DELEGATES SPEAK
AT VESPER SERVICE
Nebraska Co-Eds Who Attended Y.M.
and Y. W. C A. Camp at Estee
Park Describe Trip
"In the Spring we are all desirous
of going to camp, but as this is im
possible we will have the pleasure of
hearing our delegates tell us about
their summer spent at the Y. W. C. A.
and Y. M. C. A. Conference camp at
Estei Park," began Euth French, who
led Vesper Meeting yesterday after
noon. "The situation of the camp is su
perb, being located on an elevated
plateau surrounded by mountains.
The buildings are very rustic and
home-like, creating an ideal spirit of
friendship," said Lucile Oscar, in
telling of the Conference Grounds.
"Camp is not only a place- for the
deeper things of life, but has won
derful recreational advantages, in
" eluding hiking, horseback riding, and
teas," stated Jeanette Dean.
"I feel that the Quest Groups are
the most vital part of the confer
ence," said Hazel Sutton- "Each
group is composed of about tbirty-y
five girls who gather together na.
Uiacojw tieir daiiy problems.
Evelyn Collins told of the "Te Con
cierto," which is a series of meetings
giving foreigners a chance to tell of
their problems. Marjorie Sturde
vant explained Sundays at camp,
while Eloise Keefer told of the well
known speakers who talked at the
conference meetings.
The girls closed the services by
singing several spiritual songs which
they learned while at camp.
Advance Course Men Are
To Sign Three Contract
All Junior advanced course
members who have not signed
three copies of the contract to
take the advanced course should
report to Mrs. Henline, at the Mil
itary office, immediately. Con
tracts sifned last year are vnci'
licit! a&d should be disreg&rdad.
Many Loyal Huskere
Will Go To Missouri
More than 150 Nebraska people
are reported to be driving to Co
lumbia for the Missouri game. It
is hoped that a caravan may be
made up for the trip. One hun
dred seats have already been sold
in the Nebraska section at the
Missouri stadium.
As all cars must pass through
Kansas City on the way, a rally is
being planned for 8 o'clock Friday
evening in front of the Meuhlback
hotel, and all Nebraska fans are
urged to be present.
Although the Cornhusker band
will be unable to make the trip,
the Nebraska cheer leaders will be
present at the game. The Husker
eleven will be backed from the
stands with all the noise that Ne
braska representatives can m&ke.
FRESHMEN FAIL
TO WEAR CAPS
Official Roll To Be Checked
And List of Rule Evaders
Will Be Punished
PLENTY IN STOCK NOW
Examination of records discloses
the fact that several hundred fresh
men have failed to buy green caps.
The thousand first-year men who
have purchased the traditional head
gear are being listed, since each tick
et has the name of a purchaser on
it, and by comparison with the of
ficial roll it will soon be possible to
publish the names of those who have
not obeyed the order.
Freshmen may save trouble and
inconvenience by buying the caps
immediately, from any member of
Iron Sphinx, or at Speier's store or
the Student AfHvitipn office in the
Coliseum. A purchaser first receives
a ticket which may be exchanged at
the store for a green cap. Stocks of
the caps are said to be sufficiently
large to supply those who have yet
to buy them.
The Green Cap committee took no
action in regard to freshmen who
have disregarded the custom, as was
planned, at the Iowa State football
game Saturday, because of the bad
weather and the fact that there were
a number of first-year men in the
main cheering section. Iron Sphinx,
which has the assignment of conduc
ting the green cap operations, issues
warning that less lenience will be
shown from now on.
FRESHMAN COONCIL MEETS
Yearling Convene Wednesday and
Thursday in Temple
The Freshman Council will meet
Wednesday and Thursday evenings at
7 o'clock at the Temple. This coun
cil is composed of all men who wish
to come closer together in fellowship,
and who are desirous of meeting in a
bt-dy to discrss topics vital in the life
of the university student.
"What looks wrong to men in uni
versity life," will be the topic for
discussion Wednesday and Thursday.
All freshmen attending will write a
paper of their opinions on this sub
ject. These papers will be filed
away and next year at this time the
same men who have written these pa
pers will again write their views on
this subject.
The papers will be compared with
the ones written this year and the
difference will be shown by each stu
dent, as to his opinions of the uni
versity. This promises to be a very
interesting topic for the Freshman
Council. Mr. C. D. Hayes, the sec
retary of the "Y," promises many
such discussions as this which will
help the freshmen to gain interest in
university life.
Credaate Will Study At Chicago
Miss Hester Chadderdon, who was
graduated in 1925, will leave soon
for the University of Chicago where
she will study for her master's degree
in home economics.

