Colonel Oury Tells of Early History
Of Pershing Rifles; Nebraska Group
Saw Service, Spanish American War
By BICHABD MOHAN.
How thirty members of the Pershing Rifles company, back
in "J8 under the leadership of Capt. W. II. Oury, now a colonel
in the regular army and commandant of the H. O. T. 0. at the
university, comprised a unit representing the university which
saw service in the Philippines during the Spanish-American
war was related recently by Colonel Oury.
In the sprint of the vear. then , .
i-ersning miles company increased
in size to more than one hundred
members, put on an exhibition
drill before the national guards of
the state. Mobilization for the war
took place on the state fair
grounds where the exhibition was
given, to create interest In enlist
ment for the war.
After the exhibition. Captain
Oury and thirty members of the
company enlisted In the First Na
tional Volunteers regiment- Oury
was made captain of a company in
the regiment, and the thirty Persh
ing Riflemen were placed in his
company. This company proved to
be one of the most outstanding
companies in the entire regiment,
and every one of the Pershing Rif
lemen received some honor before
the war was over.
One of the most exciting phases
of Pershing Rifles activities in
those days was the election of the
captain of the company, according
to Colonel Oury. The year of his
election there was a great political
fight, and practically the whole
campus became Interested In the
affair.
At that time the ' organization
was not a group of basic course
students. Only those who had at

ANNUAL GREEK BALL
Eddie Junqbluth and Leo
Beck Both Furnish
Dance Music.
HARRIET KEMMER SINGS
The second major social event
on the University of Nebraska
campus was held last night at the
Cornhusker hotel ballroom when
more than three hundred couples
danced at the Interfraternity ball,
Music was furnished by two popu
lar fifteen piece Lincoln dance
bands which played alternately
from opposite ends of the dance
floor.
The annual ball was sponsored
and presented by the Interfrater
nity council. Norman Galleher,
Bassett, headed the committee re
sponsible for the ball.
Eddie Jungbluth and his fifteen
piece band and Leo Beck and his
fifteen piece orchestra provided
the music alternately from the
south and north ends of the ball
room. Harriet Kruise Kemmer en
tertained during the intermission
period with a number of vocal se
lections.
Decorations Modernistic.
Black and light green drapes
from which were suspended sten
ciled placards bearing the names
of the fraternal groups on the
campus, were hung on the walls.
The motif was modernistic in de
sign. Two modernistic weeping
willow trees were placed at each
side of the room. The wall hang
ings were stepped up in strips to
the center where the center piece
in the form of a modernistic tree
was placed.
Special flood and spot lights
were used against the- dark hang
ings to obtain special effects. Nor
man Hoff. a graduate of the uni
versity this mid-term, was in
charge of the decorations.
The Kvam Sisters, singing trio.
and Lyle DeMoss, crooner, were
added features for the entertain
ment of the evening.
About- three hundred tickets
were sold prior to the ball and a
number of students obtained tick
ets at the door. The price for the
event was two dollars.
A feature of the ball was a re
quest program. Organizations and
individuals turned in request num
bers before the ball that were
played by the two orchestras.
Chalmers Graham had charge of
me registered preferences.
The Inter-fraternity ball, a tra

the second major social event of
the school year. The first event is

least wree years of drill were
elected to membership in the com
pany because the unit was a cadet
corps and not an R. O. T. C. divi
sion. At the time of elections of of
ficers, some difficulty always
arose as to the eligibility of voters,
but fraternity politics had nothing
to do with the choice of officers
or members, Colonel Oury said.
John J. Pershing, who was com
mandant at the university then,
was the founder of the organiza
tion. In 1805, the company which
had been established as company
A took the name of Varsity Rifles.
When Pershing left the university
in 1894, the name of the organiza
tion was changed to Pershing
Rifles.
Pershing introduced the uni
forms which were worn by mem
bers of the regiment and later of
the Pershinr Rifles. These uni
forms consisted of blue coats and
white duck trousers. The Pershlnj
Rifles group adopted the white
ducks in the spring of 1898.
At that time, one of the out
standing social affairs of the cam
pus was the annual Pershing Rifles
dance. Due to the fact that no par

