What About It,
Nebraska?
' UJ to pre-season predictions, Nebraska
ushered in the 1935 grid season in fine
style Saturday as it humbled a strong Chicago
team. The Nebraskan is proud to join the rest
of the campus in congratulating the Corn
huskers on such an auspicious beginning. Coach
Bible's proteges left little doubt that they have
"what it takes to make a winning team.
Unfortunately not the same can be said for
our so-called cheering section which graces the
ast stadium and which is supposed to contain
the team's stoutest supporters. If ever a spine
less, colorless, miserable, wishy-washy exhibi
tion of school spirit and cheering was ever wit
nessed in Memorial Stadium it was seen Sat
urday afternoon. Had the Scarlet rooting sec
tion been charged with Chicago supporters in
stead of Nebraska students the demonstration
could hardly have been less conducive to a
Husker victory.
The situation must have appeared some
what odd to the huge crowd that witnessed the
game. Here were some 4,000 undergraduates
watching their team, one of the finest in the
entire nation, crush a formidable opponent,
while the student body sat there silently, pla
cidly, nonchalantly, as frantic cheerleaders lab
ored in vain to coax some faint vestige of a
song or yell from their unwilling throats,
"There is no place like Nebraska" ap
peared more than the title of a song Saturday.
It is doubtful if one-third of the cheers at
tempted were completed. Songs were sung half
heartedly, almost silently in a manner reminis
cent of funeral dirges. And the thunderous
roar of the crowd was almost lost in the voices
of the four yell kings who bravely tried to do
their duty.
Yes, here was pride in the alma mater and
her team asserting itself forcefully. Here was
that "do or die" spirit which gives birth to
winning teams, that staunch support which
makes them fight to the last ditch.
Across the field, crowded into end sec
tions of the west stadium, two exuberant
groups of high school pupils put on a demon
stration that should have struck shame into the
hearts of Nebraska students. These few hun
dred 'knotholers made more noise than the en
tire east stadium where reposed the sons and
daughters of Nebraska, to all intents and pur
poses half-dead.
What, we should like to know, was wrong
with our cheering section? Friday night's rally
had given promise of a much needed upturn in
student spirit. By Saturday afternoon almost
every trace of it had vanished.
Of course everyone cheered when a beau
tiful run or a touchdown was made. But that
is not when it is necessary. The team needs
those yells and songs when they are tired
weary, and hard-pressed.
No finer team could have represented this
university Saturday. No team deserved more
the support and cheers of its student body yet
no team, however poor, could have receiver
less. True enough it made little difference in
the outcome but what about future games on
this pretentious 1935 schedule?
We do not propose to suggest that every
student must yell himself hoarse at a game,
But why pretend to have a cheering section if
Saturday s apathetic performance is to be re
peated? The rooting section has been set aside
for the express purpose of giving encourage
ment to the team when it needs it most. If the
students who sit there now are not willing to
perform that duty, steps should be taken to
have them shifted elsewhere.
It would appear that here is an excellent
ODDortunitv for the Corn Cobs, Tassels, and
Innocents to accomplish something very much
worth while and very much needed. Nebraska
spirit must have a complete rebuilding and re-
vitalization.
We want an undefeated team. We want a
team to eo to the Rose Bowl. The Buskers
showed Saturday that they have what it takes
on the field. It's up to the student body now
to show that we also have "what it takes off the
field to realize that goal.

tvt a football came, and I never
came so near missing a show as I
did Saturday afternoon.
We left at the half for the the
ter, and I found the stage men run
ning up and down the street look
ing for me I was on! Some hoof
er was out in front making bad
jokes until I could make a change.
1 went on without any makeup,
suid you should k7e heard that
crowd cheer when we announced
the score.
X couldn't help wondering while
X was out there if Nebraska was
making another touchdown or not,
and after the act I changed back
to street clothes as quickly as I
had changed to my costume. Be
fore that splendid line the second
string, too had a chance to re
pulse Chicago's last serious threat,
I was back at the stadium, cheer
ing for my Nebraska boys again!
That football game was a fitting
climax to my stay here I've en
joyed it immensely. And I'll al
ways feel that I got much more
frcrr Lincoln than I gave.

