Along with the usual colored
card stunts presented every game,
a new combination is to be ried out
for the first time. Fight-Nebraska-Fight
will be flashed on a colored
background, each word Immedi

a variation from the usual stunts

Colleges Respond to Call
For Disarmament
Conference.
COPIES WORLD MEETING
College delegates from all parts
of Nebraska have responded to the
call of the state-wide student dis
armament conference to be held
in EUen Smith hall Nov. 28 and 29.
A model of the international con
ference to be held in Geneva, Swit
zerland, in February will be set up
and carried out in detail.
The student committee on the
local campus has received invita
tions from other nearby states to
attend similar conferences being
planned in those states. Chancel
lor E. A. Burnett received a letter
yesterday from Philip C. King,
president of Washburn college at
Topeka, Kaa., where a meeting is
being planned, signifying an in
vitation to that conference. .
Mr. King said "I am greatly in
terested in the student conference
on disarmament planned for Dec.
4 and 5, and am very happy to add
my personal word to -the invitation
already sent out in the name of
the student groups of Washburn
college.
Sayt Subject Timely.
"The subject is most timely and
of such national and international
concern that college men and
women can hardly escape the chal
lenge to be intelligent about it.
"Moreover, there is just now a
real interest in world affairs on
the part of the American college
student. Timeliness, natural stu
dent interest, and the assurance
that the program will present all
points of view on the disarmament
question, seem to make it certain
that the conference will be a lively
and stimulating one. Washburn
will do its best to make the stay
of vlsting delegates comfortable
and happy."
Louise Davis and Waldo McNutt
are chairman of the Washburn
conference, which will be similar
to that of Nebraska.

DETRICtTURGEOLL
PICTURES BE TAKEN
Cornhusker Editor Warns No
Moving Up Deadlines
This Year.
CLASS SECTIONS FIRST
"If students want a good Corn
husker, one free of mistakes, they
will have to help us by not causing
delay by failure to have their
pictures taken," Otis ueirtcK,
editor of the annual stated yester
day. "When the staff is forced to
wait for late pictures, all work
must be suspended, discounts are
lost, and hurried, flustered work is
the result.
The staff this year, however, ac
cording to Detrick. intends to
mitigate a large amount of this
hurry by setting only one picture
deaalinc, which will be final.
"If students wait too ling," the
editor warned, '.'they may not even
be able to get their pictures in at
all. There will be absolutely no
extension of the deadline this year,
and If sittings are not arranged
immediately, there will not be
sufficient time for all students who
have not yet had their pictures
taken to do so before the last op
portunity is passed."
- Wait on Class Sections.
The Cornhusker chief of staff
explained that everything must
wait on the junior and senior and
fraternity and sorority sections,
and that rush and hurry from de
lays In these sections makes ac

It is expected Bible will start

that opened the game against Mis

Nebraska must stop Randahl
Hickman, star Iowa back who was
largely responsible for the Husker
deteat last year at Iowa City. An
other speedster for the Iowans is
Captain Sansen, and the Iowa co
horts are basing their claims to
victory on the work of these two
men.
Weights Are Even.
The Cornhuskers will outweigh
the Iowans by one-fourth of a
pound per man, both teams aver
aging 184 pounds.
Hopes were raised high in we
Iowa camp by virtue of the 7 to 0
victory scored at the expense of
George Washington university last
week. Minus their usual number
of Injuries, Iowa will battle the
Huskers with a strong eleven in
attempting to regain some of their
lost prestige in early season
games.
Captain Sansen is expected by
the Iowans to do his share in find
ing the holes in the line, while
Dandahl and Hickman must run
the ends. It was Sansen who last
Saturday smashed the line for 11S
yards. It is predicted that Hawk-
eyes, if tneir running attack tails
against such men as Rhea, Koster,
and Justice, may resort to an
aerial attack.
Two Quarterbacks Out.
The number of Nebraska quar
terbacks, five regulars, has been
cut down to three, due to injuries
and illness. Louis Brown and
Chris Mathis will both be out of
the running for Saturday's tilt,
Mathis will be kept on the side
lines because of an infection in his
neck, and Brown was stricken with
a sudden attack of appendicitis
just before Wednesday's practice.
He may be forced to submit to an
operation and, if so, it may cost
him the rest of the season.
Nebraska's hopes of victory Sat
urday are flying high and they
believe that they will avenge their
defeat by Iowa last year. Like the
Huskers, however, the Iowa camp
is indicative of success. Their
Cobs Meet at Temple
At 7 O'clock Tonight
All Corn Cobs are requested
to meet in front of the Temple

Dick Devereaux, president of the
Innocents, will be toastmaster at
the lunch. The following program
has been arranged for that event:
Chancellor E. A. Burnett will ex

fathers and mothers who have sons
or daughters registered in the uni
versity. They wish to show you the
campus and the places where they
live and work. They want to show
you something about their student
life and introduce you to their
friends. The students of this uni
versity are proud of you and they
want to show you a good time.
Their invitations were sent in ail
sincerity."
A patide from the hotel to the
stadium will take place after the
luncheon is over. Special arrange
ments have been made by John K.
Selleck, student activities chair
man, so that students may ex
change their tickets in the cheer
ing section for seats in the other
parts of the stands. This will
enable whole families to sit to
gether. Members of Mortar Board,
women's senior honorary society,
at a meeting yesterday noon
pledged their support to tie afair
by deciding that each member
should bring her own father and
one other guest, selling three
tickets altogether. . .
Began in 1922.
The custom of an annual Dad's
day with all of the accompanying
celebrations was started by the In
nocents society in 1922. This year
the society issued an invitation to
all fathers and families of univer
sity student to attend the festivi
