The members of the Southern Rag-a-Jazz
Orchestra offered their serv
ices gratis, for the men's Cornhusker
Banquet, which was held Friday night
In the Y. M. C. A. For several years
past It has been the custom of this
orchestra, composed entirely of stu
dents, to play free of charge for the
traditional feast commemorating the
closing football season.
That the selections played Friday
nlgiit were appreciated was evidenced
by the applause that greeted the art

called uron to play. When the orches
tra uuck "U-U-Uni" In fox trot time
and later chaneed Into "They'll Be
no Lawyers There," the hub-dub in
the banauet room was at Its ikak,
The haunting strains of "Avalon,"
"Whispering." and the saucy song of
a wnrmnr rllm "I'T6 Got a Bimbo
Down on Bamboo Isle," were played
only as the Southern Raga-Jazx can
interpret them.

BUCK EXPLAINS NEW
RULES FOB STUDENTS
Dean
Makkes Explanation of
Ruling Regarding
Courses.
To clarify the meaning of the new
ruling requiring Juniors and Seniors;
to take at least two-thirds of Sailor
subjects, Dean P. M. Buck, Jr., makes
the following explanation.
All the University cuursese are di
vided Into two groups, namely junioi
and senior. Any student ranking
above a sophomore must take 66 2-3
per cent or more of the senior gioup
subjects. In all subjects that are
elected" out of the junior group, the
student must receive a grade of 8C
per cent or more. In ease the gradu
falls below 80 per cent, the student
will receive only four-fifths ciotlit for
the course.
For example: A student rankij.? as
a Juinor li-.kes a five-hour Freshman
botiiny course. At the end of Uie
semester he receives a grade of 75.
Instead of receiving five hours r.iedn,
in' will receive only four. But if he
l.au rereiveU a grade of' 85 he would
have bte nelititled to the lull five
hours credit,

Half-pint Ut Kick fluid
ness of the proverbial powder horn,
got Into the building through the
basement window to the Janitor's of
ilce on the north side. From this room
they got into the main corridors
easily because the lock on the door
to the Janitor's room Is opened from
the Inside without a key. Evidently
they left the building froui one of
the basement doors which also c'D
be opened from tho Inside without a
key.
This rather unsuccessful attempt to
rob Bessey Hall of Its refreshing pre
servatlves Is the second one within
two months. .Several weeks ago on
a Sunday night the lock on the base
ment storeroom was taken out In or
der to get a supposed barrel of al
cohol. But the barrel was empty, so
the prowlers got nothing. Indications
point to the theory that both of these
attempts were made by someone la
miliar with the building and its de
partments. PREPARE TO

for Celebration of
Tomorrow Eve.
Indications point to a large Christ
mas celebration on the campus to
morrow night, under the auspices of
Black Masque, which has charge ot
the program. An electrically illumi
nated tree decorated with colored
globes by the Engineering Depart
ment will be the feature or the cam
pus gayety. The University Chorus
directed by Mrs. Raymond, will lead
community singing. The band will
plav on the campus during the cele
bration, which begins at 7 and ends
at 8.
A barrel will be placed underneath
the lighted hemlock for the fund
toward relieving the conditions which
European students and professors are
facing this winter. Contributions
will be Individual, rather than by
organizations. Nebraska's offering
will make a good showing In com
parison with that of other univer
sities, if every' student gives only a
nominal sum.

SLATE NEARS COMPLETION
Chance That Easterners May Come
to Nebraska Field
in 1922.
The University of Nebraska
Oornhuskcrs will play University
of Pittsburgh football November
;", 1921. Director of Athletics
Fred V. Luehring announced
Monday morning that the game
with the Pitt Panthers had been
definitely scheduled.
According to Director Luehring
Glenn Warner and his squad of
howling Panthers may make the
journey to Lincoln in 1922 for a
game on Nebraska field. The
Ilnsker institution will probably
give the Pitt crew a good offer
and it is certain that a bumper
crowd woidd greet them should
they decide to oarry the scrap
into Nebraska territory.
The signing" of the contract
with Pitt means that the Pitt team
will probably be the lone eastern
opponent on the Nebraska schedule
for 1921. Pitt rates as one of the
four big teanm of the east and the
fact that Nebraska Is hooking up with
another big eastern school means
that the Scarlet and Cream is receiv
ing more recognition in football
circles.
Slate Nearly Complete.
By concluding the negotiations with
Pitt the Nebraska schedule for 1921
Is only two short of completion. The
Cornhuskers' slate now includes
games with Drake, Oklahoma, Pitt.
Kansas and Ames with the Michigan
Aggies as a contender.
Basketeers Busy this Week.
After two weeks of preliminary
practice, basketball at the Cornhosker
school is ready for a semi-formal

Methodists at the University Armory.
The Husker-Cotner engagements are
