Students In the Nebraska School of
Business raised $100 for the fund.
In a proclamation dated November
27, President Harding asks the gov
ernors of the states to make efforts
to raise additional funds. The proc
lamation reads in part:
"The need as revealed in the lat
est cable reports from Grecian ter
ritory and the Near East far exceed
all previous calculations made for the
relief of this crisis. The response to
date has been altogether Inadequate.
I am sure the people of the United
States will grasp the magnitude and
the pathos of the situation Involving
the absolute destitution of over a
million and a quarter of women, chil
dren, and old men.
"I request the governors, mayors,
business and philanthropic organiza
tions, and all other citizens to hold
this tragedy In mind during Thanks
giving week, and I appeal again to
' you to make a response equal to the
emergency and worthy of the gener
ous and humanitarian spirit of our
great republic."
The committee In charge of the
Near East Relief campaign In Lin

Professor Bradford Elected Mem
ber of Executive Council for
Agricultural Education
The annual convention of the Na
tional Society for Vocational Educa
tion was held at Detroit, Mich., last
week. This convention is for mem
bers of the Society who are interested
in Agricultural, Home Economics, In
ddustrlal, and Commercial Education.
Eight hundred members were present
and represented institutions from
every state in the u 'ion.
The University of Nebraska was
represented by Professor Harry E.
Bradford, chairman of the depart
ment of Vocation Education, Miss
Beulah Coon, assistant professor of
vocational education in Home Econ
omics teacher training, and Miss
Margaret Fcdde, chairman of the de
partment of Home Economics.
In the election of officers for the
coming year, Professor Bradford was
elected a member of the executive
council representing Agricultural Ed
ucation. The purpose of the convention Is
to discuss the progress of vocational
education, receive reports from var
ious states as to what they are doing
in various lines of work, and listen
to the plans of leaders of vocational
education, receive reports from var
ious states as to what they are doing
in various lines of work, and listen
to the plans of leaders of vocational
education for making this type of
training more efficient and present
ing It to larger numbers of students.
The vocational schools known as
the Smith-Hughes Vocational High
Schools had by far the largest rep
resentation at the convention.
Reports from all parts of the United
States indicate an Increased Interest
in vocational education and a greatly
Increased enrollment over previous
years. The sentiment of the conven
tion was strongly in favor of lining
up side by side with general educa
tion under a common administration
rather than breaking off into sep
arate organizations for purposes of
vocational education.
While in Detroit, Professor Brad
ford visited the Ford plant in which
he paid especial attention to the
trade school run in connection with
it. Henry Ford maintains this
school for boys between the ages of
12 and 18 years. In this way he Is
at all times bringing on a new "crop",
of efficient workment for hla factory.
Silas M. Bryan, democratic candi

FOR GOING SEASON ;
Dr. Clapp Returns From Meeting
of Western Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association
Dr. Raymond Clapp, professor of
physical education has Just returned
from a meeting of the Western In
tercollegiate Gymnastic Wrestling
and Fencing Association. He repre
sented Nebraska at this convention.
which was also attended by men
from all of the schools in the Big
Ten except Michigan and Ames, Mich
igan Aggies, and Kansas. Dr. Clapp
was chairman of the committee on
the revision of wrestling rules at the
convention, and nearly all the rules
were ;i some way altered or changed,
making the committee one of the.
most important at the convention.
The most important changes mads
were: In scoring, a fall counts five
points a.0 a decision three. Before,
a fall counted eight points and a
decision six. This made three de
cision were better than two fall. It
is believed that the new ruling will
prevent stalling and make the men
try to win. A double wristlock holJ
from the landing position was bar
red, although allowed when down on
the mat. Wrestling may be done on
miaml nlatform. but there must
be six feet of clearance all around
outside (Of the ropes. Other changes
were in making the ruling3 more
clear and specific.
Nebraska's complete schedule for
this coming season in wrestling has
not yet been made up. Last year,
Nebraska had only four dual meets,
but it is hoped that she will have at
least six this season. At the present
time, the schedule is as follows:
January 20 Northwestern Univer
sity at Lincoln.
.Tnnuarv 27 Ames at Lincoln.
March 3 Minnesota at Minneapolis
March 9 Iowa at Iowa City (ten
tative).
The Western Inter-Collegiate Indi
vidual Championship meet will be
Im-1.1 March 16 and 17 at Ohio Stats
University, Columbus, Ohio. At this
meet, the four best men in each class
i t-nm ttin dual meets will
BtJItTULUl . will v..w
enmnete for honors. There will also
be an alternate who will be sent to
take the pace of any man who is pre
vented from taking part for any rea
son. Also at the convention, it was
decided that the officials at this meet
should be chosen each year by the
president, secretary, and one ap
nointed member of the convention
There has been soffle discussion In
the cast as to who should choose the
oficlal, and this new legislation will
do away with that. In the Western
Inter-Collegiate a minimum of four
and a miximum of six dual meets are
needed for points. Most of the schools
last year had at least six, while Ne
braska only four.
Northwestern comes here on the
last half of a two year contract. Last
year Nebraska wrestled there and
lost. The Ames team Is probably
the strongest inter-colleglate wrest
ling team in the country. They usu
ally do most of their wrestling on
home ground. Last year, Ames did
not have a single point scored
aealnst her in the Western Inter-
Collegiate meet. The only team which
did score against Ames during the
whole of last season was West Vir
ginia, scoring by one fall.
The wrestling squad has been
working out three times a week reg
ularly since the beginning of the se
mester, but now the heavy training
has begun and the men are reporting
dally. Contests to be held on the
home campus will start next Monday

