Hailed by members of the
men's pep organization as the
outstanding function of the fall
social season, the Corn Cob
Frolic, scheduled for Saturday
night in the coliseum, will also be
in celebration of the Iowa-Nebraska
football tussle Saturday after
noon. "Dancing to 'the music of Red
Perkins and his colored crew of
"Dixie Ramblers," those attending
the affair will also enjoy the set
ting of permanent decorations
which have been secured for the
event," Irving Hill, Corn Cob pres
ident, stated.
Final preparations for the party
have been completed in detail, it
was announced. Tickets for the
event are being sold by members
of the club or may be purchased at
the door of the coliseum Saturday
night for 75 cents per couple.
Members of the Iowa football
team have been invited to attend
the event. Coach Ossie Solem's
squad will not leave Lincoln until
midnight Saturday, and the bids
are hoped, by members of the
men's pep club, to aid in the crea
tion of good will between the two
schools.
The party encountered tempor
ary difficulty when the Cora Cobs
failed to secure permission from
the faculty committee to conduct
the event. However the commit
tee met with representatives of the
Corn Cobs, and members of the
Innocents society and decided to
grant the pep club permission to
continue with the affair.
By granting the Corn Cobs the
use of the coliseum and surrender'
ing their right to the night, the
Barb council made the party possi
ble. Co-operation of fraternity and
sorority houses on the campus was
also secured despite the short
notice given them by the pep or
ganization. "Practically all the
houses have responded generousTy
by postponing their affairs until
later dates," Irving Hill stated.

Kunschegewerbe Schule, Tells of
Student Life in German University
"When a girl in Germany has a date she meets her escort
on some street corner, and pays half the expenses of the eve
ning herself." This h just one of the little interesting facts
Miss Merle Seybolt, university student, brought back with her
from a year's visit in Germany. While in Germany Merle at-
teu0sd Kunschegewerbe Schule, anO
art school, and consequently had
an extraordinary chance to view
German life, especially among the
young people.
"German men do not follow the
little acts of courtesy which women
in America except of their es
corts.' Miss Seybolt continued.
"When entering a restaurant the
man always sits down first, leav
ing the lady to seat herself. It is
not uncommon, however, for a man
to kiss a lady's hand."
Few girls are admitted to the
colleges, most schools allowing not
more than 10 percent of the total
eur' Ijrnent to be made up of wom
en. tu Seybolt declared, so there
are no sororities on the campuses,
altho there are fraternities. The
girls wbo do attend college, she
said, are very masculine in appear
ance and go in for all aorta of
sports.

V lowa Next. A Fine Chance to
Make A Comeback," which adorns
the grey-walled dressing rooms
seems to pretty well typify the
spirit which the Huskers have
shown in practice this week.
It is unusual for Nebraska to be
on the short end of the betting,
especially on its home field. It is
also unusual for Nebraska to be
smarting from anything like a 20
to 0 defeat. Couple these situa
tions with the fact that Nebraska
is defending a record of no defeats
on its home sod since 1930 and
perhaps the source of what seems
to be a new fighting spirit in the
team, is no longer a mystery.
Iowa, however, also has a score
to settle. The sting of a 7 to 6
loss to the Huskers last year a
loss in which Nebraska's winning
touchdown was disputed still is a
delicate subject with Coach Ossie

Rock boy, who almost single

offensive threats last Saturday,
will hold down the right guard

the initial call at right tackle with
his 230 pounds.

the scoring punch of the Husker
