THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, -NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1924 PRICE 5 CENTS Daily COLLEGES TAKE STOCK HONORS Nebraska Gets Places in Hog Competition in Interna tional Exposition. MINNESOTA CAPTURES THREE BLUE RIBBONS State universities and agricultural colleges received most of the honors for the opening day's competition at the twenty-fifth international live stock exposition. The University of Nebraska received a good share of the honors in the classes of hogs. The finest specimen of the type in the 150- to 250-pound grade hog came from the University of Minne sota, with the University of Nebras ka entry second. For 250- to 850 pound grades, Oklahoma took first and second place and Nebraska third. The best pen of three grade hogs in the 150- 250-pound class was shown by the University of Minne sota. In the 850- to 450-pound class, Oklahoma's pen of three won first, Minnesota's second, and Iowa's third. Additional honors for the Minne sota herd came from the Berkshire barrow competition, in which the Gophers triumphed by a small mar gin over the Michigan Aggies, who took second standing. The Iowa state college repeated last year's victory in the Chester White division in which they again produced the championship barrow of the year. The University of Ne braska took second in this class. Minnesota gave the show its cham pionship pen of Chester Whites, but Iowa state college was a close sec ond. The first blue ribbon for a breed er's entry came from the sheep houses, in which the Canadian stock men were generally triumphant throughout the day. With a very few exceptions, all of the first honors awarded during the first day t the exposition went to colleges and st te universities. The judging of the various classes of livestock will continue during the entire week and the winners of the grand championships will not be an nounced until later in the week- Football Ushers may Get Season Tickets The ushers who worked at the five home games with Illinois, Colgate, Missouri, Oregon Aggies and Simp son, are entitled to season tickets. These may be had at the Student Ac tivities office in the Armory. SPANISH COSTDHES APPEAR AT PARTY Tassels to Give Dance in Cas tilian Dresses; Will Sell Serpentines.

Galworthy's play, "Loyalties," will be presented by the University Players Thursday, the third produc tion to be staged this year. This interesting play begins with the intensity of the "Bat" and pro vides entertainment for everybody. Ferdinand DeLevis, " a wealthy young Jew, visiting some wealthy friends outside of London, discovers that money has been stolen from him. He believes the thief to be Dancy, a young war hero. The movement of the play grows out of the bitter clash between Jew and aristocrat, and introduces a situ ation in which all of the London classes are concerned and defend themselves. The aristocracy are shocked at the charge brought on one of them, and refuse to have the mat ter investigated. One of the unusual characteristics of the play is that there is no tech nical hero to whom the sympathy may be offered. Ferdinand DeLevis has been skillfully portrayed by Galsworthy as a likable but unpopu lar character. W. A. A. WILL HOLD . MEETING TOMORROW Training Rules and Points for -Practices to Be Approved by Association. The Women's Athletic Association will hold its third general meeting of the year at 7 o'clock Wednesday in the Social Science Auditorium. list of training rules which has been Dnroved by the executive board of the organisation will be presented to the general meeting for approval.

