Huskers Low lo All-Star Athletic
Club FIt, But New Men
Make Good Showing
The Cornhuskers play their third
basketball game of the season Sat
urday evening when they meet the
fust Creighton University five In
Omaha. Although they lost their
first two starts, the Nebraska five
aro determined to defeat the Blue
Jays, if possible
Tickets for the game are now on
tale nt the athletic office and may,
be purchased for $1.50. These seats
are reserved and are in the Nebraska
section.
The Blue Jays have played four
gnmcs this season and have been vic
torious in three. They opened the
season against Midland and had lit
tle trouble in winning by a large
margin. Minnesota was the nex
team to invade the Creighton camp
and the teams drew even in a two
game series, Minnesota taking the
first by a one point margin and
Creighton winning the nightcap.
Creighton next defeated Iowa State,
conquerors of Chicago.
May Be Changed Lineup
It is predicted that a changed Hus
ker lineup will greet the followers of
the cage sport in the Creighton game.
Sophomore members of the squad
showed up so well in trie Kansas City
Athletic Club games that they may
crowd some of the letter men of last
year out of a position. The squad
has returned from a busy vjeek of
holiday practice in Kansas City.
According to Coach Bearg, the Ne
braska squad registered considerable
improvement while in Missouri, and
a great percentage oi the progress
was shown by the newer men on the
squad. In the game against the vet
eran K. C. A. C. five, the Huskers
allowed their opponents to get a safe
lead during the first half, bat dur
ing the second hnlf the Nebraska
tossers held the all-star combination
on even terms.
The big thing bothering the squad
is the lack of experience, but the
men are fast gaining this. Coach
Bearg is well pleased with the show
ing made by his men in the last
frame, especially ahe work of the
sophomores.
Vint Lawson and "Jug" Brown
saw duty as guards and these two
men played a creditable game. Spra
gue, another "youngster", also per
formed well as a guard.
The pleasing performance of the
evening was made by Tom Elliott of
West Point. "Playing his first game
as a member of the Varsity squad
Elliott entered the game in the sec
ond half and scored three baskets in
less than fifteen minutes of play.
Through his fine showing Elliott may
start at forward in the Creighton
game.

GIVES CONFERENCE
REPORT AT YESPERS
Rev. Harold Fay Tells of Interde
nominational Meeting at
Evanston
"The conference was a conference
of teachers" said Rev. Harold Fey in
speaking at Vespers Tuesday even
ing of the Interdenominational Stu
dent Conference which was held at
Evanston, III., on December 29, 30,
31, and January 1 in the First Meth
odist church. Tho Vesper services
were led by Ershal Freeman and a
piano solo was played 'by Beatrice
Fuller.
"The characteristic which ran
through the whole conference as a
minor note was the fact of the fail
ure of the conference," stated Rev.
Fey. One of the prominent leaders
of the conference attributed this
failure to a lack of factional back
ground. "There were the ideas but
not the background for the idea,"
pointed out the speaker. The stu
dents of today are beginning to work
out their doctrines and the things
needed in background.
Tho greater majority of students
are searching for the means of solv
ing a number of problems which are
facing the church today, including
race relationship, the industrial situ
ation and the political human rela
tionship or the question of war.
"The church today is a middle
class proposition run by the middle
age members of the church. The
church does not know the problems
of industry and war. The church
is nationalistic. A Chinese student
stood up at the conference and pro
tested against the present day mis
sionary. Imperialism ha3 forced
Christianity on the Chinese, the stu
dent stated. When the church gives
people a spiritual technic then it is
solving the problems for the new
race," concluded the Rev. Fey in
discussing a few of the ideas def
initely arrived at and expressed at
the conference.
This is the first conference of its
kind thtat has ever been held and a
continuation committee was appoint
ed to put in a definite form the ideas
and results of the meeting. The
committee will also make plans for a
similar international meeting to be
held sometime in the near future.

Museum Staff Preparing Series of
Afternoon Programs
Encouraged by the steady attend
ance of the public, the University
Museum Staff is arranging to con
tinue the Sunday afternoon lec
tures which have been held during
the past two seasons. The talks will
usually be associated with the vari
ous departments of the museum,
but it is hoped that they may deal
also, as opportunity offers, with
current events in the field of natur
al history, the publication of import
ant books, and other cognate sub
jects. They will all be free to the
public, and will last for half an
hour beginning at 3 o'clock each
Sunday afternoon. If the limited
accommodations of the lecture room
make it necessary, the lectures will
be repeated at 4 o'clock.
The program for January will be
as follows: January 3 "Elephants.
Ancient and Modern"; January 10
"Half an Hour with the New Ed-
inger Electric Miscroscope"; January
17 "The Story of a Pebble" (illus
trated by pictures of English scene
ry) ; January 24 "The Evolution of
the Harp" (illustrated by slides and
selections); January 31 "A Miner
al and National Romance."

