With expectations of school spirit reaching a high peak

Corn Cobs will go all out to make the rally a huge success.
Tassels, Cobs, and members of the pep band will start
down fraternity row at 6:15 to assemble the student body
which will form in front of the Union at 6:30. Then en
masse the students will parade to the Burlington depot
where they will be led in cheers, sing pep songs, and hear
Bcrnie Masterson, football coach, make his opening speech
of the season.
Show your loyalty and enthusiasm for the Huskers by
attending the "Go fer the Gophers" Rally!

This is a plea, desperate and ex

their names in "Ragged Edges."
They, too, would like to be voted
an eligible bachelor, a best
dressed man on campus. Oh, the
doom to be a mere schrdlu,
gawky and angular.
One might ask why these limpid
forms are not draped in the best
of Joe College styles. Why not,
indeed? A quick perusal of cloth

doubtedly reveals the quantity of

What can the long-and-thin do?
Suits in his size are absolutely
unobtainable. Sport coats reach
slightly below his waist, while
their sleeves may hit his elbow
Pants, if right around the waist,
may hang to his knees, while if
long enough, could easily envelope

with this type of build can look
the well-dressed boy who makes
it to town perhaps once every
three weeks.

Martin Pesek
Chosen New
Cheerleader
Completing the university's in
creased yell squad, Martin Pesek,
was chosen from competitors as
cheerleader Tuesday night by four
judges appointed by the. student
council.
Totaling eight now, the new
squad includes Hink and Betty
Aasen, Jackie Scott, Doris East
erbrook, Art Beindorff, Norm Le
ger, Jerry Wilson and Ray Bie
mond. Because of the lack of men at
the first, the tryouts, held in the
Union ballroom, were the student
council's second trial to obtain
four male cheerleaders.

ently clothing manufacturers have
decided that no men reaching six
feet two and weighing 140 pounds
exist.
Therefore, this unfortunate in

UN campus in his weird-looking
apparel, should not be laughed at,
but pitied. His plight is not his
own.
And that's why my only suit is