Dean of Engineering College Rep
resents jNeorasKa at uatner
ing in Washington, D. C.
Dean O. J. Ferguson represented
the College of Engineering at the
annual meeting of the engineering
section of the Association of Land
Grant Colleges at Washington, D. C.
The meetings lasted from November
21 to 23 inclusive, and were attended
by men from nearly two-thirds of the
states.
Statistics during the last forty
years indicate that the cost of tech
nical education to engineering insti
tutions per student decreased from
18S0 to 1900, then increased until the
period of 'he war, but Is now de
creasing again. The cost to the stu
dent has mounted almost continuous
ly (luring this whole period and now
stands at a higher point than ever.
Several analysis were presented with
suggestions for curtailing these ex
penses with the least loss of effec
tiveness in the educational program.
It is recognized that the greatest
variables lie within the personal ex
penses of the student, and several
land-grant institutions are directing
their students, along lines which will
help them in reducing these costs.
It is estimated' that the student
spends during his University course
about twice the amount that the
University expends on him. counting
loss of salary caused by attendance
at Universities.
Papers and discussions brought out
the need for more accurate surveys
of the preparation required by en
gineers as. they enter the field o
practice. It was pointed out that the
Society for Promotion of Engineering
Education is making a very thorouch
investigation of this field. There is
undoubtedly waste in the field of edu
cation as in the field of industry,
and it should be eliminated insofar
as possible.
Engineering experiment stations
have been organized at more than
half of the land-grant colleges to aid
advancement In the knowledge of en
gineering materials and practices.
Work accomplished by these stations
will completely revolutionize practice
in the fields investigated. It is pre
dicted that the commercial develop
ment of coooklng processes studied at
the engineering experiment station of
the University1 of Il'lnols Jwlll an
tiquate the burning of raw bitumin
ous coal. Contracts are now being
drawn for putting the process upon
a commercial basis. Similarly,
studies In road materials and designs
have saved millions of dollars in the
present hiehwav development work
and are increasing this saving sub
stantially. Taken as a whole
who attended said the meeting was
full of discussions that are of direct
application and value to engineering