MARVIN TELLS ABOOT PHYSICS Freshmen Lecture Students Hear Explanation of Dif ferent Branches. DEMONSTRATIONS OF EXPERIMENTS GIVEN "The Frontiers of Physics" was the subject of the weekly freshman lec ture given before the Monday and Tuesday sections by Prof. H. H. Mar vin, chairman of the department of physics. Professor Marvin explained the different branches of physics. "Up to thirty years ago scientists sought to make a clear-cut distinction between chemistry and physics by saying that chemistry dealt with small things and physics with the larger ones. Since then it has been found that physics as a study takes up small parts of substances as much as chemistry." Physics and chemistry are the bas ic physical sciences, explained the lecturer, as distinguished from some other sciences of the same class which deal with special phases of physics. Such studies as astronomy and geology are not classed as funda mental physical sciences. Explains Electricity. The five divisions of the study of physics are mechanics, sound, heat, light, andjelectricityProfessor Mar vin spent most of his time with ex planations of the subject of electric ity. He used vacuum tubes of van ous sorts to explain the action of electrons. "Not so very many years ago," said Professor Marvin, "scientists be lieved the smallest division of matter to be the atom. But the last thirty years have been the golden age of physics. .During that period many new discoveries have come to light, which teach us among other things that even the atom is not the ulti mate division of matter. The atoms are made up of electrons." How the discovery of x-rays and the phenomenon of radio-activity have influenced the science of phys ics was told by Professor Marvin. Progress in this branch of study has been ten times as fast as in the pre ceding years, he said. Demonstrate Faraday Tubes. . The first vacuum tube was made by Faraday. It successfully demon strated that when electricity was in troduced into' a vacuum tube it would be carried through the vacuum from pole to pole, casting off a glow. The lecturer demonstrated the phenome non with various types of tubes. The type which was used by Faraday was that of a single small glass tube bent many times to form a network of tubes running at right angles to each other. Colors of the glows produced by the current in vacuum tubes was ex plained as due to various causes, such as the kind of glass of the tube, or the properties of the gas enclosed. When different kinds of minerals were placed in tubes the colors were changed. The fact that electrons csst from one electrically charged terminal to another caused the glow of light was asserted by Professor Marvin. He also proved that they were thrown off in straight lines and that when the current was reversed they flowed in opposite directions. A vacuum tube containing small vanes which were free to move on an axis was used to demonstrate the fact that electrons have the power of transferring their energy. When cur rent was introduced at one terminal the vanes were gradually started whirling, as if they were being struck by small particles of matter. When the current was reversed me vaue were slowed down and finally start ed whirling in the other direction. "Each electron has a fixed charge of electricity," said Professor Mar vin. "They always are the same and also have the same mass." The electric charge contained in one electron is 0.000000000000000 00016 of one coulomb, and its mass is 0.000000000000000000000000000- 09 of one gram. All the electrons which pass through a common 60- watt electric light bulb in one second could be divided among the people of the world so that each person would receive 00,000,000. MILITARY BALL TICKETS SOLD Practically Every Admission Taken Committee Recalls Unsold Tickets. NO CORSAGES TO BE WORN, CADETS RULE Practically every ticket for the Military ball, to be held at the city auditorium Friday, December 5, has been sold, and many calls have been received for more, according to Em- mett V. Maun who is in charge of the ticket sales. With the exception of the few tickets that might still be held unsold by the fraternities, no more tickets are available. The ticket-sales committee asks those who are still holding unsold tickets to turn them in at Nebraska Hall 204 today so that the entire allotment may be sold. At a meeting of the Cadet Offi cers' Club Friday evening, the deci sion was unanimous that no corsages will be worn. Although the party is formal, it was the opinion of the cadets that the addition of corsages to other expenses would tend to make the ball entirely too expensive. One hundred cadets will start to work Friday morning under the su pervision of the decoration commit tee to get the ' auditorium in readi ness for the evening. The ballroom will be covered with a mass of flags and thousands of red and white streamers. The military effect will be carried out in the serving of re freshments and in the decoration of all parts of the auditorium. The favors and programs have ar rived and will be decidedly novel, ac cording to the chairman. Confetti, balloons, and other novelties will be added for the evening's entertain ment. Those in charge of the ball urge everyone to get there by 8 :30, if pos sible. The grand march will start then and will be followed immediate ly by the officers' dance. This will give a full evening to the opening formal of the season. COMPANY SHOOTING STARTS NEXT WEEK Each Regimental Unit Asked to Enter a Five-man Team in Rifle Match. The annual intercompany rifle match will be held next week. Each company is expected to enter a team of five men with two alternates. The first week following the Christmas holidays the interfraternity match will be held with each fraternity en tering a five-man team. The Y type of target will be used in both of these matches. Each man will fire ten shots in each of the four positions in order prone, sitting. kneeling .and standing. "This order of positions is used because prone is the easiest and standing is the most difficult position," says Captain L. W. Eggers of the military depart ment. