Workers Install
Book Shelves in
Library Cellar
Workmen will be busy In the
basement of the university library
this week installing new steel book
stacks which will shelve 40,000
needed volumes now kept in vari-
, ous storage rooms over the cam
pus. When the work is finished,
probably by Nov. 15, students will
find not only the books of the state
historical society museum avail
able in the library basement, but
t all books pertaining to history.
At the present not more than
1,000 volumes now in storage, will
be brought in to supplement the
historical society library, Gilbert
Doane, librarian, stated. This will
leave shelving space for about 28,
000 additional historical books
which will be added within the
next four years. The university li
brary averages aobut 7,000 new
books each year.
"We are not bringing in new
books In anv appreciable amount,"
Mr. Doane said. "Of the 300,000
volumes which are listed as the
property of our library, 200,000
will still be Kept ouisiae mis
buildlnc."
Board of regents appropriated
$15,000 for providing norary ra-
xlKtloa nn tha. hn.UfmPIlt floor. The
steel stacks cost betwWn $9,000
and $10,000, while the remainder
soes for recementlng the noor,
which was believed necessary after
termites had been discovered.

BALLOT TUESDAY
By Politicus VI.
Two davs remain until election
day, and a record number of fil
ings indicate that a record amount
of interest will center around the
lobby of the Temple theater this
year. No independents on men a
tickets means a battle royal be
tween the two factions; a record
number of Sweetheart and Colonel
aspirants will result in a split, but
nevertheless greater in aggregate,
general vote.
Echoes of the Mortar Board
resolution reaffirming the society's
stand against intersorority politics
rang from the announcement oi
women's candidates. With every
major sorority presenting a candi
date for the election, suspicions
that any alliances exist cannot be
reasonable.
No records of previous years
come to the aid of would-be po
litical prophets; progressives have
two spring and one fall elections
in their belt in the last two years,
but still the Green Togas were vic
torious at last fall's ballot spree.
That a strong barb representa
tion will be evident this year is
foreseen in the fact that two barb
women have filed for the respec
tive women's offices. This attempt
of unaffiliated women to break
into electoral circles normally
dominated by sororities will re
ceive the support of all organized
barbs, and result in greater
strength of the progressive slate
at the same time.
Both factions spent the week
end seeking support in sorority
houses, a source of votes less de
terminable than the traditional
barb electorate, and both parties
will make a final bid for ballots
at rallies late Monday night. Ac
cording to custom, the ureen Togas
first proceed down sorority row in
lockstep. aided by Hares and
locker room quartet.

Climax of Farmer's Formal, held
on ag campus, Friday, Oct. 24,
was the presentation of Miss Con

and Miss Ruth Henderson as her
attendant. Miss Clinchard is from
Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, and
Miss Henderson from Hardy, Ne
braska. Both girls are seniors in
the college of agriculture, and
were elected by popular vote of the
men present at the dance.
Over 600 students attended the
affair, considered as the highlight
of the fall social season on the
Holdrege campus. The presenta
tion occurred at 10:30 on a stage
decorated as a fall corn field. Miss
Henderson, the attendant, was
seen wandering thru the corn
stalks and autumn leaves search

Any Man in University One

Try-outs for the university de

who has been at the university one
year may compete in these trials,
Debaters are cnosen Dy judges ap
pointed to hear them.
After takine tnree Dauois xo
reach a decision, Missouri Valley
universities have voted in favor of
using the agricultural adjustment
subject this season. The wording
of the proposition, subject to slight
changes, is, "Resolved, mat tne
Agricultural Adjustment Act is
detrimental to the best interests of
agriculture."
Arrangements for the initial de
bates this year have been delayed
until now because of tne delay in
deciding what the topic of debate
would be. University oenaiers,
however, are already beginning to
work up a new case on this topic.
Material on the agricultural sub
ject is available in the university
library.
Last year over fifteen success
ful debates were held on a similar
topic before farm audiences in Ne
braska, Kansas, and Iowa. The
State college of Iowa has again
requested that Nebraska send
team to Ames and to some other
towns in Iowa to discuss the sub
ject before county agricultural
groups. It is likely that this will
be the topic chosen for a proposed
assembly to be held in Topeka in
January with several colleges par
ticipating in & general forum dis

The subject this year for Pi

Huskers Improved.
There wasn't any comparison
between the Cornhuskers Saturday
and those of a week ago. If Okla
homa had counted on having an
easy time of it with the listlesn
Huskers who couldn't get more
than a scoreless tie with Kansas
State, she was sadly mistaken; for
the team that knocked her out of
first place in the conference Sat
urday was a fighting, determined
machine, tense and on edge, "rar-
in' to go."
Undoubtedly one of the major
factors in the Husker renaissance
was the return of Henry Bauer to
his regular quarterback duties.
Chief made it certain Saturday
that he's one of those persons dis
tinguished as "sparkplugs." No
sooner had he raced across mo
field from the sidelines, whore r n
injured ankle had confined him : r
the last two weeks, than the Hut ;-. .
started rolling again, f I
raced toward Oklahoma's goal i

Sam Francis took sooner na i-
back Breeden's opening kiekotf i
his 35-yard line, split clear u t
the Oklahoma team for thir.v
yards, and narrowly missed ac ting
away with a clear field ahes 'l
of him. But the attack ran out or
fuel, for the Sooners were obvious
ly lying in ambush for Lloyd
Cardwell, and Jerry LaNoue, ai
tho he streaked goalward twice on
end sweeps, couldn't keep it up.
Bauer Shoots Pass.
And so, with seven minutes of
the game elapsed, Bauer replaced
Johnnie Howell, evidently with or
ders to go out and get a touch
down quick. The Husker pass
factory did just that. On his first
play, standing on the okianoma
35-yard line, he lodged a long
spiral in Wildhorse Cardwell's
arms that lacked just two yarns or.
crossing the goal. Big Sara buck
ed the line twice, and Cardy, whose
reputation for scoring touchdowns
suffered something of a setback at
Manhattan, tore around right end
for the first Husker marker.
But Cardy didn't base his claim
for glory on a single little two-
yard run. Breeden kicked oft
again, and the sewara iran Diaz
er, snagging a lateral from Bauer
on a cross buck, raced from his
own 10-yard stripe to Oklahoma's
8 eiehty-two yards in an. aiioo

Bones Eons Old
Now Are Useful
In a 'Bonaphone'
Latest features to come out of
the "bone pile" at the University
museum is a "bonaphone," built by
Henry Reider, of the museum staff
from material probably a million
years old. Altho in its embryo
stas-e. Reider has perfected an in
strument modeled after the marim-
baphone, with rib bones from sev
eral prehistoric rhinoceroses very
carefully chosen and mounted on
felt pads.
When the musical creation is
complete, Reider will be able to
run the scale for several octaves.
Even sharps and flats, the black
keys on the piano, will be added.
Before the proper pitched ribs were
found, it was necessary to test the
fossilized remains of numerous
rhinoceroses.
While certain bones are pitched
high and others low, the deeper
tones come from the longer pieces
and the soprano notes from the
shorter. The instrument was per
fected sufficiently, however, for
Reider to present a short program
before a visiting group at the mu
seum. The public will probably have
the opportunity of aeeing and
hearing the mellow sounding "bon
aphone" for officials are talkin?
of displaying it in one of the down
town musis stores aftr its completion.
