Hoff Says.
Reserved seats for University
Players, campus dramatic organi
zation which is to give six major
productions this year, may be se-
cured this week, according to an
nouncements from the dramatic
department of the University.
Large numbers of seats have

to Charles Hoff, business manager
of the Players.
Student season tickets will go on

Faculty members may also pur
chase tickets at $2.00 Public tick
ets for the season will cost $2.40, a
reduction of over 40 percent from
last year's price, which was $1.
Kither a student ticket or a public
ticket entitles the purchaser to at
tendance at the six University
Player's production during the
coming season.
Organized canvassing of stu-
dents and public will begin next
week, and the campaign will be
announced fa Friday's Duily Ne
braskan. Canvassing alumni for the sell
ing of University Players tickets
for the coming season, Charles
Hoff, business manager of the
Players yesterday mailed out 4,000
Wittrs to Nebraska graduates.
Reduction of rates for the com
ing season was stressed in the let
ters, as was the desirability of re
serving tickets at once.
"For seventeen years the Uni
versity Players have presented the
.spoken drama in Lincoln," the let
ter reads. "During this time many
stock companies have come and
gone but these students, gradu
ates, and faculty, year after year,
have given Lincoln the greatest in
modern plays, many having been
presented as soon as released from
Broadway."
"The players are this year at
tempting what many have said to
te impossible. You are being of
fered season tickets six plays
for $2.40, a reduction of forty per
cent over last year's prices. If such
an arrangement brings a satisfac
tory increase in patronage, the
plan will probably be continued."

No New Houses Constructed,
But Number of Resident
Renovations Made.
SEVERAL RE
ORGANIZATIONS
CHANGE HOUSES
, . , ,. i "This block of pavement." said
Several Greek letter groups aielMr geaton ,.is pa'rt (lf a p,an to
beginning the school year with a improve the University campus
change of residence or in houses I and has been delayed because the
remodeled during the summer i original plan of the school was to
.,,, ,,.. lput in two sidewalks from the
months. Although there were no lCohseum mau thl.ollgh t0 R
new houses constructed on the street, and close 12th street for
campus a number of residence ren
ovations were made during the va
cation period.
In keeping with the tren:l
toward living near the campus the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity
moved lrom their old house located
at 1701 K to a newly remodeled
structure at 1519 U. This change is
the most prominent among the im
provements made by Greek letter
groups.
The former house of this frater
nity was a rented one and since
the group owned lots on U street
which were formerly occupied by
two houses it was deemed a wise
move. One of the houses was ade
quate for the needs of the group
and so it was enlarged and remod
eled to suit their needs. The house
was fully remodeled and renovated
into a modified colonial style
home.
The interior of the home as well
as the exterior has been entirely
redone in a color scheme to fit in
with the style of the structure. A
decorative stucco was applied on
the outside of the dwelling along
the terracing and landscaping of
the grounds.
The house is not as yet complete
plans having been laid to erect a
sleeping porch on the south side of
the building. The whole renovation
process was accomplished at the
expenditure of a surprising low
figure.
Phi Omega Pi sorority also
made a number of distinct im
provements on their house. The ex
terior was greatly altered, a porch
on the front of the house having
been torn away. Inside the house
was redecorated and refinished
and a dormitory converted from
upstairs rooms.
The Alpha Tau Omega residence
was given a new coat of paint
along with interior renovations and
changes. The house was redeco'-
ated inside and entirely refinished. !
Another change is that of Phi Al
pha Delta, professional law group,
which mo"ed from it? old dwelling
on 1620 R street to a residence at
1528 M. Improvements were also
made upon the house, including
new decorations and other minor
alternations.
The Sigma Phi Sigma fraternitv
moved from 609 South 17 to 2.r30
Q street. The house now occupied
by this society is the former Tau
Kappa Epsilon Lome of a few
years back. Still another group
making a change is Sigma Alpha
Mu who cnanged their residence
from 1245 J to 1325 R street.

organ of the student body, in
which is vested that autonomy in
student affairs dplegated to the
students by the University senate
to which the council - is alone re

