Meeting of All Frosh Grid Men Is Called Choppy Khodes, Freshman fottball coach, has called a meet ing of all Freshman football candidates to take place In the N Club's rooms In the Coliseum at 7:30 p. m., Tuesday. Kosmet Klub Gets "Kick From Choruses Throwing no stones, but it seems that the Kosmet Klub pets more "kick" out of a year in Uni versity than any other organiza tion. With every new season the Klub calls for choruses. Ladies' and gentlemen of the ensemble. And all they have to do, appar ently, is kick. Last spring the campus was overwhelmed with remarks about the "Love Hater" pony chorus, trained by Kosmet Klub members. And now the call goes out for both men and women who can dance. Slight mention U made of vocal talent, for you see it s just a "musical" comedy. It Is hoped by village firemen and other interested onlookers, that the musical show will not be as "hot" as the "Love Hater" which occasioned the burning down of one of Lincoln's land marks. Judging from the fresh men girls seen In the Cornhusker hotel lobby during rush week, there should be a fair female chorus. After all, this chorus dancing does put one on his feet. With this attraction In mind new and old students should be. anxious to apply for positions on the choruses. No announcement has been made as yet about whether or not poli tics enter the choice o choruses. AG COLLEGE OFFERS L "Extension Methods" Under R. A.

The second Nebraska captain is "Slew" Campbell, leauer of Coach Henry Schulte's track team. Campbell's favorite Is the 440 yard dash and is figured on by track followers to help Nebraska cope the first title in the Big Six on the track.
