Glassford was looking for a one

The game was a near duplicate
in reverse of last week's encounter
with Minnesota. Kansas State out
downed Nebraska and with a few
breaks in the right places the
Wildcats would have made the
score much closer. They might
even have won the game.

Clark's outstanding run was a
picture of perfection. The down

fans had seen all year.. Every
opponent was taken care of and
Ron was practically untouched all

Student Migration to Iowa tSate
Nov. 12.
This is the official word from
approval for the drawing up of
under the leadership of Roz How
the Student Spirit committee
which has been studying the pos
sibilities of a student migration,
ard.
The plan, which was instigated
by the committee, received faculty
plans under the followin provis
ions: , . 1. .That i a set number of train
tickets must be sold, and if the
number is less than Indicated, the
migration will be called off.
2.' Discipline will be entirely
under the sanction of the Student
ft ft.
urn

mm
Spirit committee and the Student
Council.
If the faculty then approves
the plan the only remaining ob
stacle will be the signing up of
the required number of students.
Price Time.
Railway fares to Ames have
been investigated and reports
show that a round trip ticket plus
a ticket to the game will not ex
ceed $15. Traveling time will be
six hours, that is, if the train
leaves , Lincoln at 6:00 a.m., it
should arrive in Ames by noon.
The exact price and time of de
parture will be announced at
a lakr date when more conclusive
plaiti have been formed.
The Spirit committee chose the
Iowa State football game for the
Student migration because that
campus is closer to Lincoln than
other out-state games: Nebrask
ans have not sanctioned an of
ficial migration to that campus for
a number of years, and the Uni
versity band is traveling to that
game.
The Yell squad will also will
attend the migration trip, and
alone with the band, and a large
crowd, the student spirit should
be outstanding. The football game
is also favored as one of the key
games of the year.
Members of the spirit committee
have beon corresponding with the
Iowa State student governing
body as to plans for an organized
Nebraska rally and celebration on
t'neir campus when the migration
train arrives in Ames.
The committee is also obtaining
information about food and prices.
Student Corporation Needed.
However, Roz Howard, chair
man of the committee, warns that
"the entire success of the migra
tion; the deciding factor of the en
tire migration, will be the number
of' students traveling by train." '
Tickets will be on sale immedi
ately following the approval of
the plan by the faculty and Stu
dent Council.
Previous University sponsored
migrations have not had the co
operation needed to warrant ap
proval for annual migrations in
the future. It is. hoped that a
large number of students will co
operate with the Spirit committee
and migration plans and travel to
the game by unversity sponsored
train.
Spirit Committee.
Members of the Spirit commit
tee working on the migration
plans are Roz Howard, chairman;
Al!Hind, band representative; Bob
Sim, Corn Cob, Lefty Gloystein,
Innocents; Nancy Jensen, Tassels,
Juanita Rediger, yell squad.
