Season Ticket Sale for University
Players Season Will Begin
This Week.
SCORE SEVERAL DRIVES
Subscription Campaigns Being
Carried on Without Ap
proval of the Council.
In accordance with the recent an
nounced rule, of the student council
for the regulation of all drives on the
campus a member of the University
Players nppeared before the council
Thursday evening nnd secured their
complete approval of their drive. This
drive of the University Players will
ho staged today nnd the early part
of next week. The student council
recognizing that the Players are es
sentially a university activity and one
of the most important ones on the
campus recommends to every student
In the school that they buy a ticket.
Tho University Players has a wide
reputation over the country and it is
an institution that brings great credit
to the school. This credit has been
won because of the good plays and
fine players in the company so it is
tho opportunity for the loyal student
not onlv to secure good entertain
ment but to see au organization o
gcn nil renown. Bargain matinees
are being given this year in order to
secure a greater student attendance
The council approves of tho drive, es
pecially since there will be no run
ning after a prospect on the campus,
but will be conducted from a booth
on the campus.
No definite report was given as to
action for the council to take on com-
mil.sory convocations and pending
such action the council desires to have
the student express their opinions
either in tho Xebraskan or to the
council memberes themselves.
A number of organizations violated
the council decree as to the regula
tion of drives in staging them this
week without lany approval and the
council has notified them that they
mu.st comply hereafter. It will be the
purpose of the council in regulating
these drive3 to spread them thorugh
the year and to prevent their follow
ing one upon another in rapid suc
cession. Those that appear upon the
campus hereafter attempting to stage
a drive, without tho approval of the
council having been expressed, are
asked to be reported to the council
and no subscriptions or donations
should be made until approval is
given.
Ticket Sale Opens
Friday for Player
The University Players season ticket
sale opens tomorrow with three booths
on the campus. One of these booths
will be located at the old selling
ground between University Hall and
the Armory. The second will be lo
cated at the corner of Twelfth and P.
streets and the third will be located
in the Library. The special induce
inent which was mentioned in last
Wednesday's Xebraskan is as follows:
The Players offer a season ticket
for the night performances at the rea
sonable figure of $3.50. This entitles
the holder to a reserved seat for all
six performances of the Tlayers pro
ductions. The seats may be-reserved
at the Ross P. Curtice Music Co., the
week commencing October 23.
The special inducement offered to
the students is in the form of an
innovation to the Players regular sea
son. A Saturday matinee of each pro
duction will be given for the 6tudcnts
and faculty members who heretofore
have been unable to attend the eve
ning performances. The regular price
of these matinee season tickets is
12.50, but for this week and this week
only, they will be offered to the stu
dents and to the faculty for J2.00.
The reason for this reduction is in
accord with tho earnest intention of
the Players' management to get the
students and the faculty to attend
their plays. They received many in
quiries from other Universities as to
the manner in which the Players have
been able to offer three performances
to 1,800 patrons when the school en
rollment is only a little over twice
that amount The answer Is very sim
ple. It is primarily that the studenti
of the University of Nebraska are not
the ones who support the University
Players. It is the theater-going peo
ple of Lincoln and vicinity. This Is
not right. The student body and the

An efi'oit 'o (heck up every ;:o;.ho
more to se whether or not ho re
ports to uphold the honor of tl ? class
of 1925 in the annual Olympics battle
will be made this year by the mem
bers of Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's
society. A list of all scrondyea
ineii has been secured and efforts ar"
now being made to line them all tip
for the big battle. The only men
who can possibly be excused are tho
members of the varsily football squad
who will not he asked to take part
in the scrap because of their more
important school duties.
Every year the sophomores have
been lax in their class support at the
big battle. Last year the horizon
was all bright for a sophomore vic
tory and the members of Iron Sphinx
were certain they would have a 100
per cent representation at the battle
grounds. The day of the fight came
and literally hundreds of the sopho
mores failed to appear for the scrap.
The second-year men lost by a scant
marsrin. Had more appeared, it
is
doubtful If the freshmen would have
won.
Sophomore tryouts for boxing and
wrestling were held Wednesday eve

