Page 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, September 20, 1946 Cheerleader Tryouts Set; Larger Yell Squad Planned Cheerleader tryouts will be held in the Union ballroom tomorrow morning at 10, according to Bob Coonley, president of the Student Council.

The planned squad for the com ing year will include four men, four girls, and the yell king, mak ing a total of nine members. Al though this is somewhat larger than the usual squad, it will be necessary to have this number be cause of the expected increase in the number of students and the larger crowds which will be in at tendance at the football games this year, according to Coonley.

This will be the first rally of the year, and will be held next Thursday at 6 p. m. before the football team leaves by train at seven. All students who are interested in trying out for the yell squad should meet at the Union ballroom at 10 Saturday morning, where they will be instructed in one or two simple yells, and then judged on potential ability, personality. co-ordination, and pep, Room Space Still Available In Huskerville There is still considerable space In the dormitories for single veter ans at Huskerville, the univer sity's housing project at Lincoln Army Air Field, Max Swan, Husk erville manager, announces.

It looks as though candy passings will be regular Monday night occur rences at the rate things are go ing. Julie Ann House has called it a pinning while sister Martha Clark shares the happiness with Hank Jones. Speaking of good deals the pinning of Ann Doudna and Reggie Davies looks quite se rious. Jim Ward added the fin ishing touches to a beautiful sum mer by pinning Bette Hecken lively, and sister Dottie Bennison is sporting the pin of See ChaDin. Jan Soulck has made known her marriage which takes nlace todav to Tom Crooks. This looks like the best deal possible.

U. pin to Ware Christianson via the postman after a wonderful sum mer in California only to be equaled by Barb Turk who ended her whirl with Jack Clemens early this summer. Pat Lee and Bill Stunkel make a happy couple whose summer romance was completed with the pinning. Helen Humel has been connected with a pin but as yet no one knows who the D. U. man is. For long war years the males on campus have been few but the women are now prepared to give you the show. The femmes will back-pedal, throw in the towel and give you the floor. Take it away.
