TONIGHT'S RALLY
Pep March Starts Motion at
6:45 P. M. in Front
of Temple.
Like a rolling snowball that
gets larger and gains momentum
as it rolls," declared Ted Bradley,
Innocent in charge of rallies, "the
tudent rally tonight will be one
of the largest, peppiest, and most
Important of the year." Em
phasizing that the "March on Mis
sou" will begin at the Temr-le
building promptly at 6:45, march
east on R to 16th street, and then
down 16th past fraternity and
sorority row to Vine street, Brad
ley expects the group to gather
many students as it marches.
Roll in Old Grads.
With old grads rolling in from
their respective towns for a full
day of vacation and memories of
the "days before," and with stu
dent enthusiasm already boiling
lustily for the many affairs of
the week end, this rally will be
one that will long remain in many
minds. The Corn Cobs, Tassels,
and the university band will be
on hand to help peak enthusiasm.
Shining brightly down on the mer
ry hundreds of pepsters, old man
moon will also do his part by
silvering the dramas of Tiger de
feat which will take place on
Greek house lawns.
Urging that especially the fresh
men be on hand, those who will
have to keep traditions after their
elders are gone, Bradley pointed
out that many teams that have
already played hard schedules are
likely to bog down on what is con
sidered to be just a little easier
team.
"After playing Minnesota, In
diana and Oklahoma, which have
all been hard fights, it would be
just the manner affairs would go
for us to be defeated by Missouri.

J. F. McDermott, vice president
of the First National Bank of Om

speaker for the annual Bizad col

nesday evening at the chamber of
commerce. The banquet is at 6:30
o'clock.
According to acting Dean O. R.
Martin of Bizad college, Mr. Mc
Dermott, who is in wide demand
as a speaker, is very entertaining
and witty.
"Mr. McDermott is a thoro stu
dent of economics, especially of
banking," -Professor Martin said
Thursday, "but he has maintained
a deep interest in economic prob
lems as a whole. He will give an
unusual naive talk the nature and
origin of money from the practical
rather than from the theorical
standpoint."
Tickets for the banquet will go
on sale Friday on the third floor
of Sosh for 65 cents. There will
be tables at each end of the third
floor corridor Friday and the first
part of next week where tickets
may be obtained.
All Bizad college students are
urged by Professor Martin to at

With the all-important election
date but a few days away, cam

crats find themselves frustrated in
their attempt at a final clash of
opinion in the form of a formal de
bate. According to the contestants
from the two camps no room is
available in which to hold the con
test, since the high school teach
ers convention is using all extra
rooms.
Both parties expressed the de
sire of holding the fray before the
election on Tuesday, because each
side feels that this encounter
should clinch some of the points
that have been made in the col
umns of the Nebraskan. The de
bate will probably" be held some
time Monday afternoon, depending
on the availability of a room.

Coon and his orchestra have

REGENTS
BOARD
CONSIDERS UNION
SITET
Meeting to Hear All Phases
of Construction Plans
Saturday.
Convening for their first meet
ing since the unofficial report of
the allocation of funds for a
student union building, university
Board of Regents will consider
the recommendation of the cam
pus planning board at 10 a, m.
Saturday.
Altho no definite plans have
been made, the board will
probably decide the location for
the new building as that is the
concern of the planning board's
report. L. L. Pike, university
publicity director stated that the
infrequency of the Regents' meet
ings will probably cause them to
discuss all phases of the union
building from te financing to
the type of structure.
Unless the official notice from
the government notifying of the
grant is received before the
Regents meet this morning, it
will be impossible for a date to be
set for the beginning of construc
tion. Chancellor E. A. Burnett
declared yesterday that the board
could discuss but could not accept
the grant unless the official
notice is received. The Chancellor
added that John P. Latenser, head
of the state division of the Public
Works Administration, has prom
ised to forward the notice as
soon as it is received.
"It is true that the university
is allowed ten days to accept or
reject the proposed grant,'" stated
Chancellor Burnett, "howevei
nothing definite has been stated
regarding the rumor that actuai
construction must begin within
thirty days after the acceptance."
When the board convenes, only
two sites for the building will be
under consideration, on the cornet
of 14th and R where Ellen Smith
hall now stands and on 12th and
S where the tennis courts are
located. The board will also
choose between two types of
structures for the building, one an

New Jersey Man Stresses
Close Relation of Social
Studies.
Emphasizing the close relations
between geography and social
studies, Dr. Roy W. Hatch, a New
Jersey instructor, addressed the
Nebraska chapter of the National
Council of Geography Teachers
yesterday. He referred specifically
to geography as a science basic to
the other subjects and also to the
necessity of understanding the
geography of European countries,
thinking of them as providing the
stage whereon the great dramas
of history have been played.
Dr. Hatch advised that in order
to understand the present situa
tion, one must understand the con
ditions under which social prob
lems, characteristic traditions,
and governmental attitudes have
developed. Without a rounded un
derstanding of all phases, one can't
possibly appreciate the significance
of present-day developments. On
this basis, he stated, there should
be no rigid barriers between the
fields of knowledge because in ac
tuality such barriers do not exist.
Superintendent R. E. Collins of
Waco, Neb., presided over the
meeting, which had about forty
members in attendance.
