Lin' coin churches have been working to gether in an effort to fill every church this Sunday. This year the date of Church Day has been set ahead. Originally it was the Sunday before Thanksgiving but in order to encourage the studcr.tr to start to church earlier in the year the date has been placed earlier. The University greatly appre ciates the interest of the Lincoln churches in providing a cordial welcome to all University stu dents. We feel that the social op portunities afforded through these channels will add greatly to the enjoyment and cultural influences of the students, and that the spir itual inspiration which comes through such associations is need ed by all who seek to fit them selves efficiently into our human society. I bespeak the cooperation of all our student body in the student program of our churches. Sincerely yours, E. A. BURNETT, Acting Chancellor. The purpose of Church Day has been changed somewhat. Before this year much emphasis was put on af filiation but the purpose now is to urge attendance rather than affilia tion. Nevertheless, some churches are proposing affijiate memberships to Students, which in no way affects membership in their home churches, and continues'as long as the student remains in school. Every church in Lincoln extends a hearty and sincere invitation to everyone in any way connected with the university. Atsistant Newt Editor it Chosen for Nebratkan Maurice W.

EDITOR'S PLACE IS HOW OPEN.ON 1928 YEARBOOK Owing to Misunderstanding of Eligibility Rules Board Declares A Vacancy RECEIVE APPLICATIONS Chairman of Publication Board Engberg, Fully Explains The Situation Selection of the editor-in-chief for the Cornhusker, university annual, will be made in the near future by the student publication board. Ap plications are being received now. Owing to a misunderstanding of university rules concerning scholastic eligibility, the editorial position has been declared open by the board. Archibald R. Eddy, 28, Lincoln, was I chosen editor last May. Engberg Makes Statement The following statement by Carl C. Engberg, chairman of the publica tion board, is made public today. "Attempts on the part of athletes to evade scholastic requirements some years ago forced athletic con ferences to declare that registration and credits in extension shall not ap ply on the scholastic requirements for athletics, except as an aid in re moving delinquencies, and the uni versities immediately followed with the necessary legislation. Since it is manifestly impossible, however, to operate fairly with one eligibility rule for athletics and another for other student activities it has been found necessary to hold all to the same rule. The first non-athletic case of this kind to occur is that of the editor-in-chief of the 1928 Cornhus ker, who was last semester registered for 14 hours of class work and four hours cf extcT.iiou work. He passed in the extension hours, but in only 10 out of the other 14 hours, 12 being the minimum requirement Special consideration was asked for on the (Continued on Page 3) OKLAHOMA AGGIES SHOW INDIGNATION Resolution is Presented to Stndents For Approval ia Giant Mass Meeting by Senate Stillwater, Okla., Oct. 3.

A steady downpour of rain throughout the game caused numer ous fumbles and forced both elevens to punt often before the fourth down. Glenn Presnell, Husker halfback, carried the brunt of the ball lugging job for Nebraska and was the outstanding back of the Cornhusker squad. "Blue" Howell, who was figured on by Husker fans to do a lot of the ball carrying was taken from the game late in the first quarter with an injured side. The injury was serious enough to keep the flashy back from going back into the game. Mr. McLean's report after the game was that Blue may have received a cracked rib. The Cyclones came to Nebraska to Presnell Scores Glenn Presnell, flashy Husker half back who scored the first and only touchdown for Nebraska against Iowa State yesterday.

O Prof. Bengston Sails on Largest Ship Afloat; Then On A Greasy Oil Tanker From the polished floors of the liirgest and most splendid ship afloat to the greasy decks of an oil tanker was the experience of Prof- N. A. Bengston, of the University of Ne hrRkf who ia on leave of. absence from his position as professor of geol ogy and geography. Professor Bengston writes in an interesting vein of his experiences abroad. He spent some time in En rope and then sailed for South Amer ica where hs win be engaged in re search work. His letter, written on board the S. S. Felipa while enroute from Curacao to Maracaibo, follows: "Times do change, and I am surely being exposed to a variety of expe riences in the course of the work I am now doing. On the evening of June S I boarded as a first cabin passenger on the largest esse! afloat; my surroundings were so gorgeous that they set ray Lead awhiiL This uiGi&iiiX way of contrast I climbed a greacy rope lad der to come on hoard an oil tanker cs '"fifth engineer for the trip to Maracaibo. Th "fifth engineer is a very fit term because this bott Las INJURED IN FIRST QUARTER avenge the 31 to 6 defeat the Hus kers handed them last season as the season opener. Estimated as a stiff opponent, yet the Cyclone aggrega tion was underestimated in the Hus ker camp and gave Bearg's wearers of the Scarlet a real battle. Although the Iowa State eleven never threat ened the Nebraska goal, it held the Huskers for downs and broke through the line defense throwing the backs for numerous losses. The work of Miller, Lamson, Captain Weiss and Ayres was the outstanding light of the Cyclone team. Johnny Miller, Ames half was responsible for many of the gains through the line and around the end. It was also Miller who returned the kickoffs and Hus ker punts, returning one punt for 35 yards. Bob Lamson, fullback was the outstanding star on defense making brilliant tackles before the Cornhus ker backfield could get under way. Cyclone Captain Wias Toss Captain Walt Weiss won the toss and defended the south goal Referee Jack Grover blew the whistle and tt.t Nebraska football season had opened. Ted James kicked off 45 yards. Mil ler receiving and returning the ball 13 yards. The first play the Cyclones launched was spoiled when Elmer Holm broke through the Iowa line to throw Weiss for no gain. Ames punted on the fourth down and from jthen on until the gun sounded the end of the opening quarter, Nebraska had the edge on its northern rival, making two first downs to none for the Cyclones. Nebraska lost 20 yards the first quarter by four penalties for being off side. The second quarter was a series of punts, passes and penalties. The Iowa State aggregation put up a stiff defense in the second quarter and the Husker backfield found it a tough job to penetrate the forward walL With HowelL Nebraska's hard hitting line plunger out of the game, the smashing department of the Hus ker eleven was somewhat weakened. Coach Bearg inserted "Bud" Mc Bride in the backfield and the Lin coln high school back showed up well in his first varsity game. The Ne braska eleven used the forward pass attack during the second quarter for numerous gains, while Iowa State resorted to straight football with Johnny Miller going through the Husker line and around the end. The first half ended with the ball in the Ames territory. Ted James Opems Secoed Half The second half opened with Ted James kicking off 50 yards to Miller. He returned the kick 32 yards through a broken field of Husker warriors.
