Because of the status which th event holds as a new tradition following its reception by some 1,000 persons a year ago, negotia tions will he carried on in the hopes of obtaining a good out of town orchestra, me racuity com mittee's permission was given a loiiows: Grants Approval. "The committee grants approval of the Homecoming party to be held in the Coliseum on Saturday, Oct. 29, 1932, and grants permis sion for employing the services of an out of town orchestra for this particular affair."

Members of Corn Cobs society will also vend tickets for the party. No Other Parties. Norman Galleher, chairman of the Innocents Homecoming party committee, announced late Monday afternoon that special permission had been secured from the Inter fraternity and Panhellcnic coun cils to declare Saturday, Oct. 29, a closed night to all other univer sity social functions. "This was effected in order to insure furtherance of the Home coming party economy program which was begun with the suspen sion of traditional Homecoming decorations," he said. "We realize that were this not a closed night many organizations would feel a moral obligation to sponsor a house party or a downtown party in honor of their alumni. Such a duplication of functions would only mean added expense the very thing which we are trying to avoid this year." Meanwhile negotiations will be carried on for a prominent or chestra and the ticket drive will get underway. DEMOCRATIC MEET Members of the Club Will Gather Tuesday in Social Science.

"Of special interest to all stu dents, Democratic or otherwise, will be a talk by Will Maupin, prominent Omaha newspaperman," said Harmon in making the an nouncement. "Mr. Maupin. who is a feature writer for the Omaha World-Herald, is well-k n o w n throughout Nebraska not only for his popular newspaper stories, but also for his Interesting talks. All who possibly can should make it a point to attend the meeting and hear him express his viqws on the candidates and issues In the com ing election." Interest Greater. With the general election little more than two weeks In the offing, interest in the campaign has be come greater at each meeting, Harmon added. Two factors, he said, have com bined to arouse student interest in politics. The straw vote to be conducted by the Daily Nebraskan on Oct. 26, has done much to de velop this interest. The other fac tor la the debate to be held be tween the Republicans and Demo- crats on the campus in the near future, with an open forum dis cussion after the debate.

The committee proposes to instruct all incoming male students in the matter of wearing freshman caps, attempt ing to persuade all freshmen that the wearing of the scarlet and cream caps is an honor and that it will be best for the men to fol low the tradition set up by the In nocents society. "We expect our real strength to be in the fraternities and organ ized barb clubs," Apking stated in regard to the enforcement of the tradition." Every fraternity and organized barb club has its own disciplinary system and as nearly every organized group has prom ised to co-operate with us, we are sure that most of the affiliated freshmen will wear their caps.
