One student, in a letter which appears in the "Other Opinions" column today testifies that he himself "stuffed" the ballot sev eral times Just to see if it could be done and that he knows of several others doing: the same thing. We have also talked with one stu dent who states that he saw twelve ballots for one office in the posses sion of another student the day of election. This is the sort of thing that was common in previous elections but we had hoped that it had been stop ped this fall. We still maintain, however, that the election was the most honest in years although it appears a little less honest now than at first. The sug gestions made at the end of the letter signed "H. R." are good ones. Every student who is at all concerned bdout. this matter (and all students should be) should read that letter carefully. As usual, all officers were elected by a minority. Strange as it may seem this minority is smaller in col lege elections than in national elec tions. Approximately 50 rer cent of the citizens of the United States vote .for the President About 25 of SO per cent of the students entitled to vote Tuesday showed up at the polls. This is certainly a fine start toward being a true American citizen. Perhaps the reason that so few vote at University elections is that the offices don't amount to anything. After the candidates are elected, they don't have anything unless it is chance to get their picture in the Cornhusker. Perhaps those elect ed to the Student Council will at tend a meeting or two, but as for the class presidents, if there is anything more useless on the campus at the present time, we don't know what it is. Then too, the elections have been so crooked in the past that many stu dents are disgusted with them, and justly too. We wonder how many stu dents would vote if there were really something to vote for and if they knew for sure that the election would be on the square. WTith the Missouri game but a few days off, the importance of this game is beginning to impress itself on the students and the University in gen eral. In previous years the earlier games have not been considered so important but this contest Saturday promises to be not only the closest and hardest fought game of the sea son but the most important of the entire schedule. It is a recognized fact that the Missouri Valley championship is what Coach Bearg is gunning for this year and a defeat over Missouri would do much to clear the path to this title. This game is fast becoming recog nized as the "Notre Dame game of 1926." so that now no one goes but the freshmen and they Just go to get out of study table. Every one goes in cars and in the end it is no more of a rally than the 12 o'clock rush at Twelfth and R streets. There is plenty of chance to show spirit without these silly Thursday night affairs. With the singing in classes, the bonfire rally Friday night and the game Saturdny, every stu dent should have ample opportunity to show his devotion to the team. Saturday will be the day to exer cise the lungs. Not only will it be the day on which we meet Missouri, probably the toughest gridiron foe on the schedule, but it will also be the day on which the Nebraska Dad's will be entertained. All of this spirit is great stuff for Dad. In fact, that is one of the rea sons why he likes to come down every ye&r. The songs and the yells are what makes college different from every other place. Although he likes to come down and see John and Mary and see how they're getting along, don't think that he doesn't get his biggest thrill of the day when he hears "U-U-UNI" or "Yeah Team" roll across the field or when he sees everybody stand up and sing the "Cornhusker." Yes, it will be a great Jay for Dad, , and the louder you yell and the loud er you sing, the better he'll like it. All of which doesn't solve the mys tery of the masked stranger who re minds us strangely of the dog that strayed into Red Long's book store about two years ago.

Other Opinions Not So Honeit To the Editor: A great deal of credit is due Mr. Buck for his sincere effort to insure an honest Etudent election Tuesday. Unfortunately, however, good inten tions do not necessarily bring good results. While the election may not have been as fraudulent as the one last spring it was apparent to anyone who spent much time around the polls that it was far from being an honest election. To see if the thing could be done the writer personally voted twice for all the candidates that he was eligible to vote for and for some that he shouldn't have voted for and cast a half-dozen or so ballots for one of fice. Some of my friends voted as many times, I know. This letter is written not because I think any of the offices are so im portant that it makes much differ ence whether they are won in one true democracy displayed in the school which stands for that very thing? A consensus of opinion from the students would certainly show that these stunts are wanted by the majority. The stunts afford a rest for the spectators' nerves, offering some thing different. They display the spirit and good sportsmanship of the school. Other universities in the Valley have pop organizations, and they give stunts at their football games. Should Nebraska fall behind in displaying its spirit of unity and sup port of the team? That is for the student body to decide. Voice your opinion and help save the Corn Cobs. H. G. B. A Worthwhile Tradition To the Editor: It seems to me that one of Ne braska's most worthwhile traditions will come next Saturday, October 9, when Nebraska Dads will be enter tained on the campus and at the Mis souri football game. It should be the most inspiring, and the most thought of by Nebraska students. To accompany his son or daughter around the campus inspecting the buildings and classrooms where his children attend their classes; to at tend a luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce where he mingles with other Darts, trip Governor and oflfi- way or another, but because somanyjciag of the university. to witness the members ot thefetudent Council '.ntpsf n. . t1. spns. vh- were blatantly telling everyone thatjelbows fa thflt t nW Btadiunii Yes, it really was an Honest eiec-' . ,Bt . ... ftfW ..;.-. tion."

Hands Up Again To the Editor: I notice that you had as a heading for an editorial in Tuesday's paper, "Hands Up!" This heading may well be used for another article. Many students have found that the charge for the 'Grid Caps' is $1.50. Anyone j who has seen these caps has formed , an opinion as to their worth, but who ! considered these caps to be worth j near the price asked for them? great day in the year's curriculum. A take an even higher plane here at Nebraska. Nebraska students can put it there, is they only will. W. J. Two Years Ago Victor Hackler from Omaha was appointed editor of the military sec tion of the Cornhusker. Mr. Hackler is affiliated with Phi Kappa Psi frat ernity and had worked on The Daily Nebraskan and on the Omaha Bee. The Reverend Paul C. Johnson of the Westminister Presbyterian church gave an address, "Audacity of Faith" at Y. W. C. A. Vespers. "There is within us all," asserted Rev. Johnson, "a hero and a coward instinct." John D. Westermann of Lincoln was chosen candidate for the Rhodes scholarship award to Oxford Univer sity from the state of Nebraska. Professor Manne Sugbahn of the University of Upsala, Sweden, visited the" University to address technical societies and conduct conferences with advanced students in physics. Where la The Pep Squad?