about whoopee.
After a stage performance and
a radio interview Friday night.
Miss McCormic was whisked away
to dinner in the Chi Phi Cadillac.
Five minutes after her arrival she
knew every boy by name, especial
ly the brawny football players she
cneered for Saturday afternoon.
The boys went for ber in a big
way and why not? Maybe she's

that but one glance spells class

the brothers, "but I think I was
married to one once." Paddling

rounds of autographing.
Shell remember one other col
lege town with her Lincoln experi
ences a week end at Baylor uni
versity in Waco. An exclusive club
known as the Noseys, because an
overtaxed r-robiscus was a pre
requisite to membership, came to
her theater bent for trouble
In the front rows. They found her
to be one opera star without a
temperament, with a very likeable
disposition In its place. After a
short dressing room conference,
aba left with the twenty-five stage

most exclusive club. She sang for

the order with full honors as Sis
ter Hog-Caller McCormic
Next day the boys wanted to
take ber to the station. But like
meet college boys, they were short

eabs for the whole lodge. On her
suggestion, they chartered Waco's

Indiana death-cell, talked with her
during the last few hours of his
life. "He admitted the killing to

seemed so resigned about it. You'll
usually find them that way about
It."
One Michigan prisoner his life
banging in the balance of a few
weeks may receive his freedom if
the efforts of Miss McCormic and
her friends are successful. "It's a
long story, about him, but they
don't have the right man." A visit
planned for the Nebraska peniten

Sketch, Bronze
Zebra Given to
Dr. E. H. Barbour
Dr. Erwin H. Barbour and the
university museum received two
gifts the past week, one a copy
from an original bronze model of
a Grevy's zebra, and the other a
pen and ink sketch restoration of
syndyoceros cooki, an ancestral
deer. The original model of the
zebra was made by Murray Je
rome Roper, whr will be remenv
bered as the University of He-
braska boy who went from the
fine arts department here to the
James L. Clark studios in New
York City.
It was this studio that mounted
all the Adam Brede animal speci
mens in Morrill hall. Roper did
most of the mounting of the big
elephants shown in elephant hall.
His bronze zebra which was on
display at the national academy in
New York, took special honors,
and the copy sent to Doctor Bar
bour will be placed in the Mor
rill hall show case along with the
mounted Grevy zebras there.
The sketch of the ancestral deer
was made by Mrs. Edwin H. Col
bert and was used as one of the
illustrations to Mr. Colbert's ar
ticle on natural history entitled.
"Nebraska Fifteen Million Years
Ago." The article was published
in Natural History. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Colbert ere on the staff of

children should be taught certain
definite things, as practiced in
Italy, Germany, and other Euro

Condra Assists c
Nebraska Towns
In Water Search
Dr. George E. Condra, director
of the University of Nebraska con
servation and survey division, who
returned from an extended trip
throughout central and western
Nebraska, said he held conferences
Thursday with the city councils of
Napier, Butte, Spencer, Bristow
and Lynch and that plans were de
vised whereby these communities
may secure dependable water sup
plies of good quality. Dean Con
dra also spent considerable time in
tL incCook vicinity, helping city
autnorifs and engineers to de
velop emergency wells for future
use in case the rampaging Repub
lican river destroys the town's
principal mains.
The survey director, who knows
the underground geologic condition
of every foot of this state, said
good progress is being made in Mc-
(jook in aeveioping emergency
supply wens at any one of three
places north of town.
"State and federal agencies are
making every effort to use WPA
labor and funds In improving wa
ter supplies over the state," Dr.
Condra declared. "There is a large
area in Boyd, northern Holt and
northwestern Knox counties in
which for years the farms and
towns have had inadequate, water
supplies from wells, while along
side of these unfavorable areas
there are stretches of good water
bearing land, and in certain places
areas underlaid with artesian
water. Last year's drouth accen
tuated the water supply problem
