Students Seek Jobs
Of All Kinds At
Employment Bureau
Over four hundred students have
so far been placed in Jobs by the
Lion's club in chareg of the employ
ment bureau in connection with the
University Y. M. Q. A. The supply
of jobs is not any where equal to the
demand, but calls are steadily com
ing in and there is a probability that
several hundred more may be placed
in the next two weeks.
The bureau is located in the library
i . - .i . nAti
in in east eno vi iue iuuiiuuuai
' Club lounging rooms and a secretary
is at the desk all the time. Students
have been availing themselves of the
services in large numbers, and al
ready some nine hundred applications
have been turned in. These applica
tions give, in addition to the stud
ent's name and address, the num
ber of hours he wishes to work, the
kind of work he prefers, hi3 qaulifica
tions for the work, and the amount
of money that is necessary for him to
earn.
All Lines of Work
There ia a great variety In the
kinds of work the students are seek
ing every thing from dish washing
to teaching: and accounting' being in
cluded in the applications. One stu
dent was looking for a "Janitor-Musical-Clerk"
Job.. A great percentage
of the student said they were willing
to do anything. One application read
"Will do any kind of work,' Exper
ienced." Enough students want
Jobs aa drag clerks to supply the city
of Lincoln for the next ten years. It
is very evident that In the home
town the druggists are recruiting
plenty of material for the soda foun
tain, bnt it is also evident that tbe:e
Is little demand for drug clerks in
this town.
The larira nnmHor tit annlications
In which students are asking for
enough work to pay their way thru
completely indicates that many are
here without any financial backing
whatever. Some want to work only
for their board and room, "others for
only their clothes and spending
money. The general asmosphere that
pervades the place, however, Is one
of a desire to get the wherewithal to
get thru the university, and the means
and'methods matter little so long as
they lead to the end.

Minus a Number of Their
Veteran Stars
NOTRE DAME, Ind, Fifty candi
dates responded to the call of Coach
Rockne for the opening practice of ,
the season Thursday morning. The
men were in good physical condition
and were put thru a stiff workout
which will be. followed by dally sefr.
sions of hard work in preparation for
the first game of the season, with Kala
mazoo on September 24.
George Gipp, all-American sensa
tion of the 1920 season, Joe Brandy,
Frank Coughlin and Morris Smith,
all-western selections and Dave Hayes
and Norm Barry, stars of three sea
sons, have been lost to the squad.
Chet Grant, Brandy's understudy, at
quarterback last year, has been sick
and will bo unavailable for the team
until he regains a proper physical
condition.
Fred Larson, husky center o. last
season, will probably not return to
school and will leave a. weak spot
in the center of the line' which will
be farther emphasized by the less of
Smith at guard.
. Halas Is Assistant
Coach Rockne is being assisted by
Walter Halas, former Illinois star,
who also coaches baseball and bas
ketball at Notre Dame. Rockne and
Halaa compose the entire coaching
staff at Notre Dame and will attempt
to shape a team capable of weather
Ing an eleven-game schedule in CI
days, including Iowa, Purdue, Nebras
ka, Indiana, West Point and Rutgers
within the short period of five weeks.
West Point and Rutgers will be met
'with only two days intervening be
tween the two games
Rockne Spreads Gloom
In discussing the prospects fcr the
year, Rockne was far from optimistic.
"Prospects are only fair," he said,
"and no one acquainted with tho real
situation can expect more than a medi
ocre season. The absence of Gipp,
Brandy, Smith, Coughlin, Barry and
Hayes, all stars of three years, will
be keenly felt. Grant will not return
to school. Our schedule is the hard
est ever attempted by a western
school and every opponent will bo
pointing for Notre Dame.
Seventy-five freshmen reported for
the first practice under Coach Barry
Holton. The squad was inclined to
beef and promises to offer lots of re
sistance to the varsity.

