. . . Tonight In Stadium
With a red hot rally serving as
the fuse, UN students and alumni
hope to set the spark tonight to
the firecracker that will shoot the
Husker football team to victory
over Indiana tomorrow in the 1942
homecoming' game.
The rally tonight will begin
sharply at 7:30 in front of the
Student Union. It is hoped that
thousands of UN rooters will be
attracted to the victory bell and
band that will be beating it out
in front of the Union. The cheer
leaders again will lead the pro
cession and yells.
Game Captain Al Zikmund,
Quarterback Fred Metheny and
Tackle Bob McNutt will express
the sentiments of the team at the
stadium tonight. Ellsworth Du-

To Help Move
Scrap Metal
Frals, Soldiers Remove
Scrap Collected in Drive
Jeeps and army trucks will sup
plement vehicles of the Lincoln
transportation company Saturday
mornin? as air base soldiers join
the effort to move scrap metal col
lected by organized houses in ine
Homecoming scrap contest.
Feeling the need for more facili
ties to transport the scrap to
places where it will be sold, city
officials appealed to the army
and got results. Instead of the for
mer plan to move the metal on
Monday, a system for clearing the
lawns of sororities and fraternities
will be organized and work begun
on Saturday morning.
Men Help Load.
Fraternity men are asked to
turn out Saturday to help the sol
diers load trucks. Since all army
hf-ln ii on i voluntary basis it is
hoped that students will contribute
their time to the effort.
According to Walter White, city
salvage official, the university ei
rt yesterday was "overwhelm
ine" and should reach further
heights tonight.
Scrap will be Judged on a quality
basis, with every ton or Mgn quai
itv scran counting the same as
two tons of low quality metal. Dan j

Steel company will judge the scrap
with a committee from innocents
Society who will judge banners.

Band day, pep day, scrap day, game day
and Homecoming day, tomorrow's events will
reach their climax in the annual homecoming
dance at the coliseum, which will highlight
presentation of this year's pep queen and the
music of Johnny Cox and his orchestra.
Beginning at 9 p.m., the dance will last
until midnight.
Advance ticket sales point to a large and
enthusiastic crowd for the first big all-university
dance of the year. Interest in the pep
aueen race is especially high as sorority girls
are busy inaugurating new ideas to get votes
for their candidates.
Janet Hemphill, queen of 1941, will re
linquish her crown to one of nine entries.
Betty Bonebright, Jean Browne, Flora Heck,
Helen Johnson, Peggy Lemon, Connie Me
Cauley, Natalie Newman, Polly Petty and
Barbara True are candidates for .the crown.
Voting will take place at the door.
Innocents society will present the winning
scrap cups to the sorority and fraternity plac
ing first in this year's drive. A novel pres
entation and several other surprises are in
store for the dance-goers.
Johnny Cox is well known around this
territory and has played for university dances

Dear Sir: . ... ..
You are notified that this office hereby withdraws its
previous request for the aid of the University of Nebraska
in securing students for work on war construction projects

in the recruitment of labor, and prohibit the District and
Area Offices of the United States Engineer Department from
having any part whatsoever in employing, or attempting to
employ, school students for war construction. These instruc
tions were retroactive and this office was directed to imme
diately cancel any arrangements in effect with school au
thorities for the employment of students.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the
splendid co-operation extended this office by you and other
University of" Nebraska Officials in response to our previous
appeal for aid in obtaining labor.
Yours very truly,
