The University Extension was a 0pel development of the Univer ,ity of Nebraska ideal of a truly state Jversity. The University radio ser vice ii distinct addition to Univer- .orvice and a substantial touting factor to the University s .ttempts to reach all the people of the state. Although one of the most recent developments in the service . of the University, week by ,v it furnishes information and en terUinment to vast numbers through ont the state. The radio service is made possible largely through cooperation with KFAB, the Ncbraska-Buick broad casting station. A University studio is maintained on the second floor of the administration building from which the University programs are broadcast by remote control from KTAR. The operation of the studio is under the control of the operating snperintendent. Making use of KFAB is a tremendous help to the Univer sity. It puts at the service of the Uni versity a complete broadcasting equipment which is superior to that of practically any University broad casting station in the country. It would cost the University in the neighborhood of $25,000 to get such equipment as is now being used through the courtesy of KFAB. Three Departments Prepare Program The radio programs are prepared from three sources, the University Extension Division, the College of Agriculture and the School of Fine Arts. A good idea of the type and quantity of service given the state through the radio service can be ob tained by following through the typ ical week's program as it is being offered this semester. Weather reports by Professor T. A. Blair, director of the Nebraska section of the United States Weather Bureau, are given at 9:30 daily. Uni versity news is also broadcast at this time. Programs arranged by the Col lege of Agriculture are broadcast from 10:30 to 11:00 A. M., four days a week. Those cover talks on foods, nutrition, various minor suggestions on agricultural problems, and care fully prepared papers on important phases of Nebraska farm develop ment and farm life. Agricultural pro grams are also presented Monday and Wednesday nights treating eco nomic and experimental agricultural problems. These are half hour pro grams starting at eight o'clock.

Raymond will Direct Traditional Program For Thirty-first Time CHORUS GIVES ORATORIO For the thirty-first consecutive year, Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond will direct the presentation of Handel's "Messiah" by the University chorus when the oratorio is given Wednes day morning at 10 o'clock in the Uni versity Armory. More than three hundred university students are in cluded in the chorus to be heard at the program. In 1895, Mrs. Raymond first direc ted the presentation of Handel's "Messiah" by the University of Ne braska Chorus. Every year since that time she has directed the oratorio, which now is a traditional part of the last week of school preceding the Christmas holidays. Soloists for this year's "Messiah" will be Harriet Cruise Kemmer, so prano; Sylvia Cole, contralto; Ed ward Ellingson, tenor, and Hermann Decker, bass. String Orchestra Will Play Music for the program will be fur nished by the following well-known Lincoln musicians, assisted by the University String Orchestra: Jean L. Schaefer, first violin; Ernest Har rison, second violin, William T. Quick, viola; Lillian Eiche, violin cello; Mark Pierce, contrabasso; Don Berry, trumpet; Fleda Graham, piano, and Edith Burlingim Ross, organ. For the first time, the University will broadcast the presentation of the "Messiah" this year. The university studio will radio the oratorio by re mote control through KFAB (340.7), Wednesday, thus making it possible for persons in no way connected with the University to hear it. The annual presentation of the "Messiah" is re garded as one of the finest traditions in the University of Nebraska, and each year thousands of students at tend the program. Christmas Service is Planned for Vespers A Yule-tide spirit will prevail at the annual Christmas Vespers Tuesday at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall. Ruth Ann Coddington, head of the Vesper choir, will take charge of the music which will probably consist of Christmas car ols sung by the choir. Ray Ramsey, of the dramatic department will give a Christmas reading. The entire meeting will be in charge of Mabel Ludlun. This service will be the last of this year's vespers and is intended to give the true Christmas spirit to the girls before they scatter for the holidays. "Free Speech In Universities" is Discussed by Jenks of New York U. Prof. Jeremiah Jenks, Tirnfsnr of eovernment research at New York University, a distinguished pro fessor of economics, who is serving on several international committees, re cently delivered an address on "Free Speech in Universities" before the Cornell University Alumni corpora tion convention at Philadelphia. Pro fessor Jenks delivered a commence ment address at the University of xTv..i-a fwpntr vears aero. ilCUIOOaa v j - M His conclusion on "Free Speech reads: "The chief trouble ordinarily . that persons tell the truth at the wrong time to the wrong people and in a tactless way, showing not proper self-restraint but lack of good sense and good judgment. Persons who tell the truth in this way may wisely be removed from the university, not lor incompetency in their special subject, but from lack of good judgment to such a degree that young people ought not to be subjected to their in n tv. .fcief essential ol we ii ueiJic , good teacher is personality, and line life blood of this personality must De freedom, with no restraints save those that are wisely self-imposed.

