Innocent Says Main Purpose
To Carry Over Team
Confidence.
Tlans for a huge send-off rally
Friday for the football team have
been formulated, according to an
announcement by Bill Devcrcaux,
who is in charge of rallies. The
rally will take place immediately
preceeding the time for departrr-',
and will be led by the Corn Cobs,
Tassels and the band.
Beginning about 6:30 Friday
. afternoon the Corncobs and Tas
sels will make a house to house
rally and then proceed to the
TomniA where the rallv and parade
will form at 6:40. Here they will
be joined by the nana ana univer

be formed to accompany the
team to the station; tneir train

States Purpose.
"The main purpose of this
rally," said Mr. Devereaux, "is to
carry over th confidence ex
pressed by the students at the
last rally. There is a tendency
among students to think the team
is not up to the usual standards,
but they do not take into account
v the fact that last week's game
1 was the first for Nebraska and the
third for the season for Iowa. The
team will greatly appreciate an
expression of confidence by the
student body. I believe the ma
jority of the students have the
utmost confidence in the team
which may be expressed by their
participation in the rally Friday
afternoon. If every student would
attend the rally Friday, the team
would certainly receive much in
spiration in knowing the student
body has the utmost confidence in
them." - -
The train carrying the team will
leave about 7 p. m. and arrive in
Minneapolis about 8:30 Saturday
morning.

Captain Connors, University R.O.T.C.
Instructor, Sees Some Difference in
Battlefield and the Drill Grounds
Captain Connors of the univer
sity R. O. T. C. department, re
cently transferred from the 31st
infantry at Manila, sees quite a
difference between the battlefield
at Shanghai, where he was sta
tioned during the Chineso-Jap af
fair, and the peaceful drill grounds
on the vniversity campus.
In an interview. Captain Connors
related that on Feb. 1 the unit re
reived orders at 8:30 in the morn
ing to be ready to leave for Shang
hai at 8 o'clock that night. There
was a big bustle of preparation as
the Infantry had been stationed in
Manila since 1920 when it had re
turned from Siberia. The men had
to draw woolens from the old stock
as they had only cotton clothing in
their kits.
Goes to Shanghai.
That night, preceded by all the
navy -ships in Manila harbor, the
unit embarked on the U. S. S.
Chaumont and arrived in Shanghai
on Feb. 4. Here they went imme
diately into billets and took over
the sector occupied by the Royal
Scottish Fusiliers, a British outfit.
A few days later the 31 st also took
over the sector occupied by the
Shanghai volunteer corps.
The front line of the Amerioans
and British was U-shaped with the
Japs on their richt and the Chinese
on their left. Thus they had rinp

All Assistant Managing
Editors Requested to

Work on the editorial depart

in earnest, and it is desirable that
all of the assistant managing edi

necessary that all of the staff

"In view of the fact that there

LEADER REFUSES
A SOCIALIST TILT
Holtzendorff Says Challenge
Should Be Directed to
Republicans.
Because he believes that the
democratic party has nothing to
eain bv discussing party principles
with the socialists, Howard Holt
zendorff, chairman of the Young
People's Democratic clubs of Ne
braska, Wednesday refused a chal
lenge to debate issued by Charles
Gray, president of the Student so
cialist club, addressed to the stu
dent republican club. Holtzendoru
suggested in his refusal that Gray
should direct his challenge to the
republican club.
Robert Harmon, president of the
at'.trtent democratic club could not
be reached Wednesday for a state
ment in connection witn me cnai
lenge. The challenge- was directed
to him..
r:mv's nrnnnsal Is similar to the
one issued by Holtzendorff to the
Ktiirtpnt rrnnhlican club which was
accepted by John Gepson, president
of the latter organization, .ar
rangements have already been
completed by these two clubs for a
public debate to be held Oct. 25,
the day preceding the Daily Ne
braskan straw vote on the national
election.
Gray's Challenge.
Gray's letter of challenge ad
dressed to Robert Harmon follows:
"In view of the apparent anxiety
of members of the Democratic club
to meet other political parties in
open debate, the Socialist club
challenges your club to debate pub
licly the fundamental issues of the
campaign, under conditions to be
agreed upon by our two clubs. We
believe that your program is un
sound and challenge you as demo
crats to defend it." Signed, Charles
Edward Gray, president Socialist
club.
Ho'tzendorff's Reply.
The reply to this challenge as
issued ' by Howard Holtzendorff
follows :
"Thanking Mr. Gray for his
challenge, and regretting very
much that we cannot oblige him, I
wish to state that we have no
quarrel with the socialists: our
quarrel lies with the party in
power. Since the socialists are
making no campaign in Nebraska,
since they are not in power at
present, nor have ever been in
power, I fail to see what benefit
could be possibly derived out of
such a proposed debate.
"Your candidate, Norman Thom
as, is a fine man, but admits he
hasn't one chance in a thousand of
being elected. In view of these
facts we decline your offer.
"Your party is on the same foot
ing as our, therefore your quarrel
should be with the republicans, as
they are the ones defending their
record, not the democrats." Signed.
Howard L. Holtzendorff. chairman
Young People's Democratic clubs
of Nebraska.

