NEW CORNHUSKERS
"I recognize the debt I owe to parents,
friends, school, and state for the sacrifice
made, encouragement offered, and the Educa
tion and character possessed which qualify
me to enter the University of Nebraska." Thus
starts the Cornhusker Oath, which every fresh
man man and woman in the University should
take this morning as part of the traditional
Freshman Initiation in the Coliseum.
In two short hours, between 10 o'clock and noon,
newest members of the University of Nebraska
"nut on the right track." Until now, most of the
freshmen of this institution have been merely going
to school. They have probably heard faint rumblings
about Nebraska traditions, the Cornhusker Oath, and
the many obligations a loyal Nebraskan must under
take. At this meeting all of these very necessary factors
in a freshman's life are presented in clear-cut relief
by the most able members of the faculty and student
body.
Acting Chancellor Burnett will welcome the new
students for the first time in person- They may
who is at the head of this great and ratheT intricate
University of cant. Other important inensbtrs of the
faculty and student body will explain the scholastic
and moral obligations which the students owe to this
school, to keep up its reputation and that of its mem
bers. Football will be explained and the coaching staff
heard from. Gradually the most important phases of
University life will be untangled and explained for
the benefit of the new students. Finally after a real
plain-words talk on traditions, our old friend, Dr.
Condra, will administer the Cornhusker Oath to every
student.
If freshmen could only realize the meagerness of
this description of what really takes place at the an
nual Freshman Initiation, there would not be one ab
sence due to lack of interest.
Freshmen come to the initiation each year, only
half interested in what is. to follow, attending largely
because their classes are excused- They may figure
that the Chancellor would not dismiss 10 and 11 o'clock
classes, perhaps the busiest of the day, if it were not
a worthwhile cause.
A sudden change appears on the faces of new
students when they begin to learn interesting facts
about their school. The affair is not one for entertain
ment, however, for every freshman leaves the Coliseum
realizing that he is a part of this University and there
by reflects credit or discredit upon it. Patriotism is
stirred, and real ambition put into the minds of many
freshmen who, heretofore, were wondering "what it
was all about."
window. This statement was made by the Chief of
Policn,
Some students, howeveT, still have stickers on their
windshields. Perhaps they have not read the Nebraskan.
Perhaps they have no regard for city ordinances. In
either case they are eligible to be fined. Disregarding
the law is not profitable nor is ignorance of the law
any excuse.
This law, which is. in effect not only in Lincoln,
but in many other cities, was passed mainly to prevent
outsiders from putting stickers on cars when the own
ers are absent It is an aggravating practice, for who
wants his windshield cluttered up to the extent that it
obscures his vision? One sticker on the corner of the
windshield will do no harm, but the placing of one
leads to many others.
Tags, attached with a cord, will serve the purpose
admirably. They may be easily removed and they do
not hinder the vision. When used in connection with a
football game, they will stir up just as much enthus
iasm as will the sticker type. And they are within the
law.
Notices
A former editor of The Daily Nebraskan, Hugh
Cox, called at the office yesterday. He was interested
in the changes made in the paper, for better or worse.
"Would you care to write an editorial?" he was
asked.
"Write an editorial!" he exclaimed. "I forgot how
when I left University."
Such is the fate of college editors who wax elo
quent while in office, that they never care to express
their opinions on paper again.
HOW TO SELL BOOKS
An attack upon Sinclair Lewis because of his
"shady" fiction was printed yesterday in an Omaha
paper. Although the account digs at the well known
authqp-, it is only throwing more money into his pocket.
Judge for yourself if the sale of this book will not be
greatly increased, probably among many classes of
college students, when the following newspaper clip
ping is read:
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 21 "Elmer Gantry" is a
"filthy caricature" and Sinclair Lewis who wrote it is
a "moron," in the opinion of Bishop Charles Edward
Locke of St. Paul, Minn., who came to Omaha Monday
to preside at the Nebraska Methodist conference.
"Lewis must be a moron," the bishop declared.
"Think of the mind that could conceive of such a foul
thing." Of course the public likes a certain amount of
slime but Lewis' book is so overdrawn that he has de
feated himself.
"I have a church in my area in Lewis' home, Sauk
Center. His father is a very fine gentleman but his
son is no credit to him."

The Twelve-Fifteen Rule y
To the Editor:
One can imagine poor Diogenes going about with
his lantern searching in vain for University of Ne
braska boys and girls out on a date after fifteen min
utes past twelve, since the passage of the rule requir
ing girls to be within doors after twelve-fifteen. What
a relief for poor Diogenes. And what a relief for the
poor fellows who may thus escape the expenditure
necessary for an ice cream sundae, or whatever suits
the caprice of the fair one. And, since we are beine
relieved, perhaps we should include a hint that the
co-ed may be glad to escape to the shelter of her sor-
ority house, or dormitory, a full fifteen minutes earlier
than was formerly the case. i
What reasons are there, really, for staying out?
so late? Everything that is possible to be done may
easily be done in fifteen minutes less time and what
excellent practice in meeting the real problem of life, 1
(namely haste) such an exertion would entail. There
is no possibility of developing ennui in the short hour
and a quarter after the eleven o'clock show is out, as!
was possible under the ancient system. We figure that
exactly one hour and one quarter is neccessary to get
something to eat, and spread the more or less requisite !
The edict is good, undoubtedly, we say so. A 'I
. x umc, aim a ureaier amount oi en-if
icnammeni is our motto. Don Juan needed only one!

Hailstorms are Worst Enemies That
Geologists Meet in the "Bad Lands"
Hailstorms are the greatest fear
of the men who go into the "Bad
Lands" each summer with the Mor
rill Geological Expeditions accord
ing to Dr. Barbour of the Geology
department.
The Morrill Geological Expeditions
have been going into the field annu
ally since 1892 with parties ranging
from two to ten men each. Geology
students are employed on these trips
and are thus provided with a health
ful vacation in the open as well as
a profitable one in experience and
money.
These field trips last during the
summer months and the time is spent
in seeking the valuable fossils prev
alent in the "Bad Lands". There is
very little idle time in camp and
Vrry utile time is spent around the
camp-fire. The spirit of the expe
dition takes such a firm hold on the
members that all of the time is spent
in searching for teeth, jaws, skulls,
etc., of the varions fossil animals
common to the "Bad Lands".
Once in a while young Indian boys
will ccme into camp to mingle with
11 e boys at which times sports will
b engaged in. These Indian boy:,

The rainfall in the "Bad Lands" is

ir nevertheless dangerous. The

r-'p equipment into higher
ground on very short notice. Walls
of water from five to ten feet high
often rush down the valleys during
one of these storms.
Rainstorms, however, are not near
ly as dangerous as the terrific hail
storms which sweep the region. Hail
stones as large as four inches in di
ameter pound the earth and kill an
imals, birds, and sometimes men. The
members of the expeditions protect
tuemselves in such cases by holding
their saddles over their heads. A
length of new stove-pipe with clean
cut holes battered through it served
as a mute testimony to the fury of
one such storm. These storms are
not entirely without value, though,
because the chunks of ice are used
for mrdng ice-cream which is a
great treat after five or six weeks
in camp.

there are a large number of positions
to be filled and the Council urges
anyone interested in this type of
work to file.
The Varsity Party committee will

Varsity Dances are the outgrowth
