Dear Biff Jones:
Lust week, Major, the Daily Nclxiiska n
ruminated nt letiRth over the opportunities thul
Nebraska had in repenting its UK!7 Iriuiupli
over Minnesota. Without predicting a game re
sult, the Rug mulled over the arguments pro
and con that sprung from the (jopher-llusker
battle. The conclusion was that spirit, loomed
as Nebraska's biggest asset.
Everyone who migrated north and saw the
game will agree that your boys had plenty ol!
spirit. . . . enough for a gallant goal-line stand
that stymied a tiopher touchdown march and
sufficient to hold the Gopher tally down to a
disputed sixteen points. Jack Dodd's admirable
audacity in stealing the ball out, of the relaxed
arms of an apparently cocky Minnesota ball
lugger showed the kind of spunk the lluskcrs
possess.
But Minnesota is one for the books now.
The downtown quarterbacks may still be re
playing parts of the game, but you and the
Huskers must shrug it off as just another game
and concentrate on this week's rival Iowa
State.
Press reports from Ames clearly show that
the Cyclones would like nothing better than lo
blow the Huskers off tlw Hig Six throne. And
they feel like they can do it, against a team
that will show a lot of wear and tear from the
gruelling Gopher classic. You, therefore, must
dig down into your reserve stock to put a team
on the field that will weather the Cyclones.
You and your ,'lones boys are unfortunately
"on the spot" this Saturday. The non-playing
quarterbacks have ihe Iowa State-Nebraska
game tagged as a "breather," following the
tough opener against Minnesota. And "breath
ers," Major, to them are games easily won.
If your sophomore-studdeS eleven fails to
cop this "breather," they may start beating
the drums as is their custom. You are not the
type of coach who worries what the boys are
saying downtown, and for this, thanks are in
order.
All indications point to a fine Saturday for
the opening home game. Crisper weather. Stiff
competition. Football fever. Crofd color. Girl
cheerleaders, if the N club has its way.
Your Huskers had their football appetites
properly whetted last Saturday. They should
be settled down lo a season of long Saturday
afternoons, now that the pre-Minnesota nerv
ousness has worn off. Another thing. Major,
which should be comforting to you and your
Jones boys Memorial Stadium will be jammed
with Scarlet and Cream football nuts, which
means a lot in any man's game.
Wolvin To Head
Military Group
Detoneers to Consider
National Chapter Here
Capt. Dale Wolvin was elected
president of the Detoneers society,
honorary organization of advanced
military engineers, when that
group met Wednesday evening at
the Student Union for its first
meeting of the year.
Other officers elected at the
meeting were Lt. Col. Francis
Loetterle, vice president, and Capt.
Earle Muaer, secretary-treasurer.
Retiring officers whose terms have
now expired are Col. John Cramer,
president; Lt. Col. John E. Pease,
vice president; and Capt. Tom Ed
wards, secretary-treasurer.
Taken under consideration at the
meeting was a proposal for the
Detoneers to sponsor a chapter of
the American Society of Mi'tary
Engineers here at the university.
A committee appointed to investi
gate the advisability of the project
will make its report at the next
meeting.
This organization, if sponsored
by the Detoneers, wll be open to
basic as well as advanced military
engineering students. All juniors
taking advanced military science
are invited to attend the next
meeting of the society which will
held on Thursday, Oct. 20.
Just What Is
a College Man?
Kent Professor Sees
Walking Contradiction
When it comes to describing the
college man of 1938, so many and
varied are the paragraphic por
trayals that he is at once a nfas-ter-mind
and a dolt, a play-boy
and a great student. None has so
brilliantly painted the picture as
Kent State University'! Dean R. E.
