START WORK ON
SENIOBPICTURES
Staff of Annual Asks Students
to Make Appointments
in Office.
JUNIORS MUST HAND IN
PROOFS BY TOMORROW
Work on the senior pictures for
the Cornhusker will begin Monday
gnd will continue for. two weeks. Ap
pointments can be made at the Corn
husker office at any time. Seniors
arc urged by the staff to make their
appointments at once, if possible, and
have their pictures taken during ex
amination week. By getting- their
sittings this week, they will avoid
the usual rush at the studio. No lists
be published during this week,
so that there will be plenty of time
for appointments. Over 100 pictures
were taken before the holidays and
the staff expects to get every senior
within the next two weeks.
Photograph No More J union.
All junior pictures that will be in
the book have been taken and no.
more appointments can be made by
juniors. Work on the mounting for
cuts will begin Tuesday. Over 500
jumors will appear in the Cornhusk
er. This is a great increase over the
number in former years, there being
only 410 in the section last year.
This year's class responded very well
to the plan of making appointments
nd the staff is pleased with the re
sults. All juniors who still have proofs
out must return them to Dole's stu
dio before Monday evening if they
wish to make their own choice of
the picture which is to, go in the
book. If the proofs are not returned
the staff will be forced to make the
selection.
All Cornhusker pictures are to be
token by February 2, according to
the staff. This includes all depart
ments of the book. Any organiza
tions that have not made appoint
ments for pictures must do so soon,
by calling the Cornhusker office.
The pictures are to be taken at the
eampus studio.
All sorority pictures should be
token by the middle of this week. Ap
pointments for these pictures can be'
made at either the Cornhusker of
fice or Dole's. Fraternity pictures
were finished last week, and are be
iug mounted. With the completion
of the senior section, most of the
pictures will have been taken.

Lccke Called Home
by Death of Father
Because of the death of his father
Roland "Gipp" Locke was called
home to North Platte Thursday. The
fact that his mother is left alone
makes the possibility of his return
to school doubtful.
The Husker track squad will be
without a sprinter, if he does not re
turn, ts Noble graduates at the mid
year, and Keith Lloyd, who was the
co-star of Noble in the sprints last
year, is now attending school at the
University of Southern California.

and fast work in broken field.
Postpone Rifle Match
Booked for This Week
No intercollegiate rifle matches
are scheduled for this week on ac
count of examinations. The match
with Cornell University that was
scheduled for this week has been
postponed.
The gallery is reserved this week
for straggling freshmen who have net
yet completed the required rifle
shooting in the freshman military
science course. This is the last
chance for delinquent freshmen to
clean the slate. The gallery is open
every day from 9 until 12 o'coek and
from 1 until 4. Failure to do the
required gallery shooting makes an
incomplete in the course.
START PLANNING FOR
JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM
Assess Students to Pay Class
bebt and Allow Holding
of Formal.
The recent ruling that juniors and
seniors are to Dav their class dues in
the registration line has allowed com
mittees to start plans for the annual
junior-senior prom. A rule made by
the committee on student organiza
tions that no organization having a
deficit in its treasury cte hold a so
cial function would have oarred the
junior-senior prom-had it not been
that the respective debts w'. in this
way be erased.
Among the three big University
functions, the junior-senior prom has
always been the one to put a climax
to the formal season. But few for
ma parties are held after this event.
The field for the upper class p-.rty
is now clear and committees from
both classes are making their pans.

Use of Oxygen in Smelting Results
In Cheaper Metals, Says Committee
(University NJews Service)
Radical changes in the methods of
metal manufacture resulting m
cheaper metals,' in conservation of
the metal wealth of the country by
the utilization of lower grade ores
for smelting, and in production of
cheaper artificial gas by the introduc
tion of oxygen in place of atmospher
ic air these; are some of the results
of investigation carried on by a spe
cial advisory committee of the United
States bureau of mines.
Prof. William L. DeBaufre, chair
man of the department of mechani
cal engineering at the University of
Nebraska, is a member of this com
mittee, which was charged with the
duty of eliminating waste and in
creasing efficiency in the utilization
of minerals by the use of oxygen in
metallurgical processes. This com
mittee completed the thirteenth an

HUSKERS LOSE TO
OKLAHOMA 32-20
With Nebraska Trailing . One
Point at Half, Sooner De
fense Tightens.
IS THIRD CONSECUTIVE
VALLEY BASKET DEFEAT
(Special to the Nebraskan.)
NORMAN, Okla., Jan. 19. Trail
ing by one point at the half, the
Cornhuskers failed to weather a ter
rific Sooner onsaught in the second
half, and went down to defeat, 32-20
here tonight. Coupled with the de
feat at the hands of Kansas 19-18
Friday evening, this makes the third
consecutive Missouri Valley basket
ball defeat for the Husker squad.
The game was bitterly fought with
neither side possessing the advantage
in the first half. Oklahoma tightened
up on the defensive in the final pe
riod and found the Husker basket for
17 points, holding Nebraska to 6
points.
Wallace, Sooner guard, was the in
dividual star of the game. His brilli
ant floor work and basket shooting
netted Oklahoma five field goals and
a free throw.
Wheeler, lanky center of the Okla
homa five, nearly equaled the mark
of Wallace when he tossed in four
fied goals and two free throws for a
total of 10 points. Wheeler was one
of the fastest men on the floor.
Captain Usher was the main stay
of the visitors. Time and again he
broke ujl threatening Oklahoma of
fensive moves by sheer speed. Per
sonal fouls were plentiful, Oklahoma
drawing 12 and Nebraska 6.
Cozier ran up 6 points for the
Huskers. Beerkle and Black each had
a try at the foward position, Beerkle
getting a basket, and Black making
a free throw.
The close defensive work of the
Oklahoma squad, coupled with the.
failure of the Nebraska men to con
nect well with the hoop in the last
half, was responsible for the defeat
of the Huskers. The Sooners rolled
up 17 points in the final frame; the
Scarlet and Cream five getting 6.

of steel, the manufacture of artifi
cial gas, and the blast furnace smelt
ing of ferromanganese. Oxygen,
popular chiefly for breathing, may
bring a revolution in metal processes,
this report shows.
Decrease Coslf Increaie Output.
As an example of the savings made
possible by the research of the com
mittee, Professor DeBaufre points
out it will be practicable to increase
the oxygen of the blast 21 per cent
to 31 per cent, and that this en
riched blast, when fed to furnaces
cold, will increase the production of
the furnaces by 18 per cent and de
crease costs by 6.7 per cent, Not
only will cost be decreased but the
output per furnace will also be in
creased, trouble in the smelting can
be more readily located and remedied
