REVIVE CUSTOM
OF HELLO WEEK
AFTER ABSENCE
Many Campus Organizations
Support, Endorse It
As Tradition.
TO LAST UNTIL FRIDAY
Week Originally Backed by
Two First Year
Honoraries.
Yesterday marked the first an
niversary of the rebirth of an old
university tradition. "Hello Day,"
reinstated upon the Nebraska cam
pun last autumn after years of ab
Mcncc, has returned to the campus
in the form of "Hello Week."
"Hello Week" will continue offi
cially until Friday, September 30,
Last night. Corn Cobs, mens
pep organization, made a canvass
of fraternity and sorority houses
to raise spirit In reviving: the cus
tom. Mortar Board, campus senior
honorary is soliciting faculty mem
bers to speak to freshmen.
Expect Co-operation.
The A. W. S. board, sponsoring
the tradition, expect all students
and faculty members to speak to
all freshmen met on the campus.
Concluding the freshman convoca
tion, which was held last Thuis
day, freshman men and women
wore dlnas and red and white but
tons. Yesterday was the first day
of official friendship between up
perclassmen and new students.
"Hello" was the word of the day,
Hnd no sophomore, junior, or senior
passed wlihout it.
Definite action is being taken by
the backers of the movement to
make "Hello Week" a worthwhile
tradition at the University of Ne
bilfcka. In other large schools
throughout the country, It is an
event of long standing, looked for
v:ird to with a great deal of sat
isfaction.
Hello Week" on the Nebraska
campus is the outgrowth of a tra
dition which flourished for a short
time years ago. At that time, the
event lasted but one day and was
hac ked by Mystic Fish, and Green
Goblin, freshmen honoraries.
Lacked Support.
Its failure was due, according to
faculty members, to-lack of sup
port which should have been given
by organized groups. On the whole,
students were in favor of the plan
one professor stated, but' since it
whs sponsored only by freshman
organizations, it was doomed to
death before it started. Both of
the sponsoring clubs, Mystic Fish
and flreen Goblin, have followed
the same path and are now non
existent.
Plans for the rejuvenated tradi
tion were drawn up la.st year by
the A. W, S. board during its con
vention in Detroit. This years
board, assisted by members of
Mortar Board, have revised the
schedule for the occasion to make
it five days in length. The funda
mental ideas are to promote
friendliness and democracy within
the student body.

Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A. Budgets
Cut by Decreased
Income.
Reductions in the apportionment
of the Lincoln Community Chest
for the year 1933 have drastically
reduced the budgets of the Univer
sity Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
necessitating cuts of from 15 to
30 percent.
The apportionment for thi1
Y. M. C. A.- has been cut from
$2,140 in 1932 to $1,486, or a re
duction in the budget of 30 per
cent. The total budget is $4,811.80,
of which $1,486 is received from
the chest, the remainder coming
from other sources such as stu
dents and friends.
For the Y. W. C. A. the reduc
tion has nut been quite as large,
as their total budget is smaller
than that of the Y. M. C. A. Their
apportionment for 1933 is $1,113
reduced from $1,527 in 1932. re
quiring a cut in the budget of
about 15 percent. Their total
budget is $2,967.50. Ordinarily the
chest carries about 50 percent of
the budget but It has been found
necessary to reduce the apportion
ments this year.
Use Local Speakers.
C. D. Hayes, general secretary
of the university Y. M. C. A. had
the following comment on the sit
nation: "The figures for this
vear's budget are based on the as
sumption that gifts from students
and others interested will be as
generous as last year. Otherwise
this reduced budget will not be
met. This will cripple the two or
ganizations in certain parts of
their work, especially the matter
of bringing in outside speaaers.
An attempt will be made to partly
make up for this by using local
speakers."
"The cabinets of the two organ
izations." he stated, "will use their
ingenuity in devising types of pro
grams that are helpful and yet not
expensive for the students or or
ganizations. This will be especially
true in the entertainment fea
tures." Start New Policy.
A new policy has been inugur-
ated this year in the Y. W. c. A.
in the enrollment of new members,
the enrollment being made in both
the faculty and students, accord
ing to an announcement by Miss
Berneice Miner, secretary oi iuc
Y. W. C. A. "Students may become
a memoer Dy paying me mium
membership fee of $2 which en
titles the mto membership thruout
their college life," said Miss Mil
ler. "During their upper class
days they are solicited for free v. ill
offerings. Faculty women and

