Responding 1o calls for pep for the KansnH Aggic-Nebraska
football panic of Saturday, I'liivcrsitj of Nebraska students
conducted an all day rally Friday. Starting at H o'clock in ihc
morning the rally gained momentum until it liecame a miniature
riot, breaking up classes and interfering with the official bus
iness of the university durHiR the forenoon.
Annroxlmatelv 1.000 students','
re thought to have participated
at one time or another tn the af
fair. The day's activities were en
tirely without organization and a
many a five distinct groups were
making building to building tours
at the same time.
Deans Have Meeting.
' Deans of the colleges, who had
planned to meet Friday afternoon
to discuss ' matters of summer
school finance. Investigated the
uprising. No definite action was
taken by the board of deans, al
though they asked for the publi
cation of a letter frem Herbert
D. Glsh. director of athletics, con
cerning the part taken by the ath
letic department tn the ra"v.
Organized rallies will tick, be al
lowed to start until after 5 o'clock
In the afternoon, hereafter, accord
ing to a letter sent by Dr. T. J.
Thompson, dean of atudent affairs,
to all members of the faculty Sat
urday. Thla does not forbid sing
ing in classes or between class pep
cessions.
Discounts Rumors.
Rumors to the effect that classes
would be held on Friday. Nov. 29,
were discounted by Dean Thomp
son. He stated that the report
concerning discontinuance of the
Innocents society, and the Corn
Cobs was without foundation. The
Friday matter, however, la still
under investigation.
Spirit for the game at Manhat
tan Saturday has been fostered
throughout the week by the ath
letic department and campus or
ganizations, including the Inno
cents society, senior men's honor
ary, and Corn Cobs, men's pep or
ganization. These three organs of
the university deny responsibility
for Friday's violent uproar on the
city campus.
Small Groups Gather.
Small groups congregated in
front of social sciences Friday
morning. From 8 to 9 o'clock
shouts of "rally" filtered through
the halls of social sciences, and at
the close of 8 o'clock classes the
throng gained in numbers. Many
students were under the false im
pression that no classes would be
held.
Shortly after 9 o'clock a Urge
body of hilarious students poured
out of the north door of social
sciences and dashed in mass form
ation across the drill field. An
drews hall was invaded and nearly
all classes were disrputed. Simul
taneously with this beginning an
other riot parade was started at
the law college with R. O. T. C.
students taking the lead.
Buildings in Uproar.
From that time until noon to
day nearly all buildings on the
city campus were in an uproar.
One glass door in social sciences
was broken by tla eliMt-breal.ers.
When doors were locked some
students resorted to climbing
through transoms to unlock them.
At 3 1:60 o'clock notices appeared
on several doors that classes were
called off for the day.
The Davis coffee shop acrou
'from the campus on R street was
the scene of collegiate sessions
throughout the day. A six piece
orchestra conducted an im
promptu dance program, in which
numerous entertainers took part.
Pep talks were given during the
day and until nearly 4 o'clock in
the afternoon the "Moon" was
jammed with hilarious university
men and women.
Sentiment Opposes.
Sentiment concerning the vio
lation of university rules and in
terference with classes was main
ly in opposition to the violent
conduct. Approximately 20 per
cent of the student body were
thought to be actively engaged in
the riot, th'.-igb some of these
took part without actually favor
ing the actions of the rebel lead
ers. "The students certainly worked
up a lot of enthusiasm and I
know it will have an effect on the
team." stated Dana X Bible, Ne
braska's head football coach Fri
day. "It can t help but stir them
up. .

cently held." The club has a mem

November 22, ll'2'A
To the Chancellor and the Hoard of Deans.
From the coaching and administrative staff of the de
partment of intercollegiate athletics.
The coaching and administrative staff of the athletic
depart incut is in favor of a live interest in our contests
upon the part of the whole school. This week mc felt thnt
the football team needed n tonic of a more intense interest
from the campus. To that end it was suggested to the
Innocents ami other leaders that between-class sinirs.be
organized and that an impromptu mass meeting be held
for the team Thursday afternoon after 4 o'clock on the
football field. This suggestion was entirely in keeping
with the traditional practices in past years before big
games.
We believe the Nebraska student body is the finest
in the country.
Apparently somewhere the fine get-together and pull
toethcr spirit of past years went wrong today. AVe regret
ibis matter gravely, for it not only barms the scholastic
activities of the university but it seriously harms tlx:
athletic interest.
We feel sure that t!ie students realize this matter
now. for we are doing everything possible upon our part
to inform them of our viewpoint.
We believe nhat a closer cooperation between the stu
dents, the faculty and all of us will surely avoid a repeti
tion of uch an unsatisfactory occurrence in the future.
Very respectfully submitted,