No American Killed.
Brick and stone block houses
were provided for the neutral
troops to stand watch In and while
not in the direct line of fire the
bricks were all chipped up by stray
machine gun bullets. Captain Con

casualties among the Americans
aitfto they lost a few men from
pneumonia and smallpox. He told
of a close call for one man when
he was buried under a shower of
bricks blown up when a stray shell
fell inside the inclosure.
Captain Connors stated that he
was especially interested in the
Japanese equipment and soldiers.
The equipment was all up-to-date,
and the soldiers were very well
drilled.

Knforcemcnt of the frosh cap
tradition was uppermost in the
minds of a group of sophomores
Wednesday when they constituted
themselves ft "Vigilance commit

fraternity and barb organizations.
The self appointed committee
was active in placing typed ap

points on hc campus, and late
Wednesday night approximately
twenty sophomores had promised
to see that the tradition was en
forced in their respective organiza
tions. Quick Approves.
W. T. "Billy" Quick, R. O. T. C.
band leader, gave his support to
the movement by advising all band
frosh to wear their caps.

"It is not in the spirit of the

said.
Council Statement.
Council President Brownell had
this to say about the "vigilantes:"
"The idea of securing some
method for securing the unani
mous observances of the freshmen
cap tradition is a very good one.
The Innocents society has contin
ued to sponsor the sale of fresh
men caps because it believes the
tradition is worthy of being up
held. But its enforcement methods
have depended on the co-operation
of other campus organizations and
the freshmen themselves. . .
"The society has never used any
physicial methods of enforcement.
The idea of the sophomore vigil
ance comittee savors of this
method.
"Such tactics are not in con
formity with the practice of stu
dent organizations on this campus.
The council would not be able to
countenance any organization op
erating on this principle.
"The interest of the sophomore
in this tradition is commendable.
a stptempnt hv them of their aims
and purposes and a definite pro
gram of enforcement without re
lying on physicial compulsion
would I believe receive the support
and recognition of the Student
council. In any case the vigilance
committee must secure council ap
proval before taking any action."
Beverly Finkle, one of the mem
bers of the committee indicated
Wednesday afternoon that the
committee would seek permission
of the council for its organization,
and would submit a definite pro

