Nebraska Professor Tells Of
Benefits Derived From
Such Organizations
ADVOCATED DORMITORIES
Explains Working of This Sya
tern At Northwestern And
Other Eastern Schools
Stressing the benefits derived by
the individual from fraternities and
sororities, J. M. Rosborougb, profes
sor in the University School of Music
and formerly a member of Beta
Theta Pi at Northwestern University,
advocated the development of a dor
mitory system which would give all
students the advantages now offered
by fraternities, in his address before
the World Forum at the Grand Hotel
Wednesday noon.
Mr. Rosborougb. discussed frater
nities and sororities from his own
personal standpoint, pointing out ad
vantages he felt had been derived
from membership. "The only thing I
have against them," he declared, "is
the fact that all students are not in
fraternities."
"We must study how we can get
all in or give them a similar life. I
think every University will eventually
have a system of dormitories which
will give all students the opportuni
now offered by fraternities." He
then pointed an example of a step
in this direction taken at rvorxnwesi
rn. There fraternity houses and dor
mitories are alternated down the
street. Fraternity and non-fraternity
men associate without distinction. Mr.
Rosborough stated that this seemed
an ideal plan.
For Fraternities
"I am enthusiastic for fraternities
nr for anything else that will bring
to a boy what I got out of my frater
nity," Mr. Rosborough asserted. Mr
Rnsboroueh then pointed out the ad
vantages due to the necessity of ad
apting one's desire bo as to be able
to live in intimate contact with others
and the advantages of contact with
the University and with other stu
dents after graduation.
He also called attention" to the
statements of deans of several uni
versities that fraternities were an in
valuable aid in working with the stu
dents, that they would be unable to
accomplish any general improvement
if they had to work through Individ
nals entirely.
"The average fraternity has had a
hard time finding itself." he declared.
"I believe the time will come when
we can get a democratic spirit be
tween the fraternity and the non
fraternity man. Meanwhile, it is bet
ter to make use of the good features
of the fraternity system than to up
root them.
Dormitories Offer Opportunity
"The hard feeling against frater
nities is the fault of the fraternities
themselves. They shouldn't allow it
to exist. A dormitory system where
the students would enjoy the same
sort of life would help remove this
feeling. We say that everything era
anates from the home. The fraternity
or dormitory offers the best oppor
tunity for a home for students at the
University."

Dr, Hendricks Addresses
Lincoln High Students
The history of man's use of
mortar and cement from the days
of the cave dwellers to the present
and the chemistry of these sub
stances were explained by Dr. B.
Clifford Hendricks, associate pro
fessor of chemistry in the Univer
ty. in an address before the Lin
coln high school chemistry club
Wednesday afternoon on "Man
Made Stones."
Mortar hardens because of the
chemical reaction of the carbon
dioxide of the sir with the lime in
the mortar. Dr. Hendricks ex
plained. Plaster and other sub
stances which contain gypsum har
den because of the chemical effect
of the water which is added. In
both cases the final product is sira
Uar to natural limestone.
Dr. Hendricks illustrated his.
lecture with a number of experiments.
Prof, Bradford Discusses Service of
Ag College to State in Radio Speech
What the Agricultural College
really means to the state in terms of
service was explained by Professor
H. E. Bradford, Professor of Voca
tion Education, in his radio speech
given over KFAB, Wednesday, No
vember 10, as a part of the Univer
sity Extension departments program.
His subject "How the Agricultural
College Serves the State" proved to
be one of the most interesting
peeches to the invisible hearers of
the state.
Professor Bradford first mentioned-
the fact that the Agricultural college
was the Agricultural college and not
the "state farm" as it was formerly
called and is still called-by some. He
continued by stating "You will agree
with me, I believe, that every educa
tional institution ought to give value
received to the state which supports
Of course, we cannot measure
that value in money but we can esti
mate pretty accurately in terms of
satisfaction. In the case of the Agri
cultural College we can even point
out the money returns which the col
lege has produced."
Professor Bradford stated that

