ON THIS ISSUE Desk Editor Wagner Night Editor Reddish alle to wenr your school's colors in t he ttta diuni. whet h or nt homo or on the fields of other's schools. Nebraska students should take that pride in their alma mater and their beine a part of it. and in their athletic teams to wear the school's colors on all possible occa sions. There is n lack of romance anil effusive ness about Nebraska student crowds. Nothing distinguishes them from rival rooters in the stands. The stadium lacks color and elow. The crimson of the feathers is n mark of identifica tion if ever there was one. and serves to create a bond of mutual sympathy Among its wearers. The program of the Innocents calls for the distribution of the feathers today, tonisrht's rally, and tomorrow for the Iowa State frame, and similar distributions before other home cames. Supplies are to be taken to Minnesota r.nd to Kansas, while several thousand are being sent to Portland for Nebraska graduates to wear during the Oregon State game. The Nebraskan feels that students will jump at the opportunity to so advertise their school, and believes that a fine job is being done in attempt ina to bryig at least visual inspiration to Cornhusker audiences. We Mourn A Great Leader I The university mourns today a great loss . ; the passing of a friend and leader, Dr. Charles Fordyce. . J All educational departments of the uni- ; versify pause Bilently with bowed head to do momentary honor to a man they knew as an enlightened and gracious instructor, a man of - honest mind and sound principles. ITis students lament the passing of a friend as well as an instructor, a man of sure counsel and capable advice, a man of fair dealing and kindness. Dr. Fordyce 's work will live on after him. . ..A pioneer in the Nebraska teaching ranks Having come litre in wo nis lanors in me field of educational research and measure ments hnv hernmp stjinrlnrrliyerl facte rd in Use everywhere. His invention of the emotion meter, and apparatus for measuring emotional ;' 'reactions, will be in use for years to come. . But more important than material con " jtributions to his field are his contributions to -jindividual students in counsel and training. (students who now are teaching the youth of jthe state and nation. To them he has always . jbeen a friend and an inspiration, a guiding '.Jpost to whom they referred long after their ! university days. Always encouraging, always helpful, he was never too busy to turn his attention to the problem of the student. . The loss of Dr. Fordyce is indeed a blow t the university, one from which she can ! t erer fully recover. Men of his caliber are not. (Kierywhere to be found. His love for the uni versity, and his devotion to it will be deeply missed, and his efforts and thought for it all the more will be valued. The university bows its head in mourning as another great leader, having done his work, passes on. STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of student life and the university are welcomed by this department, under the usual restrictions of sound newspaper practice, which excludes all libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters must be elQned. but names win be withheld from publication If so desired. Tradition In The Making! The campus lifted its usual quizzical eye brows this morning in supercilious cognizance of a new fashion the adorning of suits, hats, or dresses with large red Nebraska feathers. Sponsored by the Innocents society, the feath ers are being distributed free thru the co operation of Gold and Company to students and townspeople anxious to show their colors as Nebraska fans. It is to be hoped that the fashion will be accepted spiritedly by the campus, and will be continued thru this season and thru the years. Nebraska students are sometimes impressed with the sophistication of being college men and women to the exclusion of such by-play as waving pennants and wearing feathers. But J the numbers already on the campus tagged J with red symbol are proof that this tradition 3 will be willingly propagated. 5 There is a prideful distinction in being Let's Listen To Reason. To the Editor: In Thursday's editorial the editor of the Daily Nebraskan timely voiced the primary necessity in the orchestra boycott situation; the necessity of friendly intelligent discussion instead of the galaxy of rumors and the emo tional displays that have marked the campus with a hostile attitude. Already the unin formed have fostered a series of misunder standings that have incited the local musicians union to a position of direct antagonism. After months of intelligent planning to win an amic able consideration from the union local, im patience and misunderstanding have defi nitely jeopardized the students chance to see fruition of their efforts. The primary disturbing factor is an article appearing in the Daily Nebraskan of Wednes day, September 30. Under the name of Lr.icy Goetz a Nebraskan staff member misinter preted the facts and converted a position em phasizing a friendly businesslike relation into one of belligerent hate. In extracting his story from the notes of assistant reporters, the writer chose those statements that supported his concept of a highly complicated situation. As the result the dean of men. the other faculty advisers, and the student representatives of the movement, who are close to the real situa tion, have found their work misinterpreted in a hisrhly embarrassing manner. The secondary disturbing element that projected the campus into an inane psychologi cal upset was the cancelling of one of the fraternity house parties this week end. Due to the lack of opportunity for the present social chairman to acquaint himself and his fraternity with the regulations passed by the social chairmen's organization last May. the fraternity found itself on the verge of violat ing a ruling of the Interfratemity council. Causht in the maelstrom of misunderstanding and lack of information, the wrhole affair end ed in an emotional display which injected fear into the students and additional anger into the union men. Think for yourself. Here is a matter that is being worked out and handled in conjunc tion with the office of the dean of men and faculty officials. Here is a matter that has been discussed before the student legislative bodies concerned, and each one of them have seen fit to grant the movement a unanimous approval. It has taken a year to finally formu late the plan and policy of the movement, to intelligently anticipate the complications that might ensue. But there are those who are issu ing judgments of the plan on the basis of a week 8 acquaintance. Let's listen to them but listen critically. BILL HOLLISTER.

