Ball Prices
May Be Cut
Chancellor, Thompson
To Confer With Oury
General admission price for the
Military ball may be lowered from
$2.00 to S1.25, the Daily Ncbras
kan learned late Saturday.
Chancellor C. S. Boucher. Dean
T. J, Thompson and Col. W. H.
Oury are to meet Monday to dis
cuss the price matter, according
to the information gained from re
liable sources.
As the price arrangement now
stands, R. O. T. C. officers in uni
form pay $1.25 for their Military
ball ticket and persons attending
the ball who ate not R. O. T. ('.
officers pay $2.00 for their tickets.
Complaint that the difference of
75 cents between the two types of
tickets is an unfair discrimina
tion was made to the dean early
the past week by a small group
of students.
The basis for complaint has
been that (1) it is a university
sanctioned affair with discrimina
tions being made nmong univer
sity students and that (2 1 it opens
the formal social season and so
should have a one-price level.
The rebuttal of the military de
partment is that it plans, arranges
and underwrites the hall.

Lincoln Journal,
rejoices nation's return from "almost totalitarian."
By Ed Wittenberg
In crisp, terse fashion, Hans Von
Kaltenborn "Edited the News" for
about 1200 Lincoinites Saturday
evening, showing himself unfriend
ly to:
1. A third term for Roosevelt
and Interference in state elections
by him.
2. Chamberlain's "cowardly" at
titude toward the dictators.
3. Present application of "neu
trality" by the United States and
a formal Anglo-Americun alliance.
He was definitely inimical to
the fascist dictatorships and all
their policies of aggression and
persecution.
Tho tall, portly, professional
"dean" of radio commentators fa
vored: The two-party system in
America; a single seven year
term for the president; firm ac
tion against Germany, Italy and
Japan on the part of the democ
racies; revision of neutrality laws;
"parallel action" by the United
States and Great Britain.
In a brief summary of the elec
tions of Nov. 8, Kaltenborn re
joiced in the return, of a strong,
well organized opposition to the
administration after a period from
1932 to 1938 under a government
"almost totalitarian."
Many of the progressive meas
ures of the new1 deal will stand,
he said, adding that the republican
party is showing a trend toward
the left while the democrats are
now veering to the right. He wel
corned the demise of LaFollette's
third party and the abandonment
of all chances of Roosevelt for a
third term. H criticized the pres
ent Dr. Jekyli-Mr. Hyde policy
forced on the president who, as
leader of his party, uets in ways
unbecoming to the leader of the
country as a whole. Kaltenborn

Make Two Goal Stands
BY JUNE BIERBOWER.
Nebraska won a 14-0. football
game from Iowa yesterday, but
that doesn't tell the story of a
Husker team backed up in its own
territory for nearly an entire two
and a half quarters, or of holding
twice within its own 10 yard line
with only a one touchdown lead.
The Hawkeyes. with Frank Ba
lazs and Nile Kinnick leading a
passing attack which rolled up
practically every one of the Hawks'
first downs, were unable to score
when the Huskers jumped to the
defense of their own goal line
once when the deadly Hawk pass
ing attack had brought the ball to
the Husker 2 yard line, and again
in the third quarter when old
faithfuls Charley Brock and Jack
Dodd batted down a fourth down
rass thrown from the Husker 5.
Biff's boys counted first as Bob
Mills recovered Frank Belazs'
fumble on the Iowa 37 late in the
first quarter. George Seeman had
tackled the Chicagoan who was
attempting to pass. Herman Roh
rig made si:: over left tackle, and
Jack Dodd swept the Iowa right
side for 2S yards before safety
man Eicherly bumped him out of
bounds. Roiirig took the ball
through left tackle again, and
scored the first Husker touchdown
made through an opposing line
this year. Hermie's placckick, with
Thelps holding the ball, was good.
The Huskers scored their last
seven poinU with three minutes
leu as George Porter, injured
against Iowa .State, led the way.
Bus Knight had quick kic'.red out
of bounds on the Iowa 1 yard line,
where Nile Kinnick attempted to
pass. Knight intercepted and ran
to Iowa's 3, but for the third time
a Nebraska interception was pe
nalized on a clipping or holding
ioin. inis one put the fiall on the
24, and once more Jack Dodd came
through with a Hi yard dash
around the Iowa right end, with
Porter, who had replaced Knight,
doing the blocking. Butch Luther
charged through to the 5 behind
Porter, and then the Denver quar
terback took it over. Bill Andreson
added the extra point.
Brock Intercepts.
Now, though, to the major part
of the day, which saw Iowa storm
