and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but

The Big Six
-A Tartar.
POKT circles are still buzzing about the
moral victory Kansas State boasts of hav
ing achieved over Nebraska in holding the
favored Huskers to a scoreless tie. It seems
that some sort of Nebraska record was broken
by the tie, this being the first time that a Ne
braska team had failed to come back and win
after a loss the preceding game. This unusual
state of affairs immediately brought forth
much criticism, much of it uufouuded.
Various and sundry reasons have been ad
vanced by the many pseudo-sports experts for
the listless game plaved bv the Huskers; Thev
were tired from the Minnesota game, they did
not give their all, there was poor quarterbaek-
Ing. Any or all or none of these reasons may
be right. Probably it was the expected case
of an unavoidable letdown following a crucial
straggle.
The Nebraskan, however, does not intend
to pass judgment on the cause for the tie.
Rather it desires to point out one thing this
school and its followers must become con
scious of and that is the fact that every other
Big Six team plays over its head when it meets
Nebraska.
This is not to make an excuse for the tie
by Kansas State or previous conference de
feats, for the Wildcats are undoubtedly one of
the strongest teams in the conference. . It is
merely to observe a too evident truth which
causes the Huskers no end of trouble annually.
Nebraska is the big game of the year for
Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa Stare, Missouri,
and Oklahoma. Lose all the rest of their
games they may, but if they beat the Scarlet
their season is a huge success. All season long
they point for the Nebraska battle. Their
schedules are arranged to give them plenty of
time to prepare for the Buskers. Their coaches
pouna -Jteat Jerraska 7 into their respective
piayers Heads until that slogan fairly oozes
out oi every gridster. And when the Nebras
ka game comes around, the Huskers find them
selves pitted against a bunch of keyed-up,
fighting players who keep them on the move
every minute. That s what the Pig Six has in
store for Nebraska usually every opponent a
Tartar.
Yet that is not Big- Six football. The Big
on. comerence is consistently given one of the
lowest ratings of any grid loop in the nation.
Nebraska is the only team in the conference
that maintains a non-conference schedule that
is top-notch. Kansas and Kansas State are
coming up rapidly by scheduling' more impor
tant opponents than heretofore, but they still
lag, while remaining schools of the conference
content themselves with playing second rate
non-conference teams.
They sit back playing easy teams like St.
Benedict's, Upper Iowa, Cornell college, North
east Missouri Teachers, Wm. Jewell Warrens
burg, Washington university, Hayes Teachers
ithis year a surprise), and New Mexico. Right
there is where the Big Six gets its low rating.
More than half its teams play too many breath
ers which every so often provide them with
unexpected reverses.
One of two things is wrong here: Either
they haven't the material or they haven't the
nerve to play a strong non-conference sched
ule as does Nebraska. But that doesn't keep
them from firing both barrels at Nebraska
when the time comes.

IS'ew Song?
TO THE EDITOR:
Lester Palmer's new Nebraska song and
the failure of it to meet with general approval
have started several embryo songwriters com
posing something that will do for Nebraska
what "Anchors Away'' has done for the naval
academy. Palmer's song was not accepted as
the proper thing, and the writeup in the cur
rent Awgwan will probably put it out of existence.
Hut before 1 lie students of Nebraska have
another song, they should learn what to do
with the ones lliey have now. ''There is No
Place Like Nebraska"' should meet every re
quirement of a rousing pop song. It has boon
played in medlcvs with other college songs by
dance bands in the state and comes up to most
of them. What the students should do is to
get behind this song and make it known over
the entire country.
''The Cornhusker" also has all ihe quali
ties that an alma mater song should have. The
reason these songs are not so popular as some
of those of other colleges is not that they are
not. good enough to compare with them but
because the student body is not backing them
The alumni of the university do not want the
school songs changed. Hearing either of these
two songs is what brins back memories of their
alma mater. A new song would not do this
What connection can a song first released in
inn i . i s a
i:.vt) nave witn tne scnooi oava oi someone
who was here in 1910?
There is no reason why Nebraska songi
m e not played over the radio like other college
songs except the fact that thev have not been
given the proper publicity. When Lawrence
Ely was chosen for Grantland Rice's All
American eleven for Colliers magazine, the se
lection was announced over the Columbia
broadcasting chain. The college song of each
man was plaved immediately after his name
was read. The song played in connection with
ji.iv was someining lew eJirasKans had ever
heard. Something that was written probablv
by a fraternity brother of the president of the
broadcasting company back in 31)15 was heard
by the listeners. If the song had been "There
Is No Place Like Nebraska." everyone would
have recognized it, the Nebraska fans as a Ne
braska song, and others as a college song.
nere is the University of Nebraska de
partment of public relations when college
songs ire being called to the attention of
broadcasting stations and dance band direc
tors? The Nebraska football team is no detri
ment to the school. It probably brings as
many students here as any ajrencv. The school
and the team would receive more publicity if
a song was known that could be played in con
nection with broadcasts about the Nebraska
eleven.
The students should do their share of ad
vertising a song. Evidently they will have 1o
do all of it. They should expect to cive it tlir-ii-
whole-hearted support at least while they are
in school. All the current attention on new
songs might result in neglect of those thev
nave now. and the situation grow even wor

