Sew Directory
BY ART WOLF.
"What's in a name?" says Bill
Shakespeare or the P r a 1 r ie
Schooner or some one. That crack
was made a long time ago but who
ever said it should have seen the
1930-31 student directory for their
answer.
In that remarkable little volume
we have long names, short names,
funny names, town's names, ani
mal's Tames, and faculty mem
bers' names. We have a menagerie,
a map of the world, a color
scheme, a nautical glossary, and
so on far into the night.
The first name in the book is
Lloyd Aabel. The last name is
Gladys Zutter. Among the first
names in the book is Amen and it
usually comes at the last. The
longest name in the directory this
year is Lyle Lautenschlager.
In the zoo there is a Fox. a
Wolf, a Lyon, a Crow, a Campbell,!
a Bird, 'a Traut, a Bull, a Jakl, a
Henn. a Gibbon, and a Hare. Then,
too, there is a Hunter. Somewhere
in the book there is a Brewer and
somewhere there is Beer.
There is France and England,
and Holland and Ireland. There
are all the colors of the rainbow
and some others. Among them are
Black, Redd, White, Green, Gray,
Brown, and Blue. Amos is there
but not Andy. There is a House
and a Holm. There are Husbands
but no wives.
We have Winter and Summer,
Snow and Rai.1 and Frost. We
have Day and Knight. There are
Sailors, Sayles, Scows, Foggs,
Hatches, Rowes, Orrs, Kruises,
Cooks, and Manns. There are
Nickels and Pennys. Even the edi
tor of the directory, Eddie Faulk
ner, has his name in the book this
year.
Now, what's in a name? The
answer, of course, is letters.

Largest in History.
The structure is the largest in
the history of the school and
flames will light the way for ar
riving Tiger fans and Husker
grads for miles around. The poles
are forty feet apart at the bottom
and the center pole is fifty feet
high and is topped by a block and
tackle which will be used to pull
material to the top of the stack.
Strong wires guy the center pole
to the four outside poles and cross
wires have been stretched from
pole to pole to hold the material in
place until time to set off the fire.
Asks Everyone to Aid.
Williams is asking every student
to lend his aid in filling up the
huge space for the blaze. "If every
student would bring one box with
him every time he came to school
it would not be long until we had
a sufficient amount," he said.
"Nearly every business house in
Lincoln has offered to contribute
material to the colossal blaze so
students should have no trouble in
obtaining . boxes and barrels and
paper for it. Two trucks will be
used in gathering material today.

POSSIBILITIES OF
NEBRASKA HAVING
POLO TEAM SEEN
Possibility of a university polo
team was seen Wednesday with
the statement by W. J. Behn,
cadet colonel, that members of
the R. O. T. C. regiment are ad
vocating the formation of such a
team. It is understood that the
movement has the support of the
military department.
Students who are advocating
the polo team propose to have
inter-fraternity polo matches and
also mutches between the Uni
versity of Nebraska, Cotner, Wes
leyan and the college of agricul
ture. Other schools in the Big
Six which have polo teams are
Oklahoma and Missouri.
The rental for the use of horses
as set by a local riding academy
is $1 an hour, and 50 cents a
chukker. A chukker is a period
of play in pony polo. Mallets and
balls would be furnished by the
riding academy.
HUSKlWTLE
FOR BELL SATURDAY
Traditional Delt-Phi Delt
Gong Now Trophy in
Gridiron Clash.
IS HELD BY NEBRASKA
The annual Missouri-Nebraska
game Saturday will find the two
schools fighting not only for vic
tory, but for the possession of the
Tiger-Husker victory bell. It is
hoped by members of both schools
that this tradition which was
started a few years ago will come
to have the significance of the
"Little brown jug" which Michigan
and Minesota battle for er.ch year
on the gridiron.
Charles J. Hughes, president of
QEBH. senior mens honorary so
ciety at Missouri, in a letter to the
Innocents society said, "This has
become quite a tradition here at
Missouri and we want to keep it so.
After all the spirit of rivalry that
is worked up in our annual clash
is wonderful, but ' the fact that
there is something to be gained or
lost materially certainly adds more
enthusiasm and a spirit of clean
sportsmanship to both schools."
Nebraska Has Bell.
It is olanned bv members who
are in charge of the rally Friday
night, to ring the bell at the home
coming . bonfire. At the present
time the bell is in the possession
of the 'N' club. Nebraska won the
annual game in 1928. and the 1929
encounter ended in a 7-7 tie, giving
Nebraska the privilege of keeping
the bell last year.
During the first half of the Missouri-Nebraska
game the bell will
be placed in front of the Nebraska
cheering section. Between halves
of the game the president of the
student council, Innocents, Corn
Cobs and Tassels will carry the
bell to the middle of tL field
where they will meet a similar
group from the University of Mis
souri. Together they will officially
ring the traditional bell.
After the official ringing of the
bell it will be brought back and
again placed in front of the Ne-.
hra.ka stands. If Nebraska wins
the game the school will be allowed
to retain possession of the bell. If
Missouri is victorious ine pen wui
officially be given to Tiger repre
sentatives following the game.
Bell Caused Battles.
Tha Vuaii itaplf was the cause of
many bloody encounters in days
gone iDy. it was ongmauy u
as the Delt-Phi Delt bell, and was
taken by members of the two fra
ternities from a church in Seward
years ago. Later the group of
men who had taken the bell moved
into their respective fraternity
houses, and the fights over the bell
began. First one fraternity would
take it from the other, and then
the process would be reversed.
The last fight over the bell, some
four years ago, ended with consid
orxhlo hrpakine of furniture and
riihP nt the Lincoln hotel, where
the Phi Delta were having a ban
quet. In order to avoid future en
counters, the two fraternities do
nated it as a trophy for the annual
Missouri-Nebraska game.