Students Met on the Campus for One
of the First Big Partie-.
of the Year
The first all-University "sing" held

sparsely attended, due in most part.
to the fact that it was not Known
among the student body that such au

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Glen Warner, Pitt Mentor, Puts Rec
ord Squad Through Practice
Sessions.
PITTSBURGH. With the Universi
ty of Pittsburgh football team having
practiced for over a week at Camp
Hamilton, near Windber. Pa., Coach
Glenn Warner has been able to get
a pretty good line on the candidates
and has already picked a tentative
first team. Of course, as the season
advances, he may make some shifts,
but right now it looks as though he
will start the combination against
Geneva college the opener, Sept. 24;
at Beaver Falls. The team consists of
Charlie Bowser at center. Jack Sack
and Harry Seidelson at guards, John
McLean and Harvey Harman at tack
les, Francis Williams and Herb Stein
at ends, Tom Holleran at quarter,
John Anderson and Horn Da vies at
halves and Orville Hewitt fullback.
Husky Line This Yeaar.
This team gives Warner a line that
averages 184 pounds from tackle to
tackle. The two ends average 179 ard
the backs 171, Hewitt's 204 pounds of
beef boosting up the average. Ander
son weighs 160, Holleran 167 and
Davies 155.
This team presents several start
ling shirts from the 1920 combination.
Chief of them being the shifting of
Camp's AH-Arerican center, Stein to
end. He is showing up well at the
position. John McLean, who has been
heretofore used as a guard, goes to
tackle and Sack goes from tackle
to guard. Bowser, who will take
Stein's place at center, was first sub
stitute last year and was ao good
that it seemed a hardship to keep
him out of regular play.
Most All Are Veterans.
Seidelson is the only man picked
thus far from the 1920 freshmen out
fit. He played a hangup game .on
Coach Kerr's yearlings and seems ripe
for the varsity. He weighs 187 posnds
Other 1920 freshman players who are
real iclassy performers and who will
make a stiff fight for regular berths
are Fredette, center, Poke Williams,
Winterburn, Shuler, Robusch and
Colon na, backs and Lewis, Toung and
Peters, linemen. High class candidates

SHOWER BATHS IN
ARMORY CHANGED
Those of the students who have in
past years taken advantage of tiie '
free shower baths ia die baricmeal cf I
the armory will note some change this j
year. . New showeis have been in-
Stalled so that tho temperature t,f t!:ej
water can be regulat d. There will be
hot water at nil times for the btu
denls. The use of the showers is
free t,o all students. The university
furnishes free towels and soap. All
the student needs is the ambition.
Campaign Committee Expects Total
To Be Close to Two Thousand
When Sale Ends
ATHLETIC DRIVE A SUCCESS
Sale Will Continue in Effort To Make
Every Student a Rooter
at All Games
The student athletic ticket sale was
shoved up and passed the 1,600 mark
Saturday when the 'registration mill
closed for the week. The total exceed
ed the expectations of the committee
in charge who now believe that the
sale will be pushed around the two
thousand mark before the opening of
football season.
The committee in charge of the drive
have been active during the entire
week of registration and will continue
to push the sale of the books until
a maximum number of students will
b? enrolled among the loyal Cornhusk
ers that are supporting athletics.
Campaign Thing of Past.
The drive for season ticket sales in
the individual sports is a thing of the
past and it is with a sigh of relief that
the students realize that a year will
pass with the number of drives made
at the student's pocketbook reduced to
a considerable extent.
Students ,who have not purchased
one of these season tickets will be
compelled to pay the long price at all
athletic contests. There will-be no such
thing as bargain sales for special
games or combination tickets of any de
scription.
Big Thing For Nebraska.
The move of the athletic department
to place the price of a season ticket
within the reach of every student in
a big thing for Nebraska.
A squad of two thousand . student
rooters at every athletic contest will
mean a great deal in the upward
climb of student interest in sports.
Sale Will Continue
Students late in registering may ob
tain tickets at the student activities of
fice. A great many of those who passed
up the opportunity on registration day
have returned to buy tickets and a still
larger group from this class are expect
ed to visit the student aciviies office
during he next week and purchase the
athletic coupon books.

Jug of the English club.
There have been many weird talcfc

cidence that the jug and tha EnsMnh
club ceased to hold their regular meet

Volstead became nationally diadiked,
but at any rate, during the war and
since the war, the English club has
been meeting irregularly.

pour out delicious cider and provide
the liquid entertainment at the meet

some of the members of this club,
tho jug will be put to regular use this

Membership in the English club is
restricted to those students and mem

talent for writing, and who plan too
follow writing as a pursuit. Member
