STUDIOS RUSHED
AT LAST MINUTE
Late Students May Be Unable
To Get Pictures In Annual
Class Sections
A doubt as to whether or not all
of the Junior and Senior class pic
tures which are not yet taken can
be taken before Saturday, was ex
pressed yesterday by Alva C. Town
send, one of the official photograph
ers for the 1927 Cornhusker.
"There are so many of the pic
tures which have not yet been taken
that I doubt if the two studios will
be able to accomodate the last min
ute rush which will undoubtedly
come before the end of the week,"
he declared. And because of this
some of the students who wish to
have their pictures in may possibly
not have their wishPR Granted.
Up to this time the number of pic-
tures taken does not equal that tak-
en at the same time last year. The
classes are of about the same size
and this means that unless the mem
bers of the classes make their reser
vations soon, it will be too late.
Those people who have not yet
made their reservations will be un
able to get their pictures in the fra
ternity and sorority sections, as the
same pictures are used for the class
and the organization sections.

Museum Construction
Nearing Completion
Construction work on Morrill Hall
had proceeded far enough last week
so that it was possible to install radi
ators and turn on the heat on the
first two floors. The pouring of the
roof will be completed early this
week, and interior finishing is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
Old houses standing between Mor
rill Hall and the new Coliseum are
being torn down and the ground will
be cleared in a few weeks. The new
building will house the museum, the
department of geology, and the
School of Fine Arts.
Northwestern University Will Use
Films In American History Course
Northwestern University's depart
ment of history is about to begin the
teaching of American history with
the aid of motion pictures. Through
the generosity of Frank S. Cunning
ham, president of Butler Bros., Chi
cago, and a trustee of the university,
a set of films, eventually to be thirty-
three in number, has been purchased
and as soon as the projector arrives,
lectures will begin, with Dean James
A. James and Dr. Isaac J. Cox co
oneratine in the course. A special
lecture room, 107 Harris Hall, Evans-
ton campus, seating over 30U per-

LARGEST RALLY
IS FRIDAY NIGHT
Huge Pep Meeting, Greatest of
The Year, Planned onEve
Of Kaggie Game
TWIN RALLY NEXT WEEK
With only two football games on
the home field remaining, two huge
rallies are planned to give the Corn
husker eleven all the encouragement
possible. The pep meeting this week
for the Homecoming game with Kan
sas Aggies will be worthy of the tra
ditional battle which old Nebraska
graduates come back to see. The rally
for the New York contest will be In
reality for two games, as the team
leaves for Seattle to play Washing
ton within a half hour after the
game.
This Friday's game with the Ag
gies will have a crucial bearing on
the Valley standing, aside from the
fact that it is Homecoming. The
Kaggies have a dangerous team and
have been feared since the first of
the season.
Coliseum Place of Rally
The pep gathering Friday will be
in the Coliseum. Half an hour before
the meeting, flares will be sent up
to warn the students and Cornhusker
supporters that the time has come
to show the "Nebraska Fight". Pre
ceding the rally, the Corn Cobs with
a six piece band will visit every sor-
house on the campus and the
Tassels will visit the fraternity
houses. The attendance for the Home
coming rally is anticipated as the
largest at an indoor rally this season.
The following week, Huslcer sup
porters will have to cheer their war
riors against opponents on both
coasts. New York University plays
here and the Nebraska team leaves
immediately afterward for the Pacific
coast. The twin rally will take place
on the campus and will finish with
the annual torch parade to the hotel
where the New Yorkers will stop.
A memorial reception is planned
for Coach Meehan's first visit to Lin
coln. It is now planned that after the
game Vith New York, the football
fans will go directly to the station
and give the Huskers a send-off be
fore the trip to Seattle.

Today s (Question: What do you
think of fraternities and sororities as
part of the University social system
Where asked: In front of the Main
Library.
Arnold Lorentz, Bizad '30, Loup
City. "I am in favor of fraternities
and sororities. It gives students a
greater chance to enter social ac
tivities." Ted Ratcliff, Law '27, Central
City. "I am in favor of fraternities
and sororities as a part of the cam

it solves the university's problem of
housing and also promotes a good
fellowship that cannot be promoted
by any other means."
William Ledwich, Bizad '30, Lin-
col. "Fraternities and sororities
solve the problem of dormitories and
creates a feeling of brotherhood and
better social life."
Allam Champe, Bizad '30, Lincoln.

in perfecting this historical set. It
says in part:
"Before the first turn of the cam

