Dean Asks Students to Take Train
November 20, 1929
To the Students,
The University of Nebraska.
It has come to my attention that a considerablegroup
of students are contemplating going to Manhattan, Kansas,
for the K-Aggie-Nebraska football game cn next Saturday.
In view" of the- fact that the Union Pacific railroad
has offered a very low rate, together with the fact that
automobile travel is always susceptible to extra hazards
and the further fact that the automobile trails into Man
hattan are often impassable, the university authorities be
lieve that every student making this trip should take ad
vantage of the special train.
Your cooperation will bb greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
T. J. Thompson,
Dean of Student Affairs.

K-AGGIE TICKET SALE
More Than 500 Remain to
Be Sold, According to
Athletic Office.
MAY ORDER NEW SUPPLY
An appreciable advance in sale
of tickets fo the K-Aggie-e-braska
gridiron encounter at Man
hattan, Kans. on Saturday was
noted here today, as clear wea
ther continued to be the rule.
More than 250 tickets for the
tilt have been sold, it was an
nounced today from the office of
Jonn K. Selleck, director of stud
ent activities. Approximately five
hundred and fifty tickets still re
main here for sale, it was pointed
out today. An estimate that all of
them would probably be sold was
mado by Mr. Selleck.
In the event that the 800 tickets
originally brought here are sold,
400 more will be reserved at Man
hattan, Mr. Selleck announced.
He attributed the unusual number
of tickets being sold to the inter
est in the game Saturday, which
may decide the outcome of the
present conference season. A win
for Manhattan would clinch the
title for that school, while a Corn

The University Players will pre

the last opportunity Nebraska stu

piece of dramatic presentation.
W. Zolley Lemer, Doris Hosmau
and Paul Miller distinguish them
selves in their respective roles.
Mr. Lerner, who has received past
recognition for his wor'.t in "Em

more proof that he is an actor of
ability. He develops realistically
and convincingly the character of
old John Ferguson, the peasant
farmer who is completely permp

is the final word in regard to the
conduct of man. Only his love
for his son can cause this faith to
waver,
Miss Hosman ss his daughter
