year, it was the largest convocation
held in the Armory. The custom of
havinir the men and women meet in
different places has been abolished
and the two meetings are to be com
bined.

new students. Opportunity to learn,
"The Cornhusker," Nebraska's offici
al field song, and the other songs

given. Official yell leaders will be
on hand to help in giving the fresh
men their first real knowledge of Ne
braska spirit.
The Nebraskan will be the place
where the date of the convocation
will be first announced. All first
year men and women are urged to
keep watch, as a 100 per cent at
tendance of freshmen is essential.

year wil be held at B p. m. Tuesday,
in Ellen Smith hall, under the aus
pices of the Y. W. . A. cabinet. The
members of the cabinet will be host

No Chancre in Status
of Student Council
To Students of the University:
There has been no change what
ever in the status of the Student
Council from last year. Various
proposals have been considered
but no action has been taken.
The statement in yesterday's
Nebraskan covering authorization
of general drives for money is, in
so far as the council is concerned,
merely a repetition of an order is
sued December 20, 1922.
The functions of the Student
Council other than in the above
remained as defined in the cata
log. Any conflict of authority be
tween the Student Council and
other organizations or agencies
will be referred for settlement to
the Faculty Committee on Student
organizations.

TO BEGIN SALE
OF GREEN GAPS
ON WEDNESDAY
Sale of Caps and of Tickets
on Campus v Will Be in
Charge of Innocents and
Iron Sphinx.
SPHINX MEET TO PLAN
ENFORCEMENT OF RULE
Will Make Check on All Year
lings to Insure. Uniform
Observance of Nebraska
Tradition.
Wednesday will be the first day
of the sale of green caps to Fresh
men boys, instead of Tuesday as
previously announced. The caps will
be on sale at the Magee Clothing
company at 12th and O streets.
Tickets will be sold on the campus
wich will entitle the bearer to a cap
if presented at Magee's.
The Maeee Clothing company has
been kind enough to furnish the caps
at cost to the Innocents and to
handle the sale of the caps. The
sale will be under the direction of
the innocents and will be carried out
by the Iron Sphinx.
At a meeting of the Iron Sphinx
held Friday evening at the Kappa
Sigma house plans for the enforce
ment of the Nebraska tradition were
made. It is planned to make a check
of all freshmen so that the green
cap rule may be strictly enforced.
According to the Innocents it is
advisable that every first year man
provide himself with one of the
emerald headpieces as soon after the
sale starts as possible. The sale oi
the tickets on the campus win De
in charge of the Iron Sphinx and
pvprv member of the sophomore
honorary will be provided with some
of the tickets. The cost of the ticK-
ets and the caps will be 75 cents.
The wearing of the gren caps
hv the freshmen has been a tradi
tion at Nebraska for many years.
The idea originateU not as a bit of
hazing but because of a desire to
unify the freshman class. The caps
introduce into the new class a feel
ing of solidarity and of unity that is
otherwise missing. The Innocents
and the other organizations enforc
ing the green cap tradition hope to
tbVi it clear to the first year men
that it is enforced not because of any
desire to punish them but because it
is felt that the green caps will be an
introduction to school and to class
spirit.

Subscribe.
Approximately 100 co-ed solicit

1,400 additional subscribers are ex

one to attend the institution and
have even a fairly adequate idea of
what is going on in this school and
not take The Daily Nebraskan," he
says.
The subscription price remains the
same this year -as it was the past
year, in spite of the fact that the
size of the paper has been greatly
augmented.
The cost is $2 a year, or $1.25 a
semester, and may be taken either
way. A saving of fifty cents is
effected by taking the publication
for an entire year.
Three booths will be erected on
the campus, and members of the
various sororities are taking each
booth for a four hour period. Pen
nants signifying that the wearer has
subscribed are being distributed to
