Which is Sometimes Used as Fisher
Although the museum contains
seven or eight golden eagles, it was
only the other day that it acquired

curator of the museum, from the
University studio over K. F. A. B.
Mr. Collins spoke on the topic, "Fif

BALL TICKETS
SELLING WELL
Interfratemity Ball Assured
Of Success by Sales, John
Trout Announces
LIMIT THREE HUNDRED
Only a few tickets for the Inter
fraternity Ball, to be held in the
Scottish Rite Temple February 4, re
main unsold according to a state
ment made yesterday evening by
John Trout, in charge of the ticket
sale.
"The sale has been more than suc
cessful," Trout stated, "and the new
idea of Kosmet Klub's Interfrater
nity Ball to replace the Panhellenic
Ball has been assured success." Frat
ernity representatives who are selling
tickets to the party are requested to
check in all money before 11 o'clock
Sunday morning at the Sigma Nu
fraternity house.
A limit of 300 has been set for the
number of tickets to be sold, and
there are only a few more available,
it was announced. Persons wishing to
attend the formal party should get
their tickets as soon as possible, as
Kosmet Klub does not intend to have
the Scottish Rite Temple overcrowd
ed on the evening of February 4.
Decorations Planned
Under the supervision of the Kos
met Klub an interior decorator is
making plans for a motif of decor
ation wherein all fraternities will be
represented. A striking and expen
sive decorative theme such as has
never been attempted before in the
Scottish Rite Temple is now under
way. All decorations are to be kept
a secret until the evening of the
ball.

the following information. "Stables

Further facts were unavailable to

Two exciting contests of the three
games played marked last night's
round in the interfratemity basket

periods. Sigma Alpha Epsilon held
the Alpha Sigma Phi team with a 14

Delta Tau Delta was comparatively
close for three quarters, but in the
fourth quarter, the Kappa Sigs pull

Variety of Food is Secret to Please
The University Student al Mealtime
By Clifford Smith
Cornhuskers but not corn eaters
may be said of the' students of the
University of Nebraska, according
to information received from the
Temple Cafeteria. Very few of the
students and faculty members eating
at the Temple choose cornbread, but
bran and graham muffins are in
great demand.
The bread supply for one day
sounds like an inventory of a bakery.
In one day the cafeteria uses 5
loaves of rye bread, 30 pullman
loaves of white bread, 35 pullman
loaves of graham bread, 10 pans of
parkerhouBe rolls, and 150 to 200
muffins.
The demand for meat is rather
slight, a 25-pound beef rib being
sufficient for one day's supply. The
menu always includes a high priced
meat, a cheaper priced meat, and
some meat substitute, thus enabling
everyone to satisfy their desire for
meat. When sausages are von the
menu, 100 servings are prepared.
Chicken pie, which is the most pop
ular of all the meat disLj, is cocked
in quantities enough for 250 to 309
servings.
Many Potatoes Consumed

are used each day, ten bags being

PROBLEM OF
HONORARIES
IS DEFERRED
Definite Action on Abolition of
Organizations Put Off by
Faculty Committee
VALKYRIE IN QUESTION
Discussion Went to Faculty
Committee After Vote Taken
By Student Council
Definite action was deferred on
the abolition of student honorary so
cieties, at the meeting of the Faculty
Committee on Student Organizations
late yesterday. Among the reasons
for the deferred action, was the con
sideration as to whether the Valkyrie
organization had enough activities to
merit its existence, or whether it
should be included with the rest of
the societies in question.
The meeting was called as the re
sult of a Student Council meeting
last week, when it was voted to abol
ish Viking, Silver Serpent, Xi Delta,
Iron Sphinx, Mystic Fish and Green
Goblin honoraries, because of their
inactivity and lack of purpose. The
faculty meeting was to have given
final judgment.
New Report
Valkyrie is a social organization
of senior women. They also give a
scholarship to the girl in the senior
class who has the highest grades.

STEPANEK TELLS OF
RDSSIAN CONDITIONS
Speaker at Ag College World Forum
Gives Impressions Gained
On Visit There
Prof. Orin Stepanek spoke on,
"Soviet Russia" at the Ag College
World Forum meeting Thursday
noon. About fifty people attended.
Mr. Stepanek spoke for the most
part on his impressions of Russia
which he acquired while visiting
there. There is little distinction be
tween Russian men and Russian wo
men in labor problems, according to
Mr. Stepanek. The women are re
qired to do as much and the same
type of work as the men. The Rus
sians are a very sturdy people, al
though they might appear -rather
crude to us, he observed.
One of the things which especially
impressed Mr. Stepanek in Russia
was the law enforcement. The offi
cials there are always very active.
Their prosecutions are very prompt.
These people take a very keen in
terest in art work. Thousands of
people visit their museums each day.
