Griswold to Address
i
First Convocation
...
D wight Griswold, former gover
nor of Nebraska and recent chief
of the American aid mission to
Greece, will address the opening
all-university convocation in the
Union ballroom at 11 a.m. Tues
day. Griswold, who graduated from
the University in the class of 1914,
will give a first-hand report on
Greece. He will be introduced by
Dr. Carl W. Borgmann, dean of
the faculties.
Stabilized Government.
One of the first problems Gris
wold faced in Greece was stabiliz
ing the Greek government. He
played a major role in the diffi
cult task of inducing the Liberal
and Populist parties of Greece to
form a coalition cabinet.
Griswold directed the entire
AM AG program, a 350 million
dollar effort. Some of the AMAG's
accomplishments included
strengthening the Greek national
army, blocking a spiral of infla
tion which threatened to destroy
the Greek currency system, recon
structing roads and clearing ports.
Ancient Canal Opened.
It also reopened the Corinth
Canal, and helped the Greek Gov

Notice to
Premed Students
All premedical students who
apply for entrance to a medi
cal college in September, 1949,
must have taken a medical col
lege admission test (commonly
called aptitude test). During
this school year, such tests will
only be given October 30. 1948,
and February 7, 1949. Students
are urged to take the first of
these tests since many medical
colleges are making an early
selection of students for the
class entering in 1949.
Applications to take the
October 30 test must be sent
by the students to the Educa
tional Testing Service, P. O.
Box 592, Princeton,. N. J., be
fore Oct. 16, 1948. Since stu
dents may not register for the
test after this date, it is vrgeni
that they Immediately see the
premedical adviser, 306 Be&sey
hall and obtain the necessary
forms and information.

On Student Parlay Players

the last two weeks have been
heavily distributed on the cam

affairs, has revealed that he has
already halted the flow of par
lays to the campus from two
sources.

Wreetr'Husllieirs
BY HAROLD ABRAMSON.
Minnesota's height proved too much for a stubby Nebraska
backfield as the Gophers took advantage of a weak Husker pass
defense to beat the Scarlet and Cream 39-13 in Minneapolis Satur
day. Both Fischers, Ken and Cletus, suffered injuries.
Jean Blaha
Chosen '48
"Hello GirF
Jean Blaha, Ord junior, was
presented as the 1948 "Hello Girl"
Friday night at the annual BABW
Hello dance. Miss Blaha is in
Teachers college; she is a rstmber
of Tassels and a dorm counselor
at the Women's "Residence hall.
The new "Hello Girl" was cho
sen from representatives from 19
independent organizations on the
campus. Miss Blaha represented
the Women's Residence hall in
the contest.
Lbis Gillett, last year's winner,
made the award and presented
Miss Blaha with a bouquet of
roses.
A large crowd filled the Union
ballroom for the dance. Stream
ers of crepe paper were strung
across the ceiling but were pulled
down before the evening was
over. Free cokes were served
during the intermission.
This dance was the sixth an
nual dance since the affair was
started back in 1943. The first
dance was put on for the soldiers
stationed at the Lincoln Army
Air Base and members of the
ASTP unit at Nebraska.
New Records
Added to Union
Music Room
The newly redecorated music
room in the Student Union opened
Thursday with music hours from
12 to 2 p. m., and 4:30 to 10
p. m.
New records of both popular
and classical type have been add
ed to the collection, and the music
committee has planned several
record concerts and discussions
for the year.
Jlighlights of the season will be
the personal appearance of Di
mitri Markovitz, well known cell
ist, at the Union.

all type were distributed with the
heaviest gambling done during
the football season.
The dean said, "I am against
gambling of any type for stu
dents, and I will try to stop any
thing that will take their money
from them."
"The two sources of parlays
that were stopped were run by
persons outside the university,"
stated Dean Thompson.
The Huskers gave Coach Bernie
Bierman's squad some bad mo
ments in the opening half and
even managed a 13-12 lead for
awhile in the second quarter.
Nebraska's first touchdown
came in the first quarter when
Ev Faunce, Minnesota backfield
ace, fumbled a bad pass from cen
ter on his own nine-yard line.
Faunce evidently didn't see the
ball or couldn't find it. Bob
Schneider was alert to the situa
tion and scooped the ball into his
arms to tie the score at 6-all for
the Cornhuskers.
Another fumble in the Minne
sota backfield set up the only
other Nebraska score. Field fum
bled when Tom Novak hit him
and Novak recovered on the
Minnesota 25. Dick Hutton scam
pered to the 19 on a pass from
Ferguson and Novak hit the cen
ter of the Gopher'line to rack up
a first down. With first down and
18 yards to go for paydirt Novak
faked the ball to Hutton and then
handed it off to Cletus Fischer
who skipped around right end for
the touchdown.
Pass Defense Weak
The Husker pass defense was
very weak. They allowed the Go
phers to complete seven out of
eight passes during the first half
and Minnesota piled up 161 yards
through the air lanes. Minnesota's
line was not all it was touted to
be however. Nebraska plays
through the line gave them four
first downs and 60 yards through
rushing in the opening half.
The sky above Minnesota's Me
morial stadium was filled with
footballs and Ev Faunce had plen
ty to do with it. Faunce opened
the aerial attack early in the first
period when he flipped a pass to
Bud Grant on the Nebraska 37.
Faunce had plenty of protection
