If's rally no
fun being sick
Missing out cn the biggest
rally in years were three stu
dents who are confined to the
infirmary. Those who couldn't
experience the thrill of skipping
class and rallying through all
the buildings were Elizabeth
Ann Clark. Ralph Shaw an
Curtis Pillsbury.

Must have been too crowded around the door for these "bov.'l
happy" fellows, so they decided not to wait when there was a win
dew handy. This scene is strangely reminiscent of mass exits made
from sorority house windows Sunday night.
Bowl bid fires students
(Continued from Page 1.)
Anderson, of the Stuart theater,
was amazed when asked if the
ralliers had broken into the the
atre. "We've had 20 paid admis
sions all dav. but the entire house
l.&OO seats is full! They've
ln here twice ... First about
1:30, and then they were back at
3:00," he stated.
The Lincoln theatre reported
about 100 students had forced
their way in at about 2 p. m. "But
they left just as soon as they'd
given a few yells." the cashier
there said. The mob then went to
the Nebraska theatre and joined
the audience for a while. The
Variety theatre reported no trou
ble. "We've got our doors locked !"
the cashier explained.
A Husker onslaught 2,000
ftrong, slurried over the campus,
across the mall, around and thru
buildings carrying a huge sign un
officially announcing "No School
Today..." in defiance of the of
ficial word from Dean Thompson's
office that classes were being held
yesterday morning.
Dean pleads case.
At social science hall, about 1
p. m.. Dean Thompson pleaded
with the mobsters to return to
classes. "We've had a wonderful

thing happen to us," the dean said,
"but you can carry a good thing
too lar. . . . Let's go back to
classes." Unmindful of Thompson's
admonition, the crowd gave a
cheer for him, and surged on to
new fields to rally in.
Shortly after 11 a. m. the crowd
had grown to almost 3.000. and
they overflowed the streets head
ing downtown. Ending their trek
at the Lincoln hotel, the jubileers
continued their fun in the lobby.
on the mezzanine, and in the radio
station.
The lobby was strangely resem
blant of the interior of a sardine
can. Paper was torn to confetti
proportions and strewn every
where. Contents of waste baskets
were dumped on the heads of par
ticipants and bystanders. Hotel
officials stood open-mouthed. About
18 rousers forced their way into
an eight-passenger elevator. Re
volving doors did not provide much
of an obstacle to progress; the
Huskers merely opened windows
and climbed into the lobby.
And cops, too.
Finally most of the crowd
seped out into P SL. where Cheer
leader Elton Wiley led the bunch
in songs and yells. Hermie Rrhrig
and Vike Francis arrived in the
sidecar of a policeman's motor
cycle, and were carried on the
shoulders of several of the huskier
Huskers to the door of the radio
station. Station KFOR hurriedly
set up equipment and broadcast
the rally. In speaking on the air,
Rohrig and Francis said prac
tically in unison, "It's too wonder
ful to be true . . . and we ll sure
win!"
On its second trip through the
downtown area, the throng went
to the Capitol building, where they
chanted for Governor Cochran. The
governor being in Chicago, Insur
ance Director Smrha gave a short
talk to the noisy crowd. State
house employees thoroughly en
invwl the half hour's interlude of
yelling. Cheerleader Wiley led ;
cheers for Cochran. Governor-elect
Griswold, Petsch and Luther.
Biffer worried. j
The hoarse crowd headed back
to the campus now to greet Chan-!
cellor Boucher. On 14 th St., be
tween P and Q. the gang was met
by Coach "Biff" Jones. The Biffer
stood in the middle of the street '
and told them that he greatly ap-;
preciated their spirit, but he also ,
worried slightly, he told them ;
good-naturedly, that any of his j
players would risk pneumonia
racing to and fro in the cold air,
and yelling themselves into a sore '
throat.
From little acorns j
First of this series of rallies ;
came Sunday midnight after the '
official word had been announced, i
Approximately 2.500 students
hopped from warm beds and study j
halls to carouse the streets in a j
spontaneous display of spirit. Men ,
entered the upper floors of sorority
houses and Raymond hall, bringing
girls to join the pajama parade.
Toes, fingers, ears, and noses were
blue-cold, but spirits were white
hot From ag campus came word
about 10 a. m. that classes were
officially being held, . but the
phone-voice from Dean Burr's of
fice said, "I don't know. tho. . .
they've mobbed thru here three or
four times." Ag professors dis
missed their classes unofficially,
and the farm kids raised cain in
stead of corn.
No one spared.
Mobs of city campus cut-ups
swarmed the ag campus, disrupt
ing classes indiscriminately. When
a part of the throng swelled into
a cooking class there was a pan
of biscuits just out of the oven;
when they'd left, the biscuits had :
done likewise. Ag coeds in a j
sewing class screamed shrilly as '
they were interrupted in the midst
of trying on some of their home-
work by the jolly-time kids. Stu-'
dents in a botany class lecture j
were - rudely awakened by the .
mob throwing pails of cold water
on them.
The DAILY NEBRASKAN may
not be a prophet, an oracle or any
thing of the sort, but its hopes of
last year seem to have come true
during this first semester.
To quote from an editorial on
vh K 1Q40 hv Dick deBrown,
opening publication for the second
semester of last year:
"Tangible results in the way of
a bigger and better University of
Nebraska will be the aim of the
new DAILY ftaff. This does not
mean that we can expect a new
million dollar library to shoot up
between sosh and teachers one of
these frosty mornings or that Ne
braska will play in the next Rose
bowl game, but a little initiative
and drive can produce handsome
results, as witness the Union build
ing. . ."
The two hopes expressed in t
editorial have come true this
mester. First the bequest of I
L. Love made possible a new
brary which will "not bulge at
scams." And now the Nebra:
football team has earned itsel
