Representative Students Given to General Belief
That Students Show Dearth of Ambition in
Activities Participation.
PUBLICATIONS HARDEST
Several Declare Extant State of Campus Politics Is
To Blame for Decline of Support; Student
Criticism Is Also Given Blow.
BY DICK MORAN.
That student interest in the various campus activities is
sadly lacking seems to be the general belief of the student
leaders, according to a consensus of opinion taken yesterday.
The former enthusiasm and willingness to work is all too ap
parently absent, they say.
Statements from representative men and women on the
campus snow Luai auvnica nunuv
come under meir oDservation ao
not attract students as in past
years. The dearth of ambitious
students seems to be most appar
ent around the various student
publication offices.
It is generally admitted that at
the present time publications of
fices and other extra-curricular
institutions are highly desirous of
a dependable staff of freshmen
and sophomore workers. Such
men are always welcome and are
treated with the greatest resoect.
Dick Devereaux, president of
the Innocents society, maue tue
following statement concerning the
problem: "Although I am not very
well acquainted with the situation
around the publications offices,
it is plainly evident that students
are not supporting the many ac-tivttics-m
general as they used to
do
I know of no apparent reason,"
Devereaux went on, "why thiB
should be the case, and I sincerely
hope that the student of the uni
versity will look upon the activi
ties open to them in a new and
encouraging light."
Organizations Function.
Devereaux pointed out that the
major student organizations such
as the- Student Council, Interfra
tenity council, Panhellenic council,
and other similar organizations
have been functioning better than
they ever have in the past He
said that, with these bodies run
ning so smoothly, the students
may think that the governing
groups can run everything on the
campus.
"However, this is not the case,"
Devereaux said. "Student sup
port and willingness to work is
absolutely necessary to the exist
ence of every activity. Without
their help, the activities are not
representative of the students and
would soon die out."
A few students seemed to bc

Students, Professors
Plan Various Events
Thanksgiving Day
By HOWARD AGEE.
Thanksgiving draws near and
students are planning numerous
and different ways of spending the
long looked-for holidays. This will
be the first breathing spell of the
semester, and with all the mid-semesters
over the tension has re
laxed; with the result that thought
has been given to ways and means
of loafing through the four days
of no classes.
Professor E. F. Schramm will
conduct a field trip to Weeping
Water. His Thanksgiving dinner
will be eaten in a tent with wild
turkey as the main dish. Profes
sor Collins says that he will re
main at home with lots of food,
and hopes that he will be able to
return on the following Monday.
Mr. Cuneo will not be able to go
home until the school makes a spe
cial vacation of twenty-one days.
The Argentine is a long way off.
As it Is be will wander over hill
and dale, and stuff himself on
Thursday. Professor Senning will
not leave for Manchuria, because
he knows that the weather will
not be suitable.
One student was stopped in his
progress towards class, and the
question was put to him. And what
do you think? We picked a lemon!
He was going to stay in an J study.
But, oh well, there's one born
every minute according to Ear
num. The next person atopped
handed out this answer, "I think
that I shall get acquainted with all
my teachers." Barnum was wrong!
There must be two born every
minute.
And so on down the line. Every
thing was handed out from apple
sauce to coca-malt. But we had to
grin and take it. A little blue
eyed blond told us that what she
was going to do was none of our
business. And of course that made
us wonder wondering thoughts.
After slaying up uiiiii mld-ulghl
I think I'll spend my vacation
sleeping.