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE Durine the Christmas holi days the basketball team will make a barnstorming trio to the South. Four games are already assured and Coach R. H. Hager is trying to get two or three more. Women Spend Less Investigation Made at Missouri U. As a result of an investigation con ducted at the University of Missouri and published in the Columbian Mis sourian it is shown that "university men spend more money than the same class of women because, accord ing to the men, they need more. Whether they mean that men have more natural and cultural necessities or need more money for luxuries is left to the reader. "In general, women do well with a $60 monthly portion of affluence while the men average about $75. "One more fairly accurate general ization upon which all students agree is that they spend at school exactly what they get or a little more. If it is $50 or $150 it is spent with equal facility and the same worry and brings about the same benefit. "One freshmsn in school this year is going through with $40 a month. Since he spends 30 cents for break fast, 15 cents for lunch and 30 cents for dinner he still manages to see movies and drink "cokes." "Perhaps the type of struggling, ambitious student who holds that in dependence is above everything else, is increasing in numbers but there are still examples of the other kind. Last year while one-half of the stu dent body was scraping through one Banquet Ticket Sale Starts Next Monday Tickets for the Cornhusker Ban quet, to be held the evening of December 12 at the Scottish Rite Temple, will be put on sale next Monday, according to Arthur Whitworth, chairman of the com mittee in charge. The plans for this annual affair will include two or ' ras. Robert Joyce, Lincoln business man, has been selected as toastmaster. The fact that Mr. Joyce is a speaker of note should prove an extra inducement for at tending. Preparations are being made for 1,300 men, against an even thousand last year. Y. W. BAZAAR OPENS TODAY Linens, Novelties, Baby Clothes and Candy Are Donated by Members. INVITE WOMEN TO DO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING All University women are invited to do their Christmas shopping at the Y. W. C. A. bazaar which opened this morning at 10 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall. The bazaar will be open until 8 o'clock tonight and Thursday, but Friday evening it will close at 5 o'clock. Four booths, gaily decorated in Christmas colors, have linens, novel ties, baby clothes and candy. They are located in the court and the bal cony of the hall. Hundreds of dainty Christmas gifts and many pounds of fudge, divinity and stuffed dates are on sale. Special music will be during the evening. The bazaar is under the direction of Betty. Raymond, '25, Lincoln, chairman of the conference committee. The proceeds from the sales will be used to send represen tatives to the annua X. W. C. A. convention, and any remaining money will be given to help make up the deficit in the Y. W. C. A. budget fund. All articles on sale have been do nated by members of the associa tion. SCHOOL OF MUSIC PRESENTS RECITAL Classical, Voice and Instru mental Numbers on Pro gram of 15 Students. Fifteen women students in the School of Music took part in the stu dent recital in the Temple Theater at 8:15 last evening. Classical music by the best foreign and native composers comprised the program. Both vbice and instru mental numbers were given. The participants were Lenore Lay man, Nina Butler, Whilma Ander son, Mary Creekpaum, Lillian Mil ler, Hanah Keegan, 'Lily Burgess, Jeannette Olson, Florence Hilton, Bernice Tillma, Irene Anderson, Elizabeth Luce, Marian Yoder, Mary Ellen Edgerton, and Margaret Ma lowney. Than Men, Shows student, at least, led a different life. In eighteen days he spent $350 in en tertaining one co-ed in whom he must have been rather highly interested. "A woman, representative of the class that really 'goes places and does things' was questioned in regard to her personal finances. 