Many Frehmen Subscribe.
The freshman honorary organiza

Fish, published their approval of the
drive in Sunday's paper and pledged
themselves 100 per cent.
A monster thermometer has been
erected on' the Armory to indicate
the progress of the drive. As the
pledges are made the mercury will
be painted higher and higher until
the quota is subscribed. The cam
paign committees visited fraternity
and sorority houses and the dormi
tories last night so that many fresh
men have already pledged their units.
Only One-fifth Due Now.
The pledges are paid off over a
period of two years, one-fifth of
the amount due now. An additional
fifth of the pledge , becomes due
every six months after the first pay
ment is made.
Other colleges and universities
over the country have built stadiums
on a similar plan. Illinois with an
enrollment of 9,208, is building a
stadium by student and alumni sub
scription, worth $1,800,000; Ames,
with an enrollment of 4,859, built a
million dollar stadium; Kansas, en
rollment of 4,011, subscribed a mil
lion dollars; Minnesota, enrollment
of 8,120, raised two million dollars;
Iowa, enrollment of 4,923, built a
million dollar stadium by subscrip

Sorority Furnishes
Musical Program
The Sigma Alpha Iota sorority of
the University School of Music fur
nished the music for the first Vesper
services of the year at the Y. W. C.
A. Sunday afternoon. The musical
numbers were given by Ruth Lindsey,
Myrtha Lynn, Vera Trine, Mrs. E.
C. Boehmer, Miriam Righter, and
Bcrnice Thompson.
Sing, Nebraska, Sing!
As one professor forcefully remarked the other day at the con
clusion of a pre-class singing fiasco, "That sounds more like a dirge
than a spirited song!"
This professor was correct.
Too often "The Cornhusker" is sung these days with a half
hearted listlessness which serves poorly to illustrate the boisterous
enthusiasm of Nebraska men and women. For a quarter-century
"Tbe Cornhusker" has been Nebraska's defiance in defeat and her
jubilant paean of victory. It is a grand old song.
When you sing it remember the traditions and the record of
your University, pick up the tempo, and let the words roll forth in
a resonant avalanche of sound. It is better not to sing at all than
reduce "The Cornhusker" to a plaintive weakling wail. When yoa
come to those lines:
"Now it roils along in the good old song
For the sons of Nebraski,"
put into them all the vigor, all the spirit, and all the power at your
command. Make the corridors and the halls re-echo with the thun
dering volume bf those thrilling words.
Cheering depends upon numbers for effectiveness, but a handful
of parsons can make "Th Cornhusker" ring out defiance to our
week-end guests. SING IT!
R.0.T.G, ISSUES FIRST
"KORNHUSKER KADET"
"Beat Notre Dame" Is Watch
word of Nebraska Mili
tary Sheet.
"The Kornhusker Kadet," a four
page mimeographed publication of
the Nebraska unit of the R. O. T. C,
has made its first appearance on the
campus. The publication is issued
for all cadets and officers and is full
of military news. The Kadet makes
its initial appearance on the eve of
the Notre Dame battle and its watch
word is "Beat Notre Dame."
The publication is best charac
terized by an editorial comment ap
pearing in this first issue. "This
sheet will always be informal. From
time to time the Kadet should ex
pand and change its content, but al
ways with one purpose in view it
will be for Nebraska first, last and all
the time."
A publication of the military de
partment has been long needed, cadet
officers say, but not until this year
was the proposition seriously con
sidered.
Robert F. Qraig, cadet colonel,
was in charge of the first publica
tion. "A staff of juniors will soon
be appointed to handle the writing
of the pep sheet," said Colonel Craig
yesterday. The Kadet will be a semi
monthly publication
An increasing spirit of unity in the
cadet regiment as the closest organ
ization of Nebraska underclassmen
was pointed out in the Kadet.
"Swagger sticks have been ac
cepted as a part of the equipment of
the seniors in the department," the
sheet notes.

$500 note which has been carried
over from last year. The total oper
ating budget for the year was set
at $1,475, and the officials in charge
of the drive expect that Tuesday's
report will raise the total to this
amount.
"We are very well pleased with
the work which has been done by the
campaign teams and with the results
of the campaign. Approximately
600 men have given their money to
support the Y. M. C. A. and its ac
tivities on the University campus. We
feel that with the money that has
been raised in this campaign that
the Y. M. C. A. will be able to be of
even greater service to the students

south of the station driveway and
turned north on Sixteenth. He said
that when he returned east on N

posedly saw him because one of them
stepped back and the other two
jumped in front of the car. He tried
to dodge them and swung the car
to the north, striking the curb. The
car was slightly damaged.
Miss MeieT is registered in the
Teachers College and Miss Parks in