Literary Magazine Publishes
Stories and Articles by
Nebraskans.
TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK
The next issue of the Prairie
Schooner, university literary mag
azine, will be published for circu
lation in about a week, according
to Dr. L. C. Wimberly, editor. This
number of the Schooner carries a
particularly large number-of arti
cles and stories by Nebraskans or
former Nebraskans and university
students.
The university students who will
have articles published ra this edi
tion of the Prairie Schooner are as
follows:
E. N. Fichter, jr., who offers
"Hill Boy"; Loren Eiseley, who has
a strong possibility of becoming a
popular American poet. Dr. Wim
berly says; Margaret canneii, wno
will have "A Plea for the Untar
nished Lady"; and Mart Sandoz,
who discusses "Folks-Say" in the
magazine. Miss Sandoz also has
two books in manuscript, one a
novel based on a Polish settlement
in Nebraska, the other a biograph
ical study of certain pioneers of
the sand hills country.
Other present Nebraska contrib
utors are: Paul Robert Beauth, of
Gothenburg, who offers a section
of his "Feboldiad"; William F.
Thompson, professor of English at
the University of Nebraska, who
contributes "Dog in the Manger,"
a column which allows Mr. Thomp
son to use bis imagination freely
and to express his opinions with
out reserve; Gilbert H. Doane, pro
fessor of bibliography in the uni
versity, who offers "Bibjiana";
Helen Magaret of Omaha, who
presents a poem; and Emma Mc
Rae of Omaha, who writes "Rec
ord of Sales."
"Bill" Thompson's article, "Dog
in the Manger," is both instruct
ing as well as amusing. Here is
a paragraph as an excerpt:
"With the advent of prohibition,
however, an astounding change
took place. . . delirious voyag
ers found themselves in the posi
tions of blind fish being caressed
by a pile driver, without even a
lavender wart-hog to brighten
their fleeting passage."
" . . .It soon transpired that
tbe phlegmatic citizens were hard
pressed for topics of conversation.
To them a moving van was simply
a conveyance, not a ring-tailed
dragon with salmon colored whis
kers. Similarly, a garden hose
was merely a useful appliance and
not a wine colored angleworm in
a green bathing suit."
Janet Piper, author in this num
ber of the Prairie Schooner of
"Three Poems," was a former stu
dent of the University of Nebraska
and now lives in Iowa City, la.
Libbie Breuer Scbolten of Gilroy,
Calif., translates from the Czech
a poem by Julius Zeyer. She for
merly lived in Lincoln and did

in Cliffside, Scottsville, Va., con

Coeds Display Interest in Physical
tducation Department; Bowling Is
Popular; Nebraska Ball Intrigues
By RUTH SCHILL.
A "sport hobby" is the ambition of most of Nebraska's1
coeds who find themselves surrounded by a wide and varied
program from which to make their choice. The intramural pro
grain, with its iiddcd interest of intersorority competition, is
attracting a greater number of girls every year. Like a huo
snowball this activily gets larger and larger, but it is effi
ciently nanoied Dy tne pnysicaio
education department.
Coed appreciation of the new
swimming pool is indicated by the
registration figures from the de
partment of physical education.
The number signing for this ac
tivity tops the list with a total of
254. Individual gymnastics poles
the next heaviest registration with
219 girls. Dancing comes third;
clogging, fourth; and volley ball
is fifth in line. Registration fig
ures are not complete, however,
as about 150 girls had registered
late and no count was made of
their preference.
Besides regular class work in
physical training the department
offers opportunity to all univer
sity women to partake in sports
of various kinds by means of tbe
intramural program. Miss Mabie
Lee, head of the department of
physical education, stated, "While
the immediate aim of our intra

aifo our intention to so interest
the girls that their participation

Old Clothing.
WILL CANVASS HOUSES
Fraternities and Sororities
Asked to Cooperate in
Campaign.
Participation of university stu
dents in the statewide program for
relief of the drouth stricken area
in northern Nebraska will be
sponsored by the Daily Nebraskan
under a plan to be put in effect
this week.
All organized houses will be can
vassed for clothing to be sent to
the needy counties thru the state
organization headed by Tax Com
missioner Smith. All fraternities
and sororities are asked to take up
the matter at their meetings Mon
day night and be able to report
whatever they have to contribute
Tuesday.
One representative in each house
will be appointed by the Nebraskan
to gather up the. available old
clothes. These representatives will
be named in Tuesday morning's
paper and are asked to report to
the Daily Nebraskan office at 3
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Describes Need.
According to Mr. Smith, there
remains a great need, especially for
food and clothing, in the stricken
area. In a report to the executive
committee of the chamber of com
merce Saturday said that 392 car
loads of feed, clothing and-food
have been shipped to the counties
with an average value of 5500 a
car. The continued need was em
phasized by Mr. Smith in pointing
out that aid would have to be given
until the farmers raised another
crop.
To date, shipments have con
sisted largely of stock feed and
only a small number of consign
ments of food and clothing for the
destitute families have been made.
Great need remains, Mr. Smith
says, for these.
A survey, Mr. Smith said Satur
day, by the American Legion early
in the fall showed that 1,000 Urn'-'
ilies with an average of five per
sons to a family were in need of
assistance. These peope will havo
to be taken care of at least until
another crop is harvested.
Board Meets Monday.
A meeting of the relief board
directors has been called for Mon
day. The Nebraskan's plan will be
reported to them at that time.
It is expected that a large quan
tity of old clothing will be collected
early this week, following a meet
ing of the house representatives
with the Daily Nebraskan Tuesday.
This will be Included in the next
