They will in this one respect be able to realize a saving that is necessary in these times. And now comes 0. A. P., who in the Morning Mail states that, he is not satisfied with the price of Military ball ticket and wants a reduction. He claims that a good many stu dents who would like to attend the function, will not be able to find the extra $2.50 in their jeans this year on account of reduced allow- &11C6S But the price has already been set, and the sale has already begun. Those who want to go bad enough to hand over the $2.50 will do so, while the others will have to be content to read the account of the ball in the papers. The Military ball, Interfraternity ball and Junior-Senior "prm are generally termed the three major parties of the year. The two last named will undoubtedly be put on for a price something less than $2.00, in view of the man ner in which the Interfraternity council and Student council have persued the social economy program. For these bodies to do otherwise would be a riduculous inconsistency. But if these other two parties can be put on for a low price, then surely the Military ball an be put on for a similar price. The reasons for a high price of tickets can readily be procured. It is argued that the coliseum can not be satisfactorily decorated at only a small expense, that a good dance band costs considerable money, and that the rest of the frills total up to a neat little sum, even if great lavishness is not displayed. But this year we must realize that the student is not so well supplied with cash, and in order to help him save, things must be cut down in proportion especially those social functions which he could do without but neverthelesss seem to be a part of a well rounded education. If the student cannot afford to pay high prices for his social affairs this year, and if all the frills and deco rations cannot be had for a small expense, then such frills and decorations should be cut down so as to fit the student pocketbook. Expensive, out-of-town orchestras are not needed, and if decorations cannot be had for a reasonable expense, then they should not be had. All the extras that also go to make up the party can be cut down on, nnd this saving should be passed on to the students. This old argument that if extravagant decorations are not put up and an expensive orchestra is not engaged, that the whole anair men oeconie just another dance with nothing to distinguish it as a party, may have some truth in it. But all these disadvantages may be sidetracked ami The. lavishness, which studenls cannot afford 1his year, can easily be done away with. An Unusual Opportunity. At various times during the schol year uni versity students are offered the opportunity of breaking up their monotonous business of edu cation with something of an outstanding na ture, something that is uplifting and entertain ing. Last year and in previous years there were grand operas, famous speakers, world famous musicians. Sunday Rudolph Ganz, famous pianist and conductor, will appear in a concert at the coli seum under the auspices of the Lincoln sym phony orchestra. Mr. anz is a musician of great versitality and one whom critics have praised to the skies. Students will be given the opportunity to hear this concert for the small price of twenty-five cents. Such an opportunity as this rarely presents itself. Students should attend this concert be cause it is really an outstanding event. The Lincoln symphony orchestra is to oe congraiu lated upon securing this famous musician and making thin liberal offer to the students. A Little Reason, Please. Incident to all the pleas for enthusiasm, pep tulks, rally demonstrations, and similar activi ties of a single purpose to arouse dormant Conihuskcr spirit to its height in preparation for the K-Aggie tilt tomorrow, a definition of the word "spirit" as advocated by leaders of the movement would not be untimely. (Jornhuskcr spirit is not defined in terms of rowdyism of destruction, of pillaging, of pil fering Manhattan restaurant of their silver or china ware; Cornhusker spirit is emblematic, as its name denotes, of the spirit of these M-est-ern plaint from which most of the Cornhusker students-have sprung. In view of this fact, students should not become over-zealous in their rallying lest they reflect discredit upon the institution in which this Cornhusker spirit is presumably given nurture.. , A few years ago m one of the excursions to an out-of-state game, rallying reached its height, beyond the limits of reason.

Such actions as these are nothing mo: than the blind following of a mob instinct, and not conducted with malicious intent, but they are neverthc!es irksome to the victims. Enthusiasm we want lots of !t all wc can get in factl It is one of the most effective means of imbuing the team with the idea that they are fighting for a school that is backing them one hundred percent. But with that en thusiasm, a little reason please! Freshmen, Keep Those Caps. Last Saturday the tug-of-war between Ihe halves of the Iowa game was supposed to decide, the fate of the freshman caps. The Frosh won the event by pulling the sophomores thru the stream of water, thus permitting them to- dis card their red caps. The fate of these little caps should not be considered so simple a matter as this. These caps are symbolic of the spirit of the Corn husker. They are significant of Nebraska tra ditions, they arc something to be proud of, and to keep. Freshmen were told this at their ini tiation early in the year. At that time they were instructed as to the meaning of the scarlet and cream cap. Altho it will be admitted that most freshmen are not willing, without considerable persua sion, to wear this headgear, because they feel foolish in it, it must also be conceded that the cap is something to be proud of, and to be kept as a reminder of college days and all that goes with it. A good many freshmen take these caps home with them and preserve them, and this is precisely what it is intended that they should do. So take Ibis advice, freshmen, and hang on to your scarlet and cream caps. Take them home with you and in after years they will give as much satisfaction in the memories that they recall, as sheepskins will do. There doesn't seem to be any slump in the prison business this year. 810 cells filled, says Warden Fenton of Lancaster fame.

