Coolidge and Dawes
Candidates
Though Coolidge-Dawes support
from college undergraduates and
alumni all over the country will form
a etrong part of the Republican cam
paign because of the organized basis
upon which it has been built, this
does not represent the first time that
college men have lent themselves as
a unit to further a political cause.
This year 250,000 students, repre
senting 600 universities in the Unit
ed States, are being enrolled in col
lege Republican Gubs and approxi
mately 150,000 of these young men
and women will vote for President
Coolidge in November. The present
organization is known as The Asso
ciated University Republican Clubs
The first attempt to organize the
college vote for a president was in
1892 'when ex-Congressman James
Francis Burke, who is now legal ad
viser to the National Committee and
Assistant Director at the eastern
headquarters of the Republican Na
tional Committee in New York, or
ganized and became president of the
Republican Club of the University of
Michigan of which institution Mr.
Burke is a graduate. This club is
sued the call for the first national
gathering of Republican college men.
Recalling how he came to start
what is believed to have been the
Tint college Republican Club at
Michigan Mr. Burke said:
"Prior to the campaign of 1892
the controversy over Republican V"
tection and Democratic free trado
raged with great fury. To add to
the republican gr'evance a majority ,
Green Goblins Pick
Smith for President
Green Goblins elected Richard
Smith, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, presi
dent for the coming year at a meet
ing Tuesday evening at the Alpha
Sigma Phi house.
Othe r officers are : Keneth Piuitt,
Kappa Sigma, vice-president; Sig
fried North, Phi Kappa Psi, secretary;
Harry May, Sigma Phi Epsilon, trea
surer; Wesley Glasgow, Phi Gamma
Delta, sergeant-at-arms.
STUDENTS MAY SING
IN CLASSES FRIDAY
Engberg Says Instructors May
Allow Songs for First
Five Minutes.
The following statement in regard
to singing in the classes was issued
yesterday from the office of Carl C.
Engberg, executive dean of the Uni
versity: To All Officers of Instruction:
"The student body is quite excited
over the opening of the football sea
son and has requested permission to
sing for the first few minutes of the
classes during the present week.
"This has not seemed proper but
on the other hand on account of the
importance of a good start for the
athletic season, it has seemed wise to
the Chancellor and others with whom
I have discussed the matter to grant
the instructors the option of permitt
ing singing for not to exceed five
minutes at the opening of classes on
Friday.
"It is hoped that he students will
cooperate in making work on that day
the most successful the week in spite
of the slight interruption at the be
ginning of the hour."

Joseph G. Manley of Maine, secre
tary of the Republican National
Committee, about the advisability of

I proceeded.
"When a number of clubs had been
organized in the east and west I is

JORGENSON SPEAKS
AT Y.W. VESPERS
"What it Means to Be a Disci
ple of Christ," Is Subject
of Secretary.
Arthur Jorgenson, secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., spoke on "What It
Means To Be a Disciple of Jesus,"
at vespers Tuesday before members
of the University Y. W. C. A. Bar
bara Wiggenhorn, president of W.
S.-G. A., lead the services. Mary El
len Edgerton and Charleen Cooper
played a violin and flute duet accom
panied by Ruth Ann Coddington.
Religious training, Mr. Jorgenson
observed, is not carried on in a for
mal way on the Nebraska campus.
"I like that," he said. "If we have
religion on this campus, it is because
we create it. It is not brought here.'
To be a disciple one must live the
life of adventure, not abroad, but
here at school, he stated. There is
a tremendous amount of conformity
in any university on earth. Fresh
men must often be overwhelmed by
tradition. Though the spirit of ad
mut iidt be ovter-emphasfaed,
yet it is very important.
A creative life and a good life
were the other two essentials point
ed to by Mr. Jorgenson. In the for
mer type we live by a creative im
pulse rather than by the far too com
mon possessive impulse. For the lat
ter kind of life, he enlarged upon the
quotation of Goethe, "The highest
cannot be spoken."
