RAPIDLY
GOAL
PRESIDENT OF
REGENTS TALKS
BEFORE 'FROSH'
"What Dividends the Taxpayer
Expects on His Investment
Is the Subject.
INCREASE STATE WEALTH
"The University Demands Char
acter of Its Students," Says
Regent Landis.
In the customary annual address by
tlio president of the lioard of Regents
to the freshmen of tho Arts and
Scienco College of the University of
Nebraska, Hon. Harry D. Landis, '99,
Law '01, of Seward, at 5 o'clock Mon
day and 9 o'clock Tuesday iij the So
cial Scienco Auditorium, speaking on
"What Dividends the Taxpayer Ex
pects on His Investment," emphasized
the fact that "the welfare of the state
is involved in the maintenance of the
University at the highest level of ef
ficiency." He sketched how the University put
its plant freely at the service of the
country in the world war and how it
contributed over 3,000 of its students
and alumni to the military service;
traced how taxpayers, even in periods
of financial stress, through twenty
seven biennial apporpriations have In
terpreted the intent of the state's
pioneers who, with an "educational
consciousness," directed that the Uni
versity "shall be maintained;" and
stressed each student's three "definite
certain and fundamental duties to tho
taxpayers," namely, to develop char
acter; to work hard get an educa
tion; and as "products of tho typical
Nebraska homos," "to carry on at the
University the religion of your home."
"Keep faith with the taxpayers,"
urged President Landis; "realize both
your duties and your opportunities;
adopt religion, morality and knowl
edge as your bases to form a proper
dividend upon the investment" which
the state has steadily through the
half century made in demonstrating
undoviating belief in the State Uni
versity. "It Is absolutely true, I think, that
here in the middle west wo have evol
ved u type of culture that is different
from that of tho East and different
from the English. It is democratic
to the core. The taxpayers of the
state of Nebraska will not stand for
nny other kind."
"Through tho operation of the Uni
versity the wealth of tho state will be
increased, ns the past has demon
strated," stated Regent Landis. "Ne
braska can afford to snpHrt Its higher
Institutions of learning. The present
ilay problem is to show that the tax
payers cannot afford not to do so."
To invest in the University the then
comparatively small quarter million
iti 1S93, "when the clouds of economic
stress were so dark and thick, proves
the fundamentally sound thinking of
Nebraska's taxpayers." Tho lutest in
vestment ns compared with that a
decade ago almost kept pace with the
more than doubled attendance; but In
that decade the dollar's purchasing
power dropped one-half, while the
unit cost of instruction increased and
the University was forced to revise
Us educational program "to meet the
needs of a radically now and complex
civilization."
Tho recent burden "has been heavy
but by means of organization and
economy, the Institution has main
talnd Its standards. It Is always true
thai Appropriations mnd lor the Uni
versity never quite equal educational
demands; and sii'.co it is a pt'blic serv
ice inHlituUo'i ami not a busliu bs con
ducted for profit, tlifre u nc n serve
for future n.n."
Tho educational privllego of the
University, provided by tli taxpayers,
"Is not to bo abused." declared the
regent. "The University is not a re
formatory or an institution for delin
quents :" lienco those who fail to
measure up to the privilege extended
are weeded out.
"Earnstly seek the taxpayer's view
point and conscientiously measure up
to your responsibilities and duties,"
advised Regent Landis.
"The University demands character
( f its student," he declared. "Bend
your energy to the matter of character-development.
Tho very best
jroduct of Nebraska Is men and wom
en." "The University authorities will
rot knowingly grant a degree to any
student, however scholarly, who Is
deficient in character"
In stressing the fundamental duty
to work hard to get an education,
Regent Landis said: "Amusement, so

