A AT ANNUAL BALL Red aid White Holstein Calf Is Produced from University Herd; Said to Be Unusual Occurrance A red and while JJolsteiti liull calf has been produced from th university dairy herd, it was revealed recently by C. W. Nibler, of the dairy department. This departure from the ordi nary black and white Holstein is an intei -esting study in Keiielio. Nibler stated. HoUteiu cattle Mere originally red and white in color, tbe uuiruriur recounted. 1Q1S wasu many generations ago, for even the Holsteins in Holland have been black for many years. None Reached U. -8. None of the red and white ani mals ever reached the United States, however, for the red and white combination In dairy ani mals seemed to indicate decreased milk production. It was through a cross breeding of black cattle with heavy milk producers of an other breed that the modern Hol stein was created. Breeders in Hollanfl discovered that long ago and have never allowed red and white animals to enter their herds. This red and white calf in the JUNIOR C OF C HOLDS LUNCHEON FOR GRID TEAM Junior division of the chamber of commerce entertained the Ne braska football team and coaching staff at a luncheon held in the Annex dining room Tuesday noon.

DEADLINESET NOV. 25 "It Is perfectly evident that hard times are affecting the junior and senior sections of the Cornhusker," commented Kenneth Gammill, edi tor, yesterday. The yearbook editor pointed out that there are only five remaining days for students to get their pic tures taken at Hauck's and Town send's studios. So far, he declared, the number is a great deal smaller than it was last year. it is hard to understand why there should be such a small num ber of student pictures taken for these sections of the book," Gam mill indicated. Rates Are Low. "As compared with other sur rounding schools our photo charge is much lower and yet we have fewer student pictures in propor tion to the total attendance than any other midwest university." "There have been so..ie indica- Hons," the editor added, "that cer tain juniors and seniors have not been notified bv the Cornhusker business staff. The reason for this, he pointed out, was that those par ticular persons had probably been out when the staff members had tried to call them for an appoint ment." "We are sorry that w have not been able to reach some members of the junior and senior class but we want every upperciassman to feel perfectly free to make his own photo arrangements at the studio, declared the editor of the annual, 'With so few days remaining before our contract with the studio expires we realize that it will be rather hard to accommodate every one but we have been assured that the photographers will bend every effort in our favor in order to pro vide for everyone who appears be fore Nov. 25." Deplores Student Poverty. It is unfortunate, in the Corn husker editor's opinion, that the scarcity of funds should affect so many students who are spending their last year or junior year at Nebraska. "At the time," said Gammill, the matter of putting a slight strain on the pocket book in order to get a Cornhusker photo taken may seem to be quite a sacrifice. It may mean the giving up of cer tain pleasures or amusements, but after these particular students have graduated, and the yearbook is the only concrete memory which they can look back upon, the fact that they got their picture for the book will mean a great deal. PIIYS ED SECRETARY TO TALK THURSDAY J. E. Rogers, field secretary of the national physical education service, will speak in the women's gymnasium, room 101, at 7.50 o'clock, Thursday, Nov. 20, on the subject. "Latest Developments in Physics!

Charlotte I'rtrr&on Will Give Recital University convocations com mittee has scheduled Charlotte Pe terson to give a junior recital at an ll o clock convocation in the Temple theater, Dec. 2. rueDrasKa nerd was dropped on October 15th from a purebred cow which had been bred to a pure bred bull. Records show that this is a most unusual occurance. Explained by Genetics. "Such a condition can be ex plained by genetic theories," Nib ler pointed out. "Red is a reces sive color and in the original cross breeding did not show up often in the offspring. In fact, the reces siveness of this color is so pro nounced that the red will show up at only the rarest intervals of time."' Tbe calf is normal in every other way and will breed true to its color, experiments have shown. DORM 86 BE BUILT BY FALL If Legislature Approves Request for $100,000.

Sultan's Wrath Aroused. The point is that tbe wrath of our sultan, Bill Howard in this in stance, is thoroughly aroused. "This is one party you can't crash," he cries with gesticula tions. ( You see, even sultans must have some one to cry with.) And then when things begin to shape toward a bandy guillotining, with every Yankee in tbe role of bead man. the sultan's lithe little dancer Imo D. Wells in person sways toward him and starts a movement for reprieve. After the movement is over and this said movement contains too many de tails to even mention the sultan shudders and gives tbe Yankees a new lease on life.

