THE biggest thing that happen
ed yesterday: A student pulse
contributor whose initials are S. M.
C. pointed out in no uncertain
terms that he for one still held the
back-numbered opinion that the
University of Nebraska and the
university athletic associations
were both parts of the university
proper, however insignificant the
former may be considered by the
latter. Our suggestion is tnat vou
take the potato peelings out of yes
terday's Rag and read this pithy
pulse. And orchids, felicitations,
congratulations, and "nice goin'",
to S. M. C.
From reading the' papers we see
that Iowa State has an exquisite
ly beautiful union building that
everyone on the campus uses lots
and lots. The point was, if you did
not get it. that "flat, pious Lin
coln'" has no concentrated caking
center for 25 percent of the stu
dents to use and 100 percent to
pay for.
BUT thcr another side to the
union building that the above
barb view of the question doesn't
consider. If the union performed
no other function except housing
the book store, students would
save enoiich on used books to pay
the nornin il assessment for the
union. Other schools are going to
have new buildings on their cam
pus as the result of the federal
loans.

ONCE upon a time not so long
ago. the inmates of this insti
tution staged a riot in the interest
of the long since dead spirit of pep.
Classes walked out pretty general
ly and those that didn't won hc
disfavor of those who did. Well, as
the story goes, some rioters then
stormed U hall to break the class
es of the then tyrannical head of
the French department. This fem
inine potentate locked her classes
with her pupils on the inside. A
rioter trying to unlock the door by
draping his chassis thru the tran
som was buffeted soundly on the
bead and hoiiider3 by the perpe
trator of French. Anyway, the
rioters succeeded and climaxed

Grade in Pershing
Rifle Tryout.
Fifty-five basic drill students
were elected to membership in
Pershing Rifles, honorary basic
organization, at a meeting of the
group held at 5 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in Nebraska hall. The
men were selected on the basis of
grades received in tryouts which
were held last Tuesday afternoon
at which one hundred and six men
took the tests.
"We do not want the men who
failed to make the grade this time
feel that they do not have another

the Rifljs, stated. "According to
present plans, we will hold an
other tryout sometime before the
Christmas vacation, and if any
man still has the desire to become
a member of Pershing Rifles, he
should attempt to increase his
knowledge of military training as
much as he can in the next month
or two and he will then be given
another opportunity to prove his
ability."
The only perfect grade given by
the army officers who conducted
the tryouts was received by John
Salyards. Wayne Ablott and
James Baer had grades of 99. Be

Minnesota and Nebraska arc
the lures of Memorial stadium
Saturday afternoon. If you're
looking for a siipor-tliriUing
football battle that for dynam
ic spectacle and pulse-quickening
entertainment surpasses almost
anything in the world of sports, it's
doubtful if you'll find another grid
iron exhibition like it in America.
You'll have to hurry, however, if
you plan on being able to say to
your grandchildren, "I was there."
There isn't an empty seat in all
Memorial stadium, except for the
bleachers. There are 5,000 seats
available in the stands at each end
of the field, and when they're gone
the Husker fortress will be "full
up," lock, stock, and triggerguard.
The only other possible place for
additional seats is on the track in
front of the box seats, and John
Selleck doesn't intend to use it.
The parcade seats have been util
ized only once in Cornhusker foot
ball history, in the Nov. 2 game
with Notre Dame, when 37,100
fans squeezed through the gates
to see the Scarlet subdue the Notre
Dame eleven 17-0 in the last en
gagement between the two schools.
Look for Big Crowd.
John Selleck, athletic business
manager, isn't counting on equal
ling that record this Saturday, but
he's pretty confident that the $2
admission price won't prevent the
bleachers from being filled and es
tablishing the second largest crowd
in the Nebraska gridiron studio.
Although the seats across the track
won't be constructed because they
obstructed the view from the box
seats, the bleachers will bring the
crowd beyond the former 35,000
mark which witnessed the Husker

Five hundred are expected to at

"This is to be our big party of

have brought to the campus this
year."
The Kentucky Colonels, led by
their guitar-playing maestro, Don
Shelton, is new to this region, a
short engagement at Lake Okiboji,
Iowa, being the closest they have
come to Lincoln. The band has
played Steady engagements at Min
neapolis. Chicago, Buffalo, and
other cities in the east. Comedy
song numbers by Louis Wilkins
feature the orchestra's entertain
ment. No preparation of any kind will
be added to the coliseum floor, the
council announces.
"The glaze has been worn off,
and we are going to leave the floor
just as it is," stated Marvin. "Any
one wishing to test the floor may
do so any time this week."

All Reserved Seats
Sold for !'ext Game
A complete sell-out of re
served seats in Memorial Sta
dium for the Minnesota-Nebraska
game next Saturday
afternoon was announced
Tuesday by John K. Selleck,
manager of student activities.
Workmen are now busy
erecting additional bleachers
at the north end of the sta
dium. The stadium itself has
a seating capacity of 29,430,
and the combined bleachers
will hold 5,555. If both the
stadium and bleachers are
filled to capacity, as is ex
pected, it will mean that a
record crowd of 34,985 or
thereabouts will have jammed
the ramps to witness one of
the top-notch games of the
season.
Ducats for bleacher seats
are now selling at the student
activities office for $2.00 each.
Knothole tickets will not be
honored at the Gopher-Husk-er
fray, but for the benefit of
those who hold knothole tick

The following remarks on the Cornhusker foe of next Saturday

being of assistance to Coac h Bible:
"The gopher is a burrowing American rodent that honey-combs
the earth. This gcomyroid specie has a stout rat-like foim, power
ful fore leg" adapted 'for digging, and large c heek pouclres opening
outside the mouth. They do extensive damage by undermining the
ground and disturbing or devouring roots and plants" (including
corn husks).
"This troublesome little animal that is one-tlurd tail is some
times called the pocket gopher or pouched lat. All gophers arc a
pest to agriculturists. (Oh, oh, sounds bad.l El forts are therefore
made lo exterminate them in various ways, of which the most,
effective is by suffocating them with bisulphide of carbon, placed
in their holes by saturating some porous object and rolling it into
the burrow.
Scvcial pamphlets issued bv the Department of Agriculture
describe the creatures and their habits and give directions for their
suppression.
