THREE TICKET PRICES
Committees at work on plans
for the military ball and presenta
tion of the Honorary Colonel Dec.
7, reported rapid progress in their
work Thursday. Three thousand
tickets checked out to salesmen,
with increased interest in the for
mal ball this year, presage a rec
ord attendance, it is thought.
The identity of the honorary
colonel chosen in Tuesday's elec
tion will be kept secret until'the
evening of the ball when as a cli
max to the military program, she
will be presented in a novel and
impressive manner. Ideas submit
ted by university student contes
tants in a prize contest to select
a new and spectacular method of
presentation are being culled by
the committee in charge and the
winner will be announced the first
of the week.
A large number of ideas were
suggested to the military depart
ment this year and it has been dif
ficult for the committee on presen
tation to select the best one from
among the many good ideas, ac
cording to the department.
The number of possible winners
has now been reduced to two and
the person with the best idea will
be informed next week, the com
mittee stated.
Tickets issued to company com
manders last week have now been
subchecked to a large number of
salesmen including all students of
military science. Tickets are es
tablished this year at three differ
ent price levels. The $2 admit
tance price will be for all couples
other than those in which the
cadet wishes to wear his uniform,
in which case the cost will be $1.25.
Spectators may attend the func
tion for 35 cents.
Each salesman who sells $20
worth of admission tickets will be
given a $2 complimentary pass,
and those that turn in at least
$16.00 wi'l be given one of the
lower priced tickets.

Largest Nebraska
Band in History Set
Make Laurence Trip
Showing real Nebraska spirit in
the last practice before the trip to
Kansas Saturday, the Nebraska
R. O. T. C. band made final prep
aration for the annual trip to a Big
Six football game Thursday. The
band, under the direction of W. T,
"Billy" Quick, will number well
over one hundred, the largest num
ber ever taken on a trip away from
home.
Arrangements have been made
for the band to travel on the stu
dent special, which will arrive in
Lawrence Saturday noon. The
band will lead the rally from the
station through the down town dis
trict from where they will go out
to the stadium for the game.
"All eligible members may make
the trip, and indications are that
most of the band, including the big
bass drum, will be at the game,"
declared "Billy" Quick.

according to announcement made
Thursday by Henry Kosman, mem
ber of Innocents society in charge
of tickets for the party. The an

night of Saturday, November 24,
bringing to a close a Homecoming
Day of unusual activity.
Corn Cobs, men s prep organiza
tion, has been placed in charge of
ticket sales for the dance, Kosman
stated. Members of the organiza
tion are instructed to check out
ducats from the Student Activities
office in the Coliseum. Each man
who sells twenty tickets will re

ticket chairman stated that eacb
man selling twenty tickets must
check in his money at the above
office and receive In return the
complimentary ducat rather than
using one of the original block of
tickets for admission. Ticket pricj
is $1.10 a couple.
Bill Usher, chairman of the In
nocents committee in charge of the
party, stated yesterday that indi
cations point to a record attend
ance for Homecoming dances. In
his opinion attendance will reach
new heights because of the popu
larity of the nationally-famous or
chestra that will offer the music.
A number of innovations in the
Coliseum decorating scheme are
being planned for by the commit
tee in charge of arrangements.
Permanent decorations with some
new lighting features will be in

PEOPLE BUY FOOD
FOR EYE APPEAL
LAU TELLS CLASS
"People buy food primarily for
its eye appeal, ever, tho the proof
is in the eating," Mr. h. r. i-au,
Dresident of the Lau Grocery com
pany told the Food Marketing
clas.i at ag college Thursday, Nov
15th.
Mr. Lau spoke to the class in re
lation to their study of problems
in the purchase of canned gooos.
He discussed the problems of the
wholesaler in selecting foods which
will appeal to the housewife. The
whole country donates its most
palatable foods to the grocer's
stock of canned goods and the bet
ter they look, they better they sell,
is Mr. Lau's experience.' Tho peo
ple prefer the home canned
peaches they won't buy them,
when they are canned by that
process because they aren't as nice
looking, he says.
The class tasted samples of
various kinds of canned goods.

Nov. 21, because of a delay in the
printing, Marvin Nuernberger, edi
tor of the magazine, has an
nounced. The publication was to
have gone on sale Monday.
November's issue of the Blue

