FRESHMEN DATE FOR
CORNHUSKER BANQUET
But Girls Hesitate Between
Costume Party and An
nual Banquet.
Once again the University fresh
men have shown signs of greenness
when numerous Nebraska co-eds have
been continually asked for dates to
the annual Cornhusker banquet since
the announcement of the traditional
affair. Freshmen have been urged
throughout the week to "get dates
early" for the banquet by some col
lege jokers until the talk of the town
is concerned with dating fbr the
Cornhusker banquet
The Friday night feast is for all
University men only, with the cor
responding co-eds costume show at
the Armory.
Co-eds Not Admitted.
For those who are still in doubt
about the banquet, it might here be
stated that freshmen and their dates
will not be admitted to the Scottish
Rite Temple. The Cornhusker ban
quet has gradually become one of
the most cherished traditions of the
Husker institution and is held at the
end of each football season. This
year the banquet will be on the order
of a celebration of the new memorial
stadium and a rejoicing over the suc
cess of the football team together
with the winning of positions on all
star elevens by Nebraska gridsters.
Freshmen who have already se
cured dates are urged to bring their
fellow classmates instead of their
flapper partners.

movements. The indoor instruction
classes were visited also.

with the showing made by the regi
ment, And commented on the interest
taken in drill by the cadets, and
the state of efficiency reached in the
short time since last September.
The inspection was the routine
semi-annual inspection made by the
area R. 0. T. C. officer. Companies
observed by Major Peyton ' were
Company B in the morning and C
and D in the afternoon.

Childhood Hero to Mingle with
Students at All-university
Affair.
Santa Claus will pay his first an
nounced visit of the year to the Uni
versity Saturday night when he will
arrive at the All-university party at
the Armory amidst a jingle of sleigh
bells and bearing Christmas goodies
which he will distribute.
The identity of Santa will be kept
secret until the night of the party,
according to the plans made at a
meeting of the committee Tuesday
evening. He will arrive at the dance
during the early part of the evening
and will mingle with the students,
affording all present an opportunity
to see the greatest of all childhood
heroes.
Snow, which probably will be lack
ing at all other places in the city
Saturday night, will be present at
the party. Weather men on the en
tertainment committee have been
led by pangs of rheumatism in their
limbs to predict that tha snowfall will
be quite heavy during the latter part
of the program although no snow is
expected until after the intermission.
The storm is not expected to inter
fere with the program, it is even
hoped it will afford much enjoy
ment. Decorate Christinas Tree.
A large Christmas tree will be dec
orated with tinsel and electric lights
and will occupy the center of the
floor. Smaller trees similarly adorned
will be placed around the hall. Christ
mas colors will be used in the decora
tions. As has been the custom at
former all-university parties this
year, the refreshments will be in
keeping with the occasion.
The chairmen for the party will
select their committees and will meet
with them Wednesday evening to
complete the final plans. A general
meeting of the All-university party
committee has been called by Chair
man Kenneth Cozier for Friday eve
ning. The following are members of the
University party decorating commit
tee for Saturday night: Laddimer
Hubka, chairman; Harry Ch using,
Harold Grosshans, John Gray, Ken
neth Conrad, Fred Luchsinger.

