Laase Issues
Initial Call
For Debaters
Program Gets Underway
Early with Discussion
Of Question, Try-outs
Starting the program earlier
than usual, Professor Leroy T.
Laase issued a call for all inter
ested and eligible intercollegiate
debaters to meet Tuesday night
at 8 p. m. in Temple 205.
Purpose of the meeting is three
fold. The schedule and program
contemplated for the year will be
discussed. Laase will announce the
specific statements of the propo
sition for debate and release to as
pirants for the team the explana
tion of the question provided by
the National Association of Teach
ers of Speech. He will also an
nounce the procedure to be used in
the selection of squad members for
trips.
Government regulation of labor
unions will be the first topic de
bated this semester. Says Laase:
"In view of the numerous strikes
in defense industries, this subject
promises to be both timely and in
teresting." Speaking about the year's
schedule, the new debate coach
points out that the national Del
ta Sigma Rho college forensic
tournament, one which Nebraska
usually enters, will not be held
this year. International debates
with British students, will, of
course, have to be discontinued.
Invitations to a number of large
tournaments, have, however, been
received. It is from this number
that the year's big trips will prob
ably be chosen. These are the tour
neys: Student Legislative assem
bly at Topeka, Kas, Rocky Moun
tain Speech conference at Denver;
Western Conference Discussion
and Debate convention at Iowa
City; and the Missouri Valley
Forensic league at the University
of Arkansas in Payette.
Eligibiliity requirements for in
tercollegiate debate are the same
as those for any other intercol
legiate activity. Coach Laase an
nounces that a call for freshmen
debaters will be issued later.

the first social organization on the

at Nebraska.
"Earfy debating societies. Pji?la

were always separated in chapel

rOamniper Attack
By Bob Miller.
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Oct. 18. An injury-studded Nebraska
football team met something more devastating than any injury here
Saturday when the Husker gridders had their hopes of high national
standing smacked down by an angered Indiana eleven, 21-13.
Plainly on the rebound after three successive defeats at the
hands of three teams of high football calibre, the Hoosiers swept to
one touchdown on the ground and then in quick succession hit the air
lanes in the third quarter to score two more.
Zik Scores.
Nebraska crossed the white stripes first when a reverse-cutback
with Al Zikmund in the driver's seat was good for 36 yards and siic
points. It was as welcome to the Husker fans as the rain in July to
Nebraska farmers.
The first period had almost elapsed and the ball was kept con
stantly in motion on either end
of the field with neither team
controlling it for a very long time.
The Hoosiers were on their own
26 and Charles Jacoby faded back
to pass, which he completed di
rectly into the fingers of Zikmund
who fell forward to the 36. A pass
Bradley to Athey was incomplete
and then Zikmund took the ball
the university. "We lacked a great
deal of ornamentation in our place
of meeting, on of the upper rooms
of old University hall," he said.
Changing the subject to women,
Mr. Brainard explained that "girls
didn't debate, but spoke pieces,
wrote essays, or gave musical
selections." As to what the women
wore, he couldn't say exactly, ex
cept that "their dresses came
down almost to the floor and they
couldn't carry an entire costume
in a vanity case.
Palladian Banquet Last Night.
Reminiscences, pictures and
greetings formed the main part
of the program for the Palladian
banquet last night celebrating the
society's 70 years on the campus.
Judge C. M. Skiles, early Ne
braska football player, introduced
to the 120 present two musical
selections and three speakers, Mrs.
J. S. Hyatt, Bert Anderson and
Miss Florence Stevenson.
a football containing
the new
queen's name to R. Donald Steele,
head of the men's pep group, who
read Miss Hemphill's name.
Balloting was at the door, and
960 votes were cast. Jay Mc
Shann's "Rythm" band played for
the party and had students danc
ing wildly to several of his "ex
tra hot numbers."
Other candidates for Pep Queen
were Virginia Ford, Kappa Kappa
Gamma; Mary Helen Farrar, Kap
pa Alpha Theta; Barbara Jones,
Alpha Phi; and Betty Klingle, Al
pha Xi Delta.
It fcs the intention of Corn
Cob-TasaA sponsors of the affair
to obtain a band whose door price

crowd proves their success. The
dance was a "fun party;'' aided

the conversion attempt.
Things from that point on re
solved into another first period
that is up until 11 minutes had
passed. Lou Saban intercepted a
pass for Indiana on his own 48.