HAVE FIRST MEETING
Section of National Association
Gathers in Chemistry Hall
for Discussion.
The first regular meeting of the
Nebraska section of the American
Chemical Asocluiion lor 1922-23 was
iield last evening in Chemistry Hall,
L'r. Morris J. Wish, chemist of the
Nebraska Experiment station, spoke
on "Hour and Wheat Chemistry."
Dr. Wish, assisted by a number oi
post-graduate students, has been
carrying on extensive experiments in
the chemistry of flour. Dr. Wish told
of their work in endeavoring to de
velop gome laboratory tests lor wheat
by which it will be possible to deter
mine whether or not it will make
tood bread. These tests when com
pleted, will be valuable to Nebraska
farmers lor they will then be able
id guarantee their products.
Dr. 11. G. Doming, professor of Phy
sical Chemistry at the University of
Nebraska, spoke on "Reminiscence.
For the past summer Dr. Doming has
beeu engaged in Industrial work with
the firm of John H. Hanks & Sons
of Now York. They were able to
develop a process called "Selective
Flotation." This is a process which
takes ore formerly used only for gold
and silver, and makes -it possible to
yield copper, lead and zinu.
Dr. Doming also told of the progress
he noted in the chemical departments
In the twenty or thirty Universities
he visited while in the East. These
visits to various Universities has al
wavs been a source of much enjoy
ment to Dr. Demlng and it is this
characteristic which has earned for
him the title of the "Chemical Hobo."

POINTERS 10 REGIMENT
Tells of Position of R. O. T. C
in the Available Army of
the United States.
General George 11. Duncan, com
mander of tho Seventh corp area,
spoke to tho R. O. T. C. regiment
Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock.
Genera! Duncan emphasized the
vaaie if military training in preparing
tiio country for war, and in preparing
t lie students for their work in life.
"No one expects war and no one
ln! es for war," declared General Dun
fin, "hut so far in the course of
human development we have not
reai lied the stage where we can get
along without conflict. We can not
expect man with all his impulses and
passions to be absolutely peaceful."
The general pointed out that in case
of war the reserve of officers created
)y the R. O. T. C. would be the back
bone of the army. It would make
iii(.bili?.:.tion of forces easier since it
is easier to train the rank and file
of an army than it is to train the of
ficers. The efefct of the R. O. T. C. train
ing on the students was then dis
closed by General Duncan. He de
scribed the value of learning to di-ic-t
the efforts of others. lie told of
an rrmy officer, that his ability to di
rect was his most valuable business
a-oct. .This same officer, when he
retiieil, accepted a position as execu
tive in a business concern ,that paid
him three times as much as his army
saiary. The general also spoke of the
physical development and of the
power of self-control that came from
military training.
Harry D. Landis, president of the
bt.aid of regents made a short
speech, telling the students that their
work in the R. O. T. C. regiment fitted
them to protect their state and their
country.
Colonel C. II. Muller. R. O. T. C.
officer for the Seventh corp area gave
a few facts relative to the growth of
the military idea. He declared that
the enrollment in the corps in this
nrpa, had been tripled in the last two
years'.
Chancellor Avery, who presided at
the convocation and introduced the
speakers, emphasized the value of
military preparedness and told what
confusion resulted in the late war for
the unpreparedness of this country.