Manchester, who sets the man-of-the-campus
on his pedestal in the
following manner;
"The college man is a living
paradox. Most poople cannot un
derstand him and those who do,
come to their conclusions by in
direct proof. He talks of the fu
ture but worships the past. He is
liberal 1n his conversation but con
servative in his action. He is radi
cal in his opinions on politics, but
elects stand-patters to the claw
offices. He demands freedom oi
thinking but defends with all hi
strength the traditions of his in
stitution. He takes wild stands on
religious theories yet attends col
lege and universities that are
created and maintained by ortho
dox creeds. He preaches democ
racy yet supports the most rigid
campus caste system.
He demands that his university
maintains the highest athletic
standards yet in the same breath
also demands a professional foot
ball team. He scoffs at his profs
yet defends them strenuously
when they are criticized. He re
bels against rules but gets up
more rigid ones when given the
opportunity. He hazes the high
nchnnl graduate who comes with a
boy scout badge on his coat, but
he, covers hia own vest with med
als and keys. He Invents ahd uses
the most outlandish slang on the
street, but reads and writes pure
English in his room. He clamors
for self government but doean't
want It after he gets it.' He laughs
at convention but insists upon It.
He cuts classes the day before a
vacation but comes back three
days early.
"You ask 'What are we jolng to
do about It?' We are going to
praise ihe Lord that we have him
and tlrtit ha Is just what ha is, a
walking contradiction of himself."

are all out and have been changed
to dim gas bulbs which shine down.
The American consul advised my
four new friends here (who have
been traveling on the continent all
summer) to leave right away."
Miss Schwakc says that two in
structors of the school will return
on the same boat and that nearly
everyone is evacuating, leaving no
one at the school except the head
and secretary. Her boat is ex
pected to land in New York Sat
urday. The Cite, a building hous
ing the American students attend
ing the Paris branch of the New
York institution, will be taken over
by the French government and
used as a hospital and headquar
ters, in case of war.
This is the third year that the
opportunity for advanced study
abroad has been given a Nebraska
girl through the fine arts depart
ment of the university. The schol
arship was to have continued for
the year, but because of the pres
ent European situation Miss
Schwake will do her work in New
York City. Even though she has
been in France a relutlvely short
time, the Lincoln girl has been able
to visit many important renters of

Quizzes Fizzle
Michigan U. Survey
Knocks Test Theory
LANSING, Mich. (ACP).
Quiz-minded college professors
and proponents of frequent tests
lo jolt laggard students were
themselves given a jolt recently by
Michigan State College's Dr. Vic
tor H. Noll.
In reporting the results of his
researches on the effectiveness of
quizzes, Dr. Noll has revealed that:
"There is no evidence to sup
port the common belief among in
structors that written tests as
commonly used motivate learning
or increase total achievement in
college classes.
"The results of the study Indi
cate unequivocably that students
in a class where no quizezs of any
sort were used, other than a mid
term and a final examination show
consistently, though not substan
tially, higher average achievement
than is shown by students in
classes where occasional written
quizzes were given."
Searching for a reason for his
startling results. Dr. Noll said: ::It
may be that when students have
occasional quizzes they feel more
secure and therefore take the
longer examinations less seriously."
Palladians Fete
Delian Members
Comedy Play Features
Rival Societies' Meeting
"The Hill Billies Go to Town" is
the two-act comedy thriller with
which the Palladians intend to en
tertain the members of their fellow
literary society, the Delian Union,
at Palladian hall this evening at 9
o'clock.
This party at which the Palla
dians pfay host is an annual occa
sion. In the spring the Delian
Unioncrs return the honor.
Warren Lewis is the author of
tonight's original production which
is being produced by the arts and
science members of Palladian. It is
the first of a series of programs
planned, and John Stuart, program
chairman, guarantees "it will hold
everyone breathless until the final
curtain." All university students
interested in seeing the play are
welcome to attend.
Toy Trumpet Records
Aid In Music Instruction
Diers Develops New
Memorization Methods
Learn a simple melody in five
minutes? It can be done, and Is
heine- done under the tutorship of
Theodore Diers of the university
school of music. Not only is he
succeeding (n teaching rural school
children songs in this brief period
of time, but he has also succeed
ed in teaching them to play In
strumental melodies in as little as
twenty minutes.
