THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1924 PRICE 5 CENTS REQUEST TICKET LISTS AT ONCE fm.i;te Reservation of . Blocks of Seats Is Necessary SALE SURROUNDED BY SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Any organisation wiihinf to' bar block of seats under tho student athletic system so that ita members may tit together matt tarn is a Mat of purchaser by 5 o'clock today to the Student Athle tic office in tbo Armory. Special precautions are being taken by the committees in charge of the sale of student tickets to prevent the ale of tickets to any others than stu dents. Last year it;was estimated that 1.000 student tickets were in the hands of those not entitled to them, and care will be taken this year to prevent a recurrence of the situa Hon. At the booth east of University Hall, where sale will begin at 8 o clock Monday morning, a list of all students registered will be kept. As each student buys his ticket his name will be checked off. to prevent some one else from buying a ticket under the same name. Registration slips must be present ed at the stand. When the ticket is purchased the slip will be stamped. In case the student has lost bis registra tion slip, certified copy may be obtained at the office of the registrar The names of the members of the hand. N men. ushers and Corncobs will be checked off the student list before it is placed in the booth, so tickets may not be purchased under these names. Tickets Are Economical. "Student tickets save the student 75 percent of the ordinary cost of at tending athletic events and it is not intended that others should be given this advantage," members of the com mittee explained. The sale of tickets for $7.60 that will admit the buyer to athletic events which would ordinarily cost $30, is not particularly profit able, and must be restricted to those entitled to them. Another reason is that the student section must be a real student sec tion. The admission of outsiders to this part of the grandstand would dis organise the cheering body and little in the line of effective yelling could be obtained. A well-organized cheer ing body will help materially to bring victory to the Cornhuskers, and no chances will be taken to jeopardise it Print 4,000 Tickets. Four thousand student tickets have been printed and it is expected that almost this number will be sold. The committee in charge for Tues day, the second day of sales, will be as follows: David Richardson, General Chair man. Blanchard Anderson, 1339 So. 19. Arthur Latta, 1389 So. 19. .

Will Organize Rooting Section of Three Hundred to Direct Cheering One of the regents of the Univer sity, in speaking of the change in the rooting section of the Nebraska stu dents, stated that the games of twen ty years ago were not exciting unless the crowd broke a policeman's leg and threatened to tar and feather an opposing player. "Now," he added, "the excellent control that the cheer leader has over the stands has chang ed the entirei spirit of the institu tion." To further that spirit, an organi zed rooting section of three hundred men will be used as a nucleus for the cheerleader to direct. This sec tion will be greatly respcnsible for the action of the entire body of root ers according to the present plan. It English Scientist to Make Address Here Dr. E. C.

Upson, chairman of the department of chemistry, says, "Dr. Baly's subject will be of in terest to a large number of scien tific men as well as to the general public. Having worked upon the synthetic preparation of carbohy drates he will undoubtedly appeal to a large number of interested workers." Plans are being made for a din ner in honor of Dr. Baly.

It is the first unit planned, but the second will not be constructed for several years. MISSOURI Varsity practice was featured by a more diversified drill. After a fast signal drill the men practiced punting, drop-kicking, place-kicking and kick-off formations with emphasis laid on the latter. Sev eral new formations for receiving the ball on the kick-off were tried but last year's formation was fav ored. Colizer was getting more dis tance on his punts than any other man on the team. is being chosen by a committee ap pointed by the head cheerleader and will receive instructions directly from him before every athletic event. ' The new plan of reserving stu dent athletic tickets has made such a plan possible. This block of seats can be reserved throughout the sea son. An attempt was made a year ago to establish such a section, but with out the reserved seats and without previous instructions from the cheer leader little satisfaction was realized from the attempt. As soon as the committee has fill ed the quota the seats will be paid for and reserved, and men will be given instructions on what will be expected of them at every football game.

The dances were symbolic of the purity, life and food of the Ari kara Indians, a tribe which formerly lived in Nebraska. They are a branch of the Pawnees. These dances lasted nearly five days. Because of their religious and fantastical nature they cannot be given without the permission of the United States Government .Indian agents. The Arikara Indians worked a year preparing for the last dances, declared Professor Alexander. "The Sage Dance, or Dance of Pu rification is really a test of endur ance," he said. "It lasted several days. The men who took part fasted for days in advance. They covered their bodies with a peculiar white clay found hear the reservation and carried sage wands during the dance.

Next summer the tree will be up-rooted, the worn-out moccasins of little children tied to it, and the whole will be thrown into the river to be car ried down-stream. "The Mother of Corn dance is an ancient ceremony which probably originated when maize was first rais ed in this state,"- he said. "Women, principally, take part in it" Three features about the tribe par ticularly interested Professor Alex ander: The number of children, the number of white Indians, and the American army tents in use. "There were many more Indians among the three or four hundred present at the ceremonies who were just as blond as any Scandinavian," he remarked. "Inter-marriage has not hidden the characteristic" "American army tents were used extensively because of their durabil ity. However, the tribal custom of starting house-keeping in a teepee still holds. Wb'le I was there I saw the bridal teepee of a newly married couple. During one of the nights a severe storm arose. The teepee blew down reveral times, but it was the only dwelling that did. COEDS CALL ON DEAN OF WOMEN Dean Amanda Heppner Hold Her Annual Opening Tea for Women.
