Union ballroom until game time.
A special section of bleacher
seats for the Cornhuskers will be
placed in front of the Iowa State

so that there should be room for
an overflow crowd, if necessary.
Following the game, all Ne

sponsored by the Twisters, wo
men's pep organization, in the
Union ballroom.
Eating facilities have been in
vestigated and restaurants and
cafeterias in Ames and on the
Iowa State campus have been
notified of the expected crowd.
The migration train will leave
that campus at 9 p. m. for Lin
coln. ,
Tickets for the migration will
be on sale for the next three

Support
YM-YW leaders praised the work
of the AUF, WSSF and the Chest
when interviewed recently.
'Students Help Students'
Father Harry Whitley, Episco
pal minister, commented, "AUF
gives students the opportunity to
support people in a position to do
the acts of assistance that we
would render if we were on the
foreign campus scene. Since a
great portion of the fund goes to
foreign students for books, lab
equipment, tuitions, etc., students
should be particularly interested
in the drive."
Charles Kemp, executive secre
tary of the campus YMCA, told
an Interviewer, "The AUF gives
us the chance to invest a part of
ourselves in those who have been
unfortunate. We should see it as
a privilege to share our plenty
with their want."
Presbyterian student pastor,
Rev. Rex Knowles, remarked,
"The AUF is the most important
thing the University of Nebraska
students do in the whole course
of the year. I know all students
will pet back of the drive goner
ously."
'Privilege to Give'
"The All University Fund is our
way of extending a helping hand
to fellow students around the
world," says Rev. Richard Nut.t,
Methodist student pastor. "Count
it as a privilege to be one of those
who gave "
Rev. II. Erck, Lutheran min
ister, commented, "It Is both hu
manitarian and Christian to help
the unfortunate In the various
communities in which we live.
Certainly college students would
wish to assume their share in the
various endeavors of mercy."
Harold Nebelsick. vice presi
dent of the city campus YMCA,
reminded students, "To live most
fully is to give freely."
Shmn Boosts WSSF.
The YWCA executive secretary,
Ruth Shinn, commented, "The
WSSF brings together all groups
and all nations in mutual trust
which is seldom done by any other
group. The spirit of the gift, how
ever small, means so much more
than the gift itself. Through the
World Student Service fund, it
brings understanding to both the
giver and the receiver. Gifts are
given to those students in real
need. There is no political dis
crimination whatsoever."
The Very Rev. Msgr. George
Schuster, Catholic student pastor,
emphasized that "the AUF is JJie
one opportunity for students to
share with the needy, both on a
local and international level. What
we give to the Community Chest
is returned to a great extent to
the campus itself; what we share
with students of other nations
brings even more far-reaching
returns."
The pastors and Y leaders were
unanimous in urging University
students to "SACRIFICE FOR
AUF."

AWS to Hold Annual
Activity Mart Oct. 27
Marking the opening of activi
ties to freshman women after the
six-weeks' ban, the AWS Activ

