LeRos signol, dean of the college of busi ness administration at the Univer sity of Nebraska. Dr. LeRossignol suggests two possible means of restoring this buying power of Europe which Is essential since western European nations have been the chief mar ket for United States surplus for years. The first suggestion has to do with the lowering of tariff bar rlera to international trade but since this is not likely to come for quite some time, he selecta aa an alternative complete or at least partial cancellation of war debts.

"Among these unfavorable fac tors,'' he continued, "tne most de pressing and menacing is, un questionably, the financial condi tion of western Europe, where the newer countries of the world the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentine had an immense and growing market for their surplus products. This fi nancial chaos is the aftermath of the war, no doubt, but whatever the cause, our customers are In trouble and we, connected with them in the nexus of International commerce, are in trouble too. "The focus of this financial con dition, tho was saved for the time being by the moratorium sug gested by President Hoover and granted by Germany's leading creditors.

OPEN YEARBOOK SALE RYMAN WILL BE 10 FEATURE AGGIE Fl Committee Announces Plans For Decorative Scheme Friday Night. HAY TO SURROUND FLOOR Unique Tunnel Entrance Planned; Favors to Be Distributed. Definite decoration plans for the annual Farmer's Formal to be held by college of agriculture students Friday night were announced this morning by Jack Niebaum, co chairman of the decorations com mittee. Alice McDermott is acting with Niebaum as head of the com mittee. Their report Indicates the decorations will be more novel than in former years. At the same time announcement was made that favors are being given out with each ticket pur chased. This year the favor con sists of a miniature milk pitcher in which is found the invitation to the annual barn warming. Niebaum's plans for the decora tions indicate the activities build ing, where the event will be held, will be decorated as a barn. Hun dreds of bales of straw and hay are being borrowed to help make the scene realistic. They will be placed around the gymnasium floor. In addition dummy stalls will be built in each corner. Miniature cornfields will be found over the dancing floor, ac cording to Niebaum's plans. Lighted pumpkins sitting on shocks of fodder will also help make the picture more picturesque. Tunnel Entrance Planned. Probably the most unique of the entire decorations will be the tun nel entrance to the dance floor. Last year those attending the formal were forced to mount a ten foot ladder to the second floor but the plan this year is more original. The tunnel will be found on the second floor corridor of the build ing and will be made out of bales of straw. Being quite dark and with sev eral false sub-tunnels leading off to different sides, Niebaum pre dicts there will be more than one mixup in the entrance. No one will be able to crash the gate but will have to crawl thru the tun nel to gain admittance to the dancing floor.

Bollman promises more in formation on the crowning festivi ties plans Friday. Today all students in the college of agriculture are wearing over alls, aprons and old clothes to school in order to increase the spirit for Farmer's Formal. Del phin Nash said they would also be required to wear the old clothes Friday and anyone not doing so will be reprimanded by the loss of shoes and other parts of the clothing.

STOKES PUBLISHES WORK Political Science Instructor Writes of Godkin for Quarterly. Dr. H. W. Stoke, assistant pro fessor of political science, has had an essay, "Edwin Lawrence God kin, Defender of Democracy," pub lished in the October issue of the South Atlantic Quarterly. Godkin, as editor of the Nation and the New York Evening Post, was one of the most influential newspapermen of the nineteenth century, according to the article. "Government, to him, was but one means by which the democratic spirit sought expression. Demo cracy, Godkin believed, is a prin ciple of social life which must be deeply characteristic of a nation before the government of that na tion is deeply affected." CAMPUS CALENDAR Thursday. W. A.

ONLY ACTIVES MAY GO Eligibility of Members Now Being Checked; Special Bus Chartered. Having secured sanction of T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs and from the student council, the Corn Cobs will go to Columbia, Mo., to attend the Nebraska-Missouri game. The organization has c' .rtered a special bus in which they will leave Friday afternoon, it was announced last night. Since no other campus organiza tion will attend the Missouri game in a unit, it was deemed fitting that the Cobs should take it upon themselves to represent the uni versity and support the team in its fight for the "Big Six" cham pionship. The organization is permitting only eligible active members to take this trip, since its present funds are not sufficient to pay all expenses of both the actives and the pledges. The organization is also' contemplating taking the Manhattan trip on the special train that is to run. Eligibility Being Checked. Eligibility of active members of the organization is now being checked by the Dean's office. Only those members who are up in all their hours, carrying 12 and hav ing made 27 in the last two semes ters will be permitted to make this trip. Members of the organization have invited a faculty member to accompany them on the trip as their guest. The professor had not officially accepted last night, but declared his intention of do ing so. According to present plans, the Cobs will leave Lincoln shortly after Friday noon and orive to Kansas City, where they will spend the night. They will continue to Columbia the following morning. Arriving in Columbia shortly be fore noon Saturday, the Cobs, in their emblematic uniforms will parade thru the streets, lead a few yells for the team, and sit in a group in the stadi- - The Cobs have received many favorable com ments over their contemplated trip in view of the following that Missouri had here last year. The Tigers were supported by the Mis souri band, men's and women's pep organizations, and approxi mately 400 students when they met the Huskers in Memorial stadium last year. "Since no other representative Cornhusker group had signified its intentions of going to the game, we felt that the Corn Cobs ought to go," Marvin Schmid, president of the pep organization stated. The Cobs also plan to go to the Kansas Aggie game at Manhattan two weeks from Saturday, when they plan to take the whole group, both actives and pledges.
