gossips last week for Halllgan's op

announcement. With election only a
Week off it is a pitia'ble'-condition of

Shoemaker refusing 'to announce him

strong backing among fraternity

ternity men.
The Y. M. C. A. are generally under

one has been "finally decided upon. The
jack of sufficient interest in Bible

ATHLETICJCKEIS
SALE HAS NOT BEEN l)P TO THE
MARK OF OTHER YEARS.
MORE THAN EVER FOR MONEY
Six Games Besides All of the Basket
ball Games Open to Students
Having the Ticket Track
Meets Also.
By ac'tud count but 100 students
here at 'Nebraska have jso far shown
their Willingness to back student en
terprises at this University by pur
chasing the "Student Ticket.'"
According to the Committee in
charge, a total of frohi 100 to 1,500
tickets Will be necessary to malce the
blanket plan a, financial success for
the various interests involved. This
means that a thousand tickets yet re
main to be sold. The fact that the
first game is still to be played has
militated against a very heavy ad
vance sale.
The big reason which lay liack of
the agitation for the blanket fee the
past few years was the desire to get
all the students to attend all the col
lege functions In which the students
are participants. With a great per
cent of the students cn the side lines,
or in the Armory college spirit Will
become a "vital force.
The blanket fee is divided among
the football, basket ball, track meets
and any wrestling match. The fee
will also send the University Band to
the big game at Iowa, Thanksgiving.
The Student Ticket is better than a
"closing cut sale" at a cheap clothing
store; it does provide admission to
college activities at less 'than one-third
the price of the single admission
charges. The fee has been put low
so that it may not be prohibitive to
any one.
Four dollars-a year Is the price of
tickets to the big student events and
it is also tfie mice of college loyalty.
This in substance was used by the
editor of the Iowa State Student
which is pushing a similar campaign'
for student tickets. Only at Iowa
they are asking six dollars, and offer
ing only one "big game to their stu
dents, the Nebraska game on Thanks
giving. Here at Nebraska Guy Reed
is offering six games, With Nebraska
featuring, each time and for only four
dollars. Together with this is free
admission to eight basketball games,
two track meets ana a wrestling meet
Students are nrged to get behind
the student ticket.

the smallest captain in captivity, Cap
