THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1926. TRICE 5 CENTS RALLY FRIDAY IT STATION TO SEND TEAM OFF j To Lead Student Parade BaTBo Jepot on Eve of Wash-ington-Husker Game BEARGMEN IN TOP TRIM fecial Train Chartered To SPC Take Husker Football Men To St. Loui . Cornhusker rooters will ba out en ,e to furnish Nebraska's Bear "en with the biggest send-off possible Then they leave this afternoon at fi-00 for tomorrow's Washington-Nebraska grid contest at St. Louis, The Students will meet at the Armory a 5-30 and from there the parade will w to the station with its offering of moral surport for the Scarlet and Cream warriors. The procession will be led by the 1 Nebraska band and the Corncobs, Tassels and cheer-leaders will be in uniform for the occasion. Almost the entire student bedy is expected to turn out for the rally. When the parade reaches the sta tion the team will already be on its train. For the first time in Nebraska University's history the team has ar especially chartered train. Before the train leaves, NickJVmos, head varsity cheer-leader will lead the Cornhusker backers in a series of vociferous promises in expression of what they think of the team. When this has been done Coach Bearg and Captain Lonnie Stiner will probably be called upon for short speeches. If it is possible to get the players to speak they no doubt will be asked to say a few words. The rally will be held around the car and it will be possible for them to speak from the steps. , Inasmuch as the train is to leave promptly at 6:00 o'clock no student will have a valid excuse for not at tending the rally. It will not inter fere in any way with anyone's dinner hour. Thursday afternoon the Varsity went through a light scrimmage, the last before they entrain this after noon for St. Louis. Saturday they meet the Washington Bears in the first game between the two schools in eight years. At the last meeting of the two elevens, in 1917, the ' Cornhuskers were handed a 20 to 7 defeat, but this year's Huskers are planning to reverse the outcome. The record of each team shows the tame situation one victory and one defeat. The Bears took their setback from Iowa State a week ago Monday and Saturday turned around to beat the Missouri Mines. The Varsity men who make the trip to the home of the Pikers are ar yet unselected. Coach Bearg named thirty-four players of whom thirty will go.

'Out-Call' Service of Omaha Medical Students Is Valuable as Instruction The fculletin of the Association of (divided into quarter sections for clin- American Medical colleges for Octo-'ical bcr contains a very interesting article by Dean J. Jay Keegan of the Ne braska College of Medicine, concern ing the growth of the out-call service for senior medical students at that college. This ' out-call service has been established at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine since 1913, and haa been developed into one of the most desirable and most instructive services of the senior year. This out-call service, as it is called, is the practice of allowing senior stu dent at the medical college to make sick-calls under the supervision and instruction of a doctor. This prac tice was instituted originally to af " 'Dkivumi ui " mtj v - . , ford experience and practical wortjmer and reduce the number in tne lor the students. There are two very essential features in the success of this work; first its limitations to sen ior medical students, and, second, re sponsible supervuion. The senior class of about sixty is Junior Women Must Get Tickets Today Today will be the last chance for Junior women to buy tickets for the Silver Serpent luncheon to be held Saturday noon at Ellen Smith hall. Tickets are being sold at Long's Book Store and by mem bers of the Silver Serpents. Every junior woman is urged by members of the committee to be present. A three course luncheon is be ing prepared by Rudge and Guen rels and it will be served by mem bers of the Silver Serpents from long tables decorated in green and white. A special four act program will be given after the luncheon and will include musical numbers and a short skit.

For Nebraska: Fair Friday; warmer in southeast portion Fri day. assignments, and one section is assigned in rotation to out-call serv ice for two months. These students are not assigned to hospital clinical work or dispensary service during this time as extra hours are usually required to attend properly to the necessary home visits each day. The calls are received at the dis pensary where a book is kept record ing the patient's name, address, lead ing symptoms, student assigned, diagnosis and treatment. The calls this year have averaged between five and ten a day. The minimum number assigned per month to individual stu dent is ten. The assignment often exceeds this number as some stu dents take this work during the sum class sections. Also, some sxuaenuj are more ambitious than others or possess a car which enablejAhem to make more calls. In addition, follow up visit must be made on many (Continued on page 4) i i ARCHAEOLOGIST WILL SPEAK ON MAYA EMPIRE Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley to Tell of His Excavations Here Oct. 17 and 18 WILL LECTURE IN TEMPLE Considered to be Foremott Scholar in Hit Field; Hal Conducted Many Expeditions Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, perhaps the world's leading archaeologist in the field of the ancient Maya culture of Central America, is to deliver three lectures at the University Sun day and Monday, telling of his studies and excavations. For several years Dr. Morley has had charge of the Chichen Itza pro ject of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and at the famous city of Chichen has made discoveries which have aroused world-wide in- I terest in the amazing capitol of the ancient Mayas. Dr. Morley's first lecture will be Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Temple theatre when he will discuss "The Maya Civilization, the Most Brilliant Aboriginal Culture of the New World," telling of his discover ies in the whole field of the Maya culture. Monday morning Dr. Morley will speak again, his subject being "Chic hen Itza, the Holy City of the New Maya Empire." His lecture Monday afternoon will be devoted to the Maya and Aztec hieroglyphic writing. The Chichen Itza project on which Dr. Morley has been working for a number of years is considered by scholars to be by far the most im portant archaeological project in the new world. All of Dr. Morley's lectures will be copiously illustrated with slides made from photographs made during the expedition's work of unearthing the ancient city. The Maya civilization was flourish ing in Central America during the sixth century and reached its height about 1200 A. D. when Chichen Itza in northern Yucatan, was the capitol of the empire. In the thirteenth cen tury the city was destroyed by the Aztecs and, although it was known to the later Spanish explorersits treas urers have been unearthed only in recent years.. Dr. Morley is coming to Lincoln under the auspices of the Graduate College of the University and the de partments of philosophy, geology and sociology.

