Priced this year at $5, the tickets include football only. Students will purchase another ticket after the football seasQn for remaining athletic events. Identification cards will be required at the time of ticket Marshall Repl aces Johnson Korean Push Soon Walker Paving the way for early con gressional approval of Gen. George C. Marshall's appoint ment as new defense secretary was continued Wednesday in a senate armed services committee j vote of 10-2, to waive legal ob 6tacles. Action bv the senate as a whole is expected Thursday in i onswer to President Truman's j plea for "early and favorable ac- i tion" in the "present critical circumstances." Altho moving with less speed, the house pushed forward also to clear obstacles for the 69-year-old soldier-statesman to enable him to take over the country's defense post as successor to Secretary Louis Johnson. Chief obstacle in approving the appointment is the present unification law prohibiting a mil itary man to take the defense job. While the nation at home be gin a fight for a new defense leader the allied troops in the Pacific received word that they will soon launch the offensive against the Korean war machine which they have stalled for a . month. . In a fighting talk to his front line troops Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, Allied ground comman der in Korea, said that the de fense attitude was soon to be abandoned. "As soon as we start forward and break the crust in front of us, the enemy will fold," he said, pointing to a weak ening of the enemy now. Corresponding with the talk, allied troops flattened the red Korean bulge on the northeast front in a triple-threat power drive. Gains by the United Na tions in a three-day offensive were the greatest in nearly a month, Looking to the resignation of ! Defense Secretary Jonnson. uni- ted States and foreign diplomats at a big-three meeting in New York saw a drive to strengthen' Secretary of State Acheson in his move to speed up organization of a strong Atlantic alliance de fense force in Western Europe. With President Truman's ap pointment of Gen. Marshall to the post, full and vigorous sup port of the Truman cabinet without the frictions and delays which have been attributed to the so-called Johnson-Acheson feud are expected to be elimina ted. Shaking up was reported not only in the United States how ever. A new earthquake was re ported Wednesday in Northern Assam as being possibly more violent than the one that took 5,000 lives in the same area a month ago.

Color of this little chapeau ls scarlet, set off with numbered "54" in white.

The freshman beanies are de rigeur for ell campus newcom ers, they may be obtained by slipping 50c to any Innocent or Coed counselor. They will give the purchaser a card, which will obtain one beanie at Ben Simons. Tradition dictates th&t the beanies musv be worn until the homecoming football game. At the halftime a tug-of-war be tween the freshman and sopho more classes will be held. If the freshmen come out the losers, 'they must wear the caps until the first snow flies. In charge of the sales are Peg Mulvaney of the Counselors and Bob Mosher of the Innocents. So far the Innocents have sold about 700 caps, with the Big Sisters reporting 400 sales. The Coed Counselors use prof Its of the sales to support such functions as the Penny Carni val; the Innocents Society devotes cules pror-ee s to functions such on n-iH'p Tin- ntiH h SVnfih Hon purchase. Students who do not have identification cards at this time will be required to present a written statement from the registrar. As in the past, all organized houses and groups wanting to sit together must present identifica tion cards at the same time, to gether with the money covering the required number of tickets. At the time of the purchase the individual student or group representative will draw a num ber from a special lottery box. This number will designate the order to be used in the actual assignment of reserved seats to the individual or group. Students will sit on the east side of the stadium, according to A. J.

Put the statement and your request in an envelope and mail SCI1BO fudeitfs Nebraska's student population will decline about 12 per cent this semester, Dr. George W. Rosenlof, director of admissions, estimated Wednesday on the basis of completed registrations. Rosenlof estimated that be tween 7500 and 7800 students would attend school this semes ter as compared to 9000 for the same period last year. About 4000 students had completed registration Wednesday, with about 5500 at the same time a year ago. Many students who started their registration in the spring have failed to complete the pro cedure this fall, Rosenlof said. 3000 Graduates During 1950, nearly 3000 stu dents graduated from the Uni versity. There have been approx imately 1500 new registrations received by the University. There are about 400 transfer students. Thus a deficit of about 1100 stu dents from last fall is expected. Nebraska's veteran student seems due for a drop, since only 1200 veterans have registered. About 1700 were enrolled last semester. This was a greater drop than expected, Rosenlof said. Foreign students on the cam- pus will be about as numerous as las-t vear. Rnsenlof sid About 150 are expected to enroll this year. Two new exchange students from Switzerland are expected to arrive soon to attend school. They will join two exchange students who have been attend ine school nreviouslv.

Hoover Tells Procedure For Drop and Add Drop and add procedure will begin Friday morning and con tinue until Saturday noon, ac cording to Dr. Floyd W.
