F0UR DRIVES
Daily Nebraskan, Student Ath
letic Ticket, Payment of Sta
dium Pledge, and Freshman
fieage urives umorizea.
TWO NEW NOW-VOTING
MEMBERS APPOINTED
President of Body Demands
That Student Representa
tives Be .Consulted Before
Any Project Is Launched.
Drives on the campus were au
thorized by the Student Council for
the next two months at a special
meeting held in S. S. 107 yesterday
as follows: The Daily Nebraskan,
September 24, 25, 26; student ath
letic tickets, October 10, 11, and 12;
third payment of stadium pledges,
October 24, 25, 26; November 5 to
10,.. drive for freshman stadium
pledges. During this period all other
drives have been eliminated. Two
new non-voting members, Emmett
V. Maun and Miss Arvilla John
son, were appointed to take the
place of those who did not return
to school.
Drastic changes in the policy of
other years were made at the meet
ing yesterday, which Clifford Hicks,
president, classed as the most in
portant of the year. The president
stated that the Council demanded
that it be consulted before any drive
is started or such- a drive will not
be allowed on the campus.
The matter of allowing these
drives was carefully weighed by the
Council, according to the president,
and it was decided that the appoor
tionment of dates would allow plenty
of time between the important cam
"paigns. i
Miss Arvilla Johnson, who was
nominated -from the Teachers Col
lege for the elections" last -prin,
will take the place left vacant by
the failure of Miss Dorothy Hultm
to return to school. Miss Johnson
will attend all meetings but will have
no vote.
Emmett V. Maun was appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the ab
sence of Ronald Button, who did not
return to school. Mr. Maun will
attend all meetings until a special
election is held to elect a successor
to Mr. Button. Neither of the ap
pointees will have a vote in meetings
The personnel of the Council for
the 1923-24 session is:
Officers: Clifford M. Hicks, pres
ident; Helen Kummer, vice presi
dent; Ruth Small, secretary.

Clifford Hicks, Helen Kummer, and
Mildred Daly.

be consulted.
Y TO GIVE SECOND
STAG PARTY TONIGHT
The second big Y. M. C. A. stag
party for freshmen and others who
wish to come js to be given tonight
at 7:30 in the Temple. The enter
tainment committee of the "Y" cab
inet considered the first party held
last Tuesday so successful that a
similar program will be given this
evening.
The program will include a new
film showing different phases of
campus life and activities. A speak
er is being secured for a short talk.
Music, games, and refreshments will
fill in the remainder of the evening.
As the get-together starts at 7:30
it will be over by 9 o'clock to allow
for other appointments.
BEGIN WORK ON
UNI DIRECTORY
Work has commenced on the Uni
versity Directory for the year 1923
1924 by the joint committee appoint
ed by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.
C. A. for that purpose. This roster
of faculty and students is compiled
annually and put on sale as the most
complete and convenient directory of
Nebraskans.
As in the past, this year's book
will contain the name, telephone,
home and Lincoln address, year, col
lege and affiliations of all university
students. The office and residence
telephone and addresses of the mem
bers of the faculty are included. Sep
arate lists of the students eoming
from the different towns of the state
and of the students from other states
are given in the back of the book.
The lists from which the directory
is assembled are to be obtained thru
classrooms in about ten days. These
lists will be placed in the hands of
the Y. M. C. A. about the last of
September.
It is the plan of the committee in
charge to have the book with the
printer by about October 10 and if
present, plans go thru the' book will
be ready for distribution on the first
of November. The "Y" committee
in charge thinks that this record will
be a good one since the books will
be issued a week earlier than in for
mer years in spite of the fact that
school started a week late.
NEW STUDENTS QUICK
TO TAKE UP N BOOKS
Entire Context is Rewritten;
Upperclassmen Anxious to
Get Copies.
Copies of the 1923 "N" book were
distributed 16 the 300 freshmen who
attended the Y. M. C. A. stag party
last Tuesday. Since that time they
have been given to men and women
students alike as fast as they came
from the printer. Twenty-one hun
dred books have been ordered, an in
crease of 300 over last year's order.
Although there has been a constant
demand for these guide books from
uDDerclassmen. preference is being
given to freshmen, and new students.
