"Tng you're it. Three dollars,
please."
If some fair coed addresses you in
this manner today, don't be frightened.
She is not a militant suffragette, but a
member of the boosters' committee try
ing to sell you a BeaBon ticket. Twenty
five co-eds and thirty-six men are on
the campua today with the same pur
pose in view. Before 6 o'clock they
expect to sell 1,000 season athletic
tickets, and from the present outlook
they will do it. Several membera of
the committee sold their quota yester
day afternoon and went back for more.
When one considers the value which
the athletic management ofTera for J3
it is not surprising that the tickets go
so fast. No true Nebraskan would
miss the football games this fall, the
admission to which amounts to $1.50
more than the price of a ticket good
for the whole season's athletic con
tests. And when the $2 for admission
to basketball and $2.60 admission to
baseball and track meets are added to
this, a Baving of $6 is shown. From a
financial standpoint, therefore, a sea
son ticket is the only thing.

NEW MAGAZINES FOR Y. M. C. A.
Home Papers to Be Available in Read
ing Room After This.
The reading room of the University
Y M. C. A. is a popular place for
spending leisure hours or for study.
Nearly fifty men may be found there
at any time of the day reading the
magazines provided by the association.
A new supply will soon be ordered,
and arrangements are under way to
secure all the leading papers of the
elate, so the "home paper" may be had
by many of the students.
The cold, rainy days of early autumn
seem to have little effect upon the
beautiful finery of the co-od Verily,
Solomon in all hiB glory 1b nVarrayed
like one of thene The gaily oedecked
throngs of beautiful maldenn passing
to and fro from the various buildings
help us to forgot the austerity of the
grim old institution and the dull, mo
notonous grind of study.
That tall, stately blonde with the
beautiful Parisian coiffure la made all
the more radiant by tho rich warm red
of a Norfolk Jacket. The brunotto
just descending the Library steps is
quite bewitching in a largo black pic
ture hat with a "stick-up" on it, and
she is robed In a deep blue Mackinaw.
A number of fuBBers seated upon the
stepB are awe-stricken by tho appear
ance of thiB goddess from above and
fall to recognize in her an old acquaint
ance. A bluejay in the Linden tree
falls to the ground, dead, as she
passes, his heart eaten out with Jeal
ousy.
"Oh, Constance. Isn't that taupo tail
ored Bult that Genevieve Ib wearing
the dearest you ever saw?"
"Yes, but I don't believe I like it as
well aa that peachy brown one that
Beatrice haa."
"Oh, well, Bee's looks better on her
because she has a better complexion,
and she wears her hair in a psyche
knot."
Ye godB' how women's styles change!
Will we poor men ever become accus
tomed to them? We had Just begun
to understand the peplln of last sum
mer when you began wearing the
Mackinaw. That was "the most un
klndest cut of all" to rob ub of tho only
beautiful coatB we ever wore!
It 1b in tho Library, however, where
we have the opportunity of observing
the young ladies at their best, if you
have occasion to go thero to er
study, of course. Typical conversation
between two young men who imagine
themselves well posted on the late
styles:
"Say, Harold, do you see that girl
over there in the coral waist?"
"Sure."
"Well, I'll bet a hundred dollars her
hair 1b done Into that new perpetual
wave effect I've been reading about.
They Bay it coats twenty-five bucks
to have one fixed up at a hairdresser's,
and you have ti sit still six hours to
have it done."
"It can't be did. No girl can sit still
that long!"
(Righteous indignation on the part
of the ladies.)
Honest, it appals to attempt to de
scribe furthor the hats, gowns and
other adornments our co-eds wear.

rule has run the gauntlet of agitation
for several years, and its adoption is
considered significant by fraternity
men. It haB beon tried In many col

satisfaction.
Confusion Over Rules.
The fraternity men have boen some

over what haB appeared to bo a con

Ings. '
Last year the fraternities were per
mitted to hold their parties and ban
quets at their pleasure during "rush"
week without protest or interference
from the committee on student organ
izations As a consequence the recent
edict of the committee restoring tho
fraternities to their Htatus quo was re
ceived with some surprise and no little
conBtrnation.
Several parties and banquets which
had been planned for some time bare
beon canceled and It Is expected that
there will be no disposition to violate
the ruleB laid down by the committee
on student organizations.
Novel Plans Laid.
Save for formal affairs which last
