CIGURES released Saturday from the athletic de partment reveal the information that 133,521 persons watched the 1929 Cornbuskers display then football wares. Despite several bad breaks from thu weather man a new attendance reeord was estab lished. Football profits, as usual, make up for the de ficits in other Intercollegiate sports. In reminding the public of the benefactions of football, however, one of the Lincoln papers in a news story Sunday went beyond actual facts. -In addition," reads the story, "the football 'gate' makes possible a program of intramural sport that brings some form of athletic activity in the reach of every student THE Intramural program at Nebraska consists principally of Interf raternity athletics. Feeble attempts have been made to induce more nonfrater nity student to enter into athletic competition but for the most part the attempts have been unsuccess ful. The program Is a Highly competitive one and tha nonfraternity students lack the organization to provide any serious opposition in tournaments. How la thl lnterfraternity athletic program fi nanced? The board of regent in its yearly budget sppropriate a small sum to pay the salary of an intramural director and an assistant. This money eomea, not from the football coffers, but from the regular university fund derived from taxation. Thl Insignificant sum doe not cover all of the expense. Early In the fall the intramural director send out a letter to each fraternity announcing that tbe fee for entering lnterfraternity events is $20. It amounts to an assessment because frater nity men are obsessed with the Idea that all mem ber and pledges should get into activities and ath letic above, everything else. 1 NTJIRECTLT tbe athletic department aids in the Intramural program. It paid part of tbe cost of the etadium, the coliseum and most of the upkeep of those two buildings. The highly paid coaches sometime devote their spare time to the amateurs in intramural athletic. The people of Nebraska get an exaggerated idea of the Cornhusker gridiron when they read in the state paper that football "makes possible" the in tramural program. They should know that the tax payer and tbe atudents themselves are at least helping the financing of that kind of athletics. Credit should be given where credit is due. Correct thl sentence: I flunked three courses but I think all of my instructors were mighty fine. AN AUGMENTED STAFF. MAMES of eight members of an editorial advisory board and nix contributing editors appear In the masthead of The Daily Nebraskan today. Depart ing from the traditionary idea of appointing a few contributing editors whose chief function has been writing editorials, The Nebraksan this semester seek to inaugurate a new plan. The editorial board la composed of eight in dividuals representing various divergent interests to be found In the student body. Principal colleges and different political factions have been taken Into consideration it selecting its members. By securing comment of these students on matter of a controversial nature and their advice on aubject In which their main interests lie The Nebraskan will have an absolute factual basis for editorial. All side of every question will be ex posed. A since re effort can be made to determine which la best. Reason for selecting each member of the board are apparent when their activities and af filiations are renewed. Joyte Ayr.

To the editor: Another grand opera is to be given within a thort time on the University of Nebraska campus and every effort I being made by means of prom ised tl-kt reductions and choice seals among one's best friends to Inveigle Nebraska students into bpending from one to six dollars for a seat. It does not seem logical that football tickets costing at least twice as much as the average ticket to the opera should be bought with so much enthu siasm while the amount for the latter Is so reluc tantly given. An opera is a piece of art. beautiful and perfect in every part. Those attending even though they do not comprehend the language, nevertheless they cannot help being enraptured by the sheer perfec tion of the tone and harmony of the voices of the artists. Perfection is the one thing the world is always striving for. and here is one opportunity for students to witness something which probably comes as close to that ideal as is possible. American students as a whole seem to regard opera as something they must patronize simply be cause it is being done. In the perpetual hurry and scurry c their exiMence they do not stop long enough to compare values and make accurate Judg ments on matters of this kind. Every University of Nebraska student should be piesent at the performance of Carmen. M K. Current Comment WE DONT WANT COEDS. If one were asked to name the most significant function of the men's union he would probably point to the student-faculty luncheon. This Is not one of the biggest Jobs of the union by any means, or per haps not the most conspicuous, but it is nevertheless unique. Very few other universities in the country have a function which has in its ostensible purpose the promotion of social fellowship between faculty members and students. The question has been asked time and again by coeds, "Why enn't we dome along to these luncheons and get acquainted with our professors?" The an swer is very simple. It is not that the men who go to these lunceons want to be selfish that they seek to deprive the women of the campus of an opportunity. It Is Just that it is a "men's'- affair, instituted and promoted by men, and patronized by men. It Is run off in an atmosphere of friendly informality which would be impossible if coeds were present. The more functions we have on this campus of a distinctly male character the better pleased we shall be. They are the best relief we have from the doubtful pleasure of omnipresent coeds in some ways this campus' greatest peril. Daily Northwestern. WHY PROFESSORS GET GRAY. These are some of the reasons: The bluffer. The boy with the loud voice and the empty head, who usually Is only 10 percent right. The sweet young thinj; with rerj lips who does not studv. but tries to use her "personality" to im press her knowledge of the course on her professor. Tbe smart, silent bird who "knows his stuff," but has to be coaxed to talk. The preoccupied young thinker whose mind is always mile away; who never bears the question and answers some entirely dif ferent one. The assertive Phi Bete who hogs the recitation. The persons who take the course for cerdit. The sleeps who do not bother unless they snore. Four years of class lectures have aroused In us a profound sympathy for the professor in front of the class. His gray hairs are not unwarranted. Oregon Emerald. IT'S THE MEN WHO PAY. An attempt at Northwestern to establish a "Dutch" system of dating where men and women would share equally in the expenses resulted in two poorly attended dances . . . Althoueh women are Retting: more ana more into salaried positions that make them partly or totally independent, it will be a long time before they will give up the security of hiving a man to fall back on when they tire of their work or develop a string penchant for homes and babies. Letting the boy friend pay for the movie la one way of training the husband to pay the rent or taxes. Stu dents at Northwestern were Tying In the face of human nature. It is not surprising that they failed. Daily Iowan. TO ANNUAL FUN PARTY Literary Society Will Give Mock Radio Party Friday Night.

