Loyalty
Saturday's game with Iowa State closes the home foot
ball season, one of the most successful in several years. The
Huskers have done themselves proud and are deserving of
more than a polite handshake for their efforts.
Tonight's rally will be a fine opportunity to demon
strate that same school spirit which was so prevalent dur
ing Homecoming weekend an opportunity to find out
whether the enthusiasm and pep displayed then was sincere
or merely a mood of the moment.
Tassels, Cobs and students will rally 'round the team
tonight at 7 in front of the Union. Although a definite pro
gram for the rally seems to be non-existent, the cheerlead
ing squad will be there, no doubt, willing and able to lead
cheers and songs.
Surely no loyal Cornhusker wants to see the formation
of a "630 club," such as was organized at Iowa State after
their 63-0 Homecoming defeat by Oklahoma. Evidently the
UN student body is to blame for the lack of enthusiasm,
since the team itself still has two games to complete its
schedule and is showing signs of steady improvement rather
than slovenly disregard for the outcome.
Let's be sure that we, as the student body, do every
thing in our power to demonstrate our confidence in the
Huskers as they meet Iowa State Saturday. The team's en
thusiasm on the field is dependent in great part on our
spirit in the stands. We can t let them down now, or ever,

Open Letter to Panhelknic Council and All Sororities
Chained Thereto: j-"
It was with many a chuckle that I read the letter which
you directed to Kosmet Klub in the November 12 issue of
The Daily Nebraskan. You seem to be laboring under the
misapprehension that any girl connected with the pressure
group, forcing the printing of your letter, is qualified to be
considered as a "Nebraska Sweetheart." Also it seems you
have the impression that such a girl would be backed by any
campus organization.
It seems small, petty and typically childish to attempt
to discredit such a traditionally outstanding organization
as the Kosmet Klub in order io combat your so-named
"strong-arm, faction," if such a group exists. If you are sin
cerely interested in the betterment of this university, why
not back with all of your enthusiasm this established uni
versity organization, which, for many more years than you,
has exerted its efforts toward that very goal which you
profess to be yours.
If you have any quarrel with this mythical entity you
call "faction," do not make it at the expense of the Kosmet
Klub. Meet them on their own field of battle.
Sincerely,
Bud Wehrman
P. S. Once before I wrote a letter asking Panhellenic
why it thought it had the right to dictate policies to any
group of organized houses on this "democratic" ( ?) campus.
As yen have received no answer. I hereby nominate Elsie,
the Borden Cow, for "Nebraska Sweetheart."

has been found, the Rag-Corn-
husker Hatchet has returned.
It seems that Dean Skokan was
cleaning out the Cornhusker safe
for the univeristy auditors (or im
mediately after the university au
ditors had left, we are not quite
sure on that pomt), and there
under a pile of used $10 bills lay
the Hatchet.
The trophy itself is not too im
posing, being merely an ordinary
hatchet (in the Gillan Clan no
hatchet is ordinary, but that is
what Skoken said, and he was
here before the war.) Engraved
on the metal part are the words
"Rag-Cornhusker Hatchet 1941,
Cornhusker 2, Rag 0." One must
go far brek into Nebraska history
however, to uncover the true
meaning of this atrophied meat
cleaver.
In the early days of our white
state, before the arrival of the
redoubtable Spaniards DeVoto and
Colorado, two Indian tribes were
struggling for the control of what

Wednesday
Helen Rulla and Marjorie Bau

treasurer and Betty Lu Larson
was named publicity chairman of
Veter-Anns, ex-servi c e w o m e n
club, at the group's Wednesday
meeting.
A special dinner meeting, with
servicewomen's clubs from other
Lincoln colleges as guests, is
scheduled for December 5. Phyl
lis Greer, Jean Cherry, Ann
Kuncl and Evelyn Hacker were
appointed to the decoration and
arrangements committee for the
dinner.
Publicity chairman Betty Lu
Larsen reported Veter-Anns mem
bership at 63, with any ex-serv
icewoman eligible to join. Miss
Larsen said tickets for the Vet

is now known as West Lincoln.
One tribe was the Ragen-po-hugs,
commonly spoken of as the Rags,
and the other was called the Corn
huskers. Ragen-po-hug is trans
lated to mean "in favor of serv
ing firewater by the seashell
full," while Cornhuskers meant
"believing in the Chancellor."
After appealing thier case to
the United Tribes they decided
to settle the dispute by single
combat of the tribe champions.
The Rags wanted to make it a
fire-water drinking contest, while
the Corns wanted to decide the
issue by a public debate.
Compromise.
They finally decided on pitching
horse-shoes as a compromise.
(This may sound simple to one
who is not up on his Indian lore
but in those days horse-shoes was
quite a game, due mainly to the
fact that they left the horse on
the shoe.)
The match was going into the
final inning or what ever horse
shoe matches go into, and the I
Rag Indian was winning handily.
Then the crafty Corn warrior
picked up the hatchet and did
away with both the Rag champion
and the horse he was pitching
thence the "two after the "Corn
husker" on the Hatchet.
What about the "1941" you
ask? That was the Cornhusker's
social security number. This, then,
is the true Ftory of the Rag
Cornhusker Hatchet.
Dr. Koo Gives
Last Address
At Convocation
In the last convocation address
of Religion in 'Life week last
night, Dr. T. Z. Koo, deligious
leader from China, stated that
Christianity is composed of three
distinct elements.
"First," he said, "it is a person
ality." He explained that every
decision each person makes be
tween right and wrong either
strengthens or weakens his per
sonality. If he makes a right de
cision, it is easier thereafter for
him to make right decisions, but
if he makes a wrong one, it is
that much easier for him to make
wrong ones.
Dr. Koo explained also how
Christianity changes one's atti
tude toward people. "It devel
ops a feeling of brotherhood in
a Christian toward other people,"
he asserted.
Lessens Fear.
And finally, it tends to lessen
ones fear of death, Dr. Koo
stated. To illustrate, his point
he used the Bible quotation, "I
shall feel no evil, for Thou art
with me."
He told about his life in China
during the time he worked with
the Chinese railroad, and when
he was in Japanese-occupied
China.
His address was followed by a
meditation and worship service.
At the beginning of the medita
tion, Dr. Koo played a flute solo
of a Chinese song. Warren
Thomas directed the meditation.