from the council may be carried.
The powers of thi Student Coun

approved in tbe school year 1920

The Student Council shall have
the following powers in so far as

DRASTIC CUT IN
PICTURE
PRICES
F
Twenty Percent Reduction
For Photos Announces
Manager Skade.
PHOTOGRAPHERS READY
Costs in Both Class and
Fraternity Sections
Are Lowered.
An announcement which should
be of vital interest to the students
of the University of Nebraska was
made Tuesday by Charles Sknde,
business manager of the 1!33
Cornhuskcr. "Due to prevailing
economic stress the management
of the book has made it possible
to reduce the price of pictures for
student sections, in some cases
nearly as much as 20 percent," he
said.
According to Skade pictures for
the junior and senior sections have
been cut to three dollars and fifty
cents. Last year pictures for this
division of the book cost each stu
dent four dollars, making a re
duction this vear of fiftv cents.
The pictures that are to appear
In both the junior or senior class
and the fraternity or sorority sec
tions will cost three dollars and
seventy-five cents, which is seventy-five
cents less than last year.
The business manager pointed out
that juniors and seniors who are
fraternity or sorority members
may use the same picture for both
sections by paying an extra twenty-five
cents when their pictures
are taken.
Picture taking will begin imme
diately, as in past years, at both
Hautk's and Townsend's studios.
Skade expressed the belief that in
I view of this year s lower prices
practically every student will be
able to take advantage or the op
portunity to be included in Ne
braska's year book.
"In keeping with present condi
tions, the close figuring on the
part of the photographers in the
city gives us the opportunity to
pass on this reduction to the stu
dent body. We believe that at these
reduced prices everyone will see
fit to have his picture included in
the book," Skade declared, "and
the 1933 Cornhusker will be more
truly a representative book of Ne
braska students."
Group pictures will be taken, as
in former years, at tne campus
studio, which is located in the
greenhouse west of the former
museum.
GATHER AT TEMPLE
Van Pelt, Assistant District
Attorney, Addresses
Group Tuesday.
Twenty-five members of the
Executive Committee of the Uni
versity Republican club and sev
eral faculty members attended a
luncheon at the Temple Tuesday
noon. Mr. Pobert Van Pelt, As
sistant United States District At
torney and Chairman of the Young
Republican club of Nebraska spoke
to the group. John Gepson, co
chairrnan of the club, introduced
the speaker. Jane Robertson an
nounced that Mrs. Dolly Gann,
hostess for Vice President Curtis,
would speak at a meeting at the
City Auditorium on Wednesday
evening of this week at 8 o'clock.
The chief text of Mr. Van Pelt's
speech was the emphasis of the
opportunities ouered to young
people by the Republican party.
Forty-three percent of the voting
population of the United States at
the present time is made up of
young peoplt between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty-five. This
includes the college group. Nine
million voters have come of age
since the last presidential election.
The Republican party, he said, of
fers more to young people than
does the Democratic.
A survey of present state offi
cers, national officers, and all pub
lic officials shows definitely that
a younger group is prevalent in the
Republican party. This is not true
he said, in the Democratic party.

PAVEMENT LAW
A site which competed with
even Social Science hall in draw
ing men students between classes
on Monday was the much eulogized
block of paving in front of Chem-
istry hall. I
About twenty-five overalled
workmen moved back and forth
engaged in the methodical ar
rangement of red bricks on the
concrete foundation. Some effi
ciency expert or perhaps he
should be called the brick-layer's
boon, invented an iron brace made
to hold six bricks at a time. By
means of this device the bricks
were carried from the brick pile
to be laid in even rows awaiting
the frosting of tar.
All morning the workers had an
audience of admiring and perhaps
envious white-collared. book
laden, college men. It is not sur
prising that some students even
cut class to gaze upon the proced
ure. Perhaps, many a degree
seeking bystander secretly hoped
to some day advance to the posi
tion of a steadily employed labor
ing man.

A law suit alleging that the

coal dust and dirt to be scattered
over the property of the plaintiff
was filed in district court Tues
day by Finest H. Holmes, roeery-

Holmes is sueing for $25,000

to prevent these occurences.
He claims that soft coal is used
at the plant and is taken up in an
open elevator and dumped. He
alleges that the heating plant
emits large clouds of smoke and
sooi and fumes, and that sediment
from the plant takes the paint off
of automobiles parked near his

himself and family and interfering
with the operation of his business.

College of agriculture students,
especially, are anxious to see base

attempting to get baseball back
into the athletic program. iney

Says Lowered Price Puts
Tickets Within Rrange
Of Nearly All.
The endorsement of Dean T. J.
Thompson was given the student
athletic ticket campaign, Tuesday
afternoon, when he declared in an
interview that for the first time
in his memory stude nt tickets had
been reduced to a price which put
them within range of nearly every
student.
'Students who purchase season
tickets this year will be getting
value received," Dean Thompson
declares. "Of course I realize that
there are cases where the financial
' situation of particular students is
.' such that the purchase of a ticket
i would not be economically pru-
dent. On the whole, however, I am
jglau to give my hearty endorse
I ment to the student ticket cam-
pnign which is being directed by

cording to Chairman Charles
Skade who reports salesmen in the
contest are optimistic at the spir
ited manner in which a represen
tative section of the student body
is responding to the appeal for
Cornhuskcr support.
"The trips to Dallas, Minnesota,
and K. U. are beginning to look
pretty real to salesmen in the con
test, " Skade said. "Their reports
indicate that nearly every student
in the university will have pur