The 1923 N book is distinguished
by the fact that the entire context
has been rewritten. Sixteen pages
have been added and extra memor
andum space provided for. Cuts of
campus views and personalities ap
pear for the first time in this year s
issue. Much cumbersome material
has been eliminated to be replaced
bv information which is considered
more useful. The Y. M. C. A. cabi
net believes that the result of these
nances and the elaborate cover
which features this edition is the
best "N" book to date.
The staff which had charge of pub-
lishine the 1923 "N" book was se
lected from the Y. M. C. A. and Y.
W. C. A. cabinets. Frank FrFy was
editor and business manager of the
book and Edith Olds, publicity chair
man for the Y. W. C. A., was asso
ciate editor. A staff of seven re
porters assisted the editors with the
publication.

laboratory and the University of

A total of 640 students were en
rolled in the classes of the Wisconsin
Course in Journalism this year.
Wearing of the Green
Green caps must be worn by
all first year men.
These caps must be worn at
all times whether or not students
are upon the University campus.
The caps may be discarded af
ter Olympics if the freshmen beat
the sophomores in the annual
classic.
The Iron Sphinx will be in
charge of the enforcement of the
green cap rule and each sopho
more man is appointed a commi -tee
of one to see to the enforce
ment of the wearing of the green
caps.
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1923
Chancellor Supports Council
To the Students of the University: t .
Confirming a statement made on the authority of Mr. Hicks,
F resident of the Student Council, in the first issue of The Nebraskan
wish to call your attention to the fact that drives on the University
campus in which the students or faculty are to be solicited for money
will be permitted only under the following conditions:
Any proposed drive should be taken up first with the Student
Council and receive the approval of this body. After such approval
the proposal will be transmitted under the signature of the president
of the Council to the committee on student organizations of which
Dean Heppner is chairman. If approved by this committee, it will
come to my office for final approval, which except under unusual cir
cumstances, will bo a matter of formality.
S. AVERY, Chancellor.
AVVGWAN NEVER
TO APPEAR ON
CAMPUS AGAIN?
Sigma Delta Chi and Univer
sity Authorities Fail to
Agree on Details Regarding
Joke Magazine.
FRATERNITY MEETING
FRIDAY TO DECIDE
Issue of Shun ' Last Year Put
Local Journalistic Organiza
tion on Outs With Its Na
tional Headquarters.
Publication of the Awgwan, cam
pus funny sheet since 1912, may be
stopped on account of a disagree
ment between the Sigma Delta Chi,
Journalistic fraternity, and Uni
sity authorities over "The Shun"
scandal sheet published last spring.
The final decision is expected to be
made at a meeting of the fraternity
Friday.
It is said that the Student Publi
cation Board not only objected to
the Shun, but to the disposal of prof
its of the Awgwan. Though the na
tional headquarters censured the
local fraternity, it did not heed sug
gestions made to put Sigma Delta
Chi publications .here under the di
rect supervision of the university
faculty.
Both university officials and
Charles Mitchell, secretary of the
fraternity, say that no definite ac
tion about discontinuance of publi
cation has been taken. One mem
ber of the fraternity declared that
discontinuance of the sheet is a cer
tain thing.
The Awgwan was started in 1912
after the Arrow-Head, a high class
humorous paper first printed i n
1899, had expired. Ralph Northrup
was the moving spirit of the new pa
per, and largely due to his efforts
it was begun. Its drawings and
cover designs from that time until
now have furnished an outlet for
student humorists and 'cartoonists,
so ample an outlet, that its issues
were published monthly instead of
bi-monthly.
Some 1,200 Wisconsin physicians
last year sent 64,768 specimens for
diaemosis to the State Hygiene lab
oratory conducted in collection with
the University of Wisconsin.
Badger University Commencement
exercises now have their own special
music, composed by the Director of
the School of Music.
Member of Second
Recalls University Life of the 70' s
Dr. U. H. Malick, '74, Blooming-
ton, one of the three members of the
second class that was graduated
from the University, was on the
campus yesterday afternoon visiting
Chancellor Avery.
A dance at the registration fig
ures showed Dr. Malick that over
4,000 students had registered so far
and led him to point out that in 1874
there were iust sixty-nine students
in the whole school. Only fifteen of
these were taking coliegiate work.
The rest were taking preparatory
work.
"University hall was the only
building on the' campus then," Dr.
Malick said. "There were on.y five
members on the faculty. When the
building was first erected they put
a furnace in the basement but the
first winter we almost froze so they
took the ' furnace out and put in
small hard coal stoves."