'CCCCC Puzzle
Confuses Campus
Students awoke Tuesday morn
ing to find the strange message,
CCCCC, staring them in the face
from every tree, telephone pole,
and bulletin board.
No one seems to know just
what the five letters mean or
stand for, there being many side
walk debates on the question.
All that is positively known is
that the magic monogram has
something to do with one of the
campus' many publications.
The Daily Nebraskan, in the
nuhlic interest, has consented to
print periodic clues as to the
meaning of the mysterious mys
tery. Each day or so, there will
he another article further clarify
ing the puzzle with hints and
suggestions.
the house wishes one of its
members to compete for a Pro
ducer title.
Winners of the Theater honor
will be r esented Monday, Oct.
31, at 8 p. m. at the premiere
showing of "Faust." The two
winning Producers, chosen on
the basis of tickets sold, will be
introduced at that time in a gala
presentation.
Three male and female run-ners-up
will also be honored at
the premiere.
Gifts for Winners
The winners of the contest will
be given personal gifts, a bou
quet, reserved seats for all Uni
versity Theater plays, in addition
to pictures of their presentation
4 to 6 p.m. in the Union ballroom
will act as a clearinghouse to give
the freshmen a chance to learn
about all activities.
Fifteen campus activities will
have booths with information on
the work done in the activity and
the time when work can be done.
Explanations of each booth will be
given over the loudspeaker during
the afternoon. AWS members will
also be present to answer questions
on the activities.
In an effort to make the Activ-
ity Mart of more benefit than in
the past, the AWS will call all
girls who sign up for afctivities to
make sure that the activities have
contacted them.
Although the Activity Mart
gives the freshman women a
chance to see all activities, the
AWS advises those attending to
decide tentatively beforehand
what activities they are interested
in. Another tip from AWS is not
to sign up for more activities
than they can actively participate
in.
A list of pointed activities is on
page 4.
and a 16 by 22 portrait. Their
pictures will be sent to 300 col
leges in the United States as well
as to local and state newspapers.
The portraits will appear on the
covers of all Theater programs.
A traveling trophy will be pre
sented for the second year to the
houses of the winning students.
It will remain in the house's pos
session for one year.
Runners-Up
The runners-up for the Pro
ducer titles will receive corsages
and two courtesy tickets to the
"Faust" premiere.
Honorary Producer candidates
have sold over 800 season tickets
to the Theater, according to Mrs.
Margaret Denton, Theater busi
Student Ducats
To Cost $2.25
Admission to the first major
all-student dance of the year, the
Homecoming dance, will be $2.25
a couple. Joe Sanders and his
Nighthawks orchestra have been
engaged to play for the event.
The traditional Homecoming
dance, the climax to week-end of
homecoming activities for students
and alumni, will be held Satur
day, Nov. 5 in the Coliseum.
The ticket price, one of the
lowest in recent years for a name
band dance, was agreed upon by
Corn Cobs and Tassels, sponsors
of the annual event. Tickets last
year were $3.
Sanders, "the ole left hander,"
is a popular entertainer at night
clubs, theaters, hotels and col
lege campuses across the nation.
He has recently appeared with
his orchestra at the Blackhawk
restaurant and Martinique of Chi
cago, the Palace hotel of San
Francisco, the Nicollet hotel of
Minneapolis, the New Yorker
hotel of New York and the Muehl-
bach hotel of Kansas City.
Hit Records
His current hit records include,
"There Goes My Ball and Chain"
and "Over the Rim of the -Sun."
He is the author of the hit song,
"Beloved," which sold over a
million copies.
The band leader is also a rec
ord holder in baseball with a
world's strike-out mark of 27 in
9 innings. He is also a three-
cushion billiards champion of
Kansas City.
In fact, the late Robert Ripley
cited Sanders in his "Believe It
or Not" column for his pitching
record. The National Billiards as
sociation presented the orchestra
leader with a cue and case auto
graphed by all past and present
cue champions.
Honorary Kiwanian
Sanders is the only band leader
ever to be tendered a member
ship in the Chicago Kiwanis club.
Popular on many college cam
puses, he was made an honorary
member of Kappa Sigma fratern
ity at Penn State.
He has three theme songs: an
opener, "Do You Miss Me?"; early
evening closing theme, "I'll Never
Forget I Love You"; and late
evening, "Nighty Night"; all his
own songs.
Sanders was raised in Indian
Territory which is now Centralia,
Oklahoma. He got his early sense
of rhythm from Indian tom-toms,
but he started piano lessons at
the age of nine and for ten years
afterward. He started voice les
sons at the age of eleven, ex
changing choir singing for voice
lessons.
Early Training
Later, he sang in a male quar

that "Faust," the Theater's first
production, is already a near
sell-out, and that all other plays
are past the halfway mark. Pro
ducer candidates sold 378 tickets
last year.
The Theater wishes to ex
press its hearty thanks to all of
our fine candidates this year,"
said Mrs Denton. "They have
shown real enthusiasm for the
Honorary Producer titles."
Mrs. Denton reminded all
Theater patrons to make seat re
servations this week. The box
office will be open during this
week every afternoon. Tickets
must be exchanged for reserved
scats.
