SANTA APPEARS AT
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Freshmen Delighted at Ap
pearance of Childhood
Hero at Mixer.
Santa Claus, true to his promise,
appeared last night at the All-university
Christmas mixer and thereby de
lighted all the freshmen present. The
decoration committee did its work
well and mistletoe hung at intervals
along the rafters contributed many
surprises to the merrymakers. Deco
rations were in keeping with the holi
day season and consisted of red ar.d
ereen streamers running from all
sides of the Armory to a large Christ
mas tree in the middle of the floor.
Smaller trees lined the sides of the
floor. ...
The Christmas mixer is the biggest
All-university party given during the
school year and is becoming a trali-
tion of the school- The mixers given
so far this year have all been de
cided successes and the committee is
entitled to considerable credit for
this fact. There was a time when
University mixers were considered a
standing joke by many of the stu
dents. The fact that they are now
a success indicates the growth and
improvement of real Comhusker
spirit and loyalty.
Formal Season
Profitable to
Jake Bodinsky
The formal season had opened and
no one was mqfre delighted than
Jacob Bodinsky. He sat behind the
counter in his little dingy shop and
gazed at his stock- There were rirgs,
watches, alarm clocks, banjos, type
writers, spectacles and suit cases. In
fact, there was a sample of most any
thing which is capable of being pos
sessed. To the rear of the store stood a
large rack and on this rack hung
clothing and it was a singular type
of apparel. Every article was black.
Every article was spotless. Most of
the coats bore silk lapels and some
even flaunted swallow tail effects.
Suddenly tbe door opened, a bell
tinkled and the figure of a young
college man appeared in the open
ing. "Oy," welcomed Jacob, "Vat you
bev?"
Tbe youth flushed and gazed cau
tiously without Then leaning over
the counter, "Have you any tuxes?
Good looking ones?"
"Oy, mebbe," grinned Jacob,
"What hev you?"
The voune man dug into his pocket
and produced some silver cuff links.
"Oy! Too many already, uoi
nothing else?"
"Huh?" grunted the youth.
"Too many cuff links. Need some
thing else."
"You mean you won t but I nave
to Lave one. Have to have it to
night Ye Gods! He sank onto a
rickety stool.
"Mebbe the coat?" questioned the
merchant
Friend student gazed at his room

"Oy, and the hat?"

SHOW PICTURES OF
NOTRE DAME GAME
The traditional windup of the
football season was held Friday night
at the Scottish Rite Temple when
1500 Cornhuskers representing the
student body, alumni, and faculty
members attended the annual Corn
husker banquet
The twenty-one letter men of the
1923 football team, together with
the grid coaches and assistants, the
N club, and fifty of Lincoln's most
prominent business men were hon
ored guests of the evening. The ban
quet hall was decorated with Scar
let and Cream and Cornhusker spirit
and hilarity, tempered with just
enough seriousness, gave the Husker
enthusiasts a most satisfied feeling
throughout the evening.
Pictures of the victory of Ne
braska over Notre Dame were shown
as a pre-banquet feature, the film
being shown in the lodge rooms. Each
time a Husker player would make a
substantial gain the room resounded
with hearty cheers of the spectators.
Coach Schulte introduced the mem
bers of the team and gave personal
secrets of each. Members of the
Scottish Rite through whose courtesy
the hall was acquired were also in
troduced, f
After a two-course banquet had
been served Welch Pogue, president
of the Innocents, introduced John
D. Clarke, of the class of '05 vice
president of the . Indiana Standard
Oil company, who acted as toastmas
ter. Mr. Clarke maintained a con
stant flow of humor throughout the
program. In his opening remarks
he told of the important part that
football played in the development
of the University of Nebraska. He
also read a telegram from Victor B.
Smith, president of the alumni asso
ciation, expressing regret that he
could not be present
Bob Manley, a graduate of the
University in '97, talked on "The
Game and the Bleachers." As a mem
ber of the Omaha alumni he ex
plained the game as it is seen from
the side of the spectator who is not
a student
Coach Schulte spoke on "The
Game and the Team," and declared
that he had a hard position to fill in
trying to make up on the program for
Coach Fred T. Dawson, who was un
able to attend the banquet Schulte
said that the Nebraska coaches
worked to instill the highest ideals
in Husker athletes and to get them
to play the game for the sake of the
game itself, and to give it all they
had all the time.
Rufus Dewitz was called upon to
say a few words as captain of a team
that was never scored upon and
never lost a game. The ineligible
captain urged Nebraska men to turn
out for athletics.
Regent W. L. Eates in his toast
"The Game and the State," asserted
that a good football team is an as
set and advertisement to the Uni
versity and also the state. He also
stated that he did not think that
football was taking the place of edu
cation at Nebraska.
Chancellor Samuel Avery who
spoke on "The Game and the Uni
versity," told of the team work and
co-operation made possible in the
school through the football team- One
