heard from a distance of 1.000
miles. One of the chief problems
before the association members this
fall will be adapting the new types
ot receiving apparatus to relay work.
Thp club will increase its facili
ties to acommodate guests wishing tt
hoar the radio phone programs. Last
year a small number of guests were
so entertained, but this ran u
planned to install a loud-speaker and
suitable amplifying apparatus which
will permit many more people to en
joy the concerts.
Numerous members of the club are
licensed operators and will be avail

October 7
Invitation week for the University
Y. W. C. A. was launchd Tuesday nnd
will continue for a week, with the
annual candle-lighting service at ves
pers next Tuesday as the grand
nale, to welcome new members.
Invitation week is not a member
ship campaign. Membership in the
Y. W. C. A. is now on a purely per
sonal basis. Sympathy with the pur-
rose of the Y. W. C A. is the only
requirement for membership. There
are no dues in connection. A finan
cial campaign will come later in the
month, the week of October 14.
The invitation week system of
Y. W. C. A. membership is now fol-
owed in many of the larger univer
sities and colleges. There has been
an effort to establish it as the basis
for' membership in city organizations
of the Y. W. C. A., but it has so tar
failed there. That issue was one of
the most hotly-contested questions at
the recent national convention of the
Y. W. C. A.
A sincere desire to be affiliated with
the Association, and a willingness tc
singn the pledge card, which bears the
mirnose of the organization, are the
qualifications on which every girl in
the university is invited to become
a member of the Y. W. C. A. Church
membership, denomination or creed
are not considered, so long as the
girl pledges herself to live up to the
purpose.
The application for membership
reads as follows: j
"The Young Women's Christian
Association of the University of Ne
braska', affrming the Christian faith
in God the Father; and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son, our Lord and
Savior; and in the Holy Spirit, the
Revealer of Truth and Source of
power of life and service; according
to the teaching of the Holy Scripture
and the witness of the church, de
clares its purpose to be;
1. To lead students to faith in Go.l
through Jesus Christ.
2. To lead them to membership and
service in tne inrisimu tni..-...
3. To promote their growth in
christian faith and character, espe
cially through the study of the Bible.
4. To influence them to devote
themselves, in united effort with all
Christians, to making the will of
Christ effective in human society, arid
to extending the Kingdom of God
throughout the world.
I am in sympathy with the purpose
of the Association as stated above,
and, it is my purpose to live as a
true follower of the I-ord Jesus Christ.
Signed
Any women of the institution may
be a member of the Association pro
vided she makes the above declara
tion.
Attached to the application is an
information card, which includes a
choice of committees on which the
girls may work.
Jeanette Cook, vice president ol tne
Y. W. C. A. has charge of the invita
tion week. She has three subchair-
mcn, each of whom captains a team
of workers. These workers will make
the attempt to see every girl in the
University, and will leave with each
a membership card. The card Is not
to be filled out at once. It Is the
idea that each girl will keep her carl
nd seriously think over the purpote
and the meaning of membership.
Momhpra of the teams will return
later and gather up the cards.

Student Directories
Will Be Distributed
The student directories, two thou
sand of them, are expected to appear
on the campus October 16. The bnokf
which were put in prominent places
on the campus last year for those who
had changed their addresses will be
absent, this year. The cards passed
around in classes Monday for this
purpose will take their place. All
pupils who have changed their ad
dresses since then are asked to re
port the change to the Y. M. C. A.
headquarters in the Temple.
The work now being done on the
directories is on the body containing
uldresses and affiliations. A num
ber of organizations have not handed
'n the names of their members, and
ibis is holding up the directory. It
is desired that all organizations get
n the nanuM of their members imme
diately. DRAWS LARGE VOTE
Annual Cadet Officers' Ball
Scheduled for Dec. 8--Opens
Formal Season
The election of the honorary
colonel for the Nebraska division ot
the It. O. T. C. which was held yes
terday in connection with the regu
lar election of the four class presi
dents resulted in a total of 534 votes
being cast. The names of seventy
eight of Nebraska's most popular
girls in the junior and senior classes
were turned in on the ballots.
The result of the election will re
main a secret until the cadet offi
cers' ball, which is scheduled for De
cember S, when the honorary colonel
will be announced. The co-ed win
ning the honor will be presented with
a new uniform by the military de
partment, which she will wear at
the ball.
The cadet officers' ball will mark
the opening of the formal season for
Nebraska's various organizations and
is always considered one of the big
University parties of the year. The
judges counting the ballots in the
honorary colonel contest report a
very keen race between several ot
the girls and the result was in doubt
until the last ballot had been
counted.