OUT INFORMATION ON
GOAL SAVING! PROBLEM
Various Articles of Interest Will
be Published from Time to
Time for Public
Professor J. W. Haney of the De
partment of Mechanical Engineering
of the College of Engineering of the
University is acting chairman of the
Nebraska State Section of the Amer
ican Society of Mechanical Engin
eers, until Its organization is perfect
ed. Investigations of problems- of
public interest will be carried out
by members of the organization and
the results disseminated for public
benefit. "Rules for Saving Coal in
the Home" is their latest publication.
The following rules are approved and
distributed by the Fuels Division of
the society.
Part I Preparation of the Equip
ment. (a) See that the grates are in good
order.
(b Seal air leaks in ash pit and
around clean-out doors.
(c) Cover steam and water pipes
to prevent unnecessary radiation.
(d) Provide suitable clean-out tools
for bailer flues.
(e) Replace for supplementary heat
in mild weather, fire-places, gas log3,
kerosent heaters, etc. .
(f) Prevent air leakage as far as
possible by weather strips and storm
windows.
(g) rrovide for re-circulating air in
hot air furnaces by convenient slides
in the pipes.
(h) Arrange coal bins so that two
kinds of fuel can be kept separate if
desired.
part II Kinds of Fuel.
(a) Stove and nut anthracite are
ideal fuels for heating homes. Scarc
ity and cost of these fuels will re
strict their use in the future. Small
sizes of anthracite should be used
whenever possible.
lb) Gas coke in connection with
anthracite pea or buckwheat coal.
This is an excellent combination, as
the fire will keep well, and will give
heat when required.
(c) Block wood in conjunction with
anthracite pea or buckwheat coal.
This Is a good combination where
wood is available, equal to coke for
producing heat, but requiring more
attention.
(d) Bituminous coal can bo used In
most furnaces designed for hard coal.
The exceptions will be found in cases
where the flue passages are small
and not easily cleaned. Bituminous
coal demands more attention, and un
less this Is given will give out less
heat. Best results will be fonnd
where the furnace is rather large for
the house, so that the fire does not
have to be pushed.
Part III Management of the
Furnace.
1 Rules for burning Anthracite
Coal (large size).
(a) Carry a deep bed of fuel at
least level with fire doors.
(b) . Shake the grate to remove
ashes and lower the fuel bed but
stop when the first live coals appear.
(c) Fresh fuel should be spread
evenly over the entire grate area. ' A
heavy firing, say 6 to 8 inches deep,
can bbe made if desired and will last
for 6 to 8 hours. For quick kindling,
the fire bed should be made fairly
hot before adding fresh fuel.
(d) After firing keep the dampers
w-ide open until blue flame appears,
them check off the draft as much as
necessary to keep the fire burning at
desired rate. The proper setting- of
the dampers most he learned by ex
priencee for each furnace, this Is be-

A game with Illinois on October 6
was arranged by Director of Athletics
Fred Dawson last week, when he at
tended a meeting of the Big Ten
Conference in Chicago. According to
the plans of Dawson and Coach
Zuppke of Illinois, an arrangement
unprecedented in American football
will be worked out for this game.
Dawson will send to Zuppke diagrams
of all the plays that the Huskers will
use in the contest, and Zuppke will
send the same to Dawson, thus elim
inating any possibility of trick plays.
These provisions will mean that the
game will be a battle of real football
ability, and will be an exact test of
the strength of the two elevens.
Other games also on the uncom
pleted Husker schedule are the Syra
cuse game on Thanksgiving, the
Notre Dame battle, which will be
used to dedicate the stadium, the
Kansas game at Lincoln, and the Mis
souri game at Columbia. This leaves
but three games to be scheduled to
complete the full schedule of eight
games. The remaining trio of con
tests will probably be arranged by
Director Dawson this week, when he
attends the meeting of the athletlo
officials of the schools of the Mis
souri Valley Conference to draft
schedules for 1923.
According to the schedule as thus
far completed. Nebraska will have a
fancy schedule next year. The Corn
huskers will meet Notre Dame, Syra
cuse and Kansas at Lincoln, all of
which games will bring' crowds for
which the new stadium will be need
ed. Games with Oklahoma and Ames
are also expected to have a place on
the Husker schedule, although games
with Minnesota, one of Nebraska's
old-time rivals, and the Kansas Ag
gies, who put up a wonderful battle
against Nebraska this year, would be
highly desirable.
Although four places in the line,
and two in the backfield will have to
be filled next fall, and prospects for
a strong team In 1923 for the HusR
ora are exceptionally bright. A galaxy
of stellar football players are in the
freshmen ranks in the University,
and these men can be counted on to
fill with credit tp themselves thi
places loft vacant by the graduation
of a number of Husker stars.
Miss Pound's Book
Attracts Attention
Throughout Country
rrofessnr Louise round's newly pub
lished "American Ballads and Songs,"
issued by Sirllmer ns a number In
its Modern Student's Library series,
Is attracting much interest among
scholars. U is a collection, not of
literary pieces, but of ballads and
songs which have survived in oral tra
dition in the United States. It Is the
first book to make available to read
ers American traditional verse. Many
of the texts It Includes were recov
ered In Nebraska and were contrib
uted by Nebraskans, and some of
them may be traced as far back as
the sixteenth century. According to
the grouping in the table of con
tents, the anthology includes Eng
lish and Scottish ballads in Ameri
can and other imported ballads and
songs, native ballads and songs, bal
lads of criminals and outlaws, west
ern ballads and songs, miscellaneous
ballads and songs, and dialogue. mr
sery.'and game songs. The collection
Is addressed to students of poetry nd
lovers of folk songs, and to those who
care for traditional pieces as social
documents which reflect the life and
traditions of those who preserve
them.
The author takes in her introdao
tion the same position with regard to
the origin and growth of folk son
as in her "Poetic Origins and the Bal
lad" whit aroused considerable con
troversy last year.
