INDIANA U STARTS E 'The Bored Walk' Is Title Of Humor Sheet at Hoosier School. Nebraska is not the only school coming out with a new humor, or revived humor magazine as the following dispatch from Blooming ton, Ind.. indicates. "The Bored Walk," Indiana uni versity's new humor publication, will be placed on sale at all fra ternity and sorority houses, build ings on the campus and downtown news stands today, Bernard Nord berg, '33, editor, announced last night. Representatives of the local fra ternities and sororities will have charge of the sales in the houses, he said, while student salesmen will have copies for sale in Kirk wood hall, the Library, Commerce building and the women's gym nasium. In addition there will be six salesmen about the campus. University students in Indian apolis will have an opportunity to obtain the magazine at the nurses' home, the medical school and the extension center. News stands and drug stores in Indianapolis also will have copies of the publi cation for sale. Three Students Honored. Three outstanding university students are included in the "Hall of Fame," one of the features of the first eduition. A short, hu morous article, "Ear Muffs for Lawnmowers," by Andree Bren ner in prominently displayed. "Borings," a page of campus gossip, has details of the Speedball game between the Third street and the Quad squads. The true story of the death of Julius Caesar also is told in the publication. Humor from other campus is included through the exchange system. STUDENT DESCRIBES THE SENSATION OF VIEWING MILES OF NEBRASKA PRAIRIE FROM STATE CAPITOL'S TOWER, t Continued from Page 1.) paneled windows of tinted glass, through which the sun's rays cast modernistic designs on a tile floor. The high domed ceiling produces an echoing hush and a long chain descending from it supports a prismic chandelier. The four doors lead through anterooms to separate balconies on each of the four face3 of the tower. The four views impress one with the enormous combina tion of depth and distance, broad ening the horizon to include, seem ingly, the whole state. On all sides br-'low are tiny mortals, hurrying nbout like ants; small, moving yellow boxes the busses: a hop ping street car; and slanting roofs of match box houses in a kaleide scope of colors. Industrial View. To the south the smoke of a thousand fires drifting from chim neys; a red 'N' within a white circle painted on a roof; Gooch's mill, a hospital, the penitentiary standing out dimly in the dis tance; the white steam of a train burorwing through the gray of the horizon. To the west construc tion work on last wing or capitoi, with derircks reaching up in their small way; a stubble field . of smoke stacks rising from the in dustrial center; railroad tracks extending like tentacles into -the distance. To the north office buildings, tall from the street, but far below now; a miniature golf course, like the modernistic work of an eccen tric artist; university campus, with tiny things crawling over drill field; an arctic wind wailing and chilling. To the east gleaming, black ice on a skating rink; new bricks of the veterans hospital contrasting with the ancient spire of Cotner college; college of agri culture buildings barely visible. Step and Double Step Back in the tower room, warmth soon dispels the chill of the wind, and the journey continues down ward by way of the stairs. The single flight descends steeply for ten floors, forming a triangular pit of hazy depth. Each floor con tains numerous office rooms in various stages of occupancy. The tenth story is one great sunny room, to be used by the State His torical society. The fourth floor constitutes the uppermost balcony of the enor mous center hall. Peering over the balustrade through the marble columns, one can see the magnifi cent chandelier, suspended by a massive chain from the mosaic ceiling above. The symbolic fig ures are penciled clearly on the floor far below. One finds time getting short the elevators will run only a few minutes longer. Tho rest of the trip downward is quickly negotiated, returning once - 1- u A Himenslnn. hori- more 10 me " zontal. LEARN TO DANCE rn teach you to lead In on lesson. nornlno. afternoon and I even.no. Ball Boom and Tap. MRS. LUELLA WILLIAMS COEDS ORGANIZE IN BEHALF OF CIGARET Housewives Stir Up Hornets' Nest As They Launch Anti-Smoke Drive. (The Minnesota Dally.) Three Boston housewives who launched a "national" anti-smoking league for women may find they have intruded upon a hornets' nest. Rumors have been current that college girls planned to organize a defensive organization and, as it were, lay down a smoke screen against the efforts of the Boston ladies to ban the