Lincoln, Nebraska NEWS ROUNDUP Americans awafr news from Panama Plan may be zoning of entire hemisphere to protect shipping By Woerner and Steele. While America has kept her ears at the European keynote listening to the French back up Chamberlain in his refusal to ac cept from the nazis peace terms that were "mere assurances," American diplomats have carried on a conference in Panama which may have highly startling effects. As yet the full import of the de cisions made by the American re publics is not known, but their importance is not questioned. Novel and probably most dan gerous is the plan to enclose the entire American continent south of Canada in a great "safety en velope." This zone would extend outward into the ocean 600 miles off Boston, 750 miles off New York, out to 1,200 miles of Miami, along South America, around Cape Horn and up to Canada again See NEWS ROUNDUP on page 3.

Certainly, we know we should be in the student sec tion but we've decided that we wanted to watch the colored card display. The half has come; the displays begin. We see the cheer leader across the field move forward, shout instructions and count 1-2-3. A pre-arranged part of the stu dent section becomes a blur of flashing colors which instantly forms into a definite and usually elaborate pattern. Four limes this happens with each design as novel as the others. Very nice, you say. Yes, but there must be much planning and work behind it The "brains" is pnetty Gerry Thomas, Coliseum of fice worker. Long before the foot ball season begins, Miss Thomas begins work on the charts which are all-important in producing the designs. Each chart represents one pattern and is divided into squares representing the first 21 seats in student sections F, G, and Thursday, October 5, 1939 Clineburg to edit Law publication Curtiss, Matschullat head juniors, freshmen after Wednesday vote William A.

During intermission, Corn Cobs will lead cheers and Nebraska songs to the accompaniment of Dave Haun's orchestra which will play for the dance. Admission is 10 cents per person. at game are H. An artist is employed to find desirable designs and paint them upon the charts in the actual col ors. Thus each student has a cer tain color to hold up for each in dividual picture. The occupant of a seat finds there a small card bearing the row, section, and seat numbers and the color that each stunt demands. In a rack beneath the seat are the four colored sheets that correspond with the colors on the card. The cheer leader announces stunt number one. The individual student reads from his card the color that must be used for stunt fine. When the leader says three, the card is to go up. To produce the desired effect each student must raise the card the exact sec ond the word "three" is given, and thus the stunts depend on mass cooperation. Miss Thomas must be sure that each color written upon the small individual cards is absolutely cor rect as she fills out the large num ber that is demanded. She does (See CARD TRICKS on page 3.).