few men still wish to try cut and the
committee on Olympics is leaving the
places open until these men have had
an opportunity to try for the places.
Men who wish to try out for boxing

men irem ;nc various siaiea i
Rocky Mountain region who were in
terested in college paper editing or
managine. and in student body gov-
erning, held Joint meetings thruout
the conference. Nebraska was one of
he twenty colleges and universities
represented at these meetings.
At the close of the meetings a re
nort wa eotten out explaining the
ways different schools met their dif
ficulties. This contains the different
ways and means of meeting the num
erous problems that arise on the cam
puses of the schools. It contaii'f
much of value to those In any way
connected with school activities.
The following is the report cf iu.
association, not as to definite things
decided, but as to the ways In which
the numerous problems of the campus
are worked out by the schools repre
sented. The association hopes that
the schools in the Rocky Mountain
region will give this report their con
sideration, and next year make a spe
cial effort to have at least their col
lege paper Editor, and their student
body president in attendance.
College Paper Subscriptions
All of the schools except tho fol
lowing listed onts have a compulsory
subscription to the college paper,
which is collected on the student en
terprise tickets at the beginning of
the year.
At the University of Nebraska, and
at Hays Normal, about one half of the
students subscribe to the papers.

Waive Superstition
There was a time when thirteen pea
pie wou'd not sit at a table together
and when the very mention of the
number thirteen would cause a crop
of goose pimples to pop out, or would
cause low whispering and spooky
glances. Those days seem to be over.
Thirteen Is considered lucky and this
will undoubtedly be proven by the or
ganization of University Players.

Two committees have been ap
pointed by Sigma Delta Chi, honorary
journalistic fraternity, one for th"
purpose of bringing the national con
vention of 1923 to Lincoln, and the
ther to carry on the work of organ
izing the Nebraska State High School
Press Association. The press associa
tion committee is composed of Jack
Austin, chairman; Orvin Gaston and
Herbert Brownel!, jr. The convention
committee is made up of Gregg Me
Bride, chairman; Richard Reese and
Reede Reynolds.
Two of the high schools belonging
to tiie Press Association will be award
ed cups for prize papers. The larger
schools will be put in Class A and
the others in Class B. Any high
school wining the cup three times in
succession will be allowed to retain
it permanently. This afternoon on?
of the members of the fraternity will
present the plans of the club for the
approval of the Nebraska State Teach
ers Convention. High school publica
tions are asked to send copies of their
papers regularly in order that thay
may be criticised by the Sigma Delt i
Chi committee.
The convention committee will ar
range for the fraternity to attend to
national convention at Manhattan,
Kansas, ill a body. An effort will be
made to bring the 1923 convention to
Lincoln. The co-operation of alumni
ind of the Chamber of Commerce will
be sought. The Nebraska chapter oi
Sigma Delta Chi, one of the most cen
trally located chapters in t lie coun
try, has never had a convention.

President cf the American State
Eank Tells of Trip Through

W. A. Selleck, president of the
American State bank, addressed th"
freshman Y. M. C. A. members at a
dinner on October 11 at the city "V. '
The next meeting will be held Octo
ber 25, when the organization .will he
completed. A constitutional and a
program committee have been tip
pointed. The meetings will be heM
every Wednesday evening.
Several ports In Spain were visited I
by Mr. Selleck, and he made a short
trip Into the Interior of tho country
to see tho Alhambra. In Italy he v Li
lted Pisa and Naples. After a stav
of some length at Constantinople, he
visited Jerusalem and Asia Minor. At
Alexandria he visited the tombs ot
ancient kings. From there Mr. Sel
leck went to the battlefields nf
France.
After the summary of his trip, Mr.
Selleck spoke mostly of his stay a'
Constantinople. The older part of the
city, he stated, contained most of th?
mosques and temples. The newer por
tion of the city, however, Is very
modern and would be a credit to any
American town.
The present trouble between Greece
and Turkey really started In 1914, ac
cording to Mr. Selleck, and had never
been settled Inasmuch as these coun
tries did not sign the treaty of Paris.
If the turka are irritated too much, a
Holy War will be the result.
Iron Sphinx meeting will be held
at the Delta Cbl House at 7:15 next

