PEP GROUPS OPEN DRIVE Cobs, Tassels Take Charge Campaign for Book Subscriptions. All students who wish to pur chase a 1932 Cornhusker must con tract for a copy in advance or not get one, according to a statement issued by John K. seiiecK, secre tary of the publications board, yes terday. In past years, students have not purchased yearbooks during the sales campaign and have been able to get them at the time of distribu tion in the spring, according to Russ Mousel, business manager of the 1932 annual. "This year, how ever," he stated, "every book must oe contracted for in advance. It is absolutely necessary that this be insisted upon. Due to financial difficulties which have arisen in the past, the publication board has decided that the idea of contracting for all year books in advance to be the most practical course. The official statement of the publications board is as follows: To the Students: The policy of the 1932 Corn husker staff to print only a sufficient number of annuals to fill orders received in ad vance Is again being adopted at the request of the Student Publication Board. This course has been proved the best pos sible solution to the difficult situation which arose two years ago, due to the increas ing number of students who put off purchase of the book until distribution of the Corn husker in May. The pursuance of this policy last year meant that these students who did not express their desire to have a Corn husker by ordering one pre viously were left without. The situation will be exaotly the same this year because those students who do not order their Cornhuskers in advance will find themselves wanting. It is hoped that all students who desire a copy of this year's annual will take cogniz ance of this notice and make (Continued on Page 2.) Misses Klinker and Wilson And Mrs. Thompson Will Appear.

Altho hesitant in opening his talk, "Free Radicals," the doctor soon lost himself to the some bun dred odd chemists, professors, stu dents and business men and delved into the scientific realm of his chemical discussion and issued a birds eye view of "present and historical " chemistry. At various intervals Dr. Gom berg would pace the width of the room, shake his fist, and nod bis head which is now turning gray, at times lost in his subject and at times commandingly enthusiastic, he traced the development of chemistry in the organic realm from its beginning until its present development.

Sponsor Cast RECEIVES FINE REVIEW Performance Scheduled on Evening and Afternoon of Nov. 14. Maurice Browne, producer of "Journey's End" and owner of the Globe and Que s's theaters in Lon don, will appear in Lincoln Nov. 14 in "The Unknown Warrior." The I lay is on tour, conducted by James B. Pond, and will make its only stop between Chicago and Denver in Lincoln. "The Unknown Warrior" is to be presented under the auspices of the University Players. The original cast, with but one exception, will present this famous war tragedy in Lincoln. Maurice Browne and Rosalinde Fuller ap pear .in the stellar roles. According to a notice appearing in the "London Stage," theatrical review, the play is "perhaps the only play from the many written, supposedly with a reverent feeling for those who gave their lives in the Great War and for those they left to grieve, that deserves to have a lasting place in dramatic litera ture." The London Times says that it is "a play of unquestionable sin cerity and of high accomplish ment." "The Unkniown Warrior," by Paul Raynal, was recently pre sented in New York City at the Morosco theater with signal suc cess. Cecil Lewis is responsible for the English text of the play which was written originally in French. Arthur Pollock in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle says that "it is a play to admire very much." The plot of this drama, which has been characterized as a "poetic war tragedy," is concerned with the mental turmoil of a young soldier and his sweetheart when he comes home on leave to say good-bye since he knows that when he goes back to the war it means certain death. The young hero is disillusioned about the war, but he returns to find his father blissfully unaware of reality and still idealizing the war which to him is a terrible thing. The situation is highly dramatic. An afternoon and an evening performance will be given, and tickets are on sale at Latscb Brothers.

NURSES NURIES RLUND TO CHOOSE RESHMAN TEAM SOON KOSMET SECURES HIGH AUDITORIUM FOR KLUB SHOW Lincoln School Hall Scene Of Morning Revue Saturday. STUART NOT AVAILABLE Union Strike Prevents Use Theater by Musicians In Production. Kosmet Klub's annual morning revue which will be presented Sat' urday morning, Nov. 7. will be given in Lincoln high school audi torium, according to an announce' ment made in club headquarters yesterday. The official statement read that negotiations had been completed for the Stuart theater but the trou ble between union labor and the Lincoln Theater corporation made use of that show place impossible A large number of union must cians are being used in the morn ing revue, according to membtrs of the club. Altho the musicians themselves have no quarrel with the theater corporation, the theater machine operators do. Union Squabble Interferes. Machine operators went on strike several weeks ago when the theater corporation announced its intention of cutting wages. Then Lincoln musicians went on strike since they and the machine opera tors are both members of the American Federation of Labor. This story is an old one to most people in Lincoln, but it helps bring to light that there is no trouble as far as Lincoln musicians are con cerned. Since they cannot play in any Lincoln Theater corporation show house, however, and since they are absolutely essential to the morning revue, there was only one choice left Lincoln high auditorium, say club members. Will Seat 1,200. This auditorium will seat only 1,200 but every seat is a good one according to Kosmet Klub, because tnere are no obstructions to view and the floor is sloping as in any theater auditorium. There will be no reserved seats however, and tickets are already selling rather fast, it was learned from a check of salesmen working for the club. Because of this, Kosmet Klub has urged all who wish to be sure of a seat to buy now before the supply is gone. Fl J. E. Lawrence to Discuss Weight of War at Noon Luncheon.
