All New Clubs Should Report To Cornhusker Groups Formed Since '42 Yearbook's Publication Should Notify Annual Any organization or club formed since the publishing of the 1942 Cornhusker, and wishing to be included in the clubs and activities section of the 1943 yearbook, should notify either Ann Seacrest or Wayne Southwick, co-chairmen in charge of the clubs and ac tivities section.

Lease said. Fewer Trips. Differing from previous debate seasons in three ways this year's debate will feature less trips for individual competition and more conferences where many teams may compete together, one debate question agreed upon by several national forensic organizations and a season which will open and close earlier. The problem to be debated thru out the year will be, "Resolved: That the United Nations should es tablish a permanent federal union with powers to tax and regulate international commerce, to main- (e DEBATERS, Page 5) Group Prexys Meet To Plan Activity Mart Presidents of all women's or ganizations on the campus will meet this afternoon with the AWS board to discuss the coming AWS Mart.

There may have been games superior to this annual Oopher-llusker classic but one would have to dig deep into the records for a meeting equal to today's thrills, dramatic episodes, and downright "screwy" football. Evidently fed up with this talk of all de fense and no offense, Nebraska went sys tematically about the task of avenging the bright first-half (topher showing by keeping the ball in (iopher territory throughout the final two stanzas. Once again did Ilusker misplays undo Husker bright points. Gophers Score First. End Paul .Mitchell opened scoring fire for the Gophers when he blocked a Howard Debus punt on the Nebraska oG-yard stripe. Momen tum of Mitchell's dash knocked the ball the entire distance to the goal. His mates, Heiu and "Wildung blocked Debus as he dove for the ball and the leather rolled free for an auto matic safety. Score was 2-0, but not for long. Dig Vie Schleich kicked off to Minnesota on the fifty yard stripe. From there, two quick dashes by Dob Kula carried the ball to the 40-yard line. On the next play, Dick Lucke meyer found a huge opening at right tackle, out sped the Husker secondary, and crossed the double stripes untouched. Hob Sandberg held the ball for Hena Frickey's successful conversion, 9-0. Second half play started with another Gopher touchdown outburst. Evidently of the impression that touchdowns might be scarce, the Gopher offense rolled with full momentum. Minnesota fielded the Husker kickoff on their 36-yard stripe. A Silovitch-buckemeyer pass covered 12 yards up to the 48-yard stripe. Kula capped (See EARLY, Page 7) We Apologize . . . Because, Nebraska spirit is not dead. If it was rigor mortis Fri day morning;, it was .-incarnation-plus Friday night and all day Saturday. Because, we were wrong when we said it's possible that y. ' have to have a "winning team" to arouse any spirit in the student body. The student body was cheering yesterday afternoon, and we were never ahead. It was 2-0. then 9-0; the students cheered, it was 15-0; students cheered. It was 15-2; the student body CHEERED! Because, the football team doesn't have to be "down to the 3 yard line" to have the student body behind them. Nebraska's team was in Minnesota territory only four times during the afternoon, but the cheering was there all afternoon. Because, five fumbles on the part of the Huskers failed to drop the spirit we said had already died. Because, "simply and plainly" (as we said) it isn't that "we don't have any guts"; it took some kind of spirit to bring on Fri day night, and a lot more of it U hold out during yesterday after noon. Because those big Swedes headed north, tired. So, we apologize.

Proving to themselves more than to anybody tint there is spirit, and spark, in the student body, and that fun can be had at rallies, one of the noisiest and most spectacular rallies of the season was held prefacing yesterday's game. Much of rtie success of this spontaneous dis play of enthusiasm was due to the student body becoming infuriated at remarks included in IViday's Daily. Just how long this enthu siasm will remain is up to the students them selves. It was the job of the Daily to arouse the "almost dead spirit," and judging: from remarks about the campus Friday, and the en suing rally, the job was weil done. The student body has shown the necessary "guts" when challenged, but whether or not they have to be challenged every time a dis play of enthusiasm is needed, remains to be seen. Every student at the rally climbed down from the haughty ranks of "a student of higher learning." to turn "Joe College" once again to give the team moral support for the game. And they had fun at the rally, as was plainly exhibited. Even signs of a snake dance, the blaring of auto horns, and other noise makers, were reminiscent of the rallies of old. How many more times does the student body have to be sparked for a display of enthusi asm! Or will this short reprieve fail and ral lies on this campus go dead once again and Husker enthusiasm, diet paign useful articles were found in made before Thompson or univer sity omciais were cuniacieu. faternity scrap piles after owners had complained of such losses. Dean T. J. Thompson declared that he believed in the clean en thusiasm of "99 and 99100 per cent" of the student body and promised that if 1100 percent is found who may have stooped to such vandalism "they will be dealt with accordingly." Fraternity men as a whole are as resentful of such a thing as are the authorities, Thompson said. Thompson answered Hollo way's charges in a letter to the sheriff after the allegations were Deadline Set As Tuesday For KK Skits Deadline for skit entries for the annual Kosmet Klub fall revue is Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 5:20 p. m.

Information should be included concerning the title of the skit, general theme and any songs and dances that will be used. The skits should not exceed eight minutes. Thompson's letter follows in full: to Holloway Dear Sheriff Holloway: Innocents Indignant. . Yesterday afternoon I was un able to find the time to get in touch with the Innocents society which sponsored the recent scrap drive. This society is composed of carefully selected members of our senior class. Today, however, I was able to talk to the president and other members of the group, and I found that they had already had an indignation meeting con cerning the smearing that their drive had had due to the miscal culated enthusiasm of someone. Personally, I wish you to know that I think our "kids" at the uni versity did a magnificent thing in putting on so splendid a drive for scrap. I regret very much that we were not fully advised of the recent allegations concerning the matter before it was given publi city. Your visit at 2:30 yesterday to my office was the first intima tion that I had that anything had gone wrong. By that time, of course, the newspapers had the story. Come Through in a Pinch.
