DIHHER OPENS GRACE COPPOCK DRIVE TUESDAY Women Entertained By Nebraska Staff At 150 The i. w. . FOREIGN WORKER TALKS tthel Joy William., For Sev eral Year m China Attends Meeting More than one bundred and fifty onien sat down at the lone tables on the third floor of the city T. W. C. i for the dinner which officially girted the annual Grace Coppock memorial drive. Each team, composed of s captain and ten members sat in a group, and at this time the cap ping gave their final instructions; the team members received the actual material for the drive. You have sent funds and friends Md faith," declared Miss Ethel Joy ujaiiams who has spent several years tt Y. W. C. A. secretary in China and who spoke as a young Chinese prl might speak to her "sisters" in America. Miss Williams was dressed in Chinese costume. "We look to you in the United States as our older sis ters, not in years, but in opportun ity," she said. ! Grace Cop pock's Wcrk Known We have heard more about you Nebraska sisters because of Grace rmroock and because of Vera Bar- ger, and through her we know that von have faith. I want to tell you some of the things it means to us liv ing out there under the blue triangle for yon are all blue triangle sisters. "A new age is dawning in China. Chinese women are coming to the front and sisters are standing beside their brothers." Miss Williams told of how the Y. W. C A. in China is looking to Chinese leadership. Only one example of this fact is the fact that Miss Vera Barger, a Nebraska graduate and bead of all recreational work in China, has a Chinese girl practically trained to take her place. "They have insisted that funds com ing from this side be invested in people, not equipment. Whenever possible a Chinese person must do the job. Our place is to make ourselves dispensible." WUhelmina Schellak, chairman of the Grace Coppock committee, gave a short talk on the work of the drive. "We are here," she said, "because we believe in this work with all our hearts." Group singing was led by Louie Bauer and Miss Alta Halts and several songs in Chinese. Mitt Coppock a Nebraskan Grace Coppock was graduated from Nebraska in '05, and Trent to China with two other secretaries to do Y. W. C. A. work there. It is be cause of her work that the Chinese women have learned to play, have gained a better position socially than they previously held, and have had better working conditions than they (Continued on Pige Two.) DR. RICE TALKS TO VESPERS OH BIBLE Father of Nebraska Professor Say Ws Matt Renlizn far Whom BiM.

Dr. Eice who is the father of Prof. J. A. Eice of the University i the pastor of the Methodist church at Tulsa, Oklahoma. "To truly understand and compre hend the Bible we must study for what people it wai intended and what it was meant to convey. We must look at the Bible just as we do at other forms of literature and study it with the background in view. Take the Book of Job, for inrtanee, it seems a little odd and queer to us unless we visualize it with its proper setting." Dr. Eice told of a southern friend of his who said that most of us know the Bible and the hog knows its pas ture. The pig knows just where to find his corn and we know just where to find the particular verge of text for which we are looking. "I believe that we geft fron the "ible just what we are looking for," the speaker said.

Ineligibility In Way Team, Coach Bearg 1 ells Keporter "Ineligibility is playing havoc with the fine freshman prospects that we were figuring on for the 1927 Corn- husker grid team," was the statement Coach Earnest Bearg, Nebraska's football mentor gave to a sports re porter for the Daily Nebraskan to day. The Husker coach was very re luctant to give out such a statement, because Nebraska b always been noted for the high standard of schol arship it has maintained among its athletes., Nebraska athletes are known the world over for their prowess in the classroom and on the field. "But nevertheless we are going to have a hang-up fighting Cornhusker eleven on the gridiron when the students re turn to Nebraska this fall," said the Husker coach with a smile that be trayed his satisfaction of the. pro gress that his proteges were making during the spring practice. I Coach Bearg is very optimistic in regard to the football team that Ne braska will have on the field next autumn, and is bent on making it Nebraska's great year on the grid- ira. IEo greatest worry f to replace the stellar football men that will be lost to Nebraska with this spring's graduation. "Bobbie" Stephens, the Husker's triple-threat man on last year'r team will leave a vacant placs at the helm of the Husker team that will be hard to fill. He handled the punting and a new punter will have to be developed to fill the shoes of THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. STATE I' ;" . . : J v , f w , s . r 30, . , , i .

