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

commanded the interest ana auen

the auditorium of Chemistry hall
last night at a meeting of the Ne

Chemical society that the prover

drop.
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.

Cover for the November issue of
the Awgwan, the Renaissance is

ers, according to Marvin Robinson,
editor. The work by Norman
Hansen, is historical in spirit and
carries out the Renaissance idea of
the magazine.
Material for this number will be

material and poetry can still be
used, and will appear In this issue,
if it Is brought in at once, says
Robinson. Many short poems will
be used, but there is room for a
few more, according to the editor.
Jack Erickson has written a fea
ture story that will appear in the
November Awgwan. Margery
Qulvey and Norma ) Hansen nave
drawn a number of cartoons that
will also be featured, in a new
idea of cartoon layout.
A new step to make the appear

Robinson. The stock for the pages
of the magazine has been changed
to white enameled paper, which is
better adapted to printing. and

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.

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.

crowd of 25,000 will attend the

Colorado Is Strong.
The Silver and Gold eleven is a
strong one, and their game with
the Huskers will be their second
one with a Big Six team this year.
Colorado defeated Mis'souri at
Boulder, 9 to 6. this season and
won from the Tigers 9 to 0 last
year at Columbia. The Silver and
Gold is making a strong bid for
honors in their conference this
year.

permission to play charity games
by the athletic directors of the
conference in a meeting several
weeks ago. Nebraska is the first
school to announce its opponent.
It will be the first chanty game

a premium Monday after Dean V.

ing cars from parking on the cen

Dean Eurr said he hoped they and
faculty members would co-operate
in keeping the campus clear of
cars in non-parking zones. Since
