THE NEBRASKAN Wednesday, October 17, 1945 $jbuudsiJtdWiqM$pxJui (RsuuwoLovl Qampauu October 16, 1945 Dear Students: I am writing this in a plea to a student body to revive spirit, to get out and show your team that you want them to win. Preceding the Oklahoma game there were signs that the student spirit of the university was on its way back to a pre-war standard which hit its peak when our team played in the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately in our first games this year our team needed experience. We have played three games and have gained the valuable experience that is needed to win games, but the most important factor of all that Nebras ka needs is student, faculty and townspeople spirit. Show our team that we have faith in them and want them to win. I know that they can produce, but let's show them that we, as a student body, support them with that true spirit which has always been as characteristic of a Cornhusker. Sincerely Tom Noble (EDITOR'S NOTE: In connection with the very needed revival of Nebraska spirit of which Mr. Noble writes, there has already been organized a committee of organization heads on the campus who are meeting to night in the N club room in the coliseum to cook up some thing concrete to promoting spirit. The Iowa State, Mis souri, Kansas State, Iowa and Kansas games are yet to be played. The team has gained terrifically in experience, and if the student gain in spirit can keep up with the team, we're on our way!) Dutch Resistance Leader Speaks to AUF Workers Edmund Peter Wellenstein, lead er in the Dutch underground movement, will make his first public appearance in the United States today when he speaks to university students on behalf of the World Student Service Fund.

Bogen Returns as civilian; Speech Majors Shout for Joy BY MARTHELLA IIOLCOMB. Bogen's back and the speech majors shout for joyl Two and a half years in the army and those gold major's leaves plus a couple of bronze stars haven't dimmed the sparkle in his eyes. In March, 1942, Paul L. Bogen, then director of the university theater, was called to duty as a reserve officer.