"Gate-crashers" aro common at

two who can boast of navlng
slipped through the portals of the
Vhlte House and shaken hands
with the president.
Byron Cherry, Courlland, and
Ernest Asmus, Hastings, aro the
favored students. They left Lin
coln August 4, Intending to hitch
hike to Washington, but found
It was mostly hitch and little hike.
Covering the some s I x thou
sand miles in. one month at a cost
of about thirty dollars apiece, they
estimated the total hiking dis
tance to be about fifteen miles.
Upon arriving In Washington
they looked thu town over and
then decided to do the same to the
president, will tl 'y did (after
having been r i. 1 entrance ad
mission by the i"i forces of Sen'
ators Norrls uud Howell and cool'
lug their heels for several hours
outside the offices of the presl
dent's receiving secretary) by
coolly attaching themselves to a
selected group of hnndshnkcrs
being sponsored by Senator Davis
or Pennsylvania.
But far be It from a Nebraska
collegian to be Impressed by a
mere presidential interview.
"i was very much disappointed
in him. He did everything !n mich
a mechanical style there was no
kick to it. I was surprised to see
how sallow he was. His face was
deeply furrowed. When he shook
hands be merely touched my
hand," was the remark made by
Cherry.
In fact, the boys undoubtedly
get more "kick" out of being back
slapped by fellow students in the
"Moon" than conversing with the
chief executive of the United
States.

Interfraternity Conference
Reports Decrease in
Initiates.
URGE CUTS IN EXPENSES
Depression has caused such a
steady decline in the number of
college fraternity initiates for two
years that the Greek letter organ
izations are taking systematic
economy 'measures this fall to pre
serve their status, according to the
United press. Figures compiled by
the intertratcrnity conference
from national fraternities show a
3.1 percent decrease in initiates
for 1929-1930 over the previous
year and a 14.4 percent decrease
from that la.st year. A decrease of
14.1 percent this year in the num
ber of sorority pledges at Kansas
State college and similar reports
from other southwestern schools
inuieate that the drop may bo as
great again this year. A drop in
fraternity strength as well as dis
agreement among the Greeks Is
blamed for the election for the
first time in many years of a non-
fraternity man as student presi
dent at the University of Missouri.
James Freedman, a Kansas City
"barb," was elected over two frat
ernity men.
Sober minded fraternity officers,
however, are concerned more this
year with maintaining their own

PRINCIPLES OF CLUB
Support Party Candidates;
Organization to Be

Representatives of the Young
Democratic club organized on the
Nebraska campus recently, sub
mitted to the Daily Ncbraskan on
Monday a statement of the princi
ples anJ aims of the organization.
Both the Young Democratic club
and the Young Republican club
have submitted constitutions to
the Student council which will
consider them and if they meet re
quirements for student organiza
tions will recognize the two so
cieties. The statement of the Young
Democratic club follows:
"The purpose of the Young
Democratic Clubs of America is
two-fold. First, "to instill and pre
serve in the Young People of the
United States an interest in gov
ernmental affairs and to further
the ideals of the Democratic
Party." Second, to educate young
and first voters in the principles
of the democratic party and to
arouse in them a sense of individ
ual responsibility as citizens for
the conduct of government. This
objective will be approached thru
providing an opportunity for ac
tual participation in party affairs.
It will seek to interest young peo
ple in the possibilities of political
action and will train them in its
technique.

PAPER TO LIST SIGNERS
Business Manager Stresses
Magazine's Need of
Student Backing.
Block subscriptions to the Aw
gwan were put on sale Monday
evening when speakers visited ail
fraternities and sororities during
the dinner hour and solicited stu
dent support of the humor maga
zine. Members of the business staff of
the magazine, and members of
Sigma Delta Chi, who made the
talks stressed the grave necessity
of whole hearted response from
the organized groups if the Aw
gwan is to continue publication.
"Solicitors were instructed to
emphasize the absolute need for
getting the entire campus behind
the Awgwan," Business Manager
Otto Kotouc declared Monday
night, "and unless we have that
support, the campus will simply
have to get along without a humor
magazine, for continued publica
tion depends entirely on whether
fraternities and sororities respond
with their .subscriptions."
The block offer being made this
year, as described on tne sunscrip
tion blanks distributed Monday
niulit includes one group of twen
ty-five subscriptions lor tne nine
issues to be puonsnea ouring me

the $20 cost or tms suoscription
will be deducted if the sum is paid
within ten days after Monday,
Sept. 2li.
As in past years, the Daily Ne-
braskan will publish a daily an
nouncement of groups which have
subscribed. A boxed list of names
will appear each day until the end
of the drive.

