Students agree coed cheer
leader would pep up pep
By Jo Duree.
With the call out for all mas
culine would-be cheer leaders to
take a crack at the openings in
the cheer-rousing ranks, the reg
ular autumn query of "Why don't
we have a girl cheer leader?" is
heard and several souls have aux
iliary opinions:
Wayne Farber: "They're talk
all the time; why not give them a
chance to holler?"
Bob Kerl: "Girl cheer leaders in
abbreviated costumes would be
wonderful. ... I prefer drum
majorettes but why doesn't UN
have both?"
Marg Krause: "I've thought it
a wonderful idea for years ... a
really cute entertainer would lend
a lot of color."
Alex Mills: "Wouldn't be a bad
Idea if they'd get a good one."
Bill Flory and Jim Evinger:
'It'd be a swell idea . . . more
guys would attend football games
and the effect on the opposing
teams might be phenomenal. . . ."
Jim Hall: "Swell; it's worked in
other schools. ..."
Merlin Jam: "It's a wonderful
idea . . . why not have one with
grass skirts?"
Clark Rice: "Fine idea if you

picked the right kind of girl."
Jean Carnahan: "Nebraska
cheers have been uninspired for
years; maybe a girl could pep
things up a bit.''
Yvonne Costello: "A grand idea
but only if the girl could do it as
well or better than the boy cheer
leaders."
Gayle' Neiswanger: "One that
does flip-flops would be swell!"
Jim Kirkendall: "Good idea. It
would stimulate interest."
Sylvia Katzman: "Wonderful
attraction ... a cute girl with a
cute costume."
Lowell Michael: "The Kansas
majorettes were a definite addi

Telis libyca'
Daily mascot
Wednesday afternoon, into the
midst of confusion and smoke and
labor, walked an infant member
of a carnivorous quadruped family
(felis libyca romestica). This off
spring is descended from a long
line of felis libyca domestica which
has long been kept by man in a
domestic state for chasing rats
and mice.
From all available evidence from
which this infinitesimal creature
springs is thought to have origi
nated in Egypt of the orient, and
is probably derived from one of
a certain species of northern
Africa.
Cats and more cat
Most breeds of the felis libyca
domestica, such as the tortis-shtll,
the tabby, or the maltese, differ
from each other only in color. A
certain branch of this family the
Manx is nearly tailless.
This narticular member which
wandered into confusion and smoke
and labor yesterday is of a rather
dirty grey color, marked with a
sort of a dirty shade of white. But
he (or she... we don't know for
certain) is a genuine felis libyca
domestica.
In other words, The DAILY NE
BRASKAN had a kitten for it pet
and Mascot! for one day.

at Hobart and William Smith.
Laneuaee deDartments report
sudden decreases in enrollment in
German, French and Italian, with
increases in Spanish, Greek and
Latin.
Both faculty members and stu
dents were hard put to interpret
the phenomenal increase in Greek
and Latin enrollments.
Adding to the mystery is the
fact that while girls have hereto
fore made up at least half of the
Latin classes, there are almost
none in this year's classes. The
greater decrease in popularity of
Italian as against French and Ger
man was explained as r represent
ation of continued respect for the
French culture and a still high de
mand for German in the scientific
field.

How Minnesota
gets big players
is. quite a story
How Minnesota eets those bifif.
beefy football players is revealed
in a story going the round of the
campus this week. The tale goes
something like this:
Coach Bierman and assistants
drive around the Paul Bunyan
country looking for prospects.
Whenever they see a strong
young farmhand plowing a field
they stop and ask him the way
to Minneapolis.
If he points his finger they
drive on . . .
But if he picks up his plow and
points with that, they put him on
the Gopher team.

future Fames call for it. Vacancies
occur when a saleswoman is ab
sent without cause or without noti
fying the persons in charge and
for other reasons in tne w. a. a.
regulations.
Girls who are appointed to sell
will be admitted to the games
without charge and any girls who
have not yet applied are urged to
do so at once by calling at the
W. A. A. office or by contacting
Mary Rosborough or Betty New
man. Division will give courses
in language, sociology
Because of student demand,
courses other than those listed in
the bulletin will be offered by the
extension division. Included are
German 13 and 13a, Spanish S3

"Registration up to this point
has been very satisfactory," said
Dr. A. A. Reed, director ol ex
tension. Enrollment in all courses
will close on Oct. 12. Students
may register at 202, former mu
