DISCUSSES PLAN
FOR NEW EVENT

mer University Night
Y. M. C. A. URGES ACTION
Council to Make Thorough
Investigation of
Honoraries
The matter of reinstating some
type of entertainment to take the
place of University Night was
brought hefore the student council
in their regular bi-monthly meeting
held last evening in Temple, 204.
The university Y. M. C. A. is urg
ing that they be allowed to sponsor
some definite thing from which they
may receive sufficient proceeds to
carry on their work.. The University
Night has in previous years taken
care of this.
University Night in the form it
was held last year was abolished,
after considerable criticism was
brought about as a result of some
of the acts.
Council Favors Plan
CoUncil members in considering
the matter declared that they were
open-minded in the matter but that
they could see that some type of en
tertainment fully censored and un
der direct supervision of some one
definitely responsible for the pro
ceedings could te well staged. They
did not believe that the old type of
University Night should even be
considered.
The complete list of honorary or
ganizations asked to report have not
sent in their reasons for existence
and no action in regard to these was
taken. James Jensen, president of
the council, will appoint a commit
tee in the near future which will re
ceive all communication in regard to
the honoraries and will make a spe
cial point to thoroughly investigate
all of those which do not seem to
have any definite and worthy reason
for existing.
Report on the progression of plans
for the national student council con
vention was made by Ruth Palmer.
Definite arrangements are to begin
in the near future. The committee is
awaiting specific instructions from
the national executive committee.
The next meeting of the stut'ent
council will be held November 17 in
Temple, 204.

Concerning Colonel Lindberghs Visit
"Will Colonel Lindbergh really be here1 for the football game Satur
day?" Nebraskan readers were overflowing with unnecessary excitement
yesterday morning, when this paper published a false story announcing
the arrival of the famous "bashful Charles" for the Kansas-Nebraska
football contest.
To falsify such an important news topic in the columns of the college
newspaper deserves an apology, which the staff offeTs. Many readers de
tected the hoax, executed by the Corn Cobs, Nebraska's pep organization,
and really appreciated the intent of the feutu-e article. If the story had
been qualified a trifle more, such a publicity campaign for the Corn Cobs
might have been justifiable.
Presented in all seriousness, in the beginning of the article, however,
it represents a breach of journalistic ethics which the public will not tol
erate. The Corn Cobs should not have used the columns of this paper for
such a purpose. Nor should The Daily Nebraskan staff, in the absence of
the proper authorities, have allowed the material to be printed without
more investigation.
Cold, hard facts cannot be escaped, and it is better to face the music
than to print an obscure retraction at the bottom of page 4.
COBS REVEAL
STUNT PLANS
Pep Organization Has Novel
Idea for Skit Between Halves
Of Homecoming Game
TASSELS WILL ASSIST
In response to floods of inquiries
concerning the visit of "Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh" to Lincoln
next Saturday afternoon, the Corn
Cobs have completed the announce
ment of their proposed stunt. Ac
cording to schedule a "Lindy" will
appear between halves of the Kansas-Nebraska
homecoming game, and
will be met by a delegation of .dis
tinguished Nebraskans. "Every Ne
braskan is distinguished on Home
coming day," one of the members
added.
Unable to withold longer the de
tails of the event, on account of the
unusual excitement caused by the
first news, the Corn Cobs have re
vealed the reasons for their original
announcement. The "Lindbergh" who
is scheduled to appear in Lincoln
next Saturday may not be quite as
bashful as the famous ace, and he
may fall short of the million dollar
smile that conquered natrons, but he
will be the best substitute that the
Corn Cobs can find.
Each season the Corn Cobs pre
sent on stunt between, .the,, hjjjyes of
an important game. In this enter
tainment for the Kansas game, the
Cobs will be assisted by the Tassels.
CHARLES CORBETT
TALKS AT VESPERS
"Ainu and Accomplishment of the
Revolution in China" i
Subject
"The accomplishments of the rev
olution in China thus far do not seem
to be so great when they are com
pared with the tremendous purposes
of the movement," stated Mr. Charles
Corbett when he spoke at the regular
Vespers meeting Tuesday evening, on
the "Aims and Accomplishments of
the Revolution in China." "But
when you consider that there ara
four hundred million people in China
scattered over a vast area, the intel
lectual awakening and great social
changes that have occurred especial
ly in the large cities, within the last
few years appear relatively larger,"
he continued.
Revolution Described
Mr. Corbett described the progress
of the revolution from the time ol
the Boxer Rebellion in 19UU until
the formation of the first republic In
1912 and told of the difficulties
which the new republic had to face.
"It was the aim of the southern
group led by Sun-Yat Sen, who was
really the father of the revolution, to
unify the country, to develop its re

