WORCESTER ENDS SERIES TALKS ON TEACHING 3IEANS The third and concluding talk by rr Wnrreatp r hefore the enirinner- ing college faculty was heid on Monday afternoon ana aeait v. mi the measurement of results of teaching. As there can be no teaching without learning and as learning is an active process, the only way of determining whether there has been teaching is by some sort of test to find out what the individual students know. Such tests, however, may also be used to aid in the teaching pro cess. Thus, quizzes may be used to determine the students' knowl edge and ability as a basis for fur ther teaching. Particular difficul ties may be noted and these cleared up. The effects upon the student may also be beneficial, for by tests and recitations, the student finds out his own difficulties. Also, the expectation of being called upon is an incentive to learning.

FRIDAY'S RALLY E NOBLE ADDRESS Husker Halfback of Decade Ago Secured to Make Leading Speech. PLAYED BRILLIANT GAME Coaches Schulte, Day Tell Gridiron Exploits of 'Bit Moose.' Dave Noble, famous Cornhusker halfback of 1921, '22, and '23, will be one of the chief speakers at the Dad's day eve rally Friday night, it was announced Tuesday, by Arthur Mitphpll. Noble, is largely remembered for his work against .Notre uame m 1922, the last game played on the .ld gridiron before the new sta dium was finished. In that game, Noble caught a pass while running at breakneck speed, jumped over one Notre Dame tackier, stiff-armed another, and raced 30 yards to the goal line for the winning touchdown. That run is still vivid in the minds of his team mates and others. W. L. "Bill" Day, now Nebraska line coach, said yesterday, "I can see that play yet. Dave was run ning faster than I ever saw any man move in a football suit, tip in the air he went, never hesitating; he grabbed the ball, hit the ground with his feet, jumped over one Notre Dame tackier, stiff-armed another, and he was off. Boy, what a run." Henry F. (Indian) Schulte, famous Nebraska track coach, re called the run yesterday, saying, "It was the fastest running to catch a pass I ever saw. and how Dave ran after he caught it was really something to see." Other stories of Noble's abilities abound. One of the most remem bered is his exploit of kicking a ball so hard one day on a kickoff that all the air blew out and the ball went flat. Noble will talk shortly after the rally starts at 7:30 Friday night at tvi stnfiinm. He will share tlv flood-lighted platform with one or two other talkers. The program will especially feature a great number of songs and yells. The rally will be preceded by a parade starting from the Temple at 7 o'clock. The parade will go up R street to Sixteenth, Sixteenth to Vine, and on Vine to the sta dium. DIClflLlG BEGINS NEXT WEEK Editor Announces Opening Of Drive After End of Yearbook Campaign.