clgaret from the boudoir. A nucleus of the new group was revealed with the formation of the Women's Independence league, comprising a number of girl stu dents at the Museum of Fine Arts here. The independence league is dedicated to the principle that a good cigaret is a smoke, and not the thing of evil pictured by the three dauntless housewives. Make Own Rules. "Out here at Wellesley," Bald Mrs. Mary C. Young, dean of women, "the smokers have made their own regulations. They may smoke in the Alumnae hall, on the shores of Lake Waban and in the village tea roms, though not in dormitories nor on the streets. The non-smokers are not bothered, so all are satisfied. Other women's colleges, includ ing Smith, Radcliffe and Mount Holyoke, are ignoring the no smoking campaign, statements from their faculty representatives indicated. Women students In Northwest ern university, one of the middle west's largest coeducational insti tutions mav smoke ciearettes any- Lwhere they wish except in dormi tories, me aean 01 women a umwe said today. "We have no rule against coeds smoking on the streets," a state ment from the office of Dean Florence S. Robnett announced. "Even the rule against smoking in dormitories is a house rather than a university order." STUDENTS STATE OPINIONS ABOUT ENFORCED' DRILL (Continued from Page 1.) would necessarily be an indication of the general sentiment of the student body. Rather it would be an expression of the opinions of individual members of that body." Robert Kelly, president of the Student council declared that he was personally opposed to com pulsory military drill, largely be cause it is a useless waste of time and money. ' Kelly Emphatic. "I can see no justification for making military drill a compul sory course," Kelly said. "While I feel that the student body should make some move to take action against it I do not believe a vote of the Student council would indi cate the true feelings of the entire student body. Of course the Stu dent council is elected as a repre sentative group. I still believe that a vote on compulsiry drill would indicate only the opinion of the council's members and not student opinion." Otis Detrick, enrolled in the mil itary department's advance train ing course, asserted that he was very much in favor of compulsory military drill. His stand was that very few students would have an incentive to take advanced drill if they were not at first forced to take the basic course. "Compulsory military drill is a good thing for the students and for our country," Detrick opin ioned. "The real value of R. O. T. C. lies in the number of officers which are turned out from its ad vance course. If it were not com pulsory there would be a large number of students who would not take drill, even though they might have liked it. The chances are that, had they been forced to take it, they would have been inspired to take the advanced course which is the most valuable part of drill." As far as general student sentiment goes, however, I believe the major ity of students are against com pulsory drill. The main reason for this, it seems to me, is because they lack even the ambition to get into a drill suit once a week." BIZ AD DEAN DEFENDS COLLEGE GRADUATES (Continued from Page 1.) dredge's main criticism of the av erage graduate had to deal with the fact that most of them had ceased to think and were some times unwilling to learn over again. "We cannot blame the col leges for such conditions, but rather the types of men which elect to receive a college educa tion." L. E. Hurtz, Omaha declared that it was the survival cf the fit test in the business world today. "The college does give a man a chance to become broadened and for this reason, a college educa tion is to be desired. The factors that make for success, are. how- Latest Style Tuxedos to Rent $2.50 Model Cleaners 2105 0 St. B5262 Mid-Winter Graduation Gifts Buy Now at January Sale Prices. HALLETT University Jeweler Established 1871 117 So. 12 St. ever, ability, Industry, honesty, ap plication and opportunity." Prof. L. E. Crowe discussed cer tain odd facts about standardiza tion. According to Professor Crowe, even tho the dairy depart ment as carefully standardized the fat content of their ice cream mixes ,they find the analysis re port shows the product to be sometimes short of the 14 percent butterfat requirement. Strange Ulscovery "I want to be very careful In drawing conclusions from charts drawn from analysis testa of your ice cream," Mr. Crowe said, "but indications are that we cannot ex pect to find our tests of the frozen ice cream to agree too closely with that percent of fat calculated to be contained in the mix." In explaining the