DEVINE SPEAKS
JIT
HELD TUESDAY
Outlines Position of "America
Among Nations" and Says
the U. S. Is Strong.
IN LINCOLN FOR THE WEEK
Says America Should Not Be
Isolated From Trading Na
tions of the World.
"In a world of revolution America
stands like an oasis in a desert or an
Island in the sea, firm In the convic
tion of stability. In a world of dis
tres and privation and hardship the
United States is not affected on a na
tional scale. The nation as a whole
has undiminished man power and
productive capacity, and can now
produce more wealth than before the
war," according to Dr. Edward De
vine in his lecture on "America
Among the Nations" in convocation
Tuesday morning.
Dr. Dcvlno is In Lincoln for the
week, and is conducting an institute
for the Social Welfare society. There
s probably no greater authority on
social work than Dr. Devine. Ho is
a former member of the faculty of Co
lumbia University and former editor
of the Survey. He was special rep
resentative of tho American Red
Cross in charge of relief in San Fran
cisco after the fire there in 1906, and
in Dayton, Ohio after the storm and
flood in 1013. In lniC Dr. Devine
spent six months in Russia as spe
cial agent of the American embassy.
Ho had charge of the bureau of re
lief and refugees of the American Red
Cross in Franco in 1017-1S. He was
president of the national conference
of charities and correction in 1000,
and president of one of the sections
of tile international congress on tu
berculosis which met in Washington
in 1SUS.
In speaking of the place of Ameri
ca among the nations of the world
today Dr. Devine expressed his con
viction that America does have for
eign obligations and responsibilieies.
Thcso obligations do not depend on
treaties made recently or on any re
lationships recently acquired. The ob
ligations do arise from the very sit
uations in which we find ourselves,
Dr. Devine said.
This nation always has been a
mixed people with peculiar obliga
tions and advantages. "We have had
to learn here, under pressure of con
ditions, what the whole world needs
to learn relationships."
This nation, made of diverse ele
ments, but with one loyalty and one
government, is stronger for its di
versities. Dr. Devine deplored the
fact that influences are at work now
that are tending to wipe out some
of the diversities. That states should
take pride In their diversities and va
rieties, and develop state loyalty, was
lauded by the speaker.
War and revolution from the crisis
in which the world now finds itself.
The crisis is not merely the shock of
war. There is no historical preced
ent of such widespread revolution. It
represents a disease, a pathological
condition of unrest, that is the re
sult of war. That condition is the
reason people are so ready to prac
tice socialism.
The United States as a whole is not
involved in a revolution. This country
has been less Influenced than any oth
er great nation.
Its institutions are secure on tne
whole. Changes will be made, not at
tho demand of pathological condi
tions, but the sane and stablo govern
ment. Institutions here stand firm
because the people believe in them.
In the world of distress and priva
tion people who have been skilled and
professionals, and able to care for
themselves, are now so reduced in
circumstances in many countries that
they have become public charges. This
is due to a lowered standard of liv
ing in those countries.
The productive capacity of this
nation is in excess of that which is
necessary to maintain a comfortable
standard of living for every person
in the country, tho the wealth is not
equally distributed. Two-thirds of the
people have an income of less than
$1,500 a year, but that Is a much
smaller proportion than In any of the
other countries. The average Income
here in much higher. "Does that not
create an obligation?" Dr. Devine
asked his audience.
Except In the Near East and certain
districts in Russia, the period of pri
vate philanthropy as an obligation is

Predict Defeat For
Freshmen In Annual
Olympics This Year
Freshmen will lie badly ben ten in
this year's Olympics, according to
sophomore officers. Excellent box
ers and wrestlers have been lined
up for virtually every place on the
sophomore squad. This does not pre
clude additional tryouts and changes,
if better men show up, according to
Ward Kelley, sophomore president.
Tryouts will be arranged for almost
nny time.
Committees will not be announced
until the quarterly reports are in the
office of the executive dean, since all
committee members must fulfill eli
gibility requirements similar to those
required of athletes.
To All Freshmen:
We have been asked to admin
ister punishment to all freshmen
not wearing the green headgear.
We are asking, in hopes that
this will not have to be done, that
all freshmen wear the green cap,
showing loyalty to the first-year
class and defiance to the sopho
mores. Make this a matter of per
sonal and class pride, not one of
obligation.

KOSMET KLUB SING
FOR FRATERNITIES
October Twenty-Seventh Set As
Date fcr the Semi-Anual
Song-Fest in Armory.
The second annual Inter-fraternity
sing under the auspices of the Kosniet
Klub will be held u week from Fri
day, which is October 27.
Present plans for the big get-together
of fraternity men call for a
meeting in the Armory at 7:13 on the
night before the Nebraska football
team plays the Oklahoma grid team at
Norman. Electric signs of the various
frrternities in turn sing two frater
nity songs and vie one another to
make the best showing.
Kenneth Cozier and Oliver Maxwell
of the Kosniet Klub, honorary men's
dramatic club, have charge of the
sing. They announce that Nebraska
songs will bo sung by the entire
crowd and that soma Kosniet Klub
songe, especially popular in the an
nual musical comedy produced by the
club, will be used at the sing.
Letters to the various fraternity
houses explaining the exact plan of
the affair will be sent o'.H in the near
future. The plan was a huge suc
cess last fall when hundreds of fra
ternity men swamped out onto the
bleachers of the athletic field and
sang their songs. Many of the fra
ternities imposed a fine on all active
men who did not show up for the
event and still others had all their
Lincoln alumni present to help put
their songs across.
Other schools carry out the plan of
the Kosniet Klub each, year and gath
er all fraternity men about once a
semester. I'niversities with stawiums
are especially successful in holding
the inter-frat sings as the stadium
makes an (deal place for the event.

