FRESHMEN DATE FOR
CORNHUSKER BANQUET
But Girls Hesitate Between
Costume Party and An
nual Banquet.
Once again the University fresh
men have shown signs of greenness
when numerous Nebraska co-eds have
been continually asked for dates to
the annual Cornhusker banquet since
the announcement of the traditional
affair. Freshmen have been urged
throughout the week to "get date3
early" for the banquet by some col
lege jokers until the talk of the town
is concerned with dating for the
Cornhusker banquet.
The Friday night feast is for all
University men only, with the cor
responding co-eds' costume show at
the Armory.
Co-ed Not Admitted.
For those who are still in doubt
about the banquet, it might here be
stated that freshmen and their dates
will not be admitted to the Scottish
Rite Temple. The Cornhusker ban
quet has gradually become one of
the most cherished traditions of the
Husker institution and is held at the
end of each football season. This
year the banquet will be on the order
of a celebration of the new memorial
stadium and a rejoicing over the sue
cess of the football team together
with the winning of positions on all-
star elevens by Nebraska gridsters,
Freshmen who have already se
cured dates are urged to bring their
fellow classmates instead of their
flapper partners.

Disclose Appalling Condition of
Poverty Among College Students
"Who were the gentlemen talking
to you on the street corner, young
lady?"
"Oh, one was a student, and the
other didn't have any money, either."
Later:
"Who were the girls talking to you
on the street corner, sir?"
"Oh, one was a co-ed, and the
other was hungry, too."
Yes, that came from the vaude
ville stage, but it's n.ore sternly re
alistic than poetical anyway, we fear.
Listen:
We ended bur last downtown date
in an ice-cream parlor, as usual. We
were barely settled in our places
when our companion made herself
heard with a mono-syllable:
"Huh?"
When two minds are a telepathic
unity, many words are unnecessary.
We followed her gaze, which was
resting on two of our neighbors who
were distinguished by evening toess.

T. C, made an inspection of the uni
versity cadets yesterday. Companies
that had regular drill periods were
inspected on the parade grounds and
watched in execution of platoon
movements. The . indoor instruction
classes were visited also.
Major Peyton was well pleased
with the showing made by the regi
ment, and commented on the interest
taken in drill by the cadets, and
the state of efficiency reached in the
short time since last September.
The inspection was the routine
semi-annual inspection made by the
area R. 0. T. C. officer. Companies
observed by Major Peyton were
Company B in the morning and C

"Oh, that's what's the matter, is
it?" . .
We rebuked her for this crudity by
ignoring her cleverness, and became
diverted by the arrival of the re
freshments which the neighbors un
der discussion had ordered. Crushed
fruit, nuts, fruit ice-cream, sirups,
whipped cream, and an enormous
cherry were attempting to defy the
physical law that two objects cannot
occupy the same space at the same
time, in the combination which was
to furnish pastime for the young
lady.
Our friend watched the commenc
ing demolition for a thoughtful mo

turned to the menu.
"I wonder what that is," said she.
Our heart dropped many inches.

SANTA WILL APPEAR
AT PARTY SATURDAY
Childhood Hero to Mingle with
Students at All-university
Affair.
Santa Claus will pay his first an
nounced visit of the year to the Uni
versity Saturday night when he will
arrive nt the All-university party at
the Armory amidst a jingle of sleigh-
bells and bearing Christmas goodies

secret until the night of the party,
according to the plans made at a
meeting of the committee Tuesday
evening. He will arrive at the dance
during the early part of the evening
and will mingle with the students,
affording all present an opportunity
to see the greatest of all childhood
heroea.
Snow, which probably will be lack
ing at all other places in the city
Saturday night, will be present at
the party. Weather men on the en
tertainment committee have been
led by pangs of rheumatism in their
limbs to predict that the snowfall will
be quite heavy during the latter part
of the program although no snow is
expected until after the intermission.
The storm is riot expected to inter
fere with the program, it is even
hoped it will afford much enjoy
ment. Decorate Chriitmat Tree.
A large Christmas, tree will be dec
orated with tinsel and electric lights
and will occupy the center of the
floor. Smaller trees similarly adorned
will be placed around the hall. Christ
mas colors will be used in the decora
tions. As has been the custom at
former all-university parties this
year, the refreshments will be in
keeping with the occasion.
The chairmen for the party will
select their committees and will meet
with them Wednesday evening to
complete the final plans. A general
meeting of the All-university party
committee has been called by Chair
man Kenneth Cozier for Friday eve
ning. The following are members of the
University party decorating commit
tee for Saturday might: Laddimer
Hubka, chairman; Harry Chusing,

commodations can be made.
Banquet Attracts Attention.
The week-end affair is attracting
much attention on the campus but
thus far the ticket sale has been
slow. Plans have been made to make
the 1923 Cornhusker banquet the
"best yet" and it will be possible to
accommodate 1200 enthusiasts in the
dining room. A feast de luxe is
being arranged with Mrs. Rocke of
the Grand hotel preparing a three
course meal. The committee has set
the price at one dollar, which is at
nearly cost, and in order to purchase
the meal on the most economical
basis it is necessary to know just how
many will be present by Thursday.
All fraternity houses have been
requested to close their tables Fri
day night and attend the banquet.
Thirty tickets have been sent to
each fraternity house for the con
venience of students and may be ob
tained from the various presidents.
