General Business Staff Will be
Announced Friday Book
Larger Than Last Year
A five ropy of the 1923 CornhiiRker,
Nebraska's year-book, wil be given to
the student submitting this week the
b,,Pt slogan or name for 'the annual,
wording to an announcement from
tlH, cornhusker offices Wednesday
evening.
The Cornliuskcr last year had for
its name, "Everybody's Cornhusker"
and the contest open to all students
is to supply the book this year with
an equally catchy name. Boxes have
been placed at the main entrances of
University hall and the Social Sci
ence building to receive contributions
to be entered. Each student is not
limited to one suggestion but all en
tries will be given equal, consideration
by a staff committee headed by the
editor.
The contest is opn until Monday
nii-ht, when, the names submitted will
be taken from the boxes and con
sidered. Announcement of the win
ner will be made in the Tuesday issue
of the Daily Nebraskan. It is ex
pected by the editors that competi
tion for the free Cornhusker will be
keen.
They emphasize the fact that an
annual, as much as a football team
or well-known student publication,
needs a name by which it will pop
ularly be known. Taking this into
coasideration, the staff desired to
opeii the competition to the whole
school.
The plan adopted by the editors is
to award a certificate to the suc
cessful contestant entitling the lucky
one to a copy of the Cornhusker
The certificate wil be held until the
books are distributed in the spring.
The editors suggest in their an
nouncement of the contest, that
names which are short and catcny,
which will fit the big annual, and
lnch will serve to attract attention
to pv book are the ones which wil"
be most favorably considered.
Names may also be handed In to
the Cornhusker offices in the base
ment of Administration, hall befoie
the close of the week.
Students who will work on the bus
iness btaff of the Cornhusker under
the general direction ( of the business
manager will have their names an
nounced in the Friday issue of the
Nebraskan.

pHt-hed by the executive committe?
during the past year and gave in ad
dition a report on his 'mental reac
tion'' v. ith respect to the value of
the conference at present and it.-
purprite for the future. In his wel
come he stressed the fact that the
conference "is becomim more and
more a reunion of faithful servants
in an unselfish endeavor for the Im
provement of fraternity conditions,
for the strengthening of relations be
tween colleges and fraternities, and
for a better understanding of college
officers and fraternity men with re
spect to this wonderful distinctly
American Institution with all Its
biautiful traditions and with all of
its splendid opportunities for the fu
fie." "The sum of the whole problem be
fore us," he said, "is the elevating
of Ihe fraternity Ideal and the carry
ing of its true idea to the educational
world. The secret of all success In
fraternity life is faith and pride In
the organization, and these thing.
can best be stimulated by informal
open discussion, with the knowledge
on the part of every one concerned
that such discussion is carried on in
an advisory way for the betterment
of the common cause."

Mrs. Ruff said it was remarkable
that the sole subject of Jack's con
versation was "his boys" what they
have done and what they will do.
Jack is especially pleased about the
Stadium, because now 'the boys will
hnve a good enough place for them."
"I hope 1 can see two or three
more years, I'm pretty weak. But 1
have a lot to be thankful for."
Jack then turned his face to his
pillow and slowly closed his eyes.
The reporter quietly picked up his
hat from the "X" blanket on Jack's
cot and lip-toed from the room.

State Veterinary Association Rep
resentative Speaks on Ani
mals and Man
Ir. Morris II. Hall, a graduate of
tin' University of Nebraska, who has
been in Lincoln as speaker for the
State Veterinary Association, left
Wednesday afternocr.. He spoke to
Dr. Barker's second-year class of pre
medic students in the morning on the
relation of parasites of animals to
parasites of man.
Dr. Hall received his master's de
gree here in 1907 or 190S in the Zool
ogy department. He is now senior
soologist in the division of zoology
in the bureau of animal industry in
Washington. He is one of the best
informed men on parasites in the
United States, and he has done a
large amount of research work along
that line. Dr. Hall is one of five
graduates of this University who are
or have been in the zoology depart
ment in Washington.
Marry L. Hubble, E. E., '21, has

NOTICE.
Tickets for the Cornhusker ban
quet should be secured at once
from members of Vikings or at
the Student Activities office. The
committee in charge want to
kno approximately how many
mtn will be there.
The fraternity system, the chair
man pointed out, plays a unique part
in the life of the American educa
tional world. "It is first and last,'
bo said, ' distinctly an American In
st;tution. There Is nothing like it i
th" educational life of other countries.
This intimate relationship of livinjr
together in fraternity houses is the
most complete and sincere brother
hood in the world today. It is our
duty and our privilege to help the
lmderrrarttiate to lead it onward on
irreproachable ground. A college
fraternity man. if he Is to justify his
existence, if he is to justify the com
foriable home in which he lives, and
if he is to be worthy of the money
which his elder brothers are putting
up for his support, should always br
a great credit to the college which
hi enters. He cannot be a good f
ernity and a poor college man."
"We are faced at the present time
with two big problems:- poor scholar
ship and Intemperance," he said, "if
we can stimulate, in every college
and nniversity throughout this con
tinent where fraternities exist, a
more earnest desire on the part of
fraternity men to raise their stand
ards of scholarship and to respect
the constitution of the United States,
we will have accomplished a great
purpose and we will have set an ex
ample to the world In general. I
know that drinking can no more be
blamed (o fraternity men than to non
fraternity men, or to business men
for that matter, but I do believe that
fraternity men, for the honor of their
alma mater and of their fraternity
should take the lead In this movement
against th -ilolatlon of law."

The chairman did not comment on
ihe work accomplished to date by

1 be Committee on Publicity was do
scribed as one of the most importan"
i-Diiiiiiiitees of the conference. "If we
can let the world know what we are

"We must get this message of faith

Miss Dedensky is a member of the

City, where she teaches French, Ger
man, and the History of Europe.
Two younger sisters of Miss Deden
sky's are in school in Aleksandroej,
in the southern part of Russia, ,the
college from which she herself was
graduated. From her own experience
in that country and from her family
ties there at ,the present time, she

! Germany and Italy.
Tuesday evening Miss Dedensky
spoke to the University girls at Ves
pers. Yesterday she spoke at Cotner
College, and Thursday she is to givj
the address in chapel at Wesleyan
University.
Because it was thought unfair thaf
the men had not been give a chance

at the Temple tonight has been ar
ranged. All students are, invited to
come, as a familiarity with conditions
in Europe folowing the war. is valu

Al'honth fewer manuscripts than us

given are no less clever or humorous
than those of past years.
In addition to the refreshments

cream sandwiches and candied apples
will be sold by the mi-moi r of Mortar
hoards and Silver Serpent. Games
and dancing have been planned be

Change Suggested
For Banquet Of
Engineering Men
A suggestion for a change in the
usual program for the banquet at the
end of the Engineers' Week was
made at the meeting of ihe student
chapter of A. S. C. E. last night at
7:30 in M. A. The new idea
was discussed by the students.
The proposed plan calls for one
good talk from an outsider for "the
men are tired of hearing us spout
off," and an amateur truth session,
during which everyone is to try le
insult as many as possible of his
friends.

Members of the football team are ths

The old trainer often expresses his
regret at not being able to bake birth

often tells his daughter that he would
like to have her bake for all of them.
Jack IJest seems to be perfectly

"It will get us down bat it can'v

Jack Best, who has been at the
University since 1SS8, says he knows
he will feel better than ever when he
recovers from this illness. He has
not been very well this fall, especial
ly in the last two weeks. But every
moment he has been able to get away
from his home he has insisted on
going to the Armory to be with his