W
AS CAMPAIGN APPROACHES
Kntlntslasm for the Stadium Build
ers' campaign is rapidly mounting
-ai li day as the time for the opening
mass meeting approaches.
A lousing rally will lie held at 10
o'clock .Monday morning at the City
Auditorium. University alumni living
In Lincoln, wel'-known state officials
and ( raters, will be on the commit
lie to tell the students the "why and
the wheiefore" ot the Memorial stad
ium. Sludeuts who are now prejudiced
against the structure should be sure
to a it end the meeting in order that
they may lie given the other view
point: in order that they may weigh
their own arguments against the argu
ments of t he Stadium lluilders' com
mittee and why it should be raised
by student and alumni contribution.
The members of the committees arj
working hard. Meetings have been
hold several nights this week and
meetings will he held every night next
week. Fraternities and sororities are
bcink asked to call special meetings
at which the preposition of the Mem
orial Stadium will be taken up and
discussed.
With the campaign for the stadium
not yet under way, Lincoln business
houses and business men have already
come to t he front with generous
pledges. Accompanying the pledge is
a check, in each case, for one-fifth of
the total amount. The other four
fifths are to bo paid in the same way
that the student and alumni pledge
will be paid, the second fifth six
months after the contract for the
structure is let and the other three-
fifths in installments every six months
following. The fact that pledges for
generous sums, many of them doubling
and tripling pledges made in the cam
paign for the Memorial Gymnasium
two years ago, are already coming
Into the coffers of the Stadium Build
ers indicates that Lincoln will top th
mark of ?150,000 which has been set
jas the quota for the capital city.
Thirty-six hundred units is the least
which will he expected of the student
body in the next week campaign. If
at the general announcement to bo
made at the homecoming day game on
Saturday indicates that every student
lias railed to fulfill his trust, alumni
of the University of Nebraska will not
feel that they should subscribe the
other $:i 10,000. Students must top
their quota of $25 each, of $90,000 for
the entire student body, in order that
the alumni of the state will go over
the ton in raising the other neces
sary f li lo.iiiiO.
Nebraska's 1923 football warriors
will play fool ball in the new stadium.
That is. an assured thing. The Stad
ium Builders feel certain that the
students will respond to the confi
dence which has been placed In them.
Not Too Large.
In explaining the reason why tha
;iew Memorial Stadium is being built
to accommodate an immediate patron
age (lf -i ii.oou, the Stadium Builders
tell of Yah-, where ut a recent foot
hall contest 7S,00 jx-o;i!e were seated
and Jl.'fi.oiiy worth of check.-; for fur
ther scats were turned away. At Illi
nois In 19oo a football field capable
of seating l.i'OO people provided the
gridiron fur all the football contests.
Today Illinois is building a stadium
capable of seating 75.000 people. The
structure was planned as a million
dollar architectural masterpiece. When
the campaign was h'id $1,SU0,000 was
raised. Illinois is a state Institution
the same as Nebraska, having an en
rollment of 9.20S students as against
6.9fi6 for Nebraska.
Then after showing the comparisons,
tho committee explains that every
day there are hundreds of men work
ing to Improve the highways through
out Nebraska. Most of these high
ways lead directly Into Lincoln. With
in a few years, by next fall, if th
stadium Is finished, these highways
will he filled with a steady stream of
cars headed toward the capital city
of Nebraska to witness clashes of the
Cornhuskers with opposing teams. At
the state fair last September xnor
than 61.000 people filed through tbo
gates on the high attendance day.
Fewer people living In Lincoln prob
t.lv are Interested in the Stat Ulr
than in Nebraska's football teams.
That means that at least 60,000 Po-