for the group meetings. Marion
Smith will explain the freshman
activities group sponsored by the
A. W. S.
In the Big Sisters room it will
be discovered what girls are desir
ous of having big sisters, and
members of this organization will
be assigned to freshmen. Ruth
Cherney. a member of the board,
will find out and file for future
reference the activity in which
each girl is most interested.
The W. A. A. has planned a
sports room decorated with posters
to show what intramural sports
will be offered throughout the
year. In this room girls who have
not already affiliated with some
group will be given a chance to
sign up for a sport in which she
is interested.
In the Y. W. C. A. room girls

TO CHECK STAFF
ELIGIBILITY SOON
Work Progresses on Annual;
Dummy Book Being
Prepared.
A general checkup of eligibility
of applicants for staff positions on
the 11)33 Cornhusker has begun, it
wns learned in the office of the
Cornhusker Monday afternoon. In
terest in extra curricular activities
this year, which has been much
greater than usual, would seem to
be responsible for the record
breaking number of applications
filed during the past week.
Since eligibility of each appli
cant must be checked before ap
pointments can be made it will be
a few days before a complete list
of the new staff members can be
obtained, Spencer said. University
rulings equire that, in order to be
eligible for staff positions, each
student must have sophomore
standing and be carrying satisfac
torily at least twelve hours at the
present time. The list will prob
ably appear in Sunday's issue of
the Daily Nebraskan.
Start Work.
Actual work on the new book is
getting off to a good start and, in
the belief of the editor, will be in
fu'l swing by tho middle of next
week. R. R. Maplesden tit tne
Buri-er-Baird Engraving Co. of
Kansas City, will be in Lincoln
next week to confer with the edi
tor in regard to the final plans of
the publication.
The dummy book is being pre
pared by his company and will be
ready when he comes to complete
the nlans. Other work in the edi
torial department will have been
started within the next few days.
The feature section was started
last Friday evening when a pic
ture of the dancing crowd at Ante
lope Park was taken. This picture
will be published in the Daily Ne
braskan. Definite plans for the taking of
organizations' pictures, which will
start next week, will be announced
in the near future.
' Secure Contracts.
Charles Skade, business man-'
ager, announced that national ad
vertising contracts arc beginning
to come in. As soon as his stall'
is completed tne real work of that
department will begin, he said.
"If there are any .students who
have not yet applied nt the Corn
husker and intend to do so, they
will have to come in today," Spen
cer declared, "because nn applica
tions will be received after four
o'clock this afternoon."

Sold During Last

Salesmen.
With a sales record of some
thing like 650 tickets for the first
week of the drive, 150 contestants
in tho Cornhusker athletic ticket
campaign will gather at tho Grand
hotel tomorrow noon. They will
hear speeches by track coach,
II. F. Schulte, Dr. T. J. Thomp
son, dean of students affairs; Dr.
K. D. Scott, of tho athletic board;
and Dr. G. K. Condra, faculty ad
viser to tho Innocents society,
during tho noon hour.
The first sprout on tho stalk of
Cornhusker student spirit in front
of Social Science building appeared
Monday aiternoon when the maize
leaped to a height of 600 student
purchasers, according to Charles
Skade, chairman of the Innocents
society In charge of the campaign.
200 Over Week-End.
Tallies last Friday indicated
that about 400 tickets had been
sold at that time," Skade ex
plained. "The reason for the extra
ordinary spurt of 200 over the
week end may be explained by the
increaseu interest which Corn
husker fans have shown since last
Saturday's Varsity-Nubbins scrim
mage.
"As the opening game of the
season approaches students are
beginning to realize that their
presence id Nebraska athletic con
tests is a part of their obligation
to the school and that it is the
best recreation which Lincoln has
to offer," he declared.

Beginning Wednesday after
noon, non-affiliatea students will

Monday evening letters perti
nent to the campaign were read in
the chapter meetings of the vari
ous fraternities and sororities upon
their receipt from the office of
