OBSERVE GO TO
CHURCH SUNDAY
Lincoln Churches Cooperate In
Holding Religious Event
For Students
EXPECT MANY TO ATTEND
Today is All-University Church
Day, and pastors of Lincoln church
es are expecting record breaking
crowds of university students. 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.

Eligibility Rules Board

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

Presnell Makes Only Touchdown Of Game
By Jack Elliott
The Nebraska Cornhuskers opened their 1927 Missouri
Valley football season Saturday on Stadium field by defeating
the Ames Cyclones 6 to 0 before a crowd of 10,000 fans. 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 Iowa State eleven never threat

Huskers for downs and broke through

for numerous losses. The work of
Miller, Lamson, Captain Weiss and

who returned the kickoffs and Hus
