STATE UP IN SIX OP STAGE OPENS WEEK IN TEMPLE SKAN NEBRASKA 11 HUMOR m mm DIRECTORY SELLS NGLISH COMEDY SHOWS SLUMP IN HUNDREDS COPIES AS FINALS NEAR NOVEMBER SALES DURING FIRST DAY Saturday's Husker Cyclone Battle Will Name Champions. KAGGIE HOPES BLASTED Missouri Pushes Sooners Down When Passing Game Clicks. By MURLIN SPENCER. Nebraska continued on its steady march (or the Big Six championship with a 6 to 3 victory over Kansas Aggies in the feature game of the week. The Cornhusk era are now tied with Iowa State for first place and the result of this Saturday's game will tell the tale. Missouri beat Oklahoma 7 to 6 in the only other conference game, giving the Tiger its first conference win. In nonconference games, Iowa State lost to Drake 6 to 7 and Kansas won from Washington uni versity, 28 to 0. Nebraska's win over the Aggies was spectacular, the Huskers en tering the contest as the under dog. There was no question as to Nebraska's superiority, rolling up nine first downs to four and hold ing the Wildcats' vaunted power attack to a standstill. A seventy yard run by Lewis Brown in the closing minutes of play gave the Huskers their score after a long march down the field had stopped seven yards from the goal line Missouri Shows Power. Missouri rose lo their full strength in turning back the Sooners. A pass, Stuber to Bittner, over the Sooner goal lina ac counted for the Tiger score. Percy Gill kicked the extra point and Missouri held this load to win her first Big Six game of the year Oklahoma threw the Tiger into a frenzy when she earned a first down on the Missouri 1-yard line, but three trials at the goal re sulted in losing three yards and Schiele wound up in possession of the ball on the last Attempt, Kansas really found herself at last after a long string of defeats when she took Washington 28 to 0. The Jayhawks have gone a long time with a powerful team unable to find itself, and by the looks of things something must have broken Saturday. Page, Schaake, and Carnie Smith were outstanding in the Kansas victory. Drake Down Cyclones. Drake's victory over Iowa State was an upset Drake took a bad trouncing from Missouri last week, and the Cyclones, contendors for the Big Six title were slated to win hands down. Possibly Iowa State is holding everything in re serve or this Saturday at Lincoln. The highly publicized toe of Dick Grefe failed to come thru in the first period after Duesenberg had plunged for the touchdown and his kick was no good. For three games Iowa State has been the underdog and has upset the dope bucket to win. The first time they are slated (Continued on Page 2.)

China's struggle toward self government will be the subject of Dr. Walter H. Judd, graduate of the University of Nebraska, in an all-university convocation in the Temple theater Tuesday at 11 o clock. Dr. Judd has been in charge of a large hospital at Shaowu, China, for the past seven years, and has been given extensive opportunity for observing the recent economic, social and political changes in China. He is acquainted with many of the Chinese political and mili tary leaders, and has several times dealt with various bandit chiefs. Dr. Judd's experiences during the various upheavals China has undergone make an interesting story. During the revolution and civil war of 1926-27 his hospital was six times commandeered by armies of the region. Threats against his life have been numer ous. Recently he was saved from a firing squad only through the timely intervention of a Chinese officer whom he had once be friended. RIFLES MEET TODAY Honorary May Act on Plan To Wear Uniforms to Military Ball. SPOERRY FAVORS KHAKI Pershing Rifles will meet to night to determine whether they will all attend the military ball in uniform, it was announced yester day. This action is being taken in response to Captain Spoerry's sug gestion that all who attend wear uniforms. Officers in charge of the ball are endeavoring to get as many basic cadets to turn out for the occa sion in their uniform as possible. The reasons for such action are two-fold. As given by the captain, the first is to make the event as truly military as possible, since it is sponsored by the R. O. T. C. unit of the university. The second reason is to make it possible for those basic students to attend who cannot afford full-dress attire. In addition they will be able to ob tain their tickets 50 cents cheaper if they appear in uniform. "Last vear there were only a few students who wore the basic uniform and those who did de clared they felt conspicuous," the captain declared. If Pershing Rifle men go on record ai favoring me basic uniform and agree to sup port such attire for the occasion, other cadets will likewise support such action for they will not be afraid of being one of a few in uni form. Announce Orchestra Tomorrow The orchestra which will be the central feature of the major event will be announced Wednesday. One of the six eastern orchestras which the committee on music has been dealing with will be decided upon within the next two days. Tickets were placed on sale last Friday when all cadets appeared on the campus in uniform. The tickets are of three kinds at three different prices. A ticket of blue will be sold to advanced students of military science for 11.50. Red tickets will be sold to basic stu dents appearing in uniform for $2 and civilians will be able to pur chase their green tickets tickets for $2.50. Both the red and green tickets have been reduced this year. The (Continued on Page 2.) Colleges Take Depression Seriously; Princehn Cuts Cost of Senior Prom BY OLIVER DEWOLF The depression is twisting the Princeton's Tiger's tail. News from the Black and Orange school tells of a drastic price reduction in the annual senior promenade which was held last Friday and Saturday nights. The cost of the music was reduced one-third, and the refresh ment costs were clipped 75 percent. The prom is evidently quite an affair. Two orchestras provided music from 10 until 4 Friday night or Saturday morning and from 9 until midnight Saturday evening. The price of admission was $2.00 per couple, and SI for stags. In order to bring about this price re duction, the prom committee in conjunction with the university au thorities, cut the cost of flowers to one-seventh of the 1930 total, and decreased the number of free tickets, besides reducing the cost of music, and refreshments. In view of this the University of Nebraska is evidently not the only school cutting down on expenses. The Military Ball Las a four-bit cut to Its credit just to start the "ball" rolling. However, there is Renaissance Issue Awgwan Released Monday on Campus. DISTRIBUTION CONTINUES Nebraska Comic Will Be on One Stand in Social Science Today.