Extension Service to Offer 62 Courses to Prep Schools CYCLONE ASSAULT 'DIVERSIFIED 'SAYS HUSKER GRID CHIEF (Continued from Page 1.) White and Thurston Phelps have been taking- things easy this week and will be seen Saturday. As usual Coach Bible won't in dicate which eleven men will take the field for Nebraska when the kickoff whistle shrills, but it is likely that the first string regulars will open the contest and leave the game early in order to give the sophomores some needed fame ex perience. Right End Doubtful. Les McDonald, who has been named game captain for Saturday, is a cinch to open at the left flank position. A knee Injury permitting. Elmer Dohrmann will start at the right end. Virg Yelkin and Paul Amen are the two leading flank substitutes. Veteran Fred Shirey is a cer tainty to start at one tackle, but it's a close battle between Jack Ellis and Ted Doyle. Doyle has been getting Coach Bible's nod, but the right tackle berth is a doubtful position. Which guard combination will start is another open question. It may be Ken McGinnis and Bob Mehring or Gus Peters and Lowell Serving to increase the present limited subject offerings of small high schools, the university ex tension division, co-operating with the department of school admini stration, is making available for the eighth consecutive year, a variety of supervised correspond ence courses. A total of 62 prep school sub jects are offered on the corres pondence list this year. Attention this year is being directed along vocational lines in addition to the standard class room subjects. The new vocational courses are: Service station opera tion, showcard writing, dairy hus bandry, clothing construction, practical poultry farming, gas en gines, the modern automobile and diesel engineering. Also added to the curriculum are courses in commercial law, beginning piano, astronomy, American ideals, and elementary and advanced civics. Lessons Supervised. Thru the supervised correspond ence study plan, lessons prepared by the university extension divi sion and the teachers college are sent to the supervisor at the high school, who passes them on to the students. The supervisor collects the completed work and returns it to the university extension division. When th" lessons are graded. both the scores and papers go back to the school from which they came. In addition to re ceiving and mailing the lessons, the supervisor has only to provide periods in the regular school day, and to see that the student works steadily and profitably under con ditions favorable to study. Registrations Increase. During the school year 1934-35, more than 200 schools were served. More than twice as many registrations were received during last year as were received during the entire previous school year and the number of individual courses distributed was four times the number for the previous year. In addition to registrations from schools in Nebraska, there were registrations from schools in South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Mon tana, Nevada, North Carolina, Vir ginia, Michigan and New York. In the year 1935-36 registrations reached the record total of 1,244 and the distribution of Individual courses also made a record total of 5.858. Moie than 300 schools in 14 states were served. The rapidly growing acceptance of supervised correspondence study has enabled the university extension division to employ an instructional staff of unusual com petence. Each staff member is a qualified and professional teacher and has been selected because of his experience and natural fitness to teach by correspondence. English. McGinnis may or may not be in shape, Just like Dohrmann. Peters has been working steadily for a guard position and he may be rewarded with a starting berth. English has a bruised rib but will see service in the tilt. Seaman, Sauer, Hermann and Franks are inexperienced guard candidates. Rugged Charley Brock could last sixty minutes of the toughest football giving a fine account of himself at the pivot position, but Bob Ramey and Bob Ray, two more sophomore snapperbacks, are expected to substitute frequently. Howell Hat Shoulder Injury. Johnny Howell, veteran quarter back, has a shoulder injury that is nearly completely healed. Coach Bible might keep Howell on the sidelines Saturday to av6id the possibility of getting the number one quarterback injured before the big Minnesota game. Ernie White and Bill Andreson can fill the signal-caller's shoes, and Art Ball and Marv Plock could fill in equally well in any of the four backfield positions. Lloyd Cardwell was held down Monday with a bad cold and was able to score only two varsity touchdowns against the frosh. He is feeling swell now and is ready to show his heels to would-be Ames tackles. Cardy's spectacular open field running should be a feature of Nebraska's offense. Hard working Ron Douglas will probably start at the left half post. Doug has a lot of blocking ability despite his mere 167 