FEATURES DA GREEK LEGISLATIVE GROUPS MOVE BOYCOTT TO REDUCE DOWN TOWN PARTY EXPENSE Interfraternity Council Puts Ban on Further Party Contracts. COMMITTEE WILL ACT Action Bears Out Policy Favored in Nebraskan Reduction Drive. In line with the general move ment for the reduction of party expenses, the Interfraternity coun cil last nigtit ordered that no fra ternity sign any further contracts for parties until tbe orchestras and hotels had made a proper reduc tion in price and that any organi zation violating this rule be fined. The motion, as made by Edwin Faulkner, president of the student council, read as follows: The Interfraternity council recommends and orders that no fraternity sign a contract with an orchestra or hotel for a party until proper reduction has been made, this reduction to be ap proved by the council, through its committee, and that any fra ternity violating this rule be fined by the judiciary commit tee. The motion was passed unanir mously. Faulkner did not promise any definite action by the student council, but he said that the legis lative body would approve the ac tion of the interfraternity council. He promised that the matter would be taken up at the next meeting and that the council would do all in its power to back that action. Committees Investigate. At the last meeting of the inter fraternity council, a committee consisting of John Zeilinger, chair man, Kenneth Uehling, Lloyd Pos pishil, and Don Easterday, was II 10 BEJ1ED TODAY Men Will Be Chosen to Pull For Supremacy of ' Classes. IDEA IS AN INNOVATION Twelve freshmen and twelve sophomores will be selected today by Harold Soderlund and George Sauer, class presidents, to com prise the teams which will pull for supremacy at the Iowa-Nebraska game Saturday. The two teams will not be announced until the clas3 presidents have had the op portunity to check the eligibility of the men they select and make substitutions if necessary. If the freshmen win the tug-of-war in two out of three trials they will no longer be required to wear the scarlet and cream caps syro- - i i. T bolic of their fresnmen status, n the sophomores outpull the year lings, the caps will remain regu lation head dress until the first snowfall. New Plan. The idea of staging the tug of war is an innovation this year sponsored by the Innocents society who are the traditional sponsors of the freshman caps. The caps have always been sold to freshmen by the society during the freshman registration week. Until this year freshmen caps have always been green as they are at most other in stitutions which require freshmen to acknowledge their inexperience by wearing some distinctive evi dence of their class affiliance. Some signs of rebellion, or at least disregard for the custom on the part of the freshmen have been noticed during the past year or two. Little or no attempt at enforcing the wearing of the caps led many of the freshman to cease wearing them after the f i rr,t week or two of school. As a result, this year the Innocents decided to change the color of the caps and appeal to the freshmen to wear the caps not in a sense of inferior ity, but rather as upholders of a tradition indicating an initiation into the spirit of loyalty toward With this same idea in mind the Innocents society is also sponsor ing tlv; tug-of-war in an effort to establish a tradition which will furnish the means for the deter mination of the length of time the caps are to be wo The Inno cents society also expects the tug-of-war to engender a certain amount of class spirit, the lack of which has also been bemoaned for some time.

Student Council Lender Approves A el ion of Creeks Commenting on the action of the Interfraternity and Panhel lenic councils last night as fav oring the signing of no more contracts for downtown parties this year until definite steps have been taken toward reduc tion of costs of ballroom rents and orchestra prices, Edwin J. Faulkner, jr., president of the student council made the fol lowing statement: "Altho I cannot promise def inite action by the student council, the matter will be taken up at the next meeting. It Is certain, howev.r, that the legislative body will approve the action taken by the groups representing the organized houses of the campus, and will do all in its power to back that action. The student council will ap prove the action and carry the application of the policy ex pressed into effect on all affairs over which it has jurisdiction. In my opinion, a forward step has been taken." appointed to co-operate with a committee appointed by the Pan Hellenic council for the purpose of investigating possibilities of reduc tion of party expenses. At the meeting last night, Zeil inger reported that the two com mittees had met with the mana gers of the two downtown hotels and the managers of the two or chestras to talk over the possibil ity of a reduction in prices. One hotel promised to reduce its price 10 percent. One orchestra leader reduced his price to $90 and later raised it because of the addition of another member to the band.

T. C. band will ac company the student migration to the Kansas. Aggie game at Man hattan. Nov. 14, according to pres ent plans of tbe organization. Freshmen probably will also be taken, in addition to old members of the band, Director "Billy" Quick believes. Plans for the Pittsburgh trip have definitely been abandoned because of lack of funds. The Pittsburgh trip had been discussed for some time, but the athletic de partment reports insufficient funds to send the group on the Thanks giving journey with the team. Ad ministration heads frowned on the proposal that the band institute a campaign to raise money for the excursion. Last year the band made two trips, to the ' Kansas university game at Lawrence and to Iowa City for the Hawkeye game. Only old members of the organization were taken on these journeys. Since only one trip is planned this year, all eligible men will probably be taken. PLEDGES ARE ANNOUNCED Phi Tau Theta, Methodist ' Fraternity, Picks 11 Men.

The Panhellenic council voted to forbid all sororities signing con tracts for parties at downtown ho tels for next year until full or when a definite cut is made in prices, at their meeting Monday evening in Ellen Smith hall.

She reported that the committee was able to get no worthwhile reductions. Louis Cogswell.