Band Forms 'R;' Heads Are
Bared; Take Memorial
Subscriptions.
As a tribute to the late Knute
Rockne, Notre Dame mentor

direction of Prof. K. M. Arndt,
Notre Dame alumnus. Prof. Arndt,
assistant instructor of economics,

passed out to the crowd by the
ushers and in which the subscrip
tion money was collected.
D. X. Bible, head football men

PRAISES HUSKER CONDUCT
Kansas State Collegian Says
Spirit of Students at
Game Fine.
MANHATTAN, Kas. Conduct
of Nebraska university students
who attended the Nebraska
Kansas State football game last
week-end, was praised by the
Kansas State Collegian, student
newspaper here, which said:
"The Nebraska co-eds and men
made quite a hit with Kansas
State students when they visited
here over the week-end. In spite
of their opportunity to take advan
tage of the situation, they con
ducted themselves very conserva
tively at the varsity."
Of the game-winning touchdown
made by Brown of Nebraska the
Collegian said editorially:
"The boy hero from the northern
city was the point of attention dur
ing the past week-end. Just as in
movie gridiron classics, the lad
jumped from the sick bed, watched
his team going to defeat, and then
in the last quarter saved the day
and, of course, rode from the field
on the shoulders of his team-mates.
But he did an unforgetable thing,
and that thing won a football
game."

M'GAFFIN RETURNS
FROMMINNEAPOLIS
Says Sigma Delta Chi Meet
Most Interesting One
Ever Held.
The most interesting, profitable
and entertaining convention ever
held by Sigma Delta Chi, profes
sional journalistic fraternity, was
the seventeenth annual which
closed in Minneapolis last Wednes
day, according- to William McQaf
fin, Nebraska delegate, ou his ar
rival home early Friday morning.
A national honorary member
ship was conferred on Fremont
Older, editor of the San Francisco
Call-Builetin. for his crusading
jurnalistic work in the Mooney
Billings case. McGaffin was a
member of the honors award com
mittee which recommended Older
to the convention.
McGaffin was also chairman of
the constitution committee and led
an atempt to secure a moratorium
on the 1932 convention so as to
give a breathing spell for chapters
financially hard hit by bad busi
ness times. This failed, however,
upon being put to vote of all the
delegates.
Nebraska received honorable
mention in the race for the F. W.
Beckman Efficiency cup which
was awarded the Iowa State chap
ter. This cup Is awarded for ex

- balanced Cornhusker eleven
a touchdown in the first period,
Othe Huakers scored in each quar
ter of the game except the third
and held the Cyclone running- and
passing attack to small gains in
their own territory.
There were no outstanding start
in the Nebraska victory. It was a
perfectly balanced, well-coached
team that Dana X. Bible sent out
on the fiel to turn back the Iowa'
State invasion. With a line func
tioning every minute, stopping the
Cyclone running attack to a stand
still and opening up huge holes on
the offense, the Husker backs
were given every opportnulty to
show their best and came thru in
great shape. They hit their holes,
backed up the line and broke up
the Cyclone passing attack in a
brilliant display cf offensive and
defensive power.
Run Is High Point.
If one were to mention some of
the high points of the game, Lewis
Brown's 80 yard run for a touch
down would stand out. One might
mention the work of Rhea, Ely.
Koster and Justice on defense and
offense; the work of Petz and Joy
and Durkee at the ends. Paul's
line smashing, Sauer's running,
kicking and backing up the line,
Roby's punting passes and run
ning of the Iowa State ends; tha
pass receiving of Kreizinger and
his blocking. Masterson's catch
of a pass for a touchdown when
surrounded by Cyclone backs and
his kicking of the field goal were
sensational. Koster dropping back
from guard position to kick the
extra point after Brown's touch
down. The low, hard hittiug of
Manley off the Iowa tackles, Bau
er's passing. These were some of
the points of the game that will
long be remembered.
A crowd estimated at 15.000 at
tended the game. The university
was host to some 4,000 Boy Scouts
attending the state roundup here.
Huskers Take Offensive.
Nebraska took the offensive
early in the game and seldom re
linquished it. Iowa State devoted
itself mainly to kicking, the strong
north win1 aiding Bowen in the
first period. Nebraska took the
ball on her 20-yard line after a
Cyclone pass had gone over the
goal line. Sauer hit the line for
