campus real interesting things that
are going to rouse the audience, in the
trite words ot the press agent, to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm.
Refreshments, Too
Then there will be refreshments.
The "eats," as even college students
mlgarly dub them, will be satisfying
to the most jaded palate, and there

announcement. Except this that as
In the past, it will be a no-date party
the girls will go by their little lone
somes or with each other, and the
man who tries to pair off is going to
be a rare being. Last year the co-eds
found that they had Just & shade bet

this year some ot those who are most
importuned for dates, hare firmly de
clared that they will go without mas

NEBRASKA BAND MUST GO
TO OREGON: AND IT WILL
SPECIAL TRAIN CHARTERED BY
GUY REED, ATHLETIC MANAGER
Round Trip Tickets S60 Two Half
Day Stops Daily Concerts Will
Be Given
The Nebraska University cadet band
the best university band in the
United States, is going to Oregon with
the football team. Guy E. Reed, man
ager of athletics, yesterday chartered
a special train to take the band, the
team, and the rooters who can make
the trip, to the western coast.
The band must go that seems to be
the general sentiment at the Univer
sity and among the business organiza
tions of Lincoln and Omaha. It is
felt that if the students will only give
their hearty support. If they wiU buy
2,000 tickets for the dance at the audi
torium October 13, the trip will be
assured.
A little bit about the trip. It is
planned to have the special train leave
Lincoln over the Union Pacific, and
return to this cif.y by way of the
Northern Pacific, touching all of the
scenic points en route.
Half-Hour Concerts
The feature of the trip, however,
will be two half-hour concerts by the
band each day, at towns en route. The
special train will be stopped at prob
ably seventeen or eighteen towns on
the going and the return trip, and the
advertisement that will be given Ne
braska University by the appearance
of the band at these towns is self-evident.
The trip wiU not be mainly one of
boosting and beating the Oregon agri
cultural college team when the two
clash on the Portland field Saturday,
October 21, however. A half-day will
be spent at Astoria, Ore., a town on
the shores of the Pacific ocean, and
another half -day will be spent in Gla
cier national park, one of the wonder
beauty spots of the world.
Guy Reed has announced that an

MISS SHAKERIAN
TO STUDY DANCING
UNDER PAVLOWA
Marguerita Shakerian, former Uni
versity student, who went to New
York to dance before Pavlowa, has
written to friends on the faculty of
her experiences in the east.
Miss Shakerian has a brilliant fu
ture, according to critics who have
seen her dance. She was taken to the
Studio club in New York, and is living
there, according to her letter. She
says that she has seen Pavlowa and
will begin her work next Monday, and
have three lessons a week from then
on.
FINE ART DEPARTf.!EHT
HAS LARGE ENROLLMENT
WITH MUSIC COURSES
Habbi Jacob Singer, new assistant
professor of theory and history of
music, comes to the music and fine
arts department with the Increased
Importance given to music in the Uni
Tersity curriculum.
A new course In beginning harmony
has been started, as well as one in
the history of music This work will
be required of all staffents who wish
to take the bachelor of music degree.
There are already about fif.y students
enrolled In the courses. They are
open to all students registered in the
arts and sciences college.
The department of fine arts Is larg
er this year than it was ever before,
with abont 200 enrolled in drawing
snd palnt'ng and about 22; in elocu
tion and dramatics and music courses.
ern jaunt with the team should see
him today. By special arrangement
with the railroad companies. Reed has
made it possible for the students to
secure round trip tickets for the trip
at a cost of only ?60, providing the
tickets are secured this week. The
special rate cannot be made after the
last day of September, which falls on
Saturday. So it behooves those who
are 'counting upon going west to see
Guy Reed at once and make their res
ervations. The ordinary fare going
and returning, is approximately f 100,
so by a little foresight the rooters who
will go can save themselves about $40.
Special Dance Music
The band yesterday began practice
of special dance music for the audi
torium festival on the night of Octo
ber 13. The music that will be
played for the party will include all of
the latestVdance pieces played as only
the best university band in the coun
try can play them.
Tickets for the party go on sale to
day everywhere one dollar. The Col
lege Book Store, Harry Porter's, cam
pus, salesmen, fraternity men, non-fraternity
men, bunches of tickets wiU
be placed in the hands of each, and
the sales campaign will be boosted
hard every day during the next two
weeks. Two thousand tickets must
be sold that is the feeling of the
sponsors of the plan to take the band
to Oregon.
Coach Stewart, who was at the Ore
gon agricultural college for five years
and knows what is what on the coast,
says that the Aggie band is the best
coast, musical organization. It is so
good that last year for the 1915 San
Francisco exposition, then managers
of the great world's fair brought the
band to San Francisco, paying all ex
penses, Just to have It for one of the
musical attractions at the fair
grounds.

dence in the Nebraska band to believe
that the two playing against each oth-
