When the pong sounds at convations hour every first-year man is existed to crowd his way into Memorial Hall to hear soma of the old-time traditions and receive a healthy does of real Cornhusker spirit. With such pep-injectors ad Professors Scott and Condra on the program he must indeed be a ihick hided yearling to come away unin oculated. Head Coach Schulte. Ne braska's new athletic director, will have some Ideas that will be of in terest to every Freshman. The idea of a freshman initiation was started for the purpose of intro ducing the first year men into uni versity life. He is to become ac quainted with university yells and to learn to know the university colors. He is to learn to have the right atti tude towards the faculty; to know the purpose of the school he has chosen for his Alma Mater. Univer sity athletics, debating, scholarship, and every other line of activity will be revealed, and explained to him. In general, the idea is to start tne freshman in his university career on the right track; to urge him to know what he is here for. and to inject into him the resolve to make good. The meeting will give each aspir ant to the job of cheer leader a chance to show his ability. If pos sible those desiring to make use of this opportunity should report io Glenn Hopkinc at the students activ ties o!Rce before the convocation hour. Convocation for Women. .

KEEN COMPETITION IN PILLOW FIGHT Co-eds Battle Hard for Prizes Offered by Old Man Awgwan. After five full days of persistent sol iciting on the part of AWGWAN sub scription contestants the real struggle for the coveted prize offered by the management for the most successful solicitor developed late Tuesday after noon when a flock of co-eds stoi ...a the campus in their efforts to close out the largest number of subscrip tion books before the close of the on test which has been announced for this evening at 6 o'cclock. Dorothy Wolfe has maintained her position at the head of th" list of con testants and bids fair to walk away with the "Nebraska" leather pillow top this evening. Following her iose ly are Ruby Swenson. Yerna lluchta and Mary Herzing. all of which are still in a position to make the lead doubtful. Many surprises however, are promised for today since many of the solicitors have been taking prom ises which they expect to materialize into actual subscriptions today and so overturn the general outlook for win ners. Besides the regular solicitors Sta tion A. and The Student Activities Office are taking subscriptions Horn those whom the solicitors have not reached. In addition there will be a table or A WG WAN'S placed near Ihe Armory during today only, for "hose who have subscribed and any wishing to place their subscription. Th os culation bids to be unusually heavy this year due to the increased enroll ment and the pervading spirit of "Cornhuskerism" in the campua at mosphere. The circulation is stimu lated, too. by the character of the edi torial work in this year's edition and the exceptional quality of advertising material which helps to give the com ic added recognition in publicanon and commercial circles. This year Old Man Awgwan will be found the ever-ready supporter and defender of those things which are Cornhusker in their character and which look toward the ripening of Nebraska traditions. Students Back Awgwan Fraternities and sororities have al ways been staunch in their support of their favorite periodical and AW GWAN enjoys likewise a very wide circulation among non-fraternity tta- dents. The many favorable cireum-1 stances coupled with the hearty sup (Continued on Page Three.) So a perfectly fascinrting, young man, asked you to sell subscriptions for the "Raz." And yoa beinj beguiled by his combination Wallace Reid-Apollo smile consented to do so. Blithely you fared forth with a receipt book and a hand ful of tags. Being a violet-like little maiden, yen decided it would be far more modest to spirit the dollars away from the co-eds, instead of trying to siren away the shekels from the men. However, it is a woman's privilege to change her mind, and at the end of a weary, dreary, hour, you availed yourself of this prerogative, and assailed the finances of the men. Why? Because the fair ladies met your charming pleas with icy stares, and icier words. Two, out of hundreds to whom you spoke, subscribed. You had somewhat better luck with the men. Some of them lacked the moral courage to refuse you. Some sub scribed because you so successfully blockaded tha walk, that they could not pass by you, altho one or two, heroically shoved you out of the way in a manner which would have made a csve man burst with pride. Others subscribed be cause you trailed them around and around the campus with the persistency of a shadow. Others told you they did not have the money, while they jingled it noisily in their pockets. Others, gave scores of excuses. Others, grinned sheepishly, but said nothing. Still others, dashed by you. as if your vcicc were merely a passing bree?e. ard you were naught but atmosphere, end did not subscribe at all.' With a Wyuka look, and a feeling that Joan of Arc had no monopoly on the martyr stuff, yoa turned in your book at noon, with a solemn vow of "Never gain" but tonight, a man called you up. and asked you to reseat the agony in the morning. Yes. ar?d you said yen wo?H Pleasant out look, isn't it? Surely, people must reali?5 that in thes2 days of prcteering and sky prices, one c.i get ro more tV?.n "Rags," for a dollar arri a carter, any v.crren who has rriced fall suits, knows tht, so why tot get the best "Rag" in the world for one's dollar and a quirtsr.

Lawrence Shaw Lost to Varsity Squad Headed for Chi cago University. The pleasure of roughing up the scrubs" was piven to the varsity for the first time Tuesday. With Howarth at (nut '.r.

The scrimmage hungry Husker squad will have an other morsel thrown it this after noon. Both Lyman and Schellenberg were on the field Tuesday. Hubka is be ing delayed in his trip to the I'nl' but is almost certain to have his fighting togs on before October 1. It is not yet certain how soon Kellogg will leave his home in Nebraska City for the Lincoln campus, but those in touch with Sam believe that he has the bug and will soon be tearing around the ends out on the brid. "Rill" Day had a little hard luck yesterday. He hadn't been on the field five ir.inu'es when one of the pigskins bounced up onto his little finger. That little member was badly crumpled and taken back to Jack Best's dressing station for repairs. For the rest of the practice session Day followed the sguad as an interested ensign, I. S. N". The first varsity squad of the year which had the chance to plow into the "scrub" was lined up in the fol lowing order: L. E. Swanson L. T. Young. L. G Wade Munn. C Monte Munn. R. G. Jungmeyer. R - T. Wilder. R. E. Anthes. Q. B Howarth. L. H. Schellenberg. R. H Dobson. P. B Dale. Old Fans On Bleachers. It was a pleasure to old bugs to see a Scarlet and Cream varsity line up in action again. There were many es-itoldiers and sailors riding the bleachers who hand t seen a Husker lineup siuce '! or IT. Even a rub with the freshmen was a soothing sight for these eyes. Cornhusker far. vi have beet looking the boys over have decided that ihey are justified in looking for war l to a team which ws'.i ride thi' r!d sil:. ;i:e ior a gocdly share rt the season's honcr. The line will be equal to any of their opponents from the beef ancle and the best pan of it is that there are enough linemen to form a reserve lorce to what may be picked f -r the first squad.
