Gives Definition ol "New"
An answer to the long-debated
question of "what news is fit to
print?" was given by John L. Myer,
Milwaukee, editor of the National
Printer-Journalist when he was ini
tialed recently as an associate in
Sigma Delta Chi, professional jour
nalistic fraternity at the University
of Wisconsin.
"Publish news which has original
ity." he advised. Then he dug up the
definition of "originality" contined
in Webster's dictionary.
"Anything that is original," he
quoted, "is first in existence; not
copied, imitated or reproduced, that
w fresh or novel; having the power
to produce new thoughts, that is,
creative."
Hold Spelling "Bee"
"Debauchee" was the word which
incorrectly spelled brought defeat to
the Oklahoma A. & M. spelling team
n a "bee" held recently with the
University of Oklahoma. It was the
first affair of its kind that has ever
been staged between Missouri Val
ley schools.
The contest was held in two divis
ions the first of which consisted of
spelling a comnlete list of words and
the second, an old-fashioned spelling
'bee." The University of Oklaho

JANUARY 23 IS
PICTURE DEADLINE
Individual Pictures of Sorority and
Fraternity Member May
Still Be Taken
Saturday. January 23, is the last
day on which individual pictures of
members of sororities or fraternities
will be accepted for the Cornhusker,
says Donald F. Sampson, editor of
the 1926 Cornhusker.
Tho Cornhusker management sug
gests that the president of each or
ganization appoint one person to be
in charge of having individual pic
tures taken. It would then be the
duty of this person to notify each
member of the organization that his
picture must be taken before Satur
day.
Pictures mav be taken at Hauck's
or nt Townsend's. The price is $1.50
unless a print from last year is used.
In the latter case the price is fifty
cents.
New Field House Will Be Formally
Dedicated Before Jayhawk Lontest
Dedication exercises for the new
FiclH House will be held before the
Nebraska-Kansas basketball game on
February 6, according to an an
nouncement from the athletic auth
orities. This marks the first use oi
the structure that is to house both
athletic and student activities in the
future.
Beacuse of the good weather con
f the nast week construc
tion has been progressing rapidly
and the building will be completely
enclosed in the near future. It will
not be used for social activities until
next fall but can be made ready for
some athletic use this spring.
February 6 will set a new stand

ka, it is hoped. In the old Armory
there was only room for the student
body, and many people interested in
the games were turned away because
of the crowds. The new structure
will seat 8,500 spectators.
Used as an auditorium, the Field
House will seat 11,000 persons, pro
viding more room than has ever been
had for University functions.
Three aisles lead to the orchestra

tion with the auditorium as well ar,
basketball games.
A drop curtain will eventually be
bought for the stage, which measures
120 feet across, and will be as large
as the entire Armory floor. It could
be used for city functions, and may
be rented out for theatrical pur
poses, when a large stage is needed.
An orchestra pit that can be covered
over when the floor is needed for
dancing, will be used for musical
programs, and when the building if
used as an auditorium. The whole
structure has been planned so that
it can be used for athletics, social
occasions, and as an auditorium.
In the future all football rallies
can be held in the main room that
measures 120 by 208 feet. Some of
the rallies held last fall were marred
because of rain and cold weather,
and at the last minute they either
had to be held in the Armory or no(
at all. All such events will now be
held in the Field House and when
parade is part of the program, stu
dents can march from there over to
12th street, as for the torch light
parade before the Notre Dame game
It is also hoped that the communi
ty will make use of this building for
conventions, and meetings where
large crowds congregate. There is
no limit to the uses to which the
building can be put when it is en
tirely completed next fall.

"The Y. M. C. A. and Its Rela
tions to The Student Move
ment" Is Subject
MOVEMENT IS EXPLAINED
"To creat a better and fuller life
is the aim of the Y. M. C. A. and the
Youth Movement," stated John Cas
tecl of Nebraskan Wesleyan Univer
sity in his talk on "Tho Y. M. C. A.
and its Relation to the Student Move
ment" at Vesper services on Tues
day at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall.
The services were led by Miss Rachel
Parham and a piano solo was played
by Miss Bernice Groenwald.
In Germany and France there is
a very definite youth movement,
youth revolting at the old customs
of the country, said Mr. Castcel. In
United States the students on the
whole are very Conservative. The
young people of the United States
accept the World War as an unfor
tunate cost while those of Germany
and France revolt against the war
and blame the cider generation.
"On the whole the youth of today
does not know much about the prob
lems of the world and does not wish
to break from the church's ideas,"
affirmed the speaker, "and the pur
pose of the Y. W C. A. and Y. M.
C. A. is to link the young people and
the churches of the United States to
gether in friendliness."
The Youth Movement is radical in
the true sense of the word in that it
goes to the root of things that con
cern the three large problems of the
day, war, race and industry. To es
tablish a youth movement in the
United States today there are two I
things that must be considered, first,
more serious thinking and second
conception of Christ as a teacher,
social reformer or what?"
In closing the speaker urged that
we give ourselves whole heartedly to
accomplishing our ideals with a defi
nite picture of our conception of
Christ.

