SECOND UUSICAL PROGRAM IS TODAY Roy Wall, Baritone, and Rex Fair, Flutist, Appear at Convocation In Temple Today The second of a series of musical convopHtinna will be held at the Temple theater this morning at 11 o'clock. Numbers on the program will be: I.

Sixteen men will go into the sec ond numeral meet in the stadium on Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock with points already earned toward a track numeral. This' will be the second of a series of fall meets on the Hus- ker track schedule this fall. Coach Schulte hopes to have more men out for the second meet, and provided the weather is good, better time will be made. The Husker weakness in the field events and the 440 yard dash can be strengthened if candidates can gain experience and be trained this fall, according to the veteran Husker coach. Besides building up for the spring team, fall training makes it possible for the athletes to get some recognition for their work, in the form of track numerals. Sixteen Have Points Of the sixteen men who have won points toward a numeray, three have already won their numeral. Durish in the shot put and discus throw com pleted the twelve point requirement in two or more events. Fleming by making his mark in the two hurdle races, broad jump and high jump, won twelve points. The third man, Green, by making good time in the hundred yard dash and low hurdles gained twelve points. Lemly, who ran the half-mile in fast time last Thursday has eleven points to his credit. He must make one or more points in another event before he can win the numeral. The ther men who are on the road to numeralis are: Doty, in the broad jump; Davenport, running the two tweny and hundred yard dashes; Graham, in the 2-mile; Hepperly, running the 440-yard dash; Hulsker, high j'umper; Holmes, low hurdles; Lowe, two-twenty yard dash; Mc- Kinsey, high jumper and high hur dler; Pope and Seagle in the high jump; Keneau, witn points in me broad jump, pole vault, and high a . . 1 ' 1 jump; and saui in me proaa jump.

Col. Jewett, commandant of cadets, in lieu of formal exercises that had been contemplated for the Nebraska R. O. T. C. regiment in observance of Navy Day, and abondoned on account of the coinflict with class hours: Today, October 27, is Navy Day. On this day the navy keeps open house for all persons who will accept its hospitality. We in the interior of this broad country, little appre ciate what the navy means to those who live nearer the coast. Last year on Navy Day, 380,000 people visited the various ships of the navy scattered along the ports of our sea- coast. Laud Peace Time Efforts "We honor the navy, not only be cause of its glorious deeds in our wars and for the men it has trained who have written their names in im perishable fame in our annals, but also because of its untiring efforts in times of peace. "It guards the shipping lanes of the North Atlantic against the cruel scourge of the gigantic icebergs. It was first to render assistance to the homeles of Smyrna and tp the earth quake sufferers at Tokio. It guards our citizens in their business and travels throughout the globe. Some of our most notable diplomatic suc ceses have been achieved by Naval officers, notably by Commodore Kearney in China, in 1840, and Perry in Japan in 1853. "October 27 has been set aside as Navy Day because it marks the anni versary of the presentation to Con gress in 1775 of a bill providing for the construction of the first ships of the navy. It is also the anniversary of the birth of the late President Roosevelt, . who while President, did so much to establish a sound naval policy for this country. Naval Man Once Here "Although the University of Neb raska is far from the sea, it can claim the distinction of having, at one time, a graduate of the Naval Academy, as Commandant of Cadets. Lieutenant Richard Townley, Commandant from 1882 to 1884, was from the navy, "Today as we do honor to our navy we cannot but be thrilled with the thought of the exploits of its many heroes. The names of John Paul Jones, Lawrence, Perry, Farragut, and Evans will always hold a promi nent place in the pages of our his torv. To the officers and men oi our present navy, who by their tire less efforts are maintaining the lofty tradition of our sea force, we should pledge our hearty support." F. F. JEWETT, Lieut Col.

