Another group who were dressed in the fashion of by-gone days were the Pi Beta Phi's.' who presented "Now and Then," a bathing beautie contest of 1890, followed by present day beauties. Music was furnished by the Pi Phi trio. One of the most original skits was "Pre-College Days" given by the Alpha Phis. The "country girl and boy" sang and danced, fol lowed by a blues solo, two trio se lections and a chorus dance. This was the only little kid skit given, and the red and white gingham costumes went appropriately with the little red school house.

Fear that infantile paralysis may have gained a foothold on the campus was lessened perceptibly Friday as Dr. R. A. Lyman, dean of pharmacy college, stated that Miss Beverly Weaver, arts and sci encs freshman, is recovering. Miss Weaver, stricken with the disease early last week, was taken to the Student Health clinic for treatment. According to Dr. Ly man, she has manifested no sign of paralysis and should soon reach normal health. No additional cases have teen reported, and it would seem that the danger of an epi demic is past. "However, one case is one too many." said Dr. Lyman, "and the danger can be cleared up none too quickly. Anyone experiencing the slightest physical discomfort is asked to report at the Student Health department In pharmacy college immediately."

Dr. Reinhardt has writ ten an article called "The Moun tain Ballad." He is associate pro fessor of sociology at the univer sity. Miss Langdon of the fine arts department is the author of the poem, "Cloak for the Night." Published on the university campus, this little magazine seeks to place in print the writings of Nebraska people. Its contributions come from many other states and even toreign countries, but Dr. L. C. Wimberly, professor of English at the university and editor of the Schooner, seeks Nebraska tal ent. For each issue he he and his associate editors read 300 or 400 writings to find suitable material for the pages of the magazine. About one from every twenty is picked, says Dr. Wimberly. - -. WJifi this fall issue, last one for the yeiu EKe Prairie ehoorWr completes the eighth year of its existence as an outstanding "little magazine."

II One of Committee of Seven To Study Legislation Affecting People. RIGHTS OF CITIZENS Tiger Torture Theme of Homecoming Decorations Which Greeted Nebraska Grads Returning for Annual Reunion BRUCE NICOLL SPEAKS TO BY SARAH LOUISE MEYER. Tiger torture, Greek-Cornhusker style, and ranging in degree of horror from whipping to guillotin ing, was the theme of many of the colorful homecoming decorations with which organized houses on the campus for the first time 'n three yearn greeted grads return ing to their old haur.ta for the Nebraska-Missouri game and annual reunion festivities.

Clark, professor of economics at the university, has been named by the American Bar Association as one of a committee of seven to study recent "federal legislation and policies as affect ing the rights and liberties of American citizens." Dr. Clark ex pressed his appreciation of the ap- ipuintment and of the work ahead of the committee.

This now famous painting was added to the Hall collection last spring by the department of fine arts, after it had been shown in the spring ex hibit. After its purchase the Chi cago fair authorities asked to have it temporarily. It will hang in a third floor corridor of Morrill hall. Nebraska's subdued offense roared into action with a start late Saturday, and in two brief, thrill-soaked minutes struck swiftly through the air for two touchdowns and a 1:1 1o G victory over Missouri's previously reckoned weak and docile Tigers. After scoring early in the fourth quarter, Nebraska raged on, but frequent penalties when the ball had been downed over or in the vicinity of the goal line kept the final score down to two tallies to one. As suddenly as it had arisen the storm subsided, and the final minutes were wasted in the listless playing and futile attempts which characterized three quarters of a. surprise ball game. Hut while the score board showed that Nebraska had added Oanother loss to Missouri's fast- growing string, much credit must be given to Coach Frank Carideo and his gallant Bengals, who en tered the game as the lowest of underdogs, and for three quarters threw scares into 16,000 Husker enthusiasts. An inspired Tiger, one with grasping claws and jowls dripping with lust for the kill, set out after the Cornhuskers, and for a time.it seemed that the Tigers on a rampage would prove too much for a Comhusker strangely and sadly lacking in offensive strength. Their fury reached its peak mid way of the third quarter, after stubborn resistance and Nehraska misplays had kept the Huskers from scoring territory, and a 30 yard Tiger pass from Lochiner to Bourne ended in a 25 yard sprint and 6 points against Nebraska. So anxious was the comparatively small crowd that gathered in the stadium for action that they burst into spontaneous cheering as Bourne evaded two Scarlet clad secondary defenders, whose busi ness it is to watch out for just what happened, and scampered merrily on, brought clown by Par sons only when safely over the last chalk mark. Scarlet Not Up to Par. And then, too, the Huskers' playing rather disgusted the cus tomers, who had converged expect ing to sec a smashing Nebraska victory. And from all advance in dications, Coach Carideo and his Black and Old Gold lads should have fallen easy and sure victims to the Huskers. Maybe they would have, if Ne braska had been playing the type of ball which is usually associated with Scarlet grid teams. Not that Nebraska wasn't playing good ball they wore, good ball conducive to a Missouri victory. And for three quarters it seemed that Nebraska's type of ball playing would present a game to the Mizzou, their first this season. But when Missouri scored in the third quarter, a spark was set off in the Nebraska team, a spark that took hold and grew into a roaring flame of devasta tion in the final period. With Toby EUlridge, Bob Benson, Chief Bauer, and Gk'n Skewes doing the hall toting, or rather ball throwing, for the Huskers showed themselves to be definitely lateral-minded, two touchdowns were scored in the space of two minutes, and two more were shoved across that were called back because of penalties later in the quarter. Kaggies Still Threaten. But while Nebraska's last quar ter offense clicked in convincing fashion for a win, news flashed over the wire that carried with it dire threats to the Huskers' con tinued supremacy in the Big Six. From Ames, Iowa, came the flash: Kansas State 20, Iowa Slate 0.