UNIVERSITY CHURCH SUNDAY OCTOBER 31 Federation of Church Workers Meets Thursday; Frances Creenongh To Be Present Oct. 28 The Federation of Church Work ers, consisting of the University pas tors and the secretaries of the two University Christian associations, met Thursday afternoon. They decided to hold All-University Church Sunday on October 31 instead of November 21 as previously scheduled.

Miss Frances P. Greenough, rep resenting the Council of Church Boards of Education, will meet with the group at their next meeting on October 28. They will arrange foi a visit of a team representative Church Board some time later in the year. The place of the meeting will be announced later. George VV. Beadle Is In Cornell University George W. Beadle ('25) who has been working the past summer on the identification of the grasses that make up the prairie hay in th. Elk horn valley, left September IS for Ithaca, New York, to do graduate work in Cornell university. He .will also be an assistant 'in the Depart ment of Agronomy at that institu tion. Mr. Beadle went by way of Washington, D. C, to consult with Mr. Edward C. Parker, U. S. D. A. on some of the work he has been doing this summer. CONSTRUCTION IS STARTED ON CHURCH MANSE Home of Dean R. Leland, Stu dent Presbyterian Pastor. To Cost $37,000 LOCATION IS IDEAL Westminister House To Be Built In The Heart of the Student District Construction of the new Presby terian manse at 335 North Four teenth street which is to be the home of the student pastor, Dr. Dean R. Inland, and headquarters for all Presbyterian student work at the University will begin early next week. Yesterday a wrecking crew be gan tearing down the historic old Judge Cobb home on the property which the Presbyterians purchased two years ago. Westminster house, as the new manse is to be known, will be a three- story, twelve-room brick house of English design similar to new struc tures in the fraternity and sorority district. Leaded glass, diamond-shaped windows and Tudor Gothic door ways will give an ecclesiastical note. Total cost of the house and lot will be near $37,000. Funds were contri buted by alumni of the University, parents of students, and state and national Presbyterian organizations. When the University pastor and his family occupy the new manse they will find themselves neighbors to hundreds of students, living in dor mitories, rooming houses, and frat ernity houses. It is Doctor Leland's desire that Westminster house be primarily a place where all students may congenially meet in a social way, or come to discuss their prob lems. Especially attractive will be the li brary in the new manse. Mr. J. L. Teeters of Lincoln has created a spe cial fund for providing books of in terest to students. There will also be a large reception room and a small conference room primarily for stu dent use. Three other denominations main tain houses near the University. Two years ago the Wesley Foundation completed the first unit of a Metho dist house at 1417 R street and it is now occupied by Dr. Harry F. Hunt ington and his family. The Baptist have a house at 1440 Q street and the Congregational student pastor has his home at 1504 Q street. A the corner of Thirteenth and R streets is the University Episcopal church. The Westminster Foundation "at the University of Nebraska, which in cooperation with the board of Christian education of the national Presbyterian organization, is build ing the new manse, is an incorpor ated body whose trustees are drawn from all parts of the state. Judge is president of the trustees and Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of the College of Pharmacy of the University, treas urer. The old square house which is be ing torn down played an important part in the early social life of Lin coln. It was built over fifty years ago by Judge Asmasa Cobb, a prominent figure in Lincoln's early days. Later it was the home of the Kappa Alpha Thcta sorority and in more recent years it was used as a rooming house. The classics department of the Uni versity occupied it last year after old University Hall was partially torn down. JAYHAWKS EMBARK FOR KAGGIE BATTLE K. U. Gridsters Will Make Attempt To Avenge Defeat at Hands of Wildcats in 1925 Manhattan. Kansas. Oct. 14. A shrieking, fluttering, bloodthirsty flock of Javhawkers are expected tc arrive here early tomorrow morning to take a few snarls out of the W lld cats and to attempt to gain back the prestige which they lost in 1924 when the Kansas Aggies beat K. U. for the first time since 1906. For the past two years Coach Charley Backman's grid men have defeated those from the university by one touchdown. In 1924 Don Meek, 135 pound right halfback from Idana, Kansas, snatched up a fumble made by the giant Zuber, this year's Jayhawk captain, and raced 60 yards for the only counter of the battle. The followine vear the rurple play ers showed a superiority over K. U in straight football and won, 14 to 7. Already this fall the Aggies have won from Texas university, 13 to 3, and from Creighton university, 12 to 0. In the first contest Coach Bach- man's men used the forward pass to good advantage, scoring both touch downs through aerial warfare. How ever, at Creighton last Saturday all gains were made through the line, only four passes being tried and three completed. Other Universities May Produce "Red Cockatoo ' 7 V J . 1 .. That plays written by Ruth Moore, Nebraska student, especially "The Red Cockatoo," will spread through colleges and schools of the United States, seems possible. Eight universities have ordered copies of her plays in response to booklets sent out early this year, containing extracts of many of her plays. Miss Moore won fame at Nebraska when her pjay "The Red Cockatoo" was presented here last spring.

