Like the song idea need of cHange BIG PRIZE ALMOST ASSURED FACULTY AND 8TUDENrS WJLL BE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE. Effort to Have a Genuine Nebraska Song Different From All Others At Last Likely To Be Car- To a Successful Finish. University professors aro solidly be hind the movoment for a new univer sity song, if the Interviews obtained from 11 representative number of the faculty are wortli anything. Every professor questioned admitted that ho believed tho idea to be a good one and In only one caso was there any fault to be found with tho idea of tho pro moters to glvo a big prlzo as a stimu lus to the school's writers. Some fifteen professors wore inter viewed on the song matter. They rep resented all sections of tho universi ty and their opinion is regarded as being a- fair indication of that of tho university faculty in general. Those professors agreed with, the charge of the song promoters that the Uni versity of Nebraska is in need of a typical Cornhusker song. They saw as well as the students the figure that Nebraska cuts in having her official song a mere parody on that of an eastern institution. Above Prize Idea. Not only did the professors approve of the general proposition, but they nlso gave their 'approbation to tho proosal of the. song promoters that a "big prize bo raised to encourage com petitive offers of vorscB and music. One faculty member did not agree with the idea in all its details but tho rest wyero enthusiastic in their belief that the offer of a prlzo running up into tho .hundred of dollars would stimulate effort as no other one thing could. The plan now is to raise a fund of about $400 to bo given as prizes for the composition and verses. Two hundred and iifty dollars of this amount would bo rasided among tho amount would bo raised among tho tr the plan as now roughly outlined The remaining $lc0 tho promoters hope to raise among the members of tho faculty. Each of tho oloven fraternities and the nine sororities in school would bo asked" to donate a snmH amount. Othor societies, in cluding .Honorary and professional or ganizations, would bo ilkowlso given an opportunity to aid in providing" Ne braska with, a new" song. ' Whatever amount thon remained to bo raised would be sought from . the' student body in Individual contributions from loyal students. ' k !;?,,, Already Inquiring. Since. Jtho first , announcement? that a prize of largo amount would prob ably be given for a song composition, thp Nbraskan office has been ma'do the object or numerous Inquiries as to the nature of tho offer and the regu lations governing its award. No def inite announcement has yet been -made as to these particulars nor wfil, one , bo; made untilt-ie funds for rfthe prlzo1. are in aI0iti; ijs -unjfcub'tefy howpver, that tho competition will bo jppen to all university student?. Whether or not tho, music and tho ;jsnot decjded,-, but tho, difficulty aris Jng from suoh a,, course is consider fable. SftYoujfcarojac university of track," said one of tho t professors interviewed. "Nebraska Is no longer a baby Institution. It is a full-grown university and It should tako on tho outer appearance bofltting its char acter. It would not need to take a parody on a tradition of another uni versity for what should bo ono of Its moBt coveted personal possessions. NO, song which is a parody upon that of another school can really give to Nebraska tho Independent charactor which she should tako in her outer emblems as well as In hor real bo ing. "This being so, I am heartily glad to see tho song movement started in so energetic a manner. I bellevo that the prize idea is tho right way In which to got a song that will bo worthy of tho school. It is fitting, too, that the composition should be the product of a Nebraska student. That is eminently proper." KOMENSKY MAGAZINE IS OUT Thirty-two Page Publication Is Issued at Nebraska. The first issue of the official maga zine of the Komensky club Is out. It Is a monthly magazine of 32 pages and is printed In tho Bohemian lan guage. Although Issued at tho univer sity It had to bo printed In Omaha on account of tho Inability to secure any printing In the Bohemian lan guage in Lincoln. Already tho magazine has many sub scribers and 'it Is expected that it will Increase rapidly. Tho publication Is gotten out by the United Komensky Clubs and contains articles by various members a of those olubs. Many of them are on Komensky, or Comenlus, as he Is known In English. It also contains poems on the same subject and articles on various matters of in terest to the clubs in general. UNIQUE B00K8 GIVEN SOCIETY State Historical Society Received Two Donations.

Tills rule means that every gamo this year will have to bo played whether a fraternity ,1b ready or not, Just so long as tho weather permits.