MYSTERY OF ROBED FIGURE IS SOLVED Stranger on Campui Reveals Rea sons for Hi Conduct When He Unmasks The masked man of mystery whose walks about the campus between classes the past three days, clothed in a long black cape and hood, with a black mask, has unveiled himself, and together with a member of the staff has solved the problem of the week, by stating his reasons for act ing in such an odd and unusutJ manner. Yesterday he strolled around three times, and each time was beseiged by inquisitives to reveal his identity. He was firm, however, Und not until late yesterday did he as day did he assume his ordinary and sume his ordinary and natural figure. Circumstances which had brought on the incident, were relieved, and he found it unneces sary to continue his masquerade. The masked man is really a fresh man in the University. Sunday he was asked by a solicitor to subscribe for the Cornhusker. He did not have the money at that time and was so disappointed and chagrined that he found himself unable to meet 'he eyes of his fellow-students on the campus, without a tag marking him as a Cornhusker subscriber. When he found it impossible to secure a tag of recognition without the re quired amount, he masked himself and walked on the campus unknown and unrecognized. Yesterday, though, after he had paraded for the third time, he re for him a 1927 Cornhusker. He im mediately subscribed for the book, and now walks unafraid among his fellows, a satisfied and happy Corn husker subscriber. And the mystery is solved. At Washburn College, a number of student council. Any one violating traffic ru e. have been made by the these rules will be depnved of th. diSlina" y committee of the men', use of their car. on the campus. But in the desire to win the game stands and from the field, but. is it and the Missouri Valley champion ship the University must not lose sight of the fact that the Missouri team and rooters are the guests of the University. Our courtesy and good feelings toward the Tigers must be evident at all times and our wel come sincere. We suggest that the Nebraska students learn some Mis souri song or yell at the rally Friday night so that when the Missouri team comes on the field Saturday we can give them a welcome that will sur prise and please them. This matter of spirit before and at the games always becomes important at this time of the season. The "Other Opinions" column is being flooded with letters about the elimination of stunts between halve. It is doubtful whether the athletic board will listen to these student protests but the stu dents are at least voicing their opin ions and showing that they have the courage to stand behind their con victions. There is one thing that is being done (we are told by the Corn Cobs) that might just as well be eliminated. Three years ago someone started an impromptu rally before one of the big games, went around to all frat ernity nd sorority houses and bad a real live rally. It was entirely im promptu, everybody walked, every body cheered, and it was a great suc- CC-3S, Ever since then someone has been trying to do it again, although the Uoa never has been successful since ' at rri'.t three years ago. It has got necessary that the students pay $1,250.00 in order to form tfSs "N" at five games? This is approximately what the caps will cost the students was organized. I hardly understand why a school of thi3 size can not ad vantageously retain, a pep squad, which is so essential at every game. The band has its part in entertain- STANFORD SUGGESTS BURBANK FOUNDATION Stanford University proposes, if sufficient endowment is raised, to organize the Luther Burbank Foun dation to continue the work of the eminent experimenter on his proper ties at Sebastopol and Santa Rosa. To do this work on the basis laid by Mr. Burbank approximately a million dollars will be required. Mrs. Bur bank has already expressed her in tention of contributing to the Foun dation in. her late husband's memory, by turning over the Sebastopol farm at a price which will in effect consti tute a gift of $50,000 to the Foundation.

Iment but it should not have to carry Student Spirit comes high this year. Between eight hundred and one thousand students have been told to buy these caps. If the caps are made in such large quantities, it certainly does not cost near ?1.50 each to man ufacture them. Is anyone receiving a graft at the expense of the much praised Nebraska 'Student Spirit'? The Student Council should take some action in this matter. If there is a graft, who receives it? If not, should the students be required to pay $1.60 each for the privilege of wearing these caps to five games. And if a student fails to do this, should he be required to give up the seat for which he may have stood in line several hours to obtain, and be given a eat at the ends of the stands, the poorest seats in the stadium? We all believe in Nebraska Spirit, but if the students are being 'soaked' they a mvw.mramm should protest, and the most effective 1 means of protesting is through the columns of the Nebraskan, Respectfully. H. L. both the duties of the band and pep squad. Neither do I think it pos sible for part of the student body to put on a stunt without several rehearsals, as some optimists have suggested. We are judged to a large extent by visitors of football games and' it is our duty to our alma mater to see that it is not unjustly criticized. So why not give the "Corn Cobs" their share of holding up the honor of Nebraska? B. F. C. Philosophers from all over the world gathered at Harvard Univer sity recently to discuss a variety of subjects ranging from Newtonian time to the Socratic and Platonic ele ments. To the Editor: The controversy over the "Corn cob stunt at the football games has, since the decision against it, caused a great deal of comment in the school. The prohibition of the stunt for the Drake game was made, probably without the approval of the student body. s.Is that a sign of For That Empty HOTEL D'HAMBURGER Buy 'cm by the sack Shot Gun Service B-1512 114 12 St. isspgstsnssEsa FAIRWAY 10 Scotch Qrain FLORSHEIMS There's real Scotch thrift in the purchase of a pair of Florsheims in the durable Scotch grain leather.