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
JUNIOR COLLEGES
Nebraska Cities Suggest Mainte
nance in Connection With
High Schools
An innovation, in the form of a
city Junior college, is being intro
duced into the public school system
by McCook, Fairbury and North
Platte and is being considered by
other cities in Nebraska. These
cities plan to maintain Junior col
leges with a small faculty in the high
school building. The college is a
municipal undertaking and will be
supported entirely by the city. It is
thought that cities of 5000 and
above or any city where one hundred
prospective college students can be
found, will adopt the plan.
The city Junior college has been
tried in California, Iowa and other
states with success. Kansas has
twelve Junior colleges. Only two
years of college work is offered. The
prime purpose in establishing these
local colleges is to relieve the con
gestion of the universities, to keep
the student under the home influ
ence longer and to lessen the ex
pense of obtaining a higher educa
tion.

CLUB HONORED
Local Chapter Given High
Place by District Conven
tion of National
TO FOSTER GOOD WILL
The University of Nebraska chap
ter of Cosmopolitan club was made
the national vice-presidential chap
ter of the Fifth District at the first
district convention of Cosmopolitan
clubs of America held at Lawrence,
Kansas, from December 28 to Janu
ary 1. The Cosmopolitan clubs are
organized into six districts, with the
national vice-presidential chapter in
the Fifth District for the last two
years. The next district meeting will
be held in Lincoln.
The object of this association of
clubs is to develop in the world the
spirit of human justice, tolerance,
cooperation, and brotherhood. It
seeks to promote international good
will and peace through the encour
agement of better understanding
among nations by favoring such mea
sures as the World Court. The pur
pose of the recent convention was to
foster this spirit of international
good will and to take up in discussion
the foreign students' problems.
De Sa Represents Nebraska
Fifteen nationalities and eight col
leges and universities were represent
ed at the convention. . Vcro DeSa,
'27, London, was the University of
Nebraska delegate. Eight Cosmopoli
tan clubs within the district did not
send representatives. The number
of American students at the conven
tion about equalled the number of
foreign students.
Exi-Chancellor Strong of Kansas
gave the opening address of the con
vention. Discussions on internation
al and inter-racial problems, both on
and off tho college campus, were led
by Floyd Simonton, K. U. represen
tative to The Student World Court
Conference at Princeton.
Ben Cherrington, student secretary
of the Y. M. C. A. in the Rocky
Mountain region and University of
Nebraska graduate, in his discussion
of "Problems of Foreign Students in
America" stated that "distance leads
to ignorance; ignorance leads to mis
understanding; misunderstanding
leads to hatred and war. Proximity
does not mean confidence and under
standing but it is the first requisite
toward establishing confidence and
understanding." i Several other
speakers were on the program.
All students interested in hearing
a reporjt of the district convention
are invited to attend the meeting of
the Cosmopolitan club held next
Sunday. At this meeting the Ne
braska chapter will al?o elect from its
membership the national vice-president
for the Fifth District.

PUBLISH HENDRICKS ARTICLE
Based on Results of Questionnaire
Sent to Many Schools
An article entitled "How We
Teach Freshman College Chemistry,"
by Dr. B. Clifford Hendricks of the
University of Nebraska appears in
The Journal of Chemical Education
for December. The paper deals with
the administrative aspect of any at
tempt to standardize beginning chem
istry courses, and is based on the
results of a questionnaire sent to
seventy colleges and universities
seeking information in regard to
credit for the first-year course, the
laboratory and cfuiz; requirements,
time given to lectures, number of
students registered, their distribuj
tion, itc. Thirty-seven replies were
received, representing a total of
17,000 students in freshman chemis
try courses, of whom 12,000 were
beginning the study of chemistry.
Forty-nine per cent of the institu
tions reported that they were well
satisfied with what has been found
to be the prevailing practice. The
task of those who want standardiza
tion, then, the writer points out, is
to convert the fifty per cent who
have practice at variance with the
more common to. a nearer approach
to uniformity.
