THE STUDENT MOB
To celebrate the winning of the
Notre Dame game some students of
the University decided Friday to dis
miss school. Sentiment had existed
against holding school on Friday, and
a week of constant rallies, culminat
ing in the football victory, brought
' the hysteria of the school to such a
pitch that class work was impossible.
The mob started, we are informed,
when a company of cadets on the
drill field invaded Bessey Hall , and
made enough noise to cause the dis
missal of the classes there. Rein
forced by the students from Bessey
Hall, the mob went to Teachers Col
lege and to Social Science Hall, stop
ping classes and adding its numbers
at each stop.
At 10 o'clock at Social Science a
class in sociology met. A fair pro
portion of the class wis present and
willing to listen to a lecture. The
mob outside, however, poured into the
room through the doors and windows
and booed and hissed when the wo
man professor of the class attempted
to speak. Dean Engberg was called.
As he entered the mob was singing,
"There Is No Place Like Nebraska,"
"You love your school?" asked the
dean.
"Yes," bellowed the mob. And to
demonstrate it they hissed and shout
ed until the dean ceased his attempts
to talk. Some students who wished
to remain in th class were carried
bodily from the room.
Another mob entered the Law
building, where classes were being
held. Dean Seavey and two pro
fessors met them at the door. And
the bold, bad outlaws slunk away,
Another gang went to the Library,
and to prevent destruction of proper
ty, Dean Engberg announced that
all classes would be dismissed.
The demonstration was not par
ticularly serious, for few students
will be injured by the loss of one
day's class work. It was, however,
an illustration of the danger of the
mob spirit.
University students should be in
telligent enough in their thinking in
dependently. But with the ease with
which they are swayed by the first
irresponsible nitwit who comes along
was fully demonstrated Friday
Many rather intelligent students
joined the throngs that flocked in
and through the halls and added their,
bellows to the cry against holding
classes. Had someone suggested
some stunt that might have had seri
ous results, the mob probably would
have followed. North western's mob
last week, which burned down a house
and battled the police force, shows
that.
The "big day" Friday was not at
all serious. In fact, if was only
rather silly. But it does show that
many students are not proof against
the call of the mob that their sophisti
cation is skin-deep, and their intelli
gence limited.
MYTHOLOGY
- Nor' that the class presidents have
announced their committees, we may
relegate the committees to the limbo
of forgotten things. Each list is
solemnly announced, a' most as seri
ously as if the committees were sup
posed to do something.
The scnion committees were an-r-i,nced
recently. There was an en

in recent years where the ilass has

is no men's inter-class athletics; there
was a woman's athletic committee,
but there is no women's interclass

debate committee, and there is an
inter-class debate. But we suspect
that it will be handled entirely by
those who are usually interested in
debating, and that the senior debate
committee will follow the example of
the others and never meet
But it is an admirable institution,
nevertheless. By it, the names of
the committee members are printed in
The Nebraskan and Cornhusker, and
the presidents are allowed to confer
some slight political favor.

Memorial Lectures Are Feature of
Convention Which Open in
New York November 30
Jiles William Haney, professor in
the department of mechanical en
gineering in the University, will at
tend the convention of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers,
which is to be held at New York Nov
ember SO to December 4.
One new feature of the convention
is the establishment of the Henry
Robinson Towne and the Robert Hen
ry Thurston lectures. These are me
morial lectures to commemorate the
pioneer work of these two men in en
gineering. The program includes
variuos technical sessions on machine
shop practice and machine design,
power and fuels, special industries
such as railroads, textiles, wood work
ing, and aeronautics, and Calculation
Methods, besides sessions of broad in
terest to industries.
The Conference of Student Branch
delegates will be held on Wednesday,
December 2. The aim of this student
branch activity is to give the student
a more complete understanding of
where his engineering course is lead
ing him.
Former Inatructor Visits Here
Walter Scott, Civil '23, and James
Marshall, Civil '25, called at the of
fice of Dean Ferguson of the College
of Engineering while here for the
game. Mr. Scott taught in the civil
engineering department forltwo years
and is now with the Parsons Con
struction Company of Omaha. Mr.
Marshall is connected with the Am
erican Bridge Company ot Gary, In
diana. "Science" Ha DeBaufre Article
An article entitled "Mechanical
Power," written by Prof. W. L. De
Baufre, of the department of me
chanical engineering, was published
in the Ooctober issue of "Science."
It was based on an address given by
Professor DeBaufre when he retired
as president of the Nebraska chapter
of Sigmi Xi honorary scientific fra
ternity on May 15, 1925.
Harold Holtz, secretary of the Uni
versity Alumni association ,was in
Omaha last week and met with the
former students of the University
who are interested i norganizing a
men's club from among the alumni in
Omaha. Ray Stryker, '23, has been
active in plans for the new organiza
tion and about thirty-five others
have signified their interest- A simi
lar organization of former women
students now living in Omaha is also
contemplated.
There is nothing the home folks
would appreciate more than a really
good photograph of yourself. A
glimpse into Townsend's display win
dows on South Eleventh street will
demonstrate the superiority of their
portraiture. Here "you will always
find familiar faces."

