Book Store Has Been Serving
Students for Over
a Year.
Y. W. C. A. book swap shop
which has been serving students a
year and a half, opened again this

J. D. Epp Predicts
Additional Work
For Job Seekers
The Lincoln Junior Chamber of
Commerce and the Alumni Asso
ciation, working in conjunction
with the student employment bu
reau, are making available a con
siderable number of new jobs to
be secured by students this year
according to J. U. Kpp, secretary
of the student employment bureau.
This special co-operation from the
two organizations is expected to
lead to the placing or a numoer
of students heretofore without
work. The positions will call for
only part time work.
"A student should not become
discouraged too quickly, even tho
the problem seems rather large
for some period of time," stated
Mr. Epp, "Jobs and placements for
room, board, or both," Mr. Epp
continued, "are constantly shift
ing. Some positions are vacated,
and new ones opened, making
room for those n hom the pros
pect looks hopeless."
Four nundreu i.. vty-eight appli
cations for part time work had
been filed with the bureau by
Sept. 14 this year an increase of
almost 200 over the 1933 figures
of 316. In 1933, 30 percent of the
applicants fo the bureau received
steady employment. Mr. Epp es
timated that approximately the
same percentage may be employed
this year altho aid from the two
organizations may result in an in
crease. Approximately 40 percent of
men students work somewhere, al
tho not all receive their jobs thru
the employment bureau, Mr. Epp
stated.
Mr. Epp advises the freshman
not to work if possible, for both
board and room, and if he must do
that, to not register for more than
14 houra university work. Also,
quoting from a form letter sent to
new students, "A student coming
to the University for the first time
should have enough money to pay
a reasonable amount of his first
year's expenses with a minimum
amount of outside employment" It
ia considered that "such a heavy
program would reflect itself in his
scholastic record and discourage
even the most promising youth." 1

READY RESPONSE
Indications Point to Record
Breaking Circulation for
Coming Year.
PRICE IS UNUSUALLY LOW
Strict Check Will Be Kept a
Distribution Booths;
Receipts Needed.
"The response lias been won
derful," stated Dick Schmidt,
business manager of the Daily
Nebraskan, in summing up the
first three days of the "Be
Campus Conscious" campaign, dur
ing which time the campus news'
paper is offered to students at one
dollar a year.
The campaign, which started
last Monday, will continue until
Sept. 29, at which time the sub
scription price will go up at least
50 per cent It was also stressed
by Schmidt that after the cam
paign closes a very strict check
will be made at the distribution
booths and only subscribers will be
able to get the paper.
"We believe that the students
realize what a wonderful oppor
tunity we have offered them,
judging by the way they have been
responding," Schmidt stated Wed
nesday. "All indications point to
a record breaking circulation this
year." .
An increaseed advertising line'
age is one of the reasons for the
radically reduced subscription rate
it was indicated earlier in the
week.
In preparing for the intensive
two weeks campaign a survey
was made of other college dailies
in the United States and it was
found that the Daily Nebraskan,
even at its former rate, is the low
est priced college daily newspaper
in the country.
Distribution of the paper is to be
made thru two booths, one located
in Social Science and the other in
the finance office on the Ag cam'
pusc According to the plan, sub
scribers must present their receipt
at the booth to be checked with the
Nebraskan's circulation list before
they can receive a copy of the pa
per.

Translations of Baffling Campus
Slang With Its Queer Phrases and
Words Prove Puzzling to Freshmen
No matter how good freshmen may be as linguists, the
newcomers to the campus will undoubtedly need some help in
translating certain words and phrases they will hear. If a
frosh hears someone say, "Oh yes, he's spiked," they will mis
understand, unless previously informed. A spike is a promise
to pledge some sorority or fraternity. A barb is a person who
is unaffiliated with any ureencr
organization, and likewise Greeks
are those who are members of
some Greek letter group.
If a freshman hears of the
"Moon" or "caking" about the
campus, he is probably puzzled. In
simple language, he (or she)
should visit one of the more popu
lar rendezvous about the campus
and purchase a coke, and make it
last at least an hour while she
(or he) exchanges the latest gos
sip with all and sundry. As a
frosh gains in experience, a coke
will furnish refreshment for a
whole afternoon.

Innocents Will Choose New
Cheerleaders Before
Wyoming Game.
Issuing- the season's first call
for cheer leaders, Owen Johnson
Innocents society president, stated
yesterday that tryouts will be held
Fridav afternoon at 5 o'clock in
the coliseum. New yell kings will
be selected in time for the first
football eariie after a series of
eliminations, he stated.
"There will be three or four va
cancies in the yell leaders squad
since some of last year's men have
not returned to school and it is not
vet known how many of the old
ones intend to continue this fall,"
he said.
Urging that all interested stu
dents turn out so that this year's
yell leaders may be the best ob
tainable. Johnson stressed the fact
that selections of new leaders must
be made and a number of rehear
sals held before the rally for the
Wyoming game which opens the
1934 Husker schedule.
Selection of men to fill all va
cancies will be strictly on a merit
basis, Johnson declared, stating
that every applicant will be given
an equal chance to qualify for the
positions.
Cheer leaders, whose job it is to
coax yells from the stands during
football games and at rallies, are
selected each year by members of
the Innocents society and serve
for an indefinite term.

EMERGENCY MEASURES
Osome 1,000 students had completed
tneir registration at that time.
Many more were apparently ready
to converge on the coliseum all
day Thursday. One-day registra
tion, being tried for the first time
here, was branded a failure by
administrative officers as the as
signment committee worked at top
speed to register the long lines of
waiting students.
The coliseum was a scene of in
tense activity all Wednesday.
Starting to gather at 7 a. m., more
than 1,000 students were waiting
in the balcony when the doors of
the main floor opened at 8 o'clock.
Several times during the morning
and afternoon, the doormen ex
hausted their supply of numbers
and were obliged to hold the stu
dents outside until more numbers
could be obtained.
To the new students for whom
the procedure was a confusion of
professors, courses and hours, the
coliseum looked like a crowded
county fair. Each college had a
section of the huge floor, and was
separated - from the others by
wooden frames covered with wire
netting.

Students received numbers at

until their numbers were called.

Distinguishing Caps Are Aid
to Freshmen Seeking
Acquaintances.
Freshman men will again this
year don the vivid red and whits
headgear which is a mark of dis
tinction for the class on the cam
pus. The class of 1938 will, by
this action, continue the tradition
which was established In the first
years of the school.
This custom, sponsored every
fall by the Innocents society,
senior men's honorary organiza
tion, is maintained through co
operation with various men's or
ganizations on the campus, ac
cording to Owen Johnson, presi
dent of the senior society.
These caps must be on the heads
of all freshmen by the time of the
annual freshman initiation at the
coliseum on Thursday, September
27. If the frosh win the fresh
man-sophomore tug-of-war at the
annual homecoming game, they
may discard their caps at that
time. If the sophs win, the caps
must be worn until the first snow
falls.
According to Innocents in charge
of sales of the caps at the Coliseum
over 500 were sold Wednesday.
Freshmen are showing wonderful
cooperation," declared Johnson,
and we believe that tney win con
tinue to cooperate by wearing
them."
Following are the rules estab
lished by the Innocents society sev
eral years ago:
1 Every male freshman stuoent
shall wear a freshman cap.
2. The cap shall be worn Imme
diately after the freshman Initia
tion and continuously thereafter.
3. Cans shall be worn at all uni
versity events and on all school
dates, except for week end dates.
4. Cans shall be removed at sucn
a date as Is considered fitting and
proper by the Innocents society.