HUSKER GUESTS
Invitation to Attend Military
Carnival Extended To All
Kansas Followers
Nebraska hospitality is to be stress
ed this week-end -more than any
other this shcool year. The , local
chapter of Scabbard and Blade, in
keeping with this spirit, wired the
Scabbard and Blade chapter of the
Kansas Agricultural college at Man
hattan an invitation to the Military
Carnival dance which is to be held
Saturday evening at the university
coliseum.
The Kaeeie chapter of Scabbard
and Blade is not planning on attend
ing the game in a body but there
will be various members who will
come to the game that will find them
selves at loss for a form of enter
tainment in the evening. To help
entertain these strangers, the Mili
tary DeDartment is - sacrificing
through the Military Carnival dance
committee, the gate receipts of those
members who will attend this party.
The Carnival is not held as a bene
fit nor to make money for any or
ganization. The gate receipts will
do no more than cover the expenses
so elaborately have the plans been
made to entertain the returned
alumni and visiting students. The
co-oneration of the entire school has
been assured through the various or
ganizations and it is only by these
means that the carnival can be given
at the prices that it is.
The iruests from Kansas were as
sured that stags were welcome as the
Tassels are to act as bar maids and
will be elad to dance with the visit
ors. No one need feel that he cannot
attend because he will have to go
unaccompanied. Entertainment is
being provided for those who do not
dance in order that all classes be
well taken care of during the eve
ning. There will be a great number of
visitors from Manhattan in the city
that evenin that will not know
where to go for amusement. The
party will be very informal although
in no sense a mixer and all dances
will be cut-ins after the first encore.
Plans have been made to accomo
date the largest number of couples
that have attended a university party
this year and all can be assured that
facilities will provide them with
every form of entertainment avail-

NOVEMBER 20
Freshmen-Sophomore Struggle
Morning of New York
University Game
The annual Olympics contest will
take place a week from this Satur
day, the morning of the New York
game, November 20, instead of this
coming Saturday, as was mentioned
in a Daily Nebraskan feature story
yesterday.
Tryouts for the boxing, wrestling
and track events must be called for
by the presidents of the sophomore
and freshman classes. Representa
tives in these events will be sub
mitted to the Olympics committee
not later than Thursday, November
18.
There will be three classes in box
ing and wrestling,- 135, 145 and 158
pounds. The track event will be a
440 yard relay, with two teams of
four men competing. Thqffrest of the
events' this year will be much the
same as last fall, with the exception I
of the shoe-race, which has been
abolished. The Committee is plan
ning other events to take the place
of the shoe-race, which will be an
nounced in a few days.
I The Olympic committee is doing
everything possible this year to make
the sides more even. Although there
are some events in which the entire
classes will participate, other con
tests will give the Sophomores a
chance to gain points without the
large numbers that the Freshmen
will have.
The Innocents and the Junior and
Senior members of the "N" club com
pose the committee which will have
charge of the annual tilt in which the
Freshmen battle to doff the Green
Caps.
Daily Nebraskan
Inquiring Reporter
Every day he asks a question of
different students picked at random
on the campus.
Today's Question: Do yon think that
a rally before a football game helps
school spirit?
Asked at various places on the
campus.
Roland A. Locke, Law, '27, North
Platte.
"This is the season of the year
when a university's prestige is meas
ured by the record of its football
team. Student spirit is the firm foun
dation upon which we build a football
team with an enviable record. Each
rally places an additional support in
our foundation so that a triumphant
team and a spirited student body fu!
fill their obligations to each other as
well as to the school which makes
possible their existence."
Ray Sabata, A. S., '30, Dwight.
"A rally before a football game
certainly does improve school spirit
and there ought to be more present
at the rallies."
Vinton Lawson, A. S., '28, Omaha.
"A rally before a game has a big
psychological effect on the student
body and raises the morale of the
team."
Donald Kelley, A. S., '29, Cook.
"If a rally fails to arouse school
spirit there is something lacking in
the student body."
Dorothy Craig, A. S. '30, Lincoln.
"Why sure, I think a rally helps
school spirit; I like to go tJ rallies
because they pep you up."
D. E. Rissler, A. S., '29, Croftca.
"I believe a rally does arouse the
spirit of the student body, and it letr
every one know that there is a game
to be played.
r
Julia Rider, A. S., '29, Lincoln.
"A rally is the only way you can
arouse school spirit at Nebraska."
Mildred Johnson, T. C, '30, Candy.
"Every rally helps the school spirit
and causes larger crowds- to attend
the games."
Students Incapable
Professors at Ohio University
maintain that one-third the students
of that institution are incapable of
doing the required work.