pounds and when he totes the pigskin, tacklers have a hard time catching up with him. In the tailback position will be Sam Francis. It will be up to Sam to return Fred Poole's touted long distance punts when the two teams start their punt exchanging. Francis also does the placekicklng, some southpaw passing and hits the line with terrific force. Reserve Backs Promising. Reserve backfield men include Harris Andrews, long-distance paw artist; Wild Bill Callihan, powerful fullback substitute; Thurston Phelps, husky field gen eral and passer; and Dick Fischer, speedy halfback runner. Nebraska and Iowa State will balance up q uite evenly. Ne braska's line averages 191 pounds while the Cyclone forward wall will average one pound less. Coach Veenker's backfield is composed of rabbit backs, averaging 168 pounds. Coach Bible's probable starting backfield of Howell, Douglas, Cardwell and Francis averages 183 pounds. Thursday afternoon's practice consisted largely of polishing the offense machine. Coach Bible spent considerable time with his secondary in pass defense, because of Ames' potential strength in the aerial attack. On Friday the Huskers will go thru their customary warming up exercises and a short signal drill as the last workout before the opening conference game. Over 25.000 is the expected grid crowd that will gather In Memo rial stadium to see the Cornhusk ers ofifically open their 1936 grid season. It has been estimated that 16.000 season football books have been sold to students, faculty members and grid fans in sur rounding territory. Bierman May Scout. Up in the press box Saturday will be Bernie Bierman, Minnesota head football mentor, who will scout the game for his Gophers, the Huskers' next grid opponents. Minnesota has an open date this Saturday. Scouts from other Big Six colleges will also scout the game. Coach veerker has been busy whipping his squad into final shape. He has been shifting and re-shifting the Cyclones around in an attempt to fashion an eleven that will stop Nebraska. Probable starting lineups: Town state Nebraska (Cardinal and Cold) (Scarlet and Cream) AS PSI'S WIN OVER SIG'S BY 14 TO 0 One Touch-Football Game Thursday; Four Conflicts Scheduled Today. Thi Kappa Psi defeated Phi Sigma Kappa in the lone touch football game scheduled on the Greek intramural program Thurs day. The final reckoning was 14-0. Pugsley led the scoring with 8 points to his credit. Erwin of the Phi Psi's brought the count up to 14 when he eluded the Phi Sig backs and crossed their goal un touched. The backfield combina tion of Meyer, Schroeder and Chittendon was responsible for most of the work for the losers. Barb competition was originally scheduled to open yesterday but was postponed until Monday, Oc tober 5, due to the failure of team captains to file their entries at an early date. The schedule for the forthcoming games has been com pleted and will be in the hands of the Barb captains on Saturday. Friday's Games: League Four. Beta Theta Pi vs. Kappa Sig ma, 4 o'clock, field 1.

Three or four thousand of the new emblems will be distributed at the rally tonight to those who have been unable to receive one during the day. All students are urged to have a feather by game time Saturday to make a "splendid appearance," and to insure the 100 percent suc cess of this innovation. "It is the duty of the Innocents society to uphold and inaugurate campus traditions, but it is the duty of the student body to support them and to make them live as a true part of the university," Bill New comer, Innocent, exclaimed when asked for his opinion of the pro posed plan. Distribution to Continue. The feathers will continue to be given out as long as the demand can be supplied. Only the -collegians will have them for the Ames game Saturday afternoon. Later, however, they will be given to the "knotholers" upon presentation of their tickets, and prior to the Indiana-Nebraska struggle, the pub lic will be allowed to wear them. Plans have already been advanc ed for shipping approximately 3,000 feathers to both the Minne sota and the Oregon State games. With the football encounter Sat urday will be the inauguration of a new tradition on the Nebraska campus; where goes the football team, also will go their Identifying red and white "turkey" feathers. FROM THE SIDELINES hy Ed Steeves Last spring when everyone was tooting their horn for the Huskers of 1936 we chimed in and tooted ours; when spring came on and some of the horns grew weaker ours grew stronger; when Schwartzkopf quit and prospects lessened we blew harder; when many of the tooters dropped out entirely we soloed and finally reached for a tuba with which to boost the Nebraska eleven up ward. Now, however, we have laid aside our instrument for a day. Last Monday hung plenty of crepe with eleven scarlet jerseymen wielding the tack hammers. Perhaps they were not scarlet. for the traditional school hue fad ed a bit as the Biblemen waged a spotty contest with the