Dr. Malick and Charcellor Avery
laughed as they remembered how
REGISTRATION
FIGURES SHOW
500JNCREASE
Announcement Made by Chan
cellor on Registration; Stu
dents Lost Through Recipro
cal Tuition Plan.
SEVERAL COLLEGES NOT
INCLUDED IN LIST
Enrollment Larger in Spite of
Increased Fees Needed Be
cause of Lame Legislative
Appropriation.
(University News Service)
"Registration figures up to the
present date indicate that there will
be at least 500 more students in the
catalog this year than last," Chan
cellor Avery declared yesterday.
Incomplete registration at the Uni
versity of NeDrasKa Wednesday even
ing recorded 229 students in excess
of the corresponding period a year
ago. These figures do not include
those registered in the College of
Medicine at Omaha, the School of
Agriculture at Curtis, in extension
work, in the secondary School of Ag
riculture, and in the short courses
This increase in registration proba
bly is a fair index to the increased
attendance of students who will reg
ister in Lincoln for this year.
Altho Wednesday evening officially
closed the three-day period of regis
tration adopted in place of the five
day period of last year, the enroll
ment of students is continuing. Those
registering late without special per
mission given on account of causes
beyond their control are penalized by
a late registration fee.
This increase in attendance comes
in spite of the fact that the Board of
Regents found it necessary to in
crease fees to care for the ever
increasing r.umber of students seek
ing iidmLsion along with some de
crease in legislative support. It
comes, too. despite the fact that
standards of scholarship have been
consistently and constantly raised in
the university as well as in the high
schools of the state.
NOTICE
Student Manager
sophomores who wish to try-out
for Football Student Manager by
applying this fall as Sophomore
candidates should report to the
Athletic office at once or to Jim
Tyson, Student Manager, at the
gymnasium.
Class Graduated
the janitor who came around during
the day to take care of the fires used
to act as a perambulating bulletin
board, dispensing news and making
announcements in every room. Dr.
Malick also remembered ' when the
faculty members lariated their cows
on the campus.
According to Dr. Malick there was
then very little of what is now
known as "student life." There were
no athletics and it was not until to
ward the close of his college life
that there was a beginning of stu
dent publications. The "Hesperian
Student" was the first one. The
students did manage several lecture
courses, some of which were not
complete financial successes.
For amusements the students had
jumping, wrestling, and toward the
end of Dr. Malick's four years, base
ball and football were introduced.
The city of Lincoln was rather small
at that time, having been laid out
only seven years before. . . j
HARRIERS WORK OUT
ON BELMONT COURSE
"One hundred and fifty men out
for cross-country," is the call sent
out by Coach J. Lloyd McMasters
"I see no reason why Nebraska
should not have a successful season
if we can get enough men out,"
stated the coach. Captain A. L.
Hyde and thirteen other men have
already signed up.
Freshmen especially are urged to
come out and get in training. Al
though they are not eligible for in
tercollegiate contests this year, the
training which they would receive
this year would give them a tre
mendous advantage over other can
didates who do not come out until
they are sophomores, asserts Coach
McMasters. .
The men received their first seri
ous workout last night under the
coach's direction. Previously the
men have been working out alone.
No track is available at present, and
the harriers will take short workouts
on the Belmont course.
The schedule has not been defi
nitely settled yet, but return matches
will be held with Missouri, the Kan
sas Aggies, and probably with Ames,
The Belmont course, which has
been used for several years will have
to be changed slightly this year on
account of the location of the sta
dium.
The fourteen men who had signed
up last night are: A. L. Hyde, Paul
Zimmerman, J. F. Schultz, J. M
Cohen, Robert Preston, W. E. Chris
man, J. W. Anderson, J. W. Ross,
J. W. Hepperly, Ray E. Hall, Claire
Fairchild, Evard G. Lee, George E
Ready, Raymond H. Swallow.
WFAV HAS COMPLETE
NEW SET THIS YEAR
Radio Station Enlarged; Daily
Nebraskan Articles to
Be Broadcast.
WFAV, University radio station,
has a complete new outfit including
a motor generator set, new tubes,
and a new panel. The transmitter
has been enlarged to 500 watts.
Te new set has been in operation
about a week and seems fairly sat
dsfactory, Mr. Moles, radio opera
tor, said yesterday. It is not com
pletely adjusted yet. The best range
covered so far has been from Lex
ington, Ky., to Saskatchewan, Can
ada. This equipment was .formerly
used at the capitol, but Mr. Moles is
trying to use it at the full 500-watt
output instead of 250-watt as it was
at the capitol.
