To The Daily Nebraskan: You like others will be somewhat surprised, upon receipt of a letter from one so far away on a subject so near to the hearts of thousands of Nebraskans, football. While it has been twenty years since the writer first had the honor of gracing a Cornhusker gridiron with his football presence, not a sin gle season has passed but what he has been keenly interested in the af fairs of the Cornhusker football team. This present season holds out great reward for the Huskers, that is if the boys can only find themselves. While Missouri set off. tlie usual but rather unexpected boom in the Ne braska football camp, there is a great lesson therein without taking any of the glory from the Tiger win, a les son not unlike the one received by one other great Cornhusker machine, 1 (Continued on Page 2) COUNCIL CALLS INVESTIGATION OF HONORARIES Presidents of Societies Will Submit Lists of Duties For Next Meeting DECISION AWAITS REPORTS Further Action Will Not Be Taken Until Information Can Be Obtained First steps toward the investiga tion of the functions of honorary so cieties on the campus were taken by the Student Council in their weekly meeting in the Temple Wednesday afternoon. All presidents of honorary soci eties except departmental societies, will be required to submit lists of duties performed by their organiza tions last year or this year up to the present to the Student Council, the Council decided. Letters notify ing the societies of this request of the Council will be sent to the pres idents of all groups concerned. Whether the functions of the so cieties are sufficient to justify their existence, and whether they have been satisfactorily performed was stated as the object of the Council questionnaire. Power of making recommendations concerning student organizations is vested in the Student Council. Their recommendations are effective if approved by the faculty committee on student organizations. Council Does Not Act The Council refused to take any definite steps either towards abolish ing the societies, modifying them, or permitting them to continue as they have in the past. Members of the Council said that they felt they were not well enough acquainted with the purposes and duties of the organiza tions to consider their future posi tion in the school immediately. E. W. Lantz, faculty advisor of the Council, reported that no ballots for military colonel had to e thrown out this year. The ballots were counted by Colonel Jewett and Professor Lantz, who also counted them a year ago. Professor Lantz said that a year ago they had to throw away nearly thirty ballots, "Everything indicated that the elec tion was the best conducted in recent years," he affirmed. The Council also went on record as complimenting the varsity party committee for their successful hand ling of the first varsity dance.

A Leaf From First Is Prized Possession of Library A leaf from the first book ever printed is one of the prized posses sions of the University of Nebraska library. This Bible was printed in 1455 by Johann Jutenberg, a German, who is accredited with the invention of printing. The leaf which is on display at the library is written in Latin. It is a page from the Chapter of Romans. The page, although nearly four hun dred and seventy-two years old, is in good condition as the day it came off the press. It is printed in Latin and the type is copied from the old style of hand printing as practised in the monastaries. There are forty-five known copies of the Jutenberg Bible in existence today. The most perfect copy of this book is on the shelves of the Yalr University library. It was sold in New York City in February, 1926 for $120,000 to Mrs. Edward Harkness and presented by her to the Ya'e Thirty Ushers Needed For Sousa Band Concert Thirty cadet ushers are needed for the concert of Sousa's band, November 1.

AG YESPER SERVICE HELD Ruth Davis, Ag Y. W. C. A. President Speaks to Group He leadeth me beside the still waters" was the theme of a talk giv en at the Vesper service hela at the College of Agriculture Y W. C. A, by Ruth Davis, '29, Syracuse, pre- ldent. Our lives were compared to the river that runs dry after the rainy season. It runs dry because of the numerous activities Which cause us to negifct our religious training mat ing them suffer later," Miss Davis declared. . The Ag Y. W. C. A. is a branch de partment of the downtown campus organization. Book Printed University library. Another copy of this book is said to have sold in the fall of 1926 to Herr Vollbehr, a German collector, for $300,000. The Gutenberg Bible holds the rec ord of bringing the best price ever paid for a single book. The leaf of the Jutenberg Bible which is owned by the University of Nebraska library is one of & very imperfect copy secured by Mr. Ga briel Wells of New York in 1920. In stead of selling the poor copy of which many leaves were damanged beyond repnir, Mr. Wells conceived the idea of this copy into pages and sold single leaves to individuals and institutions which could not afford to own a complete copy. This has made it possible for a large number of people to inspect this monument of typograph, and to actually study printing as it was practised in the manufacture of the first book.

Museum Staff Makes Animal Reproductions The museum staff at Morrill hall are working on reproducing speci mens of animals to be shown in the cases on the first flood. Miss La vads . Zutter, a fine arts student is now modeling in clay the jaw of the third oldest1 specimen of elephant that ever existed. The scientific name for this animal is palaeomastodon. It was an animal about the size of a small cow, and very much different from the present day elephants. It had two short tusks in the lower jaw, bet did not have the long tusks of the elephants now existing. There is but one fossil specimen of this animal anywhere, and that is in the American Museum. Miss Zutter makes models from pictures and specifications of the original. After the clay model is completed, a negative or mold of plaster paris will be made, and finally a cast of plaster paris.
