ed nnother bombshell to their
1933 football schedule with the
signing of Clark Shaughnes

roons to appear on Memorial Sta
dium turf Sept. 23. The contract,
proposed by Coach Bible in Phila
delphia, and sanctioned Tuesday
by the Chicago U. athletic board,
completes the Huskers slate with
another excursion in search of Big
Ten victories.
Speaking of the completed sched

that because of the fine attendance
this year the public is entitled
to the best games possible and in
signing Chicago I firmly believe
that our 1935 schedule is the best
and certainly one of the most rep
resentative in Nebraska's football
history."
Chicago is comparatively a new

he stated, "which at a given period

"In 1918," Miss Smith said,

Since then the Big Sister board, as
it was named, has been growing
and expanding its work each year,

Convocation in Temple
This Morning.
PROGRAM BEGINS AT 11
Unique Works of Gertrude
Stein and Others Will
Be Discussed.
Relating the origins of mod
ernistic literature, Prof. Ber
nard Fay of the College e
France will appear in the sec
ond university general convo

published article of Professor Fay's
appearing in the Saturday Review
of Literature concerns this author.
The achievements of other modern,
writers, Sherwood Anderson,
Joyce, Valery, Proust, and Gide,
will be analyzed by the speaker.
Professor Fay is known to
Americans thru his famous biog
raphy: "Franklin, the Apostle of

tudes when war is declared," stated
Agans. "he may be a conscientious
rihinrtnr in other words, a do-
nothing; he may fight to save the
world for democracy; or ne may
present organized resistance."
Arrnniinp' to Mr. Aerans. there is
one way in which students may
show their interest in the avoid
ance of war, that is by presenting
their views as more than individ
uals. This can be accomplished cy
presenting organized opinion.
"Students represent a higher
level of learning, better opinions.
and a greater interest in me pres
ent day problems," continued
irn "Mm it is essential mac
