The Daily Nebraskan TO VOLXIII. NO. 53 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER GET YOURJOLLAR TAG IF YOU DON'T YOU ARE APT TO HAVE MANY ENCOUNTERS TODAY. EVERYBODY'S SELLING THEM Little White and Red Squares Will Hang From Many Coat Lapels This Morning. Today the campus and the city will be canvassed by those who arc des ignated by tlio committee in charge of the Cornlnisker banquet for the purpose of selling tickets to that func tion. The squad will number thirty and will repp-sent every cla'-s. The students that were chosen were picked for the reason that they are good hustlers and are haul people to con vince with excuses and promises. The Tag Day idea is a new one in the manner of its present application there has been sevesal Tag Days in the history oT the college but no such stupendous proposition as the com mittee has conceived in the case at band. Former committees in their wildest fancies never imagined that they could produce anything that would be adopted as readily as this idea has been this year. When tfie Tag Day stunt was men tioned the committee forthwith sen tenced thirty students to bard labor for one day, each to do his best to sell the greatest number of tickets. The accommodations are unlimited and every man attending will receive the best of service. The banquet will be one of the biggest things staged at the university this year and cer tainly warrants a crowd that will make the Lincoln hotel long remember that banquet in December, 1913. Bring your dollar on the campus to day, for you certainly will be asked to part with the said coin, and to say "no" would mean that you would prob ably find yourself standing out all nlone with no one to protect you. The stunt of tagging is In itself clever enough to warrant your support, and the banquet will be the best thing that the student will have the chance to attend this ear. Don't forget the dollar, don't forget the time, that's all, you will be with friends.

Harvey Hess ' . CHANGE OF VACATION TO AN EARLIER DATE PLEASES MANY Christmas Let-up Appears to be Prom- ising Much Enjoyment for Number. Did you notice the ear mussing, skin-stretching smiles of The Daily Nebraskan readers on last Wednes day? Yon couldn't have missed them They were omnipre-ent, and all be cause of a little announcement that Christmas recess would begin on Sun day, December 21, instead of the fol lowing Tuesday, thus enabling stiu dents who are fortunate enough not to have laboratory periods on Satur day to leave on Friday the 19th. But why these unexpected favors? Dean Engberg has made quite an admission. He confessed that per haps some slight difficulty might be experienced in keeping the students at the helm during Christmas week. This, however, was only a minor con sideration. It is not to be thought for a moment that the faculty would take the course of least resistance. The Germans and Scandinavians are the real heroes of the occasion. It was in deference to the custom of holding the Christmas services on Christmas eve that the administration has hastened our advance into the promised land. They foresaw the dif ficulty which many of the outside students would experience in reaching homo by Christmas eve were they unable to leave until the previous evening. By thus eliminating classes luring Christmas week they have cleared the path for a vacation worthy of the name. YALE RAISES TUITION FEE.

MISSfHAYDEN EXPLAINS THE ILLUSTRATORS' EXHIBIT Best Magazine and Book Work Done in This Country Now Open to Public Gaze in Library. Convocation yesterday morning was held in the Ait uallery in order to give the students an opportunit of seeing tin- special art exhibit brought here by the American Society of Illustratoi s The program proved to he especially i attractive. Leo Zelenka-Leranda, the llohemlan harpist. played several pieces and was applauded with en thusiasm by the students. Miss Hayden spoko of technical points of merit In different pictures exhibited and told of the development of illustrating as a profession. Formerly only wood plates were used in the making of cuts. In this manner many of the finer tones of the pictures were lost in the process, and only lines and dots could be shown This often made a really splendid pic ture ludicrous when printed. Since the improved methods of etch ing, hair-tones and lithograph work have been introduced, so much better work can be done. A better class of men have taken up the work and illustrating has become an cxtremelv interesting profession. The unique method employed by Ed ward Pyle of Philadelphia, in his school for illustrators, has proven successful. He adopted the idea of having stu dents first express their conception of the picture to be drawn, in com posite form, and not begin the sketch work until the mental idea was clear and concise. Over half the successful illustrators of today have been trained by Edward Pyle. Although the French have done some work on posters, which Amer icans have been unable to equal, they easily rank first as magazine illustra tors. Many familiar illustrations that have recently been used as cover designs on popular magazines were shown in the exhibit. PER8HINGS ATTENTION. Drill Thursday night. Important. Come.

By a vote of 679 to 316 the honor system was adopted by the student body of the University of Wisconsin. Freshmen at the University of Penn sylvania have unanimously pledged to an honor system. The system places no definite restrictions upon the stu dents, but in a general way they are pledged to maintain it in the spirit and conduct of a gentleman. Exchange. 3, 1913 i
