PRICE FIVE CENTS D STUNT COMMITTEE PLOTS FOR SATURDAY'S MIXER FOOTBALL TEAM TO BE INTRO DUCED TO AWE STRUCK GIRLS Other Plans May Be Uncovered To morrow Faculty to Be In the Fun The stunt committee of the mixer committee met in Dean Mary Gra ham's office last evening, and made plans for a lot of things that are going to take place at the big party in the Armory Saturday evening. In making its plans the committee was guided by the one thought to give everyone every man and woman stu dent the best possible time. Some side-splitting performances will be staged during the course of the even ing, and the Nebraskan, especially the student, who doesn't get there, will be sorry. The football team, coaches and cap tain and regulars, will be there, and every man Jack of them will be Intro duced, so that at the games the girls who are thrilled can say, "I know him, that's Tim' Corey," sort of off hand like, just as one speaks of an old acquaintance among the royalty, or on the police force. Band Will Play. The band will be there too, the band that is practicing now on the pieces that It will play at the big concert October 13, when all of the University will dance for its benefit, and the Herb.

The date cannot be forgotten it is Friday, the Thirteenth, the one day in the year said to be most favorable to the band. The men look upon the combination as most lucky, and antici pate playing their new music on that evening to a crowd of hundreds and hundreds of dancers. Tickets are on sale on the campus', the College Book Store and Harry Por ter's today. They will continue to be sold until the night of the dance, but it is especially desirable that they be bought early in order that the athletic management may know what part of the band's expenses it will have to pay for the trip west The cost of the party will be Just one dollar. pieces that will be played at Portland, Ore., to urge the team on to victory. The faculty will be there, and it has been noised abroad that some of them will give a very special stunt just to show how lovably human they are, when their skins are scratched. And the co-eds will be there. They know what is what, and they are not going to miss that "heavenly" music, or those stunts that are going to pre cede, follow and generally mix up among the dances. The refreshments, last and most im portant to many, will be there, and the refreshments will be of a kind cal culated to make the boarding-house palate dance the tango for pure self congratulation. Committee Meeting The general mixer committee ap pointed by the chancellor the other day will meet again this morning In Faculty hall, and talk over the general plans for the affair. Their decision, with the final notice on the party, will be announced in tomorrow's Nebras kan. The one thing that the committee wishes to emphasize first, last and all the time, is that while this is a gen eral mixer, and everybody and his brother and sister and best girl are expected to come, the first year men and women are the ones to whom the glad hand of welcome is extended, for they should get acquainted at the start with the University's big, democratic, social good times together. a Coach Now -X hutker, coaching Lincoln high school year. PET ZOO RATTLER HAS 82 RATTLES ON TAIL NOW "Zip." the pet rattlesnake of the zoology department, bids fair to outdo the world In the matter of fast living. Only this summer he added two years to hli life; that is, if we believe the old superstition that each rattle means a year in age. And "Zip" has eighty two now! It isn't generally known that the old belief is a fallacy and that really a new rattle is added every time the snake sheds Its skin. Zip's favorite fruit is mice, live ones. When the mouse is put in his pen, he coils and strikes it and In a few minutes the mouse is dead. "Zip" then points the mouse's nose toward his own, stretches his jaws wide open, and good night mouse! TO ADD COURSE IN MERCHANDISING IN COMMERCE SCHOOL The school of commerce Is arrang ing to add a 6hort course in merchan dising to its list of subjects for next year's work. The plan will be similar to that now in use at the universities of Illinois and Minnesota; the aid of local mer chants and specialists from other states will be enlisted and the plan worked out In consultation with the officers of the retailers' association.

GLINT ROSS OUT FORGRID WORK OLD GRAD HELPS VARSITY WED NESDAY NIGHT Short Scrimmage Practice Rhoades and Doyle Make Good Showing Another old grad reported for prac tice laBt evening, in the person of Clint Ross, the giant guard of three former Nebraska teams. He wasted no time, but got immediately into the scrimmage and proceeded to stop var sity rushes just as he used to stop the rushes of the opponents of Nebraska. Ross will be back at his old position of guard tomorrow, when the alumni and varsity clash, and will give no end of trouble to the varsity guards. In the short scrimmage that fol lowed the signal practice the work of Rhoades and Doyle showed up best. Rhoades is a husky sophomore weigh ing about 175, all of which is good bone and muscle. In the opinion of the coaches he is of an ideal build for a fullback, and with a little more ex perience will make a line plunger of no nieau ability. Dobson got into the scrimmage for the first time last night but had to favor his lame shoulder and could do very little. Cameron is rounding into form again and will get into the scrimmage soon. NEW CADETS ARE WORKING ON SCHOOL OF THE SOLDIER The new cadets are drilling hard this week mastering the school of the soldier.

UNIVERSITY HALL SANKHALF INCH Architect Hodgdon Instructed to Draw Up Plans to Make Building Secure Because University hall, the oldest building of Nebraska University, built in 1870, and in constant use since, has sunk one-eighth of an inch in the past two years, the University authorities have instructed Architect Hodgdon to draw up plans to make the building more secure. Mr. Hodgdon has been in Lincoln for the past two days, inspecting the work on the new University buildings, and conferring over the buildings contem plated. While there is not thought to be any danger whatever in the use of University hall, it was decided, to guard against any possible accident, to strengthen the lower walls with stone and iron, and the architect was told to proceed with the plans.
