him that h preferred to remaiu the
Athletic Director of Penn State.
1 he golden dreams of a pennant
winning team for the Phillies were
knocked sky-high by 'Ber's' announce
ment, and, while the news was not
entirely unexpected by the student
body, Jt came as a longed-for confirm
ition of their hopes. On the other
hand, though, the announcement was
a complete surprise to the baseball
world, and a number of the big-city
newspapers had already begun to pro
phesy what the thoughful little

SKATING RINK PLANS
DISCARDE01S YEAR
Plan to. Flood Tennis Courts Is
Rejected for This Sea
son The skating rink scheme has gone
up iii smoke such was the announce
ment from the Athletic department
last evening.
It was found that the rink could
not be taken care of without expense
which the Athletic department is not
able to handle this winter. After
consultation with the city engineer,
it was decided that at least one
month in the spring would be needed
to get the tennis courts back into
shape for playing.
Dikes would have to be built around
the courts to hold the water wlioi
the flooding was done as the courts
are higher than the surrounding
ground. The cost of this building
would be too heavy a drain, on the
funds of the Athletic department at
this time.
A suggestion was made that the i
Athletic Field be flooded as in the
case of former years. This will be
impossible this season on account of
the fact that work on the new sta
dium will be started soon after the
first of the year.

SAYS

Question of Death Not of Life
Facing Students in Russia
Today
RUSSIAN DINNER TODAY
Members cf Committee Will Meet
in Temple at Noon for Rus
sian Dinner
"It is now a question of death, not
of life, that faces the students of
Russia today" was the keynote of
Miss llruscla Dedensky's message to
a group composed of two represents
;'s from each campus organization,
which met Thursday evening to dis
cuss plans for Russian Student Re
lief. Miss Dedensky emphasized the
fact that the Student Friendship rund
was nil international bond, something
to make every American student
think in terms of other countries and
other problems rather than his own,
that this was indeed a wonderful ago
in spite of the sufferings, sticrifices
and hardships so many countries are
enduring, that American students
aware of their responsibilities will re
spond in a whole-hearted American
fashion, thereby laying the foundation
for sound and wholesome political
and domestic relations between the
two countries.
A gift which is prompted by true
f'Undship and love will accomplish
wenders in bolstering up the morale
of the students who are now at the
end of the rope, but who have tied a
knot in it and are hanging on with
a grim determination.
Only general plans have been made
for Nebraska's part in the work. Con
ditions here on the campus prevent
a thorough financial campaign of any
kind, 'out nevertheless everybody can
help by doing their own small share
General committees will be formed
with Gertrude Tomson as chairman
for the women and Crawford Follmer
as chairman for the men. and these
two committees wil' put the most
feasible pl&n before the etndent body
for this action.
The members of this general com-t-e
will meet today at noon at the
Temple for a Russian dinner, which
means soup and nothing more, and to
work out the details of the whole
plan of the Student Friendship fund.

Woods Speaks to
Phi Delta Kappa
George D. Woods, formerly presi
dent of the Lincoln Board of Educa
tion, spoke on "Finance of Education"
to twenty members. of rhi Delta Kap
pa, honorary education frternitya. at
a dinner given by that organization

Next Cornhusker to
Beauty Section Declare Editors
No beauty section will appear in
the 1923 Cornhusker, according to
the decision reached by tbo editors
of the big Nebraska year-book last
night. Opposition by campus organ
izations to tho idea of the section
was given as the reason for the
elm nge.
An entirely new and distinctive
section to take the place of the sec
tion devoted to pictures of Nebras'
ka's prettiest co-eds is being prepared
and complete plans will bo announced
In the next issue of the Nebraskan.
That the new section will be truly
representative of nil Nebraska Btu
dems and will add greatly to the at
tractiveness of the book is tho prom
ise of the editors.
Pan Hellenic and Valkyrie were the
two campus organizations which pub
licly ivndcmncd the idea of the
beauty section and disapproval was
expressed by several others. Objec
tion to the plan was expressed in
the following resolution:
"This society (Valkyrie) knows of
no woman among last year's contest
ants in the beauty section who really
liked the situation in which she was
placed. We aren't Follies gjrls or
actresses, and we do not expect to
become moving-picture stars, said one
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Plan to Decorate Huge Pine on
Campus With Lights for
Annual Program
Santa Claus, free candy, and every
thing that goes with the spirit of
Christmas, are on the program for the
University Community Christmas
party to be held on the campus
Thursday evening, December 21. The
nartv will be held under the aus
pices of the All-University Party
committee and it will be an abso
lutely free affair.
The large pine north of U-hall,
which looms out high and graceous
ly before the oldest building on the
campus, will serve as Christmas tree.
Electro lights will be strung over the
entire tree and decorations appropri
ate to the usual Santa spirit will bs
placed upon It.
Good Program Planned.
A snappy program of music by the
University quartet, and the Glee
Clubs, and possibly the University
Chorus, is being planned in conjunc
tion with the tree. A short program
of community singing may also be
included as a part of the evening's
entertainment.
A real honest-to-goodness Sania
Claus will be present, and he wiil
have upon his back a large bag filled
with elockiiigs-full of candy, the reai
kind of candy we used to get whea
we were young, aud attended Sunday
school regularly the entire year.
Christmas programs for the entire
University community have been nul
lined for the last few- years. The
All-University Tarty committee has
asumed the responsibility of putting
on a Christmas program this year
i with the hope that such a program
' wiil become an annual part of the
University life.
Eastern schools all have annuai
Christmas programs on the campus
The Yuletide entertainment is re
garded as one of the biggest part of
the yearly campus life there, and it
i.s felt that such a program at Ne
braska would fill a need long felt for
a general University celebration ot
Christmas.
Fraternities and sororities have
been urged to hold their Christmas
parties ou other nights than Thurs
day. Many of them have already re
sponded, fixing the night for their
celebration on either Wednesday or
Monday nights. School officials ask
that all organizations do likewise and
so asEue success for the community
program.
Hold Kid Party for
Methodist Students
Christmas spirit will prevail at the
"Kid Party'1 to be hold Saturday.
December 16 at 8 o'clock In the
wicker room of the Temple. This
affair is arranged by the Kappa Phi
t,nd Wesley Cuild organizations. A
wood fire will be built In the fire
place and a Christmas tree and other
typical Christmas decorations will
add atmosphere to the occasion.
Santa Claus himself Is expected to
furnish a goodly part of the enter
tainment.
A program has been arranged and
games will be played. Everyone Is l
come costumed as a child, and to
bring a present from the ten-cent
store. The admission price Is tea
pennies for each "kid." ' 1
be Without
of them, 'and it gives us no par
ticular pleasure to have the general
public and tho newspapers discuss
the details of our features or our com
plexions or modes of hairdressing,
or whether or not we are blondes or
brunettes, or whether we aren't real
ly homely, and got into the contest
only through political friends." Many
people of good tasto and Judgment,
both in tho city and on tho campus,
are against such contests, with theii
attendant attempts to foster intcr
frnternity rivalry."
Such disapproval on the part of the
students was considered sufficient
reason to change the plan adopted
last year and replace it with a new
section which will more adequately
meet the requirements of a represent
ation of true Nebraska ideals.
Applications for positions ou the
sitaff were received in the Corn
husker oflce until 5 o'clock last night
and the complete staff is now beitift
selected and checked at the office