Rumors that the law college is voting solidly for Audiey Gregory, freshman law student, for Ne braska Sweetheart were somewhat discounted yesterday when k was learned that another randidate was making a serious bid for law support. Marie Herncy, the only other woman in the law college, is try ing to enlist support for her soror ity sister. Evelyn Krotz, according to information received at The Daily Nebraskan office. Marie Herney was the law college candi date last yer but was defeated by Lucille Can-otherB who this year becomes queen of King Kosmet s court. What Forecasters Say. The political forecasters about the campus yesterday were point ing out that the law college can. by voting solidly for one candidate, name Nebraska Sweetheart. Oth ers are inclined to favor the can didates of one of the powerful sororities because of their ability to swing a big fraternity vote. Kappa Alpha Thtrta Is working hard to duplicate Its victory of last year when Lucille Can others copped the honor. Its candidate this year is Marianne Rowe. The Thetas kept their fingers out of the honorary colonel pudding in order to concentrate on tbe Sweet heart election. Betty Harrison is tbe Delta Gamma candidate.

J BY Body Publishes Statement Defending Position in Athletic Muddle. PAPER ASKS FAIR TRIAL In a lengthy statement which lllU-ii up more than two columns of agate type in the University Daily Kansan the University of Kansas athletic board defended its position in regard to its athletic situation. The statement was re leased Sunday morning. The board answered in detail all charges made against Jayhawk football players. The players against whom newspaper charges have been made are Tom Bishop. James Bauson, Ormand Beach and Phil Boirello. Students at the University of Kansas seemed little concerned over the matter except that they insisted Kansas be given a fair trial upon specific charges. Noncommittal, on Guilt. Kditorially the University Daily Kansan is noncommittal on the guilt or innocence of its athletic officials. "Whether Kansas is justified or not," it says, "the officials of the Big Six owe it the right of a fair trial with definite charges and evi dence, a fair judge and jury, the publishing of the facts, and a just punishment it guilt is found, or complete apology and vindication if innocence is the verdict. "Nobody in Kansas wants to de fend it if the other schools are justified. If those schools have made Kansas the goat for their own sins, however, no apology rrom mem can be too elaboiate. Chancellor Discusses. Chancellor K. H. Lindley in an address before the Kansas editors in convention at Lawrence Friday evening gave something of the background in the Big Six ath letic muddle, and expressed his hope that out of difficulty would come a true definition of the term "amateur." "I want you editors to know." he said, "that we here at the uni versity are more concerned about the goxi name of the university and of the state of Knnsa than about any fuwlball learn. iwi.nnnNS ilkim;k J OIK .NEW MEMBERS Jesse Livingston of Weeping Water, a sophomore in the agricul tural college, Jeanette Martin of Millard, a freshman in the agricul tural college, Florence Stevenson of Lincoln, a freshman in the arts and science college, and Norse En ders of Ponca, a sophomore in the agricultural college have been pledged by Pailadian literary society.

EFFECTIVE AFTER JAN. 1 Rule Comes as Result of Discussion to Raise Frat Scholarship. A scholastic average of 72 per cent or better was set last night by the Interfraternity council as tbe future requirement for fraternity initiation. The new rule which is to go into effect for all initiations after Jan. 1, 1930, comes after a prolonged discussion begun in the council last spring as to some method of raising the scholastic standing of fraternity men. At last night's meeting the pro posal stated in a letter from Dean T. J. Thompson that the Interfra ternity council send a representa tive to the National Interfraternity conference which will meet in New York, Nov. 27-29 with a view towards affiliating with the Na tional Undergraduate Interfra ternity council was voted down. Applies to All. The new scholarship requirement for initiation will apply to all can didates for initiation whether freshmen or upperclassmen. The change was aimed especially at preventing tbe initiation of upper classmen who were unable to make their scholastic requirement while freshmen, but were eligible for initiation after acquiring twenty four credit hours regardless of their grades the previous semester. The il percent requirement is to apply to grades for the semester immediately preceeding initiation. At a previous meeting, three proposals as to what the required grade for initiation should be were put before the council. One stipu lated that tne candidate for initia tion should have made an average of at least 7U percent tne semester immediately preceeding his initia tion. The second was the flat 72 percent requirement. The third was a tl percent requirement with the provision that at least four fifths of the hours should be in the seventies. Chapters Discuss. The three proposals were then taken bv the representatives in the council to their respective chapters where the proposals were discussed and the representative instructed as to his chapter's wish. At the meeting last night the representatives, voting in accord ance with their instructions from their respective houses, adopted the straight 72 percent require ment. The scholarship committee of the council, compobed ot Marvin Von Seggern. Neal Gomon, Rich ard Bell, Maurice Akin, and Wil liam Comsiock. were instructed to provide for the operation of the rule. The rule will probably oper ate through the office of the dean of student attains. Dean Commends Work. In a letter read to the meeting last night from Dr. T. J. Thomp son, dean of student affairs, tbe council was commended on its woi k in handling the rushing prob lem this fall. The council this year, said the dean, "is a going concern'' and can be assured of the administration's assistance whenever it is necessary. Dean Thompson recommended that the council send a representa tive to the National Interfraternity conference in New York, Nov. 27. This proposal along with a pro posal that steps be taken toward affiliation with the national organ ization, of which the Nebraska Imerfrateinity council is not now a member, were indefinatelv tabled.
