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

white animals to enter their

HARD TIMES AFFECT
YEAR BOOK SECTION
Many Students Not Having
Photos in Cornhusker,
Gammill Says.
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.

October 15th from a purebred cow
which had been bred to a pure

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."'

its color, experiments have shown.

Land on Sixteenth
For Site.
Dormitory space for 386 fresh
man women will be available at
the opening of the fall term next
year if the 1931 legislature passes
favorably upon the request of the
board of regents for new building
appropriations. A grant of
$100,000 was asked for the dormi
tory fund.
The 1929 legislature appropri
ated $200,000 for the dormitory
fund half of which was used to
purchase land on North Sixteenth
street as a building site for the
dormitory. The total cost of the
dormitory when completed, as
planned by the administration, will
be in the neighborhood of $600,000,
Space for 800 women will be pro
vided.
First Structure.
The first structure will be com
posed of a central unit and two
wings at the front of the unit. The
building will be three stories high,
The first floor will consist of par
lors and dining rooms and the up
per floors will be used for study
rooms. Dormitory space will be
provided for freshman women
only, according to Lawrence Pike,
secretary to the chancellor.
Plans for furthering campus de
velopment will receive a boost if
the board of regents requests are
granted by the newly elected legis
lators. An increase of $900,000 is
being asked in the appropriations
or which $435,000 will be used for
capital improvements in univer
sity property.
Other Desired Improvements.
Aside from the money asked for
the women s dormitory, the gov
erning boards is asking for appro
priations for the construction of i
building to take the place of Uni
versity hall, the construction of i
new astronomy building, tbe con
struction of a new domestic sci
ence hall on the agricultural ram
pus', an addition to Morrill hall,
purchase of campus and farm land
and some other improvements at
Curtis, North Platte and Omaha.
The new building to take tbe
place of University hall, the oldest
building on the University of Ne
braska campus, will fee situated
south of Bessey ball on the present
site or the tennis courts. A sum
of $300,000 is being asked for this
purpose.
Building Sites.
The new domestic science hall on
the agricultural college campus
will probably be constructed south
of the student activities building
and the new observatory will prob
ably be on the same site an the
present building. The $125,000
asked for purchasing of campus
and farm lands will be used to
continue with the buying of con
demned property for the extension
of the campus.
A grant of $30,000 is asked by tbe
regents for, an addition to Morrill
hall. If approved, tbe money will
be used to add a tbird story to the
south side to provide more space
for specimens in tbe museum, ac
cording to Pike.
For improvements in Omaha,
Curtis and North Platte. $170,000
is being asked. Of this. $35,000
will be used in Curtis and North
Platte and tbe balance will be used
for improvements in tbe medical
college and nurses' home and en

The point is that tbe wrath of

have some one to cry with.)

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

the goxi name of the university
and of the state of Knnsa than

COUNCIL SETS
NEW AVERAGE
FOR INITIATION
Seventy-Two or Better to
Be Percent Necessary
For Future Greeks.
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.
Plaque Contest.
A report from the committee on
plaques slated that letters are to
be sent out to all fraternities and
to the school of fine arts and col
lege of engineering announcing the
contest tor a design for the new
piaqucs. A $10 prize will be giveu
to the person designing an accept
able insignia for the plaques. The
contest closes Jan. 15. Entries are
to be sent lo the council office,
room 4-B, University hall.
A proposal to limit the pric