part that ice cream has as a modern food and to show that it can be rightfully classed as such, Prof. I. L. Hath away, instructor in the dairy de partment, described the compon ent parts of an adequate diet. Wa ter, oxygen, proteins, ash, carbo hydrates, fats and vitamins are es sential elements that must be found in our diet if normal growth is to follow, Professor Hathaway said. He showed specimens of rats demonstrating the abnormaltles In bodily development and disease as a result of an improper diet. Ice Cream Is Food "Ice cream is a food and does aid in securing health because it does supply the necessary elements that we must have for our body," he said. "It is a food that furnishes a certain amount of calcium, a chemical most lacking in our mod ern diets. It further is high in en ergy producing substances and some go so far as to say that ice cream produces psychic factors that greatly aid in digestion. We ktfow that the cleanliness of the food, as far as bacteria is con cerned is very high, since it is thoroly cooked and later kept frozen while it is being used." Prof. E. L. Reichart, in discuss ing the ice cream manufacturing processes with the producers, said that of the various factors affect ing the quality of the finished ice cream, those processes which take place in the freezer have received the least attention. Experiment Necessary "Most experimental work in this industry," he said, "has preceded freezing." The factors often con sidered trivial by the average plant man have considerable influence on the behavior of the mix at the freezer, especially when the time necessary to incorporate the de sired over-run is considered im portant." Mr. Reichert added that the university intended to keep on studying of factors of mix acidity at freezing time, the effect of milk solids and minerals on the behav ior of the mix in the freezer and similar factors, affecting freezing conditions. After the noon luncheon, other addresses by instructors were heard, among them Prof. T. B. Robb, of the business administra tion college, who spoke on "Eco nomic Cycles and Their Influence on Business." Prof. P. A. Downs of the dairy department reported the tests of ice cream submitted by nineteen manufacturers over the state. Receive Samples "It has been the practice since 1923 for different producers over the state to send in samples of their product to be tested by us and this year we have seventeen samples of strawberry and nine teen samples of vanilla ice cream. They show average quality, al though a marked difference was noticed in the variation of color of the strawberry ice cream, which is governed largely by the fancy of the different communities." The product, he said, was tested for fat, solids and bacteria evidence. A round table discussion closed the convention. During his address, dealing with the economic cycles, Professor Robb said that the ordinary index of commodity prices was not as accurate as it might be, since it generally followed behind the changes in business, instead of ahead of them. He added that the speculative market generally changed first, up or down, in the business cycle, while the general business activity and finally the credit situation, changed later. GRAY.

RED KRAUSE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS AT THE SILVER BALLROOM HOTEL LINDELL Are Playing Friday Night ALPHA CHI SIGMA Saturday Night GAMMA PHI BETA Highlights in Campus History About twenty-five men appeared on the football practice field by the afternoon of Sept. 17, 1902. The daily commented upon a turn out that was to play through a perfect season, taking every game; in this fashion: "The gridiron is again the scene of activity. The men are getting to work early. As early as Sept. 8 several men were in the field, and the number has been growing steadily until there are now about twenty-five. Old players are few. Westover, Shedd and Maloney have appeared and are at work. Ringer is on the field, but his knee is still stiff from injuries which he received last year. "When asked about the pros pects for a good team, Coach Booth said that present prospects are not very encouraging, due to a lack of experienced men." The prospects grew Bteadily bet ter, however, to. wind up, at last, with a big celebration, and a red ink special edition of The Dally Nebraskan. First the squad cleaned Lincoln high and alumni, 26 to 0. Next came Doane college; Ne braska won, 81 to 0. Colorado was downed at Boul der, 10 to 0. Grinnell fell before the Huskers at Lincoln, 17 to 0. Next in order, the Minnesota Gophers. With a victorious team and prospects for a 100 percent season improving, school spirit ran higher than ever before. A crowd of