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. n iiy a 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 man it is u that is possible. L.

D. S. 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. T. L. 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. gon in talking to his players. 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." WATSON BEECH GETS RESEARCH POSITION Watson E. Beech, who received his masters degree from the de partment of zoology last June, has been given a research fellowship at Iowa State College, for work with the Biological survey on game management problems. According to President Angell of Yale, an historical novel is like a bustle. It is a fictitious tale based on a stern reality. OFFICIAL BULLETIN Student Council.
