Nothing New About Husker Chant . . . 1924 Songbook Reveals "Extinct" Melodies By Sony Whalen It must be true. Proclaimed by the cheer leaders as one of the "or iginal" alma mater songs, the revived chant evident ly once held a revered place in loyal Cornhusker hearts. Examination of a 1924 University songbook dis closed the Chant not only adorning the first page, but also used with musical notes for a cover design. . But then this isn't the only "oldie" listed. More than 110 pages are filled with songs which probably a good share of the campus would not rec ognize now. 'Field Song' "The Cornhusker," known now by only the athletes of the University, is called the "offical field song of the University". Members of the football squad sing the song before a game. The Chant also . formed the base for several other songs, among them "U-Rah-Nebraska," which starts out with "Dear old Nebraska,, loyal and true '"'-'- ) ;i :tt .r::mM mmmm m Mqm BIG TROPHY Alpha Tau Omega active Bill Haskell admires the four-foot trophy to be presented by the ATO's next spring to the outstanding fraternity pledge class, other than ATO. The project was Initiated to encourage "help" instead of "hell" weeks. On Spreading Spirit: Noisemaker Gimmicks Would Liven Stands By Dick Stuckey Everything from duck calls to cherry bombs to a cadence crushing of paper cups was suggested for noise makers at games on a Daily Nebraskan Crib inquiry. Dean Jenkins 'offered three questionable gimmicks for rapid spreading of contagious spirit: the unzipping and zipping of coat zipers on cold days (again in unison), the blowing of tissue paper on pocket combs, and the skilled use of a Zither an Alpine goat-calling horn which produces an amazing screaming sound similar to the call of the Zeus goat. Judy Porkorny said, "I think cow bells are nice my self," and several others suggested the same. Several Sigma Alpha Mu's offered the use of their port able siren and an anonymous representative of the ROTC department suggested a short range mteile directed at the Carillon Tower. One possible idea was to request Pop Kline to have his vendors sell popcorn to the student section in small mega phones to facilitate vocal strength. Other suggestions for general noisemaking included trumpets, New Year's Eve remnants, cow horns, moose horns, tambourines and cymbals. Joe Tooley thought complimentary bubble gum to sororities would liven things, and Bill Wells, University cheerleader, offered to put a cow under the springboard used by the Yell Squad to count to six in agonizing bleats as the team richocheted from the bovine. One positive ideas man thought if all Dorm people were given Voodoo dolls of the Greeks, and the Greeks likewise of the Dorm people, then spirit could be advanced greatly in needle-punching fashion. Moore Is FB Star Lineman Jim Moore has been picked by the Daily Nebraskan sports staff as "Star of the Week'" for his outstanding play in the Nebraska-Oregon State game Saturday. For details: See Page 3 Deadline Oct, 19 For Quqen Entry The deadline for Wheat Queen candidate entries is Oct. 19. Duane Foote, secretary of Nebraska Grain Improve ment Association, urged or ganizations sponsoring candi dates to submit their entries soon. A queen and two princesses, representing three sections of the state, will be crowned at the State Show Oct. 29. Let us pledge once again our allegiance to you . . . Let us sing of your spirit that never will die . . . But will carry you on with our old battle cry:" The Chant follows, then another verse, and the Chant again. The University was called U.N.I. as much as Corn husker in those days. "Standing By" "If," another alma mater-type song says, "Had I a thousand voices, full with silver phrase, Each one would be recalling my glad Cornhusker days; And if some ear should list, as my song is floating by, 'Twould hear the thrilling echo of U.U.U.N.I." Another rallying song, "Standing By," shouts "Oh U-N-I! We're standing by U-N-I, oh! U-N-I! Then do your best, we'll do the rA"t, U-N-I, oh! U-N-I! Buck the line with all your might, Circle ends, both left and right, and when you're hold ing, .hold them tight, U-N-I, oh! U-N-I!" Nebraska girls found fa vor in this song: Rag Index To Activities Starts Today The Daily Nebraska today is beginning a daily 4th-page index of campus events and meetings. The column is open to any group that wishes to announce a meeting or event. Stories regarding the event or meeting, still, of course, will be publicized, but the idea behind the column is to provide a quick index to cam pus activities for the day. Announcements for meet ings of the following day should be called or brought in to the Nebraskan office in the Student Union basement by 2 p.m. Announcement for Thurs day meetings should be turned in Tuesday afternoon and announcements of week end events should be brought to the Nebraskan office on Thursday. "O sweet Nebraska Girl . i . The dearest girl I know . . . When you are nigh, Old U-N-I, Seems just the right place, I see you dear face, For each night ... of you I dream of the Scarlet and the Cream, So here is to you, A girl who's true blue, O here's to Nebreska Girl!" The song used by the Ivy Chain on Ivy Day also had its roots in the "old" days. Other schools, as well as fraternities, are not neg lected. The book contains everything from "Go U Northwestern" to "Boola", dedicated to the trampling of Harvard. Fraternity songs Include many fraternities long since gone from the cam pus scene. Words and mu sic proclaim the praises of Alpha Theta Chi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Tau Epsilon and Alpha Sigma Phi, but Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Psi and Delta Tau Delta are listed, too. v But there's one song that's conspicuous by its absence. None other than "Dear Old Nebraska U"l Vol. 34, No. 13 Social Column See Page 4 Panhell Sets Up Program 4-Day Session Starts Monday A banquet will climax the annual Panhellenic Workshop next Wednesday evening.

