when it welcomed Nebraska stu
dents who made the trip to Iowa
City for the first Iowa-Nebraska
game in eleven years, Saturday.
When the special train pulled
into Iowa City about an hour late
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, a
committee was waiting at the sta

and instrument cases of the band
to the Student Union building.
The Nebraska band marched
through the town to the university
where it was given a room for its
use while there. A man was left
to watch the instruments and bag
gage while the bandsmen were
sightseeing on the campus. In the
evening entertainment was pro
vided with two downtown varsity

Burn Homecoming Structure.
Iowa, it seems, has a tradition
sacred to its campus that the
Homecoming monument this
year a large mechanical structure
built of ears of corn be burned
each year following the final foot
ball game.
The Iowa City police depart
ment, on the other hand, objects
very much to this practice of hav
ing a large bonfire on main street.
The problem is to burn the monu
ment in spite of the constant po
lice guard.
One of the outstanding charac
teristics of the Iowa campus is the
Student Union building and the at
titude of all students toward it. It
is neither the stronghold of the
fraternity and sorority students
nor of the non-Greek students.
Used as Headquarters.
All fraternities and sororities
get their mail there. There is an
iiif urination department, an enor
mous lounging room, sun porches
surrounding three sides, and a
large cafeteria in the basement. A
jazz orchestra at noon and a string
trio at the dinner hour furnished
music for the diners at the cafe
teria. The Student Union building, the
field house and the dormitory were
the outstanding buildings.
The following unsolicited com
ment of a Nebraska coed on the
return trip expresses the feeling
Nebraska carried home from her
first visit in many years from her
sister school of the tall corn coun
try: "Weren't they nice; I Just
can't imagine. . ."

Athletic Director Says It
Would Be Contrary to
Big Six Rules. 0
Possibility of a post season game
between Nebraska freshmen and
Norfolk junior college vanished
Monday when Herbert Gish, direc
tor of athletics refused the pro
posal Decause such a game would
oe contrary to conference rules.
Mr. Gish said that the proposed
game was impossible for several
reasons, principally the ruling of
the Big Six conference that pro
hibits games with non-collegiate
teams.
Permission for the game would
have required special action of the
Nebraska faculty in addition to
special action of the conference
authorities, Gish stated.
In addition to the conference
rule to the contrary, the rule al
lowing the freshmen only two
games each year prevents schedul
ing the Norfolk game, since the
freshmen have had their two
games this year.
The game was proposed for Dec.
9, said Gish, and this would have
dragged the season out to undue
length, since the season will close
Thanksgiving.

New system of football letter

into effect this season, it was an
nounced yesterday by H. D. Gish,
athletic director. "The new system
will be used, however, for other
varsity sports this year.
Considerable opposition devel
oped among members of this year's
team to the ruling when it was an
nounced after the season was halt
over. Under the new system a
man must play 100 minutes in
varsity games to win a major "N"
and 45 minutes to win a minor
"N". The present requirements
which will apply this year are for
45 minutes in two games for an
"N."
Squad Favors Deferent.
Gish talked to members of the
football squad at a meeting before
regular practice Monday evening.
The sentimpnt was almost unani
mous to defer the ruling until the
1931 grid season. This decision
will enable a large number of the
squad to win major letters this
season.
Meantime Gish is busy trying to
round out a football schedule for
Nebiaska next season. The expul
sion of Kansas from the Big Six
conference leaves three open dates
on the Cornhusker schedule for
next year, according to Gish who
has just teturned from a tour
through the east attempting to

Nebraska was against Missouri

In years previous several Greek letter organizations had

within Palladian. The society, o-

Greeks from their organization,

in accomplishing it. Johnson was
a Nebraska man for three years,

It is the oldest student organiza

organized in October, 1871, just a

During the first few years of its
existence, Palladian was the cen