The R. O. T. C. regiment will
form a parade on Thursday, ac
cording to the plans of the mili
tary department as announced
last week. They will form for
for first call at 5 o'clock.
The military department has
taken measures this year to pre
vent unnecessary excuses and be
cause of this a large turn-out is
expected.
Freshman Barbecue
Is Postponed a Week
The freshmen barbecue ha3
been postponed until next week,
following the ruling of the Iron
Sphinx last night. Due to the
fact that the State Teachers' as
sociation will conflict with the
barbecue, and that the postpone
ment until next week will add
more interest to the freshmen
Olympics which are to held Satur
day afternoon, November 12, the
Iron Sphinx thought it advisable
to postpone the barbecue.

ROYAL WELCOME
IS PLANNED FOR
ALL GRADUATES
Most Extensive Decorations
In Years Are Expected
For Homecoming
LIMIT IS PLACED AT $25
Limitation of Expenditures
Expected To Encourage
Prize Competition
More fraternity and sorority
houses are to be decorated for home
coming, this year than have been
decorated for the past three years,
according to Emerson Meade, gen
eral chairman of the homecoming
committee. The limit of $25 on ex
penditures for decorating is respon
sible for this increase in the number
of houses taking part in the compe
tition. "In the last two years," Meade
explained, "many of the houses re
fused to decorate because a large
amount of money had to be expended
before the house could get into the
prize winning class. Last year many
of the organizations spent as high
as $100 in decorating for the annual
event. And with a number of them
saving money for new houses, they
refused to spend a great lot of mon
ey. This year, the Innocents placed
the limit at a figure which would al
low all of the houses to enter com
petition. The society felt that ample
decorating could be done with this
much money."
Treasurers To Submit Bills
The treasurers of the organizations
decorating must subit a bill of ex
penses incurred in the decorating tf
the houses, to Oscar Norling, in the
Daily Nebraskan office before 5
o'clock Friday. Only those houses
will be entered in the competition.
Dwight Kirsch, instructor in the
school of fine arts, will head the list
of judges. D. V. Manrose, in charge
of the scenery at the Playhouse, and
C. G. Lawrence, window decorator
for Speiers will assist him.
They will start on the tour of in

McCormackTo
Appear In City
On November 9
"The appearance of John McCorm
ack in the university coliseum Wed
nesday, November 9, will be one of
the most outstanding events of the
season," stated Willard Kimball of
the conservatory of music, yesterday
afternoon. "It has taken two years
for me to obtain this date for Mr.
McCormack's appearance here."
The great tenor will come here di
rect from Chicago where he makes
two appearances the same week.
Tickets are always sold out long be
fore his appearance and it is very
rarely that he sings in any city so
small as Lincoln. Usually only those
living In large centers have an oppor
tunity to hear Mr. MrCormack. His
concert here furnishes an opportunity
for students to hear the greatest liv
ing tenor.
Eastern critics are unanimous in
saying that John McCormack is sing
ing better than ever after a summer
of rebt in his castle In Ireland.
Edwin Schneider, his accompanist
and a cello player, will be with him.