school's youngest. The affair is aptly dub bed spotty, for in spots it was mediocre and in spots it was poor. Nebraska's roster, laden heavily with lettermen, minormen, sopho mores, warranted no less than 265 points against the inexeprienced frosh. Perhaps the boys didn't give all. Perhaps they could have done better, but wanted next Sat urday to be a kind of surprise party. Yet when a merchant plugs a watermelon he knifes in the best portion so the buyer is satisfied that he will have delectable and juicy fruit morsels at night. As play went Monday we'll wager that there were plenty of fans who begrudged John K. Selleck dollars. There is, we will grant, a tend ency for the lads to assume a prone position when playing their youngers. Maybe it's fra ternal; maybe the freshmen are tough this year. We only hope that they were previewing car men Monday and not the 1936 Nebraska university football sea son. Many are the vets, the toughies, the talented on the squad, yet the clan throws off a weak perform ance. Why? Could it be that the i tooting was unwarranted; was it ; too much; could they stand the hero worship; or are the men go j ing to waste reposing on the bench j because of surplus? The man in the street believes the latter. In ! several positions there are burlies that take to football much better than the duck takes to the pond. (We hope the coaches don't read this). May we publish our conception of a Husker combination that is the essence of talent economy. Yelkin and McDonald ends; Dorh man and Amen in reserve; Shirey and Brock at tackles; Doyle, Rich ardson and Ellis in reserve; Mehring and McGinnis at guards; Peters, Seeman in reserve: Ramey at center; with English in re serve. Now plus this array in the for ward wall you could name the fol lowing heavy men for replace ments in the weakest spots: Perry Franks, Mercier, Millr, Ray and Sauer. As most of the sports sheets have so unmildly intimated the tackles on the present sqaad show up with the approximate strength of an egg crate, Shirey is the only man with the moth eaten strangle hold on the brute spot. Chucked in various spots for future reference are many men of the unusual type. To be specific the type of men who file their finger nails on their beard stubbles they are tough. Take Charlie Brock, our favorite tune. for instance. He is big tough fast and the ideal man for an ail-American Husker tackle this year, Don't worry about the gap he leaves for there is Big Bob Ramey to fill his shoes and two pairs of sox won't be necessary. To brace Bob, there will be English and Bob Ray. Or there is Wild Bill Callihan who is a granted able plunger and halfback, but he too has the ingredients to make the tackles at H&skerland a situation of which to be proud. Or there are five ends, all with the stuff. This is not only our concept but the daily weep on our shoulders by seven out of thirteen indivi duals. Saturday is Iowa State, a team with likewise many let termen. They, too, made a sloppy showing last week with a scoreless deadlock against Iowa Teachers. Theirs, how ever, was played in the muck and mire and touchdowning was like busting the moon with a pea shooter. Last year they were not so good, the Huskers were. Both teams will play veteran lineups Saturday; Iowa looks better, so far, but if the Huskers have what this column till thinks it has, the Cyclone won't even ruffle their hair.

SCHULTE'S M1LERS TRAIN IN STADIUM FOR KANSAS MEET Matteson, Andrews, Morris, West, Compose Veteran Two-Mile Squad. Undaunted by chilly zephyrs which have been hovering about Memorial Stadium. Coach Henry Schulte'8 two-mile tracksters are working assiduously in prepara tion for their cross-country meet here with Kansas State. Oct. 17. The dual is to be run off between the halves of the Nebraska-In diana football game. Husker lettermen returning to the fold this year are Fred Mat teson, Wilson Andrews, Bob An drews, Bob Moms and Bob West. It is dubious, however, whether Bob Morris, star half-miler on Schulte's Big Six championship team, will be able to take part in the meet, as he has been beset by illness. Fred Koch, Alfred Kuper, Art Hendrikson, Bob Allen and Paul Owlens are sophomores upon whom Schulte is placing the burden of bolstering the letterman-squad of Matteson, Andrews, Morns, West. In practices thus far, these first year runners are showing indica tions of becoming good prospects for the varsity track team. The Kansas Aggies, incidentally, the Big Six two-mile cham pions, and several members of this team are coming back for an other season of competition. Wheelock, Aggie miler who ab sconded with the Big Six title in his division, has received his sheepskin. His loss will be partly offset by the return of such men as Robinson, who placed second in the two-mile run at the Big Six meet held at Lincoln this spring; Sweat and Redfield. Should occasion entail. Coach Ward Haylett can use Dills and Eberhardt, both half-milers, in the cross-country event.