Will Not Bother the Students
That Have Pledged to the

Stadium banners to the right of
iliem, stadium banners to the left ot
them, stadium banners in front of
them and stadium banners behind
call out to the school patriotism and
Cornhusker spirit and loyality of
every student on every part of the
campus.
Students who haven't pledged meet
these signs face to face every move
they make, and It must be with the
feeling of a criminal who Is being
haunted with the knowledge of his
deeds.
Students who have pledged can look
ihpse samo signs In the face and feel
a mighty stir of gratitude and satis
faction. The number of stadium build
ers buttons that are all over the cam
pus are good evidence of the number
ot layal Cornhuskers.
Headquarters for the campaign are
maintained in a big booth at Twelfth
and It, on the northwest corner, right
in the thick of the tide of passing stu
dents. The west side of the booth blades
forth with statistics as to the size and
cost of tho stadium. From the south
students are urged to be stadium
builders, and to "Say it with a
Stadium."
"Die deep for the Stadium. Do it
now," and "Have you made your

from the ranks of Nebraska's students
for t!i" building of a Memorial Stad
ium within the next two years.
The announced total of ? 10.00 for
the first day of the campaign proved
to lie ?:!,uo below the actual amount
which was secured in the voluntary
pUvIsinss on Monday. No new col
li'g"S had reported 100 per cent sub
scriptions by Tuesday evening, but a
re-check of tho Law pledges gave
them 1 r.." units for Monday for a quota
of IS I, as against the Dents who had
iubscribed their total of 100 units to

Ion, Phi Gamma Delta, and Zeta Beta

Tuesday evening.
This brings the total of 100 per cent
fraternities to sixteen and of sorori
tic a to three.
An appeal has been sent out by the
Arts aad Sciences committee that all
students in that college who possibly
can, should make their subscriptions
voluntarily at the booth on the first
floor of U Hall. On account of the
fact that a email committee has to
see thirteen hundred students and that
the college has no effective organ!
zation through which to work, it is
hoped that A. and S. loyal Cornhusk
ers will turn in pledges without com
mittee members asking. More work
ers can be used at the U Hall booth
all day today. Students desiring to
help the campaign in this way should
report to the booth and names will
be given them.
Recruit More Workers.
For the start of tho Wednesday
campaigning, a corps of a hundred
new workers has been recruited. All
the members of Iron Sphinx, Green
Goblins and Vikings will start work
tho first thing this morning to at
tempt to put a red button on every
Cornhusker before Wedncsuay even
ing.
As a matter of aiding the progress
r.f tlio i.-imnaiKU. students who have
already pledged, are asked to wear
their Stadium Builders' buttons wnere
they can be easily seen. If they will
do this, they will prevent themselves
from constant stopping and will help
the work of the Stadium campaign
greatly.
Only Estimates.
The total of SGr,000, which it is be
lieved had been surpassed during the
Tuesday campaigning, is only an es
timate. No accurate checks ot the
pledges was possible Tuesday evening
and only estimates could be made.
In the College ot Business Admin
istration, it is reasonable to suspect
that the denoted quota will be passed
by Wednesday evening. On a re-check
of the Monday totals, the Bizads had
337 units pledged out ot a quota of
G2S. It is reasonable to suspect that
at least 200 more units were pledged
on Tuesday and Wednesday should
see the quota entirely raised.
Other colleges which are being
looked upon as comers in the race
for 100 per cent pledgings are the
Engineering college and the Pre.
Medics.
