600 TO GO ON SPECIAL
Cobs, Tassels, Band, Frosh,
Nubbins Team Will
Make Trip.
Officials of the railroad and
university in charge of tickets for
the Kansas Aggie-Nebraska game
estimate that about 600 students
will be on board the special train
which will carry the Cornhusker
team to Manhattan Saturday for
what football dopesters and en
thusiasts believe may be the deci
sive game for the Big Six confer
ence title.
Approximately 1100 tickets to
the stadium at Manhattan have
been sold from the student activ
ity office and although the sales
of round trip tickets on the spe
cial train have been slow, accord
ing to John K. Selleck, there is
every reason to believe that at
least 600 students will go on the
special train. Approximately the
same number of students made
the trip to Lawrence last year for
a game of somewhat less impor
tance on a rate slightly higher
than the rate of $2.75 for the
Manhattan trip.
"The train tickets are likely to
sell the last minute." said Mr.
Selleck, "since students know
there will be plenty of room on
the train and they are not worried
about getting seats on the fifty
yard line. So far the demand for
train tickets has not kept up in
any proportion with the game
tickets sale but, with the nubbins
and freshman football teams, the
entire band. Corn Cobs, Tassels
and two fraternities and two sor
orities sent by Rudge and Guen
zel company in their "On to Man
hattan" contest making the trip
for nearly 400 students alone,
there is no rcasun to believe that
the special train will not be filled
with one of the largest groups of
footbal lenthusiasts who ever went
after a Big Six title."
Houses Win Trips.
Winners of the Rudge and
Guenzel contest were: Fraterni
tiesAlpha Theta Chi, Sigma Phi
Sigma and Lambda Chi Alpha;
sororities Sigma Kappa, Theta
Phi Alpha and Delta Delta Delta.
Only first and second place win
ners in each class get train
tickets.
Early Saturday morning every
fraternity and sorority house on
the campus will be aroused by
calls made by members of Corn
Cobs and Tassels so that no one
will oversleep and miss the rally
which will be conducted at the
Burlington station from 6:45 a.
m. until the train with students
and football team pulls out at 7 :00
a. m. The football team will have
two special pullman cars on the
special train. Students who are
driving to Manhattan are asked
by Art Mitchell, chairman of the
Innocents rally committee to at
tend the early morning rally be
fore starting on the trip.
Following the exclusive student
special train by a few miles will
be anonther special football train
for citizens of Lincoln and vicin
ity who are not allowed on board
the student special. This train is
being run at the same rate and
from the number of game tickets
nold at the student activities of
fice to alumni of the university
and local citizens, this train will
be well filled .according to Mr.
Selleck.

Besides the two pep organiza
tions and the band who will make
tne Manhattan trip en masse with
part or all expenses paid, a num
ber of campus organizations will
be represented on the special
train. The Student council, which
Is in general charge of the con
duct of all student migrations, is
supervising this trip and will send
as its representatives Edwin
Faulkner, president of the couucll,
and Dorothy Weaver. Members of
the Innocent's society will be
present on the train and will as

and Mrs. Harper, Mr.and Mrs.

BURNETT TELLS
OF PLANS FOR
Details Not Complete for
Operation of Unit to
Be Built Soon.
WOMEN WILL PAY $375
Chancellor Justifies Cost
Per Year; Says Dorm
To Be Attractive.
Many questions relative to the
operation of the new women's dor
mitory at the university 01 .Ne
braska that is to be ready for use
with the opening of the next uni
versity year are still unsettled,
according to Chancellor E. A. Bur
nett, when questioned regarding
this matter today.
The total cost for rooms and
board in the new dormitory will
be in the neighborhood of $375
per year, which in view of all the
opportunities offeree, is not con
sidered excessive by the chancel
lor.
"It has always been our aim to
hold down the cost to students as
much as possible, but we are not
justified in erecting cheap and
temporary buildings in the devel
opment of a permanent campus.
The new dormitory will be fire
proof and modern in every respect
It will contain not only a Kiicnen
and dining room, but its parlors
and its rooms for social purposes
will make it an attractive place,"
he said.
The proposed charge Is based in
part upon the cost of operating
women's dormitories in universi
ties like Iowa, Wisconsin and Min
sota, which have had experience
in such matters.
Especially for Freshmen.
While freshmen students will be
especially invited to live in the
building, no one will be required

