The game was not spectacular in
any way due to the fact that the
Varsity and Frosh squads have been
practicing only a short time, Verj
little team work was displayed by
either team and most of the scores

Clever Stunts and Skits Presented
By Co-Eds at Annual Husker Party
Original costumes, clever stunts, re
freshments and dancing were the
nuiin features at the Girls' Cornhusker
parly, held Friday evening In the
gymnasium of the Armory. The party
was a distinct success rrom every
point of view, and successfully clung
to the college tradition which makes
the annual Cornhusker party, the
biggest all-girl affair of the year.
Almost every conceivable character
was represented by the costumed
co-eds. The Gold Dust twins, Martha
Washington, newsies, soldiers, sailors,
troubadours, fairies, clowns, ghosts,
Japanese and Chlnesemen and wo
men, bathing beauties and numerous
other male and female characters all
were present.
The entertainment consisted ot
eight stunts given by different girls"
organizations. The Alpha Phis who
had first place on the program, pre
sented as their offering a stunt called
'"iicKiing the Ivories." music mas
ter at a black cloth piano with white
paint keys, was able to produce
charming music, with the aid of sev
eral girls serving as pedals and
fingers. "The Back from the Front"
stunt, given by Kappa Kappa Gamma,
was a girls' gymnasium class at drill.
However, the girls were so attired
that it was impossible to tell If they
were going or coming. Even their
feet and their hands refused to beha've
in a natural manner.
Murder, terror and blood reatured
' The Bloody Key" stunt, given by the
1232 R Freshman girls dormitory.
The plot was woven around the ever
famous Bluebeard and his numerous
wives. One particularly blood-curdling
scene showed the heads of his
strangled wives hanging by the hair
to a wall. The Chi Omegas gave a

FYoMritl contributions will be re

Two Committees Working.
Two committees, a publicity body,

by Valora Hullinger, '23. have been
spreading news of the celebration
since Thursday.
"Students at Nebraska do not real
ize the pressing need of some united
action toward the relief of suffering
students in Central and Eastern
Europe because conditions are so dif
ferent here." was the version of one
student
In a large number of cases the
suffering students are from other
European nations, America and from
Oriental countries. They were in
these centers of learning, studying, in
191 and are still there, unable to re
turn to their own lands, and unable to
receive any support from their
families. In Vienna alone there are
more than 5,000 students from Euro
pean. American and Oriental coun
tries, preparing themselves In the
world's most technical schools, for
the places which they must Oil In the
economic, political and educational
life of their countries.
Herbert Hoover is chairman of the

The relief scheme will be as far as

Toastmaster.
Over three hundred cheering Ne
braska men crowded the Red Roo!
oi the Y. M. C. A. to overflowing Fri
day evening at the Annual Cornhusk
er banquet Although the banquet
was postponed from the week before,
no enthusiasm was lost Every ticket
to the celebration commemorating a
successful season on the gridiron had
been sold over two days before. Th-i
need for a larger room for Univer
sity gatherings was felt more than
ever during the evening.
While the co-eds made merry r
the Armory, the men were listeninfc
to the Southern Rag-A-Jazz orchestra,
or watching motion pictures of tho
Cornhusker football team conquering
the Rutgers veterans in the battle on
the Polo grounds in New York City
on Election Day. None of the rowdi
ness which had threatened to de
stroy this tradition in former ears
was in evidence at the banquet Fri
day evening, but the fellowship and
Nebraska spirit which predominated.
!oroughly established the custom oi
eluding the football season in this
manner. .
The banquet room could not hold
all who attended and the Blue Room
was coiverttd to a banquet room to
accommodate the overflow. During
the dinner the orchestra struck tip
"U-U-UNI" and the students re
sponded with Nebraska songs and
cheers. Members of the team were
cheered and f the yc-Ils reached a
climax when a Nebrskea pennant was
placed ?bove the speaker's tabic by
the football captain. Bill Day.

Mr. Van Orsdel trnpressivcl;.
opened the program by asking all
those present to rise and pay tribute
to those Nebraska grid men, mem
bers of the "N" Club who had passed
on. There was in thf minds of th:;
students, as brought out later by
Captain Day, the memory of
"Dusty" Khoades and of Joe Kaley,
who sacrificed their lives on the bat
tleficlds of France.
Dean Buck in i-spondmg to the
totust "Nebraska" yt-mphzjiized that
the students, who were in reality the
University, should all be working for
one thing above all others, the wel
fare of Nebraska. He congratu'ated
the students on their fine spirit anu
spoke of the fact that ten colleges
were represented at the banquet "If
Is the students who set the traditions
of the school," he said, "and every
expression of thought and every ac
tion of each one of you is watched."
Dean Buck revealed to those in the
far corners of the room some of the
conversation which had supposedly
been going on and announced that
Dean Engterg had confessed that bis
one ambition in life was to nave
some new dance step or some brand
of clgarets named after him.