EXTENSION SERVICE BACKING NEW WORK Is Cooperating in State-Wide Ameri canization Campaign Women's Clubs Assisting Steps are being taken to start a state-wide Americanization program in Nebraska, says the latest issue of the University extension news. Ex cellent results in this sort of work have been obtained in Omaha, but the rest of the state is far behind. The circular says: "If America is to maintain her priceless heritage, if the Ideals of liberty, democracy, and brotherhood are to be upheld, it is absolutely necessary that these ideals be under stood and appreciated by the people as a whole. We cannot have scat tered among us, here and there, little communities of aliens, speak ing some foreign tongue, holding allegiance at heart to some foreign flag. Tolerance With Firmness "Maintaining at all times a spirit of kindly tolerance, we must, never theless, insist that those who desire to share the opportunities of a free self-governing people must under stand the spirit of America which mnkes these blessings possible. We therefore believe that, for their sake, as well as our own, our foreign-born neighbors should be given the oppor tunity to learn the English language snd to understand the principles no which the American government is founded.

The Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs deeifeS to CO-CparSt8 t fullest extent' Chancellor Avery has issued the following statement at the request of the Omaha Bee, in reply to charges made against modern universities by Dr. Glenn Frank, recently inaugur ated president of the Uliversity of Wisconsin. Dr. Frank stated that universities pay too much attention to buildings and landscaping and neglect the needed revision of their curricu'a to meet the needs of the modern knowledge. The Chancellor's statement: "Veterans in university and college work are not surprised at the attack of Dr. Glenn Frank, President of University of Wisconsin, upon the . methods of higher education in Amer ica. Knowing him as a brilliant writer without exeprience as a col lege executive, they anticipated such . an address. Perhaps President Frank did not intend it as an attack but rather as a corrective address deliv ered with sufficient emphasis to at tract wide attention. If the press report represents President Frank fairly, it can hardly be considered as having been spoken judiciously. Buildings Needed Here "Viewed in most favorable light it is the type of protest that might be utttered in regard to the erection of such buildings as one sees in some of the great endowed institutions of the east and possibly in one or two state institutions. The spirit of America might also be criticized as displaying itself in the erection of the commodious and permanent school buildings that one sees in every pro gressive city, in the erection of the monumental churches, in the new statie capitols, and even in glorified newspaper buildings, such as the Chi cago Tribune. Perhaps President Frank has caught a feeling that may have come to some who considered themselves "intellectuals" as they watched the building of the Parth enon, the Colloseum, the great cath edrals, or the modern sky-scrappers. "The only point, however, that seems to bring out at this time is as follows: The institutions of the agricultural states have been com pelled by force of circumstances to adopt so modest a program that I am sure President Frank will be glad to say he did not have them in mind. At Nebraska we are housing student in two buildings that have been con demned for years. Better public schools have been wrecked all the way from Gering to Omaha. The Social Science Hall is the only build ing on the University city campus that will compare at all favorably with dozens of public school buildings recently erected all over the state. The investment in buildings per stu dent at the University is only about one-third of the per capita invest ment per pupil in many of the school districts. We have reached a point where teaching conditions are so bad that it is not a question of erecting splendid palaces, but merely of con sidering the health and safety of the students and faculty. Nebraska Hall, the roof and third story of which have been removed in the interest of safety, actually cost the state only a little more money than the invest ment represented by some of the gas oline filling stations in the city of Omaha. Does Not Apply "In conclusion I may say I feel personally a good deal like cne who has been to church and heard a pow erful and somewhat radical sermon on the faults of the era. I can go back complacently to my very mod est abode, speculating whether the preacher got under the cuticle of some of my opulent and extravaganti acquaintances, but with the feeling that none of his stricture hit me or my personal associates in the slight est degree." Dr. Frank charged the universi ties with being "merely charnel houses in which creative education lies buried" and "intellectual depart ment stores" educationally "head less," with presidents "little more than business managers and their (Continued on Page Three.) li Pershing Rifles Hold Another Try out Today Pershing Rifles will hold an other tryout for freshman and sophomores this afternoon at 5 o'clock on the drill field.
