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.

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.
Beginning with January, 1914, tui
tion fees at Yale will be raised. The
tuition charge will be $160 for the
student who takes the normal number
of hours, instead of $155 as at present.
In the Scientific school the tuition
charge will be increased from $150
to $180. Exchange. 4

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.
