Council Votes
Class Dismissal
for K-State Rally
Building Program
Also Considered
Recommendation that classes be
dismissed at 11 o'clock Wednesday
morning in order that students
may participate in a football rally
was made by the Student Council
in a special session called by Pres
ident Harold Benn yesterday after
noon. Inasmuch as Dean T. J. Thomp
son, dean of student affairs, had
already given his approval to the
scheme with the proviso that fa
vorable action also be taken by the
council, passage of the proposal
by the student governing body was
tantamount to putting it into ef
fect. This will be the first rally of
the year to be held during the day
and will realize the hopes ex
pressed by countless students to
the Council.
Building Report.
Roger Cunningham, co-chairman
of the building program commit
tee, reported that it will be the
aim of the group to advance the
cause of the University's proposed
building program without undue
publicity which would put it in
the light of lobbyists. Student
Council members will get in touch
with legislators in their respective
districts and members of the state
planning board during the Thanks
giving vacation.
When school resumes again, stu
dents will be appointed from every
legislative district in the state so
that during the Christmas holidays
every senator in the unicameral
will be contacted and urged to
work toward realization of the
University's much needed and long
neglected building program. The
Board of Regents has already met
with the state planning board set
up by the last legislature, and

will take part in the presentation
of this year's Messiah. Tradition

For novelty he suggested "Calm"

placing of subject matter used in
an unusual manner. Especially
striking is "On the Hoof" because
of its classical attainment. "Coon

simple animal tracks in the mud.

Committee
Quashes Cut
In Ball Price
Present Plans Move
On Without Alteration
As Ticket Sales Lag
The faculty committee on stu
dent social affairs met today and
squashed all prospects for a reduc
tion in the present $2.00 price
of Military ball tickets. According
to Prof. Herbert P. Davis, acting
chairman, the committee approved
present plans for the ball, includ
ing the regular $2.00 general ad
mission price and $1.25 tickets
for R.O.T.C. officers and basic
students in uniform.
Colonel Oury was present at the
meeting to explain the present
policies of the Military ball com
mittee. Due to lack of time, said
Professor Davis, the policies were
not discussed in detail, tut Colonel
Oury was asked to prepare a com
plete report covering all aspects
of the ball for the next meeting of
the committee sometime in Janu
ary. "I Am Ready."
Earlier in the day, when asked
about a story in the Sunday Daily
Nebraskan which stated that there
might be a reduction in the price
of general admission tickets from
$2.00 to $1.25, Colonel Oury stated.
"I am ready to co-operate with
the authorities in the matter."
It was pointed out previous to
the faculty committee meeting
that a cnange in price at this time
would entail m.ich trouble and ex
pense for all the printed posters
would have to be changed or
junked and the tickets would have
to be reprinted. In justification of
the reduced price to cadets in uni
form, the argument has been made
that these students put in three to
four hours work on decorations
and rehearsals.
Ticket Sales Lag.
To date, 2,000 general admission
tickets and about 1.500 spectators'
tickets have been checked out to
cadets, according to the military
department. Sales have lagged so
far but are expected to pick up
after Thanksgiving vacation. Last
year, about 900 general admission
tickets and approximately 4,000
spectators tickets were sold.

professor of slat 1st its, revealed
that lhe modern phenomenon of
business cycles appeared first In
Japan In the late 18th century.
This revelation upsets the current
belief of economists that the busi

land about 178.1. Trof. Spurr's
study proves they occurred in
Japan several years previous.
In his article recently published
in the Journal of Political F.c.on

Kight senior students of the
University were elected into the
Phi Beta Kappa, nation scholastic
fraternity, at a banquet high
lighted bv an adress on the T. V. A.

"T. V. A. Justification Uncertain"
"The T. V. A. Is a great act of
faith. Whether it is justified or
not, our generation cannot say,"
Dr. Stoke told the hundred mem
