'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.

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.

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-

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.

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."

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. More wood was
brought, and the firs kept up to