She attributes credit to fa c u 1 1 y and administrative members particularly as be ing the greatest influence on her University career. "I think there are wonder ful opportunities here and students should avail them selves of them," she said. During the summer in Massachusetts she worked in a Yacht Club.

The contest will begin this be open to the public, said Dick Kelly, Tribunal Chair man. "Conduct Warning" The hearings will be in 419 Administration Hall at 4 p.m. Kelly said the Tribunal had five cases before them last week. They recommended "conduct warning" for all five to Dean Colbert of Student Af fairs. When questioned by the Daily Nebraskan as to his position on closed hearings, he replied, "Every individual has the right to have an open meeting if he wants. As far as the Tribunal stands, it makes no difference." Kelly stated that the Trib unal will follow the Student Council's recommenda t i o n last spring that the Tribunal submit more information con cerning its function to the students. Box of Cases "We plan to have in the Daily Nebraskan (list) every week of the cases heard and recommendations of the Trib unal. Tribunal secretary Ingrid Leder will be in charge of it." "We are not a jury as such," he explained,' "We merely make recommenda tions to the Dean of Student Affairs. We found last year that everyone (judged) was well satisfied. Out of 96 cases only six requested open hear ings. It worked really well." Kelly said that the present Tribunal had reviewed its by laws and didn't make any changes. Open to Criticism "We're certainly open to criticism," he continued. "But the primary thing is that people think we're out to hang somebody, but we all are members of the student body too. Protect Individual 1 IC Lamcu fcU pcujjic around campus and they seem to think we're a bunch of power crazed office seek ers trying to get in good with the administration. "That is completely false. We're here to protect the in dividual as much as pos sible." Kelly said that he didn't feel information about the in dividuals was good because "most of the people that ap pear before us haven't done anything seriously wrong." Building To Go be described as simple and direct. Attention to Altar He said ail attention is drawn to the altar because no feature between the en trance and altar area detracts from the simplicity and di rectness of the altar design. The walls of the chapel will be mosaic designs of alternat ing various colored panels and glass squares. A unique feature of the chapel will be a colored cross-shaped window Wednesday, October 7, 1959 Saturday and continue for each home game. Each house or organization occupying a section will be judged by the yell squads on originality, organization, co operation and general support of the team. Do Anything The groups may make signs, wave pom poms or do anything to create spirit. "However," said F r d Bliss, vice president of Com Cobs, "we don't want to tear down anything we already have or destroy any feature we are now proud to have." Don't Do To clarify the judging, stan dards have been set up and any violations will result in disqualification of the organ ization and possible exclusion from the card section next year. Violations disqualifying an organization will be: 1) not co-operating with the yell squad 2) use of musical instru ments and whistles; 3) any disorderly conduct or act reflecting upon the organ ization or school 4) disrespectful use of noise makers, signs, etc., in such a way that it will distract from the game 5) Not co-operating with Gamma Lambda in the card section. Best Seats The trophy will be pre sented at the end of the game by the yell king to a represen tative of the winning group. The organization will keep the trophy until the next home game. At the end of the football season the organization judged best for the four home games will retain the trophy until next year.

Armstrong, it was de signed especially for this chapel. The architecture of the building was described by Rev. Armstrong as Gothic "to preserve the old and to intro duce the new."
