of $100 is offered to a sophomore or
junior girl. A second scholarship of
$50 is offered to a sophomore or jun

MAKE PLANS FOR
HEAVY SEAT SALE
Sales Open Monday Morning;
Buyers Must Line Up for
Choice Seats.
All organizations which wish to
secure blocks of seats in the sta
dium for the football season must
turn in the lists of their purchas
ers at the Student Activities of
fice not later than 5 o'clock Fri
day so that the checking will not
delay the sales Monday morning.
Student athletic ticket sales this
year are expected to be heavier than
ever before. Three thousand seats
have been reserved for students in
the best section of the Stadium from
the 20-yard line to the 20-yard line
and from the first to the twenty-sec
ond rows.
Sale will start Monday morning
Monroe D. Gleason, chairman of
the committee in charge, stated. The
only place the tickets may be ob
tained is at the booth east of Univer
sity Hall. There will be no solicitors.
Reservations for fraternities or
sororities, or other campus organiza
tions, where the members wish to
sit together, will be made. The best
reservations can be made by those
who get there first next Monday
morning. Absolutely no reserving oi
tickets will be made until then.
Checks for the amount of the tick
ets must be presented. A long line
of representatives of campus organ
izations is expected to be at the
booth when selling begins.
As before, the N buttons, with the
year, 19Z4, will be given out to tne
purchasers.
The tickets will not only admit
students to the Nebraska games with
Illinois, Colgate, Missouri and Ore
gon State College, but will also be
good for the Wesleyan-Simpson
game, the homecoming celebration of
the Methodist school. Arrangements
were recently made to play this game
in the Nebraska Stadium.
The price this year is $7. 60. This
covers admission to all University
athletic events and,includes the use
of the tennis courts for the fall and
spring seasons. If these tickets were
purchased 'separately they would cost
more than $26. Even tickets to all
football games, purchased separate
ly, would cost more than the student
ticket

Chancellor Speaki.
In welcoming the class to the
freshman initiation Chancellor Avery
said in part:
"I regret that I cannot know you
all personally. It .would give me
great pleasure to enjoy personal rela
tions with every one of this fine
class. I wish I might have some per
sonal touch with every student, ev
ery alumnus of the University. This,
however, is physically impossible. In
round numbers the school year is
forty-eight weeks, including the sum
mer session. Placing office hours at
forty-four hours per week, if I were
to devote half of my time to stu
dents' individual problems, giving the
other half to the routine business of
the office, I would have just about
six months a year to devote to every
one of the ten or eleven thousand
students who are registered in all
of the University's activities. If each
student whose name goes through
the registrar's office during the year
were to see me for one moment, this
alone would consume twenty days of
eight hours each. The freshmen
alone would consume a very consid
erable part of this time. So you see
I have to meet you on such an oc-
cassion as this en masse rather than
personally. The task does not get
easier year by year. The latest fi
gures show that there are 230 more
students registered than there were
year ago. The great growth of
the University, however, does not
mean that you will not get personal
attention. Universities are wonder
ful organizations. With regents,
presidents, deans, directors, regis
trars and finance secretaries on the
executive side, with professors, asso
ciate professors, assistant professors,
instructors, assistant instructors and
assistants on the instructional side,
you will be just as well and compe
tently cared for as in smaller organi
zations. But I feel a personal loss in
the lack of contact with young people
and the necessity of meeting you in
large groups rather than as indivi
duals. I welcome you to one of the
great institutions of the country, not
primarily because it is great but be
cause of the opportunities you will
find here."
Explains Opportunities.
The Chancellor went on to explain
briefly some of the opportunities that
the University offers. He urged the

TO ELECT HONORARY
COLONEL OCTOBER 7
Head of Regiment Will Not be
Announced Until After
Class Elections.
The Honorary Colonel of the R. O.
T. C. regiment will be elected Octo
ber 7 at the class elections. The name
of the colonel of the regiment will
not be announced until after the elec
tion. This is an innovation in the
election of the honorary colonel. In
previous years the colonel has been
selected first and the Honorary Col
onel elected later.
Any junior or senior woman may
be elected to this position. This year
women must file for the position or
have their friends file for them. The
name of the Honoary Colonel will be
announced immediately after the
election. It has been customary in
previous years to keep the name of
the winner of this election secret un
til the Military Ball in November.
The woman who is elected to the
position will lead the grand march
with the Colonel at the Military Ball
which will open the formal season in
November. A review of the regiment
will be held in her honor in iht
spring.
