NOTED EDITOR MAKES SPEECH Dr. Oswald C Villard Gives Address to Students Of Journalism. SPEAKER INTRODUCED BY PROF. M. M. FOGG Dr. Oswald Garrison Villard of New York City, editor of The Na tion, addressed a convocation of the School of Journalism upon the sub ject, "Journalism and Politics," at the Temple Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The speaker was introduced by Prof. M. M. Fogg, Director of the School of Journalism. The importance of a free and im partial newspaper in politics was em phasized by Dr. Villard in the open ing of his address. "We live in a republic and we have been told that an enlightened pub lic opinion is necessary if that form of government is to live," he declar ed. The growing tendency toward con solidation of newspapers was pointed out by Dr. Villard as another ten dency that threatened to do away with the free and unprejudiced jour nal. Such consolidation means that all papers will represent the same ideas and aspirations. Editor Are Conservative. "The newspapers of today have become great business enterprises," stated Dr. Vilard. "The manager has lost touch with the common peo ple, has no basis for understanding their ambitions and their aspirations. His associates are what we call the Chamber of Commerce crowd' and as a result his views are always con servative. "The indictment I have against the newspaper is that so many of the editorial writers are ignorant and ill informed. The great editor has dis appeared. The great newspapers no longer want a personality to mould the opinion of their readers." "We have a serious situation here in the United States. We have come to a parting of the ways politically. The protest we see in the form of a third party is a protest by the masses against the failure to develop a progressive movement in any par ty. It arises from a feeling of the mass of the people that they are not represented in politics and the press," Dr. Villard stated. "We will find a way to instruct the citizenship, to inform it, and to show it where the truth lies," he con tinued. Dr. Villard's family has been in journalism 106 years longer than any other American family except the Bowes of the Springfield, Mass Republican. Kis grandfather, Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, the abolition ist, whom a broadcloth mob dragged on a rope through the streets of Bos ton, began as a printed in 1819 and later started the "Liberator," aboli tionist journal.

Eagle Chief and Francis Come to Study at University of Nebraska By Volta Torrey. Eagle Chief, a Winnebago Indian, packed up his war bonnet, flute, por tage bags and other family heir looms, then threw in a football suit and some "white men's" clothes, and came to the University of Nebraska this fall. He met Francis, a Potta watamie from Mayetka, Kansas, who had also come in quest of knowledge, the two now room together at the Y. M. C. A. Eagle Chief is majoring in physical education and is out for both fresh man football and the cross country. Francis is registered in the College of Business Administration. The majority of the Indians were very loyal during the war, according to these two spokesmen, and when one of the Winnebago braves sent home the scalp of a German, the old tribesmen hung it on a pole and did the "Buffalo"' dance around it in the manner of their great grandfath ers for three nights. "Religion plays an important part in the Indian's life," Eagle Chief continued. "In the Winnebago tribe there are two groups, the Medicine SET DATES FOR JUNIOR PICTDRES Cornhusker Staff to Assign Times and Studios For Sittings.

ASSIGN STUDIOS FOR SORORITY PICTDRES Set November 12 as Deadline For Pictures in Section Of Cornhusker. Pictures of the members of sorori ties are now being taken at the TTtinV and Townsend studios for tne sorority section of the Cornhusker. AH these pictiures must be taken by Uvmhir 112. but girls are asked to make their apointments immediately. Sororities have bee? assigned to studios as follows: Hanck Alpha Pni, AlpEka Delta Pi, Delta Gamma. Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Xi Delta and Alpha Uelta Theta. Townsend Alpha Chi Omega, Al pha Omicron Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta, TTonn. Delta. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mo, Delta Delta Delta, F-i Omega Pi, Delta Zeta and Theta Vtn Alpha. AH girls will make make their own appointments, according to Ruth Wells, editor of the sorority section. The pictures are to be taken in f or d 4nm if possible. Second aemes- ter pledges will le given an opportu nity to have pictures taken later. ATI innkir eirs who are sorority members should have their pictures for the junior section taken at tne same studio to which their sorority is assigned. The same picture can be used for both sections. If a sor- 4;r ia not assigned to tne tame studio as her sorority she should ask to have the appointment changed. Lodge and Peyote, which differ much the same as Catholics and Protes tants." They have a much more optimis tic manner of paying tribute to the dead than we have. When an Indian dies, instead of wearing long faces and mourning costumes, his friends adorn themselves in their best bib and tucker and give a big party that continues for threo nights. If the Great Spirit calls before sunrise the festivities begin at once, but if death occurs during the day, the celebra tion is delayed until dark. The ob ject of the feasting and merry-making is to cause the mourners to for get their loss and rejoice that their loved one has gone on to the Happy Hunting Ground where all good In dians go. The flute that Eagle Chief has brought with him seems to be a con necting link between the present and the lives of his ancestors. It is a birchwood stick, burned out hollow, with holes