Students Welcome Football Players
With Rousing Show of Husker Spirit
Recent charges that Nebraska
spirit is dead were howled down
by several hundred noisy Corn
huskers who took over the Bur
lington station Monday morning to
welcome the Husker football squad
home from Notre Dame.
Early birds began to arrive for
the "Meet the Team" rally as
early as 8:45. By 9:15, when the
train was due, the waiting room
was filled by a milling throng.
As the Husker special pulled in

Chancellor Absent.
One casualty of the morning
was Chancellor R. G. Gustavson,
who had intended to greet Mas
terson and the team personally.
The chancellor's car, on the way
to the station, was involved in an
accident on R street. The chan
cellor escaped injury but ex
pressed regret that the mishap
had kept him from the celebra
tion. cheers were rocking the station.
Rally yells, led by the yell squad,
had Lincolnites leaning out of of
fice windows to see what was go
ing on.
Sustained Roar.
A sustained roar greeted Gene
Wilkins, first man off the trarn,
with no letup as Coach Bernie
Masterson, Tom Novak and the
ers tof the Huskers followed thru
the crowd. The players were led
to waiting convertibles where an
other ovation went up for their
spirited an ddeserving showing
against the Irish.
Masterson told the rally throng
that "sportswriters said Notre
Dame played their best of the
season and Nebraska was the
toughest team they've faced this
year " He pointed out that, while
Army gained 110 yards on the
ground in last year's Army-Notre
Dame game, Nebraska made 203
yards rushing Saturday.
When Masterson finished, a
chant went up for Game Captain
Tom Novak. Novak responded
with a remark that brought un
derstanding laughs. "Notre Dame,
he told the crowd, "was just ps

Early Sale
Of Migration
Tickets Slow
Though few purchases of mi
gration tickets have yet been re
corded by Dean Harper's office,
sales are expected to pick up this
week and reach a climax next
week.
This year's student migration
will take Husker fans to Colum
bia, where the Scarlet and Cream
will tangle with the Missouri Ti
gers in a game which could have
much bearing on the outcome of
the Big Six supremacy race.
Cost of the ticket is $20, of
which $17.25 is for the railroad
fare and $2.75 for admission to
the game. A lunch costing 75 cents
will be served at 11 a.m., Satur
day, the day of the game, to give
students plenty of time to reach
the Missouri stadium for the con
test. The train will leave Lincoln at
10 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31, and
should take about 11 hours to
reach Columbia. The train will
leave Columbia Saturday evening
at 11 p.m.
The university has urged stu
dents to. go to Missouri via the
scheduled train ride, as the fatigue
of the 375 mile drive will tire
those who go in cars. Then, too,
there is always the chance of an
auto accident which may prove
costly to both lives and property.

Union Committee Worker

In order to recruit Union com
mittee workers, the Union activi
ties committee of the Student
Union board will set up a booth
in the Union on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
The Union activities committee
has been completely re-organized

plan which will be put into opera
tion within the next two or three
weeks, each student board mem
ber will have charge of one or
two committees connected with
Union work.
Selection Basis.
Working with the board mem
ber will be chairmen and com
mittee members. In the spring,
new board members will be se
lected from committee workers on
the basis of ability, enthusiasm
and total amount of work. Com

to all Union-sponsored functions
free of charge.
All students interested in Union
committee work may sign at the
booth in the Union. A list of com
mittees, their board members and
their functions will be posted at
the booth. Students may indicate
their first, second and third

Delays
Leslie Boslaugh. assistant at-
torney general, in an opinion
given late Saturday, told Stale
Treasurer Gillette that a 1.1 mill
levy authorized at the last session
of the legislature was a special
levy. The appropriation bill
passed for this biennium does not
cover it, he said, and the money
cannot be spent without further
legislative action.
Stipulations.
Unless a special session is called
or the supreme court overrules
this opinion, the funds cannot be
spent until the legislature meets
again in 1949 in regular session
and specifically appropriates it.
"A special session nay be the
only answer," Dr. Gustavson said
today, but he emphasized that the
regents will study legal aspects
of the situation thoroughly. After
the study is completed, Dr. Gus
tavson expects to discuss the mat
ter with Governor Peterson.
"The action by the attorney
general's office came as a great
shock to us," the chancellor ad
mitted. The university had been
hoping to go ahead with projects,
including a new electrical engi
neering building, meat labora
tories and greenhouses, he said.
The electrical engineering build
ing had already been turned over
to the architects, he disclosed.
"We had been hoping to get go
ing on the building right away,"
he explained.
"Severe Blow."
The chancellor described the
development as a severe blow to
the desires of the legislature, the
people and the university. It has
fallen at a time when the uni
versity's building program is in a
very critical stage, he said.
The board of control and the
university were principal bene
factors from the levy. Some
money would go, in addition, to
the state normal schools and to
the national guard. The money
was earmarked for repairing, re
modeling and erecting buildings.