Time Magazine Pays Tribute
To Bible in This Week's Issue
(Continued from Page 1.)
Macn isi Die says that winning
games gives him less satisfaction
than it used to but losing them Is
more painful. At Nebraska, his
football squad. usually contain a
plethora of oversized Nordic farm
boys. Most Midwestern teams en
joy elaborate junkets lasting from
two days to a week. Coach Bible's
squads rarely play far from Lin
coln, arrive only a few hours be
fore the game.
A large source of income to his
colleagues of comparable distinc
tion comes from newspaper writ
ing. Coach Bible rejects offers of
this kind on the ground that It
would be "chiseling" sports-wri-tera.
He seems to enjoy golf, which
ne plays bacuy. He discusses foot
ball with his wife at the dinner ta
ble, carefully avoids football jar-
rse
In the face of this concerted "get Nebras
ka" movement, however, the Huskers have still
brought home the Big Six pennant five out of
seven times, which is a remarkable record and
one which seems to conclusively indicate that
so far the Huskers have played a brand of
football superior to that of their conference
opponents. In fact, it is regularly advocated
that Nebraska seek admittance into the Big
Ten since every indication is that the HusEers
are too good for the Big Six and should travel
in faster company.
It is questionable whether Nebraska wants
In the Big Ten altho it is certainly of Big Ton
caliber. For Nebraska doesn't need to get into
the Big Ten to get stiff ecmjetition even
though Big Six teams are more or less modi
ere for she gets something in every Big Six
tnssle that other conference teams are lucky
enough to scape as a rule an opponent who
it pointing for her.
Nebraska fans have got to educate them
selves to this fact. That the Big Six confer
ence presents a formidable barrier to Nebras
ka hopes as has been capably demonstrated on
leveral occasions. Half of the Big Six is on
the way np; and when or if the other half fol
lows suit the Big Six will be tougher.still. In
addition, more and nore men are turning out
for football st other Big Six schools, an indi
cation that they are not conteut with the too
frequent reign of Nebraska teams, and Ne
braska is going to have to do something to
match their strides.
The Cornhusker public must realize these
facts and reinemW that when Nebraska plat
a Ei Six team it is plajinj: an oiiiwient Lo i
Seems
Like Home.
TO THE EDITOR:
The editorial by "G. P." was of special
interest to me. It was so different from any
thing I should have contributed three years
ago. At that time I was an import from one
of the state's smallest colleges, having attend
ed it for one year.
At the beginning of my University of Ne
braska career it seemed almost incredible in
me that people were so friendly. They really
seemed interested in me. They were not "high
hat." They were willing to help me, even were
glad to do so.
There seemed to be an endless number of
organizations that were inexpensive with
which a "barb" could affiliate himself and so
facilitate becoming acquainted.
(Ihese were my first reactions. Some
times a halo becomes a bit rusty after looking
at it for three years, especially if a person sees
now it is made.;
However, one of my impressions about Ne
braska which I feel will be most lasting is:
"It's always seemed like home." A. C.
Campus
Friendship.
TO THE EDITOR:
Congratulations, and a few of WincheH's
orchids to yon, O. P. In stating in a recent
Student Tulse that Nebraska is a friendly
school, but coldly go, you hit the well known
nail on its equally well known head. Nebras
ka is friendly, but it is certainly friendly in a
vuju, iiisiarji way.
The student union was one solution, but
as you stated, it was taken from us. The
fraternity standpoint might be argued. It is
obvious that fraternity members have more
opportunity to make social contacts and con
sequently acquire a wider range of friendship
than do the unaffiliated students.
Activities help in making contacts, and
there is the Barb organization for unaffiliated
students. That is one thing that would be of
great a.: if interest and enthusiasm could be
aroused for the matter. The poor attendance
at the mass meeting for Barb men held last
week was proof that general interest has not
been aroused as yet.
Some organization such as the Barbs is
perhaps the best bet to make Nebraska a
friendly school in the true sense of the word,
G. P but certainly it will have to be worked'
np to a point where there is a little co-operation
and support for the organization. Then
Kihaps cue will Lave more than a dozen or
Let There
lie Quiet!
TO THE EDITOR:
Serious students spend much of their time
in the reserve room of main library. Even stu
dents who would resent being called "serious"
spend an occasional hour there. These periods
of study are prone to interruption unless Ihe
student concentrates on the page before him
without a flicker of interest when two soror
ity sisters run up to each other, or someone
goes from window to window to adjust the
draft.
Unless the student has unusual powers of
concentrating, or the material is exceedingly
interesting, the bare wood floor which creaks
and groans under footsteps will continually
rouse him from his work. The room is large,
and echoes, once started, take minutes to die
lown. This combination of noisy floors and
lasting chocs is enough to make any student
who wants to study give up in despair.
There are two possible solutions to this
problem, but only one is feasible. A new li
brary is the best solution, but until one can
be achieved, a mat would serve successfully
to deaden sounds and provide students with a
quiet room for study.