These three factors are being developed on the field during the spring workouts. "A great number of real good men were lost to us this year and now we have to develop jnen of equal caliber to take their places, said the Ne braska coach. "Lonnie" Stiner, cap tain of last year's team will graduate this year and leave a place as tackle in the forward wall open for aspir ants. Bearg is working on the punting end now and is putting Bronson, Presnell and Elkins through the in itial strides on booting the ball on quick punts. The place kickers to take Stephens' place are Sloan, McMuIlen, Howell and "Big" Richards. Every evening cn the field the candidates go through a long series of punting passing and kicking the ball through the cross-bars. The passing game is being devel oped luore than ever before and every practice session, the Nebraska coaching staff send the men through fifteen minutes of passing and re ceiving passex Nebraska has never been known to have a passing team, but instead a line-plowing, end-rnn-ning team, but next year, Bearg pur poses to slip a new cog into his Hus ker machine, when the above com bined with a fast passing team will (Continued on Page Three.) j TITLE CONTENDERS DR.

Modern Thinkers Beginning to Doubt Bible, Says Dr. "Not only students, but the entire thinking element of society is begin ning to doubt the former interpreta tion of the Bible," declared Dr. John Rice, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, visiting the university in the interest of reli gious work, undf the auspices of the Federation - -i Church Workers and university p.-istrs, whra inter viewed Tuesday afternoon; He is a large man, white-haired. with a firm hiv.d clasp and distin guished manner. Having been presi dent of Columbia College in South Carolina, for six years, and teacher in colleges and other schools for sev eral years, Dr. Rice is eminently fit ted to discuss the present needs and demands cf students as a thinking body independent of other people. "The modern pressure on the Bible is too great for the old approach," he said. "Students are thinking more and more abost it, and are demand ing an adequate interpretation rf it "TImb whole thing," fco ccntimi, "really narrows itself down to the method of approaching the Blble. This may be done in two waya first, finding out what It mrt to people when it was first written, and what it means to people today. To do Minor Senior Class Officers Are Chosen Minor, senior class officers were chosen at a class meeting called by Robert Stephens, president, in Social Science Auditorium at 1 o'clock yesterday. Gordon Lnikart, Omaha, was elected vice president, Fred Marquist, Avoca, secretary and Clarence Wright, North Platte, treasurer.

Gish stated. The referees for Thursday are the only ones definitely assigned. The uigh school coaches will have some selection for the following games. The meeting of all officials was held last night for final instructions. The tourney will offer an excellent opportunity for the high school stu dents to acquaint themselves with the University. AH classes and class rooms will be open to them. Definite plans have been made to help the visitors acquaint themselves with the University during their stay here. OUTLAW AWGWAll TO BE OH SALE FRIDAY New Edition, of Nebraska Hnanoron Publication Proniise Morn Original Material Several new features are to be included in the March issue, the "Outlaw Number" of the Awgwan, when it makes its appearance on the campus the last part 'of .this week. The new number will be ready for distribution Friday and can be se cured at all news stands and the Col lege Book Store. The editors are trying to give more tion and are striving to secure a more personal atmosphere. "Aunt Mamies Mail Box," Hoos Hoo on the Campus, new features in the last is sue will be continued and those in charge promise something new in the way of complimentary articles. "The Take-Off Number was a huge success," Jack Boyer, editor of the comic paper said today, "and the personal attitude seems to be taking with the students. Circulation of the magazine has increased twenty per cent and should continue with the re maining numbers." Allan Klein has cleverly drawn up the cover for this issue. Six covers were submitted, thereby speaking well for the one chosen. Fill Fent former Art Editor and who is at present stud; ing in a New York art school has sent in several drawings along with those by Bob Barr, Hugh Carlson, Torgny Knudson and Peter Coniglio. Rice, Visiting Here the first thing, one must go back and study the customs and conditions of those people, and find out what it did mean to them. The modern ap proach will be-to take every part of the Bible for just what it is spirit ually worth." Dr. Rice was very earnest in de claring that there would eventually come an interpretation which would satisfy the needs of people who re doubting it so much now. The old idea of the infallability of the ver bally dictated Bible is being openly doubted today, and some new, ade quate interpretation must be formed, i Regarding his talks to university students, he stated that he hoped to help them gain a cleaner ' apprecia tion of the Bible as a record of the experiences of God in human life, and instill in them a vital message for them and for those who come, after. He is the father qf J. A. Eice of the Claffa d"imvtnt, an! "will de liver various talks Wednesday anij Thursday.

