Erection of Alumni
To Unito Old College Chums I Plan
Longings to meet old college chums
can be more easily satisfied in the
near future through the development
of a new idea in alumni affairs. The
September number of "The Nebraska
Alumnus" contains an article de
scribing the cooperation of eighty
colleges and university associations
of America to establish inter-collegiate
alumni hotels in some forty
outstanding centers of America as
centers of alumni activity.
At these hotels, it is planned, the
alumnus will find on file his own
alumni magazine and a list of his
own college alumni living in the im
mediate locality. The Inter-collegiate
jAhunni Hotel is non-exclusive and
will serve as a place to which the
visiting alumnus may go -when in a
strange city to find the names and
addre&es of his fellow alumni living
in the community. It also forms head
quarters for the man who Is in and
out of town.
For over a year a large committee
representing eighty colleges and uni
versity alumni associations has been
working to make the national move

Xi Delta Enforces
Green Button. Decree
The distribution ol the green
freshman buttons among the new
girls has been very successful so far.
Xi Delta members in the different
sororities have required their fresh
men to wear them. A sophomore has
been appointed in each of the dormi
tories to enforce the wearing of these
buttons by freshmen there.
The spirit of this tradition is, on
the whole, better this year than ever
before. Girls feel that they are not
being made ridiculous or conspic
uous. They realise that Xi Delta
sponsors this movement to make
freshman girls feel at home and to
create friendship between themselves
and the upperclass girls.

Having disposed of the annual
freshman-varsity game, Coach Bearg
sent his gridstsrs through a chalk
talk and light signal practice yeste
day afternoon for th beginning of
a final week of preparation for the
contest with Drake next Saturday.
Blue Howell, Bill Bronson, Elmer
Holm, and Jug Brown and Prank
Dailey alternating, formed th first
string combination in the signal prac
tice. Joe Weir and Roy Mandery
were at the end positions and Cap

Ted James were at their usual places
in the line.

Team B was running signals with
Don Lindell at quarter, Avard Man

and Glenn Presnell at fullback. Mnt
Lawson and Evard Lee were on the
wings.
That the Bulldogs will give the
Huskers a real battle may be as
sumed without question. That the
Drake victory of 1925 was no fluke,
is one of the things this season, that
Coach Solem is set on proving to
Nebraska and the world in general
The Bulldogs are planning on show
ing that they would have defeateJ
the Cornhuskers on any kind of a
field and in any kind of weather by
trying to defeat Coach Beargs boys
on their home field this season.
Defeated Bat Twice :n Stadium
Only twice have the CornhusKers
been defeated in their own stadium
Syracuse turned the trick in the fall
of 1923, and Illinois copped the first
series of 1924. Since then the Ne
braska eleven has not tasted defeat
on its own field.
Further drill on the aerial game
both offensive and defensive, to
getber with instruction on how to
stop the plays that Drake has been
using, will occupy most of the rest
of this week. The Huskei mentors
are not so concerned as to whether
Drake will put up a stiff competition
that seems already evident, as they
are with the question of whether the
squad will be able to withstand and
turn back the Bulldog attack. Coach
Solem has some dangerous plays up
his sleeve and unless the Huskers are
on their toes every minute the re
suits may not be to their liking.

The common belief that snow
storms in the north are the cause of
the cold snap is fallacious, Mr. Blair
said. The true cause of tho cold was
influenced by some snow in Montana
and northern Wyoming but many
other causes enter in also. Some
snow flurries were reported from tho
northwest part of Nebm-ilta but no
official report has come in to tho
Lincoln office.
Rainfall in Linol.n for-the month
of September has so far amounted
to 5.61 inches. This la almost three

amount for the year U, however,
about 3.94 inches blow the average

The scrimmage of last night was
by far the hottest of the season and
the battle rages more fiercely each

Equipped with Nebraska forma

the varsity a rouh afternoon each

into the Frosh squad daily as if Ne