New antennae have also been
put up at the station and a counter
poise will soon be erected.
Articles from The Daily Nebras
kan that may interest alumni are
being broadcast at present on the
daytime program of the station. The
regular time will probably be 12:40
p. m.
Musical programs have not yet
been definitely arranged. The ar
tists will use the same room in the
Electrical Engineering building as
that in which the set is located. A
piano will be moved in soon and
programs begun. The arrangement
will eliminate telephone-line trou
bles encountered using a library
room last year.
Suggestions and constructive criti
cism are welcome from anyone on
the campus, Mr. Moles said.
Business or vocational subjects are
studied by one-fourth the persons
wha take corrresnondence-study
courses through the Wisconsin Uni
versity Extension division.
Student Reception
The annual reception given by
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery for
all students and members of the
faculty will be given in Fine Arts
hall Saturday evening from 8 to
10. This has been a custom for
years, and is always an event
looked forward to by the new
students who have never had an
occasion to meet the Chancellor
and Mrs. Avery. A large num
ber of persons always take ad
vantage of the invitation issued
and take opportunity of meeting
the head of the University of Ne
braska and his wife.
PRICE 5 CENTS
CAMPAIGN FOR
SUBSCRIPTIONS
WILLBE MADE
Nebraskan Solicitors Start
Three Day Drive Monday;
Booths to Be Erected on
Campus.
MANAGER WANTS 1,400
COLLEGE SUBSCRIBERS
Price Remains Same as Last
Year Despite Greatly In
creased Size of Newspaper.
At least 1,400 new subscriptions
are expected by the management of
The Daily Nebraskan the first three
days of next week "gala days"
when an active campaign will begin
on the campus, according to Busi
ness Manager Hicks.
Booths are to be erected at the en
trances of the Social Science and Li
brary buildings, and a headquarters
in front of University hall, with a
corps of solicitors operating from
them.
The price of the paper this year
remains at $2 a year, or $1.25 a se
mester, despite the fact that the size
of the paper has been increased. Last
year a four-page, six-column paper
was published. This year it will be a
seven-column paper. By taking the
paper the full year a saving of a half
dollar is effected.
The paper cost3 only one and one
fourth cent a day, less than you pay
for a paper on ue street, yet gives
you the only exclusively collegiate
news service in Nebraska. Students
who have been in school more than a
year have found the Nebraskan an
essential of college life. Many send
the paper to their friends and rela
tives, as well as subscribing them
selves. Everyone taking a subscription will
be given a pennant, with the inscrip
tion, "The Daily Nebraskan 1923."
ZUPPKE USING NEW
MEN IN SCRIMMAGE
Illinois Coach Having Hard
Time With Backfield, Ends
and Tackles.
(Special to Nebraskan.)
Light scrimmage featured the
University of Illinois football prac
tice yesterday. Coach Robert Zup
pke was using a backfield composed
of new men, with the exception of
Mcllwain, the Illinois' star half.
In addition to Mcllwain the new
men were Hall, a junior, at quarter;
H. Wheaton at half and Earl Brit-
ton at full. Zuppke faces a hard
task in developing ends and tackles
for the Nebraska game.
Over 100 freshmen have reported
for practice and have been going
through light workouts, although
they are not yet in uniform. About
50 more candidates are scheduled to
report before the end of the week.
KINSINGER IS ADDED TO
LAW COLLEGE FACULTY
James W. Kinsinger is the one
new addition made to the faculty of
the Law College for this year. Mr.
Kinsinger is of the law firm of
Frost and Kinsinger, counsel to the
Midwest Life Insurance company.
He has a part time position, and will
teach the subject of quasi-contracts.
Charles A. Robbins, the oldest
member on the law faculty, has
been promoted to full time in the
Law College. To do this, he has
given up his practice in the city,
and he is now devoting all of his
time to the school.
George N. Foster, full time pro
fessor of last year, is now on for
part time. The one subject he is
now handling is trusts. He has ac
cepted a position as counsel for the
Union Automobile Insurance com
pany. No definite registration reports
have as yet come in concerning the
Law College. It is expected, how
ever, that this will be a big year. It
is known that three more girls have
registered in the freshhian class.
This makes a total of five girls now
in the college. It appears that co
education applies to law as well as ,
to the other colleges.