SPONSORS TO BE HADED AT' RIFLE PARTY Plans Laid for First Spring Party ; to be Given By Military Group PLAN NOVEL DECORATION Scottish Rite Ball Room To Take On Appearance of Eastern Temple The selections of sponsors to mQi- tary organizations have been made ;by practically all unit commanders and they await their formal presen tation at the First Annual Spring Hop, a subscription dance by Per shing Rifles on Saturday night of this week. The list of sponsors is being completed in the offices of the mili tary department, and after the Spring Hop it will be taken to be featured in the society sections of the Lincoln Sunday newspapers. Any military officers eligible to choose sponsors for their organiza tions who have not entered the names in Nebraska Hall should do so im mediately. Sponsors Are CTioasn The selection and presentation of military sponsors in this manner is something new on the Nebraska cam pus, although it is quite an old cus tom in other schools. Being chosen to sponsor the work of from one hun dred to one hundred and fifty men should indicate no small step in the ladder of social success for a co-ed, and this is the first time that Ne braska's favored eighteen girls are to be given the proper recognition. A regimental sponsor, three battal ion sponsors, thirteen company spon sors, an3 a sponsor for the organiza tion of Pershing Rifle company con stitute the list of positions to be filled. With the Pershing Rifle Spring Hop but four days off, the plans of the committee are about perfected. Beck's Orchestra has plans for open ing their own series of many engage ments with something new and dif ferent for the dancers of the evening. The ball room of the Scottish Rite Temple will take on the appearance of the palace of an oriental ruler, with a canopy and large clusters of highly colored flowers in baskets and vases of true eastern style. Punch will be served to refresh the dancers in their merriment. Tickets for the Spring Hop may be obtained from any members of Per shing Rifles or in the Military De partment's offices in Nebraska HalL In case any tickets remain on the n'ight of the party, they will be avail able at the doors. The price of ad mission is only one dollar and fifty cents, made possible by the large membership of the sponsoring organ ization. The change in appearance, from formal to spring-like and informal will mean much in the eyes of many who are tiring of the tuxedo and the gown. NATIONAL WORKER INTERVIEWS GIRLS Miss Alien Reynolds, Y. W. C A. Staff Member, Spends Tins on Thn Nebraska Campus Miss Alice Reynolds, of the na tional staff of the Y. W. C. A has been interviewing the university girls who are interested in the Y. W. C A. for the last two days at Ellen Smith HalL About sixteen girls had interviews with Miss Reynolds while she was here. All of these girls were inter ested in some phase of the T. W. C. A. work such as the position of an Industrial Secretary, a Business G'rl's Secretary, a Girl Reserve Sec retary. No one inquired about the work of the Girl's Gymnas retary or the Cafeteria Secretary. This was quite surprising because this is a position that usually inter ests many. The girls who desired to take this up as a profession and who can qual ify will be selected by the Y. W. C. A. for the profession of secretaryship and will study in New York. Miss Reynolds also aa vised the" girls as to the subjects they should pursue to qualify for this type of work. She recommended sociology, adolescent psychology, educational philosophy and economics.
