Drill Field Desert Is Newest Center
Of Traffic Congestion for Students
That great expanse which Ne
braska students know as the drill
field has in past years been a
wind blown stretch of uninhabited
soli. Here and there one might find
a mere company of Uncle Sam's
khackl-clad youths doing a squads
rifc.it to the command of the voices
of hoarse upperclassmen. Occas
ionally a venturesome co-ed would
brave the terrors of this desert
to reach a tennis court or a late

wide when the congestion gets

worn a path through this vast wil
derness. The path Is serving quite
well at the present time. It keeps
the freshmen from getting lost.
However it is necessary to look
sometimes toward a rainy day. We
do have unusual weather Just as
In California. The field will then
become a sea of mud and the re
sult will bo unpleasant to contem
plate. A Binall farm will bo tracked
Into Social Sciences building and
Andrews hall. Exactly 999 pair of
shoes will be ruined and as many
religions will be forsaken.
What will happen when It
snows? All paths through the wil
ilorneas will be obliterated and
some lost souls will be the result.
A ' cruel gust of wind from the
north will sweep through and bury
a caravan In a snowbank.
What shall be done about It?
The StudeDt Council should first
appoint a commission to Investi
gate It. Then they should 'ay
heel tax on every man, woman and
child In the University. The pro

Cross to maintain service stations
in the center of the field.

Game Mizzou, Pittsburgh
Sales Are Good
"The biggest football crowds in
the history of the University" is
the prediction of John K. Selleck,
who Is In charge of the sale of
football tickets.
"If we have good weather, there
will be a crowd of eight or nine
thousand people at the Montana
State-Nebraska game Saturday,
he continued. "Approximately
three-fourths of the seats have
been sold for the Missouri game,
and two-thirds of the seats have
been sold for the Pittsburgh game.
Although tickets for the Syracuse
and Kansas State games have not
been selling as swiftly as the
others, there are all Indications
that big crowds will attend them."
Tickets are being sold In Omaha,
at. Latch Brothers, and by the
Student Activities office In the
Coliseum. This distribution of the
sales makes it impossible to get
any accurate figures on the exact
sale up to date.

Blah! Eeeek! Bang! Howell

Squawk !
Hold your hats and don't stand
up. This is not an excerpt from
the history of the parrot on the
good ship "Treasure Island" or the
second hand phonograph In the
Moon, but part of the jargon that
Ray Ramsay, announcer for the
football games, hands out to the
cash customers.
Ramsay, before he Joined the
V. M. C. A. and the school of fine
arts, was coxwaln on the freshman
crew. So when John Selleck, Herb
Glsh and the other lads who have
office In the Coliseum, were look
ing around for someone to broad
cast the chronological story of the
game to the fans in the stadium,
the Job fell to Ray Hanisay.
System Begun Last Year
Last year with Ramsay as an
nouncer, the system was inaugur
ated at Cornhusker football games.
It met with such success from all
the fans, including the near
sighted people sitting in the last
row, that Ray has been signed for
tlie job again this fall.
Now getting down to the serious
aspect of the things, like taking
a Zo exam, this loud-speaker busi
ness is great and holds a future
as large as a harness maker in De
troit. Ray told nie yesterday, out
of the kindness of his heart, or
for need of something to do, how
lie really gets this service to the
fans.
From four sources, field glasses
held by himself, members of the
Cornhusker and visiting teams,
and a telephone connected with
the head linesman, this informa
tion comes. Of course he takes his
pick, and the Information given
him that sounds the most sensa

CADETWTiNT
PASSES HIGH MARK
Both Advanced and Basic
Courses Gain Favor
With Students
The It. O. T. C. unit at Ne
braska Is the largest ever. There
are one hundred and thirty-nine
more enrolled this year than any
year previously.
Both the advanced course and
the basic have more students this
year which fact shows that the
coming generation believes in do
ing their part In the plan of the
War Department to have a small
standing army but a large reserve
army highly trained and ready to
be called on to do their part in
case of emergency.
The first drill for the freshmen
with rifles was Monday, October 8,
when "A" Company under the
leadership of Cadet Captain Mer
rill Flood, checked out weapons.
The new cadets now have to watch
the alignment of a nine pound rifle
besides their marching.
The advanced course men are
playing with machine guns now.
The way they take them apart and
put them back together again one
would think they were trying to
find out what It is that makes the
wheels go around. One student was
heard calling the part named the
"accelerator the "speeder." He Is
learning fast.
Special Meeting of
Corn Cobs is Tonight
A special meeting of Corn
Cobs will be held tonight at

critics.
Thirza Faye, member of the Uni

feminine lead in the production
while Herbert Yetine, dramatic in

The "yell" rehearsal in the sta

tion that the Varsity will have
ample support from the cheering

It was not possible to seat every
student in his assigned seat, so
very few combinations could be
formulated with the reversible
cards. Instructions were given to
new students In the handling of the
cards. Everyone was given a
chrince to exercise his vocal chords
on some of the better known yells.
The presence of green ctps and

Due to the unusually large size of
the Coliseum for dances it has been
difficult in the past for everyone to
hear the music. This defect will he
remedied for the Kail Frolic by the
construction of canopies for both
orchestras. This will throw the
music across the floor instead of
far up into the celing.

addition of five persons to the
checking committee. Provisions
have been made in every respect
for a record crowd at the non-stop-hop."

Decorated booths will be placed
along the sides of the Coliseum
floor, under the balcony, for the

Members of the Botany 113 class

Switzerland Is about the size of
the Nebraska sand hills, said Mr.
Steiger, but has four million peo

Crossed by the Jura and Alps It
has two varying climates and many
degrees of each. As an example,
Mr. Steiger began walking at four
