Chairman Galleher Expects
To Let Contract for
Party This Week.
REQUEST IDEA POPULAR
Students Respond to Plan
By Sending Numbers
For Program.
Decorations plans for the Inter
fraternity ball, scheduled for Feb.
6 in the Hotel Cornhusker main
ballroom, will probably be an
nounced and the contract let this
week, Norman Galleher, chairman
of the committee in charge, re
ported yesterday.
Negotiations have been begun
by John Zeilinger, who is in charge
of decorations for the ball, and
complete plans will be released
soon, he said.
Requests for numbers on the all
request dance program have begun
coming in and will be acknowl
edged in the order they are re
ceived, according to Chalmers
Graham, who is in charge of mu
sic for the ball. All requests
should be mailed to Graham at the
Cornhusker yearbook office at
once.
The request idea is a new one
for Nebraska parties, but students
are sending in many suggestions
for the dance program. It is hoped
to make the plan an annual cus
tom. A rapid ticket sale for the event
is continuing, reports from Charles
Skade, in charge of that depart
ment of the ball committee, show.
Skade urged all students who plan
to attend the ball to buy their
tickets at once, since only a lim
ited amount are left. The number
of tickets has been limited to the
capacity of the ballroom, since the
annual dance will be held in a
downtown hotel ballroom rather
than in the coliseum.
Two fifteen piece orchestras
with three special entertainers
have been booked for the event.
They will play alternately through
out the evening from opposite ends
of the ballroom. Both Eddie Jung
bluth and Leo Beck's have aug
mented the size of their bands for
the occasion. Beck's will have two
pianos, while Lyle DeMoss and the
Kvam sisters will entertain with
Jungbluth's band.

THE COMMITTEE.
Chancellor in Press Story
Favors Adoption of
State Police.
NEED BETTER OFFICERS
Chancellor E. A. Burnett and
Dr. J. O. Hertzler, professor of
sociology, were quoted in an
article which appeared in the Sun
day Journal and Star on the ways
of meeting the Nebraska crime
problem. The article contained
suggestions by several prominent
men in the state on what Nebraska
can do to meet crime. v
Among other things, Chancellor
Burnett expressed his desire for a
state police force. "The first thing
we must do." stated the chancel
lor, "is to develop that feeling of
responsibility on the part of all
citizens to support all police meas
ures. And we surely must protect
the police officer when he gets in
trouble for enforcing the law."
University Helps.
He further stated that he
thought citizenship should be
taught in schools and praised the
character education work being
done in the Lincoln schools as be
ing of a high' order. Referring to
the university's contribution to
this phase of crime prevention, he
said, "We offer plenty of courses
intended to be character building
courses but we don't insist that
everybody take them." To do this,
he leels, would require a complete
change in the university's policy.
"Our policy is to see that every
student in the university conducts
hiruselr with due regard for the in
terests of society. During the first
years we supervise those whose
education standards are below par.
Dr. Hertzler thinks that better
officers and the beginning of more
scientific crime work are the pri
mary factor in the .betterment of
crime in Nebraska. "You can't
put on the police force every
failed plumber and electrician that
can run, jump three feet, run
around the block and telephone a
message correctly to the sargeant
and cope with crime. Neither can
you expect a $145 a month flatfoot
to cope with a criminal of the type
of Gus Winkler," he declared.

BY MURLIN SPENCER.
As the smoke of another week's
play in the Big Six rolled by, two
teams, Missouri and Oklahoma,
conceded little chance in the con
ference race early in the season
topped the list with no defeats.
Among the early pre-season favor
ites, only Kansas retained its pres
tige, winning two games during
the week to move up to third
place. Nebraska, losing both sched
uled games during the week,
dropped from a tie for first down
to fourth. Kansas State and Iowa
State still have their first confer
ence games to win.
Missouri played only one con
ference game last week, winning
easily from Nebraska 30 to 18 de
spite the loss of Vic Davis and
Max Collings. John Cooper, Tiger
sophomore, came through for Mis
souri to count six field goals and
place himself as high scorerer in
the conference. George Stuber,
another sophomore, took the place
of the veteran Collings out on in
juries and proved to be a thorn in
the side of the Husker offense.
Sooners Look Good.
Oklahoma, also playing only one
game during the week, took a
close game from Iowa State, 37 to
32 when Andy Beck and Percy
Main figured brilliantly in the eve
nings play. Hugh McDermott,
Sooner coach, did not find it neces
sary to use his returned veterans
from Honolulu, Captain Gordon
Graalman and Grady Jackson, but
will probably insert them into
play in the games this week, giv
ing the Sooners an even greater
team than the one which has won
both conference starts this season.
Kansas gave evidence that they
must still be considered in the
race by winning two close, hard
fought games from Nebraska, 34
