Who's
Ycr
Hoosier?
Before Nebraska can play the
Indiana Hoosiers Saturday, some
body must answer the question,
"Who's Yer Hoosier?"
All campus geniuses can prove
their worth by answering this
question at the Indiana game
rally, being held on the lot east
of the Union, Thursday at 7 p. m.
"Every organized house will bring
their ideas on "Who's Yer Hoo
sier?" to this rally for judging,"
said Art Biendorf yell king.
A trophy will be awarded to
the house with the most original

a manner making possible the
highest number of activity men
and preventing any individual
from overburdening himself.
The meeting was called by Bill
Thornberg, president of Innocents
who is traditional chairman of
the group. According to the con
stitution, the board consists of the
president of Innocents, Thornberg;
the president of the Student
Council, Bob Coonley; the presi
dent of Corn Cobs, Don Kline; the
president of interfraternity coun
cil, Dick Folda; the president of
Kosmet Klub, John Dale; the
senior member of Ag Executive
Board, Bob Osier; the business
manager of the Daily Nebraskan,
Jim Van Landingham; a repre
sentative of the . Barb union or a
similar unaffilated group and two
faculty advisors.

cluster of students that I thought
