for the morning of Nov. 25, will be
completed this evening, Frank
Musgrave, president of the Klub
and chairman of the production
committee for the show, announced
yesterday afternoon.
"A total of nineteen skits will
be reviewed by the committee be
fore their work is finished. Twenty

combinations, entered their appli

present their acts to the commit
tee for consideration tonight.
"The skits reviewed so far show
unusual entertainment features,
and it will be difficult for the com
mittee to select the acts to be used
in the show. The variety also of
fers a pdoblem as to selection, and
some may have to be reviewed
again," Musgrave said yesterday
afternoon.
The committee has not yet de
termined the exact number of
skits to be used in the show and
would make no definite statements
until after all applications had
been judged. Announcement of the

Wednesday afternoon by Lloyd

Missouri Saturday in their fourth

"The send-off rally preceding

was shown," stated Loomis. "It is
imperative that all students turn
out for the rally Friday evening,
and that they show some spirit"
According to announcements

Henry Kosman, head of the Corn

INSTALL LOUD SPEAKERS

Sel-
A special invitation to fraterni
ties and sororities for the free
Grid-Graph party to be held at the
Coliseum Saturday was issued by
Ray Ramsey, secretary of the
Alumni association, sponsor of the
party. The Tassels. R. O. T. C.
band, and the university cheer
leaders will help to make the garv
realistic. All students and their
friends are invited to attend the
Grid-Graph reproduction of the
game, Ramsey stated.
A new feature of the Grid-Graph
that will be used for the first time
Saturday is a loud speaker system.
over which an announcer will de
scribe the plays to the crowd. The
Grid-Graph itself is an electrical
device which gives a graphic re
production of the progress of the
game, and is operated by a special
leased telegraphic line.
Invitation was extended to or
ganized houses Wednesday morn
ing by the Alumni association in a
special letter. The announcement
also appeared in the Monday issue
of the Nebraska Alumnus. Because
of the cancellation of an admission
charge, Ramsey expects a record
crowd. The game will start at 2
o'clock. i
NEW CLUB APPROVED.
Students Display Definite Interest in Foreign
Affairs by Sanction of International
Relations Club.
Student interest in foreign af
fairs is on the upturn if the defi
nite sanction of the International
Relations club of the University
by representative students of the
University is any indication.
In a series of interviews conduct
ed yesterday, a number of students
expressed an interest in the organ
ization and a desire to take part in
its discussions.
John Gepson. president of the
Student Council, when questioned
as to his opinion of the newly
formed organization stated, "With
the present trend of economic na
tionalism, it is the duty of every
student to become better informed
on international relations. This
seems to be a worthwhile medium
for such a purpose."
Democratic Step.
"The formation of such a club
is a democratic step in bringing
about a closer reationship between
teachers and students and deserves
the co-operation of students," de
clared Anne Bunting, president of
Tassels, girls' pep organization.
Further approval was voiced by
Fred Nickias, when he said, "I
think it an excellent idea. It will
give those who are interested es
pecially in international problems
a chance to expriM themselves and
become better informed about
ihem. The nature of the club mer
its the support of students."
More Academic Clubs.
"I am very much in favor of the
club and hope it will be worked
out. This campus needs more aca
demic discussion," was the opinion
of Willa Norris, president of Mor
tar Board.
Margaret Buol gave her ap
proval of tiie society by saying. "I
think it is a worthwhile organiza
tion due to the fact that at this
time, especially, everyone should
be well informed on the interna
tional situation."
Recognition of Russia.
"Recognition of Russia" will be
the topic for discussion and debate
at the meeting of the club Thurs
day at 7 o'clock in Room 107-A.
Social Science building. Melvin
Martin of Russia, who is at pres
ent doing graduate work in the
University will discuss the situa
tion from his country's point of
view. Vincent Broady will present
the situation existing between the
United States and Russia today
and C. A. Warrer and Norman
Malcolm, graduate students in the
department of Political Science
will present arguments for and
against recognition.
The subject is especially timely
since Foreign Minister Litvinoff
will arrive in Washington soon to
start recognition negotiations.