Thompson Explains Stand on Rally
Following investigation of Friday morning's ditturbanee of
classes by ttudent rallies. Dean T. J. Thompson issued a state
ment which hat been mailed to all members of the university
faculty. An exact copy of the faculty letter appears below.
To the Faculty:
r acuuy :
r information. Please read to your classes if you
deem it advisable.
For you
This office lias been asked to make a statement rela
tive to the class disturbance Friday morning. On October:
25 I sent a letter containing the following paragraph
regarding rallies to every organization on the campus:
" Rallies are apparently a recognized institution in
the I'niversity of Nebraska; however, they should not
be conducted in such a way as to conflict with the
, safety of traffic on the streets. If they occur on the
university campus, they should be conducted entirely
between classes for when they continue into the class
period they often seriousjy interfere with the proper
conductance of the class and too often engender dis
gust on the part of the instructors toward the object
of the rally. The university is very anxious to de
velop a fine, wholesome Nebraska spirit, but this can
only be done when the rights and privileges of all are
taken into account. Your cooperation is expected in
this matter."
Unfortunately the recent rally outburst doubtless had
its inception among those closely associated with athletics.
This, I feel, was thoughtlessly done, but the net results
are little different because of the fact.
The university through its administration and faculty,
has always given athletics staunch support To my own
knowledge the faculty to a man has always been more
than fair with individuals taking part on athletic teams.
There arc no actual or implied reasons why 15 percent of
the student body should allow itself to get into such an
abnormal psychological furore that it misuses, abuses, and
disrespectfully uses men who have spent long years in
the service of the University of Nebraska. This affront
is a shame and a disgrace upon the student body, for
these faculty men have a far greater interest in the wel
far of the institution than it is possible for an under
graduate to have, for it is their life, their strength, and
their realm, and to many of tbem to trespass upon their
privileges as instructors is to crush them. If intercollegiate
athletics means this, the question naturally arises, is it
worth the price 1
Eighty percent of the student body have no interest
in such rallies and I am sure that 50 percent of the stu
dents very much disapprove of them. The faculty to a
man, I believe, is convinced they, are qi.ite unnecessary
between classes as a spirit builder.' Suffice to say that
from this time forward organized rallies must be dispensed
with until after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Classes may
sing between class periods, but should an individual at
tempt to foment a class rally which disturbs classes ho
should be reported to the dean of his college and to this
office. This matter has been placed before the spirit
bui ding organizations of the student' body and they hac
promise i, and we expect, their fullest cooperation. Sucn
actions as were had last Friday defeat their own purpose
for they not only cast an unsavory atmosphere around the
whole student body but also reflect discreditably upon
athletics. This matter is still under investigation.
Yours
November 23, 1929.
truly.
T. J. Thompson,
dean of student affairs

to those who have supervised It.
The steamline has been built under
a new method of construction. The
pipes are set on rollers placed
every thirty feet, while every 300
feet there is what Is called an ex

damage to the pipe.
The tunnel through which this
pipe goes has been tiled and con
nected with the sewer for drain
age. The cement work has also
been designed to allow for drain
age. In this manner no water can
seep through to the pipes and
cause rust.
University power plant has been
bricked to the first floor level and
the heavy reinforced steel for the
boilers is in place. Two turbin
generators will arrive from Sche
nectady, N. Y about the middle
of December. The cooling tower
foundations have been poured and
work on this project will be fin

Scare Comei
Early.
The first score of the game cam
in the early minutes of play when
Nebraska forced the Aggie eleven
hack to its goal line and Cronklta's
attempted punt from behind Ma
Kh1 line was blocked by the
Hunker linemen. The last score of
the clash came in the final minutes
of the game when the McMlllln
crew was striving desperately to
overcome the lead of the foremoat .
team In the Big Six conference.
Weller was sent Into the game
after Nebraska had pushed the.
Aggie team back to Its l&-yard
line and a 15-yard penalty for trip

Aggies Make Fight. ""'
Coming back on the field in the
second half, it was evident that the
Aggies were going to make a great
fight for the title of Big Six cham
pions and conquerors of Nebraska.
A series of forward passes which
netted long gains for the Aggie
eleven brought the oval to the 4
yard line.
The field generalship of Ray Mc
Millln, Aggie quarterback, came
into play in the forward passing
attack launched Tiy Kansas State,
and the nephew of the Aggie coach
figured in on the majority Of the
forward flips. With the ball on the
4-yard line, McMlllln called for a
piny through right tackle with
himself carrying the oval. He hit
the right side of the Husker Hue
and crashed over the white marker
for the only Aggie score. Wtggen'a
attempted kick for the extra point v'.
was wide. v,
McBride Stars.
The spociacular work of Clark,
"Bud" McB.ide, Husker halfback,
was one of the most outstanding
features of the game. McBtide'a
driving work in hitting the Aggie
line, his sensational work at
breakink up and intercepting
pHHses was the necessary spark in
the Husker attack that brought
the second conference defeat to
Coach "Bo" McMUlin'a Kansas
State eleven. "Red" Young and
Captain George Farley were tha
two other outstanding luggers in
the Nebraska backfiald and both
accounted for a great amount of
Cornhusker yardage while the
puntlEg work of Young in the
opening quarter drove the Aggie
eleven deep within its territory
and accounted for the first Aggie
safety and Husker touchdown.
In the line the play of Raymond
Richards, Husker tackle who wna
missing from the Oklahoma game
with a broken nose, was outstand
ing, with the big Nebraska lines
man smearing Aggie plays time
after time, until the Purple backs
gave up the idea of hitting the Ne
braska line and resorted to the
aerial game.
Three Cogs Hold.
Richards, Dutch Koster and Fel
ber Maasdam were the three cogs
in the Cornhusker line that Vnade '
it next to impossible to make
gains through that wall.
A strong wind which blew down
from the north during the entire
afternoon of play made punting '
against it a difficult feat to per
form. Nebraska displayed Jta field
generalship and football smart
ness by punting during the quar
ters in which they had the wind at
their backs and drove the Aggies
back to their goal line on numer
ous occasions.
Rowley Inserted.
Claude Rowley was inserted
into the Cornhusker lineup late In
the openiifg half and displayed his
punting ability for tie few remain
ing minutes of the half. "Lew"