POLISCI DEPARTMENT
RECEIVESjIFF BOOKS
59 Publications Presented
By Yale in Memory of
Taft, Hadley.
DR. SENNING COMMENTS
The political science department
has received a gift of fifty-nine se
lected publications from the Yale
University Press, to be used in the
department library. The gift was
made by George Parmly Day,
president of the Yale University
Press, and the president and fel
lows of Yale university.
The gift was presented in mem
ory of William Howard Taft,
B. A., Yale, 1878, and Arthur
Twining Hadley, B. A., Yale, 1876.
William Howard Taft. who at one
time was president of the United
States and later chief justice of
the supreme court, was one of the
first to interest himself actively in
the work of the Yale University
Press.
Mr. Day, in a letter to Chancel
lor Burnett said. "Naturally it is
our hope that the publications to
be sent to the department of po
litical science and government at
the university may be of enduring
service to the members of the de
partment and to many of those
studying under them, and thus
constitute a fitting memorial to
the ijatiuu'b chief justice and to
Yale's former president, each of
whom rendered public service as a
teacher as well as an administra
tor." Valuable Volumes.
One series of the books is known
as the Williamstown Institute of
Politics, and contains books by
both American and foreign au
thors. The other series deals with
the economic and social history of
the World war. This series is
made up of translated and
abridged articles, artd the Russian,
Netherlands and Japanese series.
All fields of political science are
covered by the books, descriptive,
theoretical fields, public adminis
tration, public law and interna
tional relations.
Dr. J. P. Sennlng, head of the
political science department, in
commenting upon the gift, de
clared that it constituted a most
valuable collection of literature.
"The department," Dr. Senning
said, "may consider itself most
fortunate to be selected from
among the best of institutions as
a repository, not only of what the
Yale Press has heretofore pub
lished, but what it will publish.
This la only the beginning of the
collection, because from time to
time we will receive new books
covering the field of political sci
ence, from the Yale University
Press."
The books will be used by polit
ical science students for study and
research purposes.

JAWHAWK ELEVEN IS
FLAYEDBYSTUDENTS
'Wolves' Out in Full Force
After Defeat at Hands
Of Cornhuskers.
FEW DEFEND K. U. TEAM
The Nebraska victory over the
Kansas Jayhawks to the tune of
16 to 0 not only upset the sport
dope bucket, but judging from the
"post mortems" appearing in the
University Daily Kansan, rather
upset the morale of the school. A
number of students taking ad
vantage of free speech and soli
cited campus opinion and have
proceedea to air their views on the
game in a sarcastic manner.
One student recommends that
Coach "Phog" Allen should take
away "at least two months' sal-
! ary" from each player. He goes on
further to say that after what
happened Saturday he is afraid
that he will never be able to face
his parents again, find as the last
j crowning insult, suggests that ii
tne Jaynawks don t beat Okla
homa, they should use boys from
ihe corrective gym class to play
Missouri.
Says Lacked Power.
Another writer using the non do
plume of "Inquirer," believes that
the Star's charge of "rank ama
teurism" sums it. up thoroughly
and completely. "They, (meaning
the Jayhawksi were slow, sleepy,
erratic, inconsistent, devoid of
power when it was needed, and
apparently not endowed with the
will to win." declares this un
known critic. Kansas, he declared,
is brilliant only in its good look
ing uniforms.
However, the Rock Chalk
school spirit is not altogether lack
ing as is shown by several other
letters whit;h were" published in
the school organ. One writer in
commenting upon the defeat
says, "Kansas lost to Nebraska
because it was just one of those
days that every athletic team of
any sort experiences occasionally.
It was one of those days when
everything goes wrong." The re
mainder of his criticism is directed
in no uncertain terms towards the
"wolveB" of the school.
"Wolves" Razzed.
The other correspondent also
laments the fact that the wolves
have escaped again, but during
the course of his letter he lets fly
a few left banded compliments at
the student body. He says, "The
poor sports Saturday were not in
the team; they were in the sa
dium." And as a basis for his ar
gument, he cites the instance of a
Kansas man leaving the field
after being replaced by a substi
tute, and the fans "booing" him
so loudly that the sound drowned
the applause he had received. "Is
this his reward," the writer asks,
"for spending three hours every
afternoon on the athletic field?"
For the most part the letters
carried the tsmn general loncs as
those above. Some unmercifully
"razzed" the team, the coaches
and the school. Others appar
ently in more pleasant frame of
mind, upheld the team, and turned
upon the "wolves'' with a vitrolio
pen. The consensus seems to be,
however, that Kansas just didn't
get the "breaks," And students al
ready are looking forward to an
other meeting with the Cornhusk
ers. Campus Calendar
