FINE ARTS BAND
TO APPEAR SOON
Recently Organized Musical
Group Will Play at
Next .Convocation
The new fine arts band will make
its first public appearance before the
student body at the next convocation
Thursday morning, November 4. The
band, which has been organized since
the first of this year, now has a mem
bership of forty, and according to
Prof. William T. Quick, who directs
the band, it is making splendid pro
gress. -
The fine arts band has been a much
needed organization, especially in the
past few years, because so many stu
dents have been coming into the uni
versity and the R. O. T. C. band and
the University concert orchestra
could not take care of them all. As
both men and women are 'eligible to
tbe fine arts band, these surplus stu
dents who play musical instruments
can be taken care of very nicely.
"With the present outlook I be
lieve the fine arts band will become
one of the big organizations of the
nne arts department," said Prof.
Quick, who created the organization.
ihis new band will in no war in
terfere with the functioning of the
E. 0. T. C. band or the university
concert orchestra, but will have work
- of its own to carry out. The personnel
of the band and the program for the
convocation will appear in an early
issue.

Thirty-five women, almost all the
women" registered in the School of
Journalism, attended the dinner giv
en by Theta Sigma Phi at Ellen
Smith Hall yesterday evening. The
sorority colors, lavender and green,
were used in the table decorations.
That the best opportunities for
women in the field of journalism are
to be found either in the specialized
field, chiefly in the very large cities,
or in towns of less than 25,000 popu
lation, was the message brought to
the women by Prof. James E. Law
rence, the principal speaker, whose
topic was "Women in Journalism."
Prof. Lawrence warned the women
that work on newspapers in cities
with population of between 25,000
and 125,000 was extremely grueling
and involved too much responsibility
for women. A constant strain and
high tension characterize the work
on newspapers in cities of this size,
where the field is large and yet not
large enough for specialization.
A particular phase of the work
now open to women and needed is
that of interpreting politics for the
women voters, according to the
speaker.
Women Open Minded
If women bring to the field of
journalism those qualities which they
possess to a larger degree than men,
namely opeiMnindedness, fairness,
and tolerance, they will do a great
service to the profession, Professor
Lawrence asserted. He stated that he
believes the women will make this
contribution.
The speaker recalled several rem
iniscences connected with Nebraska
journalism. Mrs. Walt Mason, wife
of the famous poet and humorist,
was among the first women active in
journalism in this state. Her sketch
of southern Nebraska is a work of
which we are justly proud. Mrs.
Harriet McMurphy was another of
the early Nebraska women journa
lists.
To remark about the many ac
complishments of women in the
journalistic field, Professor Lawrence
added the statement that he could
not but regret the tendency of the
time which is taking the woman away
from that vital institution, the home.
Gayle C. Walker, acting director
of the school, discussed the threefold
aim of the School of Journalism. It
offers, of course, direct, practical
training for the field. Secondly, stu
dents are required to take courses in
philosophy, history, languages, and
the like, in order to get the necessary
cultural foundation. Even if one
does not, then, for some reason en
ter the profession, he still has a cul
tural education. The third purpose
of the department is to develop the
student, among other qualities, tho'-e
of toleration and loyalty loyalty to

NEBRASKA SHIFT
WORRIES AGGIES
Iowa Cyclones Perfecting De
fense for Saturday Game;
Lineup Unchanged
Ames, Iowa, Oct. 28: (Special)
No changes in the Iowa State lineup
for the renewal of the football fued
at Lincoln Saturday will likely be
made, with the exception that Smith
will go in at tackle. Coach Noel
Workman is drilling the Cyclones
against the intricacies of the Nebras
ka shift, and is trying to develop a
stone wall line to stop the Presnell,
Oehlrich; Stephens and Mielenz, hard
driving Husker backfield. combination
Lindbloom, Cyclone right half who
took tome bumps on his injured leg
in Tuesday's practice is coming along
nicely, and the leg is expected to be
fully healed for the Husker grid
Classic.
Holman Is at Half
Coach Workman continues to use
Holman at right half, however, the
veteran Fisher at left half, Weiss at
quarter and Lamson at fullback, and
this combination will start against
Nebraska Saturday.
Smith, Iowa State tackle who
broke his hand in the Grinnell game,
still has the injured member in a
cast, but does not seem to be ham
pered by it in scrimmage sessions.
Wednesday's heavy scrimmage game
with Coach Wheeler's green jerseyed
freshmen concluded the heavy work
of preparation for the Bearg men.
The Cyclone mentor has set ano
ther precedent by deciding not to
take his team to Lincoln a day'early,
but rather getting them there on the
morning of the game. The team, the
100 piece Iowa State band, and the
Iowa State football fans will all
leave Ames shortly after midnight
Friday on a special train, arriving in
the Nebraska capital at 7 o'clock Sat
urday morning.
Interest Is Shown In
Model Campus Display
Considerable interest in the
model of the University's future
campus is being shown by the pub
lic according to Mr. L. F. Seaton,
who has charge of the model in
the Administration building. This
remarkable project has been
viewed by several conventions and
clubs and has excited much fav
orable' comment. Articles about it
have appeared in several paper?
in the state. As it is a vision of
the future, the value of this out
line of growth will increase as the
school develops and grows.

