Browne Tight-Lipped as His
Charges Prepare Invade
Oklahoma, Kansas.
BOTH FOES POWERFUL
K. U. Unbeaten, Sooner Quint
Record Marred by One
Loss to Tigers.
"We'll give them n buttle."
Beyond that crisp phrase,
Coneh Hnvold Browne "won't
talk" about the chances of his
Cornlmskcr maples squad in
the Big Six conference this season.
But the Nebraska cage mentor
evidently considers those five
words a full-sized and expressive
summary of what his charges are
going to achieve, for he consumed
the entire afternoon Thursday re
lating to his warriors the strategy
to be employed in the successive
assaults on Oklahoma and Kansas
universities this Saturday and
Monday. Either the Huskers are
expecting two frantically-waged,
danger-saturated conflicts under
the cover of that word "battle" or
they're devising the quickest and
most effective means of carving
two Kansas and Oklahoma quin
tets into meat loaf.
Both Opponents Strong.
In view of the quality of Sooner
and Jayhawk basket opposition,
the latter alternative is very much
in the minoiity. In fact, the
Brownemen are liable to encoun
ter two conference cage combina
tions which will do full justice to
all the perils and hazards which
can be conceived on a battle field.
Setting off for Norman, Okl.,
this afternoon at -1:30, the Huskers
will be opposing an especially re
vamped Sooner quint Saturday
and a powerful Kansas university
aggregation Monday evening at
Lawrence. The Oklahoma crew,
with a win over Missouri and a
loss to Kansas on Its books, is lay
ing in wait particularly for the
Nebraskans. And Kansas, out in
front of the league with three de
cisive victories in as many games,
Is conceded the most dangerous
team in the circuit, despite Coach
Allen's sorowful premonition that
it is the -worst.
Meanwhile, the Huskers are
comparatively untried in the con
ference test runs. They've won
one game a narrow 30-29 victory
over Missouri and so they're leg
ally sharing the conference lead
with a percentage of 1.000.
But George Edwards Missouri
ans haven't managed to lick any
one yet. They're resting quite
peacefully and unthreateningly at
the bottom of tne comerence. Ann
while the Kansas Jayhawks were
taking a close 29-25 victory from
the Tigers Wednesday evening for
their third win, they never toicr
ated anv funnv business and sub
dued tho dotrccd Mizzou attack
with lltle trouble.
And so the Nebraska aggrega
tion. despite its successful non-con
ference showincr, will leave its
Capital Cltv haunts with the bur
den of proof against the Jayhawks
and an equal chance against the
Sooners. What will happen at
Lawrence Monday depends a lot on
what happens at Norman faatur
dav. and if Oklahoma meets her
conqueror under too heavy a drubbing-,
mavbc Dr. Phoc Allen will
find to his sorrow that the was
perfectly right about Nebraska be
ing the team to lick for the cham
pionship. That Nebraska Attack.
At any event, the Huskers will
carry as their main threat on their

Registration on Thursday
Lighter After Heavy Rush
Registration of approximately two-thirds of the Nebraska
student body had been completed Thursday evening as the fi
nal date for filing second semester class schedules approached.
Filings Thursday were somewhat lighter than during tho heavy
rush of tho first three days of the week.
Over forty class sections haveo
already been closed, according to
a registration ouiictin issucu
Thursday by A. R. Congdon
of the assignment committee.
Many more sections will probably
be closed at 11 o'clock this morn
ine with the issuance of Thurs
day's bulletin, he stated. The
heavy registration during the first
part of tho week is responsible for
the large number of early clos
ures. With the arrival of the last half
day for registering many sections
are going to be closed and students
waiting until the last minute to
register will have to take what is
left, Mr. Congdon stated.
"Students have done the unusual
this semester by registering early
and avoiding the last minute
rush," the committee chairman de
clared. "Since a big majority of
the student body has already been
registered, no unusual activity is
anticipated Saturday morning."
Sections Closed.

ant to Interview Hoover?
Just Try It, Says Reporter
Nothing could be more desirable in tho way of newspaper
interviews with Herbert Hoover than a "scoop" on his an

the lobby of the Lincoln hotel, avc'11 go on this interview to

Omaha about 4 o'clock, and It
won't be hard to get into the press

and we may even get a personal
interview!

Declaring that "the Awgwan
will be out Monday for sure," Edi
tor Howard Dobson predicts that
the January candid camera sec

than ever, and the increased num
ber of jokes and cartoons appre
ciated by the campus public.
Marjorie Hatten, has designed a
timely and realistic cover desitrn
Joe College and Josephine Coed
ourning the midnight oil. "The
staff hopes that the cover will not
only remind students of their duty
during final exam week, but also
provide intervals of entertain
ment," stated Dobson.
Bill Hollistcr, in churgc of the
"Campus Research" division of the
magazine, presents at an appro
priate time, a erafty resume of all
known and imagined systems of
cribbing.
Supplementing the work of the
Awgwan's local cartoonists, two
exchange cartoons will be pre
sented from "tho Oklahoma Cov
ered Wagon," a magazine which
has established a creditable mid
western reputation for its hilly
billy humorous sketches.
Sarah Louise Meyer, a new con
tributor, writes in a humorous
vein concerning "The Significance
of Colors."
Fraternity and sorority groups
will be publicized by n full page