EDITOR: In Tuesday morning's Daily Xebraskan, I. O. T. asked whether there was any need for the Military Department making money on the 'Military ball, and likewise asked for an explanation as to what the profits were used for. In reply, the Military officials announced, in the Wednesday "Rag", that cadets in uni form would be admitted to the ball for $2.00; that there would be no downtown solicitation of ticket sales: and totally ignoring I. O. U.'s questions. Why should the Military officials reduce the price for cadets to $2.00, providing they attend in uniform, and still "stick" the rest of th' student body $2.50 in order to wear their "soup and fish"? There are plenty of cadets who will not wear their uniform anywhere except on the drill field, and would not think of wearing it to a formal affair, especially when they have to pay $2.00 to do so. Consequently, the two thou sand possible attendance from that portion of the student body will dwindle to about a hun dred, if that many. Why not reduce the price for everyone to $2.00 per couple, whether they come in uni form,. tuxedo or "tails"? Make the price the same to all because it is quite logical that if the department can allow one couple to go for $2.00, or even two thousand couples at that price, they should be able to let all who care to, go for that price. It is the general opinion on the campus that due to the depression and consequent reduc tion in allowance and income, that the admis sion to the Military ball, and all other func tions of merit, should be reduced as low as possible in order to allow more whw would like to go, to attend the affair. Curtailment has been and is being made all along the line, and this is certainly an excellent opportunity for such a measure. C. A. I'. EPISODES By Oliver DeWolf The Growler By HARRY FOBTfcH rtn in Manhattan. ChaDeroned by the student council, which means Ed Faulkner, the student special is to pull out of Lincoln at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Stu dent migrations are education. They solidify. For once during the semester the student body is a bang because they are united by a common purpose. Beat Kansas Ag gies! Barbs, Greeks, students, Joed and instructors loose their super fluous identity and become Nebras ka men. Some are unworthy of the term. Others aren't. Lady Astors and Lord Chesterfields, along with Princess Eugenie for all I know, sit, or rather recline, with quiet dignity along with a couple of ounces of reserve and play con trary Others forget dlenitv. Rally! Let's cut loose for once. Flout Ne braska spirit, shout Nebraska yells and sing Nebraska songs. Exotic youth. Elixir. Raise h 1. Nebraska men. ' Let There Be "Spirits." TO THE EDITOR: Hey, folks! Did you know that Nebraska and the K-Aggies play a football game Sat urday? Didn't know whether you knew of it or not, probably not; if the spirit of th Ne braska campus is any indication. The amount of spirit that has been manifest this week would spur the team to win a victory if it were for the Inter-collegiate Checker cham pionship or some other great combat but a mere Big Six football contest of this intensity why, there is no need for spirit? Where is the. so-called old Nebraska spirit that is being vaunted to the skies' Even the paper came out the other day with the fact that Student spirit is rising there has been singing in some of the classes. Now. what are we to do; sit back and wait until the game is over, then with three or four weak cheers, mention the fact that it was the spirit that won the game for dear old N. U. Nebraska has a great team this year, and a great coach, and with student support it can win a great game. Where is the old spirit of two years ago, with its rioting, and even stirring spirit that lasted thru two days? What has become of the old shirt tail parades, torch light marches and rallies that the old grads take pleasure in reminding the students about when they begin, "now in my day." And right they have to talk, for there was spirit in those days. Student spirit has an outlet, so it is pro claimed, at 6:45 Saturday morning, when the really loyal t ornhuskers win demonsTrate their spirit. This is a great idea and if it works, success to the Innocents and their ral lies; but what are we to do until then, wait, mainly. If the student spirit on the campus this week can be judged as an indication of the spirit shown when the student special departs Sat urday morning, all those aboard should have a pleasaut and comfortable sleep all the way to Manhattan. And then, arriving in Manhat tan, wait for the game, stifle a yawn and pro ceed to the game in a "pepped up spirit." Yessir, Nebraska spirit this year is far from usual just 'wanted to remind you. that is all. ''SPIRITS" OK NEBRASKA. Tra(rint of four malor eastern railroads met Thursday with mem bers of railroad labor organiza tions to discuss a voluntary 10 per cent reduction in pay. It is to be hoped that the result will be lim ited to discussion. Representative John Garner, Texas, wishes the president good health and happiness, but not suc cess in 1932! Every now and then one reada about buried treasure and the country of France goes in for buried treasure on a large scale. This nation has a vault ninety-six feet underground, carved out of aolid rock, and surrounded by water from an underground river. v it in Imnrptmnble. However. it seems too bad that all this gold must bo burled unaergrouna in stead of in circulation during this crisis. Speaking of difficult questions, Gus Winkler has certainly placed a difficult one before Nebraska authorities. The press throughout the nation has been watching this offer with more than ordinary in terest, and either way the authori ties act, they will be open to criti cism. Our idea is that Winkler must be afraid of something, or he wouldn't have made such an offer in the first place, but the problem of accepting or rejecting it is strictly up to the proper authori ties and we will say no more about it. Louis J. Taber. national master of the National Grange, makes an interesting proposal. He asks that in the interests of agriculture a na tional moratorium on politics be declared. In making this proposal, Mr. Taber pointed to the need" for tax revision, the need for stabiliza tion of prices, unemployment relief and monetary stabilization. Party leaders will probably pay about as much attention to the idea as the nations paid to Russia's proposal, in 1927, that the nations of the world completely disarm. Aristlde Briand, president of the League of Nations council, has sent a note to China and Japan demanding that neutral observers be allowed to investigate condi tions in the Nonni river bridge and Anganchi districts. According to Briand, such information aa will be collected by these observers Is absolutely necessary to a settle- m.nl nt thU rtlfflnilltv. We favor anything that will help settle this matter.

