BEARG SPEAKS
AT BARBECUE
Nearly 500 Freshmen Attend
Annual Affair Sponsored
By Iron Sphinx
CHEERS OPEN PROGRAM
Nearly 500 freshmen were pres
ent at the annual Freshmen Barbe
cue given by the Iron Sohinx, men's
sophomore organisation at the sta
dium last evening from 6:30 to 7:80
The freshman cheerleaders started
the program by leading a few
cheers for the team, for the school,
and the freshman class. Ray Ran
dels, president of the Iron Sphinx,
was the toastmaster for the evening.
The first speaker on the program
was Coach E. E. Bearg who was in
troduced by the toastmaster. Coach
Bearg stressed the fact that all the
freshman were in the University to
obtain an education and that they
should study hard in order to justify
the trust placed in them by their
parents and secondly in order to be
eligible to participate in any sport
if the school needs them. He went
on to say that every freshman, no
matter what his sire, should go out
for athletics in order to keep in con
dition and to help Nebraska. -Msmy
men, more than yon think, are used
in the games every year and every
man who has any ability at all has
a chance to make the team. I want
to see as many men as possible from
the freshman class out for football
in the spring," said Coach Bearg in
closing his talk.
Dean Engberg was the next
speaker to be introduced. He urged
the freshman to work and study
hard in order to make a good record
for their class. He showed that the
freshman average in scholarship
was equally as good as that of the
upper-classmen and asked the fresh
man to uphold record for another
year. Before closing: Dean Eng
berg told the first-year men to work
hard for themselves and also for
Nebraska and to help and make it
the biggest and finest University in
the country.
The last speaker of the evening
was Robert Lar.?, president of ttie
Innocents. He began by giving the
history of the Olympics and explain
ing the tradition. He pointed out
that this year each class would have
to play fair and according to the
rules or they would be penalized
and that the class that obeyed the
rules was the one that would win on
November 21. He said that then
spirit of the freshman class as a
whole was very poor as has been ap
parent from the small turnout at
the rallies. He explained how co
operation was necessary in order tc
have a real school spirit and that
the spirit of the students who arr
now freshmen would be the future
spirit of the Nebraska. Finally
Lang asked that the freshmen turr
out for the rally before the Notrr
Dame game which is to be the big
gest of the year and urged the
freshman to catch the spirit and to
help Nebraska win.
After the freshmen had expressec
their appreciation of the speecher
hv a loud cheer a line was formed
and they were served with hot dogs
doughnuts, apples and dril pickles.
Considering the inclemency of the
weather the turnout was very large
and greatly exceeds the number at
tending the barbecue last year.

rooting.
Two mass events have been de

Members of the Iota Sigma Pi, wo

The supper was carried out in the
idea of a laboratory experiment.
Guests, rated by a prepared test ac

formed its "experiment" at a labor
atory table with coffee in beak
ers, oyster soup in evaporating dish
es and with various other regeants

Y. H. G. A. FUND
Less Than Half of Quota Had
Been Raised by Workers
Up until Last Night
FINAL CHECK TONIGHT
Average of Individual Pledges Has
Been Larger Than Formerly
Bnt Wot as Numerous
Less than one-half of the total of
$2000 sought by the University Y.
M. C. A. from students for support
of its work during the year has been
raised so far, a check of the sub
scriptions last night by Judd Davis,
who is in charge, showed.
All the members of the ten teams
competing in the drive will meet in
The Temple at 9:30 tonight to turn
in all pledges and money and make
a final check.
"It is imperative thai every man
attend the final meeting tonight, so
that we will know exactly how the
drive stands,' said Davis.
The greatest difficulty has been
that many of the workers are not
seeing as many men as they should,
"Y" officials believe. The average
of individual pledges has been more
than twice as large as in former
years, but they are not as numerous.
Merle Jones' team, which had
nearly raised its quota of $200 last
night was in the lead. The team
captained by Douglass Orr was a
close second.
"From the results so far we know
that we can get the money; it's just
a matter of taking- time to see
enough different men," Hugh Cox,
president o.' the Y. M. C. A. said.
"Some of the men who have really
been, out working have brought in
rather astounding suma over $50
in some cases.'
The $2000 which the "Y" is asking
from students is only a fraction of
total needed to sustain the associa
tion during the year. More than
$6000 comes from the Lnicoln Com
munity Chest, alumni subscriptions,
and proceeds of various "Y activi
ties. Subscriptions from alumni and an
increased anotment from tha Com-
m unity Chest were secured with the
understanding that students would
contribute at least $2000 says Ar
thur Jorgensen, general secretary.
"If we fan to raise this quota the
"Y" wiU simply be up against ft,"
declared Jorgensen. "There is no
alternative. We've got to put it
across."
