Rally Sendoff Biggesl
Ever Planned-Pesek
The Nebraska football team
must be sent off to South Bond
Thursday by the most enthusias
tic rally in Cornhusker annals.
That is the belief of Yell King
Martin Pesek. Certainly resek,
the cheerleaders, the Com Cobs
nd the Tassels will turn out in
full force to give the Huskers a
big sendoff. And if as Tew as one
tenth of the students enrolled at
this institution turn out. the suc
cess of the rally will be assured.
Slogan
"Erase the Irish' is the slogan

asks that students turn out to
send a winning team to dump the
powerful Notre Dame team.
Thursday night's rally will be
gin with the tolling victory bell
as it makes the round of the
campus about 6:30 p.m. At 6:45
p. m. the Victory Bell will return
to the Union steps to summon
students for the rally. The pep
band will be on deck to spark
the rally. Guest speakers are still
unannounced but Pesek has
promised top-flight inspirational
speakers.
5:45 Is the Time.
The rally will start, promptly,
St 6:45, while the Bell, yell squad,
Cobs and Tassels lead the ralliers
down to the C. B. & Q. station
for the cheers, yells and songs.
"Let's get out of our easy chairs
nd quit depending on the other
guy to do the cheering," Pesek
said in a statement to the student
body Monday. "It's time to get
out there and give the boys a real
sendoff. Win or lose the boys will
be out there on the field giving
their all. It's just about time we
showed a little bit of that legen
dary Cornhusker spirit."

Ag Classes Start
10 Minutes Ahead
Classes on Ag campus have
been set up ten minutes as of
Monday, Oct. 13. Dean Burr an
nounced the decision of the student-faculty
board on Friday.
As a result, classes will now
start at twenty minutes after the
hour instead of on the half hour.
The move was made to relieve
the congested situation at the
cafeteria, caused by the large
numDer or students to be served
after the last morning class.
The new time will also allow
a fifty minute noon period in
place of the short forty minute
period provided by the earlier
plan. Students who have after
noon classes on the city campus
will have more time to arrive at
their classes on schedule.

Students Show Ignorance
On Citizenship Queries
BY SAM WARREN.
American college students are
about half as versed in the work
ings of their federal government
as their foreirn cousins w.vincr
naturalized citizenship, if a poll
conducted by The Daily Nebras
kan is any indication.
Four Questions were chosen
from a list of 117 questions drawn
up lor aliens to know n prepar
ing for naturalization examina
tions. Approximately half of the
80 students asked would not be
granted citizenship if they were
anens on me oasis or this minia
ture exam.
The questions and the expected
answers were:
1. What is the Bill of Right?
(First ten amendment to the
Constitution.)
2. How many electors has Ne
braska in the Electoral College.
(Six, equal to the number of
senators and representatives.)
3. When do the regular sessions
of congress convene? (Third
Tuesday in January of every even
numbered year.)
4. How is a treaty with a for
eign country made? (By the
President with the approval of
the senate.)
Although more students an
swered the Eill of Rights question
correctlv than anv of the other
questions, still many had a shaky
notion. ne main major auno
uted it to the Preamble to the
Constitution, tacking it onto the
wrong end of that document. An
English major encountered in An-

Most Missed.
With talk in the last congres
sional session of revising the sys
tem of electing the President by
the electoral college a system
which conceivably could put in
office a candidate other than the
one chosen by popular vote the
second question served a dual
purpose. First of all, it would
show if students knew what the
abstract "college" was. (One jun
ior remarked, "You mean that
college back east somewhere?")
Second, it would show if they
knew how many representatives
the state had, since the number
of electors equals the toUl of rep
resetTtatives and two senators, six
in Nebraska's case. Missed more
than any other question, it drew
answers 0 12 (from a psychol