versity graduate, who is chief en
gineer in the state of California
and also engineer in charge of the
bridge project, Nuernberger stat
ed. A directory of all engineering
students, containing approximately
550 names, will be presented. An
added feature will be a humorous
page portraying characteristics of
various professors, the editor said.
Entire Issue Devoted Theme
Of Football; Man of
Month Featured.
Feminine curiosity of Nebraska
coeds may be partially satisfied
next week, when they discover who
is the man of the month on the
campus in the forthcoming issue of
the Awgwan, which will go on the
stands Monday morning. The pop
ular male is featured with a full
page sketch drawn by Terry Town
send. Built around the present student
fancy, the November issue had
been entirely turned over to the
football theme, by Miss Alice Beek
man, editor of the magazine.
Prominent among the features of
the forthcoming issue is a story
written by Don Wake, titled "They
Gallop Again." While this is the
first story Wake has contributed to
the Awgwan, its serious nature to
gether with an occasional touch of
humor may recall fond memories
in the minds of many loyal stu
dents. Other articles written expressly
for this issue include, "Tale of Two
Pities," written by Burton Marvin;
"The Man Who Spoke," by an un
known who writes under the name
of Meredith George: "Book Re
views." written by Howard Doh
son and Jean Gallant.
According to Miss Beekman the
Gore for this issue contains some
choice bits of gossip and scandal
among Nebraska's social hounds.
And in much the same vein a fea
ture, titled "Innocents and Their
Broads" discloses the private life
for the first time cf members of
the Nebraska senior honorary
group.
In the way of art work, in ad
dition to the full page drawing of
the man of the month, is a full
two page spread of typical Amer
ican spectators seen everv Satur
day afternoon in the Stadium.
Drawn by Bob Pierce with Lines
by Weldon Kees. the feature pre
sents a realistic light on how peo
ple act when the game is in proc
ess. A three color cover portraying
the theme of the book was drawn
by Pierce, managing editor of the
maeazine. Other cartoons include
sketches bv Thorrtrn and E'eas.

which is devoted to the why and
wherefore of the Y. W. C. A. fi

ers. Dr. Pool spoke on "Evolution
and Differentiation of Laboratory
Teaching in the Botanical Sci
ences." Work started by Pmf. C E. Bes
sey at Iowa State college more
than sixty years ago is being hon
ored by a large group of well
known scientists at the two-day
meeting. .Prof. Bessey, for whom
the building housing the botany
department here is named, came
to Nebraska in 1884 and taught
here until his death in 1915.
Dr. Ernst A. Bessey, son of the
university's former instructor, also j
spoke at the morning symposium,
discussing "Teaching of Botany
Sixty-five Years Ago." Dr. C. E.
Bessey introduced the use of the ;
compound microscope in modern
laboratory work.
Various graduates of the uni
versity botany department are

to the amusement of his audience,

have been too petty to notice in

AND CKEAM VICTORY
on itself the hitherto ne er accom
plished burden of stopping Ne
braska's pennant bound Huskers.
Kansas is the champion of the val
ley, daring the Huskers grid prow
ess on their home turf.
For the Huskers, it is the last
journey onto a foreign turf for the
season, and opens a three game se
ries of conference meets that will
end with the Big Six crown either
tucked away safely in the Husk
ers' trophy bag for the fourth con
secutive time, or being proudly
displayed by soma other confer
ence contestant.
Odds favor the Huskers by a
slight margin, tho they give way
in weight and experience to their
southern rivals. Competitive
scores, however, seem to indicate
that Nebraska should come away
with another conference win, its
twenty-first. But the professors of
footballology are quite likely to
disregard competitive scores when
they figure the prowess of two
contenders, and reduce it to a mat
ter of cold figures. In such a case,
the advantage must surely lie with.
Kansas. Their line outweighs the
Nebraskans, their backfield is
composed of veterans. But very
few spots in the line are occupied
by men who weren't in there last
year, when the Huskers triumphed
12 to 0. As has been the case in
every game this year, Nebraska
looks to the center only when vet
erans are mentioned. Frank Meier
is the only starter who was in th
lineup when the whistle sent off
the 1933 tussle.
But that has so often been the
case this year. Every opponent,
(excluding Wyoming) on paper at
least, has had a distinct advan
tage, but the final scores in all but
two cases have been in favor of
Nebraska's Scarlet and Cream.
Young blood has displaced the age
and experience of opponent's foot
ballers. So there will be no mate
rial liability on the Husker's sida
because of lack of weight or expe
rience. Kansas has always had the
notoriety of turning out big men,
and the Huskers will match speed
against weight. In past years this
speed has always come out on top,

OF
Theory to Be Demonstrated
By Graduate Student
Thursday Night.
DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW
Speaking to the recently or
ganized physics club at its regu
lar meeting this evening. Wilbur
W. Hansen, graduate physics ma
jor, will explain and demonstrate
several phenomena of magnetism,
placing special emphasis on the
Barkhausen effect. Bruce Heater,
club president, stated that anyone
who is interested in physics and
has not yet joined the club is in
vited to attend this meeting.
In outlining the Barkhausen phe
nomena. Mr. Hansen explained that
it is obtained by changing the mag
netic field in a bar of iron thus
altering the magnetic pressure in
the iron. This change produces
audible pops in the bar which are
comparable to the popping of corn,
but not quite so loud. These noises
are attributed to the rearrange
ment of the molecules in the iron,
and this movement by groups of
these minute particles is thiught to
be accounted for by the molecular
theory, Mr. Hansen stated.
In another experiment the
speaker will demonstrate that iron
can be magnetized by rotation, and
he will also explain briefly the
magnetic effects resulting from
change in temperature and stress.
He further plans to indicate the in
sight into the understanding of the
atom contributed by the study of
magnetism.
h ollowing Mr. Hansen's talk, an
informal discussion similar to the
one held on the galaxy at the last
meeting of the club, will take
place. according to Heater. In
dividual question's will be answered
and any new ideas on the subject