WALLER NAMES CHANGES TO AID ANTI-WAR PACT (Continued from page 1.) be worked together, according to Mr. Waller. He offered no sug gestion for his first remedy, say ing that his audience, as Ameri can citizens, should consider some thing themselves. In reference to his second point, he saia mat ne expected the naval disarmament conference meeting now in Lon don to accomplish great things. This he said would also influence land forces disarmament. He re ferred his third remedy, as the first, to the people for a solution. "Ireland Is Isolated." "Only since the Irish Free state was created on Dec. 6, 1921. has there been an Irish foreign policy," said Mr. Waller. "We are an iso lated nation, sometimes called an island beyond an island, and have had to discover what our relations to other points in the world should be. "One idea of thin relation is that we should concentrate on our own affairs, make ourselves self-supporting, and have little to do with the rest of the world. It is a bad thing, however, for a nation to shut itself off from the rest of the world now. "We realize that we must have relations with the rest of the world and we want those to be peaceful and friendly. I find that it sunrises many of my audiences to learn that Ireland at present is a friendly country. They think it is warlike and always have In mind the story about the Irish man who had just landed in New York and discovered a fight. After watchinc the scuffle a while he drew closer to the principal combatants, so the story goes, and asked if it was a private fight or one in whic h all might Join." Country Seeks Peace. Experiences in and following the World war have resulted in a re vulsion against war in Ireland, Mr. Waller said. Ireland is eager for peace both within its borders and with other countries. The speaker explained the national relationships of Ireland with the British com monwealth of nations and the I-eague of Nations, giving several reasons why the league Is of value. The leagues gives recognition to a country, he said. A means of contact with other countries is given and by such contact many of the irritations which might lead to war are removed "Many think the only object of the league is to preserve peace," Mr. Waller stated. "Of course, this is its most important function, but besides this it works for better health conditions between nations; it trys to prevent drug smuggling from one country to another; it at tempts to improve social and trad ing conditions of the nations; and it performs many other functions of value to the member countries." Skeptical of League. Ireland was very skeptical of the league at first but her opinion soon changed after she had entered the compact. Probably the biggest factor in this change of opinion was a selfish one, according to the speaker. The Irish reasoned, he said, that however poor an organ ization it was, when representa tives of other countries meet every year to discuss international prob lems, Ireland should be present simply to be represented from other countries. It would also be useful to a new counttry Just es' tablishing self government. Mr. Waller said he would not say the league at present is at Its best, but it has at least functioned very ably in several disputes and has kept armed conflict from occur ring. He said it gives the small country for the first time a place in the world powers and aids the change of settling disputes from a basis of force to one 1 of common sense and Justice.

"Before that date record were not preiterved and it Is practically impossible to find authoritative traces of families up to that lime.

"An uncle asked mo for some In formation about a relative and after I had the data for him I had discovered a wonderful hobby as well as some h.iu lamuy con nections." Clues Are Varied. Old deeds and wills furnish au thoritative farts of relationships but the clue to them may be sug gested by an old gravestone, a family bible, or tho continuation of some favorite family given name. One time Mr Doane was anx Iouh to discover the maiden name and family connections of an an cestress named Kuth whose grave- marker gave her year of birth as 1739. Knowing the town of her birth, ho went through all the birth records for that year and discovered five Ruths.

It was necessary to trace the line down from both Ruths to discover the answer. One of Ituth'a grand, rhildrrn bore the name 'luiih 8.
