ALL-UNIVERSITY
CHURCH DAY TO
BE THISSUNDAY
University Sends Out Postal
Cards Urging Students
To Attend
DAY HELD LATER IN PAST
Change Date in Attempt to
Start Church-going Habit
Early in Semester
Sunday, October 2, is set aside in
the University of Nebraska calendar
as All-University Church day. Ac
cording to word received from Fred
erick W. Leavitt, iresidtnt of the
Federation of Church Workers in the
university, this church day will be on
a larger scale than ever before.
Churches all over Lincoln are in
terested in this church day, and in
an endeavor to createi enthusiasm in
tlie project, 5,500 postal cards have
been sent out by the University of
Nebraska urging students to attend
church next Sunday. This step was
strongly endorsed by Acting Chancel
lor Burnett as worthy of commenda
tion. it is the hope of all churches in
Lincoln that every person in Lin
coln who is connected with the uni
versity, including students, profes
sors, and others ?n some way em
ployed, will attend church Sunday,
and fill each structure to capacity.
Church services will be at their
hpst Sunday. End all sermons will
hold a wealth cf cumulating and pro
phetic truth. The music of all
churches will alto be the very best,
with everyone r articipating striving
to please the ttudiints.
1 he date of University Church day
in previous year? has been the Sun
day before Thanksgiving, but it has
been chaneed with the hope that the
church-going habit might Le created
early in rtudents, and made to stay,
The Church day. before this year,
was called "Affiliation Sunday," but
this name and purpose have been
changed. The purpose of church'day
this year is to urge attendance,
rather than affiliation.
Some churches, however, are urg
ing affiliation to some extent, and
are strfving to get in communication
with all students of their denomina
tional preference. These churches
propose that the students join as
affiliate members, this connection
havine no effect upon the students
affiliation with his home church. It
lasts only during the student's time
in university, and may mean much or
little to the student, according to
the time he spends upon it, and the
seriousness of his intent.
No list of churches extending a
welcome to students on All-Univer
sity Church Day will need to be pub
lished because all of the churches in
Lincoln extend this welcome and in
vitation to students of the Univer
sity of Nebraska.
MARTI IS WORLD
FORD LI SPEAKER
Last Year Irj Day Orator Stresses
Choice of Right Type of
College Activities
"Students must choose the right
kind of activities to pursue through
their college careers," stated Lloyd
Marti, at the first World Forum
luncheon of the season held at the
Grand Hotel yesterday with about
one hundred in attendance.
"Activity work should be most in
teresting and important to fresh
men," said Mr. Marti in regard to
the question, "Place of Activities in
the life of the Student." This advice
was given from observation and ex
perience in student activity work for
four years, according to Mr. Marti.
He declared that it was as important
for a freshman to know what activ
ities to enter as a man deciding
which car to buy or girl to marry."
The activities most prominent to the
students seem to be publications, ath
letics, fraternities, sororities, the Y.
. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A
One of the best points of the talk,
probably, was "that there is so large

Famous Music Leader Brings
Band to Lincoln on
November First
TWO PROGRAMS PLANNED
When John Philip Sousa brings
his band to Lincoln November 1, he
will be celebrating his fiftieth anni
versary as a conductor and the thir
ty-fifth anniversary of his famous
band.
And when Lieutenant Commander
Sousa lifts his baton on the stage of
the University Coliseum, he will be
nearing his seventy-third milepost of
life.
Sousa, the "March King," is as
active at 72 as many men a score of
years younger than he,' and he has
undertaken this season a tour as
strenuous as any he has made in the
past. He attributes his good health
to the exercise he has received while
conducting a band twice daily for
the last thirty-five years.
"Had I gone into a business or a
profession other than music, I prob
ably would have been dead twenty
years ago," says Sousa. "If I had
tried, I could not have picked out a
profession which has combined exer
cise and regularity of hours in such
an ideal manner?'
Sousa will give two concerts at
the University Coliseum, on Novem
ber 1. The afternoon program will
include an educational music novelty,
especially for the hundreds of school
children who will attend, called
"Showing Off Before Company,"