enthusiastic rooters saw the team depart for Minnesota. The story of the game is told tinder scare heads in a special edi tion of the Daily, printed entirely in red ink. "GOPHERS ARE WALLOPED." "Nebraskans Too Strong for Minnesotans The Daily Nebras kan Publishes Continuous Bulle tins of the Game How it was won." Nebraska 6, Minnesota 0." Account of Game. "After one of the most exciting contests in the history of Nebraska football, the proud and confident Gophers had their scalps peeled by the valiant Cornhuskers. Minne sota was outplayed at every point, but they managed to keep the game in doubt until the last four minutes of play. Three-fourths of the time the ball remained in Minnesota- territory, with the Corn buskers steadily pursuing the re treating XSophers. Time after time the twenty or twenty-five yard line was reached but the wearers of the moron and gold would take a brace and gain possession of the ball. Three time3 Benedict, Nebraska's doughty quarterback, tried for goals from the field on the thirty five or forty yard line, but each time he missed by only a few inches. "For continual reports of the game The Daily Nebraskan estab lished a bulletin board on the front steps of Nebraska hall, and the large crowd that soon assembled received constant information on the progress of the game. After the Lincoln-Omaha contest on Ne braska field, a large percent of the crowd remained to hear the results from Minnesota. The most intense excitement prevailed, and by the time the long hoped for news ar rived everybody was in a condition to give it the attention it deserved. Pandemonium reigned and stu dents, janitors, sedate professors and dignified seniors vied with each other in seeing how much noise each could make. Imme diately the way of celebration taught by Minnesota herself wag used to proclaim her downfall, and by the time the news of the goal arrived the enthusiasts were ready to add six to the prolonged and deafening "1-2-3 1-5." A box on the front page ex plained, in heavy red type, "To day's Celebration." Team Arrives. "The team arrives at 10:15," it said, "over the B. and M.

The rooters' ceelbratlon, con ducted somewhat as an old time shirt tail parade, was described in detail: "Rooters' Celebration." "Varsity Has a Jubilee Time With Parade and Bonfire Fun With a Mule Team Street Car." "The old time celebration was on at 7 o'clock. A column was formed of lines of students headed by bandsmen. The air was split with the resounding varsity ye lb. The good old time song filled In between. By the time the column was again headed toward the uni versity there were between 1,000 and 1,500 men in line. Crowd Visits Stores. "The crowd visited several stores, in the 'lockstep' chain, and forced both clerks and customers upon and behind the counters. The Lincoln hotel was also visited. Both old and new students joined in and professors looked longingly upon the surging, yelling mass of en thusiastic men "The procession was headed for the Oliver theatre, but disbanded upon reaching the doors and scat tered down alleys and side streets to pick up all the material avail able as fire wood for the campus bonfire." An "old alumni" account of the parade differs from the above story in but one respect. Accord ing to two alumni, present at th Oliver with the parade, the band did not scatter down the alleys, but split three ways and invaded the Oliver theater (now the Lib erty); one group In the main doors, one up on the stage by the side entrance, and one upstairs to the balcony. The three crowds stopped the show, threw paper and pop-corn sacks, gave some enthu siastic yells and a little current history of the Minnesota boys, and departed as they had come. "Several wagons were secured," continues the Nebraskan's tale, "and were tilled with boxes, bar rels and crates, and pulled at a run through the streets on their way to the gridiron, where tha fire was to be built. "At 8 o'clock all kinds of boxes, barrels, and rubbish began to ar rive on the scene. This materia was piled up and propped on all sides until it reached a heigh of about twenty-five feet; then came cries of 'touch it off; touch it off which mingled with the warning to 'hold on' and 'cut it out,' as the tar barrels were not yet on the site. The fire was lighted, how ever, and the flames were soon leaping high and driving the dense crowd of shouting students back toward the wire fence. "Immediately they joined hands and circled about the flames, shouting and dancing. Fill Grandstand. "Meantime, the grandstand and bleachers were filling with "co eds," who were also enthusiastic. As the flames lighted up the whole field tho university yell was given again and again.