An employee who should express opinions regarding the it of his employer, for example, would properly be dismissed immed iately. "A lawyer must represent not mere ly the interests of his clients, but the views that his clients think are his interests.

The special purpose of the university is to investigate what is true in any special field; not to teach the truth as the teacher sees it, certainly not as the Board of Trustees sees it, but rather t-pen-mindedly to investigate what tne truth is. It is a special gift cf a great teacher to open the mind of the pu pil, to give to him independence of (Continued on rs Special Holiday Rates Offered by Burlington The Burlington railroad an nounced Saturday that special holiday rates of une and a half fares will be granted during Christmas vacation.

He docs not expect many students within Nebraska to stay the two days to take advantage of the rates. JOHNSON HEADS 1927 HARRIERS Trackman, Leading Huskers In Valley Meet, is Chosen Captain Glen Johnson, who led the Husker cross-country men to the tape in the Missouri Valley cross-country meet this fall, has been elected captain of the 1927 cross-country team ac cording to an announcement made from the athletic director's office Saturday.

Daily Nebraskan Inquiring Reporter Every day he asks a question of different students picked at random on the campus. Today's question: Would you be ia favor of reviving the custom of class gifts at graduation? Asked at different places on the campus. August Holmquist, Bizad, '27, Oak land. "Yes, I would be in favor of this custom, because when you are an alumnus and come back to school, you will see your contribution to the school, and it will make you feel more like you had an interest in the school and its activities." Bion Hoffman, T. C "28, Ashland. "I don't believe I would be in fa vor of this; it seems to me that it is more or less of an old fashioned idea and should not be revived." Jessie Lewis, T. C, '27, Beaver City. "Reviving such a custom would be a very good plan; there are plenty of things that the school needs so it would make the matter of selection a comparatively easy one. This would be a good way to have the class re membered, as the classes coming later would see their gift and be constantly reminded of them." Donald Russel, Law, '29, North Platte. "I wouldn't be in. favor of it. The giving of presents by the graduating class seems to me to be an incident of the 'rah, rah' days, which we hope have passed into oblivion." Robert Mathews, A. S., '28, Lincoln. "Yes. I would like to see the cus tom revived; you might want to come hark to the school some day and you would feel more at home if you could see something that -you had contn Kutd in make the school a better one."

Camp was appointed associate pro fessor of mathematics beginning September 1, 1927. Resolution is Passed The following resolution was un animously approved: "The Board of Regents has devot ed a great deal of time during the past two years to a careful study of future campus extention and univer sity development generally. A plan for such development to cover a long period of years has been worked out and given publicity, and has met ap parently with considerable favorable comment This Board is vitally in terested in doing anything possible to bring about this university devel opment and in opposing those things which in its opinion may retard or hamper a program of university growth. Fourteenth Future Campus Center "It is the opinion of this Board that Fourteenth Street from R Street north to the railroad tracks, in the city of Lincoln, will in a few years be in the heart of the downtown university campus. It is appreciated that this street cannot be entirely closed, but it is believed that this street should not be made a highway or a busy thoroughfare; that at tempts should be made to direct traf fic around rather than through the university campus; that any future development of North Fourteenth Street by the city of Lincoln and the state of Nebraska should contem plate the parking of Fourteenth Street from R north to the railroad tracks to thereby not only direct traffic around the campus rather than through it for reasons of safety. But also to thereby assist in beauti fying the campus. Many persons de- (Continued on Page Two.) WOMEN PLAN FOR "FOLLIES" Entertainment Sponsored by A. W. S.
