YW Leaders
Reveal Plans
At Meeting
A rendezvous for all upperclass
women interested in participating
in YWCA work will be held at
five o'clock Thursday in Ellen
Smith Hall. At this time study
group leaders will present their
programs and coeds will sign up
for the group in which they are
interested.
Among the groups planned for
this year are comparative religion,
advance social service, personal
relations, and inter-American af
fairs. Most of these groups will
meet once a week. Student lead
ers are Suzanne Pope, Barbara
Stahl, Jan Engle, Mary. Lou Holtz,
Midge Holtzscherer, Mary Alden,
Hazel Steam, Ghita Hill, Jessie
Tyler, Myrtle Johnson, LaVerne
Klein, Marcia McKee, and Gerry
McKinsey.
Plan Girl Reserve Club.
A Girl Reserve club leadership
training course is also being or
ganized. Its purpose is to help
those who will be teaching or
working in communities to ac
quire a practical understanding of
teen-age youth and to learn
games, songs, and crafts which
they may teach to clubs of teen
age girls.
A committee made up of Mrs.
Leo Black and Mrs. Carolyn Wal
lin, adult advisors, Mrs. Eleanor
Carter, Girl Reserve secretary of
the Lincoln YWCA, Mary Alden,
Hazel Steam, and Gerry McKin
sey are planning the course.

sponsible for it. If the advisori
suggested the change or an error

Council Meets
To Clarify UN
Political Stand
Making one more attempt to
clarify the university political sit
uation, members of the Student
Council will meet for their first
fall session today at 5 p. m. in
room 315 of the Union.
Political unrest, which has been
smouldering since the spring elec
tions, was brought into full flame
in May when the 1943-44 Council
voted to abolish recognition of
Barb, Union and Independent
parties after Dorothy Carnahan
presented a plan for open pri
maries which was suggested by
the Panhellenic council of presi
dents.
Members Dissatisfied.
Following the meeting several
members announced dissatisfac
tion with the supposedly-clarified
political stand taken by the Coun
cil. If such an attitude still e-
ists, it is probable that this after
noon's session will be long and
stormy.
Harold Andersen, Council presi
dent, said Tuesday, "The subject
of primary elections will be the
key-note of the discussion.
WAA Entertain
Entering Coeds
Thursday Nite
Thursday night at 7:15 the
Women's Athletic association will
entertain all freshmen women at
an informal get-together in Grant
Memorial hall. The party will
tend to acquaint the freshmen
with the activities of this organi
zation.
Games and entertainment will
be provided under the direction
of Mary Jo Gish and Fern Free
man. Midge Holtzscherer will be
in charge of the demonstration of
W. A. A. activities.
Frances "Mickey" McPherrson,
secretary of the W. A. A., empha
sizes the fact that the party is to
be very informal. Girls will be
comfortable in slacks, levis, or
skirts and sweaters.
At the end of the evening re-
rresnments will be served by a
committee under Midge Holtz
scherer. The affair will be over
in time for the girls to be in the
residence halls by 9 o clok.
As all girls are eligible for
membership to W. A. A., every
frpshman is iipoort tn aftonrl ihia
annual party.
Tassels Sell
Cornhuskers
By New Plan
In accordance with an entirely
new plan of business manage
ment, Tassel3 have ben given ex
elusive salesmanship rights to the
Cornhusker this year. This is the
first time that any particular or
ganization has been given such a
job, free from other competition
The Tassel campaign started
Sept. 25th, and will continue thru
Nov. 9th. The Tassel organization
as a whole will get a commission
on every book over 500 sold. Each
Tassel who sells ten books will
be given an invitatin to the Corn
husker dinner, which will be held
in May, 1945. Any Tassel selling
35 or more books will als receive
a free Cornhusker.
November Deadline.
It is hoped that all orders for
the Cornhuskers can be in before
the 9th of November so that
editor Myra Colberg, and busi
ness manager, Charlotte Hill, will
be able to estimate accurately the
number of covers to be bought.
Due to wart time conditions, these
covers must be ordered early in
order to assure an adequate
amount.
Students are urged to contact
any Tassel and place their Corn
husker ord before Nov. 9th.
War
More
Council Asks
Participation
By Male Students
War Council members urged Tuesday in their first
meeting of the year that more men be brought into the
organization. Before the next meeting, all organized
men's houses will be contacted in an effort to secure more
representatives.
Fred Teller declared that since War Council promises
to be one of the most active groups on the campus this year,
it would be advisable to have two or three representatives
from each of the fraaternities and men's Co-op's, instead
of the customary one, to make up for the man shortage.
Greek Women Seize Gridiron,
Men Cry For Mercy, Justice
With a record of three injuries,
two victories (both debatable).
and a a full schedule, the sorori
ties set out to -prove their supe
riority in the last great sports
field left, until now, to the male
football.
The first of the epic struggles
was the game between the Sig
Eps and the Kappas, played on
the sorority's home field. With an
audience wildly cheering their
teams on, and colors flashing in
the sun, the two teams tangled in
touch-tacklle football. No exact
score was available, but a Kappa
fan asserts that it was a draw.
Dixon Receives Injuries.
Ruth Korb, coach of the chal
lenging Kappa team, used her star
player, Mighty Mite Mary Jean
Fisher, thruout the game. The
afternoon was a quarterback
struggle, with Sig Ep Gene Dixon
injured when he landed in the
driveway, having been tossed
there by a violent Kappa charge
around left end.
In another thriller, played on
the Delta Gamma terrace, the Phi
Delts were whipper 17-0. That
score is a scoop from the DG
house. Another scoop from the
Phi Delts reveals the score to be
6-0 in favor of the men.
Whatever the score, rough play
ing was evidant as Betty Simo-
dynes and Helen Schroeder were
not seen at their 8 o'clotks on
Tuesday. The reason advanced
by the Delta Gammas was that
John Van Horn, Delt, somehow
worked himself into the fracas,
The DG s demand a return en
gagement with only genuine 14
carat Phi Delts on the team. All
22 of the girls will meet the 12
man team any day the Phi Delts
wish to select.
Alpha Chis Join Spirit.
An interview with the Alpha
Chis revealed that they, too, have
joined in the football spirit and
are scheduled for games with Sig
ma Chis, Betas, Phi Delts and
ATOs. They refuse to mention
names of their star players, but it
is rumored that their quarterback
has had offers from several other
universities.
Thursday night the Pi Phis will
meet the Phi Delts in a game to
be played on the Pi Phi home
field.
Directory Staff
Finds Omission
In First Lists
Every student must personally
add his telephone number to lists
for the 1944-45 student directory
before Saturday night if he
wishes to have his number in the
directory. This announcement
was made Tuesday evening by the
editorial staff of the publication
upon discovering that no tele
phone numbers appear on the
lists.
Due to an error made in the
printing of the blue directory
cards which each student filled
out during registration, the cards
did not ask for students tele
phone numbers. The staff has no
means of gathering these numbers
so it will be necessary for every
one to find his name on the lists
and fill in the blank space.
The first list, containing names
from A thru D were distributed
to the Union check stand, in Sosh,
and in the home economics build
ing at ag on Tuesday. The sheets
with E thru H will be available
today; ;I thru M, Thursday; N
thru R, Friday; and S to Z, on
Saturday.
Students will be able to check
for corrections on names, ad
dresses, telephone numbers and
affiliations. One member from
each organized house is asked to
85 Air Corps
Reserves Start
Classes at UN
Classes for eighty-five air corps
reservists began Sept. 1 on the
university campus, according to
Col. J. P. Murphy, commandant
of the university military units.
Training in this course is similar
to that of the AST reserves, with
special emphasis placed upon
physics, mathematics, chemistry
and rigorous physical training.
Increments of from 50 to 75
are expected at the beginning
of each month until the 275-man
quota is reached. Students begin
this course at the age of 17 years,
three months and remain until
they have completed approxi
mately five terms or till they
reach 18 years, six months. After
this training, they will be sent
to classification centers.
Eleven AST reserves have ap
plied for transfer to the air corps
unit and will begin classes the
next term.
"Appropriate college credits
will be given to students com
pleting the five term course,
which will place them, in most
cases, with a sophomore stand
ing in an accredited university,"
stated Col. Murphy.

