Over 09 Books Have Al
ready Been Sold.
Tomorrow will bo Cornhusker sub
scription day. TIioeo who wish to se-
curo copies of this year's annual

It has been the custom, heretofore,
for members of tho Cornhusker staff

he carried out. Subscriptions will be
taken only at regularly appointed
places. Tables will bo placed in tho
library hall, mechanics arts hall, and

Another Innovation this year is tho
requirement of a fifty-cent deposit

first year that such a deposit has been
required. This is done so that tho i
staff will bo absolutely certain that J
every copy ordered will bo taken. As
the price of the Cornhusker this yoar

remain to bo paid on the delivery of

nual Event of the Fraternity
Men of tho University
of Nebraska.

gether and celebrato an event v!ilch
it is hoped will outshine anything of
a similar naturo that ins ever boon
held in .the history cf (h. university.
In Honor of Chancellor
Tho arrangement which have boon
only partially completed aro mainly to
tho fact that tho banquet wilt bo in
honor of Chancellor Avery. This is
the first banquet of this naturo ovor
held at tho univorslty and it Is plan
ned to mako It an annual affair. In
making arrangements It was planned
that tho banquet should bo In honor of
tho chancellor and In this way tho
fraternity men of tho university would
bo ablo to show tholr appreciation of
tho hoad of tho university. -
Another factor in the development
of this idea of a unlversl'y fraternity
banquet wns to dovolep tho best of
feeling between tho different fratornl-
ties. In the past tho men of tho unl3 .
vorsity who wero Greek letter mon

Tho men of tho univorfiity will aleo bo
brought into closer touch with each

between Harvard and Princeton whjch .
ho attended recently, the" easterner
had far better delivery than Nebras
ka, bu far less argumentation.,, .