The pony chorus is to be made up of eight small men who are able to sing and dance extremely well. They all are to be between five feet three inches and five feet eight inches i height.

G. Filley, chairman of the rural economics de partment in a radio talk, Wednesday afternoon, on the subject, "Is the Agricultural Depression Due to Land Speculation?" Everyone is interested in exchange ratios and it is that and no land speculation which have ed the depression," the speaker said. "Th East as well as the Middle- west is interested in agriculture. The West is interested because it is the bread basket and pork-barrel of the nation. The East is interested be- ranse it likes an abundant supply of bread and butter, ham and eggs, fried chicken, and porterhouse steaks. The Middlewest raises most or its STUDENT BODY FAVORABLE TO EXTRA HOLIDAY Campus Figures Interviewed Unanimous For A Two-Day Thanksgiving Holiday DEAN HEPPNER QUOTED Dean of Men and Chancellor On Student Side; Up To Senate Group Nebraska student and faculty members seem to favor the proposed plan that the Friday following Thanksgiving should be a holiday. The matter will be definitely decided when it goes before the Senate Com mittee Saturday. The general opinion is that the ad vantage of going home over the Thanksgiving holidays greatly out weighs the shortening of spring vaca tion one day. The argument used by those opposed to the idea is that the shortening of the school year one day would make the class schedules irregular, but as this can be made up, opinion is gradually turning in favor of the plan. If a football game were to be played here Thanksgiving Day, there would be many who would fav or, holding classes, but with the team on foreign soil, the student body can celebrate at home and still be behind the eleven. The plan is not new in university history. Formerly, both Thursday and Friday were holidays, but the ruling was made ta hold Friday classes in an effort to hold the stu dent body in Lincoln for the big foot ball game. In accepting the petition the University will simply be revert ing to an old custom which has been tried for several years, and which is used by nearly every university in the United" States. Several prominent university ' of ficials and students were asked to give their opinions of the matter. They voiced practically the same feeling as those interviewed before. . Glen Buck, president of the Stu dent Council, said: "The extra holi day at Thanksgiving would mean much to students living some dis tance from Lincoln as they would be able to spend the holiday at home. The Student Council appreciates the co-operation of the faculty and stu dent body in the movement for the holiday."- Dean Amanda Heppner, Dean of Women: "I think as other people do, it is a ver good thing. I see no ob jection to the plan to extend vaca tion at that time." Katherine McWhinnie, member of the Mortar Board: "If we had any game I would certainly want a holi day. Although we do not, it would be very nice for students out in the state, as they can spend an extra day at home." Professor Roy E. Cochran: "If the students want the holiday, let them ha'e it It was their fault that it was taken away, anyway. I am dead against having a holiday, a day of school and then two more holidays that is foolish." Doris Pinkerton, member of the Mortar Board: "I am in favor of the plan." Clark Smaha, captain-eloct of the basketball team: "I thing that every one would like to go home. It dos away with trying to skip classes." Elice Holovtchiner, sorority editor of the Cornhusker: "I think it would be fine, especially as there is no game here Thanksgiving. It would be foolish to hold classes. When spring vacation comes around, no one will notice the one day less." Coach Henry F. Schulte: "If it is possible for it to be arranged by the faculty, I am heartily in favor of the plan." Frank Hays, captain of the Cross country team: "I don't see any rea son why it couldn't be arranged to have Friday after Thanksgiving off. Most students want to go home and I think it would be beneficial." foods and buys many kinds of man ufactured goods ; the Eeast buys most of its food and manufactures many desirable goods. The agricultural Middlewest an i the industrial East are alike interested in exchanging products of which they produce a surplus for products of which not enough are produced at home. "The Middlewest as almost every one knows has been less prosperous since the end of the post-war boom than during the years just before the war. Various explanations have been given. Souio men have said that farm ers do not work hard enough and others argue that they work too Iiard. Many city men believe that farmers do not use good management, arid some farmers think that management which results in increased production (Continued on page S)
