NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY,
CORNHUSKER BANQUET
TOASTMASTER CHOSEN
Annual Football Dinner Will
Be Held at Scottish Rite
, Temple Tickets $1
John D. Clark, '05, vice president
of the Standard Oil company of Indi
ana, is to be the toastmaster at the
annual Cornhusker banquet, which
will be held Friday evening, Decem
ber 14 at the Scottish Rite Temple.
This banquet, which has become a tra
dition at the University, is given in
honor and appreciation of the foot
ball team and the work it has done
for the school.
The Innocents are in charge of the
dinner and they say that as the Tem
ple has been enlarged since last year,
about 1500 men can be accommo
dated. They have been at work for
some time and according to Ken
neth Cozier, general chairman, the
banquet is to "be bigger and better
than ever before." There will be
two orchestras playing during the ;
meal, the Kandy Kids and the Seren-
aders. !
All the speakers have not yet been
decided upon, but it is assured that
Captain Lewellen and Coach Schulte
will be on the list and if Coach Daw
son returns, he will also talk. In the
past all fraternities have closed their
tables that night so that their mem
bers can attend, and the same will be
done this year.
The tickets will go on sale next
week, each fraternity being alloted
thirty-five of the pasteboards, while
the Iron Sphinx and the Vikings will
have charge of the sale on the cam
pus. The price will be one dollar.

BUYERS MAY RECEIVE
REBATE ON ANNUALS
Business Manager Announces
That Success of Campaign
May Warrant Refund.
The price of the "Cornhusker of
Progress," the 1924 yearbook of the
University, originally set at $4.50,
may be reduced fifty cents or more,
in the form of a rebate when the
book is issued, dependent upon
the number of copies ordered in
the sales campaign which began
Monday and will continue until
Friday, announces David G. Richard
son, '25, Omaha, business manager.
To secure student publications to
students "as nearly as possible at

31,000 Russian students have

50 to 90 per cent of the students

cost" is the instruction of the Board
of Regents under which the Student
Publication Board operates. Limita
tion of salaries (in line with the prac
tice at other middlewestern universi
ties) and close supervision of the
management of all student publica
tions were adopted by the board last
winter.
This limitation in the amount of
money staff members may make out
of their positions makes It possible
this year for the first time for the
board to consider a possible rebate to
buyers of the "Cornhusker," after
the costs of the enlarged book are
met and the limited salaries of staff
members are paid.
"Old Crads" Remembered.
Of interest, not only to present
Etudents but to students of former
years, the yearbook will carry a motif
of history dedicated to "Old Grads,"
says Robert F. Craig, editor-in-chief.
Never before at the University, and
perhaps never before in American
colleges, has the place of the alumni
occupied such a prominent position
in the plans of an annual. Fifty-four
years of activity at the University
with the record of every organization
will give the book a wide interest to
graduates.
This added interest will not be
gained at the expense of usual sec
tions; for plans for the 1924 annual
include an enlargement of the size
of the book both in page-size and
number of pages. Most of the art
worK will be done by campus artists
and the printing of the volume has
been awarded to a Lincoln firm.

jweek so that the proper number of

; on sale next spring and in order to
insure getting a copy, subscriptions
should not be put off.
Making Fine Progress
"The salesmen are making fine
progress and are to be complimented
on their work." stated David Rich
ardson, business manager of the an
nual, last night. There are 250 stu
dents on the campus taking orderd
and the goal they have set for them
selves is 3500 copies by Friday noon.
"Students must remember in vot
ing for the representative seniors to
fill in all ten lines if they wish their
vote counted." he added. This ruling
is made in order to prevent ' cam
paigning for individual students.
Ballot boxes have been placed in the
College Book Store, University Hall,
Social Science Building, and in the
Agricultural college cafeteria.
The business manager wishes to
meet all the college chairmen in the
Cornhusker office at 2:30 this after
noon to talk over the sales campaign.
All books should be checked in before
five o'clock at the office in the base
ment of the University Hall.
