Rally
And Rally!
OMINTG north for their first bout with a Corn
huskerfootball team, the Texas squad of Long
herns are going to get their first glimpse of Ne
braska students and Nebraska athletes. They have
heard much of Cornhuskerland, they say, and they
trill be a determined and a critical bunch of Tex
fcns. The attitude in the Lone Star state, in fact, Is
Such as to produce a dangerous combination of
Qualities in an invading football team. The Texas
Squad, according to an Associated Press dispatch
from Austin, has been drilling with a quiet, busi-pess-like
purpose dominating its work. That pur
pose is to give of the very best they have always
the most dangerous quality in a foe. Enthusiasm
may crack, and arrogance is on the most infirm of
foundations, but a steady firmness of purpose such
fis undoubtedly pervades the Texas spirit is a con
stant source of danger.
There are, in short, plenty of indications that
Saturday's opening grid contest will be a thing of
thrills aplenty, a game that will require all of the
pebulous, but powerful, spirit that Cornhusker sup
porters can muster.
Spirit is a nebulous thing; it is impossible to
determine just where and how its forcefulness op
erates, but there are means by which its presence
Can be more or less accurately gauged, and one of
those measuring sticks is to be found at pre-game
tallies. There, if "spirit" is truly operative, it is im
possible to mistake it
Numbers, enthusiasm, the very atmosphere of
Spirited rallies all of these must enter into the
really successful "pep" meeting. And we have the
vorda of coaches and players that those Introduc
tory assurances of active student support actually
do bolster team morale.
All this, then, leads to one compelling conclu
sion rallies, to be successful, require the active
participation of every student fan.
At the rally Friday night, when football team
find student body meet each other en masse for the
first time, each will form an opinion of the other.
and if those opinions are good as they will be 11
students do their part a Nebraska team will meet
Texas opponents Saturday with a firmness of pur
pose equal to, that of the invaders.
Go out for the rally, you Cornhuskers.!
End of the
Ticket Drive.
gATURDAY, day of the first football game, is
aiso me aay wnen uie xasseis onng iu uu
their athletic ticket sale campaign. For a week the
girl pepster have driven themselves in an intensive
effort to accomplish their objectives without mak
ing the sale drag interminably, and by Saturday
they hope to have succeeded, for then the week's
campaign will close.
Last year, with individual salesmen temporar
ily joined into a semblance of organization, the
drive dragged itself to a close only after almost
three weeks of selling. This year, in an attempt to
sales responsibility was put into the hands of a
single, unified organization, the Tassels, with the
definite intention of making the drive concen
trated and short.
So far Tassels have more than done their
share. They have maintained enthusiasm at a high
pitch, and the girls have worked hard. They are, in
short, fully intending to stick to the original plan
of preventing the sales campaign from dragging
at any great length.
But and this is the crux of the matter as it
stands on Friday morning the Tasels cannot
realize their objective alone. The drive cannot be
stopped short if lagging students intending to pur
chase tickets "sometime" continue to delay their
buying. Students must contribute to the drive their
share, for the Tassels alone cannot do all the work.
The campaign is in its critical tage, and it is
only the students intentions, eventually, to buy their
tickets, who can resolve the crisis by making their
intentions know thru the actual purchase of tickets
now.
If the drive really is to close successfully on
Saturday, student tickets must be. bought now
today.
ieir Prices
For Pictures.
JX a sincere effort to put the price of yearbook
pictures witnin tne reacn or every siuaenc, Lorn-
husker executives have opened work on photos this
week with lowered rates and new arrangements.
For years the student complaint has been that
prices for yearbook pictures were exorbitant, and
it is heartening to see this year's Cornhusker staff
making a determined effort to operate under a
lower and fairer rate for photographs. Even more
is the new policy appreciated when it is remem
bered that engraving prices are rising under the
provisions of NRA governmental codes.
In the past it has been argued that picture prices
for a book that represents college years in the
mind of purchasers have been too high to make the
book fulfill its purpose to the best advantage. The
yearbook, for a graduate, is the repository of
pleasant memories, and it is unfair if those
memories must be incomplete because he or some
of his associates, as students, could not afford to
have their pictures taken.
With high prices for pictures there were many
such students, but the new policy should noticeably
decrease their number, tind the Nebraskan hopes
every senior can see his way to having his picture
in the book that is, after alL the book of college
memories.

BEHIND THE STORY.
Fome times the story is not as
good as the storv behind the story.
Jn the Omaha World-Herald one
day last summer appeared a story
about a farmer who had found a
meteorite in his field. The meteo
rite was still warm, according to
the story, and the farmer sold it
for SI to a man who happened to
be on his place that day. The man
feas from St. Paul. Minn.
A day or two later I met the
ipan he was a dairy famer and
ft-sked him about his new venture
In the meteorite business. He
grinned, and told me the story be
hind the story.
The rr" from St Paul was a
machinery salesman, the dairy
man didn't want to buy any ma
chinery, wanted a lot more to get
rid of the salesman. Walking thru

his alfalfa field the day before,
he had come upon a big clinker
from the dairy boiler. He picked it
up and carried it along to the
milkhouse and laid it In the win
dow he did it purely to get the
big cinder out of the field so it
would not break the sickle at mow
ing time.
Working inthe milkhouse while
the salesman cried his wares, the
dairyman spied the clinker in the
window and an idea popped Into
his head. "See that," he said,
pointing toward the window," I
found that out in the field yester
day. It was warm. I think it must
have fallen out of the sky."
The salesman was interested,
picked the thing up, looked it over,
asked the dairyman if he would
sell it. At first the farmer was re
luctant, but when the salesman
offered him Jl, he accepted. The
salesman went to town with his
newly acquired meteorite and gave
the story to the newspaper.
Promptly the World-Herald tele
phoned the farmer to learn if the
story was true. They asked him
If he found the meteorite far
enough from a high tension wire
that it could not have been heated
by that The farmer was sure that
he had found it a full half-mile
from a high-tension wire. He an
swered their questions, but offered
no voluntary information.
He had got rid of the salesman;
that was what he wanted. The
salesman had got rid of SI for a
clinker out of the dairy boiler.
And the newspaper had got a
story about a heavenly body fall
ing in a farmer's field.
MARYLAND BOUND.
Today. Marion Mecham, Ag col
lege senior last year, is on the
grounds at Chicago's Century of
Progress or else be has boarded
the train on to Colleee Park.
Maryland.
A former maior in dalrv manu
facturing here at Nebraska,
Mecham has been appointed to an
assistantship at the Ag college at
Maryland. He will assist in dairy
manufacturing classes, carry a
few hours of college work, and in
due time will set to work on some
original research problem in the
manufacturing field. And if the
reports that come back from
most of our students who go off
on graduate scholarships and the
like hold true, he will soon be as
busy as undergraduate students
like to think they are.
While in college Marion Mecbam
haunted the laboratories in the
dairy building. He did all sorts of
odd jobs for the department offi
cials, fed rats, calibrated glass
ware. Last summer in a creamery
at Omaha he had some real and
vivid experience in creamery op
eration. He was the ice cream
maker for the firm, turned out
hundreds and hundreds of gallons
o fthat product during the sum
mer. The appointment to assistant
ship at Maryland's Ag college
came to him as something of a
surprise. But doubtless the men
tell considerable about how it
in the dairy department could tell
considerable about how it hap
pened.
