'Wearing of the Green' Will Start Todau After Freshman Convocation (By Bill McCleery) Nebraska's campus will be beau ,ifled this afternoon with the' ap I&rance of nearly a thousand feen caps. This number of fresh en should have their caps after ronvocatlon this morning. "heihiT golf hose and sweaters will be ordered to match the head far Is not definitely known us yet. Green caps are very sensible. They are nearly large enough to 'y on the headVin a slo'v breeze. The bills are so constructed that the very slightest mist encourages hem to curl up artistically. They leve the ears entirely out in the co'd to collect sleet, snow and Dty remarks. One consolation, of ot-se, ii found In the fact that n may always borrow a friend's 'P when his own becomes to dis putable to wear in public.

According to reports from the subscription department the sub scriptions this year are coming in faster than last year. A goal, how ever, has been set that has not yet been reached. E AT Total of 3,319 Students Present During Two Past Sessions A total of 3319 students attended j the summer school of the univer sity during the two sessions the past summer. Of this number 2980 I attended the first session and 1219 the second session. Some students j attended both sessions, making the grand total of uii repeated names 3319. Last year there vere 3401 ! students In the two terms of sum- mer school. This year the enroll- i nient was as follows. Including 201 repeated names: Agriculture, 113: arts and sciences, 572; business ad ministration, 96: dentistry. 15; pre- dental, 3; engineering. 69; tine arts, 135:' journalism, 17; law, 31; prelaw, 22; medicine. 70; pre-roed- lcal, 20; pharmacy, 19; teachers. 1750; and graduate, 598. It Is es timated that the enrollment In the graduate college during the past terms of the summer school Is ap proximately SO per cent of the total enrollment for the year. Director K. D. Morltz of the summer ses sion, basing his estimate on figures complied from many of the leading schools, believes that the satura Hon point has been reached in sura mer schools, many of the leading schools showing a decrease, and others but a small Increase. . Graduate Student List In Chemistry Increases Dr. Fred I'pson, chairmaa of the chemwtry department, reports a much'larger number of graduate students this year than last. Thirty-five graduate students are reg istered In this department, making an Increase of fifty percent over last year. Schulte Will Address Lions at Noon Today Ciaeli Henry F. Schulte will be speaker Thursday noon at the luncheon of the Lions club at the chamber of commerce. He will talk on the Olympic games. need to go out In (he rain without slickers henceforth. The new stu dents will be stamped and labeled as "frosh." Scientists suspect that the "wear ing of the green" caps tends to en courage bald-headedness, but that is considered a trifle. Freshmen are encouraged to get colds before to morrow noon so that they will not be blamed on the green caps. "Will they fade?" inquired a freshman In the "Rag" office. The answer U yes. Yes, yes, yes. They most certainly will fade at the slightest provocation. A rule should be passed that no freshman be allowed to wash his neck and ears without taking off this halr-re-mover. As for cake-lncllne freshmen, they will disappear from the rating ranks for an Indefinite period. The actual purpose of green ccps is to make the new lads I look silly, so that their upper:lassmen will have a chance at the freshman girls. This Is unjust, s.'td romething should be done about It. However, trench . coats look about as silly as green caps anyway. on saee tomorrow Extra Help Will Be on Hand To Accommodate Crowd Quickly EXPECT LARGE DEMAND One of the greatest rushes for student activities tickets in the his tory of the university is expected when they are offered for sale Fri day morning. Both the regular stu dent activities tickets a ad the rooters' section tickets will be put on sale. Extra office help is being ar ranged for by the student activities office, and the crowd will be accom modated as quickly as possible. Lines will probably be formed hours before the opening of the of fice, and It will be only a matter of a few hours before the greatest number of the tickets will be sold. Provision, however, will be made to take care of all students wish ing to get the tickets. Price I $8.50 The price of the tickets will be $8.50 and" they will give admittance to the holder for all university ath letic contests. The purchaser will get a pad of tickets for the football games only tomorrow, with a stub which may be presented later in the season for tickets to the bas ketball gamesand other athletic of ferings. Not only does the holder of the student activities ticket get a re served seat for all home football games, but he also gets a reserved seat in the coliseum for the entire basketball season. In former years Nebraska was forced to schedule eight or nine games away from home, while this year in the new conference, the requirement is ouly five, giving the athletic department an opportunity to schedule a more attractive home list of games. PARTY APPOINTMENTS Meeting Scheduled Today To Select Joint Heads Of Committees At last night's meeting of the Student Council, the business of appointing Varsity Party sub-chairmen was tabled1 until the next meeting scheduled for today at 5 o'clock. The large number of ap plications submitted for these posi tions caused delay In the checking of eligibilities and was given as the reason for tabling the Dusiness. More than sixty applications were received for eleven positions of joint chairmanships' open. Fil ings closed Wednesday noon. Donald Porter, Dental, '30. was appointed by the Council to fill the vacancy left by Eugene Dyer as the Student Council representative of the College of Dentistry. At the spring election. It will be remem bered. Porter and Dyer received an equal number of votes. It was then agreed that a flipped coin should decide the position and Dyer won. Dyer is this year attending the University of Southern California. Book Men Wade In a Barrage of SUly Questions The Regent's book store has been a veritable beehive of activity since the beginning of school. The business this year has exceeded that of any previous year, says J. C. Whalen, manager. Other book stores report a rushing business. The average student has a very vague Idea of just what book he wants. "I want a Spanish book. It's red," Is a common request. "I want a book for an English course." "What Is the title and who is the author? "I dunno." . "What Is the number of the course?" "Ml bite." "Who's the prof?" "Some old guy." Such are the trials and tribula tions of the bookstore clerk. Another source, of worry Is the student who wants to return a book because he has found a cheaper one to buy. Moreover, he has usually written In his name, address and life history, which does anything but enhance Its sal ability. Sophomore Women Hold 'Get Acquainted' Party Sophomore commission, a group of women representing each sor ority on the campus, gave a get acquainted party" at Ellen Smith hall last night at 5 o clock.