'Well,' she said, 'I spend front's thousand to twelve fifty a year in school. My fall wardrobe usually runs about five hundred, and that's mighty cheap too, and then I blow another five hundred during the summer.' "Another said, 'Well, you see, Dad is interested in horses. Sometimes on the first of the month I get a lot of advice and then occasionally a check for five hundred. Dad says it's good for me and he's probably right. If I never know when the next check is coming or how big it will be how can I be anything bit wonomiral?' "Not all of the "big spenders get rid of their money in social pursuits. A man was graduated last year who spent $200 a month for the four years he was in school and was not known to have had more than three dates in all that time. "Ancf so nothing really definite can be said. Students get different sized allowances and are sure to be interested in spending it in their own peculiar way." MC KIE REPRESENTS Y. M. IN COUNCIL Is One of Three Representa tives for Nebraska at Na tional Meeting. Alexander McKie, Jr., 6, Omaha, left Tuesday morning for Buffalo, New York, where he will be one of the three representatives from Ne braska at the first meeting of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. of the United States. Thia session, which will last four days, is very important, taking up as it does the reorganization of the national movement. McKie will rep resent the student department of the rtate. He was elected to this posi tion at the annual state convention held last October. JOHNSTON SPEAKS AT Y. W. VESPERS Westminster Presbyterian Pas tor Gives Address, "Au dacity of Faith." "The Audacity of Faith" was the subject of the address given by the Rev. Paul C. Johnston of Westmin ster Presbyterian church at Vespers in Ellen Smith Hall at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening. The services were presided over by Elsa Kerkow, and Viola Forsell furnished special music. "There is within us all," asserted Rev. Johnston, "a hero and a coward instinct. Religion is the power with in the soul of every one of us which develops the hero at the expense of the coward." The audacity of that faith, he continued which grows from the cultivation of the ht.ro, is that faith which has made truth and righteousness triumph always. The speaker cited Frances Willard and Theodore Roosevelt as two out standing characters who have reveal ed great audacity of faith. ROCKNE SUGGESTS CHANGE IN RULES Wants Kickoff Set Back Ten Yards and No First Down v on Offside Penalty. Knute Rockne, sometimes refer red to as the "Henry Ford of foot ball," suggests two changes in the present system of rules. While Rockne praised the present rules, he said he thought a few changes would improve football somewhat. "A great many coaches with whom I have talked," he said, "agree that moving the point of kick-off ten yards back would be a good thing because it would do away with so many kickoffs' going over the goal line. "I would like to see the present rules changed so that when the de fensive team is offside, the penalty would be inflicted without given the opponent a first down." Rockne suggested these changes at a banquet in New York given by Angus McDonald, controller of the Union Pacific railway, for alumni of Notre Dame. HUNTINGTON GIVES ADDRESS ON "WAR Methodist Student Pastor De clares War Wrong from Christian Standpoint. Dr. II. F. Huntington, student pas tor, spoke on "War" at a joint meet ing of the Agricultural College branches of the University Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Dr. Huntington told of the causes and results of war and also of the relation of churches to war. He said, "From a Christian standpoint, war is always wrong. A man who takes part in a war must surrender his body and his con science." The meeting was in charge of Ja cob Friedli, president of the Agricul tural College branch of the Univer sity Y. M. C. A. A harp solo was given by Margaret Olson, and several vocal selections were given by Albert Friedli. The next joint meeting will be held January 6, at Agricultural HalL UTAH AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE Various buildings, doors, windows, sidewalks, and two fra ternity houses were the recipients of red paint spread freely by hearty en thusiasts of the University of Utah recently. In exchange several stu dents of the College made a hurried trip to Salt Lake City and returned the compl'jnent. Blue calcimine was used, however, instead of the red paint. SIG NU, A.T.O.

Close contests marked the second day's play in the infraternity basket ball tourney on the Armory court yesterday afternoon when the Sigma Nu's and Alpha Tau Omega's ad vanced to the second round braces. The Sig Nu five defeated Pi Kappa Alpha by a close 12-to-7 margin; the A. T. O. courtmen topped the Farm House quintet 16 to 10, scoring three ringers during the last four minutes of play. All interfraternity contests sched uled for this afternoon have been postponed until Thursday in order to allow the Varsity hoopmen full sway on the Armory boards. The N Club committee in charge of the tourney announced yesterday that four games will be played tomorrow, with the opener at 4 o'clock. Phi Delta Chi, entered in the meet late through an oversight, will tangle with Lambda Chi Alpha in the first contest Thurs day. Decided at Whistle. Close guarding featured the play Tuesday throughout both contests. The A. T. O.-Farm House game was in the balance until the last minutes of play ,with both teams alternating in the lead and the winners holding a 7-6 margin at the end of the first half. Sigma Nu exhibited a close de fense during the first period of their meeting with the P. K. A. team, hold ing the losers scoreless until the last half. The floor work of both Sigma Nu and A. T. O. was outstanding. Steiner was the big flame in the Sigma Nu light, scoring six of his team's counters, while the work of Dailey and Stephens stood out for A. T. O. Jacobsen played an important role for the Farm House crew, send ing the leather through the rim three times during the curtain clash. Following are the summaries of yesterday's contests: Sigma Nu P.