COMBINATION OF BARB AND
YELLOW JACKET FACTIONS
Yellow Jackets Nominate Art
Pinkerton for Senior
Class President.
BARBS SELECT JUNIOR
Blue Shirts Name Both Glen
LcDoiyt and Sorenson
Representatives.
BY THE OBSERVER.
To even the most disinterested
observer of the campus political
scene it must be obvious that the
Yellow Jackets had reasons other
than the scarcity of men for filing
no candidate for the Junior class
presidency. Likewise it should not
require any unusual mental gym
nastics to divine that there might
have been ulterior reasons on the
part of the Barbs for filing no
senior candidate.
Since there arc always some,
however, who find the simplicity
of politics a confusing thing let it
here be said that me iciiow
Jackets and Barbs are obviously
working toward a common goal
the election of a Yellow Jacket
senior president and a Barb junior
president, i. e. Arthur Pinkerton,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Omaha, and
Vernon Filley, Lincoln.
Pinkerton vs. LeDioyt.
Pinkerton has an opponent of
formidable timber in Glen LeDioyt,
Farm House, North Platte. Le
Dioyt will have an imposing hand
ful of Ag college votes to wave in
Pinkerton's face when election day
rolls around. And votes, even if
only a handful, are not to be
sneezed at.
The chances of Carlyle Sorenson,
Delta Upsilon, Omaha, are some
what hazardous unless the Blue
Shirts get their vote out in work
manlike fashion. In addition to
running against a Lincoln man,
Sorenson is bucking the combined
Blue Shirt and Barb votes without
so much of a group interest behind
him as LeDioyt has at Ag college.
Women's politics is too scram
bled a thing, from a distant van
tage point upon which to comment.
Something may turn up later. Yet
however funny the vote-getting
methods of the male collegiate ele
ment may be their antics can never
come up to those of the co-ed bal
lot dancers. Ey that we mean that
outside the Temple building they
take all possible steps to secure
the backing for their "favorite
daughter."
Warns Voters.
To men students the word of
warning, "pay no attention io uie
promises of co-ed vote-swappers"
is no more necessary, we believe,
than is the warning to women stu
dents, "don't believe a thing the
College Joe's tell you about the
election."
One thing seems fairly certain
in view of last spring's results. The
Blue Shirts will have to work in
dustriously to win this election,
perhaps they can only win with
mon nrpttv solidly behind
them for the Barb organization is
in better shape than it was last
spring when it worked rather ef
fectively in a Yellow Jacket coali
tion. SOCIETY PLANS TWO

FOUR GIRLS FOR COLONEL

Nicklas Apply.
That the coming fall elections,
which will be held Tuesday, Oct.
18, will be closely contested was
revealed last night when only eight
students signified their intention
of seeking student favor by filing
as candidates for the three posi
tions to be filled at the polls. Four
of these filed as candidates for
honorary colonel, and two filed for
both junior and senior class presi
dencies. The candidates lor the senior
class presidencies, Art Pinkerton
and Glenn LeDioyt, both members
of the Innocents society, represent
the two political factions in their
class. Pinkerton is a senior in the
college of business administration,
a member of the student council
and Kosmet Klub. LeDioyt is presi
dent of the Ag club, and business
manager of the Cornhusker Coun
tryman. Pinkerton is affiliated
with Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra
ternity, while LeDioyt is a member
of Farm House.
The coalition between the Barb
faction and the Yellow-jackets is
evidenced in the filings for junior
class president. Vernon Filley. a
junior in the college of agriculture,
has filed as candidate on the Barb
Ycllowjacket ticket, while Pinker
ton was listed on the ballot as the
Yellow-Jacket-Barb candidate.
The other candidate for junior
clas president, the Blueshirt rep
resentative, is Carlyle Sorenson,
Delta Upsilon, a junior in the col
lege of business administration,
Four senior women students
have applied for the position of
honorary colonel. The winner will
not be announced following the
elections until the time of her pre
sentation at the Military Ball on
Dec. 2.
The candidates' are: Jane Axtell.
Omaha, a member of Alpha Chi
Omega and Mortar Board society;
Jane Youngson, president of Tas
sels and member of Kappa Alpha
Theta: Helen Baldwin, member of
Alpha Phi and Mortar Board so
ciety; and Grace Nicklas. member
of Delta Delta Delta and Tassels.
A year ago this fall ten names
were listed on the ballot. The
Yellowjackets entered no candi
dates in the political race, while
one independent filed for senior
class president, and five women
filed for honorary colonel.
The other difference in the race
this year is that the freshman and
sophomore class presidencies have
been abolished, by action of the
student council last spring. They
were denounced as political sine
cures, and the other two class
presidents were given specific du
ties for their office.
Voting will take place in the
Temple building next Tuesday, Oct.
IS from 9 o'clock in the morning
until 5 o'clock that evening. Mem
bers of the student council will su