EXTENSION TO OFFER NEW TEACHING PLAN Community Organizations in State May Study History. EIGHT WILL INSTRUCT Thru the extension division, the university is now offering study center work in history by members of the department staff to com munities in the state, according to a bulletin issued by the extension division recently. Eight instructors in the history department are teaching these courses, which are being offered in the various towns under the aus pices of local elementary and high schools, local colleges, the country superintendent of schools, the American Legion, the Parent Teacher associations, and similar groups. The work is conducted in the same manner as the night exten sion classes, and courses are open to students who desire to receive class credit or to those who desire merely to audit the courses, the bulletin reads.

Many students have expressed the intention of waiting for the orches tra to be announced before buying tickets. Greeks Here Act. The recent move of the Inter fraternity council and the Pan Hellenic council to lower the cost of orchestras, and ballroom accom modations was another successful step in the economy program, and now we have a little agitation about walking dates. The Prince ton dispatch said nothing about this little innovation, that isn't really an innovation, because girls and boys have walked arm in arm through the moonlight for many years before this article even thought of appearing in print. One thing is noticeable, however, despite the success or failure of Nebraska's latest move, the uni versities throughout the country, contrary to public opinion, are cut ting down on unnecessary ex penses, and really taking an inter est in this matter of economy. ...

T MET KLUB CALL Deadline Not Set; Will Be Soon After Holiday Vacation. Four persons have answered Kosmet Klub's call for manu scripts for the annual spring mu sical show. The call was issued late last week. More acceptances are expected shortly by the organ ization. Dick Devereaux, presi dent, indicated yesterday. The first call for the manu scripts which was issued last week officially opened the beginning made by the Klub to obtain a play for the spring show. Altho the definite deadline nas not yet been set, it will be shortly after the Christmas holidays, De vereaux declared. If these are any questions any student would like to ask or if there is anyone who already has work to turn in. they should get in touch with Dever eaux, if the Kosmet rooms are not open when they call. The play, conforming to Kosmet tradition, is to be a musical pro duction of three acts, written with the thought in mind that it will be, preferably, a presentation by an all male cast. "Sob Sister," the second of William McCleery's three consecutive productions, was the only play to deviate from Kos met's tradition of an all . male presentation. No Female Players. There will be female roles in the play this year as in the past, but they will be portrayed by men. It is the desire of the Klub tnat this year's manuscript which is accepted for the spring snow be so composed that it take care of a cast of approximately thirty. Fifty dollars will be awarded the person composing the winning manuscript for the spring presentation. This is the same prize awarded to win ners of former years.

Missionary Speaks Before Members of Religious Groups. REV. M'MILLIN PRESIDES Renewing the situation in China today and suggesting its needs, Dr. Walter Judd, medical mission ary from China who is traveling for the Student Volunteer move ment In the United States at pres ent, spoke before a group of fifty at luncheon at the Grand hotel Monday. Dr. Judd named and discussed five phases of the complex situa tion. He told of the origin and de velopment of the feeling of na tionalism. After speaking of in dustrialism and the system they employ. Dr. Judd told of the work ings of the communist group in China. All groups which are not sin cerely sympathetic with the com munistic movement are beheaded, stated the speaker. However, said Dr. Judd, they feel that in killing the members of four great groups they are only destroying one out of every ten citizens. The groups which the Chinese communists feel are detrimental to their progress and force, are the old officials of the government, the new patriotic administrative officials wbo oppose the communist regime, the capital ists who are those persons in China who saved money to take care of themselves day after to morrow, and the teachers of re ligions, stated Dr. Judd. "At one time a group of college students stated their disapproval of the communist group and were promptly beheaded as soon as their identity could be deter mined," declared the speaker. The climax of Dr. Judd's address was his announcement of the na tional student volunteer conven tion which will take place in Buf falo, N. Y., from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3. Representatrves from many parts of the world will attend the ses sions. Rev. L. W.
