After receiving their ballots, the voters will pans down the corridor to the east to vote. No one will be allowed in the corridor except poll officials and students actually in the act of voting.

Fossils Move Info Storage Lack of Space Forces Bones From Campus Eight heaping loads of valuable fossils were hauled from university store ge rooms to downtown stor age space because of overtaixed qviartcrs and the resulting hazards. Kven with this great quantity of material now removed, crowded conditions can still be found in the several basement ' rooms of An drews, now partly giuen over to the museum. Soon after Morrill hall was con structed, paleontology laboratories and storage facilities became In adequate, necessitating storing the bone material In isolated basement rooms particulaxly Andrews. But now all available space has been utilized, making it ncccsnary to truck the material to downtown bins. It Is ncccnsiiry to keep adding to the bone collection, museum of ficials point out, not only becaudo the bones are vahmblo and much sought after by other groups, but also because many prized pieces arc lo't each yonr by leaving ttiem in the gvound where they ne sub ject to erosion ana trampling.

From this group, representing a cross-section of University sorori ties and unaffiliated women, male students will pick the two to be honored. Tuesday Ann Gersib Reigns Over Farm Formal Farmers Go 'Dude' As Cowboy Duds Replace Overalls Two hundred fifty ag collegians atending the Farmer's Formal for sook their respectable blue denim overalls and gingham dresses for flashy dude ranch clothes. The tradition breaking extended even to staid Student Activities hall which was renamed "Susy-Que Ranch" and snappily decorated with baled hay, log cabins, rail fences, kerosene lanterns and cow boy regalia. A giant Texas sombrero, ruiiy 15 feet high, sat on the stage. Thru it at 10:15 p. m. crashed Cowgirl Ann Gersib of Lincoln, acclaimed queen of the formal by votes of the couples attending. Nine other candidates for the honor, garbed in colored silk shirts, brown sport skirls, and boleros, were attendants. Miss Gersib, a junior in home econom ics, was differentiated from tne others only by a white silk blouse, riding boots, and a bouquet or. roses. The nine attendants were: Rum Bauder, Glenvil; Jane Brackett, Lincoln: Bonnie Brown, Lincoln; Ruthe Browne, Thermopolis, Wyo.; Phyllis Chamberlain, Lincoln; Edith Filley, Lincoln; Doris Gray, Lincoln; Angelene Helleberr, Kearney; Marian Hoppert, Lin coln, Mary Louise O Connell, Den ver, Colo.; Phyllis Robinson, Lin coin. Sponsored each fall by the ag executive board, the formal is a "closed" party, attended only by students of the ag college and their dates. Co-chairmen of the party were Roger Cunningham of Gurley and Ruthanna Russell, Lin coln. Other committees included: decorations, Edwin Rousek, and Anabelle Hutchinson; presenta tion, Ann Gersib and William Pit ner; publicity, Ruth Bauder and Milton Gustafson; chaperones and orchestra, George Gooding .and Rhoda Chesley. The Jones Boys will return home this afternoon. After the swell game they played yester day, after going into the game as an underdog, they deserve every bit of home praise they can get. Their train will come In at about 2:15 at the Missouri Pacific depot. All students and fans should come down and greet the Biffer and his squad of red blooded, fighting Husk ers. Remember, 2:15 at the Mis. souri Pacific depot. Wolrer Winchell Colls... Dr. W. E. Walton Yalter Columnist Misnames Nebraska Psychologist He may be Prof. W. E. Walton to you but he's Dr. W. E.

Crow der, McCullough, Rogers, and Coi -rotto combined to give Husker de fenders almost as bad an afternoon as Minnesota's quartet of dynamit ing backs gave them earlier in the year. Light but fast and tricky, Mc Cullough passed, kicked, and ran over tackle and around ends, slick ing out like a thorn to the Ne braska defense. It was McCullough who scored both the Sooner touchdowns; it was McCullough who had most to do with setting up the pins for the Sooner scores; it was McCullough whose prodigious kicks with the wind kept the Huskcrs backed up t h r o u g hout that last quarter, and it was Mc- C u 1 1 o ugh who was definitely the most prominent player on the field yesterday afternoon.

His boom ing kicks averaged nearly 50 yards. Short passes thrown by the 180 pound fullback were completed 8 out of the 12 times he threw. Short passes behind the line they were, with Oklahoma blockers opening holes that netted 5 and ti yards on these plays. Oklahoma had the better team by far. Nebraska had only two scoring chances and didn't have the power to pu3h the ball across into the end zone.

" Whether Winchell Is so used to writing the name "Walter" that he mechanically puts "or" after every "Walt" is an unverified but logical deduction. To remind him of his error, tho Daily Nebra.sk.m has written America's Public Ad dress System No. 1 with the. proper correction made. He will also receive a copy of this .which he will promptly turn over to his vice president in charge of waste ba:dto'.s.