Purchase Block of Seats for
Navy Band Entertainment
Three fraternities and one sorority
have purchased blocks of seats for

iseum, November 6, by the United
States Navy Band.
The organizations which already

the concert are:
Acacia.
Alpha Delta Theta.
Delta Sigma Delta.
Theta Chi.
Tickets for the concert are being
sold to university students by the
Tassels and the Pershing Rifles, as
well as by the members of the above
four organizations.
Boxes have been given to Governor
McMullen, Chancellor Avery, and
Mayor Zehrung, for the concert.
Half-rate tickets have been placed
on sale at the Lincoln High School.
The students there may secure tick
ets for the concert for 60 cents each.
Bizad Banquet-Dance
Tickets Selling Fast
Tickets for the Bizad Banquet-
Frolic are selling at a good rate, ac
cording to Henry Lucas and Ella
Thompson, joint chairmen. The an
nual banquet and dance promise to
be a complete success. It is estimated
that 300 will be present at the ban
quet and that 250 couples will at
tend the dance which will follow.
The dance is open to all friends of
Bizads.
All of the Bizads are urged to buy
their tickets before Tuesday night,
in order that there may be a definite
check for the banquet.
The "N" club is sponsoring a move
ment for the reinstatement of base
ball as a major sport in the Univer
sity's athletic program. If base ball
takes its former position here among
college sports, it will be due to the
action taken by the students.
There were several reasons why
base ball was abolished a little over
a year ago, one was because of the
lack of interest in the game ; another
was due to the expense of the new
field house, causing a shortage of
funds for the support of the game.
At that time there was not a satis
factory place to play, and there was
no coach. Other schools in the Mis
sour Valley conference abolished the
game and this made it hard for Ne
braska to arrange its schedule.
Petition Drawn Up
The following is a copy of the
petition that will be circulated to find
out just what the attitude of the stu
dent body is concerning the ques
tion: v
"Petition to Reinstate Baseball"
"The signers of this petition, stu
dents of the University of Nebraska,
interested in all forms of athletics,
do hereby suggest to the Athletic
Board of the University that base
ball, which has been a major sport
at the University for many years, be
restored to its place among the com'
petitive sports.
"We feel that this major sport will
attract enough of the students to jus
tify its replacement and that the
increased interest aroused by varsity
competition in this branch of sport
will increase the interest of the st
dent body to such an extent that it
will prove a material aid to the de
velopment of the intramural athletic
program."
We pledge our support and co
operation to furthering baseball at
Nebraska."
There are many reasons why base
ball should be restored to its former
place. The Alumni are continually
writing and asking why we do not
have a baseball team. Baseball is a
national sport and creates a greater
interest in a larger amount of people
than any other one sport; it would
be an added inducement for students
who play baseball to come to school
here. The field house is now com
pleted and there should be enough
profit from the basket ball games to
support it if necessary.
Athletic Director N. T. Metcalfe
of Iowa State will be introduced to
the students and will give a talk. The
other speakers will be Captain Lonnie
Stiner of the 1926 Cornhuskers, Rol
and "Gipp" Locke, former Nebraska
football player and famous sprinter,
and Sam Waugh, "N" man and Ne
braska basketball coach.
Quartet Will Appear
The University quartet will make
its first appearance and will sing two
songs.
The game Saturday means the re
newal of football relations with
Ames. The last game was played in
1946. Coach Noel Workman's eleven
is handicapped by less experience
feeb that a turn in luck will result
from this season's encounter. Ne
braska holds a record of winning two
thirds of the games played between
the two schools.
Nick Amos and the cheer leading
staff will direct the enthusiasm. Amos
promises that there will be something
new for the rooters which he will an
nounce at the rally. The University
band is expected to aid the cheer
leaders and to swell the volume of
yells and songs.
Civic Club Visits
Ag College Campus
The annual visit of the Lincoln
Junior Civic Club to the Agricultural
College was made yesterday morn

Exhibition Program
McMullen Is Back

Dan McMullen, guard, who has been out of the last two games on
account of injuries, will be seen in action against Ames Saturday.
Exhibition track events and the
finish of the cross-country meet be
tween Nebraska and Drake will fea
ture the between halves program at
the Nebraska-Iowa State football
game Saturday in the stadium.
Coach Schulte will present an un
usual number of record breakers in
the track events in Martin of North
western, Locke, Hein, and Wirsig.
Roland Locke and Bill Hein will
run an exhibition 100 yard dash.
They are in much better shape than
when they ran an exhibition 100 be
tween halves of the Nebraska-Mis
souri game. Frank Wirsig, holder
of the Missouri Valley record in the
pole vault, will vault between halves.
Wirsig has only been out a short time
but has been making some good
marks for early season work.
Martin Record Holder
Rev. A. O. Martin, Northwestern
graduate, now minister at Otoe, will
run an exhibition half mile between
halves. Martin won both the Nation
al Collegiate championship and the
American Amateur Athletic associa
tion championship in the half mile
last spring. He has come close to re
cord time on several occasions. Wed
nesday afternoon, in a practice work
out on the stadium track, he stepped
a 660 in the fast time of 1 minute
22 seconds. He ran the first 440 of
this in 61 seconds.
Some varsity half mile candidates
will run against him with handicaps.
Lemly was expected to run against
him but was sick Thursday and may
not be able to make the race. Sneath
en, promising freshman, who had
been picked as one of Martin's pac
ers, suffered a nervous breakdown
over a week ago and was sent to the
hospital.
The cross-country team finished
off with a light workout Thursday
night in preparation for the Drake
meet. The Huskers will probably
be, represented by Captain Hays,
Chadderdon, Reller, Sprague, Mc
Cartney and Diedrichs. Johnson
will replace Diedrichs in case his
ineligibility is removed.
Drake will be represented by Man
chester, Wright, Beale, Sweeney,
Lockhart, Hixon and EarL Drake
was defeated by both Iowa State
and Missouri in a triangular meet
last week but it is thought that they
will put up a close fgiht against the
Nebraskans Saturday.
Dean Chatbnrn'a Condition Improved
Dean George Chatburn, who was
very ill iuring the fore-part of last
week, is improving rapidly but will
not be able to resume his duties be
fore the first of next week.