Interfrat Couneil
Schedules Dinner
Tonight in Union
The Ihterfraternity Council din
ner, sponsored by the fraternity
advisers council, will be held in
Parlors X and Y at the Student
Union tonight at 6:30 p. m.
Members of the Interfraternity
Board of Control, Dean Thomp
son, Assistant Dean Harper, and
one officer from each active chap
ter, preferably the president, is
invited. Chancellor Boucher was
also invited, but will be unable
to attend.
The purpose of the dinner is to
gain a better understanding be
tween the fraternity advisers
council and the active chapters,
and to discuss the functions of the
board of control.
In the discussion following
Teller's suggestion, the concensus
of opinion was that the men stu
dents should be given a more de
finite part in such an important
organization, and an appeal is be
ing made for their co-operation.
All men's houses will be called
this week in regard to this mat
ter. Forty-Five Attend.
Forty-five students, represent
ing all the sororities and frater
nities. BABW, WAA, AUF, AWS,
YWCA, the Nebraskan, the Corn
husker, and Towne Club, were
present at the meeting.
According to the constitution,
the vice president automatically
becomes president in case of per
manent withdrawal of the acting
president. When Roberta Burgess,
former president, resigned her
position and transfered to Michi
gan law school, Ghita Hill as
sumed the title and responsibili
ties of president. She presided
over the meeting, with Marilyn
Behm acting as temporary vice
president until the formal election

New Nutrition
Building Goes
Partly Civilian
For the first time since its com
pletion in March, 1943, one floor
of the Foods and Nutrition build
ing on ag campus will be occu
pied by civilian personnel.
The STAR unit formerly used
the building as a barracks. After
being re-decorated in soft tones of
rose and green, the third floor of
the structure will become head
quarters for Dr. Ruth Leverton,
head of the research group and
staff. However, in all probability,
equipment will be unobtainable
for the rest of the building and it
will remain unoccupied for the
first semester.
Miss Doretta Schlaphoff has
been appointed research assistant
to Dr. Leverton. She is a gradu
ate of the Universitw of Nebraska
and received her master's from
Michigan State College. Miss