Kaggie Mentor and Punter
The man who has developed thq
Kansas Aggies into perhaps the
strongest football team in the Mis
souri Valley is C. W. Bachman, for
mer Notre Dame player. "Give me a
heavy line, and I'll trim the Corn
huskers," Bachman has said re
peatedly. This year he has that line
he has been waiting for and next
Saturday he will attempt to make
good his prediction.
Candy Sellers Wanted
For Homecoming Game
Hazel Olds, concession manager
for the Woman's Athletic associa
tion announces that passes to the
homecoming game will be pro
cured for all girls who wish to
sell candy at the game. Since ac
tual selling time during the game
is limited, a huge staff of girls will
be necessary to supply the de
mands of the crowd. A poster has
been placed in the W. A. A. bul
letin board at the east entrance
of the armory.
Previous experience is unneces
sary as instructions will be given
upon reporting to the Stadium at
1:30 Saturday. Members of the
W. A. A. executive board are in
charge of the supply tables in the
hall.

that the milk could be kept in as san
itary a condition as it is possible to
keep milk.
The great punter of the Kansas
Aggies is "Chilo" Cochrane, one of

KAGGIE GAME TO
ATTRACT GRADS
Many University of Nebraska
Alumni Expected Here On
Homecoming Day
HOUSES TO DECORATE
Alumni of the University of Ne
braska are expected to take over
this city en masse next Saturday
when the annual homecoming day
football game and celebration in
their behalf is held by the university.
The principal event of the day is
the football game between the Kan
sas aggies and the Cornhuskers, per
haps the most important game of tHe
year in the Missouri Valley for it
will determine whether the Aggies
are to continue as an undefeated
team or the Cornhuskers will lose
their last chance to file their claim
on the Valley flng. The Huskers
have lost one game but they still
have a chance to cop the pennant on
the strength of the number of games
won and lost.
Decorations Planned
Fraternity houses at the university
will take on holiday appearances Sat
urday. Every organization is laying
plans for decorating in honor of the
alumni and the visiting opponents.
The streets of Lincoln also will be
bedecked with flags and the colors
of the Kaggies and the Huskers.
A number of organizations are
planning luncheons in honor of their
returning alumni, while evening
parties are also on the day's schedule.
The annual military carnival, a
make-yourself-at-home event where
all formalities are tossed to the winds
also is scheduled for the evening.
Y. W. C. A FUND
DRIVE IS SLOW
Team Members Work Hard To
Reach $1000 Mark; $800
Is Still Needed
"The student spirit in regard to
contributions to the University Y.
W. C. A. this year is poor" was the
opinion rendered by the team mem
bers at their luncheon Monday noon.
The report of the drive will be given
at Vespers Tuesday evening.
Many of the team members were
unable to keep their interviews with
the girls assigned to them on Monday
but it is believed that the bad weath
er was partly responsible for the
breaking of appointmnets. After 12
o'clock Monday the teams were al
lowed to solicit any girl on the cam
pus who has not yet contributed.
The thousand dollar mark has been
passed and it is expected that the
open soliciting yesterday evening and
this morning will yield a large per
centage of the remaining $800.00.
Chest Fund Is Cut
The reaching of the $1800.00 goal
is unusually important this year since
the annual gift of $1800.00 from the
Community Chest has been reduced
to $1200.00. In spite of the $600.00
cut the students of the campus were
not asked to contribute more than
the $1800.00 which was asked of
them last year. The Agricultural
college multiplied their annual gift
by four, raising over $200.00 instead
of the usual $50.00.
"I am quite hopeful of the re
sults" said Miss Erma Appleby, secre
tary of the University Y. W. C. A.
"since there is such a large number
of girls yet to be seen" The com
petition between the team captained
by Helen Clark and the one in charge
of Winifred Sain, is rapidly becom
ing keener. Yesterday Miss Clarke's
girls led by a margin of $40.00 which
has been reduced to $30.00. The
leading eleven has collected $110.00,
an approximate average of $10.00
for each member. The" members of
the Y. W. C. A. cabinet will be host
esses at the dinner given in honor
of the winning team to be held No
vember 17.
Special Dance Numbers
For Military Camrval
Joyce Ayres and his "Cheer
leaders" announce that they are
at work on some special numbers
to be played at the Military Carni
val Dance next Saturday night. As
a result of many requests, the
feature number for the evenia
will be the "New St. Louis Blues."
Aside from this, other musical sur
prises are ready for the coming
party in the form of unique com
binations, a variety of vocal selec
tions, and an abundant supply of
peppy melodies.
Appropriate uniforms have been
seemed for the occasion with the
intention of adding as much to the
spirit of the party as possible.
