Big RaHy Hoped to Raise Spirit

For Saturday Game
FRESHMEN FURNISH FUEL
Many in Line-up of last Year's
Valley Championship Squad
Will Play Here'
A mammoth bonfire rally is shced
uled for Friday on the eve of the cru
cial struggle with Missouri. .The
Nebraska-Missouri game is rapidly
being rated as Nebraska's "1926
Notre Dame" despite the fact that
it comes in early season.
Nebraska held the Valley title for
the last time in 1923. Missouri took
it from Nebraska in 1924 and re
tained it last year. The bulk of last
year's valley championship team will
be on hand Saturday facing the Hus
kers. Included in their ranks will be
Lindenmeyer, I who was picked by
many sports writers as All-American
tackle last year, along with Ed Weir.
Student leaders feel that the main
tenance of the fine spirit displayed
in the Coliseum last Friday is a ne
cessity this week. The rally is the
first outdoor rally of the year. The
raising of an unconquerable spirit
such as has been raised in the past
for Notre Dame will be an effective
aid to the team in their battle against
the twice valley-champion Missou
rians. Freshmen to Bring Boxes
All Freshmen are expected to
bring one large box to the parade
field north of Social Science building
before 4 o'clock Friday. The boxes
are to be piled at the bonfire stake.
Five thousand rabid fans are expec
ted at this rally which should be one
of the biggest of the season.
The rally is to be the outstanding
rally of the early season as Nebras
ka's next two games will be played on
foreign soil.
The program for the rally includes
short, snappy talks by C. L. Brewer,
director of athletics at Missouri;
Harold Hutchison, Nebraska's all
valley center for the last two years,
Captain Lonnie Stiner, and John
Curtis, secretary of the Lincoln
Chamber of Commerce.
The fire will be started promptly
at 7:15 and the, rally will be over by
8 o'clock. Spirit-building for the rally
and game Saturday should start to
day and continue with . increasing
vigor until after the contest Rallies
will be held between classes Friday.
All enthusiasm is to be centered be
hind the team as thy prepare for
their chance to avenge last year's de
feat and to take another step toward
wresting the title from Missouri.
Varsity Cagesters
Hold Initial Drill
Initial practice for varsity basket
ball was held Tuesday evening in the
Coliseum. Practice will not go into
full swing until after the football
season, according to Coach Black.
The practice dates were set and a
short talk was given on the principles
and fundamentals to be taken up at
first
There were thirty-five men out
for the primary practice, and work
outs will be held four days a week
until Thanksgiving.
Spanish Senorita Added to Teaching
Staff in Romance Language Division
That the American universities are
more adapted to the practical side
of life than are the Colleges of Spain
and other European nations is the
opinion of Ernestine Gongalez, a
Spanish senorita who joined the staff
of instructors in the Spanish depart
ment of the University this year.
Senorita Gongalez is a graduate
of the University of Madrid and
came here but a few weeks ago,
directly from Spain. When inter
viewed she started out to answer
questions in English but was soon
forced to revert 'to her mother
tongue and the service of an inter
preter. She found more ease in ex
pressing herself in her native lang
uage, pouring out her impression in
stream of rapid Spanish which was
well punctuated with characteristic
foreign gestures and Inflections.
Miss Gongalez is much impressed
by tie striking differences between
the European and the United States
universities. She was very enthusi
astic over her new experiences and
insists that there is more freedom
in our schools than in those of Spain
although she declares the students
here are strangely docile in charac
ter. Spanish universities are better
fitted to develop the exceptional
rather than the ordinary student.
Botanical Seminar