The Saturday morning rally in spite of its early hour is expected to be a real success and it is anticipated that there will be a large turn out, Mitchell said. "Dormant Nebraska spirit must be aroused if we are to send the team to Kansas Aggie soil in a fighting spirit," the rally chairman stated. This is the first time in recent history that the football team has made the trip on the student spe cial. The team is also planning to return from Manhattan on the stu dent train.

This ruling, how ever, does not prevent a student from calling on his own friends and neighbors in me saies arive. "Since this will be a military hull we feel that all students tak ing drill should appear In uni form," captain apoerry aeciareu. "For cadets to appear In other dress detracts from the signifi cance of. the affair and makes it much less colorful. For this oc casion the military uniform is strictly proper, mucn more so tnan u tuxedo or full dress." f'antain Sooerrv indicated that there had been seme complaint that the reduction irom inree aoi iar to two-fiftv was not sufficient. but he pointed out that there were between 1,700 and 1,800 students taking the course who will be ad mit tpH nt the two dollar rate and so that this reduction will make a decided difference in the total re ceipts. . Military authorities hope to make this ball the best of all time. It will be made as fully military as possible and a large crowd Is expected to attend. Six eastern orchestras are being considered for the affair by the music committee but no final nego tiations have been made aa yet. It is thought some prominent record ing orchestra will be obtained lor the inaugural of the formal season.

The importance of a large amount of student support for Ihe team in this partcularly crucial game was expressed by a number of students and members of the coaching staff. Coach Bible and others of the staff declared last year that one of the reasons for the Inspired brand of football which Nebraska played to defent the strong Kansas eleven at Law rence was the unbeatable spirit manifested by the students who accompanied the team on the fps clal train. Mitchell Urge Pep. Art Mitchell, chairman 01' the Innocent's society committee on rallies has requested that all stu-. dents turn out for the early morn ing rally Saturday, whether go ing to Manhattan by train, by auto, or not at all. "Nebraska was one of the best chances to take the title this year that it ever had," said Mitchell, "but the team will have to play heads-up foot ball for sixty minutes of the game. Nothing will help them more than the knowledge that tho student body is really anxious for a victory and the only way that the student body can effectively, show that it wants a victory is to tell the team so with a lot of noise." Dean T. J. Thompson ex pressed the hope that the trip to Manhattan would be an enjoyable one and that the students might also feel that it waa profitable by bringing back a victory. John K. Selleck likewise indicated that he believed that the week end trip would be a memorable one for the students who are a'lle to go. "One of the best examples ot real enthusiastic Cornhusker spir it will be in evidence on the spe cial train to Manhattan," Edwin Faulkner, president of the Student council declared. "The Htudcnts on board will all be pulling for the same thing and we hope the enthusiasm and desire for victory can in some measure be conveyed to the team." The office of the Dean of Stu dent Affairs was busy Thursday checking the eligibility of mem bers of the various groups whose members are to be sent with ex penses paid. Billy Quick, direc tor of the band said that one hun dred tickets had been purchased on the special train for the band. About seventy Corn Cobs plan to make the trip according to Mar vin Schmid. Tassels are sending about fifty members on the train. UNITARIAN CHURCH Arthur L. Weatherly, D. D. Minister The Church Without a Creed Not the Truth But the Search for Truth Sunday.