Former Efforts
Awgwan's subscription campaign
unlimbered its joints Wednesday
ready for a week-end push. Coinci
dent with the opening of the drive
for subscribers came the announce
ment that the rest of the editorial
copy for the first issue will go to
the printers late today.
"Slow start" was the way Hal F.
Childs characterized the opening
day's efforts. He expressed confi
dence that the campaign would be a
success before the completion of the
week allotted by the Student Council.
"More than 1000 subscribers laughed
at and with the. Awgwan last year,"
he said. "I look for a far larger
number this year." Indications are
that the opening number will surpass
former efforts at college comics
There is every reason to expect that
succeeding numbers will come up to
the standard set in the opener.
No effort is being spared to get
"The Eye-Opener" out on time, de

All students in the organized
cheering section must attend the
meeting of the group which will be
held at the stadium at 4:30. o'clock
Friday afternoon. This session, which
is being held to prepare the section
for the Iowa State-Nebraska game,
will be the only practice of the sea-!
son.
The meeting will be lead by the
cheer leaders and the Corn Cobs,
who will assign seats and give gen
eral instructions regarding stunts. In
order to eliminate disorder, students
are requested to keep the seats as
signed Friday.
The object of organized cheering,
which was instituted at Nebraska
only this year, is to offer the team
organized support and to make an
effective display in the stadium. The
effectiveness of the idea has been
demonstrated at the other universi
ties a which it has been used.
Students in the section will wear
red and white caps, and will receive
colored cardboards to use in the
stunts.

Round-table Discussion
About fifteen members of the
Freshman Council of the University
Y. M. C. A. gathered at the Temple
Wednesday evening for their first
meeting. A round-table discussion
was held on the topic, "What Is Ex
pected of a Freshman." Joe Hunt,
student president, and Mr. Hays,
general secretary, were in charge of
the discussion.
Various ideas were brought forth
as to what is really expected of first
year men in the University. Scholar
ship and school activities were nat
urally foremost. The freshmen, ac
cording to the general opinion of
those present, should first of all learn
how to study. Having acquired this
they should make it a habit and keep

Line Pilot
I
Ray Randels af Anthony, Kansas,
will Rten intn the new role as line
general when the Iowa State eleven
lines up against Nebraska Saturday.
Randels is a veteran tackle on the
Cornhusker eleven having seen two
years of service with the Husker
team.
ROY RANDELS NAIIED
PILOT HUSKER LINE
New "No Scouting" Rule is Reason
Leaves Line Without Knowledge
of Opponent Plays
Another important change has tak
en place in the Cornhusker football
sauad when a new position of line
captain was created by "Bunny"
Oakes. Husker line coach. Ray Ran
dels of Anthony, Kansas, veteran
forward wall tackle on the Nebraska
team was elected to that position.
Randels is one of the hardest fighters
on the Husker line and has seen two
vearj on the Scarlet 'team.
Randels in the new role as line
general will pilot the forward wall
and arranee the line on defensive
plays. The reason for the Nebraska
line coach taking this action was that
the "no scouting" rule in the Valley
now leaves the front wall to figure
out all the plays after the kickoff.
Heretofore with scouting goinjr on
within the Valley circle, the linemen
knew a little about the plays of the
opposing eleven.
LAW FACULTY HAS
RHODES SCHOLAR
Sheldon Tefft, Nebraska Winner
Of Scholarship, Returns
To Teach
Sheldon Tefft, Rhodes scholar from
Nebraska, will be an instructor in
the College of Law this year, taking
the place of E. M. Dodds. He is
teaching Criminal Law, Equity, Cor
porations, and Partnerships. Mr.
Tefft was the Rhodes scholar from
Nebraska in 1924, and has been a
student at Oxford University the past
three years. While at Oxford he won
the Vinerian scholarship in law.
American students who think that
students at Oxford never work have
a misconception of the University,
Mr. Tefft told a Nebraskan reporter
today. While it is true that a man
may get a degree from Oxford by
simply managing to stay in school
for four years, Mr. Tefft thinks that
it is harder to get a "first" at Oxford
than to make Phi Beta Kappa at Ne
braska. Only one examination is giv
en, which comes at the end of the
four year course. On the basis
this the graduating class is divided
into four divisions, and to get into
the first of these is considered a
high honor.
The numerous rules governing the
conduct of students are highly inter
esting to Americans. These rules
are taken from old statutes, and are
written in mediaeval Latin, which
even a good student of classical Lat
in can hardly translate. If the uni
versity authorities do not approve of
your conduct, they generally have
little trouble in finding a rule to fit
the case.
Oxford students are strictly for
bidden to ride in airplanes without