Dr. P. A. Rydberg, 91, for many'
years curator of the New York Bo
tanical garden, wall speak to the
Botanical Seminar in Bessey Hall
this Thursday evening. Dr. Ryd
berg is spending a week here going
over material in the University her
barium, preparatory to publishing a
work on the flora of the plains
states. All those interested are in
vited to the meeting this evening.
FIRST-FORDM
HEARS HAYES
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Speaks
On Individuality Problem
Or Following Crowd
"Just how far should we follow the
ernwd and how far should we go it
alone?" asked Secretary C. D. Hayes
of the University Y. M. C. A. in his
address before the World Forum at
the Grand Hotel Wednesday noon.
Secretary Hayes talked on the
question of following the crowd or
being individual under the title, "Fol
low the Man from Crook's." He open
ed by pointing out that this was the
slogan of Cook's tourist agency and
that they have built up a reputation
for showing the crowd where to go
for a tour.
On these tours, Mr. Hayes pointed
out, "The whole crowd follows along.
All see the same thing. On their re
turn, they can tell all they have seen
if they can look long enough in their
guide book." v
"Going through the University is
much like touring a foreign country,
accordine to the speaker. Students
come and find everything an appar-
4-i.t-n.Ail Zrma nouAr ept mit of
CUb bUllllUUt fjwiv " " ' " o
this state of mind. Many follow the
course and get out with a vague feel
ing that they had missed something
which they could have seen if their
eyes had been open.
Enjoyed Freshman Initiation
Secretary Hayes spoke of his en
joyment of the Freshman initiation
in the Coliseum and then raised the
question, "How far should college
traditions be followed?"
In partial answer, he cited two
quotations. One college president
dealt with the mishandling of fresh
men. He contrasted those men who
are built like Rolls-Royce cars with
those built like Fords. Often the
school or its students try to make the
Rolls-Rovce tvte over as Fords. The
result, he dcelared, is generally not
a good Ford and the Rolls-Royce is
ruined.
On the other hand, he pointed out
that a prominent dean of an Amer
ican state university believes in the
formation of student groups, since
he feels that ordinarily the group
idealism is better than individual
idealism in its practice and the ease
with which it can be handled.
Secretary Hayes then turned from
the question of how far to follow the
crowd to the problem of which crowd
to follow. In this relation he pointed
out that there were generally two
crowds, two attitudes on questions.
and that a decision had to be made
as to which was to be followed.
Mr. Hayes closed with a series of
Questions directed to the audience
and which were answered by mem
bers of the Forum. Finally, he point
ed out that there were two extremes
going blindly with the crowd or going
against the crowd.
Thus the mediocre student, the aver
age student of our universities, is
very scarce in Spain. In fact there
is no such student over there because
they teach only classical languages
and the higher phases of learning,
so that a student is either very good
or very poor and there is scarcely
a medium between the two.
Everything here is new, the ideas
the people, and most of all. the build
ings. In Spain the buildings savor
of the older civilization and fqr the
most part have been built for cen
turies. The very mellowness of
their atmosphere is reflected in the
students.
Senorita Gongalez is decidedly
Spanish in appearance. She ha?
straight, dirk brown hair, bobbed
in a distinctly American fashion, anJ
dark eyes which convey her thoughts
much more effectively than her Eng
lish.

RHODES SCHOLAR
WILL BE CHOSEN
December 11 Is Election Date of
New Representative to
Attend Oxford
Literary and scholastic attainment,
leadership and interest in outdoor
sports, are a few of the attainments
necessary for recognition as a Rhodes
Scholarship candidate. On December
11, Nebraska will elect a scholar to
enter Oxford in 1927.
Five candidates for the sch"!arship
from the University of Nebraska will
be chosen by Dr. E. H. Barbour,
Dean Herman James and Dr. J. D.
Hicks. The scholarship student will
be chosen from these five, and others
from other state colleges. The ap
pointment is made by a commit
tee composed of four or five ex
Rhodes Scholars of Nebraska and
Chancellor Avery.
For eligibility and to be a candi
date one must be a male citizen of
the United States and unmarried,
must be from nineteen to twenty-five
years of age and must be at least a
sophomore in his school.
Qualities Required
Qualities of manhood, character,
public spirit and leadership play a
big part in the choosing of a rea!
character to represent Nebraska in
Oxford University, England. The sti
pend has been increased to 400
pounds per year, this sum being suf
ficient with economy to meet all ex
penses for school and vacation.
John D. Westermann, Jr., was the
last Nebraskan to receive the scholar
ship and only lately reports show
that Sheldon Tefft, who was chosen
several years ago, was among the
highest of Oxford scholars making
the three year course in two years.
A large number of candidates are
hoped for so that a winner can
picked who will keep up the Nebra
ka record. V
Museum Purchases Semi-Gem Stones
The Museum recently purchased an
interesting set of cut semi-gem stones
from William Kiener fo the depart
ment of geology. Mr. Kiener was a
lookout on Long's Peak this summer
and sold similar sets of cut stones
there.