the organization of the eleven tie

The Y. W. C. A. bazaar wil con
tinue until 6 o'clock this evening.
Booths are arranged in the court ot
Ellen Smith hall. Belated Christmas
shoppers are especially invited to call

Novelties of all types may be ob

candlesticks, ribbon powder-puffs and
fancy aprons are a few ot them. Every
variety of handkerchiefs is on dis
play, many ot them decorated with
clever, original designs. Prices are
moderate, and very few articles are

AT HUGE FEAST
Yearly Celebration of Football
Season at Scottish Rite
Temple
FRATS CLOSE THE TABLES
"Bobbie" Joyce Tcastmaster
Mcvies cf Notre Dame
Game
More than a thousand Nebraska
men will gather at the annual Corn
husker hannuet tonight in th Scot
tish Rite Temple at C:l". Tho sue
ces of the football season and the
immediate start of work on the
Memorial S.adium furnish the Im
petus for this year's celebration.
The football captains, their coach,
Chancellor Avery. Dr. Condra, and
Harold Holtz. alumni secretary, are
the speakers. The toastmaster. "Bil
lie" Joyce, is one of the best in Lin
coln, according to Floyd Reed, gen
eral chairman. The University quar
tet and two orchestras are to furnish
the music. After the toasts and
music, Dr. Condra will show pictures
of the Xotre Dame game in f'he
main lodge room of the Scottish Rite
Temple.
Tickets for sale were growing
scarce yesterday. Fifteen hundred
were validated, so a tnousana at
tendance is a conservative estimate,
according to the committees of Inno
cents In charge of the gathering.
Through the courtesy ot the Sottish
Rite Masons, their building at Fif
teenth and L streets has been se
cured. With this great banquet hall
available the Innocents expect that
no one will be kept away because of
lack of room. Many fraternities are
closing their tables tonight because
of the many prospective empty
places. Thoe moving pictures of the
Xotre Dame game that are to be
shown have been called "the best
reel ever taken," by persons who saw
them when they were exhibited In
South Bend, and again at the Strand
theatre in Omaha. Pictures of the
freshman initiation of this fall will
also be shown.
The toasts are as follows: Toast
master "Bobbie" Joyce; Chancellor
Avery. "The Relation of Athletics to
the University": Dr. Condra. "Nebras
ka in Action"; Harold Holtz. "The
Latest on the Stadium"; Coach Daw
son. '-Winning From the Sidelines";
Captain Hartley. "Why Nebraska Beat

DENTS Bl 10 PIUS
Carr Rolls High Score of 213 in
Inter-College Bov.linj
Match
The Dents made two mistakes that
cost them the ktory in their bowling
match with the 'p.izads", which re
sulted in the hitter's victory by the
narorw margin of two r'.nf. the score
being to 22-1.
The first mistake came when the
Dents prrmit'ed the "Ilizads" to take
a lead in the first game amounting
to ll'j pins. From then on the Dents
outrollcd the "Dizads" beating them
by. a substantial margin In each of
the following two games, but even
the total numbc of pins gained In
these two games fell short of picking
up the "Bizad's" lead by a two-pin
margin.
The victory was in tho Dents' grasp
but for the second big mistake which
Lhappencd m
the last frame of tne
finni namo when ( arr. me uenia
star anchor, missed an easy spare
which would have won the game if It
had been picked up.
( aptain S'ryk. r of the 'Bizads"
was the individual high man with a
615 total. Carr's 213 was high for a
single game.
After the first game, the match
proved exciting as it was seen that
the Lents, feeling impending defeat,
had recovered from their early list
less shooting and would make a
strong.effort to recover the "Bizad's"
leader, who were Inclined tc take
things easy with their comfortable
lead. This nearly cost them tha
match, and but for Carr's error, ther
wonld have lost.
