Nebraska's little once by doutdc

The two said games appear on the
Cornhuskers' itinerary through Iowa

The Ames controversy dates back
several years. Two years ago. Ne

stood on a pretty good chance of cop

entered the Nebraska gym they won
the first battle but lost the last one

size of the Nebraska gymnasium of
bringing about their defeat, for the
following year they refused to play
on the armory boards and the two
schools failed to get together all sea

PRE MEDIC PRESIDENT
R. . Whiiham. was elected pres
ident of the pre-medic society for the
coming semester .at the first important
meeting of the organization fhis year,
held in Bessey hall Wednesday afer
noon. Other officers chosen were:
VoMer Vincent, vice-president; Roy
Swanson, secretary; and Allan! Fob
mm, secretary.
During the present semester, the so
ciety has been without any organiza
tion, because of conditions caused by
the war situation. Many of the pre
medics entered infantry officer's' train
ing camps, giving up their professional
turty. and consequently, the ranks
of the medics have been noticeably
depleted. Since the demobilization of
the S. A. T. C, however, prospects for
the society are considerably, improv
ed, and a successful semester under
the new president is assured.
Cornhusker Forever", Slogan Of "N"
Club Drive For New Songs and Yells
"Ralk-Chalk-Jayhawk." will ring for
ever in the ears of the American- col
lege students whenever the name of
Kansas is mentioned. But that's not
all Nebraska is going to have a new
teong and a liew yell that will gain its
place in the halls of fame if the Corn
husker athletes have anything to say
about it.
The "N" club at its last meeting
decided that Nebraska was in need of
some new songs and some new yells.
A committee consisting of William
Mackey. chairman, Arthur Yort and
Edward Ianpherc has been appointed
to conduct a campaign with the aim
of getting some brand new "thrill
ers." In other words the athletes decid
ed that they wanted something new to
rouse their spirits on tne gridiron, the
gym floor and the track. They are the
ones that should know about things of
this sort for it is they whom the yell
ing and the singing is supposed to en
thuse. ,
The athletic departmentvand the iN
club have decided to grant a life pass
fof all athletic events to the person

1919 Annual To Be Completed

Stories of Notable Deeds of Men

... i
The Cornhusker annual for 1919 will I
i.u v . ...u
pay special tribute to the Nebraska i
men who have made great sacrifices to i
serve their country. The staff Is plan-
ning to put the military section lirst
in the book. This will be one of the
largest and most important divisions
of the annual.
A special system is now being organ-
' 1... .f mt-l.ls.fe In1 1 L-lilnnl KtV-
tions will be given to those men who
have een decorated or cited for
bravery; those who have been wound--cd
and those who have made the su
preme sacrifice.
There will be pictures of as many of
these men as possible and short. In
teresting sketches of the university
life and service records of each one
will be pritten. Wherever any details
of the manner in which they were
wounded or killed, the battles in which
it occurred and the reasonsfordeo
oration or citation for bravery can be
secured, they will be given also.
Actual Reports of Incidents
These stories will be actual reports
as received by the relatives and
friends of our soldiers and, in many
Instances, the accounts of the men
themselves. They will have an unus
ual interest for those who knew these
men personally, and will bring the
scenes of the battle field more vividly
to mind than could the reports of
others.
The Cornhusker staff will greatly
yell. These offerings are to be put
on before the "N" club and judged by
them.
All this means that the athletes have
felt that the man or woman who can
write the best yell or the best song
is entitled to the same honor and
privilege as the themselves earn
by months of hard training.
They are persuaded that this
is' as great a service to the school as
the hard work that they do to bring
fame to' Nebraska and so they are giv
ing the winner a life pass.
There is no doubt that the Corn
huskers are in need ot a new song
as well as a new yell. The old "Corn
husker" is being worn out because it
lacks the melody and the charm that
a college song should possess. It is a
song that will probably Tiot be forgot
ten by Nebraskans who know it but
others are not so astounded by its
melody that they are compelled to
stand agape with admiration as many
Husker freshmen do upon hearing the
Kansas hymn for the first time.
What we want is a hymn that will
thrill us as the "Star Spangled Ban-
