Containing a short story, per sonal articles, sports and theater news and faculty and aiumnus stories, the October Issue of the Nebraska Alumnus was placed in the mails this morning, according to RalDh Rceder. editor of the magazine. Prof. J. E. LeKossignai, aean oi the college of business administra tion, is author of "Upper Town," a short story which Editor Reeder has reprinted from the Canadian Home Journal. The story concerns a French Canadian who has 'made good' to the extent of only dealing with aristocrates. First article In the magazine Is a guest editorial entitled, "Why Not Experiment?" by Herbert Kelly, a graduate of the university and staff member of the Des Moines Register. Football is the inspiration for two articles in the issue. One of these is titled, "Back to the Husker Line," and is a survey of Coach Roy Lymon's life. Coach Bible and John K. Sclleck discuss fi nances in football in "Football, Dollars, and Sense." "Celebrating Two Decades" tells of the University Players informal reunion last month and "Suppose We Hadn't Heard It," is an article by Elcanore Fogg Whitham on how to use the radio and mention ing several programs. The cover design, an etching of Nebraska's goal, was made by Dwight Klrsch, of the Fine Arts department. It shows the south goal posts and part of the stadium full of people. The faculty take two stories, one telling of those retired and of the new members; the other de scribes a retirement plan. In "Alumni Paragraphs" the readers learn what the alums are doing. Short box articles of well known graduates such as Roscoe Pound. Dr. Frederick M. Hunter, and others are interspersed thruout the magazine. Write a Song Let's go, Nebraska! Fifteen entries have already been received In the Cornhusker Fight Song contest, but that's not enough. The Innocents and. Mortar Boards know that there are still hundreds of students who can write more and better songs. They want to posi tively exhaust all possibility that any better Nebraska song can be written; they want to settle a sore thumb with a number that will bind it once and for all. Your work won't go unappreciated. More important than the twenty dollar reimbursement is the fact that your song will live with Cornhusker football history, that your song will bring 30,000 Nebraskans to their feet in a battle cry of victory! There's something different about the Cornhusker spirit every outstate football fan will tell you that and the student who incor porates that rousing sentiment into lyrics will live forever in Corn husker memories. Find a psino or an old hand organ; hum a tur.e to yourself; get a co-author to share the honors anything to WRITE THAT SONG!

"How should I know what the club is doing," smirk organiza tion presidents. Such comebacks are hurled at reporters in their search for news. War goes on in Ethiopia, the legislature Is called in special ses sion, Japan and Russia argue, Ne braska plays football, thousands of students go to school, and yet "Nothing ever happens. Meetings are called, problems discussed, campus activities get under way but club heads don't know what is happening. Perhaps the reporter should quit his'fjU'Jr'es In quest of news, or perhaps things could be fixed up by that age old remedy re ferring the matter to a committee. All in all "What is this campus coming to?" DWIGHT KIRSCH SHOWS ODDS AGAINST K-AGGIES Comparative Strengths Are Demonstrated in Recent Gridiron Battles. Chicago university came to Nc braska three weeks ago looking for an early-season setup and got licked, 28 to 7. Iowa State "con ceded Nebraska nothing," the fol lowing week end at Ames and also got licked, 20 to 7. Minnesota came hesitantly and fearfully into the Nebraska gridiron studio last Saturday, tears streaming down Bernie Bierman's leathery face as he thought sorrowfully of the mas sacre that was in store for his team and people are still talking about what happened. Following that chain of reason ing, what's going to happen this Saturday when Kansas State tees off against Nebraska? Bible Says Game Tough. Coach Bible remarks, as usual, that it's going to be a tough game, and goes about preparing for it with his usual thoroness. The "tough game" turned into a Husk er runaway against Chicago and Iowa State. But it also turned into a Minnesota victory that was more than a "tough game." So it's rather difficult to interpret the Husker mentor's statements. Coach Wes Fry remarks at Manhattan that the team with the most hustle will win. It's also difficult to determine just what Coach Fry means by "hustle." His Wildcats have been both silent and unhustling-like for the past two Saturdays, having succumbed to Fort Mays, 3 to 0, and Marquette, 14 to 0. But Fry figures that since his lads have lost twice in succession to com paratively unknown foes, the pros pect of meeting Nebraska in the first conference battle of the sea son, plus the inspiration to repeat what happened last Thanksgiving, will act as a sort of fighting tonic. He also opines that since the Min nesota melange will have worn the Huskers out both physicially and spiritedly, he'll have nn even break to give theni a good game. Nevertheless, the odds go to Ne braska to bring home the second conference victory at the wild cat's expense this Saturday. Not only do the two losses handed the Kaggietown Doys lessen uicir standing somewhat, but the ter rific battle which Nebraska put u in that last quarter against Min nesota bodes no rood for wnonv ever happens to be on the othef side of the line this Saturday. Huskers Recovering. And the Scarlet warriors ar fast recovering from the licking which they received a week ago. With Henry Bauer tee only man definitely out of the Kaggie game because of injuries, things went forward at high speed Wednesday afternoon in the regular midweek scrimmage. That "morning after" spirit in evidence Monday and Tuesday was very much lacking as the Husker coaching staff sent two teams through offensive and defensive dhty against the fresh men. The probable first string lineup was limited mainly to ball carry ing duties, although it alternated at defense maneuvers with the second eleven. Johnie Howell, who will fill Chief Bauer's va cated quarterback post, was re (Continued on Page 4.)