UNIQUE PROBLEM
Must Make Plans On Methods Of Ap
proach To Administration
Building From South
Methods of an approach to the Ad
ministration building from the south
were given to the engineers in the
surveying course as a practical prob
lem. Each student in the class sub
mitted a drawing of the plan he con
sidered best under the conditions as
stated.
These conditions were to preserve
an oak tree near the Administration
building, to leave the hydrant undis
turbed, and to take into account the
new curb line that will result when
R street is widened. The new line
will be set in five feet from the
present curb. The required width of
the driveway was 18 feet.

"Science and Progress" Is Subject of
Talk To Be Given By the
Chemistry Professor
Prof. H. G. Deming, of the depart

of the World Forum at the Grand
Hotel at noon today. This is the
second of a series of considerations
of progress. The luncheon will be

the speaker will have plenty of time
to present his subject.
At the meeting the first week of

Students who are interested in the
subject are urged to remain after the
speaker's presentations of the sub

At the meeting last week Professor
Hertzler outlined the various con
ceptions of the nature of progress
and the things toward which he con

discussion followed his talk.
Frank Urges Courageous Loyalty
To Fact In Journalism Address
Courageous loyalty to facts is the
goal of journalism, President Glenn
Frank, of the University of Wiscon
sin, declared ii a New Year greeting
to journalists, made at the request of
the Madison State Journal. His mes
sage follows:
"The new year finds journalism
standing as always at the cross roads
where the facts of life meet the
opinions of men.
"It could not ask a more strategic
position.
"Facts are the precious materials
out of which men fashion the policies
that guide their personal and public
affairs; and journalism is charged
with the high business of discovering
and disseminating facts.
Is Public Opinion Power
"Its power jn the field of opinion
is finally determined by its accuracy
in the field of facts.
"This does not mean that journal
ism is a cold and commercial busi
ness of merchandising facts alone;
we want our journalists to have tYc
courage of the crusader, but we want
it to be a courage bom of a confi
dent mastery of the facts. The great
Pulitzer used to say that 'accuracy is
to a ppwspaper what virtue is to a
woman.'
"At a Milwaukee luncheon table
a few weeks ago I was making a plea
for realism as the ultimate goal of
all our conservatisms, liberalism and

and from then on the.-,e horso-drawn

the subject to the faculty, but the

GREEK RIFLERS

ELEVEN TEAMS ENTERED
Thi Delta Theta is the first fra
ternity to finish shooting in the an
nual Greek rifle tournament. Ten
other fraternities have entered teams j
and completed part of the required
shooting. Captain Eggcrs is with- j
holding publication of the results un-
til the last team shoots Friday after-4
noon. I
Fraternities which have not enter
ed teams may still do so. The team
must consist of five men. All of the
scores will be counted. The gallery
is open morning and afternoon.
Two teams are entered in the non
fraternity tournament which is being
run along with the other tourney.
Some good scores have been made by
these teams. If there is a finish
shoot between the winners of the two
tournaments, the rifle fans will wit
ness a close and interesting match.
The match would probably arouse
more interest than an intercollegiate
shoot with some far distant school, as
the team members will be able to
fire against each other just as bowl
ing teams play in adjacent alleys.

"Journalism must find the facts;
it must not prejudice things in terms

that it is to be conformist or non

basis for action: journalism must
focus the facts it finds upon the is

I "Journalism must filter the facts;
it must with conscientious care sep-
prejudice, passion, partisanship, and
selfish interest; facts that are diluted
colored, or perverted are valueless as
a basis for action.
"Journalism must face the facts; it
must learn that the energy spent in
trying to find ways to get around,
under, or over the facts is wasted
energy; facts have a ruthless way of
winning the day sooner or later.

Iowa Five Presents One of Val
ley's Best Scorers in
Elliott
HAVE DEFEATED TIGERS
Bcarg is Working on Offensive De
partment to Strengthen Ne
braska Team
The Iowa State basketball quintet
will invade Lincoln Saturday night to
tangle with the Nebraska Cornhus
kers on the Armory court. This will
be the second Valley game for the
Iluskers this year. Iowa State, some
times known as the Ames Aggies,
has played three conference games
to date, winning one and dropping
two.
Ames dropped a close game to
Drake in an initial appearance thio
year and then kicked away their sec
ond game a few nights later in St.
Louis to Washington. However, the
boys.fromlhe Hawkcye state got re
venge at Missouri, defeating the Ti
gers by a one point margin when
Kling shot a basket with ten seconds
to go.
Although a tie for seventh place
in the conference standings, Ames
boasts of one of the leading scorers
and one of the best all-around play
ers in the Valley. Elliott, ace of
the farmer quintet, is in second place
in the individual scoring column be
ing passed only by Seago . of Wash
ington, who has pfayed in one more
game than the Ames star. Iowa
State is a threat to any team in the
conference with Elliott m the line
up. Coach Bearg's squad is undergoing
a series of stiff workouts this week
in order to have it in the best of
shape for the coming encounter.
While the Nebraska defense worked
in smooth fashion in the Grinnell
game last Saturday, considerable im
provement can be made in the offen
sive play. This week's practice will
be given over largely to further de
velopment of these tactics.
A changed line-up will probably
greet the Husker fans when the two
teams enter Saturday night's fray.
Just what the change will be is not
definitely known, but Coach Bearg
may decide to use Elliott at center,
and either Presnell, Andreson or
Beerkle at Elliott's forward.
