SHOWS INCREASE OF
200 OVERLASI YEAR
Annual May Still Be Secured
At Office But Price
Rises Dec. 15.
Sales of the Cornhusker year
book to date have exceeded those
of the same period last year by
two hundred copies, according to
Bob Thiel, business manager of
the publication. Seven hundred
copies of the book had been sold
by Thursday night.
' Thiel attributed much of the
success of the sales campaign to
the Nebraska queen section, and
the support that sororities have
been giving it. Official announce
ment of the candidates for the
queen section nominated by the
sororitv houses will be made some
time this week. Photographs of
the entrants will be judged by
some well known authority on
feminine beauty.
Price Will Rise.
"We think that the sale of year
books will continue to be success
ful." Thiel stated. "The staff is
pleased with the support and co
operation we have received thus
far, and we feel sure that it will
continue." The books are still on
ssle at the Cornhusker offices in
University hall for the original
price. A twenty-five cent increase
In price Is scheduled for Dec. 15.
Students Face Problem of How to
Pass Exams; Suggestions Offered
Because this is exam week and
many students are wondering Just
what the next step is. the Daily
Nebraskan thought the following
article taken from the Daily Car
dinal might give some valuable
pointers on the question which is
so current.
With the mid-semester examina
tions not far off, students are
again faced with that old and
slightly familiar problem: how to
make what is known as passing
trades.
Some students solve the problem
by not taking the exams. Other
students get sick. Still others go
off on "benders." A few students
tudy.
One way of passing exams, it
na been noted, is to study for
them. Another, and seemingly a
more important method, is to ap
peal to the gods of luck. A fa
vorite god is Dionysius and ca
rouses are held in bis honor. To
propitiate him and to curry his
favor many beers are needed.
Though wine is the favorite drink
f Dionysius, it is believed that
toasting this god in the concoction
known as 32 win wmiM Arnuft
his anrer; beer more or less 3.2 1

Football Fans to
Have Fair Heather
For Football Tilt
Students who dislike sitting
through two halves of a football
game during stormy weather will
be greeted with fair weather to
morrow, according tto the predic
tions of T. A. Blair, university
meteorologist.
Although the first snowfall of
the season occurred yesterday aft
ernoon and temperatures were
hovering around thirty degrees,
Blair stated that the weather to
day would probably be fair, with
little change in temperature. Sat
urday's temperature will be mod
erate, which is good news for those
who do not like to freeze for two
or three hours in the stadium.

Will Introduce Penney
and Coach Bible.
URGE STUDENT SUPPORT
Make Arrangements to Hold
Pep Demonstration
in Coliseum.
With ' Pluck the llawkoyes"
as their slogan, Tassels, Corn
Cobs, the E.O. T. C. baud and
students will stape a rally for
the Iowa game tonight in the
coliseum, following a procession
down fraternity row. Arrange
ments were made to hold the pep
demonstration in the coliseum in
anticipation of bad weather, ac
cording to Lloyd Loomis, Innocent
in charge of rallies.
The rally will start at the Tem
ple at 7 o'clock and proceed over
the regular route to 16th and R.
north to Vine and then west to
the field house.
John Curtiss, a former Univer
sity of Nebraska student who is
now connected with the Nebraska
Iowa Light and Power company, is
to be the principal speaker and Lee
Penney, game captain, will be in
troduced by Coach D. X. Bible.
Penney will probably have a few
words to say about the game with
the Big Ten 'surprise team.'
Loomis. urged that every stu
dent attend tonight's demonstra
tion. "There is little doubt that the
student body can do a lot to keep
the Cornhuskers' record for 1933
a good one," he said, "by turning
out for the rally and showing them
that we are really behind them."
The Hawkeyes have proven
themselves to be one of the strong
est teams in this section, indicating
a hard battle tomorrow afternoon.
"If the students attend tonight's
display as well as they have the
past rallies." Loomis stated, "we
can be sure that the team will do
its part on the field."
Bleachers Set Up
To Hold Over J Ion
Throng This Week
Installation of extra bleacher
seats at the end of the field has
been ordered by John K. Selleck,
business manager of athletics, in
order to accommodate an expected
record attendance of 34.000 per
sons at the Iowa game this Satur
day. The order followed an unex
pected boom in ticket sales, ac
cording to Selleck.
The weather will clear up and
be fair on the day of the game
according to Thomas Blair, me
teorologist. Many reserved tickets
have already been sold, according
to Selleck.
The estimation of the attend
ance is based, he stated, upon the
sale of general admission tickets,
and unless the weather is bad, the
attendance record for this year
probably will be broken Saturday.
Wears Same Clothes.
Another method of passing
exams without having to descend
to studying, is to place one's life in
the hands of superstition. One stu
dent took an examination in his
tory about eight years ago. Walk
ing to the exam room he used the
left sides of the streets. The re
sultant grade was an A in the
exam. Since then, the student has
gone to every exam room walking
on the left side of the streets. The
results have been a few A's.
though not many.
Another student insists upon
wearing the same clothes to every
examination, year in and year out
Clothes make the exam, he be
lieves. Then There's Cribbing.
The wearing of good luck
charms is the most common of su
perstitions. In fact, students spend
more time in the examination room
fingering their charms than writ
ing their papers. One student uses
a small cotton monkey as a watch
charm; another uses the wish bone
of a chicken while rabbits paws
h most Dooular.

! Granite Columns Now Lying Idle
May Be Used to
If Council's
By FRED NICKLAS.
The possibility of placing a
number of stone pillars in stately
columns either at the ends of the
malls or at the ends of the sta
dium has become an active issue
since the interfraternity council
voted to create a committee to
confer with the Board of Regents
in an effort to secure approval of
the project.
The pillars, fifty-two of them,
now lie idle,, obscured in a seldom
visited comer of the campus where
their beauty goes unobserved.
Were Gift to University.
Thirty-two of them are of beau
tiful red granite, two feet in dia
meter and thirty feet high. Before
they xjcome the property or me
university they graced the en
trance and one side of the old
Burlington station in Omaha
which was dismantled when the
new Union station was built five
years ago. They were given to the
university by C. J. Ernst, now de
ceased, who was then treasurer
of the Burlington Railroad com
pany, and one time member of the
Board of Regents.
Twenty of them once orna
mented the dome of the former Ne
braska state capitol building. Made
from fine Scotch granite they are
the same length a. the others but
are a little more slender.

Beautify Campus
Plans Are Realized
There have been many proposals
to use the columns for an open air
theater or some such ornamental
structure but the cost of such a
project has prohibited their use.
Would Erect Pillars on Mall.
Present plans would have them
placed at the ends of the two malls
or at the ends of the stadium, be
hind the goal posts. "Here we have
one bunch of fine granite pillars
that have been stored away for
fourteen years and another for
five years" Prof. Schramm pointed
out. "let's do something with
them."
Prof. E. H. Barbour, who was
instrumental in obtaining both
groups of pillars for the Univer
sity, would like to see them placed
in some prominent place. "I would
like very much to see something
done with them to beautify our
campus. It would be fine to ue
them in some decorative manner, '
he said.
Students who traveled to Colum
bia, Mo., for the football game re
cently have seen the columns on
that campus. There are many
universities whone campis are out
standing because of similar orna
mentation. Nebraska has the pil
lars, and with the ro-operation of
many student organizations they
could e erected with very iittle