Prof. Kirkpatrick Wants
To Obtain Balance
In Group.
Stresshifr the fact that organiza
tion of such slnsrlng croups as the
choral union would give valuable
publicity to the university, Prof.
Howard Kirkpatrick, head of the
school of music again urged that
men students attending the uni
versity and Interested in vocal
work register for the chorus the
second semester.
The professor pointed out that
during Ivy Day each year the va
rious fraternities and sororities on
the campus present a number of
musical selections, in competition
with each other, and do so in such
a manner as to afford ample proof
that there is an abundance of ex
cellent singing material on the uni
versity campus. He adds that since
there is this abundance of mate
rial, that Nebraska might be
known as a real musical center if
students would enroll for such
electives as the union offers.
The music to be studied during
the semester will offer a great
amount of variety and will include
selections from operatic to acap-
pella in style. Classes for the
choral union will meet twice a

Monday and Wednesday at 11

I
Ex-President Offers 3-Point
Plan for American
Agriculture.
OVER 9000 JAM COLISEUM
Chartjes 'Collectivism'
Denunciation of New
Deal Policies.
in
Herbert Hoover, spokesman for
the agressor party of the 1930
presidential campaign, dealt a
verbal lashing to the new deal farm
policy of an "economy of scarcity"
before a crowd of over 9.000 Ne
braskans assembled in the uni
versity coliseum Thursday night.
LaudHig the supreme court for
abolishing the AAA, "which
would have fallen of its own
weight, even without the supreme
court,' he offered suggestions to
be included in a republican farm
program. "Wo shall need to open
our minds to further experiment,"
he af-.scrted in outlining the roads
to relief.
Restore Home Market.
Flaunting charges of collectiv
ism, politics, and bureaucracy in
the direction of the administra
tion's agricultural measures, the
former president defined three
points which would be included as
a basis for his farm policy: .
Restoration of export and home
markets to farmers, to come with
increased consumption thru res
toration of employment. 2. Retire
ment of submarginal lands where
people cannot make a living, and
retarding of reclamation projects
until the land can be used. 3. En
couragement of co-operating mar
keting and extension of farm
credit machinery, established by
republican administration and im
proved by the new deal.
Dividing his address, which was
carried over the Columbia broad
casting network, into five parts, lie
outlined why the farm question
was of international interest, what
the causes were of farmer's trou
bles, what the new deal is doing
to the farmer as a citizen, what it
has done to him in his farming
business, and discussion of a new
program. "The new deal," he flaunted, is
comprised of government by indi
viduals in place of government of
lpws. It comprises goosestepping
the people under this pinkish ban-
f r,larmntl CCOllOinV. . .MCIl
who planted on their own farms
and sola m men "j -
product which God and their own
abor gave them could have been
sent to jail for doing just that.
That is not liberty. That is col
lectivism.' Absolved of Blame.
Hoover told the audience that
he "felt better" since President
Roosevelt attributed the world
wide disturbance" that took pljue
in economic life to the World war.
"I had been told so often by the
new deal that I did It," he ex
plained, "that I had given up all
hope of salvation."
Stealing the thunder of demo
cratic spokesmen, ho reversed the
blame for the banking panic o
1933 and accused the new deal ot
scaring away prosperity. "When
the world depression was turnet.
in June and July, 1932, agriculture
prices rose in a start toward
equality with industrial prices. . .
Then came the era of tho great
fear. Fright ot tne new ueai
skidded the country into tne
money and bank panic."
Quoting Roosevelt as advocat
ing the AAA as a principle for a
permanent program, he character
ized the new deal policy as "the
economy of scarcity based on con
trol of production enforced by tcl!-r,o-
tho f.imior what he can
plant." "They repeated each mis
take of the farm board and added
a big idea," he asserted. "That
big idea is that you can catch an
economic force with policemen."
Sense of Humor.
Again displaying his newly
found sense of humor, he directed
caustic satire at the cotton and
potato acts. "As I read further
and further into the 6,250 vcrbo
ten words of the potato law," he
jibed, "I realized that one of the
impulses to cheerfulness was about
to be mashed out of American
life. The potato had yielded not
only food, but it had radiated
humor to our daily conversation.
It was once the happiest of all the
vegetables. Its life would be sad
dened by the bootlegger, the pas
sive resister, and the federal In
spectors. Confined to a package
by law, its eyes would have been
dimmed by the alphabetical reve
nue stamps it must bear."
His condemnation again became
specific when he scored the recent
rxKlnrnnnl t rf.i Hps. "In Mav. m32.
when I vetoed a bill for reciprocal
. . ! er- L -r i u. . .
nt nitrh treaties would sacrifice the
American farmer. The new deal
method of testing poison is appar
ently to make the nation swallow
it. By just these reciprocal trea
ties the American market is today
Ivtncr nnenprl tn farmers of Cuba.
Canada, Spain, and Italy."
Charges Politics.
Chartrlnp- politics in the admin
istration of the new deal farm
program, he quoted a letter from