In teaching this method of play
ing, Mr. Diers uses the "melody"
scries of instruments. These minia
ture music makers look much like
the ordinary run of toy instru
ments, but are scientifically con
structed to be played for musical
training. They work on the princi
ple of the flute, in that they do not
have a regular mouthpieces. No
keys are employed, the openings In
the body of the instrument being
covered by the fingers.
In the "melody" family are the
"clare-o-let," the "sax-o-let," and
a small flute. A miniature violin
can also be had, but is seldom em
ployed. To these instruments, pi
ano, xylophone, or other similar
instruments may be added to pro
vide accompaniment. In this man
ner a complete "band" may be or
ganized in a very short time, with
the possibility of learning two or
three part harmony in only a few
minutes more rehearsal time.
Lincoln Tryout.
In teaching the rapid system of
learning vocal music, a phono
graph is used, with a special rec
ord Of the song to be learned. The
record is played thru, then the
pupils join in., singing with the
music. In this way the melodies
are quickly learned by practically
all rural school groups. Part sing
ing may be taught by the same
method, but takes somewhat more
time.
These methods of teaching are
now being used extensively in the
places where provisions cannot be
made for a full or part time music
Instructor. They are finding espe
cial favor in rural schools, in con
solidated schools, and in small
towm schools.
T4is system being demonstrated
by Mr. Diers has been presented
in several teachers' meetings and
before prominent school officials,
including Superintendent Lcffler
of the Lincoln school system, who
has given it his full approval.
Demonstrations have been given at
meetings in Grand Island and
Ogallala; on Monday and Tuesday
Mr. Diers will demonstrate before
Fourth district teachers at Sidney,
Neb.

Committee Puts Ban
on Cars at Rallies
Arising from difficulties
caused in the past during
rallies, the rally committee
wishes to state definitely that
no outomobiles will be allowed
in the rally procession tomor
row night.
Due to students' riding run
ning boards and traffic en
tanglements resulting from
autos in the parades, the com
mittee has set this ruling and
warns that violation of It may
result In a future ban on foot
ball rallies.
Tomorrow night's rally will
'start on the Student Union
steps, being routed down R to
16th, then over to Vine, and
from there to the east stadium.
A police escort will lead the
parade, followed by Corn Cobs,
Tassels, the band and rallying
students.
Textbook Sunboths
Solve Germ Problem
BALTIMORE, Md. (ACP). Text
book kerms have long been the
problem of health-minded college
librarians and students, but their
fears are now proven unfounded.
Baltimore City College's Arthur
H. Bryan, after many experiments, j
gives the textbooks a pretty clean i
bill of health. Most of the germs j
he found in textbooks are of the i
harmless varity, but old and di- j
lapidated volumes are most to be i
feared. He recommends sunning '
old books to destroy harmful
germs. .
Squad Uses
Live Targets
Battle Unit Plans
Machine Gun Practice
Members of the Cornhusker
company, battle training unit, will
face machine guns Saturday at 9
a. m., as the organization stages,
its second action meeting of the
semester. Manned by a student
crew, a machine gun wltl be set
up on Russian Flats, and blank
cartridges wlil be fired at human
targets.
This is the first time In the his
tory of the university's military
department that a machine gun
has been used in combat training.
Commander of the gun crew will
be Ralph Reed, junior In military
science.
Squads of the company will take
turns testing their Ingenuity in
silencing the gun and capturing
the crew, and at the same time
losing as few men as possible. Re
sults of the attack will be used in
appointing non-commissioned of
ficers of the unit.
Juniors and sophomores are be
ing given an equal chance to com
pete for the position, according to
Maj, John U. Ayotte, sponsor, to
insure a merit basis.
This Saturday will also be the
last day for new recruits to report
at roonr 201, Nebraska hall, A
limited number of freshmen will
be admitted, in addition to the
sophomore candidates.
Despite the Minnesota migra
tion, 40 members spent last Satur