Students Will Discuss Problems
At Interdenominational Conference
"The attitude of our more thought
ful students toward the church is
that they are impatient with the op
position of the church to the teach
ings of science and with its clinging
to theological beliefs as the essen
tian thing in christian faith," writes
one of America's outstanding teach
ers of Sociology in analyzing the stu
dent attitude on the campus of a mid
western University.
Continuing, he says, "The marked
opposition to denominationalism
shows itself here only in the belief
thta churches should bury their theo
logical differences and unite upon the
program of Jesus. I think that all
believe in denominations as mere sep
arate organizations or "regiments' in
the christian army to promote one
common cause. They do not believe
in the antagonism of different de
nominations, and especially not in the
attacks of which the traditionally and
theologically minded are directing
against those of more liberal beliefs
within the christian church, making it
impossible for these latter to remain,
or at least work, in many denomina
tions. In the south and west there is
virtually a persecution of all of the
more liberal elements in the church
University Gallery
To Be Open Sunday
The University art gallery will be
open Sunday from 2 until 5 o'clock.
The Lincoln Artists' Guild collection
which is now being exhibited there
has attracted considerable attention
and the exhibit will be continued un
til December 5. It includes examples
of many different kinds of art and is1
an especially colorful display. A part
of the exhibit of work done by stu
dents of Syracuse University may al
so be seen at the art gallery now.
W. A.A. STARTS
RIFLB PRACTICE:
Team of University Women Will be
Selected to Shoot Against
Other School
The Women's Athletic Association
opens the rifling season with prac
tices starting Monday, December 7.
Practices are held any two hours per
week, and roll call will be taken this
year, as different from before. The
practices are held every day except
Mondays until January 31, and the
tournament will open February 1.
Rifling is open to all University
women including those who are tak
ing archery. This gives the women
unable to compete in more strenuous
sports, an opportunity to earn
enough points to be eligible for mem
bership. Rifling is a minor sport. A
list is posted on the W. A. A. bulletin
board in West Armory for all women
interested in the sport to sign up for
it.
Class teams will be picked, and a
class tournament will be held between
February 1 and March 16. An all
University team will be picked.
Teams in most state universities
either have been, or will be chal
lenged for the meet. Nebraska wo
men University rifling team will
shoot with a team at Honolulu, Ha
waii, Porto Rico, and a team in South
Africa. More contracts are coming
in. Women are urged to sign up for

"With the church as divided and as
medieval as it is, the more thought
ful students see little chance that the
church will be the means to the solu
tion of such problems as war, social
injustice, and intolerance, until it
makes the program of Jesus the cen
tral thing in its efforts and teach
ings." Whether the prosram of the pres
ent day church can be so readjusted
is the burning question which is draw
ing hundreds of students toward Ev-
anston, Illinois, for the Interdenomi
national Student Conference, Dec
ember 29th to January 2nd, 1925-26.
Within four days after the first
announcements of the conference
were sent out. the Executive Com-!
mittee at 10 East Huron Street, !
Chicago, received requests from over 1
20 students for rejristratiort cards.
These cards came from students of 26 j
different states and 97 different col
lects, including some of the greatest
Universities of the East and of the
West such as Harvard. Dartmouth,
Amherst, Cornell, Ohio State, Carle
ton. Illinois and California. Since
that time the number has been in
creasing stadily.

from all classes is necessary in order
