Yeste-day's ticket sale for Univer sity tylght was well patronized, a ma jority of the seats being sold. There remain, however, a few choice seats In the balcony and scattered about the ground floor sections' that are avail able to any students desiring them at the College book store. It is very prob able that almost If not all of the tickets will be sold before Saturday arrives as many students and faculty member's could not appear yesterday at 11 o'clock for the regular sale and these people have made their , pur chases snlce that time. In case there should any remain unsold the management expects to put those tickets on-sale at the door il. -,-t.t nf ta norfnrmanofl. Al- kUO Uiub v. -w- most the entire lower floor of the Auditorium was sold yesterday and the sale is continuing at a rate that would Justify warning to all those persons expecting to attend the big night of stunts- to apply immediately for tickets if they do not wish to be disappointed.

FEPBIM J. nrS, M 1 MUST EF Starvation Seems to Be Doom of Nebraska Infant MAY ABOLISH BOOK Management of Cornhusker Forced to Final Appeal for Support Before . Dismissing Plana "More Food, More Food." That's tho war baby's cry which Is heard in the Cornhusker office every day, while Papa Thompson hustles diligently about trying to scare up just a bit of nourishment to guarantee 'the child's existence for another day at least. The supply in baby's canteen is low and if the temperature of the liquid must be governed .by student support generally it would necessarily be any where below the zero line. In spite of the fact that this year's Cornhusker is one of the most novel and complete annual ever produced HE CAN'T LIVE ON N0THIN' for Nebraska student's the support seems to be such that will call either for immediate revolution in campus spirit or a throwing overboard of all plans for the Nebraska yearbook. The management has in fact found it nec essary to 'place the matter squarely before the student and faculty body end insist that if they wish to get be hind this big attempt to publish a representative annual that will eclipse all others in size and content's and which at the same time will sell at a record breaking low price, they must show such willingness at once or the work will be stopped and the whole affair dismissed. 8ophomores art Co-Operating The sophomores are for the most part co-operating splendidly with the management in submitting their indi vidual pictures, but there remain many who as yet have failed to avail them selves of this opportunity to be re presented in the big war edition. The t'mo limit, although not deflnitely sot, will necessarily be short In order to assure a timely, publication of the book and. all second year students are therefore held personally responsible to see that their pictures are pre sented at the office within the very near future. There will naturally he some dis appointed persons about school toward t-he latter part of this year, as there have, been in years previous to this, because' their pictures are not to be found among those of their, friends and classmates. Nor should anyone allow themselves to entertain the thought that a Cornhusker may be purchased al the eleventh hour for It happens very fiequently that the supply runs on tit 9 a, than Aram (Ka final ;Jrt- mand for them. 1 This Week's Solicitor Co-eds now conducting the Corn husker campaign are: Marion Hompes denevieve Addle Edith Cash man Genevieve Loeb Hazel Cook Verne Moseman Fay Breese Hazel Edwards Mary Eastham Helen Tooly Hazel Cook Lucille Keeth Helen Dill Emma Neilson Carolyn Reed Elizabeth Erarim Sadie Rotholz Ruth Milford Gertrude Munger Marian Hall Helen Cook Fae Breese Winifred William EYENING SHUN COMPLETES COLLECTION OF SCANDAL Editors Believe no Item Over looked Spam Many Tempting Bribes The Evening Shun, the annual Uni verslty scandal paper published by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journal istic fraternity, Is now nearly ready for the press. The editor, I. Gifa Damm, announces that every scandal passageway has given up its quota and that although the total -number of bribes turned down amounts well into the hundreds, there is little doubt ln his mind that the University will derive a permanent benefit from thf publication of the feared articles aid he Is willing to make the sacrifice of the paltry dollars. The Shun representatives have had their ' dictaphones set and their campus sleuths stationed for the past three weeks and they feel that no Item has escaped them. The motto: "Hew to the line, let- the chips fall where they may," is being strictly adhered to. The Shun will be .distributed at the door of the auditorium Saturday after the University Night performance.

WORLD WAR HAS ENLARGED SPHERE OF WOMAN'S WORK Miss Helen Frazer Explains Ef fect of Present Struggle ' in England "The sphere of woman's work has changed since the war began," Miss Helen Frazer said at Convocation this morning. "Their opportunities have been broadened and widened. Fran chize has been granted to educated' women. Six millions of English wom en will vote next election. The women have also broader op portunlties of education. The univer sities of England are void of men. ' Culy the cripples and foreigners are left. ' The women fill the universities. England has discovered the great Value of the service of University women. It is wise and proper to give girls an education. We urge them to complete their work and then do war work. The medical women have come into their own during the war. The war office established the first medical unit of women in a large, hospital In France, a year ago. it contains' seven hundred beds. Dr. Ingels, who did wonderful work in Russia-and saved so many, lives there, is regarded as one of the great persons of England. There are over one million women working in ammunition factories. Educated women are at the head oi the departments. Over one and ' a half million in the Industries, have taken the places of the men. The women run the railroads, subways, deliver mails and are in stores, ware houses. About 30,000 women are now in banks. Without their assistance business in England could not con tinue. The housewives are organized throughout the country. The ration of mead and wheat is one pound to a person. Only six ounces of sugar is allowed and five ounces of fats.