Discussing the increasing im

TELLS Of "AWAKENING"
The November issue of the
Awgwan, the Rennaissance num
ber, will go on sale in ail campus
buildings and at the various book
stores Monday morning at 8
o'clock. Students will notice a con
siderable difference in the appear
ance and "feel" of the magazine,
in the opinion of Marvin Robin
son, editor of the Awgwan, by rea
son of the change in quality of
paper, manner of make-up, and
method of cartoon reproductions.
"Although the magazine is the
same size as usual," said Robinson,
"there is much more material in
the new issue. The staff was for
tunate in having more material
than it needed for the issue so that
a selection of the best material
was possible."
One of the particular items of in
terest in the magazine is the photo

Sweetheart elected by the Law
College. Robinson reports that one
of the Awgwan snoopers went to
considerable pains and inconveni

SMOKER LAST ME

Annual College Fun
Fest at Grand.
About two bundled law students,

nature of a fun fest. Several of
the students participated in a

was in charge of the smoker.
A number of musical entertain
ers were included oa tile program.
The newly .organized eleven piece
law school orchestra played sev
eral times during the evening..
for themselves a new lease on a
chance for the title.
Nebraska on the other hand is in
a position to come through their
conference slate with a clean rec
ord and the second championship
since Dana X. Bible took over the
coaching reins here. Wins over the
Aggies and Iowa State will turn
the trick.
Both teams are in good shape
and each coach will be able to
utilize the most of his man power
to the greatest extent. The Aggies
are confident. Nebraska is confi
dent, and the game promises to be
the feature clash of the conference.
Aggies Need Win.
A win over Nebraska will mean
more to Kansas State than any
game they have played this fall.
It means that should they win they
will be given a chance at a tie
for the title the first hold they
have ever had on a Big Six cham
pionship honors. A win will mean
the rise of football in Manhattan
and the second victory over the
Huskers in two years.
Kansas State will end its con
ference games this Saturday. If
they win from - Nebraska and the
Huskers turn around and defeat
Iowa State, then Nebraska and
Kansas State will be in a tie for
the title with the Kansas team
having a win over the Huskers to
add further to their laurels. It's a
big game for the Aggies.
Nebraska has a defeat at the
hands of the Aggies to avenge
from last year. Going into the
game as strong favorites to win,
the Huskers were met by Cronkite,
stellar tackle and end, who almost
single handed pulled his team
through to their first victory over
Nebraska by the score of 10 to 9.
Rhea and Cronkite Meet.
For two men who will trot out
on the field Saturday the game
has an even greater bearing. Rhea
and Cronkite, both tackles, will be
given the opportunity of proving
their right to all conference and
even All America honors.
Looking back into the past, in
the fifteen games played over a
twenty year period, Nebraska has
won thirteen, lost one and one re
sulted in a scoreless tie.
The campaign of 1925 saw the
Aggies rise up and hold the Hus
kers to a deadlock. It was the
first time since football relations
had been started in 1911 that the
Manhattan outfit was able to make
an impression against a Nebraska
eleven. Two years later, however,
the Scarlet hit its stride again and
registered a five touchdown vic
tory. But that was the last time
the Huskeis were able to win as
they pleased.
Bearg Step Wildcats.
In 1928 Coach Bearg's eleven
stopped the Wildcats 8 to 0. Coach
Bible's first year here in 1929 saw
his team chalk up a 10 to 6 tri
umph and last year the Aggies
broke the Jinx for their first win.
Last year's game was a thrilling
one. Wiggins gave the Aggies a
3 to 0 lead during the first half
of the game when he booted a field
goal from the Nebraska 11-yard
line.
Nebraska came back in the third
period to score a touchdown after
a fifty-six yard march down the
field with Marvin Paul going over
for the touchdown. The Husker
lead was short lived as Ray Mc
Millin tossed a pass to Cronkite
who gathered in the ball on his
own 40-yard line and ran sixty
yards to tally. Auker was downed
U for a safety in the final perida to
4Jp0i
oints.
Aggies Have Many Vets.
Kansas State, coached by "Bo"
MeMillin, has a crew of veterans
back. filden Auker Is one of the
big backfield menaces. Ralph Gra
ham, sophomore ace, has been one
of the most consistent ground
gainers for the Wildcats and is
expected to be in shape to play
against the Huskers after a two
weeks layoff because of Injuries.
Cronkite may be shifted tf an rnd
position where his height makes
him a valuable man In a pass
offense. The six foot six and a
half inch lineman is being baliy
hooed for all-America honors and
it will be a fight between he and
Rhea of Nebraska to see if any
man from this section of the coun
try receives that distinction.
In the present season each team
has won five games in six starts.