Kansas Gets Real Jayhawk From Tropics The Jayhawk has only been a picture, a symbol to stir Imagina tion, or to decorate suit cases, store windows and university pub lications. Is alive. The bird that has represented K. U.'s athletic team through the years of sports history has appeared in flesh and feathers on the campus. The bird is a toucan, brilliantly colored, and fits In perfectly with the description which all Kansas students and alumni sing annually In the famous "I'm a Jayhawk" song. The bird Is living at the PI Up silon house, the property of Tom Caffey. It was- sent to Caffey from Nicaragua by Mrs. Robert W. Voeth and daughters who were there with Major Voeth of the United States Marine Corps. Caffey hopes that his pet, which he has named "Chalklc" after the famous Rock Chalk yell, eventually will become the mascot of the Jay hawker football team this season "Chalkle is a tropical bird who lives largely on fruit, but he will have to learn to eat a little meat If he gets the mascot job.

The 1928 1929 lnterfraternlty con tests will be similar to those which were competed in during the year 1927-28. A program of events scheduled by Lewis include corape tion among the fraternities in bas ketball, track and field meets, hare and hound races, horseshoes, ten nis, baseball, water polo, and other minor sports. Wrestling and box ing are also Intramural sports, but are competed in by Individuals rep resenting their respective frater nities. f Basketball Is Popular In 1927-28 an all-University box ing tournament was held as well as the intramural tournament and awards were made to winners in their respective classes. Of the in tramural activities. basketball claims the most entrants. Each fraternity is allowed to enter one "A" class team and one "B" class team. Nebraska scarlet and cream wall skins were aw-arded for first and second places in all intramural con tests prior to last year. Jimmy Lewis last year awarded bronze plaques to winners of first place in the various intramural sports. The nlaaues were mounted on mahog any and make a more appropriate gift for the fraternity, according to Lewis. JlnWy says he ,has " some red hot dope on Intramurals that he is going to spring on us this year. Watch for It: SUP L Secretary Gives Reasons Pro and Con on Change School Control In a five minute talk to school for the League of Women Voters Wed-, nesday afternoon. Miss Anna B. Cameron, executive secretary of the Nebraska Conference for So cial Work, summed up the argu ments for and against the referen dum regarding the removal of the schools for Uie deaf and blind from under the direction of the board of control and placing them under the board of regents of the University of Nebraska. Miss Cameron quoted Karl Kehm of Omaha, who started the move ment, as saying that the principal reason for wishing the change was that the board of control is feltlo be a penal and correctional Institu tion and the schools feel that they should be placed under an educa tional Institution. Quoting Prof. Hattle Plum Wil liams of the University of Nebraska sociology department, three chief reasons were given by Miss Cam eron against the referendum. First, It Is a bad precedent and a bad ad ministrative practice to make the board of regents a catch all. Sec ondly, constant supervision of the additional schools would require either the. division of services of several university officials or the hiring of an additional man. Thirdly, one Is a specialized form of elementary education and the other is a generalized form of hlgheteducatlon: there Is no sim ilarity between the two. Nebragkan Escapes Fury Of Southern Hurricane A. E. Sheldon, superintendent of the Slate Historical society, re ceived word today from his daugh ter. Miss Ruth Sheldon, in West Palm Beach, Florida, stating that the was well and uninjured after the recent hurricane which passed over the city.

'Doc' Weather Sends Cold Breezes And Rain During First School Days (By Don Carlson) With no more noise and disturb ance than a Kappa makes while climbing the old Iron fire escape any Saturday night after 12:15, the tide of temperature has changed from a sweltering beat to a biting cold and fall is upon us. Think of itl The campus has discarded that summer atmosphere of white flan nels, rolled up sleeves and summer students for the permanent attire. Summer school produces no Cora husker football teams so that .must be why wr prefer to go to school in the fall. Well, anyway, we're here-, .but the pathetic part of it all, the picnic season Is over. No doubt you've beard the story of the Gamma Phi who was clothed In a slicker, ran from An drews hall to the Temple building and got wet. According to Blair, the university weather man, our picnic season Is over. No longer can we borrow the open air Ford (style-plus), buy a couple box lunches and hie off to the open spaces (not Pen woods). Since the dark fall days have hit us, when all the little green leaves are folding up and blowing away like a 1927 Stetson, the electric light bills for the sorority houses 11 THOUSAND WILL TAKE OATH AT CONVOCATION Everything Is Prepared for Initiation in Coliseum This Morning CLASSES ARE EXCUSED Speeches, Music.

Thompson, dean of student affairs, has announced that all freshmen will be excused from 10 and 11 o'clock classes this morning to attend the convocation. A pro gram consisting of talks by promin ent members of the university fac ulty, cheers, and selections by the R. O. T.

This night is closed to all dances, but will be a gala night, as many interesting and amusing programs are being prepared for this oc casion. On this night every church In Lincoln will entertain the stu dents, except the Unitarian. Cards are posted about the campus desig nating the meeting places. It is the desire of the church of ficials that the professors, the stu dents, and all connected with the University In any way will come to the recfptlons, and the largest crowd in history is being expected this year It Is hoped also that all the students will attend their churches on All -University Church Sunday, October 7.

Mer chants say that trench coats are THE stuff. "Get one and belong to the Joe colltge clan," reads one of the "Kag" ads. They're hot. Everyone admits It. In spite of the fact that he Is going to wear bis last year's top coat again, (tears or no tears). The only catch In the deal Is the fact that all the boys look alike and Phi Mus can't get their freshmen blind datel from a molten mass of humanity poured in trench coats, that's evi dent! What the girls are wearing for the fall mode Is a problem. No one seems to know, but with the ap proaching cold weather, with the rain pouring down in sheets (the laundry song), something more htn got to be worn. Collegiate flivvers, the world's worst protection from rain and cold, are .getting more nu merous than students in the Moon between classes. Imagine finding your best girl frozen In a snowdrift some wintry morning. Not to be sentimental, of course. This is go ing on forever.