They Don't
Know We're Here.
TO THE EDITOR:
The University of Nebraska has ions hid
its light under a bushel. It shies from pub
licity to such an extent that outstate citizens
wonder if Creichton isn't a larger school.
The universities of Kansas, Iowa, Okla
homa, and Missouri all burst into the rotogra
vnre sections with some regularity, and fur
nish some really interesting publicity about
their school. Four times a year, (sometimes;
the pictures of Nebraska's sweetheart, honor
ary colonel, prom girl, and May queen are sent
out from the university, and at tnose wiueiy
separated dates the attention of the outside
world is called to the existence of our nisiitu
tion. Lately, an enterprising Omaha photogra
phcr has made some good shots of registration
and rallies, out tneir nistriimiion is luum-u m
the circulation of that paper.
A disgruntled student in our frat once re
marked to me that when these classic beauties
do appear, they offer no startling advertise
ments for the pulchritude supposedly possessed
by this institution. In fact, last year's Awg
wan selected a number of so called "beauties
whose pictures were arranged together in
block in an Omaha paper resembling very
much a plain mud fence.
"When the legislature slashes the univer
sity appropriation in two, some people say
"hard times." Maybe so, but I think that 1
the citizens of the state were made a little
more "university conscious," and had the ac
tivities of this school kept before their eyes
every day, there wouldn't be so much penny
pinching in the higher educational centers of
our state.
Look at our campus! A fire trap library
that won't accommodate the students who do
venture near, decaying University hall, totter
ing Nebraska hall, rotting Pharmacy hall, and
a landscape plan that s the envy of every col
lege for miles around.
Then look at Iowa State or Iowa U. Kan
sas State or Kansas U odd that where great
est outside interest is centered in the school
the school is kept up best.
Publicity costs very little just the lime
and expense of collecting fact, features, and
pictures about the school and sending them t
newspapers. The newspapers want it univer
sity news has a high market value because of
great mlerest group. The athletic depart
ment has discovered this, and its financial re
turns for the publicity devised need not be
elaborated upon. Better spend less time driv
ing money changers from the temples of edu
cation and put up some publicity props before
the rotting temples cave in. G. R.

Doe Little Writing.
"That Coach Bible does no
newspaper writing is perhaps as
well as for all concerned. A sam
ple of his Delphic style is his pro
nouncement in the Nebraska
Alumnus: "In brief, Nebraska
stands to win every game on its
schedule and on the other hand the
Cornhuskers stand to lose each
contest."
"Nebraska fresh from victories
over Iowa State and Chicago, last
week played Minnesota, undefeat
ed since 1932, in what experts ex
pected might be a game to deter
mine the Midwest's candidate for
the best team in the U. S. Minne
sota got a touchdown after a 74
yard run on the first kickoff, bot
tled up Nebraska's Lloyd Card
well for three periods, staved off
two last-quarter charges inside the
10-yard line, caused Coach Bible
excessive pain by winning 12 to 7."