Disclose Appalling Condition of
Poverty Among College Students
"Who were the gentlemen talking
to you on the street corner, young
lady?"
"Oh, one was a student, and the
other didn't have any money, either."
Later:
"Who were the girls talking to you
on the street corner, sir?"
"Oh, one was a co-ed, and the
other was hungry, too."
vc that came from the vaude
ville stage, but it's more sternly re
alistic than poetical anyway, we iear.
Listen:
We ended our last downtown date
narlor. as usual. We
were arely settled in our places
when onr companion made herself
heard with a mono-syllable:
"Huh?"
When two minds are a telepathic
;-t mmv words are unnecessary.
We followed her gaze, which was
on two of our neighDors wno
cmcrniKhec bv evening
"Formal season opens tcmignt,
we murmured in explanation, still
somewhat weary from the recent pro
cess of wresting change for a dol
lar bill from a street-car conductor.
"Oh, that's what's the matter, is
it?"
We rebuked her for this crudity by
ignoring her cleverness, and became
diverted Ty the arrival of the re
freshments which the neighbors un
der discussion had ordered. Crushed
fruit, nuts, fruit ice-cream, sirups,
whipped cream, and an enormous
cherry were attempting to defy the
physical law that two objects cannot
occupy the same space at the same
time, in the combination which was
to furnish pastime for the young
lady.
Our friend watched the commenc
ing demolition for thoughtful mo
ment, then licked her lips and
turned to the menu.
"I wonder what that is," said she.
Our heart dropped many inches.
We glanced at the order of the tux-
gentleman. We bright
ened.
He was drinking a cup of hot
chocolate.

MORE SCHOOLS SIGN
FOR RIFLE MATCHES
Additional College Signed
Bring Total Up to Fifty-Three.
Eight additional colleges have
signed contracts for inter-collegiate
rifle matches with Nebraska this
winter. The total number of schools
that will be engaged in telegraphic
meets by the all-university rifle
team is now fifty-three with a pros
pect that several more will be added
in the near future.
The all-university rifle team will
be selected within three or four
weeks, following the inter-fraternity
tournament in the first part of Jan
uary. The basis of selection will be
the showing by the men in the pre
liminary shoots, in addition to the
practice scores made from day to
day.
Schedule Porta Rico Team.
The University of Porto Rico at
Ria Piedras is one of the schools
added to the rifle team schedule. The
others are North Carolina State Col
lege of Agriculture at West Pleigh
during the week of February 9; Mis
sissippi A. & M. on February 9; Uni
versity of North Dakota, Grand
Forks, on March 1; Northwestern

Tickets to the annual Cornhusker
banquet must be obtained today or
Thursday at the Student Activities
office or from members of the Vik
ings and Iron Sphinx, it was an
nounced yesterday by the committee
of Innocents in charge of the tradi
tional affair. To date, the card
boards of admittance have failed to
be in great demand and it is abso
lutely necessary to know the number
of Cornhuskers who will be present
at the Scottish Rite Temple Friday
night by tomorrow in order that ac
commodations can be made.
Banquet Attracts Attention.
The week-end affair is attracting
much attention on the campus but
thus far the ticket sale has been
slow. Plans have been made to make
the 1923 Cornhusker banquet the
"best yet" and it will be possible to
accommodate 1200 enthusiasts in the
dining room. A feast de luxe is
being arranged with Mrs. Rocke of
the Grand hotel preparing a three
course meal. The committee has set
the price at one dollar, which is at
nearly cost, and in order to purchase
the meal on the most economical
basis it is necessary to know just how
many will be present by Thursday.
All fraternity houses have been
requested to close their tables Fri
day night and attend the banquet.
Thirty tickets have been sent to
each fraternity house for the con
venience of students and may be ob
tained from the various presidents.

FORMED ON CAMPUS
Alpha Delta, Literary-Social,
to Take Place of Pen
and Key
Alpha Delta, a literary social fra
ternity was recognized by the com
mittee on student organizations, on
November 5. This fraternity succeeds
an organization known as the Pen
and Key, which was sponsored by
Doctor H. B. Alexander of the De
partment of Philosophy. Alpha
Delta will continue the activities of
its predecessor in encouraging writ
ing and the study of literature among
students.
The members make no claim to
special literary gifts, but are inter
ested in literature, and in improving
their own ability by practice. Many
of them are in the School of Journ
alism, and several are interested in
debate. All colleges are represented,
however, andit is hoped that a rep
resentative group may be maintained
as a nucleus of literary interest on
the campus.
The fraternity has secured a house
at 405 North 25th Street as its resi
dence. The following comprise the charter
membership:
