Unsettled Weather
With Rain Predicted
For Next Weekend
Travel may not be so pleasant
during the coming' week end, if
weather predictions for that period
come true. "Unsettled with prob
able rain or snow in central and
southeast portions of the state" the
word from the office of T. A.
Blair, university meteorologist.
Which means that Saturday, first
day of winter, will probably enter
in real wintry style, and nome
bound students will have another
disagreeable vacation beginning.
Today, Dec. 21, is not only the
last day of autumn, it is the short
est day of the year, and if that old
adage "When the days grow long
er, the cold stows stronger,"
means anything, there's chilly
days ahead.

AT SIGMA TAU DINNER
Lincoln Man Tells Members
Outlook for Engineers
Better Than Ever.
SOCIETY INITIATES 13
Declaring that the future out
look for the engineering profes
sion offers bigger opportunities
than ever before for the young
engineer, Fred J. Gunther, Lincoln,
addressed members of Sigma Tau,
honorary engineering society, at
their annual initiation and ban
quet, Thursday evening at the
Lincoln hotel.
"Altho the engineering profes
sion has been suffering the effects
of the current depression, a turn
for the better will soon arrive
which will create a great demand
for engineers," Mr. Guther, assistant-manager
of the Iowa-Nebraska
Power company, prophe
sied. "When business conditions
swing back to normalcy, the first
to go back to normalcy, those to
lead in recovery will be the engi
neers, since industry without them
can't operate."
In discussing his topic, "The
Young Engineer," the speaker
spoke of desirable traits and char
acteristics that the beginner in the
profession should acquire in order
that they might work more effici
ently. Engineers should have a
better understanding of our civic
affairs and be better acquainted
with our governmental functions,
he related.
Additionally appearing on th
evening program with extempor
aneous speeches were L. W.
Chase, '04, a charter member of
Sigma Tau, and members of the
faculty and of the society. Hugh
Gray, Sigma Tau president, pre

Iowa University Quintet
Conquers Huskers in
31-24 Battle.
2,700 FANS WATCH GAME
Iowa university displayed two
great forwards to Nebraska Thurs
day nieht, played a hard, fast
basketball game and trundled back
to Iowa City the victors ty 61 10
24 score. But not until a great Ne
braska second half rally tied the
score at 24 all when the final gun
banged did Rollie William's Hawk
eye hoop artists turn full heat on
the Hu3kcrs. In the resultant five
minute extra period, however,
Iowa's Black and Old Gold struck
swiftly for seven points and their
win. The lads in the Red and
White jerseys strove to overcome
that lead, but their shots were
hasty and wild whe;e Iowa's had
been precise and sure, and, scoring
better than a point a minute,
Iowa came away from Huskerland
with their victory. Approximately
2,700 fans flocked to the coliseum
to watch the first home game of
Nebraska's current schedule.
A summary of the work of
Johnny Barko and Sid Rosenthal,
playing forwards for the Hawk
eyes, is about a summary of what
Iowa did to Nebraska. Add the
work of Ivan Blackmer, lanky cen
ter, and the story is complete. To
