DESPITE the pastoral beauty of
a herd of sheep on the range,
a flock of woollea presents an un
pleasant picture as it approaches
the bed ground just before night
fall. The herd becomes a compact
mass of living things, similar and
simple, that emits a discordant
brawl of blatant baas. The noise
is disconcerting and foolish except
that the ev es are trying to find
their lambs. The university cheer
ing section at the Chicago game
rivaled a bunch of blatting baa
baas in everything but some ap
parent purpose for their unintel
ligible racket.
This raucous representation of
putrid pep spoiled an otherwise
perfect day. Unless an increase in
both coordination and cooperation
can be accomplished, silence is to
be preferred in the future.
ORCHIDS ase in order for
Arndt, the reason being that
quick thinking is appreciated from
professors. Being late for a class
on Friday when student enthusi
asm was a bit rampant, Mr. Arndt
met his class coming out as he
went in. The class had started a
rally of their own while still in
the class room and were bringing
same out with them when they en
countered the professor. With a
glint of his eye Arndt shattered the
noisy plaything and shooed the
class back into the room.
He looked at the class critically
for an instant and then addressed
himself to a nun who was taking
his course and had hitherto been
a silent actor in the little comedy.
Said Arndt a bit sternly, "Sister,
what did you have to do with this
rally?"
DID anybody read Twunkle
Twunkle's puerile contribution
to journalism under the title of
"Around and About" in the Sun
day Nebraskan? The only fault
to be found with her paromanistic
efforts is that she herself doesn't
appreciate them. The pun on the
"posht-mashter" was good, but she
called them all smelly. I should
like to go on record in defense of
the art of punning. The current
practice of saying "phew" and
grasping the olfactory organ
every time somebody pulls a pun,
good or bad, should be abandoned.
AFTER the game Saturday there
was an accident at Thirteenth
and R. A motorcycle cop travel
ing at a terrific pace collided with
an auto and was thrown complete
ly over the car. He was appar
ently only a bit shaken up and
taken to the hospital by the party
he smashed into. It seems that
26,000 people got out of the stad
ium with a minimum of mishaps.
WHO is this guy Cardwell ? In
the interest of Nebraska's ex
cellent chance at the Big Six title
and other laurels, it is here sug
gested that anyone seeing the
above named gentleman reading a
newspaper three days before or
four days following Saturday will
confiscate said paper.

CORNHUSKER
THE CORNHUSKER
(It is a Nebraska custom, to stand with heads bared
during the singing of the Cornhusker.)
Come a runnin', boys. Don't you hear that noise
Like thunder in the sky.
How it rolls along, in the good old song,
For the sons of Ne-bras-ki.
Now it's coming near with a rising cheer
That will sweep all foes away.
So with all our vim, we are bound to win,
And we're going to win today
CHORUS.
For Nebrasku and the Scarlet, for Nebraska and

Tho they go thru many a battle, our colors still

So in contest and in victory we will wave them for

Lyman Says Health
Of Students Better
In Depression Years
Hard times make for better
health, at least among students of
the University or xseorasKa, claims
Dr. R A. Lvman. dean of the col
lege of pharmacy and director of
student health service.
"Tt i.q mv personal observation,
stated Dr. Lyman, "that the gen
eral health level of the student
body at this university has risen
each year since the beginning of
the depression. Less dissipation as
a result of restricted finances Is
undoubtedly the cause."
While the student health service
of the university has handled an
nually a greater number of cases
in the past few years, tnis is not
to be consiaerea an maicauon oi
poorer student health but the re
sult of increased enrollment and
additional medical examinations
required of students doing federal
work.
"I am afraid that continued legal
use of liquor will adversely affect
student health within a very few
years," warned the pharmacy
dean, long a foe of alcoholism.

eil representatives wus inaug
urated Monday when Mary hi
Petersen, chairman of the con
ference committee of the Student
Council, sent out letters to presi
dents of student bodies of the con
ference schools requesting coop
eration in planning a convention.
"The conference is being ar
ranged so that the student govern
ing bodies at the surrounding uni
versities may exchange ideas
which are being worked out suc
cessfully at their respective
schools," Miss Petersen pointed
out. "Every school has its trou
bles, and this proposed gathering,
it is hoped, will help to iron out
these difficulties."
Postponed Last Spring.
Last spring the Nebraska coun
cil attempted to call a meeting of
the heads of the Big Six schools,
but late replies necessitated a ,
postponement of this project until
this fall. Although the confer
ences have been held in previous
years, recently the idea has been
dropped.
"Mutual problems have been
troubling the schools in this vicin
ity for many years such as the se
curing of first rate dance bands
for major social functions," Miss
Petersen continued, "and by join
ing hands the institutions will
most likely be able to work out a
plausible scheme for solving such
troubles."
To Pool Problems.
It is believed that thru such co
operation many projects, whi !i
the councils have tried to put over
singly and failed, would becom"
realizations if their efforts wem
pooled.
Student Council officials expert
rpnlies in the near future, and ?c-
tion will be based upon tnese n-i-swers.
In the letters the pre. i
ripnts nre hpine- asked their pref
erence for the date of the confer

a date which will be acceptable to
all, according to Miss Petersen.
Other members of the confer
