tirely Unsolicited Today Last
Day for Campaign.
Tlic next to the last day of the
great Memorial Drive which was
designated as "Tag Day" on the Uni
versity campus, swelled the coffers of
the new gymnasium fund manyfold.
The University grounds were dotted
with students wearing the insignia
showing that they are subscribers to
the Nebraska Memorial when the
soliciting was finished for the day.
"It was the biggest day yet." said
a committee chairman late Wednes
day afternoon. "The University of
Nebraska is responding nobly to the
great cause it has guaranteed to
finance. Today is the last day and it
is the aim of the committees that
tonight will see every Cornhusker
with his subscription badge pinned on
the outside of his coat."
Large Subscriptions Yesterday
Several large student donations
were received Wednesday. Amounts
ranging from ten dollars to a few hun
dred dollar subscriptions, and several
of $250 and $500 were announced by
t;;f general committee. To date stu
dents alone have contributed more
than $20,000 to the gymnasium and
stadium, and although faculty sub
scriptions are just beginning to come
in, the total donations from them
amount to slightly over $3,000. Two
professors have pledged themselves
to give $400 and several other large
amounts have been promised.
The University of Nebraska's quota
is set at $75,000 and this amount
must be raised In pledges before the

Friday, June 4.
Many professors who will engage in
summer work other than the profes
sion of teaching and w ho are anxious
to finish their semester reports,
are giving finals Wednesday, Thurs
day and Saturday of this week. Stu
dents voice their approval of this plan
because they wish to eliminate as
much of the conventional worry and
"cram" as possible.
Purchasing Agent Chac'.derton an
nounces that he has obtained enough
paper to enable every student in the
University to write everything he
knows. Many students are surprised
to know this fact since the rumor has
been that the supply of examination

How the Professors
Measure Brain Power
The semi-annual Inquisition Is at
hand. Already the persecutors are
preparing the instruments of torture.
Some are even grasping for their
victims this week. The ingenuity of
the Spaniards cannot hold a candle to
the scientific efficiency of pur modern
"profs." Instead of thinking up such
unmethodical devices as a pit full of
vats or a knife-like pendulum, our
"profs" have their torti'res worked out
in mathematical precision. We stupid
students can never expect to fathom
the depths of their plots.
Pome who are sharks at solving
riddles say that first the "profs" cal
culate the number of cubic centi

STUDENTS DIVE
FOR YEAR-BOOKS
Rush Began at Eight this Morn
ing Every Annual Has
Been Sold.
Those Who Departed from
Straight Path Find Student
Life Section Alluring.
Distribution of the Cornhuskers be
gan at eight o'clock this morning at
the Student Activities office. Every
book has been sold , and a great pile
waits at the office to be given out to
those who present their receipts and
pay their remaining two-fifty. Those
who do not have their receipts can
get their Cornhuskers Friday.
Unusual interest surrounds the Stu
dent Life Section. It is so full of life
that inklings of scandal have been
leaking out during the last few days.
Big events are the stuff that fills that
section. Some great shocks have
come to students who strayed from
the straight and narrow path pointed
out by Deans Engberg and Heppner
and thought nobody knew about it.
The "Greater University"
A more serious section attracting
attrition is the "Greater University."
This was written by Professor Alex
ander and is illustrated by pictures of
the best buildings on the campus.
Not only those now existing in brick
and stone but those now known as
aircastles those to be erected as
soon as funds are available appear.
The miscellaneous activities not in
cluded in the other departments are
under the head of "School and Class
Activities." This includes last year's
Ivy Day and University Night and
University Week of this year.

SCHULTE PLANS TO KEEP
IN TOUCH WITH HUSKERS
It is Probable that Book About
Nebraska's Athletes Will
be Published.
Coach Schulte does not intend to
let Husker athletes forget the school
and athletic affairs during the sum
mer if present plans materialize. The
following notice was tacked on the
"gym" door Wednesday:
"Every old man. new man, dub. who
wants to see Nebraska on top in foot
ball, baieball. basketball, track, cross
country, write a short letter news of
yourself and other athletic men to
Henry F. Schulte. Marcellus, Mich."
These, letters will be printed in
"Tales of Cornhuskers" which will be
sent to all athletes who get their
names on the free subscription list.
The first issue comes out June 30.
Schulte's Idea is to keep his big
band of athletes in close personal
touch during the summer and believes
Nebraska athletics will be benefited
by their increased enthusiasm next
fall.
Game Begins at Four-Thirty this
Afternoon on M Street
Field.
A couple of good workouts this
week have put the Huskers in form
for their game with Pip Cooke's "All
Stars" at M Street Park this after
noon at four-thirty. Cooke's team
have also been on their toes during
the past week. Daily practice has
been their schedule. The "All Stars"
swamped the city champions Tuesday
evening and expect to make a repeti
tion of the procedure this afternoon.
The "All Star" team is composed or
old baseball men, all of whom have at
tended the University of Nebraska at
some time. Some of the men's Ne
braska days date back to 1902, but
they have all attended the University.
Some of these men are ranked with
the best athletes that have been
turned out at Nebraska and are not
ready to step aside for the present
day baseball men.
Pickett Will Not Twirl
Cooke, in his challenge to the Husk
ers, made the stipulation that Cap"tain
Pickett would not pitch. This will'
be a serious handicap to the Nebraska
team, but with the marked develop
ment that has been shown by both
Reynolds and Ely they should be able
to hold the "All Stars" in mound
work.
The "All Stars' " lineup includes
such men as "Tuffey" Towle, Earl
Carr, Jasper Clark, "Buck" Beltzer,
Stutz Sturzenecker, Less Hyde,
Schleuter, Sam Waugh, Jim Beltzer,
Cody Clark and Carl Stein.
"It was with this lineup that we

BOOKLETS SENT TO
ALL HIGH SENIORS
Several Thousand Pamphlets De
scribing University Mailed
to Graduates.
WILL GAIN NEW STUDENTS
This week several thousand pam
phlets were sent out from the office
of the registrar to the high school
students throughout the state. They
are made up of attractive pictures and
descriptions of University affairs and
education. The book is a sort or a
sketch book of the University and is
sent out to these high school Seniors
with the intention of interesting them
in coming to the University next year.
The appeal made to these students
is as follows: "The University of
Nebraska congratulates you upon the
event of your graduation from high
school. You have received the bene
fits of a general public education
liberally provided for you by your
community. Graduation from high
school marks a 'commencement' in a
very true sense of the word: from
that date forward you commence your
own, individual career.
State Interested in Future
