UNIVERSITY NIGHT
Thins for Annual Fun-Fest Are
Discussed at Meeting of
the Managing Hoard.
WOLFE GIVES SUGGESTIONS
Former Chairman Offers Some
Valuable Pointers on the
Management of Show.
The University ight committee met
last evening to discuss plans to per
fect their organization for the put
ting on of the annual funfest to be
held February 17.
Organizations that are planning on
presenting skits are urged to speed
up their work in order not to be late
when the committee makes the final
selection fo the program. The sub
ject matter for the skits this year I
left entirely in the hands of the or
ganization working them up. This is
don in order not to curb originality
which is so essential to the success
of the skit. The length of the skits
is to be watched very closely in or
der that the program may not be
come tiresome and drawn out. Short
snappy skits with a punch are the
ones most desired.
It is urged that all organizations
get their skits in as soon as possible
Work has fegun on about half a dozen
skits already and a few have been
presented to the committee for Us
approval.
Former chairman Wolf was present
at the last meeting held before vaca
tion and offered some very valual.de
suggestions for the coining event. The
net meeting of the committee will be
held at Ellen Smith hall. Friday, Jan.

Sponsors Contest for liest
Ten Minute Speech.
A tool chest and a set of iron tools
are being offered by the .Agricultural
Engineering Society for the be?t ten
minute talk delivered before that or
ganization. The contest, which will
close January 10, has 'served to in
lerest the students of this college in
topics studied and now to add e
touch of excitement to the regular
work as the contest is about to close.
The folowing is the talk delivered
by C. J. Xovotny:
Radio and Rural Life.
No art has ever made so rapid a
progress as the Radio Art. Starting
about, a quarter of a century ago wi'h
a very modest beginning, employii g
the most elementary means of excit
ing motions of electricity, it is to
day one of the most beautifully
equipped among the electrical arts.
The equipment we imve today 's
the fruit of scientific research and
inventions of such men as Marconi,
Tesla, Edison. Armstrong, Stien
meti and many others.
Radio is still in its infancy. In
one of the wireless magazines it was
stated that "The facilities of radio
Dhone we here. It is available. If
there Is anything nebulous about ft
status it is only that its vast ig-
nificant possibilities have not as yet
teen realized so that at present there
is no agreement as to what its mo.-
useful application will be." In the
meantime radio is serving, making its
way here and there, and getting ac
quainted so that we may well believe
that in the near future it will occupy
a destined place among the great for
ward steps of civilization along with
the newspapers, magazines and (he
rural phone.
In my short talk 1 will first at
tempt to touch upon a few of the
fundamentals of radio communication
and then proceed to point out few

Salter Gives Fund

George Salter, C. E. '21, started an
engineering loan fund this week,
mailing in to the College of Engin

is to be given to juniors and senioris
in the College of Engineering, but
the money may be loaned to seniors
in other colleges if it is not needed
by the engineers.' Conditions for so
curing a loan are the same as those
applying to the other funds now being
used.

Four Pages of the 1922 Corn

WILL IMPROVE THIS YEAR
Present Staff Hard at Work to
Make the 1923 Annual
Worthy of Entire
Reproduction.
"Everybody's Cornhusker," the 1022
annual, has received recognition in
the "All American College Annual"
of 1022 just published and being dis
tributed to the colleges over the
country. The "All American College
Annual" is a college year book made
up each year from the best parts of
the many college annuls submitted to
the American College Annual Asso
ciation. The Cornhusker, Xebraska's annual.
has never been entered in the na
tional contest before this year and It
Is considered a distinct honor to have
selections printed on four separate
pages in the honorary annual. Just
what features were copied in the
American Annual are not known as
yet but will be announced as soon as
the book reaches the Cornhusker of
fice.
The aim of the association which
publishes the annual is to benefit the
annual s-taffs of the diferent colleges
fhy giving them new ideas. The asso
ciation, which has its offices in Chi
cago, also maintains a clearin? house
of information concerning college
publications which is furnished free
to all members.
Hundreds of ideas and suggestions
are available for editors who wish
help in solving any problems which
they meet in putting out their publica
tions. (
Plans for il:e iS23 Cornhusker are
rapidly taking shape and co-operation
with the Ameiican College Annual
Association is expected to put the
book on a plane with the best an
nuals in the country.
The sales campaign will start Mon
day morning. At the same time vot
ing will begin for the students to be
included in the new section "Repre
sentative Xebraskans," four men and
four women from the senior class. A
subfcscription to the 1023 yearbook
will entitle the purchaser to one bal
lot on which he may vote for eight
students. Xo ballots not complotf
will be counted. This ruling is made
in order that there may be no "pol
itics" played in any way which would
be detrimental and defeat the purpose
of the section of the book.
All members of the class of 1923
are eligible. The points to lie con
sidercd are: Scholarship, activities.
and social standing. In the section

spoke before the Lions elnb at its retr-
ular weekly meeting.
The Cornhusker basketball team In
augurated the 1023 hnskethall season
tonight when it plays the Kansas Jay
hawker quintet on the latter's court
at Lawrence, Kansas. The Husker
cage squad, including Coach Owen
Frank and twelve basket-tossers, left
last night at 10:30 after a final prac
tice period on the Armory floor yes
terday afternoon. Besides the game
with Kansas, the Huskers will meet
the Kansas Aggies at a.Mnhattan Sat
urday evening before the return to
Lincoln.
The Nebraska-Kansas tilt, which
will open the conference race, prom
ises to be an interesting contest. Km
sas rules the favorite because the
Jaybawkers. wl-.o tied for the Valley
championship last year, have a string
of veterans who play the court game
in a winning fashion. On the other
hand, Nebraska, who placed fourth In
the conference race last year with a
mediocre team, shows signs of turnt
ing out a championship five with a
dozen or so premier basketeers fight
ing for berths on the team.
Coach Frank has been working his
goal-flippers hard in preparation for
the Jayhawk contest, and hopes to
start the season with a victory. Con
tinuous practices during the holidays
enabled Frank t oround his proteges
into good condition, and the players
are now handling the ball and hitting
the basket with a creditable degree
of accuracy. Captain Waren at cen
te is playing a stellar game, and can
be counted on to cause the Kansas
guards some trouble in the fray this
evening.
The Kansas I'niversity crew
opened the season in an auspicious
manner Wednesday evening when
they defeated the O Mon Unlvjr

at the end of th first half. 15 to 1.
The Creigbton team is rated as one
of the best in the midwest, so the
overwhelming defeat administered
them by Kansas indicates .that the
.Taybawkers have a team of champ
ionship calibre.
The following Cornhusk-. r cagers

The first official freshman basket
ball practice was held in the Armory
last night under the direction of Bill
Day, feshman coach. The turnout ot