Freshmen Girls

Freshmen co-eds at "the University
of Indiana must wear green buttons
to distinguish them from the upper-
class women. For years the boys ot
the first year class have worn green
caps, but this is the first year that
the freshmen girls have been deco
rated. The ruling was made by the

OF EUROPBN TRAVEL
Secretary University Y. W. C. A.

at Vespers
The Passion Play. Its characters,
.citings nnd its gi cutest scenes were
liKeussed by Mi.-s I.rwa App'eny,
secretary of the University l. v
a .i vonnra Tni's.hiv afternoon at
Ellen Smith Hall. Special music
was furnished by Marvel Campbell
who gave a 'cello solo. Dorothy
Whelply presided.
"Kurope is a very green country,
I think, therefore more delightful to
travel through than our mi-bile
west," began Miss Appleby. "The
pinions little twists of the road re
vealing the little shrines about which
you all have heard. So when we
fame to Oberammergau, It seemed
very natural to see (he cross on
the mountain side above the village.
It was symbolical that the religious
life there reached a higher level
than in other places.
"The village itself has about two
thousand two hundred inhabitants
111 teen hundred are in the pl.iy in
some capacity. Oberamniergu is
about five centuries old. Tin pas
sion play was started in the seven
teenth century because of the do
liverancc of the village from the
plague. Everything was so spick and
span and so newly white-washed that
1 could not get away from the feel-
ing that it was a movie town set '-co. sneer, j..m. i .,
up for the scene. It was all so very ho ,,i,rl M"'0"- .hn" p,e
attractive. Every house had th-j 'o years on the arsity football

name of the owner and his oecupa- . .

paintings or pieces of statuary.
The men wore curious mountain
dress of an ornate type, which Miss
Appleby described. They all wo. e
their hair long, as no wigs were al
lowed in the play. She met the
family of Anton Lange, who play:
the part of Christus. The whole
family speak excellent English. T!u.
second time she was in Oberammer
gau she stayed at the home of the
aunt of the girl who plays the Vir
gin Mary.
'The play is largely given in the
men air, saiad Miss Appleny. inai
is, the theatre has sides and roof but
no end. A part of the stage is in the
open and as it rains very often in
the mountain country showers occas
sionally come up during the perfor
mance. This has no effect on the
players apparently or even on the
voices of the singers
Miss Appleby mentioned the fact
that those who come to the village
for the play are mostly American.
English. Spanish and Italian. The
value or German money has so de
preciated that few Germans could
afford to come for more than part
of a day. They brought their own
food bread and cheese. The play
was given three or four times a week
and always on Sun-lay. The villagers
went to church at six and to the
play at eight.
The play was the middle conception
of the life of Christ. The charac
ters, costumes. and scenes were
taken from the Italian painters.
Miss Appleby quoted two criticisms
from Pabbi Wise. She agrees with
him that the play did not represent
Christ as a product of a Jewish
home, and his followers as Jews.
She does not, however, agree with
him that Jesus should be represented
as a stern prophet of unrighteous
ness instead of the silent man in
the play.
"The play did not in any way o,
fend the sensibilities as I had thought
the presentation of such sacred
things by people might. It was so
beautifully, so wonderfully done. The
music was extraordinary," said Miss
Appleby.
Miss Appleby felt that Judas was
the greatest character in the play,
and that second to him was Mary
Minrri-filene. The Last Supper, and the
scene in the garden seemed to her
to be the greatests fcenes. Miss
Apileby pointed out that Judas was
not a villian.
