Students will gather at the Bur lington depot at 6:45 o'clock Sat urday morning tor a sendoff rally for the football team, according to an announcement made yesterday afternoon by Arthur Mitchell, rally chairman. "The necessity for the unusual hour must not deter students from getting out and showing the team real spirit Saturday morning," Mitchell said. "If Nebraska is to win this game with the strong Aggies team, students must show the team they arc behind it." Corn Cobs will call fraternity and sorority houses in plenty of time for all to get to the depot for the rally. Informal speeches by members of the team and coaching staff will be punctuated by cheers and songs, according to Mitchell. The band will be at the station in preparation for the trip to Man hattan on the students' special. Impromptu Rallies. In addition to the pep gathering planned for early Saturday morn ing, memoers 01 uie rauy comma tee expect numerous impromptu rallies between classes in the latter part of the week. As a suggested means of stimu lating spirit for the football battle Saturday, it has been proposed that freshmen answering the phones in organized houses this week subsitute "Beat the Aggies" for the conventional "Hello." This plan is already being used by some groups. Explaining the plans for the meeting at the station Mitchell urged that all students, even those not planning to make the trip to Manhattan on the special make an effort to attend the rally. "Dormant Nebraska spirit must be aroused, if we are to send the j team to Kansas Aggie soil in a fighting mood," Mitchell declared. "Now is the one time of the year when students should get behind the team, and help carry on the fight." This is the first pep demonstra tion within recent years which has been scheduled at so early an hour, but a fine renponse eis an ticipated in view of the Kansas battle. Campus enthusiasm has indicated a real success. parents become members of this organization which is to tie them closer to their children and the university, they will set their minds upon returning each year to make the day one of great fes tivity. Dr. G. E. Condra, sponsor to the Innocents society, is now drawing up a ritual for each new local or ganization. It is the desire of the Innocents and Dr. Condra to make this a tradition as great in the minds of students' fathers and mothers as May day festivities are to the students, and they will do their utmost to make it such an annual affair as comparable to freshman convocation. The symbol of theso new organi zations which are to bind students, parents, and university closer to gether" is a "hand clasp." Two hundred took the oaths of the fra ternal organizations this year. The oath of allegiance to Delta Alpha Delta and Mu Alpha was adminis tered by Dr. Condra. OFE GRIO SQUAD .SpraKs Today .-.! f- -iff "nutl' .lnun-nl . star. DEAN M. E. HAGGERTY.

Spoerry Urges Basic Students to Attend in Uniform. Urging that all basic men attend the military ball in their R. O. T. C. uniforms, Capt. W. G. Spoerry stated yesterday "that the uniform worn by the cadets is the official United States R. O. T. C. uniform and was appropriate for all dress occasions." Members of the Per shing Rifles have also been re quested to appear in military garb. Tickets priced at two dollars may be obtained by all students in the military department who are planning to come to the ball in uni form. If the student decides to come in civilian clothes after he has purchased the ticket he may get the other ticket by paying 00 cents. It has been suggested that it is not generally understood that the uniforms worn by the military stu dents are formal and are appro priate for any society. Since the event is a military ball all basic and advanced students are asked to be in uniform. ' Price is Two Dollars. The reduction of the price for students in the military depart ment came as a result of student criticism of this year's price of $2.50 which was fifty cents less than last year's price. This reduc tion will allow more than 2,000 students, or about a third of the student body to attend the first formal event of the season for a dollar less than was paid last year.

One of the greatest difficulties, encountered by the Russian gov ernment in the promotion of the five-year plan, lies in the develop ment of efficiency in all of their industrial plants and collective fat ms, according to Dean L. E. Le P.ossignol, in his address to World Forum Wednesday noon. Of the three classes of peasants, stated Dean LeRossignol, the poor est class is favored in securing position with the government. When a man applies for employ ment, he is questioned about his history. If he had been a so-called "rich peasant," he encounters con siderable difficulty in securing work. One of the remarkable charac teristics of the majority of the Russian people that has been re vealed in their support of the five year plan, according to LeRossig nol, is their willingness to sacri fice their own freedom and phy sical well being for a cause in which they have faith. In commenting further on the doctrine of socialism. LeRossignol likened it to a religion: Its gods: Karl Marx and Lenin; its litera ture: the books of Karl Marx; its creed: equal opportunity for all. "But," declared Deau LeRossignol, "Marx's philosophy is fallacious. As Plato so aptly stated it, 'there is no inequality so gross as the equal treatment of unequals.'
