TWO APPOINTED
ON CORNHUSKER
Ruth Palmer and Archibald
Eddy Named Student
Life Editors
GROUP PICTURES WANTED
Archibald Eddy, '28, Lincoln, and
Ruth Palmer, '28, Holdrege, have
been appointed editors of the stu
dent life section of the 1928 Corn
husker, according to Dwight Wallace,
editor of the book. Both are seniors
in the School of Journalism and have
had experience on the staffs of stu
dent publications.
"Novelty and variety" is to be the
slogan for this section of the book.
Some new features are to be intro
duced which, the staff hopes, will fill
this division with a clean-cut tpe of
humor, interesting and representa
tive of Nebraska.
The paper to be used in this div
ision of the book will be entirely dif
ferent than has been previously used
while the amount of space to be given
to this section will probably be pro
portionately the same as in previous
years the type of thing to be worked
ut, as planned, will be so entirely
different in its scope that Cornhus
ker purchasers can well be assured,
the staff members point out, of a
most novel humor section.
Work on other divisions of the
book is well under waj editors re
Port. The senior and junior panels
a being proofed and checked. The
sorority and fraternity panels are
being made up and will soon be ready
to have the Greek group members
check names with the original group
lists.
Frederick Daly, editor of this sec
toon, declared last evening that or
ganizations should report to the cam
Pus studio for reservations before
Thursday February 2. This section is
to be made up within the next month
or so and it is imperative, Mr. Daly
Pointed out, that picture reservations
e made at once. ,

sophisticated fraternity row opened
its heart the other night, and wel
comed into its fold twin African in
fants abondoned in freezing weath
er on the front porch of the Phi
Gamma Delta house.
The twins, nestled each in an old
galosh, tagged with a crimson bow,
slept peacefully through the aband
onment, little realizing their cruel
plight until they were taken into the
house by the University of Washing
ton fraternity men, who' answered
the door after the bell had been
rung.
A single scrawled note, attached
to one of the infants, read, "Treat
them kindly." A thorough search
of th neighborhood, immediately in
stigated, failed to produce any per
sons connected with the little darkies.
"We are thoroughly astounded,"
one of the fraternity brothers said
in an exclusive interview, "as it is
rather a stupendous task for 40 fra
ternity men to undertake the rear
ing of two abandoned black infants.
But we will do our best"
And so, Phi Gamma Delta has in
its possession twin persian kittens,
which it is willing to offer for Tolo

BURNETT SPEAKS
AT ROTARY LUNCH
Acting Chancellor Discusses Vast
Production Versus Quality
From School View
The question of vast production
versus quality was the theme of the
address given by Acting Chancellor
E. A. Burnett, at the Rotary Club
luncheon Tuesday. Education Day
was observed by the Club at the
meeting.
In the last ten years the enroll
ment at' the university has increased
from a little over 4,200 to over 10,
000. The university has had to take
care of an additional 500 students
each year while already engaged to
the limits of its capacity. While
privately endowed colleges are limit
ing their number of students the tax
suported institution cannot do this.
Yale university, the speaker said,
limits its freshmen enrollment each
year to 850 while 2,000 enrolled at
the University of Nebraska last Sep
tember. The responsibility of the teacher
in handling students has increased 38
percent. It was shown that in the

Coach Oakes Calls
For Basket Players
An urgent call for all freshmen
who desire to play basketball was
made by Coach Bunny Onkos
Tuesday afternoon. Several games
have been scheduled, according to
the yearling coach, and more men
are needea at the daily workouts.
"Recent practice drills have
been attended by only a few
freshmen basketball players,"
Oakes explained. "I'll need more
men out- in order to pick a team
for the scheduled games," he concluded.
Derby Interest Waxes
As Steeds Gnash Bits
Excitement prevails in the "N"
Club "stables" as the time nears for
the Cornhusker Derby, a feature of
the Husker Intramural Carnival Fri
day evening. Captains of University
sport will drive in one of the great-'
est intramural races of all time.
In view of the great number of
steeds who will compete in this epic
of the turf, it has been found diffi
cult to pick any probable winners.
"Gunner Elliot, Rock Luff, and
Horse Holm," announced "Jug"
Brown yesterday, "have been placed
in the pool, while Barn Door goes on
the books as a stable entry only."
Intense interest in the Cornhusker
Derby is felt by university students,
and it will probably be one of the
high-lights of the carnival. The
prize for the race is, appropriately,
a derby. The "Cornhusker Derby"
is now on display in Ben Simon's
store.

Sports Carnival and Ball for
Weekend Cause the Period
To Be Postponed
Probation week for fraternities
will start Thursday Feb. 9 as a result
of action taken by members of the
Interfraternity Council for its post
ponement. It was discovered late yes
terday afternoon that probation
week, or informal initiation week,
was scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock
tomorrow evening, but with the Hus
ker Intramural Carnival and the In
terfraternity Ball this week-end the
postponement of probation week was
considered advisable by fraternities.
The prompt action of a member of
the Interfraternity Council in calling
Professor E. F. Schramm, faculty
representative on the council, who
started on a trip yesterday evening,
before he left Lincoln, made it pos
sible for probation week to be post
poned after the approval of fraterni
