All students having unsold tickets are requested by the committee to turn them in as soon as possible at the student activities office in Me morial hall. Although the campaign on the campus is closed students may still buy season tickets at the activ ities office.

Separate committees for each day of the drive were appointed in each college. The largest number of tickets was sold on Wednesday, the first day of the campaign. Dorothy Sprague was the highest individual saleswoman for Friday, the last day of the campaign. Miss Spragu sold thirty tickets. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1923. PRICE 5 CENTS ADMIT CHILDREN FREE TO OKLAHOMA GAME Pass Privilege Due to Activity of Rotary Club, Y. M. C. A. and Boy Scouts. Several thousand children were admitted free to the Nebraska-Oklahoma game yesterday thru the ac tivity of the Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A. and the Rotary Club. All children from 9 to 14 were extended the free pass privilege. Passes were distributed by the public school teachers and the Y. M. C. A. to all children within the age limits. The Boy Scout organiza tion patroled the sections at each end of the field where the youngsters were gathered and were responsible for maintaining order. The high places at each end of the gridiron were covered with the children. Scouts were on hand thruout to en force order, since it was under guar antee of good behavior that the re quest was granted. University authorities have wanted m the past to grant such privileges to school children, but lack of space and no guarantee of order made the Plan impossible. The new stadium and co-operation with the Boy Souts have caused the change. A. S. Dougall, of the Rotary Club, who has worked for some time on the matter and aided materially in securing both University and Scout consent to the plan. It is thought that college spirit will be aroused and a college spirit instilled in the children of the city whether they later attend the University or not. In case of wet weather children will be allowed to 'occupy vacant at in the stands, but at big games and in dry weather they will be ex pected to remain at the ends of the field.
