The best laid plans
yon knov the rest!
U'r MiiineNotn or bust for scores of university students this
coming weekend anl the same for about 3.000 outsiders whoSe
love for nl loyalty to Nebraska football will draw them almost
500 miles to Minneapolis to watch the Jones boys in the season's
opener.
Whatever the outcome of the game, ami naturally we hope
strongly for a certain outcome, we hope Nebraska students, es
pecially, behave themselves in a manner which will give Minne
sota student and fans a high opinion of this institution.
There will be reveling aplenty if the Huskers are victorious
n the same, to the tune of "drowning sorrows," if the Husk
ers lose. That reveling, we pray will not be obnoxious. Hun
dreds of automobiles will be on the highwavR all dav Friday and
Saturday. For safety's sake alone is this plea of temperance,
We're not at all taking an anti-repeal stand, but we surely
realize that there are many hazards and dangers that present
themselves if students and fans are careless and thoughtless.
Oar main plea is with the student body, or the part of
it that makes the trip. Minn eso tans are not the only per
sons whose opinions of us may be influenced. Those who
decide the fate and destiny of this university are probably
much more willing to favor us when we behave ourselves
than when a handful of us make this whole student body
appear unworthy of assistance.

FROM THE MAILS.
Dear Chris:
Pappy was readin' me a bit of
yer prittle prattle from your last
colume the other nite before teckin
me in, and I immediately begun
ta think what a good idea it ud be
for you an me to compare notes on
tha lives of our respictive students.
I have heared yor side alridy so I
will perceed to tell you a little
about the way we'uns go a schoolin
here on raxpax ridge. I will also
pass on to you some comments
about yer colume that have stunk
In my mind.
I will furst tell you all about
tha home life of the typical local
student, scholar, all round boy and
regulur flash with tha women
me. I'm nigh onta 28 years ol'
now, and will soon be permoted to
the alth grade if everthing works
out.
Grandpappy says we live on a
mountain range, but we ain't that
flashy. Ma does all the cook in' on a
log fire. The Po river runs down
thru the holler. I guess that's
what makes us po' people. Most
us men jest lay aroun and snore
approval whin tha womin do tha
work.
On our farm we have 4 kinds a
pigs. Black, white, black and
white, and brown. Can't figer the
brown one out. Our celery crop
aint so hot this year. It's all blood
shot Pappy calls it rhubarb. Our
1923 Ford is a fine car with good
body and excellent chaos. Iron was
discovered near here because some
feller smelt it. I also have a little
sister, Nellie. But she can't write
to you noaw because she are going
to git married next month and is
busy in the garret gettin her turso
ready. Im gittin married as soon
as man girl stops walkin on hern
hands and nees. She is the positive
symposium of pulchritudinous.
I got quite a gun. Whittled it
from old railroad spikes. I'm con
sidered ta be a dangerous man in
these here parts cause everone saiz
I got a "itchy trigger finger." I
don't know what ta do about it
besides scratch!
I must close noaw. I'm goin up
and shoot Lemonaeed Martin for
cheatin durin tha lection tha other
day by stuffin tha ballot box. I
knows he's guilty because I saw
him evertime I went in ta vote.

There shall be no consumption
of alcoholic liquors on public prop
erty. That's the law. And 40
plain clothesmen will be on hand
in the stadium during football
games to enforce that ruling, said
Sergeart Regler. campus law en
forcement officer.
These officers will be instructed
to be on the alert for pickpockets
as well as to confiscate all liquor.
Intoxicated persons causing undue
disturbance will be held in the
stadium jail.
Top speed allowed anywhere in
the city of Lincoln will be 25
miles per hour. Sergeant Regler
cautions afainst riding on the
running boards of ci. In such a
case, all occupants of the car, in
side and out, are guilty and are
subject to warning and arrest.
"If everyone obeys the stop sig
nals and uses common sense, we
will have no traffic trouble," said
Sergeant Regler.
No reserved parking.
Parking during football games
will be unreserved except for fac
ulty members. They will soon 1

New textbook presents fresh

Hitchhikers' holiday!
IJni hludenlH change license platen
When Joe Kirshenbaum, How
ard Barish and Edward Malashock
lifted their respective thumbs
eastward toward Omaha one night
last week, the last thing they ex
pected was the thing that did hap
pen. The ride came fast. The driver
was very friendly. Everything was
fine. And then it happened.
Somewhere between Lincoln and
Omaha, quite a distance from no
where, in a dark, secluded spot,
their benefactor stopped, asked
them to help him change his li
cense plates.
Barish, in the front seat, balked.
"What's the deal," he asked. "Hey,
did you steal this car?" And the
two in back shivered in a corner.
The stranger grinned slyly and
explained that he had borrowed
the car from his sweetheart in
Lincoln so he could drive to Oma
ha and see his woman there. He
changed the plates, he said, be
cause the Omaha woman knew the
license of the Lincoln lover's car.
It wasn't hard for him to con
vince the three boys that he wasn't
a car thief, but when the car
finally reached Omaha, the three
jumped out thinking if the' Oma
ha woman knew the license she
would surely be able to recognize
the car but why ask for trouble?
Shrub and lawns on the campus
of San Diego State college get
15,000 gallons of water daily.

(Pitt News Staff.)
Briefly, here's a story in half a
peanut shell!
All the energy the average per
son uses in his thinking during one
day could be obtained by eating
one peanut, says Dr. E. Alfred
Wolf, associate professor of bi
ology. The average college stu
dent, however, uses that much
energy in one hour's sustained
mental work.
The average college student
takes from 1,200 to 2.400 calories
a day for mere subsistence. Any
thing he does even eating-must
be added to this basal metabolism
figure.
The average football player, for
instance, needs enough energy to
Psychologists study effects
of diet on physical development
The new department of psychol
ogy will conduct experimental re
search on the effects of diets on
physical development. The depart
ment announced that altho plans
were not yet complete, research
in several branches of psychology
would be carried on by the staff
and graduate students. "
In one project, students are try
ing to determine the connection
between a deficiency of vitamin A
and color blindness. White rats
are used In these experiments.
They are first taught to distin
glriMh between colors. By -adding
or subtracting vitamins from the
diet of trained rats, it may Im
possible to determine the effect of
vitamin A upon color blindness.
Other research is concerned with
the correlation of mental and
physical traits. Large groups of
people were studied to determine
if certain physical and mental
traits develop together, such as
obesity and good hurnor.
The effect of the use of dom
inant Hmbs upon reaction time is
also being experimented on. At th
present time no research is being
conducted in the field of mental
telepathy.
raise six gallons of water from
freezing to boiling point, Dr. Wolf
added.
You could talk for two hours on
the eneigy you need to eat your
food every day. Maybe that's the
origin of the saying, "She'd rather
talk than eat."
Then, the student who plays
Bach on the piano adds only 40
calories to his basal metabolism;
if he plays one of Teddy Wilson's
inusical gyiations, his figure will
be upped to f60 calories, which is
the same number used when trot
ting down to the corner pool room.
Wrestling if by far the most
strenuous sport, says Dr. Wolf. It
would take 125 hours of thinking
to use up the same energy that
you must have for one hour's
wrestling.

these proteins will carry away the