PLEDGES REMOVED
AT FIRST QUARTER
Freshmen Receiving Poor Grades Can
Be Dropped from LUU Without
Affecting Croup Status
Fraternities and sororities having
on their lists pledges who are very
poor in scholarship will be given an
opportunity to erase the offending
names from their books, under the
plan announced from the office of
the Dean of Student Affairs.
A delinquency report will be
mailed to each frrrrity and soror
ity in time for t the regular
meeting f ollowi- i date of the
first quarterly report of each semes
ter. At that time pledges who are
seriously delinquent may be dropped
from the organization, provided their
pledges are broken and they are
moved from the house. Unless notice
of this action is given the office of
the dean the next day after the meet
ing, records of all pledges will be in
cluded in the group's average for the
semester, the announcement states.
Since members and pledges who
leave school or are dropped from the
group after midsemester count in the
semester standing, organization pres
idents are urged to see that all with
drawing students are in good stand
ing at the time.

has been named chairman of the
election committee for the fall elec
tion to be held in the Temple lobby
Tuesday, October 11. Othr members
of the committee are: Charles Bruce,
'29, Lincoln; Ruth Davis, '29, Lin
coln; Eugene Bach, '28, Axtell. All
student council members will be
asked to aid at the polls. Every ef
fort will be made to carry on the

Co-Eds Lead
Men in Hours
Over Passing
Scholarship statistics recently pub
lished by the University for the year
1926-27 show the men to have been
delinquent in 11.6 of their hours of
registration at the end of the first
semester while the women were de
linquent in only 4.0 of their hours.
The men reduced their percentage of
delinquencies to 7.8 the second se
mester as compared to 2.8 for the co
eds. The percentage of non-fraternity
men delinquent for the first semester
was 36.3 as compared to 20.5 of the
(initiated fraternity men. Figures
compiled at the same time show that
18.2 percent of the non-eorority wom
en were delinquent while only 8.5 of
the pledged sorority women were on
the wrong side of the dean's records.
The men of the University spend
more time in outdid work, many of
them working their way alone
through school. This accounts for the
higher percentage of delinquencies.
The average registration of men is
14.5 hours, while for the women it is
14.8. Non-eorority women carried an
average of 14.5 hours, whil sorority
members carried 15.2 hours. The
corresponding groups of men carried
14.6 hours and 14.5, respectively. A
table of the satistics appears in an
other part of this paper.

Special to Missouri
Too Great an Expense
No special train will go to the
Missouri-Nebraska football game
next Saturday because a $3,000
guarantee was necessary to float
the trip with railroad officials.
Three hundred tickets at ten dol
lars each would have been re
quired. No organization on the
campus was willing to take the fi
nancial risk of taking charge of
the trip.

"Stars Are Suns and the San Is a
Star," Says G.D. Swozey Over Radio
"If the sun or any other star were
brought as close to the earth as the
moon is, it would quickly vaporize
the earth," said Professor G. D.
Swezey, chairman of the Astronomy
department, in a talk over the Uni
versity radio last evening. "Stars
are suns and if our sun were removed
as far as the nearest star it would
diminish to an insignificant point of
light like any other star; or if any
star were brought as near to the
earth as tbe sun is it would appear
like a round giobe, intensely hot and
luminous.
"The stars, the planets, and the
moon, when seen from the eth teem

dome as if they were all equally dis

lusion due to the fact that the actual
distances of the beaven!y bodies are

By English Team
TRIALS HELD OCTOBER 14
All Students Intending To Try
For Nebraska Group Must
Sign by Next Monday
Acceptance of the proposal for Ne
braska to meet Cambridge debaters
here October 31 has been wired to
the Institute of International Educa
tion, sponsors of the English team's
tour, by Professor H. A. White. As
this date had been held open for Ne
braska, it is presumed that this as
sures the debate.
Tryouts for the team will be held
Friday afternoon, October 14, Pro
fessor White announced Tuesday. All
students wishing to tryout for the
team should report to Professor
White for further information. He
announced Tuesday that all students
intending to take part in the tryouts
must notify him by Monday.
According to present plans, each
student will be allowed ten minutes
for a tryout speech. Candidates will
probably be required to prepare on
both sides, receiving notice of which
side they will defend shortly before
the trials. Nebraska will defend the
negative against Cambridge but
speeches on both sides will be given
in the tryouts.
Plans for the debate will be
handled through Professor White's
office with the aid of the members of
Delta Sigma Rho, national forensic
fraternity. Bibliographies are to be
prepared at the library within a few
days.
