Ehr inghaus described economic con ditions in 1933 and declared he had turned to Dr. Hanft for ad vice during his term as governor.

He advised au dience of certain things in court room procedure that he had learned from experience as a trial lawyer. The former governor defended trial by jury and expressed confi dence in the ability of people who are regarded as uneducated to determine the true facts in situa tions.

The Oklahoma head cheer leader and bandmaster will go to New Orleans this week to brew pep plans. The game itself is con sidered to be the biggest thing since Cherokee Run. : Most students are saving their money to buy spirits of alcohol in conjunction with football spirit. Oklahoma is very dry. ' Students are wondering if Coach Wilkinson is showing the team new plays to cope with the Tar Heels. Some Sooners arc angry .over having to pick up their tickets in New Orleans while alumni are having theirs mailed to them. But cash is the main obstacle in the way of stu dents who would like -to attend the game. The ticket situation is generally snafu. Th6 first move was to give two tickets to each student, but it was soon cut to one because of the scalping scare. Faculty mem bers were allowed four tickets to the accompaniment of gnash ing student teeth. On campus, the Tar Heels are conceded an outside chance to win the game, but everyone is sure North Carolina won't ever get a chance to put in their fifth team .against the Sooners. - The belief is expressed at O. U. that the football polls are all wet. Revision is expected by Jan. 2. Oklahomans expect to send the Tar Heels back to Chapel Hill mumbling, "There ain't no justice. . ." And plans have al ready been made for a victory banquet. Student Tickets Can Be Picked up Students may arrange for some one else to get their class tickets if a blue card is filled out at the time the tickets are picked up. However, the registration office will not be responsible if the class tickets are lost.
