four less subscriptions than the lead
er, Is running a close second, and
Alpha Omlcron PI has dropped to
third. Delta Delta Delta, Phi Omega

and will not be decided until the last
minute of the contest.
Raise Price Tomorrow.
As the campaign closes at 4 o'clock
today, this is the last chance for stu
dents to get Cornhuskers at the price
of $4.50. Two dollars and fifty cents
paid now will reserve an annual for
any student The price is to be
raised tomorrow, but the exact figure
has not yet been determined.
All books must be checked in by
competitors between 4 and 7 o'clock
today. Any organization or individ
ual who has not checked in by this
time will be penalized.
The two winning organizations
and the six highest individuals will
not be made public until Sunday,
when they will be announced in The
Daily Nebraskan. First prize will be
awarded immediately afterward.
Plan Student-life.
"Plans for the 1925 Cornhusker
are even better than those of last
year," said Robert Lang, business
manager yesterday. The most inter
esting section of the book for stu
dents is the student-life " section,
which will be called 'Mirrors of Ne
braska.' This part of the annual is
to be all that the name implies, and
will contain about twenty more pages
than it has in former Cornhuskers.
Several students are working on this
section, and already articles have
been turned in. It will be a real student-life
section, one that every stu
dent should be anxious to see.
"The 1925 Cornhusker will con
tain seven pages of three-color pro
cess, something that a Nebraska an
nual has never contained before. Ex
quisite art work and many pictures
will make the book the most inter
esting annual Nebraska has ever pub
lished." JUNIORS ASKED TO
PICK PHOTOGRAPHS
Staff Will Make Selections on
Seventy-five Unless Proofs
Returned.
Juniors who have had their pic
tures taken for the Cornhusker, but
who have not made selections from
the proofs are requested to do so
at once. Seventy-five proofs have
not been returned, the photograph
ers declare, and unless they are in
the "studios by Saturday, the Corn
husker staff will make the selec
tions. Some of the very first to have
their photographs taken are among
the offenders.
Nearly all of the pictures have
been finished and are ready for
mounting. The junior section closed
a week ago. The Hauck and Town
send studios took all of the pictures.
Seniors and sororities wishing to
have sittings before Christmas must
assure the photographers that they
will order additional pictures for
themselves. Otherwise the studios
will take no more pictures until after
the holidays.

GIVEN TO FULL HOUSE
"Whispering Wires," a three-act
mystery drama by Kate McLaurin,
was presented by the University

the first performance of three to be
given this week. The promise that
it would be better than "The Bat"
was almost fulfilled.
Hart Jenks. nlavinar the leading
role of Monttromery Stockbridge, did
the most outstanding work, although
his part required him only during the
first act Darrell Starnes, as the de
tective, carried the clay most of the
time after that, although the work of
Delia Wetherhogg and Neva Jones
was good.
The nlav deals with a rich man
who has been threatened with death.
The action throughout is stirring and
moves fast. Not until late in the last
act does the mystery become solved.
Dwicht Merriam. playing as Barry
McGill, and William Norton as Jack
son, had two of the other leading
male roles. The entire cast follows:
Montgomery Stockbridge Hart
Jenks.
Barry McGill Dwight Merriam.
Mr. Bennett Harold Sumption.

the coming convention.
The report emphasized the tradi
tional attitude of loyalty and service
to the country on the part of the
land-grant colleges end deplored any
ill-considered pacifist tendency which
would weaken such loyalty. Going
into some minor details the report
urged the commutation of uniforms

erly uniformed.
A (let Act of Congreii.
The report urged an act of Con

work outside of the R. O. T. C. units.
It urged the War Department to per
mit officers detailed to universities
to remain in the service as long as

Five companies will be playing

Patterson Pictures
To Be Hung Today
'Howard Ashman Patterson's ex
hibition of his oil paintings of the
Southwest, a collection of about
thirty-five or forty canvases, has
arrived and will be hung this
morning. Tho exhibition will be
open to the public for tho next
two weeks from 3 to 5 o'clock on
Sundays, all day Saturday and
from 0 to 12 other days.
The paintings of Patterson sug
gest a man who has dared to see
California as it really is, and who
has likewise the technic to fit the
necessities of expression. The
paintings are not the conventional
scenes that painters so often place
on canvas but are of a simpler and
more natural character.
"In the Morning," is a rain
scene, with a spirit of dignity and
peace. "Long Peak" is painted in
its rough reality, without the pain
ful dignity so often seen in its
depiction. Other scenes are laid
in California and in New Mexico.
Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are ex
pected here next week.

AGGIES EXPECT VICTORY
special train is being run by the
U Aggie Homecoming.
The crowd is expected to be the
largest of the year, for this will be
the Aggie homecoming. Old grads
from many states are planning to re
turn to look over the school and see
the big game.
Registration for the caravan has
not been heavy so far, and those in
charge believe that there are many
who plan to go who have not yet reg
istered. One or two busses will also
make the trip. A pathfinder car will
lead the line and an auto ambulance
will follow.
Tickets ai'e on sale at Latsch
Brothers, and all students are asked
to get their tickets before leaving
Lincoln. Otherwise they cannot be
obtained in the special Nebraska sec
tion.
Dopesters are favoring the Corn
huskers to win the game, but compar
ative scores give little encourage
ment. The Aggies and Nebraska
both beat Kansas U by a one-touch
down margin. Missouri conquered
the Aggies, although outdowned and
outyarded, while Nebraska beat Mis
souri in a game in which the Huskers
were rather lucky.