carefully burned in, rather than drilled or cut Deeper even than the holes, the spirit and soul of the old Indian who made it is burned into that birchwood stick. With it, the Winnebago can bring back all the joys and sorrows of his forefath ers, all the weird sounds of the plains and streams, all the grief of the first Americans for the loss of their coun try. In Eagle Chief's trunk are so many things worth telling about that one scarcely knows where to begin mammoth wig of long, black hair that would make the owner of the most perfect bob hang her head in shame, a beaded vest that rivals a medieval coat of armor for weight, fancy cuffs to match, a tobacco pouch almost two feet deep from which the tribal peace pipe has often been filled, necklaces of great value, fancy belts, and many other products of skilled old brown hands. But the gayest of the gay are the leg bands. They are beaded straps about two inches wide that go around the leg just below the knee. Long vellow threads hang from behind them. Truly, they would give a run ner the appearance of being carired on golden wings. YALLEY GLEE CLUB PLANS SING CONTEST Newly Formed Organization Making Plans for Event At Kansas City. LAWRENCE. Kan., Oct 6. Final plans for a glee club contest between eie-ht schools of the Missouri Valley conference will be worked out at a meeting of the executive and bus iness committees of the Missouri Val ley Glee Club Contest Association at Kansas City, October 11. The asso ciation, which was formed last spring, set February 14, 1925, as the date for the first contest which will probably be held in Convention Hall, Kansas City. Alumni of all member schools and the Chamber of Com merce of Kansas City are co-operat ing to put across the great song fest. It is the plan to send the winner of the Valley sing to participate in the national contest conducted by the Intercollegiate Musical Associa tion of New York. The New York association is reported to be eager to have a representative from the Missouri Valley in its contest. LUt of Delegates. At the meeting in Kansas C'.ty, October 11, will be T. A. Larremore. of K, U-. Harold F. Holtz of Nebras ka: Holmes Cowper of Drake; Jauies Quarles of Missouri University; Tol- bert McRae of Iowa State; L. S. Sla ter of Oklahoma; Ira Pratt of Kan sas State Agricultural College; and Roy Russell of Washington, all of whom are faculty representatives from their respective schools and who compose the executive commit tee of the association. The alumni representative living in Kansas City who compose the business committee, of the organization are John Mussel man for K. U., Guy W. Green tor Ne-! braska. E. C McBride for Drake, Walton Holmes for Missouri, L. S. Dewev for Iowa State, Arthur K. Wolf for Oklahoma, J. H. Anderson f or K. S. A. C, and Henry Lohman for Washington. Te Decide Rabat;. Whether the clubs must sing with out piano accompaniment and wheth er or not conductors may be used in the contest are two of the points to be settled at the meeting October 1L It is agreed that each club will sing three songs in the contest, one to be sung by every club in turn, one chos en and sung by each club and a school song of each club's own Alma Maier. In addition a concerted num ber may be sung by all clubs togeth er merely for the entertainment of the audience. The program should prove a colorful one. Grinnell, the only Missouri Vafl-J school not in the organization, was already affiliated with another glee club association and for that reason did not join the Valley group. CANDY IS SPEAKER AT LECTURE CLASS Explains College of Arts and Sciences to New Students. "The College of Arts and Sci ences" was the subject of the lec ture given by Prof. A. L. Candy, chairman of the mathematics depart ment and acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, at the weekly freshman lecture classes Monday evening and Tuesday morning. It was the second of a series of lectures given first-year students in the Arts College. "Of the ten colleges at the Uni versity of Nebraska, the College of Art and Sciences is the largest in point of enrollment. Yet we must consider that these ten colleges are really not separate institutions, for students in the Colleges of Law, En gineering, Business Administration, and practically all others have courses in the Arts college." Professor Candy pointed out the difference between the larger uni versities of foreign countries and those of the United States. "While our universities are institutions of man different colleges," he said, the larger colleges of foreign countries are not. Oxford and Cambridge in England are both Colleges of Arts and Sciences, while the trend in larg er German universities is toward graduate colleges alone." Development Traced. The first colleges of higher learn ing contained but three courses, ac cording to Professor Candy. These were grammar, logic and rhetoric Later, between the tenth and thir teenth centuries four more were add ed music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy. An education along these lines was called a "liberal arts education" and learning along pro fessional lines was a "professional education." "It is now the purpose of the Col lege of Arts and Sciences to give training for the professions in addi tion to the liberal arts, so the Arts college is the foundation upon which the University rests and a very high standard of instruction must be maintained." Professor Candy explained the four fundamental departments of the College as being the natural and phy sical sciences, the social sciences, mathematics and philosophy, and the languages. In closing he stated that culture should be derived from a lib eral arts elucation and that culture in a broad sense is "knowing the best things ever said and done in the world."