Nebraska's annual bonfire rally
will be held next Friday evening. For
some time a Cornhusker bonfire
rally has been held each year, and
has been found to be a most effec
tive method of stimulating Nebraska
spirit. The rally will be held on the
drill field north of the Social
Sciences building.
The presence of the bonfire brings
memories of rallies held in past
years, when such affairs were held in
the open out of necessity, and the
bonfire was quite practical. Today
rallies are held the coliseum, and a
well lighted stage for speakers, and
ample room for students is afforded.

FOOTBALL MEN ARE
GUESTS AT DINNER
University and Lincoln High School
Athletes Are Entertained By
Rotary Club
Football men from the University
of Nebraska and Lincoln high school
were entertained as special guests
of the Lincoln Rotary club at the
Lincoln hotel yesterday afternoon.
Fifty university athletes and coaches
and twenty-two high school football
men were present. Two hundred
were seated at the banquet tables.
Perry Branch presided over the
program.
The University band furnished
music during the dinner. University
and high school yells and songs were
led by Phil Sidles, university cheer j
leader. Dick Westover, captain of
the Lincoln high school team in 1910,
introduced the members of the Lin
coln high school squad and the coach
es. Coach Bearg presented the mem
bers of his team and coaching staff.
Dr. G. E. Condra was the speaker
of the day. Doctor Condra told of
the relationship between high school
and university athletes and recalled
his experiences in trying to get a

OhlMIST CLUB SEES PLAY
Dramatic Students Present "A
Matter of Choice"
The members of the Optimist club
who attended the weekly club lunch
eon Tuesday at the chamber of com
merce, witnessed a performance by
a gronp of students of dramatic art.
Their director, Miss Alice Howell,
spoke briefly on the work of the de
partment, after which the students
ptesented the one-act play, "A Mat
ter of Choice". The cast included:
Mm. Bi'siit, Margaret Mastera-m;
Mr. Brent, Coral Dubrey; Phoebe,
Irene Lavely; Jennie, Aline Reade;
Henry, Jack Rank; Marcia, Lois
Oberlies.
ms rriuuy evening,
the case; the coliseum is a compara
tively new building, and this is only
the second season that rallies have
been held in it. Formerly the mass
pep-meetings-were held on the drill
field where a rude stage was lighted
and heated by a huge bonfire.
Speakers were forced to shout to
make themselves heard, and it was
not the most favorable place for a
rally.
Today, however, there is little dis
comfort and no competition to a
Cornhusker rally in the coliseum. In
order, though, that Nebraskans shall
not forget the old bonfire rallies, an
event of this kind is scheduled to
take place in preparation for the
homecoming game.
MORTAR BOARD

DATE IS ONLY TENTATIVE
The annual Mortar Bqard district
convention will be held on the Ne

Athletes Will
Receive Sport
Honor Medals
In a letter sent out to all N men
by the athletic department, appears
an explanation of the new honor
medal to be awarded to all letter men
hence forth. Letter men of the
1927-1928 season will receive the
medal and it may be secured by let
tor men of former years, although
the cost of awarding the emblem to
all alumni is prohibitive to the ath
letic department.
The medal, which may be worn as
a watch charm, is rectangular in
shnpe. In the foreground of the
piece stands a Grecian lady with the
palm of victory in her hand; an N
forms the background. The inscrip
tion "University of Nebraska" also
appears on the medal.
The emblem is to be presented at
the time of graduation or, in the
event that the athlete does not grad
uate, at the time of the completion
of his eligibility for participation in
sports. In casej a man receives a
letter but does not stay in school, he
will not receive his medal until he
returns to school to complete his
competition or until ho graduates.
A gold medal will be awarded to
men who have made three or more
varsity letters. Theso letters may
be made in one sport or in any num
ber of sports which the persons hap
pens to letter. A silver medal will
be awarded to men winning two let
ters, and a bronze medal to men mak
ing one letter. On the back of the
medal the owner's name and com
plete athletic record will be enu'aved
The medal will serve as a life pass
to gain admittance for its owner to
all Nebraska athletic contests held
on the home grounds.
